Ilenerel Butler has, since his arrival in New Orleans, issued suns,' thirty orders' upon all sorts of subjects. including civil. -military. and financial..entliraein g a variety of perplexing and delicate . 1 itestion s. In all of these he has shown himself to he a. man of remarkable shrewdness and exec utive ability. He at once takes hold of a question ut the right end, and works it, out successfully to its logical conclusion. Our readers will remember that upon the capture of New Orleans liv the I 'tilted States forces, the Alnyor replied to a de-1 eland. to surrender the city in a grandilo quent strain, in which he intimated that] "a high spirituel peoPle would nut bear their presence of our Union soldiers: . Fur a city and people conquered and reduced to subjection to the authority of the govern ment, this Was rather complacent, hut the, Mayor's conduct since is a far more ex quisite exhibition of serenity. This indig nant chief magistrate of the thieving thugs, of New Orleans, could not brook the pies: euce of our nation's deliverers;.' but he -- could, in a few days Idler this ait non nee raeut, extend the freedom of the city to tht officers of a French frigate lying in port, politely eitending them the hospi 'slides of his restrained corporation I' p on this announcement, General Butler de parted from his usual gravity; he (.4 - m1(11101 auppretis the mirth he entertained, created by the idea of "the freedom of a captured city being extended by those who are cap tured." lie continues his notice of this performence of his honor by saying that it "merits letters patent for its novelty, were there not doubts of its usefulness as an in 'vexation." In fact, the only duties at pres ent:entrusted by Butler to the municipal authorities of New Orleans are merely po lice and sanitary; so that the invitatieu to the hospitalities alluded to by his honor: can only mean epees:a to the ealabnose. or.. hospital. That the French lien 'Mitten - are likely to accept these is no very. likely, and yet. Butler declares that the invitation entitles 'them to nothinb snore. He states, however, very shrewdly, that-when any demonstrations of respect • are,rvecessary to 111 , given in the Officers of the frigate in questiun they will la. ex tended by the Proper rilireSelitutiVe of th United States g,uvcrntnent. . - Among the many lepetaltmeics teem which the New ()deans rebels relied fo the. ultimate success ~t 'their talus, acre / their local maladies during the smuttier! months.

The only order issued by Gen. Butler, isbout the propriety of which there appear to be any difference of opinion, is that i relation to the women of New Orlean s . But even the worst nonstruction that can be put upon it does not mean the II nrestriline liberties of a ruffian soldiery. Itegarditty the "ladies" of the city as " women of the town," when they are fouhd actin as such, means arrest by the proper au thorities;. and not the unlicensed and monstrous indulgences to which some o . our eoteinpoiaries have alluded.

There are a few, whose names I learned as they were being conveyed from the field. It will be a day or two before any thing like a hill list can be obtained. Many of the wounded were immediately taken to the rear and placed upon cars and carried to the White House, where boats were waiting to receive them. The ar ' rangements for taking tare of the wounded was as complete as could be expected.-. In summing up the days fighting we came to the conclusion that, although we were temporarily obliged to fall back a short distance and suffered a loss of seven field pieces and all our tents, blankets, ac., with a probable loss in killed, wounded 1 1 and missing of six or seven hundred, we still have many things to con gratulate ourselves about and to be thankhd for. It must be .remembered that lien. Casey's Division went into the engagement. only 6,4)01) strong at the out side, while the force of the enemy was at least your times that number. We suc ceeded in saving all our baggage wagons and officers' baggage, losing only a small athonnt of eommissary stores. - The enemy commenced the attack about I p.m.. throwing his whole force against Gen. Casey's position, with the hope of causing a panic in his ranks, which they not only tidied in doing, but were held in check a long time. until many of his men were made to bite the_ thtfs and till General Couch had time to prepare his forces to support him. Then, and not till then, when we hardly had:officer* enough to give the command, Men give way before the overwhelming force of the enemy, and fell back to the position occupied by,Couch.

