t those commodities could be found in large quantities, and that no man owning them would reject our currency in exchange for them. Butler himself has been a noted speculator. He has a brother — a merchant — in Boston; and to him all the produce purchased will be sent. So that Butler, Barker &Butler expected to share the enormous profits that it was supposed would be realized. It is a very pretty game, and so like a Yankee ! and particularly so much like Butler, who is surnamed "Picayune," although "dollar" would be better under the circumstances of this especial instance of his avidity for gain. The jealousy between the army and the navy has come to so high a temper that the latter will not obey any orders addressed to it by Butler, except those which are essential to the holding of the city. We hear some instances of this, but are not at liberty to mention them. These men have come to the conclusion that the war is nearly at an end, and that the spoils of it wi

Picayune did not appreciate the fact that he had been made the victim of a successful "sell," until he learned shortly afterwards that he had been paying his respects to the proprietress of one of the most celebrated bagnios in the States, who is at thision, followed by the introduction of wine and cake, when the highly delighted visitors took their departure. Picayune did not appreciate the fact that he had been made the victim of a successful "sell," until he learned shortly afterwards that he had been paying his respects to the proprietress of one of the most celebrated bagnios in the States, who is at this time "considered a woman of the town, playing her vocation as such." The retribution that thus fell upon Picayune was deserved

In addition to the foregoing it is stated in the Picayune that Geo., W. Crage, first mate of the United States transport ship City of New York, Frank Newton, a private in the 15th Connecticut regiment, and Theo.

Dr. Samuel Harby, the editor of the New Orleans Bee, died on the 11th instant. He was a native of Charleston, but for twenty years connected with the Bee. Robert R.

From New Orleans. --The steamer Coatzacoalcos, from New Orleans on the 18th ultimo, arrived at New York on the 25th ultimo, with 272 hogsheads of sugar. The weather in the city was quite cool. Porter's mortar fleet had gone to Vicksburg. Farragut's fleet was still in front of New Orleans. Several acts of the City Council had been vetoed by the Yankee General. We copy the following in relation to the execution of four men for crimes committed from the Picayune, of the 17th ultimo: Stanislause Roy alias Murphy, Patrick Clary, George W. Crage, and Frank Newton, condemned by Gen. Butler to suffer death for being concerned in the robbery of Mr. Weisshar's house, in Toulouse street, (already mentioned,) and as being of a gang that, under prefence of authority from Gen. Butler to search for arms, had committed numerous other robberies, were hanged this morning inside the Parish Prison. Roy and Clary were hanged together, and afterwards Crage and Newton.

due them utterly or they will absolutely overcome us. After sixteen months of war they are flushed with hope and confidence; but their purpose is no stronger now than ever. They have always meant conquest of the North. They hoped it would come by peaceable secession, and then a peaceable surrender of the North under the name of reconstruction. But they believe now that the same practical result can be achieved without separation. Affairs at New Orleans — the town BecomingToo Hot for Picayune. The last advices from New Orleans say an attack on Carrolton, five miles from that city, was daily expected. The old Confederate defensive works were being strengthened by the Federals to resist an attack. The guerrillas come daily to Algiers across the river from New Orleans. A Northern paper, of the 6th, says: Three days before the steamer left Gen. Butler dispatched a company of soldiers to make a reconnaissance beyond Algiers. The troops left early in the morning in the t

stroll in the second district, without seeing much that was cheerful in that once lively quarter.--"He missed," he says, "the flowers and the joyous sports of children, which used to make it so pleasant and attractive to the idle stroller." The Picayune man has found something and on the levee. He says: A walk on the leves, the grand quay, the grand reception, the great concentration, that was, of the citizens and inhabitants of nine-tenths of the commercial world, at this time presents behooved not the maids to waste their sweetness on those who have ignored every call of honor and duty and basely remained at home. That, as the brave were making sacrifices, the coward should be shown how the absent can be remembered. The Picayune describes the Union meeting of Saturday night as large and enthusiastic, but neglects to state the nature of the crowd. We who have no fear will state that it was composed of Yankees, Dutch and negroes, who applauded enthusiastically and apprec

their way across the lines.--The news they contain may be summarily stated as follows: The seizure, on the 6th, of a large lot of Navy revolvers at the coffee-house of Andrew Doyle, on the levee, and the arrest of Doyle and another man in consequence; the arrest of S. Harnett for having three sheets of paper with the song of "Stonewall Jackson's Way" printed and a ministure Confederate flag a blue flag with a single star, &c., painted on them a notice in the advertising columns of the Picayune that the funeral service of Major Anstole Plande Averno, killed at Shiloh, would be celebrated to-day (15th) at the Cathedral. Flour is $11.75 per barrel, and the weight of the twenty cent loaf is 45 ounces. Not a hundred bales of cotton are to be had in the New Orleans market at saving prices; about that number had been received last week, and commenting on the prospects for further receipts is pronounced useless.

eproduce these telegrams because versions of them are in the hands of speculators imposing upon the public; but we do not believe them. If they are true, all that can be gained by a repulse of the Union army is to prolong the struggle. The Picayune copies from the Delta, with this heading: "We have read the following note from General Butler:" "Editors Picayune--Gentlemen: There is in the city, and you have had in your office, an extra, which sets right all news from Richmond down to Union army is to prolong the struggle. The Picayune copies from the Delta, with this heading: "We have read the following note from General Butler:" "Editors Picayune--Gentlemen: There is in the city, and you have had in your office, an extra, which sets right all news from Richmond down to July 2d. Why desire to publish false intelligence, as is the reliable man's lies of June 30. Publish anything but the Richmond dispatches, and you may publish them if you will publish this note."

eded directly afterwards, whether because Gen. Boyle disapproved of his intermeddling, or for some other cause, does not appear. The extravagance of the Yankee contractors The New Orleans Picayune has the following, about as much, by-the-bye, as it dare say, about the extravagance at the North during the war. It is not altogether confined to the North. At the South we can discern the under crust rapidly hopping to the surface, laden with native vulgarity and acquired plunder.-- The Picayune says: Nearly all the lately received Northern papers contain the following: "Two daughters of John Bell, of Tenn, in Philadelphia, express themselves amazed at the indications of abundance and prosperity every where evident." The paragraph seems to be very popular, for it is going the rounds of the entire press. --Its presumed object is to make manifest the intense astonishment of two young ladies suddenly called upon the contrast the (reported) impoverished condition of the

ing the trade on the Mississippi. According to this steamboats will be convoyed from Cairo to Vicksburg, and from the latter place "a sufficient force will start every Monday to escort them to New Orleans." A fleet of steamers is, therefore, looked for at the latter city every Wednesday. The Era has a long article on the health of the city. From this we infer that there is no yellow fever, which is attributed to quarantine and other sanitary means. We copy the following from the Picayune: The steamer Continental, Captain Yore, arrived at the landing yesterday morning, direct from St. Louis, with two barges in tow, and a cargo of oats, hay, &c., for the Commissary Department. After landing a portion at Vicksburg she brought the balance to this port, viz: 5,020 sacks of oats and 4,604 bales of hay.--The Continental received on board at Vicksburg some 600 Confederate prisoners, sick and wounded, who are destined for Mobile. Among the officers are the following, of Major
