Incident OF the Capture of New Orleans By

Ex-Governor w d. Hoard of Wis

leans, notwithstanding the fact that
his first acquaintance with the city
and its attractions was made under
peculiar circumstances. 1t was dur
ing tho time that tried mems souls
when the forcos of the Union were
oncamped at the outer gates and tho
Confederate troops were seriously
thinking how best to get out of tho
warm location. General Lowell.

leans when the Federals, in charge
of General Butler, were knocking
for admittance finally concluded
that the best thing to do under the
circumstances was to evacuate and
by his action turn the city over to
the tender meroies of the opposed
forces.
Governor Hoard was among tho
Federals who constituted the troops
of Butler, and when this general,
with his soldiers, marched into the
city, Governor Hoard marched with
him. 1t was then that the govern
or-he was not then n governor-re-
oeived his first impressions of a city
which at that time had achieved
greatness among the commercial
conters of the country. These i'm
pressions have never died in his
memory.
Why" said Governor Hoard, 81
was ono of the most surprised men
in the whole world had heard of
fairy lands in which the rivers ran
wine and the hills were made of great
Jumps of sugar, but had never con-
oeived of city whose streets were
knee deep in. sweetness. Yet this
was just the case when we entered
Now Orleans. absolutely waded
ankle deep in sugar, and that in the
streets along the river. While the
affair has become matter of his
tory / shall never forget the sight.
You see, the fact of the blockade of
the port had caused vast quantity
of the products of the south, chiefly
sugar ond cotton, TO pile up in tho
city, and the inability of its owners
to ship the stuff resulted in the
warehouses being filled to overflow
ing. When General Lowell realized
that he must give up the fight and
leave the city, he determined to rem
der it impossible for the Union SOL |
diers to make use of the accumula-
tion of stores. To this end he gave |
orders for its destruction, and hun
dreds of hogsheads of new sugar
were violated andtheir contents cast |
into the streets Just like so much |
river sand. 1t was useless com.
for the time being, and |
great masses of the stuff were piled |
up where tho destruction occurred. !
When we marched into the section
of the city where the sugar had
been stored, we literally waded in
sugar. never saw such waste in
all my life in this respect, while all
along the levee front were the evil
dences of the burning of the cotton
which had been stored there wait
ing for an opportunity for shipment