Premonitory symptoms of an attack had shown them selves for two days previous, and it Mks generally the opinion in camp that the enemy contemplated such a movement. Yesterday the enemy made a reconuois ance in force, and learned exactly the po sition of-our line of pickets, as well as the location of our camp, and made their preparations accordingly. At the time the attack was made, Gen eral Casey's outpost> were within about five miles of it iehmond, near Fairook Station. The position was gained by the reconnoisance made by General Naglee on Saturday, 24th inst., and our General had orders to hold the position ut all hazards. The rebel generals undoubtedly made the attack in order to prevent us front com pleting the fortifications which we were building, and also to feel our strength and learn our exact position. The outposts of our pickets were less that, at mile from the general encampment, and very elese to the pickets of the enemy. About one o'clock the enemy tired three shells into our camp, one utter the other, at intervals of about ii minute, which was probably a signal to their forcezthat every thing was in readiness, and which caused no uneasiness in Our camp from the fre quency of its occurrence of late. Within a few minutes they yam,- upon our pickets unawares and .attacked them with great vigor and a large hoe... roar pickets were either killed, captured or driven in quickly, and the enemy ad dcalmed as rapidly as possible upon our leamp. In the meantime the reginient,; of the different brigades had fhllen inn, line. in I ,pat ! aniimion of an order to that effect, 1 which soon arrived, and ut onee were oil in double quick to the scene of eontliet. The most terrible of the fighting occur red just as the enemy had got through the woods and where our reserves were drawn up to receive them. The most desperate 1 eon rage was displayed here, upon both ' sides, our regiments charging repeatedly upon the enemy; driving them [tack tar a while, when they would again iu turn get the upper hand and drive is befilre them. The loss on both sides at this point lutist have been fearful, as every inch of ground Was disputed in the most desperate man ner, and was only gained by overwhelming numbers and by passing over the b o dies of our dead and wounded soldiers. I tur batteries at the time were pouring into the rebel ranks a perfect shower of grape and canister, mowing them down in win rows but still they steadily step by step advanced till our lines commenced to give way. when they charged upon our batteries and succeeded in capturing several guns. which we were unable to remove, owing to the horses having been killed. The enemy were now in possession of our camp and had turned our own guns .upon our ca trenching columns, while the intiintry com tinned to follow them up as closely as pos sible. Our men, though compelled to hill back, did so without any symptoms of a panic, but still quite hastily. The enem captured everything belong ing to Casey's Division, excepting what they had on their backs, leaving them wit b out a tent or a blanket to cover them. The supply of Commissary's stores was very light in camp. and all the baggage wagons and officer's baggage had been sent to the rear two days before, so that our loss fell principally on the men who had left all their effects in their tents. The attack was made sti suddenly and unexpectedly that at this time, six p. nn.. while the Eight is still going on and all is confusion, it is impossibl e to give the ex act position which each regiment held in the engagement. The position of the tlif ferent brigades before the engagement was as follows: Gen. Naglee's brigade„censist - ing of the 104th Penit'a, Col. W. H. EL Davis: 11th Maine, Lieut. Col.'Plionsteeti: ralth N. Y., Col. C. H. Vanwick: re ,1 Pa., Col. .1: C. Dodge; 100th N. l'., Col. .1. M. Brown, were on the right of IVilliams. burg at Richmond stage road. and..extend ed acrossthe railroad track some tlistance. The second brigade, under command of Den. %Vessels, consisting of the B:',th Pa., leo!. .1. It. Howell; 101st Pa., Cul. .1. H. Wilson; 103 d Pa.. Col. T. 11. Leman: neth N. V., Col. .1. Fairman, occupied the centre and guarded the turnpike. while the Third Brigade, General .1. N. Palmer, commanding, consisting of the 81st New York, I.ieut. Colonel Deforest: -85th New York, Col. T. ti. Belknap; 72d New it- Lieut, Col. Anderson; asth New Y Lieut. Col, Durkee, were on the left. 0 road and joined the pickets of I let, Couch's Division. It is impossible at this tine to givt. 8 reliable account of the number killed at wonnded in Casey's division. These reg, molts are mostly comp() ed of compura. five new troops and have been rgdnete very much from sic k ness since they louse been on the peninsula. The whole division could not have numbered mare than six thousand effective men, while the force of the enemy was from thirty to filly thonsant I. The officers all, as far us I could learn, behaved in the most gallant manner, and their loss is large. General Casey Wee in the thickest of the fight and was reported wounded, but I afterwards learned that. he ,escaped unhurt.. ' General Palmer is reported killed, and it is generally believed to be true, as he was in the thickest of the light and could not be found. He may have been wound ed and taken prisoner. General Naglee had his clothes riddled by bullets, but escaped almost miracalous ly, without any serious wounds. General Wessells is reported wounded. Casey's division fell back t' the Seven Pines, where the division of Gen. Couch was drawn up behind rifle pits. The bat tle raged fiercely here fiir a time, when General Couch fell back with considerable loss, a short distance, but finally succeed ed in making a successful stand till the ar rival of reinforcements from Gen. Heint zelman, whose troops were pouring in on the railroad, as I left the field, and I learn succeeded jointly in checking the enemy and retakingpartof the ground lost during the day. What the casualities were in Couch's division it is impossible to learn at the time of writing, as it is near dark, and r those whose statements can be relied upon are still on the field. I learn that Peck ) and Devens' Brigades were actively engaged and suffered considerable toss, but CAR ' learn nothing reliable from the balance. It is impossible to fix accurately upon the number of our killed, wounded and missing to-night, but I should judge they will reach COO or TOO: The enemy's loss must be very heavy, as they received the concentrated fireof our batteries for a eon: .sidemble time, besides the deadly volley poured into them by our infantry. A large number of our killed and woun ded musthave fallen into their hands. •---- - • The object of the enemy, in my opinion, was to make a strong reconnomance, in ()Merl° feel our position, and, if success ful, to drive us back as far as possible. If such was the object of the movement, it was eminently successful, as far as the events of to-day are - concerned t but what will transpire to-morrow remains to be From a PriatatoF , ,theintro advance o the enemy, cohlisteiFoppi and North Carolina lam% under tho com- Mand of Geniaintriiiies, and su ported ..iy=tr,,,,., ll. 4llatrixipa ander ; ' were seen comic up the. : '''‘ . iket MiliMead,-and'folt sure that the clay was ours ! and that, the r y. 7 Hit bough te in porftnly successful, I 8 . 0 . 8 be driven back beyond our tonal. lines.
