anxiety account of his family who ali the while

The case of Mr.. Monroe deserves special study and
his example commands high admiration ipasmuch as
he was, during all the time of his captivity, piled with
evecy conceivable temptation, to betray his country
and become the tool of Ter enemies Any day IN the
fifteen months be knew that the O6r open 20 him
of wealth and honors and the profitable friendship OF
the brgand Butler, if he would only consent to be may
or of New Orleans under Yankee rule, and thus give
Butler what he much desired, color OF legality and
of civic sanction for his enormities. Mr. Monroe how
ever, persstently refused being moved thereto not
only by his personal Of duty, but also by his rep
resentative position guardian Of the dignity OF tue
city which had made him its chief magistrate. The
example Was Iustrous, a2d had its effect for we have
since many thousand ofthe citizens cosept to lose
as criminals and paupers rather than touch the
ed thing-,a Yankee oath of allegiance. Il there are
some Others of easier conscience who have taken that
oath, to save their propertyit not tie fault of
Mayor Monroe.
We have read highly interesting account Of all the
incidents of the Mayors arrest and captivity and OF
the whole series CT events from his first spir I'd reply
to the outrageous threat of Ferragut down his
