THE ANTI-ABOLITION KXCITEMENT IN NEW ORLEANS. [From the New Ovteans Bee, Dec. 3.) The doings of the secret Vigilance Committee, the knowledge that they are actively but quietly investicat- ing the cases of certain suspicious lents in our inidst, and the belief that they will soon ferret out an organized gang of abolitionists and make public some astounding ai jures, are at present occupying every mind, almost to the exclusion of other public topics. citizens of New Orleans, almost to a man, have awakened from the lethargic indifference that has characterized our commu- nity Vut too long in regard to thia vitally imy sub. Jeet, and whieb was attributable, not so much to the en grosking demands of their business, or want of proper spirit, as to their compiete ignorance of the presenen of « number of fmatical or unprincipled men among them who have been writing fraudulent passes for slaves, en courag ing dissatisfaction among them and aiding them to esexpe to the North. All this indifference has passed away; the first law of natare, self-defence, has been adopted, and some of our best and most responsible citizens ng & movement that will not be impeded by “the law's delay," to rid our city of moral, if not ac. tual, incendiaries. We deem that we are violating no couddence in publishing this mueb, as the public #levald understand sufficiently of what is going on to lend their countenance and aid, if necessary. In our last issue we reported the application made by Wm, ¥. Harris for a writ of babeas corpus. It was re- turnable io the First Distriet Court at half-past ten o'clock Saturday morning, and the court room was crowd. ed on the orcasion. Une of the Sunday journals gives the following account of the proceedings.— Attorney General Semines being present, Judge Humt asked him to act in the prosecution of the matter. The Attorney said he had not had time to prey a written report, but would make a verbal one. Mayor Monroe, the Chief of Police, and Recorder Emerson were present. The Attorney General's report was bat the reading of the affidavit sworn to by the Chief of Police before Recorder Emerson, that the said William Harris, from tnforma- tion received, had violated the 26th section of the Black Code of the Statutes of Louisiana. The Attorney, General then read the section of the Code, and concluded by ware that that was his to the Court, Judge Hupt—Who makes the aflda@it? A\ Gone ral—The Chief of Police, your Honor, made am. davit. Col. Ficlé—I would state to the Court that the Mayor held my client (Harris), amd the only witnosa against bim was the testimony of one man heard him (Harris) say to a frieud—though he didn’t know if he was earnest—that if there had been a Linovin electoral ticket in the city he (Harris) would have voted it, and that there was another man in the city who would also have voter ir. Bidwell, said Col. Field, testified be- fore the Mayor that Harris and snother man once in bis ‘employ meni—Mr. B. being owner of the Academy of Music—desired to vote for Bell and Everett in this city, bot were prevented so doing by being non-registered. Recorder Emerson, called and sworn, testitied to the aMdayit against Harr! Ving been sworn out before him ut quarter to two o'clock yy. He dida’t issue a warrant for the arrest of Harri, but returned the affidavit to the Mayor, with a memorandum on the back. He did pot examine any witnesses, and there was no charge made on the record book — Varris, until six o'clock Friday evening. Mayor Monroe being calied and sworn, in answer to the Attorney General, said that Harris had bee arrest- ed by the Chief of Police, aided by himself. The arrest was made on the night of the 30th ultimo. tent morning had the aecused before me in my room, one wituess ; hat be heart Harria make the to- was examining the case, and asked if [would permit biro to act ag Harris’ counsel in the matter, T said I would be very happy, indeed, to have bia aa counsel for the ton, a8 T wanted everything done fairly and y.

The result of the interview Saturday night was, that both he and his housekeeper were to leave New Orleans bo- fore nine o'clock to night. Yesterday morning’s sunlight revealed upon the post of his front door a few words of friendly advice to the same intent. ‘the Doctor, no doubt, a night, and ear- ly yesterday morning he went to the residence of Mayor Monroe, on zine street, and in his tribulation inform- ed him of the circumstance of his mysterious visiters and their request, He bad been living in Now Orleans for three years, bad made a good deal of money out of our citizens, and expected to make a good doal more, and as he did not want to leave so soon he claimed the pro- tection’ of the city governinont. Mr. Monroe told him that if he chose to goto the parish prison, and voluntarily go into confinement there, he would be protected, but Unat the police force was too meagre for the necessary patrol duties without weakening it by detailing corps to cecupy the house of every party who was afraid of the public sentiment. Last night, as we passed by the residence of De.
