But not so with the women of New Orleans. On the evening of the third day after our occupation of the city, the colonel of the Thirty-First MassachusetThere were no incendiary fires there, and, what was more wonderful, there was no assault with attempt to kill. The only crimes tried by the provost court were petty larcenies and assaults, and the city from Chalmette, its southern boundary, to Carrollton, its northern limit, was more safe by night or by day than any city in the United States at the present hour. After my return to the North, the case of the mate's wife was stated to me as one of destitution, and I directed that a sewing mach
