MONDAY, DECEMBER 39,1882.
THE K2WS.
Our budget is of unusual interest this
morning. Gen. Banks has entered upon*
Ms work nt If ew Orleans.
The Pirate Seznznes has overhauled the
steamer Ariel, outward bound, aud taken
therefrom $12,000 in specie belonging to
Ms own friends. The steamier was releas--
ed under $238,000 bonds, payable when O.
S. A. is recognised, at which time the
Federal Government may as well be on the
look out for Semmes’ pile from this source.
It will be seen that th£ authorities at
Martmigue gave “aid and comfort” to the
pirate.
The rebel operations in Central and
‘Western Kentucky seem to be gaining
head and to threaten the communications
of Grant and Rosecrans, especially the
latter.
The raids of Forrest’s cavalry upon the
Mobile and Ohio road have been in a
measure arrested, and we hope to hear in
a few days that railroad communication
with Grant’s army is uninterrupted.
In our St Paul special dispatch will he
found an account of the hanging of thirty
eight of the thirty-nine condemned Tndfanci
at Mankato, Minn., on Friday last
Our dispatches from "Washington show
that Buma.de has yet an active enemy to
deal with, and our private advices give us
assurance that he wDI actively deal with
them. Another little surprise party took
place for our outposts on the Occoquan on
Saturday. •'
GEN. BANKS HEARD VBO3T.
The best preserved secret of the Govern- is
meat, since the war commenced, is out at n
last, and the first authentic Intelligence of ti
the destination of' Gen. Banks comes to h
hand in dispatches that announce him n
landed and at work. As we have more it
than once foreshadowed in these columns, ti
Gen. Banks takes the reins from Gen. But- u
ler, and with an army seventy thousand
strong mil carry on the work of restora
tion mid repossession on the firm founda
tion laid hy his predecessor in the
Gulf Department. He will cany
fire and sword through the Golf States,
and apply the heroic remedy to the mal- 1 g
ady of treason in that hot bed of the Slave
Power. Hever fear hut the army of the
Rappahannock will feel the “fire in the |
rear 11 when Gen. Banks carries the Presi- j *
dent’s Proclamation through the very \
heart of Secesaaa. By the first day of i (
TVTflrrlij Gen. Banks will have one hundred ■ ]
regiments of contrabands, armed and hid- • i
den to fight for thST S>6rty. The! ,
thorough work of this war is about to ; .
begin, and with this coming week. j .
XHE TTAS XN KENtFcKT. |
It is now three months since Rosecrans i
-went to Kashville. Not to speak lightly j
of the actual difficulties that have lain in
his Troy, we must say that we are reminded
of the farm laborer who called to his em
ployer to “fetch on your potatoes if you
want them dug.” There has heen allheral 1 ■
amount of calling for rebels to come to j
Nashville to he whipped, hut they have!
not come, and haying nothing to employ 1
them in front, seem disposed to |
. c onie xpwffi- to the. rear and. interfere-;
with Eosecrans’ - expensive hoarding j
establishment for Union troops who are i
destroying commissaiy stores and nothing ;
more. If this is not a picture, who will ■
paint a better, one ? If anything has heen j
gained in Tennessee, who win help ns to .
see it? It is not,that a fewscunying guer- j
ilia parlies are at their old work in Ken- .
tncky,hutthe evidences that are thicken
ing that the rebels are able to spare a large
force from the front to carry the war into
Kentucky. Eosecrans in Buell’s shoes has
done nothing, judged hy the President’s
confession of the people’s sole criterion—
“military success.” Under him the War in
Tennessee has again become the "War in
Kentucky. ■
GEN. BUTLEB.
With the opening of May a Federal
force, under the command of Gen. Butler,;
was in possession of New Orleans, to
which rebel stronghold the way was open-'
ed by the bombardment of the forts below, i
on April 28th, Gen. Butler found the city j
steeped to the eyes in the rebellion. To J
he an Unionist before his arrival was death,!
and for a time after his coming the only •
measure of the indignities heaped upon!
wearers of the Federal uniform, was the ‘
daring of the male and female traitors I
that flaunted and gloried in their
shame. Gen. Butler put an end to
this exhibition • with a promptness and '
rigor that spared neither class, nor rank, :
nor sex, from punishment adjusted to therr •
deserts. He purified the very atmosphere «
of New Orleans, andmade for the flag and (
symbols of the Union a silent reception \
where respect was denied. In all this he i
did not court the favor of the rebels, made .
no friends with them in junketings and j
festivities, held a firm military ran over -
that community, fed its poor, reopened the \
choked sluices of its prosperity, and sur-.
renders his post to a successor of similar I
views, who will carry on the work t
so well begun. For all this, Gen. Butler |
has the best of all testimonials to be paid !
such services—the wholesome dread of the
enemies of the country, the hatred of the
big and little tools of the rebellion, from
the home organs of Jeff. Davis to their
* faithful copyists—the Chicago Times, the
New York World, and a baker’s dozen of
lesser sheets busied in the purposes of the
traitors. Gen. Butleris on his way to New
T-oife. The country has other use for him.
It might he & good Idea to give him the
department of the North, aud let him fall
at work upon our own home traitors.
X WESLEY GREENE AGAIN.
There are evidences that the distinguish
ed emissary from Jeff. Davis to the Chica
go 2? mes has got hack to Richmond,
whither he probably took hack with him
the rough draft of the extraordinary docu
ment which now appears in our dispatches.
It sounds like J. Wesley Greene, and.it
reads indeed like Jeff. Davis, while those
who ate at all familiar with the style of the
secesh Times will confess the striking re-
semblance, nay, the very identity of the
points and arguments made to those that
i; pure and loyal sheet has not ceaded from
’ uttering these months past But, then,
these knaves are all busy at the same nc
ijiiions business, and a community of in
terest begets a family resemblance of ex
pression.
This Elimination against Butler la the
cur snapping at the heels of the retiring
lion. The knave knew that Banks has
succeeded Butler, and ibis small roar is
intended for empty air and nothing more.
7. As for Butler, let none of these traitors
deem that they have done .with him.
Every word'written of him by such traitor
ous sheets as the Times is another line
added to ins passport that be is doing his *
•doty in punishing the enemies of bis coun
try. Let none of these traitors believe
-that they are free from Butler, whom the
Times has called Haynau. Ifchenhe leaves
Eew Orleans it. will be for some other
place where traitors are to be seized with
a rough band. He maybe needed West,

