Interestine from New 0rleaBs--Gen. But
lerss Orders.-BFiuging the Secessionists
TO their Allegiance.
From the New Orleans correspondence Of
the New York Times we gather some in
teresting facts regarding General Buffers
reign over the contumacious Crescent City.
His later orders are as piquant and as ef-
feetive as any Of the earlier ones which
have become so famous. For four months
the people of that city had been invited to
return to their allegiance. A few had ac-
cepted the invitation, but ths majority still
clung to their traitorous delusion. Gener-
al Butler hit upon happy method to bring
these obstinate ones to their senses. In
an order dated September 18th he informed
the people of the city that the trans
fer of all property, or the transaction of
any other business, by an inhabitant of the
department who had not returned to his or
her allegiance to the United States, was
forbidden and void, and would subject the
persons guilty of violating the order to
fine and Imprisonment. AS the mass of
the citizens had not taken the oath, and as
this stopped all business on the part of
those who had not done so, the order
drought all up standing" inasmuch as
the offenders could not even draw their
money by check upon their bank. As may
be presumed, this caused a rapid increase
in the number of Oaths administered; but
General Butler had another lesson for
them. It was next ordered that all per-
sons, male or female, Of the age of eighteen
years and upwards who had ever been cit
liens of the United States and who had not
renewed their allegiance, should report
themselves on or before the first day of
October to the nearest Provost Marshal,
giving their residence, with q descriptive
list of all their property, real, personal and
mixed, receiving at the same time from the
Marshal of registration, certificate as an
enemy of the United States. This was an
other sumner to the secesh, who had hoped
to indulge in all their hatred of Unionism
without experiencing any inconvenience
therefor Visions of confscation began to
loom up in fearful proportions, and the
rush to take the oath was greater than ever.
Deputy Provost Marshals were required
upon almost every street, and old and
young, male and female, rich and poor, the
belle and the seamstress, the mechanic and
the fOp, the southern army contractor and
the pert miss who had turned up her nose
at passing federal soldier, all hurried to
obtain immunity from the execution of the
dreaded cOnfseation act, as it would be
administered by the inhexible Yankee law
yer. And so the strange spectacle was
presented of the rebellious city filed with
fever of prOfessed loyalty. All honor to
old Ben. Butler for his unsurpassed gen
eralship in civil affairs.
