Yankee Bnl? In If ew C^rlcans?How
the Ladies are Treated.
The Mobile Advertiser contains the statements
of a lady just from New Orleans, which
confirm other accounts, and the tenor of Butler's
orders, to the effect that the conquerors
are making the unhappy citizens feel the iron
heel of his power. Every day the Military surveillance
becomes more rigid, and the regulations
more stringent. Butler, as the most infamous
of his ordeas indicates, is levying fierce

trimmings of their bonnets, tfce., semblances of
the Confederate flag, and the Southern colors,

indulge no more in . such demonstrations of
rebellious sentiment, under penalty of condign
punishment Mrs.J.B.Walton the lovelv and

and consigned to dungeons at the whim of the
Yankee despot. Fifty thousand men had been
landed in the city, and were quartered within
and about it, and garrisoning the works of
the coast, lakes and rivers. A great deal of
sickness, and of a very fatal type, was prevailing
among the unacclimated Yankees of New
EnglanJ, and seventy dead invaders were carried
out from one hospital and burricd in a
single night Large numbers of buildings are
being converted into hospitals for the accommodation
of the great number of sick, who, if
they do not die from actual disease, probably
do from fear, their imaginations being tormented
with terrible vissions of Yellow Jack. It
was common talk among the Yankee officers
that Mobile would soon be attacked, and tbey
said that the city would be shelled without
hesitation if any rcsistence was made atfer their
gunboats were in range. When the lady ap

money, she paid the amount.
Tlie Badge of Honor.
In the following orders, general Beauregard
announces that hereafter the merits and gallantry
of those true heros of the war?the private
soldiers of the Southern ariny?are to be 1
recognized and recorded:

General Orders No. 43.
I. To do full justice to the private soldier,
who is seldom accorded his meed of praise, and
who rarely receives full credit for his gallant (
deeds; aod to place him, in this respect, more |
nearly on an equality with the commissioned
officer, the Commander of the forces has determined
to distribute a badge of merit, in person,
in presence of the troops, to every officer,
and every private soldier, who shall greatly j
distinguish himself in any engagemant with
the enemy.
.II. The badge will have inscribed on it
the csme of the battle in which it was won.
During war it will be a proud testimonial of
the wearer's heroism, and will place his name
upon the list of those entitled to promotion in
the army; and when the invader is driven back
and our independence secured, it will gloriously
prove his title to his countrymen, and to
the highest civic honors.
III. Commanders of Corps, Divisions, Bri-'
gades, Regiments and.Compnnies will, immediately
after each engagement, carefully report
their bravest men to a military commission, to
be appointed for the purpose, upon whose ro? j
port tLat their conduct nas been pre-eminently
brave, they will receive this reward of patriot-,

The Battle of Shlloh.
I
I Tho following interesting extracts are taken
from Oen. Bean regard's official report of the
tattle of SUiloh:
4* It remains to state that oar loss in the two
days in killed outright was 1,728; wounded)
8,012 ; missing, 059?making an aggregate of
casualties of 10,699.
| This sad list tells in simple language of the
stout fight made by our countrymen in front
of the rude log chapel of Shilob, especially
when it is known that on Mondav. from ex
haustion and other cause*, not twenty thousand
meu on our side could be brought into
action.
Of the loss of the enemy I have no exact
knowledge. Their newspapers report it as
very heavy. Unquestionably it was greater,
even in proportion, than our own on both
days, for it was apparent to all that their dead
left on the field outnumbered ours two to oneTheir
casualties, therefore, cannot have fallen
many short of twenty thousand in killed,
wounded, prisoners and missing.
1 Through information derived from many
sources, including the newspapers of the enemy,
we engaged on Sunday the divisions of
i Gens. Prentiss, Sherman, Hurlbut, McClernand
and Smith, of 9,000 men each, or at least
45,000 men. This force was reinforced on
Sunday night by the divisions of Gens. Nelson^
McCook, Crittenden and Thomas, of MajorGeneral
Bnell's army, some 25,000 strong, in
eluding all arms. Also, Gen. L. Wallace's di- <
1 vision of Gen. Grnnt's army, making at least
33,000 fresh troops, which, added to the remi
nant of Grant's forces, on Monday morning
| amounting to over 20,000, made an aggregate 1
j force of some 53,000 men, at least, arrayed |
against us on tbat day.
Thk Yankees Working tii'k Negros at
Port Rotal in Chain Gangs.?The New
York Herald, of last week, says:
We observe it stated in a New York journal
" on authority," that the negros at Port Royal
are chained together in gangs, in order to
compel them to work, as their minds were so
perverted by the false teachings of fanatical
missionaries that they thought they would have
to work no more, and tbat iu future the white
men would work for them, and spoon-feed '
them besides. This only proves what we have 1
often said?that the negro will only work on 1
compulsion. If the legal owners of these lazy 1
blacks had chained them in the manner de- (
scribed, there would be a loud outcry against 1
their inhumanity. We do not believe there *
are ar.v cxamnles of tliA Vin^l?on
, >r. w ? ??? ?II vv JUCIIVC