West to East. The Times man may him
self see this Butter yet in judgment nj>on
his own foul case of treason.
' As for Jeff. Davis 1 proclamation, the
world will live to laugh .t ite impudence
and impotence what time the rebellion
shall bo numbered with unaccomplished
mimes against Humanity. It will stand
as a proof that Butler served his country
by using his strength against her enemies.
By tins he will be remembered when stick
in-tbe-mud generals are long forgotten.

Union, won by the guerdon of liberty, four j;u

The tory scheme of “ reconstruction of fi c
the Union ” with six “ New England States
left out in the cold ” means amply the an
i nexation of the West and three Eastern
States to the rebel confederacy; the substi-
| tution of the Montgomery for the Federal
Constitution; payment of the interest and e i
principal of the rebel debt, and repudiation oi
j of the Federal war- debt; pensioning of 3£
% \ wounded rebels and therelatives of killed tc
; ones; payment of all damages the slave- tc
| holders have sustained while engaged in J*
" j overthrowing the Union; extension of
M slavery into the free States and Territories;
> i restoration of slavery. in the Federal dis*
trict; re-enslavement of the escaped con- ti
I trabands; reopening of the African slave t"
! trade, and a full restoration to political
power of the rebel leaders. This is the f
“reconstruction of the Union” thatYal- s
landigham, Fernando Wood, the N. T. .
World, Cincinnati Enquirer and Chicago
Tima, and other Infamous tories of that r
•ilk, are striving to accomplish. This is j
the sort of “Union as it was and Constitu- <
lion as it is” they propose to “restore” -
We defy any one of them to point out any 1
stopping place short of what is here de- ■
scribed. No concessions or

questionable whether they would admit

i are six cavalry companies lying around loose
i but all serving in the West, these companies
| have just been assigned to and now constitute
a part of this regiment. They are as follows:
Capt Ford’s company of Ottawa, formerly at
tached to the 63d infantry; Capt. Willis’ for
merly Capt. Jcnks, and Capt. Shearer for
merly Capt Smith of Kane county,'and for
merly attached to the 86th inf in try. Capt.
Huntley of Winnebago county, Capt. Wilder,
Independent Kane county cavalry, and Capt
Gilbert of Elgin, and formerly attached to the
i 52dinfantry.
i The field and staff officers as appointed arc:
I Warren Stewart, CoL, rank Dec. 25,1562; G.

