How General BaiIer Treats seeessiSnists
A New Orleans correspondent Of the New
York Herald writes as follows:
BOLD sECEsH FESIALE-A ROW.
On last Thursday 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 provost
marshals cfice, wearing a seeesh flag on her
bosom and to cheer for Z" JEFF" and distribute
slips Of paper on which was printed that Me
| Clellan, with forty thousand Of his men, had
been captured, and his army completely routed.
/ THE ARREST.
Such conduct tending to incits not. and a
crowd beginning to gather, Lieutenant Edward
/ j. NOyes, passport officer, concluded to arrest
her. He took detective Barney Williams and
placed her in custody, and ordered an orderly 20
| accompany them 10 the City Hall As they
passed through St. Charles street, Mrs. Lsrue
! screamed, and several hundred persons followed.
Just as they reached Leeds shoe store, a little
above Canal street, man rushed out Of the store
and attempted a rescue. He knocked Williams
down and struck the orderly with a club; the
orderly drew his pistol, but just then another
police officer came up and fired at the man with
the club, inhicting a wound in bis left breast
yet been caught Daring the melee Mrs. Larue
escaped, but was soon again secured. After the
fight was all over, Williams ran like a good
fellow, crying murder He is to be dismissed
the service,
SHE WAS BROUGHT BEFORE THE MILITARY
GOVERNOR.
Arrived at the city hail. Mrs. Larue, on seeing
Gen. Shepley, threw a handful Of her slips Of
paper in his tace, but, on being informed by his
orderly that she had insulted the Governor Of
Louisiana, she begged his pardon, saying, "
have heard that you are a gentleman" In the
meantime she INDUCED in very highly seasoned
language, in which profanity was an important
ingredient, about President Lincoln and other
distinguished Union officers. By this time a
great crowd had collected outside the building
Lieut.. A. G. BOwles, aid-de-canp, went out and
ordered two cavalry men to draw their sabres
and clear the sidewalk. The crowd fell back
instantly before these two pieces Of cold steel.
In few minutes Lieut.. NOyes took the rebelli0us
little woman in a cerTisge and carried her down
to Gen. Butler. During the ride she favored
Lieut.. Noyes with a vOlley Of secession senti-
ments, and finally relieved herself By breaking
off the handle Of her elegant fan and throwing
it in his face.
THE LADY's HUSBAND ARRESTED-BOTH
BROUGHT BEFORE GEN. BUTLER.
Her husband was also brought before Gen.
Butler. At headquarters Mrs. Larue behaved in
the most defiant manner, making mouths and
sccwling at the general in an intense style. He /
told her that that kind of thing would not effect
him in the least and that if she bit her lDs till
the blood ran it wouldn't trouble him She then /
turned her head far away from him as she !
could, with the most superb expression of scorn |
on her face, and occasionally uttered reasonable
language and threatened Gen. Butler. She was
particularly anxious that he should remember
that BeauTegard would hear of her martyrdom
Her husband stated that he had repeatedly
warned her against exhibitions Of hatred toward
United States efficers and soldiers. The general
issued an order sending her TO Ship islaud La
rue begged to be allowed to 20 in her place, but
Gen. Butler didn't believe in vicarious punish /
ment. He asked Larue bis business He stated
that be was sporting man. Gen. Butler told |
him shat gambling was vagraucy IN the eye Of |
the law, and that he should send him to the |
parish prison until further orders.
MRS. LARUE WAS GAME TO THE LAST.
She declared that she felt bad only for her /
husband She is only about twenty years old, /
and is very pretty, and is very smart. and it
was really distressing to see 4 young creature, /
so calculated 10 adOru society, conducting her
self so dlsgrGcefully LaTUe wished to send t. |
a Brooklyn minister Mr.. Van Dyck, I think, |
for certificate Of their marriage, from which |
