He found the city reduced by the rebellion to a state of indescribable mutiny, ruffianism, law- jessness, filthiness, disorder and destitution’ The rebellion had suffocated the Union senti menf which had been predominant among its population, and they had been deluded by the rebel authors of their ruin into the savage be- lief that the wrongs and outrages they bad suffered and were suffering from secession were due to tho government from which they had received only the choicest blessiags of a happy people. Hence, instead of being wel- eomed in New Orleans ag a deliverer, General Butler was received as a tyeannical con- queror, He fonnd himself in tie midst of a great conspiracy of sullen and defiant men and of wabhappy and excited women, venting their foolish unger upon himself and his sol- diers in every species of insult. He soon dis- covered that a casual collisiou in the street might instantly ripen into x general revolt, in- volving « fearful destruction of puman life and the reduction of the city to ashes; and he suw at once that it was only by siroug nmeusures that he could save the city or ity people the worst consequences of their own madness and folly. With this conviction General Butter pro seeded to the work before him, aad with the will, industry aud vedolution equal to the task. He believed ii was nevessary to make some ter- ribie examples—perhaps too severe in several cases—of prominent offenders of both sexes, and to impress by acts, a« well as by procla- uations, the people of all classes of New Or- jeans with the positive supremacy of the an- “thority of the Uniied Stules.

American “Diplomacy at the #rench Court.. Our latest advices from Europe leave the question of the recognition of the Southern cen- federacy trembling in the balance. Mason and Slidell, we are told, made a simultaneous de- mand that England and France should imme~ diatety grant the recognition of the confede- racy. This demand was promptly and plumply refused by Eugland, as the recent speech of the Queen and the recent declarations of Earl Rus- #ell and Lord Palmerston naturally led us to expect. France, at the date of the news tele- gram, “had not yet replied.” It is useless for us to speculate as to what her reply will be, for we do not anticipate that Napoleon will reply at all at present. The plain truth of the matter is, doubtless, that Napoleon has no fixed policy in regard to intervention in our affairs. The statement that he admitted the cogency of Slidell’s arguments, but replied that “the greatest barrier to the recognition of the South had been the objections of England,” is pro- bably not withoat foundation. The Emperor Napoleon will wait, like Micawber, until * something turns up” to remove these objec- tions, or until be can find the means to move in spite of them. When he acis at all it wili be for his own interests, and for his interests alone. The foreign policy of the United States should, therefore, be so directed as to maintain these * objections” of the English governmeni, aud to convinee Napoleon that it is for his best in- teres's not to recognize the South. Meanwhile the domestic policy of the goverament should ve to press on the war with sach vigor as to remove all chance of interveution by speedily subduing the rebeition. We may safely eutrust our domestic policy to the care of General Usileek and our other generals in the field, and by every new soldier we enlist and every new dron-clad we build the “objectione” of England to interfere in our alfuirs will be inereased. At the Court of France, bowever, this government needs 4 more active, energetic and’ diplomatie—thougn it cer- tainly could not have a more willing and pafriotic—representative than Minister Dayton, ‘Lhe objections of Bugland ought not to be the “greatest barrier” against {rench intervention. Our Minister at Paris should not lave allowed Mr. Slidell tna to make the worse appear the heiter reason. The fyuit is, nevertheless, not that of Mr. Dayton, but of the adininistration whick keeps him at Paris, Mr. Dayton is an honest, upright, able man, worthy to represent this country in almost any eapaciiy ex: of Minister to Frauce. There he is aliogeihor out of his element, aud can do neinner himself nor his country credit. He is not a dipiomatist, and is completely overmatched by the oily, artful, adroit, uuscrupulous, intriguing Slidell. Above all, be cannot speak the I'reach ian- guage, which Slidell talks like a Parisian, and, therefore, all his communications with the French Emperor or the French Ministers have to be made through the awkward medium of an interpreter. In Paris, aleo, many of the most momentous decisions of the government ave wflected by the social intrigues, for which Siidel! is so well fitted, but which Mr. Dayton is com- pelled ¢o entirely ignore, nat tess by bis igno- raise of the French language (han by the bluff. hearty, straightforward republican simplicity sod frankness of his character, babits and de portent.

In Europa the character of Uria rebellion and of our efforts to crush it are very traly appreciated. The democracy of Ewrope syropathize with the North. The uristocracy of Europe sympathize with the rebels. As our i stimniated the French volution, #0 our success during this war has stimulated Garibaldi. Let us remember, also, that the French Revolution of 1848 began in italy: that its coming was first indicated by nt Prussia, preceding Garibaldi On war electiona in lutionary.

The war in this eoun- try is exciting the democracy of ali Europe, and though Napoleon bas prepared for a revo- lution by widening the street: of Paris so as to permit the use of artillery and by macadam!z- ing the roadways so as to prevent the stones being torn up to ercet barricades, still, when the people wish to revolt they will perhaps find ineaus to be successful, Thus affairs on lavdred iron-clads afloat, who ean tell how the whole world?

