use, about twelve hundred yards distant. Our artillery on the left opened fire gallantly, but were unable to cope with the superior guns of the enemy and forced to retire. The 2d Louisiana, with the 15th North Carolina on their left, and the 24th Georgia and 12th Virginia on their right, were ordered to charge, over 1,200 yards, swept by shell and canister, grape and Minnie. As the order was given the brave Colonel of the 2d rode along the lines of his regiment, and bade the boys "Remember Butler and their homes." With one cheer they bounded forward, and from the moment they left their position until they were ordered to retreat, noble men dropped from the ranks, second by second, victims of that murderous fire. The right of the regiment was somewhat delayed in passing the rolling ground of the field, which lay directly in their line of march; but the distance was made up in good order. At length a position was reached about 150 yards from the opposing batteries, the 15th North Car

seen, and this is planted for home use. The conscript law was being fully enforced in Texas, and the Governor had summoned every man between 35 and 45 to organize for the defence of the State. An order had been extended for every family to leave Galveston, it having been determined, as in the case of Vicksburg, to defend it to the last.--This order had been complied with except by some seven families. The parties being suspected, their houses were searched, when the Stars and Stripes were discovered, intended to be hung out should the Federal take the city. All those guilty of this treason were taken out immediately and hung. Our informant tells a good joke played off by the newsboys upon Picayune Butles on his landing in New Orleans. They collected together and proceeded to the Levee, where Butler was to land. --As he stepped on shore, they shouted, in chorus, "Here's your extra Picayune." The boys had no papers with them, and the effect produced was irresistible.

; reports that the inhabitants continue to withhold from their new rulers all signs of respect, and are as ardent as ever in their sympathy for the cause of the South. Not more than 150 have manifested any submission to the Yankees, or returned to their loyalty to the "old flag." The consequence is, that the reins of government are more tightly drawn, and the iron heel of despotism leaves its imprint everywhere. The great Union celebration on the 4th of July was a Yankee affair throughout; and the car of liberty, of which the Norfolk paper gave such a glowing account, was chiefly occupied by "women of the town," (see Butler's vocabulary,) who represented the several States of the Union. The driver, whose magnificent performances entitled him to the hand of the "fairest lady" in the car, (as the same paper asserted,) was one of the most notorious rowdies in the city, and an early convert to Lincolnism. There are some 1,200 Federal troops in and about Norfolk, and 1,500 in Suffolk.

Suppressing the truth. The news of McClellan's rout has so effected the equanimity of the notorious Picayune Butler that he refuses to permit the publication of the Richmond dispatches, in the hope of deceiving the people of New Orleans, and his own hireling soldiery. Butler is the most detestable tool of the Lincoln despotism, and in his position as Major General has disgraced humanity to a greater degree than any man who ever held a commission. This last act of his is a petty meanness in perfect keeping with his mission to the South as an agent of the most corrupt and unprincipled Administration that has ever had an existence in this, or any other country.
