Rapid Degeneration of the People of the Extreme
South.
From the New lark HeraU.
The general has been "down among the dead
men", to-day, and has caused an awful ratling
among the " dry bones." He had hardly fin
ished with Mrs. Phillips, when, by his order,
a German, ntmed Fidel Keller, was brought
before him, charged with bringing the United
States authorities into contempi, and desecra
ting the names of the heroic dead, by exhibit'
ing to the gaee of the rude and heartless the
skeleton of a human beiug, which he bad
labelled 44 Chickahominy," and had intimated
that it was all that was left of a "Yankee
soldier" slain at that battle., Keller claimed
that he had committed the act through ignor
ance, and I am inclined to think that he told
tbe truth j but the crime was so repugnant to
every leelicg of decency 4bat to save the peo
ple) from degenerating into semi-barbarism it
was necessary to punish the offense with no
little severity. He was therefore sentenced to
two years' hard labor at ship Island. When
this case was finished a similar one was ready,
A Mr. J. VV . Andrews, a member cf the .Lou
isiana Club, was convicted of having worn a
cross which he asserted was made from tbe
thigh bote of a Yankee soldier. For this he
was sentenced to the eame penalty as Keller.
The annexed orders are a good expression of
Oen, Butler's feelings on acts so subversive of
Christianity and humanity as the above :
. Special Orders No. 191.
XIKA.IX as Dipt or thk Gclt,
June 10, 1862.
Fide1 Keller has been found exhibiting a
human skeleton in bis bookstore window, in a
public place, in this city, labelled "Chicka
homioy," in large letters, meaning and intend
ing thut the bones should be taken by the pop
ulace to bo the bones of a United t-tates sol
dier, slain in that battle, in order to bring the
authority of tbe L rated btates and our armies
into contempt, and lor taut purpose bad stated
to the passers-bv that the bones were those of
a Yankee soldier; whereas, in truth and fact,
they were the bones purchased some weeks
before of a Mexican consul, to whom they
were pledged by a medical student.
It is therefore orderea tnat lor this desecra
tion of the dead he be confined at Ship Island
for two years at hard labor, and that he be
allowed to communicate with no person on the
island except ifrs. Phillips, who has been sent
there for a like offense.
Any written message may be sent to him
through these headquarters.
Lpon this order being read to him, the said
Keiler requested that so much of it as associ
ated him with that woman might be recalled,
which request was theref'.re reduced to w riting
by him, as follows :
Nrw Orlxaxs, June 30, 1862.
Mr. Keller desires tht that part of the sen
tence which refers to the communication with
Mrs. Phillips be ttricken out, as he does ot
wish to communication with tne said Mrs.
Phillips. F. Kkllkb.
Witness, JJ. Waters.
Said request seeming to the commanding
general to be reasonable, so much of said order
is revoked, and tne remainder will be exe
cuted.

When the funeral procession passed her

offensive manner, un txen. tsuuer s return to
this city from Baton Rouge, learning of the
disgraceful proceedings the day before, he was

brought before him. Accompanied by her
husband she arrived about noon. Gen. But
ler asked her if it was true thai, she had be

Mrs. Phillips, wife of Philip Phillips, hav.
ing been once imprisoned lor ber traitorous
proclivities and acts at Washington, and re
leased by the clemeccy of the (jrovernment,
and having been found training her children
to spit upon o litcera of the U nited states, for
wnicn act of one of those children both her
husband and herself apologized and were a aia
forgiven, is now found on the balcony of her
house, during ths passage of the funeral pro-
ces.-aon of Lieut. Deri. ay, laughing and mock
ing at his remains,- and upon being inquired of
by the commanding General if this fact were
so, contemptuously replies, "I. was ia good
spirits to-day," It is, therefore, ordered that
she be not' 44 regarded and treated as a com
mon woman of whom no officer or soldier is
bound to take notice," but as an uncommon,
bad and dangerous woman, stirring up strife
and inciting to riot; and that, therefore, she
be confined at Ship Islaad, in tho Stale of
Mississippi, within proper limits (here till

