General Butler's Hew Or lea a* Proclama
tion?The Financial and bnlaa
tlona In the South?Impending; Collapse
of (be Rebel Treasury.
General Butler's proclamation to the people
of New Orleans, which is before ov readers,
is the most comprehensive in its scope, the
most precise in its details, the moot emphatic
in its requisitions, and the most generous in its
concessions, of all the documents of the kind
which have emanated from our victorious
military leaders. After informing the people
ooacerned that he comes among tbein 44 to
restore order, maintain public tranquillity, and
enforce-peace and quiet under the laws and
constitution of the United States," General
Butler announces tie city under martial law,
and specifies his term?, to which tho submission
of the people will be required; and for this
submission to the authority of the "old flaj"
he offers them the full equivalent of the pro
tection of their persons, their business pursuits
and tleir property of all descriptions. But he
will have no trifling, no nonsense, no insolent
displays of rebel sympathies or emblems?
n >th ng but the flag and the supreme authority
of the United States.
But, while thus pointed and positive In his
requirements upon the citizens of the great
city recovered by force of arras from the dead
ly gripe of this wicked rebellion, General But
ler is equally emphatic in his measures of pro
tection. He ia not only just, but, libs a true
soldier of the Union, he is humane and mag
nanimous. Under the laws of the United'States
snch rebel shinptostera as " Confederate States
T?easury notes" are good for nothing except as
evidences of treason. So far as mere jn-doe
iB concerned, Geaeral Butler might cause every
individual within bis reach to be arrested* and
punished if detectal in offering or Teceivimras
inoney sa'd rebel Treasury notes. But beany"
that H has been represented to him " by the
oivil authorities that these Confederate notes,
in the form of bank note*, in a great i.if .v
.tttre are the only substitutes for money whi- h
Srepeople have been allowed to have-, aud tlkrt
groat distress would follow among- the poorer
c-ttwes if tho circul ~?ion of such notes shotriii
b?- at <mee) suppre*?ed and thsrefore, until
otherwise ordered, ke- will permit the circirl?
tit.aof said notes azuuag the people of New
(hteanst
It'is to be hoped that these pewple, accordr
ingty^ availing themselves of this gene-ous coo
ceaiiea. will get taeir Confederate Treasury
trasfci-oflT their hands-, for what it will fetch, as
fast as possible; for. within the nest sixty, forty
or tJventy days, sue'* trash will probably Dot
coresitiwd five cent> on tho dollcc in any huh
or cornor of the Sotife Tho people of Rfau
mord, taking time by the forelock, are, it ajv
)>earftr exchanging as fast as they aan their ( -n
federate paper for Riehmend city money, in iie
abscise of anything better; and this is the ?w*
giitaiQg of a "ConfoATate'' financial revuls.uu.
which, perhaps, before the end e?en of tbe pre
sent-month of May, may bring the rebe' "rea
tury.pa^er to a sweeping South Sea bi.jfele
explosion all oves?tbe South. After our oec*
paiian of such Southern linancial and cot jaer
cial. wntres as iJashville, New Orleans- and
Neflo4k, our occupation of the "Confederate
capital" of Richmond will, financially, be apt
ttvaettle the whele question, ic-the general re
pudiation throughout the Scath of their Con
fadwtte Treasury paper. Surely, with the
rebel government put to flight, its promises to
pay will follow It. and spaedily bui/it in a
freat heap of- its exploded swindling shin
asters.
Thus, within forty or twenty days- from our
occupation cf Richmond, klie deluded people
of our rebellious 8tatee> in addiion to all
their otbec losses, privations, sufferings and
m'sfortuttea from this rebellion* will pro
bably fiud then selves visited wkh the dead
lo-ss of perhaps not less ttun two hua- j
dred millions of dollars in Confederate Treasury
notes,, and with nothing to vouch for this payor
but the ghost of a spurious gorernmsnt de
stroyed, or a conspiracy of Jeremy Diddlers
flying for their lives as fugitives from justice.
We ennnot avoid the conclusion that this
Impending rebel financial revulsion in the
South will thoroughly curs our suffering South
era people of their devotion to Jeff. Duvis and
his confederates. To save themselves, the
people involved in these toils of their rebel
.government have been struggling desperately
to maintain it. But this financial explosion ii
upon them, and we dare say that soon after the
lo?s of Richmond will come the grand oollapse
of the rebel treasury, and the spurious substi
tutes for money by which the armies of Davis
have thus far been raised, equipped and sus
tained.
