The Yankees in New Orleans Residences.

--A letter from New Orleans has the following:

‘ In what New Orleans lady's carriage does Mrs. Gen. Banks ride? Mrs. J Dick Hill's. What Southern gentleman's house has the Boston editor of the Era stolen, in which he lives, and utters these slanders against its owner? Mr. A D Keller's — Gen Banks lives in the mansion of Mr. Sheppard Brown, and Buller stole the sword of Gen. Twiggs, and the Yankee Congress legalized the theft by solemn statute. We wonder they had had not included in the act the household silver of General Twiggs, also grabbed by Butler. How well calculated are these deeds to make the Crescent people love the Yankees and adore the "Union" which they preach in accents so persuasive! Who can doubt the cheerful and "heart and soul" loyalty of the Louisianian to the Yankee despotism?
