Butler at New Orleans.

There has been considerable said con-
corning tue administration of General
Butler in New Orleans, in 1862, and his
enemies have attempted particularly to
injure him by misrepresentlng his treat
ment of the rebellious women OF that
CITY. From an interview had by George
Alfred Townsend with a gentleman who
was a member of Buffers staff at New
Orleans the following extract is made:
"What was the fuss that Butler had
about the women of New Orleans 7"

to California. Their mission of disunion
has failed. Beaten out in Chicago,
hooted in New York, and threatened
with a worse fate in Boston. if they
went there, they have ignominiously
turned tail and abandoned their delusive

England's Threatening Difficulties.

No diplomatic apology, couched even
in the vaguest language in which the
language of the Frank is par excellence
so we'll fitted, has yet arrived to appease
the gloomy doubts and fears of the Of
Tended British nation for the insult to
their flag at Tamatave. The insult to
the roval pavilion of "the hypocrite of
the nations" is yet burning into the
hearts core of the despondent premier,
and, turn as he will, wars and rumors of
wars alone meet his gaze. In Zululand
the old trouble is as fresh as ever The
native king, Cetewayo, Englands pro-
tege, is dead !; and the difficulty which
encircled his country now stares Britain
in the face more sternly than ever. In
dia still boils, bubbles and seeths with
growing troubles, the Basutos yet main
tain an embarrassing attitude, and the
sturdy Beers of the Transvaal are not
satisfied with the suzerainty which the
Britain would hold over them indef-
nitely The ire of Portugal has been
aroused by the affairs at the Congo, and
the smouldering ruins Of Alexandria are
exhaling death and destruction instead
of strengthening British power or sus-
tanning the lives of those who were con-
quered On the borders of Armenia
Russian army stands encamped, ready
the moment the signal shall be given to
capture that Turkish province the pro-
lection of which England holds so dear.
The French are not even content with
their insults in Madagascar, but, from
Newfoundland to the Channel Islands,
from thence to the far east, they are
hampering British trade, and paying OFT
in her own coin the usurping policy Of
England.
Ireland is the thorn which now really
gals the hating foot Of the danger-en-
compassed British lion Close at her
own doors a smouldering contest goes
on, an earthquake-like rebellion, which
moves but by fits and starts, now present
ing white gloves of innocence to her
Judges, and now striking to the earth
the representatives of her brutal power.
In what great convulsions will this
warlike mass explode? How long will
the dim, blackened tempest-clouds con-
tinue to congregate, ere the mighty
sounds of the destroying cannon shall
belch forth the War cry Of the nations :?
England's difficulty has always been Ire
lands opportunity. In the day of Brit
ish success, from Cromwell to John
Poyntz Spencer, her cry has been mo
querter," no concession, no justice, no
submission to popular acclaim; by the
sword each in his turn held his power.
and not until driven to bay by the force
of an unequal resistance has she sheath
ed her weapon on what she euphemisti-
cally styled peace with honor"
No peace to the nation which would
not cede peace but by force of the baYo-
net. The hearts of millions whom her
system scattered over the world rejoice
to-day at the difficulties which encircle
their old enemy.-Irish World.

IT was generally concluded that the ar
rest and subsequent confession OF Harri-

have the effect of putting a stop to the nu-
merous fires in this city, but it seems that