Dec. 25,1862. Capt Gilbert’s company was
nominally attached to the 12th cavalry, Col.
Yoss, but left for duty at Gen. Halleck’s
Headquarters in St Louis, and did not go East
when the 12th cavalry did, this company being
detached from the 12th cavalry and assigned
to the 15th, the McClellan dragoons, princi
pally from Chicago, two companies on the
Rappahannock have been assigned to the 12th.
This arrangement puts all Illinois cavalry
companies in regimental organization and it
is believed their own interests and the public
service will be promoted thereby.

[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
Cairo, Dec, 27,1382.
I have just seen two gentlemen who left
Jackson last Saturday, and have been since
then getting to Cairo. Two trains left Jack
son on Saturday, at 1 p. m., one carrying two
companies of the X26th Illinois and part of the
7th Tennessee, all under the command of Cob
Rodgers of the 7th Tennessee. The other was
a regular passenger train. They proceeded
up the road eighteen milesj and within three
miles of Humboldt, where they reached a
bridge guarded by two companies of the 106 th
Illinois, commanded by Capt. Hartz, about
120 men in all. They had been attacked hy
SGO rebel cavalry with two pieces of artillery,
and had held them at bay two hours. "When
the train came up, the rebels fired four or five
shots at it, two of strikiugthe locomotive, hut
hut not seriously injuring it. The men
on the train returned the fire and the rebels
fed. The train then hacked down to the first
station. There they found that two compa
nies of rebels, with one cannon, had tom up
the track, and burned a small bridge. The
train then went up to the firstbridge, took on
the two companies,- and by repairing two
bridges got through to Humboldt. The reb
els had already burned the station house and
other property. By Monday morning the
89th Ohio and one other regiment and a bat
tciy had arrived from Jackson there,and went
to work, andhy "Wednesday evening had re
paired the bridges to Trenton, so that the
train could pass over, Thursday. The rebels
destroyed two bridges and about two miles of
.trestle work on Obion River bottom. My in
formants saw about two rebel regiments at
tins work and came near being caught by
them.*’
In places the telegraph poles are cut down
for miles together, and wire , broken up. In
some places the rails have been piled on the
track and burned, thus bending and destroy
ing the iron rails. Our informant came from
three miles this side of Kenton, yesterday.
They saw no. rebels. Forrest’s headquarters
have been at Middlebarg, six miles east of
Crockett’sStation, for several days. He has
about 6,000 cavalry and no infantry, as has
bear reported. An officer came through to
day, who says trains ran from Jackson to
.Trenton, and that 7,000 troops are now at
'■TV(totOn. -' No arrival from Memphis. * —•

Columbus, Ky., who report that Jackson
has not been taken- Grand Junction also
-was Btill in Federal hands.
It is reported that Van Dom’s rebel com
mand bad come north of the Memphis and
Charleston railroad; also that Grant had fallen
back north of the Tallahatchie. I give this as
rtrraor only. ’ , _ ,
Van Dorn and his men have burned, it is
said, 3,000 bales of cotton, or nearly $1,500,-
000-worth. _
Forrest’s rebel force is 7,000 strong—s,ooo
cavalry and 2,i ! 00 mounted men. armed with
Colt’s revolving rifles. They have ten pieces
of artillery.
Instead of attacking Columbus it would ap
pear they Lave passed down behind Hickman.
A gunboat and two tnmsportsports went
down from Columbus to-day. After passing
Hickman tbe gunboat shelled the shore on
the Tennessee side, and it is reported here
that an order has been given to spike the guns
at Island No. 10, blow up_ the magazine and
evacuate the place. This is doubtful.
Caibo, Dec. 27.—From Dr. Reed, of St.
Louis, who has just reached this place from
Jackson, Tennessee, Xhave these particulars:
The rebel force is 0,000 strong under Forrest.
Cheatham is not with them, nor has he been.
The cavalry has ho infantry support.
A great many bridges have been destroyed,
but me greatest damage Is in the Obion river
bottom, where two long bridges have been
destroyed, and about two miler of trestle
work at Middleburg, four miles east of Crock
ett station.
Dr. Reed and three companions came from
three miles this side of Kenton Testerday,
and Saw no rebels. No recouuoissance has
yet been made from Columbus.
These desperadoes seem pretty much at