Our reocoupation of Southern States and
cities has not ee yet been marked by any
very enthusiastic Southern popular manifesta
tions in behalf of the Union. But with Davie
expelled, and with Johnston ranted from Rich
mond and Be?uregnrd from Corintj, all Honth*
era doubts as to the permanency of our sno
cesw s will be at an snd, and then we shall see
a Southern reaction for the " old flag" as gene
ral and pervading as tbe decline and repudia
tion of confederate paper money. When our
troops enter*! Jacksonville, Florida, they
were bailed ae deliverers by the peo
ple of the town; but when the
place was loft again to the mercy of a rebel
soldiery those Union citizens w?re compelled
to fly, or suffer tbe most cruel punishments,
f^et the Southern people elsewhere be made to
feel abeolutely secure against any possibility of
? return of their rebel soldiers, end we shell
?oon realize the existence of a powerful Uoioa
party, from Richmond to New Orleans.
Meantime, the proclamation of President Lia
coln, reopening to trade, under certain limita
tions, the ports of Beaufort, N. C.; Port Royal,
8. C., and New Orlenns, mark* but the begin- l
ning of thoM* approfccldng measures of relief for j
the South which cannot fail to awaken, among
the people of that bection, a general tense of
disgust fur the horrible imposture of their
Southern confederacy, contrasted with the sub
stantial gloried, securities and blc&aings of the
Union.
Foreign Intervention Again ox thw Tato.?
The Paris correspondent of the Independence
Beige states that a secret treaty has been en
tered into between France and England to put
a stop to the civM war in America. One of the
conditions is that the South shall consent to tbo
emancipation of iP? slave population. IIo ad
that another treaty hss been eonclu led between
France and Spain, by which the latter govern
ment undertakes to abolish slavery in Cuba.
The l i ltmn'lnnce ? a journal that is geae
rallv well informed in regard to the secret
political movements of the European courts,
and we sha'l not, therefore, take upon our
selves to assert that there is no founda
tion for these statements. Whatever, how
ever. may be the schemes agitated between
England and France i* reference to this
country, the campaign has now arrived at
a stage which leaves no pretext for foreign
interference. With all the ports of the
South in our possession, or so invested that
their capture is only a question of a few
wireks, no legal loophole is le't to> justify
such a proceeding. Supposing the idea to
have been seriously entertained, the news of
the capture of New Orleans aad of the evacua.
tion of Yorktown and Norfolk will, we ima
gine, cant a damper upon tt. The liberation of
our nary from its present blockading duties
will not only ler?<ve it free to pay its compli
ments to rtny foreign force that may visit us
with a hostile intent, but also to threaten the
North Amorican and West Indian possessions
of England. Wc hardly think that the latter
Power will, from a mere spirit of hostility to
our institutions, venture to inc^tr such vfaks.
As to France, after the affair of 3lexico, it is of
course diiltcult to speculate on its course.- It
would be curious if the statement that it was
intended it> require- of tho South to emancipate
its staves should turn out to be correct After
making var for tie perpetuation of slavery,
this would be a hard dose for it t?- swallow as
a conditio* of peace.
Ciriocs T)hvelopj?bnt in Rsuoiox inn
Pounos.?It is the custom of all tbo Protestant
churches, except the Episcopal, t>give certifi
cates to members wbo, been use removing to
other localities, o?- from different-causes, any
desire to join other churches. It appears that, in
t' e c??e c? persons desirous to join the churcijes
of Heury Ward BeeoheT and Dr. Choever, seve.nl
of the clergy in Now York and Brooklyn refuse
to issue such certificates, on th*groucd that
such men are not .rue Christians, that they cm
fanatical semi-infidels of the Salar.io school, r?
pudiatin^Jthe authority of the Bible, and tfcni
by their seditious course they Lave brought
terrible calamity oa>tbe country.
This L?> a very healthy senttevnt?it is the
common .vment of* a great revelation at the
North. The presant resentment is as nothing
compared to wha:,-will be developed hereafter.
We arc now engaeed in putting down the
rebel t at the Sewtb. When that is accont
plished?and noting delays it L?t the Satanic
attitude of the a.aaliHonists?then we will put
down tie abolitius rebels of tho-North, so t Jat
the ca.?e of all rtrtnre rebellion shall be extfn
guislit d. We will put thenfc down in the
churc j. on the streets, at the poll*. in the count
ing h-Ntse, and wherever we meet them. They
will Je shunned) as moral, soaial and political
le| era, who liswe brought rulfron the country,
and must atone for their crimes by seclusion
froL? society. Snch men as Beecher, Cbeever,
Greeley, Pbiiltps, Garrison, and all who aid
theik diabolical designs, will*be sent to Coven
try, like the murderer Cain* upon whom, it js
srid, God put a mark, that won should avoid
Una.