that the Southern planter knows better how to
manage the negro, and can make him work ^
with less cruelty^ than Northern men, who do (
not understand his nature, and are less kindly *
to him. If the statement be true, nothing can
more clearly demonstrate the impossibility of
giving freedom to the negros of the South ^
without such coercive laws as will force them ^
to work. The negro's idea of Freedom and of
Paradise is to have nothing to do.
The Fate op Richmond.?The next few ^
days may decide the fate of Richmond. It is f
either to remain the Capital of the Confede- 1
racy, or to be turned over to the Federal Gov- r
ernment as a Yankee conquest. The Capital ^
is either to be secured or lost?it may be feared *
not temporarily?and with it Virginia. Then, 1
if there is blood to be shed, let it be shed here; ^
no soil of the Confederacy could drink it more ^
acceptably, and none would bold it more grate- v
fully. Wife, family and friends are nothing. F
Leave them all for one glorious hour to be de- *
voted to the Republic. Life, death and wounds
are nothing if we only be saved from the fate
of a captured Capital and a humiliated Con- u
federaoy. Let the Government act; let the ~
people act. There is time yet
If fate come to ita worst, let the ruins of
Richmond be its most lasting xboanment.?

We have dates from New Orleans to Friday
last The Delta has learned from copy of
the Jackson Afiesissippian of the battle of Elk *
River and the evacuation of Norfolk. We clip
the following local items:
Tamal Hot.?This forenoon the thirteenth
Connecticut regiment was marched from ^Pt

St. Charles to Canal, and thence to the Custom
House. As they marched along under

"It's tarnal hot." The sun did come down
pretty warm; but it was nothing to what it will
bo in the course of a'month or two.
. i
Provisions.?Two steamboats came into
port yesterday, with provisions from Red River,
and others are expected soon to follow. These
arrivals, with the beeves which are arriving
from Texas, must bring a speedy change in"
the conditfbn of our domestic market places. \
It appears that Picayune Butler intends to
regulate the religion of the people of New Orleans.
Apprehending that they might do seme
obnoxious praying on last Friday he issued the
following order. Butler, by his brQtal orders,
is doing good service in the Southern cause:

The Policy of the War.
From an article in a recent number of the*
New York Herald we take the following;
By precipitating battles at the two places ,
named (Corinth and Richmond), we risk, in ;
case of a disaster, the indefinite protraction of
the war. By closing the Confederates with a A
net-work from which they cannot escape, and
starving them into submission, wo gain twa
objects which the country would be gratified to- "
accomplish?that of sparing the further effusion blood,
and-capturing and punishing the rebel
leaders. This line of policy cannot be entrusted
in better hands than those of Generals
McClellan and Halleck. If the Government -1
consults the interests and feelings of the conn:ry,
it will support them in pursuing it
Hon. Jere Clemens.?The numerona ad
nirers of the gifted Alabamian will learn witk
eelings of deepest regret that he has fogptken
he Confederate cause, and given in Ur alll^ i
