A correspondent of the Chicago Herald, who says he was there, gives the following account of one of Butlei's "hanging bees" in New Orleans. The man was William a prominent New-Orleans sporting man, and the circumstances were these: After Farragut's fleet had passed the forts below the city and anchored off the levee, Capt. Morris, of the Pensacola, was directed by Farragut to land a boat's crew, take possession of the United States custom house and mint and hoist the union flag on both buildings. The rebel troops under Mansfield Lovell had fled the city, but Butler's forces had not yet arrived. The flag was hoisted on the mint on April 27, and within two hours Mumford had collected a posse of fellows as reckless as himself and proceeded to tear it down.

The flag was cut into strips and distributed among the drunken crowd as trophies. The next day Butier landed with his troops. The rebel papers of that morn-insi were filled with glowing accounts of Mumford's deed, and he was applauded as a patriot. The "enemy" were defiantly assured that the act was the act of the city, and that the whole people would stand by Mumford and defend him with "their heart's blood." This and other twaddle in the ricayune forced Butler to take greater notice of Mumford's act than he might otherwise have done. He arrested Mumford and brought him before the provost guard.

His object was to punish him for drunkenness and disorderly conduct. The next morning the Picayune and True DdUi fairly screamed their defiance. "Mumford must be rescued!" "The Yankees must be driven out they yelled. That was too much for Ben. He sent a guard and took possession of both newspaper offices, put their proprietors in the guard house, called for volunteer printers and editors from the ranks of the army, and next morning both papers appeared as bang-.