away. For the time being our forces seem

THE ARTRT. ARRIVES AT NEW
YORK.
Sa*’ FAaxcisco, 'Dec. 27.—The steamer
Constitution has arrived from Panama. She
reports that the steamship Ariel was captured
on the 7th by the Pirure Alabama, and
detained tall the 10th, when she was allowed
to proceed towards Aspinwall upon giving
bonds in tbe sum of £228,000. The arms and
ammunition were taken from 120 marines on
board, who were paroled.
There is anxiety here, lest the Ariel be cap*
tured on her return trip to New York, and
the treasure taken from. her. The Ariel’s
passengers spoke in high terms of the cour
tesy shown them by Scmmes.
The Ariel wae captured near the east end of
Cuba. The only plunder secured by the Ala
bama was SB,OOO in green backs, belonging to
"Wells, Fargo & Co. The Alabama last called
at Martinique. When leaving that port the
United States war steamer San Jacinto aimed
a gun at her, and simultaneously the fort in
the harbor trained tbeir guns on the San Ja
cinto. This is the statement of Scmmes.
The Lieutenant of the Alabama claims a speed
under twenty-five pounds of steam of sixteen
knots. She was overtaking the Ariel with
only eleven pounds of steam. She fired two
gunswhen the latter hove to.
Scmmes first intended burning the Ariel
and putting the passengers ashore at a little
settlement of huts ou San Domingo Island.
Capt. Jones protested against this, declaring
that half of the passengers would die In con
sequence. Scmmes then proposed to land
them at Kingston, but after much parleying
an arrangement was effected to release the
steamer on her giving bonds payable thirty
days after the acknowledgment of the inde
: pendencc of the Confederacy.
The ship Sea King which sailed fromhere for
Liverpool on the 9th of September, with a
cargo of wheat, was totally lost when ten
days out from port. . The captain and all
hands were lostcxceptthethirdmate who was
picked up by the bark Eugene and carried to
Peru, South America.
Panama, Dec. 15.—The steamship Ariel
reached Aspinwall on Friday night, the 10th
inst., having been overhauled by the Alabama
on the 7th inst., off Cuba, and taken to
Jamaica. The Ariel was detained for two and
a half days, and then releasad after her cap
tors had taken out $12,000 in specie, on
freight for Nicaragua, the property of two
Southern men, and some boots and shoes.
The officers of the Alabama also made
prisoners of and disarmed Capt. Sarteri, of
theU. S. N., who was coming out to take
command of thcCyanne; Capt. Garland, of
the Marine corps, en route for Mare Island,
Cal., and some other U. S. officers, and 130
marines, and after taking all their equipments,
including their side arms, released them on
parole.
It was at first contemplated by Semmes to
bum the Ariel, but iu consideration of the
number of helpless women and children
aboard, he allowed her to proceed.
It appears Semmes was looking out for the
steamer Champion, when he fell in with the
Ariel.. Before overtaking the Ariel, Capt.
Semmes fired a blank-cartTOge-at heivand af
terwards asbell, which struck her foremast,
nearly cutting it in two. :
The rainy season is pretty well over, and
tbe Panama Railroad is again in good order.
The French fleet has sailed for Mexico,
leaving here four American and two British
ships of war. At Aspinwall there is only the
disabled brig Bairibridge to protect American
interests.
New York. Dec. 2S.—The Ariel brought no
specie from AspinwaU. The steamer British
Queen arrived from Nassau the 23d and Ha
vana the 20th. Yenznela dates of the 22d
state that the insurrection there was about
ended. The insurgents evincing a desire for
reconciliation.
Pierre Soule was at Havana on the 20th.