kept in close confinement until removed to

Ber Costdact Before Gem. If atler. . -
! - While Gen. Butler was writing the above
I order Mrs. Phillips' conduct was remarkable,
. to use a mild term. She was so cool that I
' found it quite refreshing to sit in h r shade.
' Occasionally she would look at the General as
' j he was writing, and would break into a broad
1 smile of amused contempt, and affect to hido
it Demnd tne tan wnicn she swayed to and fro
as slowly and gracefully as she had ever done
in tbe old days when she presided in her talon
at Washington. Frequently she would raise
her glass to one eye and scan the objects around
the office. A notice on the door especially
attracted her attention, , and afforded her par
ticular amusement. . It read thus : "There is
no difference between a he and she adder, in
their venom." After she had been removed
from the office she sent back a request that she
might be exiled instead of being sent to Ship
Island. I have been in doubt ever since
whether she intended this as a delicate satire
or was serious, it she was in earnest, I think
she will have no doubt about Ship Island being
a place of exile before she has been there
twenty-four hours. An' experience of two
months and a half there, when tho island was
crowded with troops and resounded with tbe
hum of busy toil, was sufficient to confound
St. Helena and tbe garden of Eden, in my
mind.
Mrs. Phillips is a rather fine looking wo
man, and was dressed very neatly in white
tnrougtiout.
Butler 'Catechizing Consuls Jwt grounds of
Suspicion against Mejan Whipping the gen
tleman in Black around a cut tree..
It will be remembered that at the time of
the seizure of specie at the Consulate of Neth
erlands, the office of Count Mejan, tbe French
Consul, was held in possession for a few hours
by General Butler, but upon Mejan giving his
word of honor that he had no money in his
place that had the slightest connection with
the interests of the Southern Confederacy, the
guard was withdrawn. Within a few days
General Butler has obtained evidence that
there were three quarters of a million of spe
cie in the i rench Consulate, which was prob
ably deposited there for secretion by the Citi
zens Bank lust before the L mon fleet arrived
opposite the city.
Count Mejan and M. Dupassuer were sent
for to-day, and Mr. Dupassuer stated that in
the latter part of April M. Dunegre, President
of the Citizen Bank, asked him if be would
not like to buy some specie, giving in ex
change for it the di afU of Dupassuer & Co., on
x'aris. Dupassuer said -he would, and gave
Mr. Dunegre three drafts on Paris tot , three
quarters of a million, at five francs in the dol
lar. The specie was then conveyed at daylight
on Sunday, previous to the passage of the forts,
to tbe French Consulate. M. Dupassuer says
his reason for removing the money at so early
an hour was to prevent its being known by
evil disposed people in the city- He and the
Count Mejan both stated that yhej had never
been concerned ia the purchase or importation
of arms, and Me; an promised to send the Gen
eral a report of the case. . In the mealtime
both gentlemen tire pledged no;fc o allow tbe
money to be removed until the matter can be

March, 1861, a clerk in the Census Depart
ment at wasmngten, and that previous to the
inauguration of President Lincoln he had
been a member of an association in Washing

secessionists were also members, and the ob
ject of which was tbe assassination of Mr,
Lincoln on the day of his inauguration, he