Tins Hkh*m> and Pukskntatioss op Rebel
YIaob.?Seme time a^o the editor of the Herald
Deceived a.sebel lia'jr. captured at Fort Douel
sou by Cciooel Morgan L. .Smith, with a request
that it should be presented to the city of New
York. The presentation was made through
Mayor Gpdyke, and the reception of the (lag
was acknowledged by resolutions of thanks
from the Boards of Aldermen and Cooocilmen.
Last evening another incident of the same cha
racter occurred. We received from Colonel
(now General) Logan an elegant flag taken at
Fort Donelson from an Irish regiment which
had been seduced into the rebel service, and i>
now imprisoned at Chicago, under the superin
tendence of Colonel Mulligan, of Lexington
fame. This flag Colonel Logan desired that we
should present to the Sixty-ninth regiment of
this eity, and the ceremony, which is fully re
ported In our columns, took place at the armory
of that regiment, Essex Market Hal), last even
ing. For a description of the flog, a narrative,
from onr own correspondent of the circum
stances attending Its capture, and a sketch of

Agree*ntgtlce Mtd adjournment, th? conserva
tive members of Congress met at eight o'clock this
evening, in thoUallof tho House.
Mr. Crittenden toe* the shair and Mr. Cox resumed his
place as secretary.
Mr. Richardson, of TlUnoie, said he thought the Meet
ing lant Saturday bad resulted in good. It had 00m
petled the radicals of the r?uee to lower their tone uad
modify thei.-tmisclilevous 'Vfisiattoe. We did not need
any more action with reference to that measure; nor ?hd
he tbiuk ws- needed any resolutions expreesivo of our
general objscta now. It would be well to meet again
whenever the obnoxious legislation was again thrn?t
into Congress with a view So similar action.
Mr. Kellt^ft, of Illinois, concurred In tbts Tiosr.
The action of tne last raeetlng was salutary. It
bad stoppo4 the pernicious legislation. U Mode
the radicate change tone and moderate their ex
tremism, lis thought whenever the HAine attempt was
the meeting should be agate summoned.
Mr. Blddle* of Pennsy Ivanis, exprecsed his regret that
absence froaa the city previnted his atteudauce at the
last meeting. He coucurred in Us notiist.
A motion was then made thu* Ibo Chtirman again call
us togethe- whenever In his ej>l?lon there arose the ne
cessity of defeating mischievous legislation like that at"
tern; ted by the Lovrjoy confederates.
The Clmirwan (Mr. Crittenden) sugge?ted that It
would bo better to have this duty of calling a m "Ui,g
devolved on a commitee. He said he could not always
tell what ?as b. ing dono, but a few active m"ir?iiers,
like the Secretary (Mr. Cox) ouuld perioim this duty
with mope satisfaction.
Mr. C>x rem tried that It was a mistake to tbtok the
obligations of the conservative men lied ceased. Their
duty wi* to be done as oft'-na? tho ab ?iltiouism of the
House showed its head. It ww t>ot dead yet. It would
only boowre eager to rocover Its loot grouud. At any
time,by an arrangement of the basinets with theHp>?Wer
and some republican members, whom he would not
name, some s*eepmg ple<#or legislatl >n Involving dis
aster to the nation would be pushed In and hurried
through before a meeting of the conservative wen could
be called. He would, theret re. suggest thit the com
rnlttee consist of Are, and not three, as s.igfivste 1, and
that their towers be s<> enlarged th?t they act at
onoe in the House and concert measures to oppose and
break down bad legislation. T: ey hiiould tfoe to it that
conservative members were h->re, that unity of faction
waa bad. and that thus *1 may do on an emergency what
the conservative members den ire.
Mr Steele, of New ler ey.m ved that the. committee
con* at of five, and that th-y have power V> call meet
ings and to manaee the opt<* Ulon In I'.ie Hous>.
Mr Msllory, of Kentnrky. a proved of Mr. Cox's Sug
gestions It was Indispensable to success that the com
m.t'ee should manage the matter at once 00 any emcr
gency and before the meeting should be ceJled.
Mr. Richardson expressed his assent.
The nioiion was put and t arriel.
Tbe Chalruian appointed M-rsrs. Richard**. Kel'ogg,
ntitdla Mailory at.d Cox th* eommittoe. Afterwa dn
Messrs! Sheffield, of *hede Island, and Steele, of New
Jers?v. were added V> the committee.
The Chairman hoped that some action wnnld be taken
lo hasten the attyvarnment of Congress, which was gene.