RCTLER,
Philadeephia, Pa., December 27. —The
Press pubiahcs •what purports to
rebiliatory proclamation of JefC Darts. It is
over a column long. Gen. Bntler and all Ms
officers are to be hung, if taken. All soldiers
taken prisoners are to be paroled. Negroes
found with arms arc to be immediately hung.
Federal*officers found *with slaves are also to
be hung.
Darts declares Butler a felon, deserving
capital punishment, and orders that he no
longer be considered or treated as a public
enemy, but as an outlaw and a common ene
my of mankind, and when captured, the offi
cer capturing him, will instantly hang hint;'
Also, that no commissioned United States
officer taken shall be released on parole be
fore exchanged, until Butler shall have met
punishment for his crimes-, and that all com
missioned officers in the command of Butler
be declared not entitled to be considered as
soldiers engaged in honorable warfare, but
robbers ondTcriminals, deserving death, and
that each ol them, whenever captured, be re
served for execution.
The. proclamation is" dated Richmond, De
cember 23d.
New’ Yobs’. Dec. 27.—The following are
Darts’ allegations against General Butler:
Peaceful and aged citizens, unresisting cap
tives,and non-combatants, have been confined
at hard labor with chains attached to their
limbs, and are still so held in dungeons and
fortresses. Others have been submitted to a
like degrading punishment for selling medi
cine to sick soldiers of the Confederacy. Sol
diers of the United States have been invited
and encouraged in general orders to insult
and outrage the. wives, mothers and sisters of
our citizens. Helpless women have been
torn from their homes and subjected to soli
tary confinement, some in fortresses and
prisons, and one especially on. an Island of
barren sand, under a tropical sun, has been
fed with loathsome rations that had been
condemned as unfit for soldiers, and has
been exposed to the vilest insult.
Prisoners of war, who surrendered to the
naval forces of the United States, on
agreement that they should be released on
parole, have been seized and kept in close
confinement. Kepeated pretexts have been
sought or invented for plundering the inhabi
tvnts of the captured city, by fines levied and
collected under threat of imprisoning the re
cusants at hard labor, with ball and chain.-
: The entire population of New Orleans have
been forced to elect between starvation by
confiscation of all their property, and taking
an oath against their conscience to bear alle
giance to the invaders of their country.
Egress from the city has been refused to those
whose fortitude withstood the test,
and even to lone and aged women,
and to helpless 'children, and idler
being ejected from their homes and rob
bed-of their property, they have been left to
starve in the streets or subsist on charity.
Slaves have been driven from plantations in
the neighborhood of New Orleans, until their
owners would consent to share their crops
with the Commanding General, his brother,
Andrew J. Butler,'and other officers, and
when each consent had been extorted, slaves
have been restored to the plantations and there
compelled to work, under bayonets of the
{ .guard of United States soldiers. Where that
partnership -was - refused, armed expeditions
have been sent % > plantations to rob
them, of every tiling that was of
removal, and even slaves too agsd or infirm
for work, hare, in spite of their entreaties,

