Gen Butler Feeding the New Orleans
Poor.

The general order of Gen Butler. distribu-
ting to the poor of New Orleans quantity
of beef and sugar belonging to the rebel
government, is capital thing in its way, and
capitally done, the general taking occasion
to enforce several pungent and appropriate
moral reflections in connection with wise
act of charity
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE Gulf,
New Orleans, May 8, 1862.
General Order No. 25.-The deplorable
state of destitution and hunger of the me-
chanics and working classes in this city has
been brought to the knowledge of the COM
manding general He has yielded to every
suggestion made by the city government,
and ordered every method of furnishing food
to the people of New Orleans that that gov
ernment desired. No relief by those Off
cials has yet been afforded. This hunger
does not pinch the wealthy and influential,
the leaders o: the rebellion, who have gotten
up this war, and are now endeavoring to
prosecute it without regard to the starving
poor, the working man. his wife and child
Unmindful of their suffering fellow-citizens
at home, they have caused or suffered pro-
visions to be carried out of the city for con-
federate service since the occupation by the
United States forces. Lafayette square,
their home of aftluence, was made the depos-
it of stores and munitions of war for the reb-
ell armies, and not of provisions for their
poor neighbors. Striking hands with the
vile, the gambler, the idler and the ruffian,
they have destroyed the sugar and cotton
which might have been exchanged for food
for the industrious and good, and raised the
price of that which is left, by d;screditing
the very currency they had furnished while
they eloped with the specie, as well that
stolen from the United States as the banks,
the prop rty of the good people of New Or
leans,-thus leaving them to ruin and starv.
alton; fugitives from justice, many of them
and others, their associates, staying because
too puerile and insignificant to be objects oi
punishment by the clement government Of
the United States. They have betrayed
, their country. They have been false to eve
ry trust. They have shown themselves inca.
pable of defending the state they have seized
upon, although they have forced every poor
mans child into their service as soldiers fol
that purpose, while they made their sons and
nephews officers. They csunot protect those
whom they have ruined. but have left then
to the mercies and assassinatlons rf chron
ic mob. They will not feed those whom the,
are starving. Mostly without property
themselves. they have plundered, stolen, and
destroyed the means Of those who had prop
erty, leaving children penniless and old az
hopeless.
Men Of Louisiana, workingmen, propert
holders, merchants, and citizens of the Unit
ed States, of whatever nation you may hav
had birth, how long will yeu uphold thes
fragrant wrongs, and by inaction suffer your
, selves to be made the serfs of these leaders
The United States have sent land and navs
forces here to fight and subdue rebellioas al

GENERAL WALLACE.

General Wallace, who was reported killed
at the battle of Pittsburg Landing, still lives,
with faint hopes of his recovery. May God
spare his life.l He is graduate of West
Point. Prior to the present war he was cap
tain Of the Washington Territory Mounted
Volunteers, in which position he took part in
the Indian War. At the commencement of
the rebellion he raised regiment of yolun-
teers in Illinois, and was appointed lis colo
mel. With this regiment of noble and dar-
ing fellows he was at Fort Henry and Fort
Donelson, where he greatly distinguished
himself.

THE FROG.

OF all the funny things that h'e'
In woodland, marsh or oos.,
That creep the gro qnd or fly the ar
The funniest is The frog
The trog-the scientihcest
OF Natures handiwork-
The frog, that neither walks nor runs,
But goes it with a Jerk.
With pants and coat of bottle-green,
And yellow funny y'st.
He p,unges into mud and mire-
All in his Sunday best.
When he sits down he's standing up,
As Paddy O'Quinn once said;
And for convenience sake he wears
His ewes en- the top of his head.
You see him sitting on a log,
Above the "vasty deep"
Y,u fec. inclined TO say, "old chap.
Just look befo,e you leap"
You raise your cane to hit him on
His uIiy-!ooking mug;
b., ere You get it halfway up,
Alown he goes kerchug.

GENERAL GRANT.

Major General Grant, who enjoys the clas-
sical prenomen of Ulysses, was born at Point
Pleasant, in Clairmont county, Ohio, April
81, 1922 He entered the West Point Acad-
emy in his 18th year, and graduated with
honors in lS42. He served in the Mexican
War, under General Taylor, at Palo Alto,
Resaca de la Palma and Monterey, and was
with General Scott in the capture of Mexico.
His bravery had in the meantime raised him
from the position of second lieutenant to that
of captain in the Fourth Infantry of the reg
ular army. Leaving the army in 1851, he
settled in Missouri, but in 1860 moved to
Galena, Illinois. At the beginning of the
present war he was appointed colonel of the
2lst Illinois volunteers, and on the 18th of
last May, he was promoted to briSadier
generalship. He has seen active service
since then in Missouri, and did some service
to the state by occupying Paducah, and by
stopping communications and supplies to the
rebels by the way Of the Tennessee river.-
when Foote reduced Fort Henry, General
Grants division, which had accompanied the
hotilIa, marched over to invest Fort Donel-
son; and Grant was the commanding gener-
al by whom the victory of Donelson was
gained. He was made major general for
this. There were afterwards some rumors
against his character, but he has gallantly
set these at rest by the determined and abe
conduct of the battle near Savannah. where
we had great interests at stake, and as it
proved, in worthy hands. Honor to Gener-
al Grant.
