" PICAYUNE BUTLER'S OH.
DERS."
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. . -

city, the, authorities paid ne nulher atten

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

the "ladies" of the city as " women of

General Shields' staff, with twenty-tier the First Ohio Cavalry, made a reconnois

his return he reported the enemy retreat

their baggage trains nearly through.
;eneral Bayard, with the First Pennsyl
vania and First New Jersey Cavalry, and
six companies of Pennsylvania •• !tuck t ail
infantry, and Sixth Maine, battery, was
immediately ordered to advance to Stras
burg and cut °tithe train. Upon arriving
within a mile of Strausburg he putr i d the
enemy in great force just beyond the vil
lage, and not deeming it prudent to attack,
halted for the night and now occupies the
advance looking direetly into the eyes of
the enemy.
Much tiring was heard yesterday, dur
ing the entire day, some distance beyond
Strasburg. Several blacks report that Gm
Roseeranz had attacked Jackson and beaten
him.
[There is some mistake about the above,
as Gen. Hosecrans is now in the army of
the Tennessee, under Gen. Halleck, in
command of the division of the late Gen.
Smith.—En, Posy.]
The probabilities are t hat. Jackson will
be overtaken to-day, and a great battle will
be fought.
ELLGERSTOWV, Md., June g.—A paroled
private from Winchester arrived to-day.--
lie says that Jackson and Ashby were
both At Winchester on Saturday. At one
,o'clock Sunday morning the rebel army
was put in motion towards Strasburg,
Ashby taking the route along the North
Mountain. After daylight on Sunday
morning he reports having heard firing in
the direction of Middletown till he reach
!ed Martinsburg. The secessionists told
him that the rebel Jackson encountered
the forces of Generals Fremont and Shields
at Middletown, where Jackson was defeat.
ed and lost ten guns. The same informant
says that Jackson had twenty-one regi
ments of infiuktr3 , and fifty-two guns. All
the prisoners were well treated. The sick,
wounded and disabled, as well as the sur
geons and hospital stewards and nurses,
were paroled. Only a small portion of,
the prisoners were taken along with the
rebel army. They claim to have taken
2,000 prisoners.
It is also rumored via Haeper's Ferry
that Jackson was defeated at Winchester
yeiterdah and was retiring towards Suck

not been ascertained. 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

The advance division °film Army Of

mand of Brigadier-General Silas (;trey,
was attacked tOlay fig an overwhelming
force of the enemy, and driven back a
distance of two miles. 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

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 -

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