[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribnne.]
_ Cincinnati, Deb. 28,1862.
Matters in Kentucky are certainly ‘looking
serious, and fears are felt for the • safety of
Rosecrans’ army with regard to supplies.
Their stock of provisions was very low, and
the destruction ot the Nashville load de-
prives them of farther supplies, a&.fhe Cum
berland River is not yet navigable,*;-
Morgan has undoubtedly possession of Glas
gow and Cave city; with five regiments of
cavalry, in all about 3,000 men.,
Morgan met with no opposition at Cave
City; which is twelve miles fromjMnnfords-
ville. His men at once - commenced destrby-
log the railroad, and it la reported here that
they did so most effectually. Scouts from
Munfordsville arrived on Saturday.with infor-
matron -that Morgan was advancing on that
town with the intention of destroying the
railroad bridge across Green River.
Great excitement prevailed at Munfords-
ville, and active preparations arc making to
meet them.
ammunition, left Louisville on Saturday for
that x>olnt.
A scout who arrived tp-day from Danville,
reports that Gen. Baird’s division, with eight
regiments of infantry*, two of cavalry, and two
batteries, left there at 4 o’clock bn Saturday
morning, for a point ou the Louisville and
Nashville road, to intercept Morgan. A strong
force is left at and in the neighborhood of
Lexington.
It is Bald to he the intention enemy
to try to effect a imictionwitlujft enforces un-.
def Humphrey Marshall and wHo are
in Eastern Kentucky, not fir from. Mt. Ster
ling, for tbe purposn of occupying Leslug
ton, Paris, Frankiort, and tbe Blue Grass re
gion.
It is also said an attempt will be made to
' prevent the Kentucky Legislature from con
.vening at Frankfort, and to install tbe Pro
visional Governor Hawes who is to set up the
Government for the State as a member of the
Southern Confederacy.
Louisville papers of Saturday have particu
lars of skirmishes at Glasgow, Cave City, and
MunfordsTille.
It would be improper to state the delaUs
of movements and dispositions of our troops
to meet Morgan, but they are such as to effec
tually check and drive him back, We do not
look for his capture at Cincinnati.
The Chicago Times on Saturday stated that
the Republicans of Covington, Kentucky, had
appealed to Colonel Sipes, Military Com
niandant, to prevent the election of the
Democratic ticket on the ground of its being
secession. Colonel Sipes, in a card, that -will
be published to-morrow morning, says no re
quest was ever made of him to prevent any
: candidate from running. The report was evi
| dently put forth to pave the way for the cer
tain defeat that awits the Democratic ticket.
At opinion meeting in Covington on Satur
day evening Congressman Mcnzies, the Union'
member from that district, was very bitter on
the Administration, and said Kentucky had
nothing to hope froin it. That the mission of
Gov. Robinson and Adjutant General Finnell
to Washington to prevent the issue of the
emancipation proclamation was unsuccessful.
It is reported that Buckner, Speaker of the
House Representatives of Kentucky, had ad
dressed circulars to all the Representatives
asking their views on this proclamation, and
that he has received replies from over two
thirds, who oppose it, and it is claimed that
the Legislature will not recognize the procla
mation. I have this from a prominent Ken
tuckian who I have reason to believe repre
i eents Gov. Robinson’s views.
About 5 o’clock this , evening one or two
guns on the fortifications and on the gunboat
Indianola boomed forth, which crcateda good
deal of nneasines. Thousands flocked to the
newspaper offices and to the landing, suppos
ing the enemy were upon ns, but on the an
nouncement being made that the firing was to
raise a body drowned in the river the excite
ment subsided.
Louisville, Dec, 28.—John Morgan, with
2,800 men, attacked Lieut. Col. Smith at
Elizabethtown yesterday, commanding 250
men in a stockade. After a severe fight, our
our forces retreated to the Court House and a
building' near it. Losses arc not stated and
the result is not known. The city has been
intensely excited all day by multitudinous ru
mors of skirmishes in various proximate lo
calities. Headquarters, up to 11 p. m., is
wholly unadvised thereof and utterly dis
credits them. Reports from Memphis say
our pickets have been driven into the fortifi
cations. and that tha rebels have been com
mitting depredations there.'
Louisville, Dec. 27.—John Morgan, with
about 3,000 cavalry, entered Glasgow onWed
nesdav. Three companies of the 2d Mich,
cavalfv opposed him, but tell back on Mon
fordsviUe, losing one captain and two privates.
The rebels lost two captains, five privates and
seven prisoners. The rebels were reinforced
and remained in possession of Glasgow.
On Thursday Cols. Gray and Shanks attack
ed the rebels at Bear Wallow, Hart county,
near Cave City, the rebels having previously
damaged the railroad near Glasgow Junction.
At last accounts the Federals had driven off
the rebels, killing one and taking sixteen

Gen. Banks’ First Order.
New Toes, Dec. 38.—The Roanoke, from
New Oilcans on the 18th, via Havana on the
22d, has arrived.. The news is important.
The North Star, wlih Gen. Banks and staff,
arrived at New Qrieaus on the 14th, leaving
New.Tork oh the sth. The news. transpired
the following day that Gen. Btitler was super
seded and occasioned the utmost surprise
among all classes, even the registered enemies
were sorry to part with an officer who, at
least, brought order and security to the city.
On the 16th, Butler and Gen. Banks met at
headquarters. Gen. Butler welcomed Banks
to the Department of the Gulf, and assured
liim he would find here troops who werq
ready to yield cheerful obedience to every
order.
Gen. Banks.responded that the only plea
sure he had in taking the command was in
obeying an order of the Government or the
United States. Gen. Butler addressed his
stafi; requesting each member to-take pains
to enlighten and assist their successors. He
spoke in the most most generous manner of
Gen.' Banks and stall.
Gen. Butter’s parting address tothe troops
hears date of the 15th. Alluding in eloquent
terms to their successes In the field and in re
storing order and quiet to New Orleans, to
the feeding starving wives and children of the
enemies of the Union, stating that his expe
dition and command has cost the government
less hy four-fifths than any oiher —speaking of
the word ferewell as the only sorrowful
thought he had, and commending them to
their commander as worthy of his love.
On the 16tb, Gen. Banks issued his orderas- -
Burning the command of the Department of*
the Gulf and the State of Texas, and naming
his Staffs whose names are already known at
the North.
Another order is for all military and civil
officers in the department to report to him;
and still another, suspends all public sales of
property on account of the United States,
until further orders have been issued-
Gen. Butler, accompanied by Col. J. W.
Shaffer (of Freeport, DL,) CoL Turner (of
Chlfcgo,) Major Strong, Major Bell, Captain
Davis, Captain Kensel, and other members of
Lis Staff, was to'sail on rhe22dforNewTork >
Captain Clark was to remain on duty at New

