Matters in New Orleans.

Union that, wherever the Government army ha-
rooted out the authority established by traitors
and rebels their advent has been followed by
the returning confidence of the people The
smiling faces and open doors Of returning bu
sness show the satisfaction with which the
people Of the South bid adieu to the rule oi
the rebellious mob. The New Orleans Delta
of June lst, states that, such Is the feeling OF
relief and confidence experienced by the people
of that city, after one month under the firm
and judicious course pursued by Gen Butler,
that President Lincoln might walk, uuarmed
and unaccompanied. at any time through these
streets in full security, and to the JOY and de-

And yet the Republicans of California encour-

and patronize their organs, because they fancy
the existence of a reasonable political organi-

Here is local item from the Delta, that
shows that New Orleans does not tolerate the
treasonable language so common in California
John Dees was sentenced to two months
in the Workhouse for using seditious language
in relation TO the United States flag, saying
Ee was a rebel and preferred the flag Of the
Coniederacy."
That must be the Democratic method Of
dealing with those who utter reasonable sen
tments. The Republican policy in California
is not to punish men for uttering such sent-
ments, but to use the fact of their utterance to
show the people the necessity Of voting the
Republican ticket.
In speaking of the great change in the SEN
timents of the people Of New Orleans the
Delta says:
"The opportunity for this change has been
given to this people by the judicious course
adopted by the Major General commanding
1t would have been easy, nothing easier, TO
have adopted a course, Just but harsh, right
eous but strict, which would have added fuel
to the flame already burning only too furiousy.
But by a calm and quiet course waiting TO
fearn before acting, and then acting justly, and
in such manner as to elicit the praise of all. as
he relieved the fears of all, he has convinced
the people that the Government is to day, as
of old, protective and kindly and has drawn
out the old memories TO do their perfect work.
All honor TO him for this course and in this
course he has found no difficulty in leading his
assistants, who, believing in him, and acting
from no ulterior purpose beyond the restoration
of those magnificent monuments of human Wis
dom and human compromise. the Constitution
and the Union, have leaped to anticipate his

preceding. or viii you grasp at and cling to

The following items are also from the Delta

THE HEALru OF The TRoOrs-Since the
arrival of the Federal forces in this city. there
has probably been no similar body of men, in
any locality, so free from disease. The statis-
teal records kept by the surgeons exhibit an
amount of sickness of less than ten per cent
And when ii is well known that in all hospitals.
North, East and West the calculation of
sick per centage is fully up to that figure, and
that provision is always made in that proper
tion, it must be gratifying to the citizens of
New Orleans to know that there is such an
immunity from disease.
