On hb arrival, ribald voices in the crowd on the levee had cried out, " Wait till Yellow Jack [yellow fever] comes, old Cock-eye I He'll make you fly T' But " Yellow Jack " was not allowed to come ; and that terrible scourge has not appeared in New Orleans since General Butler made it clean, and taught the inhabit- ants to keep it so. Residents there declared to the author, when he visited that city in the spring of 1856, that gratitude for incalculable blessings should prompt the inhabitants t...o erect a statue of General Butler in one of the public squares, in testimony of their appreciation of a real bene- factor. General Butler organized plans for the alleviation of the distress among the inhabitants, and invited the civil authorities to unite with him in the merciful work. But they were deaf to the voice of righteousness. With- holding relief from their starving fellow-citizens, they sent provisions to the (^amps of the insurgents who had fled from the city.' In every possible way attempts were made to thwart the orders and wishes of General Butler while he was feeding the starving poor by thousands, and was working day and niglit to revive and restore the business of the city, that its wonted pros- perity might return.
