after the capture of the city, no other evidence OF
its existence than the assemblages OF o few Union
men once q week in public meeting. The last four
or five months have altered ell this. Jast see what
we have done. We succeeded in electing two men
to Congress to represent us, the people, not, ss
suppose, the slave oligarchy Then we began a. ,ne
root of troubles. Attention was directed he
public schools where the minds and feelings OF We
next generation are formed; we insisted upon sno
singing Of the national airs and the pisyIns Old

A few weeks ago only Union men were insulted

every eYpedisnt possible resorted TO TO worry ana
annoy them while they passed on or crossed over.
This as told you at the time, could not last-must
stop, and stop it has Now. let any of these Rebels,
male or female, repeat these performances, aud IN
stead Of avoiding them, Union men have them
arrested and turn them over to the authorities. AT
first that was some trouble to the Union men. The
authorities, especially Judge Peabody, looked
80 kindly ON these Rebel manifestations, that the
Rebels took courage from his conduct, instead OIL
being deferred theIefrom. But Judge Peabody him.
self has been taken in hand, and am hsppy to say
that there is petition in circulation, which is being
extensively signed, praying the President TO remove
Judge Peabody. His course on the bench of the
Provost Court lie universally condemned by loyal
men. Judge Hugne, Oh the other hand, has proved
himself in earnest, good and true man. Yesterday
he sentenced one Of the feminine Rebel upper'ten,
Mrs. Bell, for nsoent language TO soldier, and
speaking CONTEMPORARY Of Ibe tag OF our country,
to three months imprisonment.

But now mark you all this is changed. Brig Gen.
Bowen has published an order requiring sill public
! performances where an orchestra is used, to COM
nepce the entertainment by the performance OF 4
National air, and the performance 10 slso to close
with one. All public places of resort, excepting
churches and places Of worship but more especially
the ST. Charles and City Hotels, are to exhibit the
ilag-and this mind you is all by force OF public
opiuion-hs course has been as much forced upon the
authorities as il ia by the authorities on these quasi
Rebels
And tonight while write there is a convention
Of delegates from the several Union Associations
sitting to devise the best means 70 organize State
Government, aud what the character Of that ne
Government will be, there is no doubt IN my mind
One of the associations have published card IN to-

owe this band many obligations for the cheerfulhess
