How Gen. Butler Treats seeesslOnlsts.

A New Orleans correspondent of the n. Y. /
6cral& writes as follows:
Bold Secesh FemaIe-A Row.
On Thursday last we had quite an exciting
time in the street. A young woman named
Hannah Larue took it into her pretty little |
head to appear on Canal street, near the Pro-
vost Marshafs Office, wearing Secesh flag on
her bosom and to cheer for jeff" and dis
tribute slips Of paper on which was printed
that Mcclellan, with forty thousand of his
men, had been captured, and his army com
pletely ronted.
The Arrest
Such conduct tending to excite riot, and
crowd beginning to gather, Lieutenant Ed
ward J. Noyes, passport officer, concluded to
arrest her. He took detective Barney Will
liams AID placed her in his custody, and or
dered an orderly to accompany them to the
City Hall. As they passed through st.
Charles street, Mrs. Larue screamed, and sew
eral hundred persons followed. just as they
reached Leeds shoe store little above Canal
street. man rushed out of the store and at
tempted q rescue. He knocked Williams
down and struck the orderly with club; the
orderly drew mis- pistol, but Just then another
police officer came up and fired at the man
with the club, inhieting wound in has left
breast. The wounded man took to his heels
and has not yet been caught. During the
melee Mrs. Larue escaped, but was soon again
secured. After the fight was all over Viii
liams ran like good fellow, crying murder.
He is to be dismissed from the service.
She was brought before the Military
GOVERNOR
Arrived at the city hall, Mrs. Larue, on
seeing Gen. Shipley, threw handful of her
slips of paper in his face, but on being in-
formed by his orderly that she had insulted
the Governor of Louisiana, she begged his par
don, saying: have heared that you are
gentleman" In the meantime she INDUCED
in very highly seasoned language, in which
profanity was an important ingredient, about
President Lincoln and other distinguished In
ion officers. By this time great crowd had
collected outside Of the building. Lieut.. A.
G. Bowles, Aid-de- Camp, went out and ordered
two cavalry men to draw their sabras and
clear the sidewalk, The crowd fell back in
stantly before these two pieces of cold steal
In few minutes Lieut.. Neyes took the rebel
lious little woma1 in carriage and carried
her down to Gen. Butler. During the ride
she favored Mr.. Noyes with y volley of seces-
sion sentiments, and finally relieved herself by
breaking off the handle of her elegant fan and
/ throwing it into his face.
The Lady's Husband Arrested-BOth are
l brought DcfOre Oens buIAers
/ Her husband was also brought before Gen
| erai Butler At headquarters Mr.. Larue be-
/ haved in the most defiant manner, making
mouths and scouting at the General in an in
tense style. He told her that that kind Of
| thing would not effect him in the least, and
that if she bit her lips till the blood ran il
wouldn't trouble him. She then turned her
head as far away from him as she could, with
the most superb expression of scorn on her
face, and occasionally uttered reasonable Ian
guage and threatened General Butler She
was particularly anxious that he should re
member that Besuregard would hear of hel
martyrdom. Her husband stated that he had
repeatedly warned her against exhibitions Of
hatred towards United States officers and sol
diers. The General issued an order sending
her to Ship Island. Larue begged to be al
lowed to 90 in her place, but General Butler
didn't believe in vacarious punishment. He
asked Larue his business. He stated that ht
was a sporting man. General Butler told hin
that gambling was vagracy in the eyes of th,
law, and that he should send him to the parish
prison until further orders.
Mrs. Larue was "Game" to the Last,
And declared that she felt bad only for he
husband. She is only about twenty years old
and is very pretty, and it was really distress
ing to see a young creature, so calculated {.
adorn society, conducting herself so disgrace
fully. Larue wished to send to Brooklyn
minister Mr.. VanDyk, I think,) for certif
cate of their marriage, from which conclud
they are from. New York.
The following is the order for their punish
ment:
