The Wemsn Of the Town Order.

The Herald correspondent says, in rela-
ton to Gen. Buffers order that all women
insulting soldiers should be treated as
''women of the town plying their ayoca-
tions:'
The order gives great satisfaction to the
command, to whom the conduct Of the dis
loyal ladies Of the city has become ALSO
lutyly intollerable. The Mayor and the
violent secessionists received tin high dud-
geop, and the Mayor addressed the follow
ing letter on the snlject to Gen.. Butler.
The order contains no reflections whatever
on the virtue Of New Orleans ladies, but
leaves their future reputation to their be-
hayior after the date of the order A
more efectual method of abating such an
evil could not be devised, and | believe il
viii be entirely successful. But here is the
Mayors letter:
STATE OF LOUISIANA,
MAYoRALIrr or NEw ORLEANS, May Ie, 1852 5
Majer Gen. Be3ti. #. Butler, Command
ing United States forces.
SIR-Your general order, No. %, Of
date 18th inst, which reads as follows
(here follows order %, respecting ladies)
lis of a character so extraordinary and
astonishing that cannot, holding the Of
flee Of chief magistrate Of this city, charge
able with its peace and dignity, suffer i TO
be promulgated in orr presence without
protesting against The threat it contains,
which has already aroused tire passions Of
our people, and must exasperate them to
degree beyond control. Your officers
and soldiers are permitted, by the terms Of
this order, to place any construction they
may please upon the conduct of our wives
and daughters, and, upon such construc-
ton, to softer them atrocious insults. The
peace Of the city and the safety Of your Of
hcers and soldiers from harm or insult
have, | affirm, been successfully secured to
an extent enabling them to move through
our streets almost unnoticed, according to
the understanding and agreement entered
into between yourself and the city authori-
ties. l did not, however, anticipate war
upon women and children, who, so far as |
am aware, have only manifested their dis
pleasure az the occupation " lnelI Cley "
those whom they believe to be their enc
mics, and | will never undertake to be res
ponsibe for the peace Of New Orleans while
such an edict, which infunates our citizen
remains in force To give a license to the
officers and soldiers Of your command to
commit outpages such as are indicated in
your order upon defenseless women Is. il
my judgment, reproach TO the ciyiliza-
ton, not to say to the Christianity, Of the
age, in whose name make this protest.
| am, sir, your obedient servant,
john 7. MONROE, Mayor.
To this disrespectful letter Gen. Butler
souchsaled the following unequiyiocal an

Our latest adyices from Nashville state
that the Federal troops have not yet occu-
pied the city.
The scouts of Gen. Buelrs army have
appeared on the north side Of the Cum
berland river, and it is supposed their aP'
pearance is prepatory to an early advance
on the main column.
Gems. Price and McCuIIoch are both
preparing for battle. The former is tbs
side Of Fayetteville, and the latter at Bos-
ton Mountain with force Of cavalry.
It is reported that nine Federal gun
boats were seen on Sunday at Mayheld
and fifteen transports. No immedatoaS

Mississippi River to be Cleared Cheap Treights.

Itnow appears highly probable That the
lower Mississippi, will be made free for
commerce through TO New Orleans by the
might Of loyal arms about the time the
upper Mississippi made free from icy OBJ
stractions BY the heat IF loyal sunshine,
God grant it may be SO, by the help Of
General Grant and Commodore Foote,and
ests Of the north west must consider to suf-
their engines Of war! The commercial inter
fer the consequences Of high transportation
charges until the Mississippi river is cleared
Of rebel works; syery bushel Of grain sold
aud every hog and thing sent TO market is
now taxed over a third Of its value for rail-
road excess charges.
Nor have we any great faith in the gen
eral belief that such charges viii be materi-
ally lowered in the spring, unless The Miss
issippi river is cleared ofrebels, if oven then
unless rhe rebels are all slaughtered or col
onized TO Africa. The northern railroads,
inst ike all other institutions and men
viii not abate one cent on their charges IN
less competition compels them to do it,.
For all We can see, they will have all the
frsights 10 carry which they can put
through, at whatever ehasse they have a
mind to exact, until the great Southern
outlet is cleared and freights pass round to
New York to Europe, to the Islands and
South America ty way Of New Orleans.
The Mississippi aver, after all that has
been expended for tuilding railroads, IS
tho most Ratural and cheapest market out

VGsIrs III WAsHrNeTov. To-day, we
made round Of visits. First to Gen.
McClellan'a--it is a large house on the
corner Of One and Fifteenth street. Mrs.
Mcclellan, ever gracefully and pretty, did
the honors charmingly, showing off the
wonderful dog Prince, who is near to a
human being-perhars superior to some
in intelligence-wh seems perfectly to
understand ali conversation, who will walk
on his hind legs or his fore legs, or sing or
talk at bidding. We had, too, a glimpse
Of the smiling baby, who has Tho Cen
erals thoughtful eyes looking out Of a tiny
face. Thence we went to Mr. Stewards
fine house on Lafayette Square. In the
large parlors up stairs we found Mrs. Fred
Seward alone, doing the somewhat laBori-
Gus honors to a room full Of ladies, princi-
pally dowageFs, | should judge from ap-
pearances.
Our next visit was to Secretar Welles,
wEo Is in the White house once occupied
by the rebel Sldell. 1t is well planned
and very tastefully furnished. Mrs. Well
les was indisposed, her niece, tall AMI
stately lady taking her place. Once more
in line with the stream Of carriages, and
to Attorney General Bates. There we
had the pleasure Of seeing Mrs. Bates, his
amiahle lady, who has the kindest brown
eyes and the sweetest smile in the world.
Her graceful daughters assisted her ably in
the task Of entertaining THAR guests. Last
Of all to Secretary Stanton's. His beauti-
full wife received Us with high bred courte-
81, and we felt as we turned towards home
that we hat passed delightful morning.

Another remained outsipe OF the rifle
pits after all his companions had retreated
behind them, and fought with his sword
against half Il dozen Of the Unionists who
had surrounded him and were anxious to
take him prisoner. They asked him sew
eral times to surrender, but he declared be