Gen. Banks was pushing things with charac
teristic energy.
Ffty thousand troops who accompanied had
landed at Baton Bonge, and the remainder of
the expedition will be _sent forward as fast as
they arrive.
The -weather at New Orleans was fine and
the health of.~the troops good.
GEN. BANKS’ ORDER ASSUMING COMMAND
• Headquarters of the Got.?. )
' New' OitCEAiig, Dec. 16.15G2. f
- •In obedience-to orders from the President,
I have assumed command of the Department"
of the Gulf, to which is added, by his special
order, the State of Texas.
The duty with which I am charged, requires
me to assist in the restoration or the Govern
ment of the United States. It is my desire to
secure to the people of every class sdl the
privileges and possessions and enjoyments
which are consistent with public safety, and
which it is.possible for a beneficent and just
government to confer.
In the execution of the high trust with
which I am charged, I rely upon the co-opera
tion and counsel of all loyal and well-disposed
people, and upon the manifest interest of
those dependent upon the pursuits of peace,
as well as upon the support of naval and land
forces.
My instructions require me to treat as ene
mies those who are enemies, but I shall
gladlv regard as friends those who are friends.
No' restrictions will be placed upon the
freedom of individuals which are not impera
tively demanded by the considerations of pub
lic safety, but while their claims will be libe
rally considered, it is due also to tbem, to
state that all the rights* of the government
will be unflinchingly maintained. Respectful
consideration and prompt reparation will be
accorded to all persons who are wronged in
body or estate by those under my command.
The government does not profit by the pro
longation of civil contest or the private or
public sufferings which attend it. Its fruits
arc not equally distributed. In the disloyal
States, desolation has empire on the sea and
on the land.
In the North the war is an abiding sorrow,
but not yet a calamity. Its cities and towns
are increasing in population, wealth and pow
er. The refugees from the South alone com- •
pensate in great paat for the terrible decima
tions of battle. Thepcoplc of this department
who arc disposed to stake their fortunes and
their lives upon resistance to the government
may wisely reflect upon the immutable condi
tions which surround them. .
The Valley of the Mississippi is the chosen
seat of population, product and power on this
continent. In a few years twenty-five millions
ot people, unsurpassed in material, resources
and capacity for war, will swarm upon its fer
tile rivers.
Those who assume to set conditions upon the
exodus to the Gulf, count upon a power not given
toman. The country washed by the waters
of the Ohio, the Missouri and the Mississippi,
can never be permanently severed. If one
generation basely barters away its rights, im
mortal honor will rest upon another that re
deems them. Let it never be said, either,that
the East and West may be separated. Thirty
days’ distance from the markets of Europe
may satisfy the wants of Louisiana and Ar
kansas, but it will not answer fee demands
of Illinois and Ohio. The Volley of the Mis
sissippi will have its deltas upon the Atlantic.
The physical force of the West will debouch
upon its shores with a power as Irrisislible as
the torrents of its mighty rivers. .
Thu country cannot be permanently di
vided. Ceaseless wars may drain its blood
and treasure, domestic tyrants or foreign foes
may grasp tbe sceptre of its power, out its
destiny will remain unchanged. It will still
bennited. Godbas ordained it. What avails,
then, the destruction of the best government
ever devised by man, the self-adjusting, self
correcting constitution of the United States ?
People of the Southwest why not accept
the conditions imposed by the imperious ne
cessities of geographical configuration and
commercial supremacy, and re-establish your
ancient prosperity and renown. Why not be
come the founders of States which as the
entrepots and depots of your own central
and upper valleys may stand in the .affluence
of their resources without superiors and in
the privileges of the people without a peer
among the nations of the earth.