ASoLiTionists aNp SxcessionisTs Dasvourscine Entasrments.—On Monday last Mr. D. Plumb, a noted abolitionist, and Mr. Jobn R. Shuttle- worth, said to be @ secessionist, were arrested by Provost Marshal Kennedy on the charge of uttering sentiments calculated to discourage en- listments, Mr. Plumb ia accused of saying that President Lincoln ought to be hung; that he would advise men not to enlist until the war was properly conducted and negroes permitted to be used as soldiers, and that, if drafted, he should resist and advise others to resist. Mr. Shuttleworth is reported to have declared that the South was right; that he hoped McClellan’s army would be bagged, and that, if ho should be forced to go to the war, he would not fight for the North, Under the recent order of Secretary Stanton these men are clearly guilty of a crime which wifl be punished by impressment into the army. In the case of the Gordons—father and son—in Boston lately, it was dovided that pri- vate conversations of this character might not render the pariies concerned liable to arres'; but the utterances of these men were open, and their effect undonbtedly pernicious to recruiting. This is, we believe, the first case in which one of our anthorities has been just enough and fair enough to arrest an abolitionist for disloyalty. Pocket sympathizers with secession haye been imprisoned from every section of the country; peat@organs, in almost every Slate, have been foretbly suppressed; butno disunion abolitionist has before been arrested, no treasenable abo- lition organ has yet been suppressed. Dy arare chance Provost Marshal Kennedy arrested both these represenintive traitors at once, and their seatimenta stand recorded side by side, Both the abolitionist and the secessionist hate the constivutional President; both discouraged en- lgtments in the Union army: both declared that they would not fight for the North. This coin- cidence is not accidental. Vailandighbam and Wendell Phillips occupy the same platform of hostility to the President, the army and the Union, The Tribune and the former peace or- guns are atike in opposing enlistments and tbrowing cold. water upon the war, We haye repeatedly asked the government to unite the North by treating both these classes of traitors alike. We ave glad that Provost Marshal Ken- nedy haa had the good judymént to make a be- ginning in this good work, and hope that he will not fail to continue bis labors until, in this city at least, there shail be none but unconditional Union men. He should strike higher next time, howevgy. There are abolitionists in this city quite aa violeat and loud tongued, but betier known, and therefore more dangerous, than Mr. Plumb. One of them is named Greeley, and writes and prints’ in the Tribune every day many articles calculated to discourage eniiat- ments. Let his case be attended to immediately. Tan Barrie or Baron Rovaw.-One of the best coutended and moat exciting battles of the campaign is unquestionably that which bas just taken place at Baton Rouge. Taking into ao gount the disparity of the mumbers engaged ~ ovo thousand five bundred Union men to fit: toon thousand rebcla—the victory gained there retleels inore Credit upoa the federal arma than. almost any that we lave as yet won, It proves the superior morale of ove troops over that of the rebels, their enthusiast in face of the enemy, and their readiness to fave any odds under commanders that they can trust, Many tose up from their sick beds to take part iu the fight: and the endurance of this himdtid of troops during a contest in which they were pressed for hours by an cnemy tive times their number, and whom they finally routed from the field, deserves (ohe ravked among the t memorable events of ihe campaign. it will be said that they had the support of the gunboats, which inspired them with all the confidence necessary to sustain this unequal conflict. This must not be allowed to detract from the gallantry and pluck of our men: for they knew that the rebel ram Arkansas was in their nelghborhood, and that the attack was projected in the confident expectation that she would play a prominent part in the fight and preveat the gunboats lend- ing them any assistance. Al! circumstances considered, then, we are justitied jn saying that this battle, though it las cost us the life of one of the bravest aud most esteemed of our gene rala, will have a more inapiriting efi@et upon the ormy aad wpon the comntry than almost any other event of the war. f the share which our gunboats took In it, we have only to repeat what wa have so ofteu said on former occasions, that to this branel: of our naval service we are indebted for the sub stantial portion of the vielory. Our troops can andonbtedly claim the credit of having repulsed the enemy. but they could not bave retained their position in the face of such overwhelming odds without the ald of the fleet. To Com- mander Porter, of the Easex, eapecial gratitde is due for the determination with which he fol- lowed up and destroyed the rebel river monster which had inspired so mach anxiety. His rejec- tion of assistance in this labor of Jove (for he claimed the Arkansas a# a particnlar pet of his) shows thal he lacks nothing of the intrepidity and dash of the heroic family to whigh ho be- longs. Gueemea = Wanvane—Ivrowraxce or Ca- vaLey.—The mistake made Jn reducing the number of cavalry regiments enrolled under the President's second call has been reudered painfully evident by the success atlending the guerilia operations of the enewy.