Conspiracy to Assassvnai Oen. B. F. Butler.
The Evidence
I mentioned in a recent letter that four men
were under arrest for conspiring to assassinate
Gen. Butler."- Their names are Marquez, Jim
Brooks, Abadie and Boullosa. The following
affidavit of Kafael xulgaron, whom they at
tempted to entice into the plot, furnishes evi
dence of the plan and of the plotters. It is a
vague and unsatisfactory statement, owing
doubtless to Pulgaron's ignorance of the Eng
lish language. The General is not yet fully
decided what to do witn tne culprits :
Deposition of Rafael Pnjgaron.
In the city of New Orleans and on the 17th
day and moiith of June, 1862. beiore the Lieu
tenant of Police, Oscar Bertin Paulino Guizo-
net, appeared Rafael Pulgaron, a native of
Juanabacoa, Island of Cube, aged thirty years,
a citizen aad inhabitant of this city during
the last seven years. On being asked if he
knew why . he was arrested, answered, pre
sumed it was on account of a conversation he
had with officer Marquez, who invited him to
form part in a conspiracy the object of wbicn
was the assassination of Gen. But lor. On be
ing asked where and on what day the said
Marquez communicated this plot - to him, he
answered lh&t Tuesday of last week Marquez
met him between the vegetable market and
the French fish market, and taking h,m l y the
arm be invited him to join a company which
was about to be got up with a view to assassi
nate Gen. Butler, and that he replied he would
sever cease to be a Southern man, but would
never debase himself to kill any person, either
bic or small: that Mam uez continued Lis en
treaties, manifesting to him that as soon as he
would be initiated in tills association, he would
have money, and would never be in want of
one or two dollars every day. ., They would be
on horseback, armed with . guns, revolvers
and daggers, and at the appointed hour the
more fully, 44 You know that I have never un-
I dertaken anyth.ng yet without being success
t fuL I conduct all this, so do not be afraid.'
! Being asked if he did not hear other persons
express the same sentiments as Boullosa and
Marquez, he said no. Being asked if he did
not obtain more information from the said
Marquez and Boullosa, he answered "That
Boullosa, in order tr keep the matter secret,
told him not to speek to any other person
about tbe plot; that they would recruit the
men suitable to carry out their plan, and ad
vised the accused not to mention anything to
St. John Dueoing; that they knew Ducoing
to be a chivalrous man, but that he refused to
associate himself in their conspiracy. Being
asked if, on the advice of Boullosa, he had
communicated this to Ducoing, he replied no.
Being asked if he knW the place where the
conspirators assembled, be said he did not
know, but their meetings were on St. Peter's
street, on the Congo t quire, or in the same
street on Jackson square. The Lieutenant
having properly distributed his police to de
tect the conspirators, they discontinued until
some future time. The accused said he had to
explain himself more minutely for the reasons
which induced Marquez to arrest him. The
accused thinks that Marquez, being dissatisfied
with the answer he had given him ic the
morning, wanted to vindicate himself, and
seized the apportunity,one night, when the ac
cused was under the' influence of liq"or, to
have him arrested ; that Marquez passed on
one side and a night policemaa on the other,
whom he supposed to be a Union man, and
whom he believed to be Gonzalez. Hearing
"Long live Beauregard," the accused was ac
costed by Gonzalez, who told him he had just
received an order to arrest him, and which
was done. The accused was then taken to the
second district police station. The accused
sa s he could not explain himself before the
Provost Marshal for ignorance of the English
language, but he had given cognizance of the
same to another person, who could at some
other day communicate it to whom proper.

Gen. Twiggs How his Property was Confis
cated Beatific Elevation intended by Butler
for Rtnegades to the Service Hour Twiggs
got away How Butler Disposed of the Move
ables.
Gen. Butler has seized the dwelling house
of the traitor Gen. Twiggs, Trytania street,and
is having it prepared for his occupation as a
residence. He has also confiscated all the other
property of Gen. Twiggs, and also that of Col.
A. C. Myers, the son-in-law of Twiggs.
Myers was an officer in the regular army of
the United States, and is now Quartermaster
General of the rebel army.
Gen. Butler says that for rebels upon
whom the government h.s no special claims
he has some consideration, but if he can ettch
one of those men who have been educated, fed
and clothed at the public expense men the
very meat on whose bones belongs to their
country he will hang them as high as Haman.
I hose laminar with the history ol Gen. Twiggs
will remember that after the war with Mexico
he was presented with three elegant swords
one by Congress, one by the State of Georgia
and one by citizens of Augusta, Georgia. I he
night of tbe 23d of April, lust before tbe fleet
passed tbe forts, Gen. Twiggs carried his
swords and his silver plate to the house of one
of the wtaltbiestand most aristocratic families
in the city, and, as the membets of the family
say, presented them to one of their number.
Mrs. UoL Myers also sent ber plate ami jewelry
to the same house. Tbe next day she and Gen.
Twiggs fled from New Orleans. Gen. Butler
learning tbe werea bouts of tbe above property,
instructed CoL French, Provost Marshal, to
have the house searched. The Colonel de
tailed Lieut Thomas Burt, one f his most
polite and efficient assistants, for the delicate
duty. Lieut. Burt performed this service very
carefully last Wednesday evening, and the
next merniug the swords and all the silver
were brought into Gen. Butler's headquarters.
The swords are very beautiful and of superb
workmanship. I hey will be sent to Washing
ton by the United States army dispatch
steamer McClellac. It seems to me that Con
gress could not show its appreciation of Gen.
Butler s distinguished services since tne very
commencement of this war than by presenting
him one of these swords.

Groat Snfferlng Among tho Poor.
The condition of the people of New Orleans
is terrible. The suffering among the poor for
the want of provisions amounts almost to a
famine. The subject has become so important
and the want so pressing that Gen. Butler has
resolved on a plan which will give at least
temporary relief, and is at once creditable to
his head and heart. He has directed CoL Tur
ner, chief commissary, to distribute gratuitous
ly a large amount of flour and other provisions
from the commissary department, and intends
to make the property of secessionists actively
engaged in the war repay the government for
tbe outlay. , w e are now more man ever anx

Memorial.
To His Excellency Abraham Lincoln, President
of the United States:
The Undersigned, citizens of Louisiana, in
behalf of themselves and others, respectfully
present this, their memorial: .
"Whereas, the administration of Major
General B. F. Butler, commanding the De
partment of the Gulf, and de facto Military
Goverror of Louisiana, has been in our opin
ion eminently proper and effective; he has
evoked order out of atiarchy ; he has secured
the safety of person and property where mob
violence and vandalism lately bore undisputed
sway; he has saved our citizen from threat
ened starvation, and disenthraled them from
the terrible insanity of secession end treason ;
and whereas, we learn that efforts are being
made to induce your Excellency to appoint
some other person as Governor of this State :
Therefore, your memorialists, impelled by
deep anxiety that our beloved State may
speedily assume and hereaf-r persistently
maintain the condition of a loyal and peaceful
member of the Union, respectfully beg leave
to ask that for some time to come your Excel
jency win make no such appointment, unless
the i,a:e be conferred on Major-General B. F.
Butler. We venture to hope that, if it be
thought needful, your Excellency will clothe
him with additional powers, to complete tbe
patriotic work which he has in so masterly a
manner begun, and with such good results,
thus far carried on.

Washisgtos, July 9. A little light ia
breaking ia upon what has been dark, con

the maxim, it is required that every one should

a certain responsibility for the late disaster to

Secretary Stanton, really rests upon other
shoulders.
It has some to be known that on the Sunday

ti.onu, that is, j ane 22d, an order was issued
by the War Department to Gen. McDowell to
advance his army (of about 40,000 men) from
Fredericksburg to the right wing of the army
of McClellan, and co-operate with that wing
in the then projected attack upon the enemy,
and acsault upon Richmond. How timefv
was this order, and how effective its execution
would have proved, is no w re xt ob v ious. The
force of McDowell would thus have arrived at
McClellan's right the evening Drecedin? the
first rebel assault. The flank movement which
lost our army so much, would thus have been
met by a foice that would have entrapped and
conquered the enemy, and opened up the way
successfully for the march on to, and the cap
ture vi, tkicnmona. un, bow unceasing must
be the regrets that this was not done that the
oraer referred to was not carried out I And
why was it not ? That the fault is not that of
Secretary Stanton, deserves to be first said.
The President Countermands the Order.
Tae wiles of the wilv doubtless beclouded
his understanding: his fears, appealed to. were
stirred in respect to the safety of Washington, "
mo forces at .Fredericksburg being removed,
and thus the unwise, and, as it has resulted,
most disastrous interference, came about.
Who could imagine that anv iournal even
the Express would publish alter this another
letter from Washington of earlier date, in
which it is boldly asserted that
1N0 new army will be successfully raised
to advance over the graves of that buried, to
Richmond, with Mr. Stanton at the hed, as
at present. No more fathers, brothers, or
sons are to be entrusted by a loyal people to
his sacrificing policy. He must give way, to
insure 300,000 men, called for by the Presi
dent, being raised. His mistakes in the past
will prevent confidence in him at to the
future." '
Surely,' there should be some limit, some
check, to assaults like this, when already con
fessed to be false, when thev are so directed aa
to paralyze recruiting, and thus surrender the
.Nation into the hands of the traitors. We
submit that they are as flagrantly at war with
loyalty as with truth.' ;

The Border Stat Hen and the Presi-
at'i - Compensated Emsaclpatlsn
Washington, July 14. Senatois and Rep
resentatives from the border slave States, after
their interview with the President on Satur
day, were, at their request, furnished by him
with propositions in writing upon the subject
of emancipation, in accordance with the sug
gestions heretofore officially communicated to
Uongiess.
una propositions have been rererrea to a
committee to frame a reply, which will be con
sidered at an adjourned meeting of these gen
tlemen.
Tho President's Compensated Emanci
pation Scheme Uenerals Pope and
Jackson The West Virginia Condi
tional Admission. ". -
Washington, July 15. It is ascertained
that no less than twelve of the Border States
Congressmen are favorably disposed towards
President Lincoln s scheme of compensated
emancipation. The whole number of members
from those States is thirty. Of theTienators,
there is not one who favors it, uuless it be Wil-
ley, of Virginia.
The irn foundry at .Fredericksburg is now
running actively on work for the Federal Gov
ernment. .. .. . :-
Rumors are current at Fredericksburg, of a
probable advance by Jackson to attack Mc
Dowell s army. '
Military judges bere say it will be a nne
sight to see Jackson and Pope fairly pitted
against each other. . Both Uenerals have a
great reputation for somewhat similar qualities
energy, fertility of resource, and a certain
audacity, entering largely into tbe comp:ition
of each. ..... .v , .--"'.
Tbe National Republican expresses its opin
ion that Congress has already gone far enough
towards accepting the 1" resident s emancipation
policy, and that the whole measure had better
go over to another session. - Whether this
means that emancipation is already getting
along fast enough without the expense of com
pensation, readers can judge. Certain it is,
that slaves in the Border States are melting
away, and if their owners were half as sagaci
ous as Abraham Lincoln, they would hurry up
their representatives to realize on the remain
der. But none are so blind as those who will
no; see, '
Contrary to the general expectation, West
Virginia admission was not reached in the
House to-doy, but the prolongation of the ses
sion will, it is thought, insure its passage.

Impending Veto of the Conflicatlon Bill.

Abolishing tho mileage System.
Washington, July 15. The news of the
impending veto of -the confiscation bill creates
great discussion to night. ' All the conserva
tives are inexstacies, while the earut friends
of a thorough and rigorous war policy are
chagrined. If the tender-footed "policy in
council were made up by incread vigor in
the field, the country would have little reason
to com plain.- Many who voted for confisca
tion state that they did it rather as an earnest
of what should be done to the rebels, tliau as
promising any practical blow at the rebellion.
The House exercised an extraordinary two
of cheap magnanimity to-day, in abolishing
tne mileage system, root and branch, by an
enormous vote. They knew it wouli be nnt
safely to sleep ia the Senate. Sigma.
Senator Wright, of Indiana. Vindicate
tho Memory of Aionglas.
Washington, July 15. Powell, of Ken
tucky, made a rankling speech to day, in the
course of which he quoted Douglas as opposed
to coercion. This brought out Wright, of In
diana, who declared that he would permit no
man to slander that ereat mans mnmorv.
without telling them that Douerlas' heart
and soul were for the war. Doutlaa had
declared at Indianapolis, on the first call of
the President far volunteers, that the onlv
mistake was in not calling for double the num
ber of troops. Douglas was for war sham and
severe, which aljne could make it a short one.

I have just received a telegraphic dispatch
from tho War Department, in wh:ch I am

the United States service, for three years or
during the war, four regiments of volunteer
infantry, being a part of the quota of the State
under the call of the President. .
As only a part of the quota is now called
for, it is important that those who are anxious
to serve their country should at once avail
themselves of the present opportunity and
press into the regiments now authorized to be
raised, lest the remainder oi tae quota snouia
not be required. !: ; j -.: .-ivf i

Lsrr the Authorities Investigate. We
have been informed by a citizen of this city
who has been spending a few days in Mobile,
that a brig which was stranded in that harbor
after having run the gauntlet of the Federal '
blockade, was sacrificed to the avarice of spec
ulators who took the risk. It appears that she
was brought Pih the city and laden with
arms, ammunition, coffee and salt, and that
when she was stranded, a few men were sent
with a tug to discharge her. Some of the salt
and coffee, which brings the largest profits,
was first taken out of it and saved, but there
coming up a pretty stiff b.eeze the brig was
abandoned, worked herseif off the bar and
floated, with all her arms and ammunition, to
the Federal fleet, while the tugboat returned
to the city Mississippian.
