From the True Delta, May 23.1
Within the past ten days we have received
numerous letters from the parishes on the
river, above md below the cify, all detailing,
with greater or lesser clFcunstantiality, the
dangers to which life and property on the
plantations are exposed FROM the fugitive
thugs, whom righteous retr:bution has at
length overtaken here. Below the city, on
the river, these piraticl1 assass1ns arc now opcr
atfrg IN ekifs, which they can easily aud readily
conceal during the day, or when apprehensiye
of arrest aud punishment at the hands Of the
federal authorities; and at night they launch
them, invade the quarters Of the plantations,
maltreating or tamperiDE with the slave popu
la!ion, inciling them to outrage aud insurrec-
tion, while they themselves take everything
portable they can lay their hands on. The
highest praise is due, and indeed universally
accorded to the United States military authori-
ties in this place, for their Intelligent compTe-
htnsiOn OF the character and extent and ModMs
ot,e'nndi OF this political banaitti, and their
exemplary rromptitude In Grappling with
them, with determination to crush them out
forever, if In their power, during their stay
Acre. And here let us pause to wonder aud
rcturn thanks at the same time to Providence
for this, one of the most inscrutab1e of His
ways to ayenge tue blood of SO many muir
deTed without Cause, unless, indeed, because
the aseassirated may have dared to claim and
exercise the iualienable right Of American citi-
zvns. In the parishes, below tue city par
ticu1arly, the greatest uneasiness is felt, and
at the moment it is not In the power Of tue
planters therein to come personally to the
authorities, and, as the custom Is, they ad-
dress themselves to their regular newspaper
mouth piece. They ask us to appeal to Gen.
Butler under circumstances Of uuususl peril.
