Yellow fever is noticed. The Delta in an article
asking the question, " Shall we have City Gusrd,"
says:
Nearly twelve thousand Of our citizens have al
ready taken the oath of allegiance. W that num-
ber 10 fair to suppose that one-haf, at least nave
been Influenced By pure motives; and In tskihg
that oath have meant and understood all mat in-
piled. 1t certainly implies, among other things,
that they to afford the Government not only the
moral support of their aid aud countenance but also
the physcal support their services, II the occasion
should demand them. Not q few, however, OF the
outspoken Union OF the city, aud those not the
least influential, to consider, Hat instead OF
their supporting tue Government, the Government
is bound to support them. Accordingly, we lind
these PURE patriots very active and Jealous in the
pursui. of fat Offices, but very lnkewarm In pro-
noting ANYTHING like military organization, even
though its object may be simply tue protection OF
their own 6resides from the outrages Of mob.
In the event of attack on the city, what do
this army of offce-boders expect To repose calmly
in their beds and be protected by the Union soldiers
But those soldiers will all be needed to meet and
fight the foe. They cannot be expected to remain
behi d. for the protection OF ahle-boded mn,
who are certainly interested than they are in
the preservation oil order. Poor fellows, VIII Sc
worldly wealth finds room enough and 10 spare
within the compass Of a kuapsack--are they to rally
round the palaces of opulent oice-holders and keep
their inmates from harml Brave fellows whose
VdOf on tbe Oatte-ueiu might ISu 10 deserved pro-
notion and send their names blazing with glory in
the dispatches Of their leaders TO cheer the loving
hearts ut homes that vaor to be expended in the
suppression of vile mob We think not. If the
wealthy Union men Of New-Orleans desire TO be
protected from violence in the event of an attack
the city, they had better be prepared to protect
themselves.
The Delta urges the immediate organization Of q
Home Guard, and calls upon those who have taken
the oath Of allegiance to commence the work at
once.
GEN. BUTLER AND THE BANKS.
Gen. Butler, in General Order No. 294 orders the
merchants and Crescent City banks to go into lqui-
dstion and to suspend oil business the collection
of their assets, in consequence of their having
by their own showing not such cash assets as would
enable them to continue to be banks of issue and de-
posit. They are required respectively TO mske
weekly reports under oath of majority Of the Board
the condition OF the banks and the changes from
each report The order says:
In order that the public may be assured in their
confidence In the final redemption Of the liab ties OF
the bank, it is further ordered that the eli htest
breach of good faith in the officers of the bank,
In winding up tie affairs Of the bank, will be sum-
msrily and exemolarlly punished.
THE NATIVE GUARDS.
In General Order No. 63, Gen. Butler pays high
compliment TO the Native Guards, composed of the
free colored population of New-Orleans. After
citing the commission given to it's officers, the order
says:
