The New Orleans papers are filled with accounts of the returning warriors who are rapidly arriving in that city, on their way home. GENERAL WILLIAM 0. BUTLER (From the N. O. Delta, June 27th.) The Commander-in-chief of our army in Mex- ico, the gallant veteran, General William 0. Butler, arrived yesterday, in the steamer Fanny, and was received with a éalute from tho Battalion of Artil- dery. As soon as it was known that the Gener] ‘was ready to reesive his friends, a crowd of our eitizens tly poured into tle parlor of the St. ‘Charles Hotel, w greet welcome the universal, admired chief, whose name and reputation are associ- ated with the glorious deeds that have rendered our ‘eity immortal.

Gen Butler stands erect and it; his head being thrown back ‘with a bold and candid expression. His eye is keen and very bright. but with its daring there is mingled a mildand benevolent expression, indicative of the kind and tender, as well as the firm and intrepid. character ofthe man. The of the General is that of a tleman of military precision and bearing, softened and modified by that ease and polish which much in- tercourse with the world and « cultivation of all the duties of hospitality are calculated to impart. There 4s an off-hondedners and readiness in the Goncral’s re- sponses to the welcomes and compliments of his friends, which «re very impressive and i joasing. * * * Preparations, we understand, are making to give Gen, Butler a publie welcome during his stay in this city. He will remain for about two weeks. General Butler is very popular among our citizens, and we trust his rojourn here may be rendered pleasant and agreeable. THE HON. AMBROSE I. SEVIER. [{Frem the N. O. Picayune, June 27.) The Hon. Mr. Sevier, one of the commissioners ap- inted for the consummation of the oe with Mex- 0, arrived in company with General Butler, bearing with him the ratified treaty. He, too, was warmly wel- omed.

The friends of Gén, Taylor intend to hold a sort of affumation meeting in this town on the 8th of July next. It will be a gathering ofhis neighbors, who have known hinrpersonally for more than # quarter of 2 cen- tury, It is a source of exultation that the admirers of General Toylor have increas for their senti- ments of love, just in proportion as they become inti mately acquainted with the whoie of his life. In the often attractive and always showy duties of war, they and the world are conversant with his courage and his magnanimity. The well-fought flelds of the West, of Florida, end of Mexico, exhibit him es a soldier per- very duty perfectly, and yet sanctifying his conduct by mercy and by every other humane act springing fiom a pure and benevolent heart. In the ns of private life, around which is drawn the veil edseclusion, Gen.

He acts the language of Emerson, who rays :—“Let not the empbasis of ; hospitality lie in’ bed and board, but let truth and love and honor and courtesy, flow in all thy deeds,”— it mny appear, the soul-killing influence of partiennship has. on more than one occasion, caused General Taylor's kindness of heart to be abused. The midnight thief who could take advantage of an open window or broken shutter in Gen, Taylor’s house to steal a few spoons. would stand deservedly execrated ; butthat man who enters it with the smile ofa friend in his fwce. and the honeyed words of love on his lips, merely to misrepresent and vilify when he goes away, stands self-convicted of conduct which makes tl spoon thief sublimely virtuous by comparison.
