a private manner, that the hauling down of the flag from the Mint was the unauthorized act of the men who performed it. These were W. B. Mumford (who cut it loose from the flagstaff), Lieutenant Holmes, Sergeant Burns, and lames Reed, all but Mumford members of the Pinckney Battalion of Volunteers. On the following day, Captain Bell landed with a hundred marines, put the National flag in the places of the ensigns of rebellion on the Mint and Custom House, locked the door of the latter, a and that, so soon as General Butler should arrive with his forces, he should turn over the charge of the city to him, and resume his naval duties. Let us see what General Butler had been doing for the few preceding days. A few hours after Mumford and his companions had pulled down the National flag, General Butler arrived and joined Farragut on the Hartford; and, in his report to the Secretary of War on the 29th, he foreshadowed his future act by saying: This outrage will be punished in

domestic enemies, the Government, conscious of its strength, has been lenient and magnanimous beyond all precedent, toward those who attempted to destroy the Union, and has thereby won the applause and admiration of civilized men. Of the thousands of the citizens of the Republic, who consciously and willingly committed treason against the United. States, according to the prescriptions of the Constitution, See clause 1, section 8, article III. only one had been punished for the crime, Mumford, hung by Butler, at New Orleans. See page 851, volume II. and one other (Jefferson Davis) had been indicted when this record was closed. See page 579. The developed and undeveloped resources of the country, and its actual visible wealth, are evidently so abundant and available, and the irrepressible energies of the people are so great, that the enormous debt created by the business of suppressing the Rebellion is not regarded as a very serious burden upon the industry of the nation.

at New Orleans sufferings of the people. Editors of Dispatch: Having received a letter from a friend to the down trodden and oppressed "Crescent City," of a date as late as the 29th ult., I send you a few extracts from it, knowing it will be interesting to your Louisiana readers, and hoping that you will give it a place in your paper. * * * * * * * I possess a fortune in the shape of an "enemy's certificate," rendered by B. F. Butler, the murderer of that heroes patriot, W. B. Mumford. I suppose of course, you have read of the most glaring features of Butler's rule — how he has insulted the ladies, stolen property, imprisoned Confederates, and lavished, with unsparing wrath, the fiendish impulses of his black heart. But one of the most uncalled for acts was the closing of the Episcopal Churches. I was present when St. Paul's church was desecrated, and can therefore, give you a correct account of the proceedings. Previous to the Sunday morning on which the circumst
