The copperhead journals are again trying to
annihilate General Butler, or the “malicious
human brute,” as the World terms him. They
do not relish his treatment of their friends in
Dixie, moire especially his sentence of bank
cashiers and clergymen to menial labor, to
which their delicate hands have been unac
customed. The W orld is particularly severe,
and to show how far such sympathizing sheets
will go to serve the traitors who are almost
daily murdering loyal citizens, we republish the.
following extracts from the official report of
the examination of one of the clerical friends
of our New York cotemporary, a Dr. Arm
strong, of Norfolk, who was recently sentenced
to work upon the fortifications at Hatteras.
After refusing to answer whether he was a
loyal man in letter and spirit, and what com
panion it was that had made the remark he
“would'like to spit upon Northern Yankees,”-
the following examination was made of the
“harmless clergyman,” as the World would
calrhim:
Q.. Have you ever in yonr pulpit alluded favor,
ably to the Southern cause ? A. I nreached a ser.
mon on the recommendation of the Southern Cou.
gr uss.

thereof, that they may be successful hi all their

have.
<£■ Do you think this a wicked rebellion 1 A.
No, sir.
Q- Have you, since the commencement of ’he

United States 1 A. No, sir.
Cl. Did you ever open your church on Jeff. Da
vis’s recommendation 1 A. There has been meet
ing for prayer.
Q. Should the President of the United States
within a short time recommend a day of thanks
giving or fast, with a viow that Christians would
unite in prayer for the overthrow of all rebels in
arms against the government of the United‘States,
would you willingly open your church and take
charge of such meetings to thatend 7 A. I should
not.
Cl- Do yon look upon slavery as adivlne institn.
tion 7 A. I look upon it as allowable.
Cl. Did you look upon the hanging of John
Brown as jnst and right! A. I did.
Q- Would you look upon the hanging of any of
the prominent rebels—Jeff. Davis, for instance—as
just and right! A. I should not.
Q- Are yon religiously and morally opposed to

confederates as deserving any severe punishment
for their public acts against tbe government

Cl. Do you sympathize with the Union cause

Cl. Do you look upon Jeff. Davis, Wigfall, J.

United States Congress just preceding the year
1660 as perjured men, and deserving a traitor’s re

GEN. BDTLEB AND THE COPPERHEADS.
THE SHERMAN EXPEDITION.
[Correspondence of the nl. Y. Tribune. 1
Vicksbueg, Miss., Feb. 28,.18(4 Considerable
commotion exists in this obnoxious townto-dav.
occasioned by the sudden and unexpected appear
ance olthe veteran hero-Maj.-Gen. W. T. Sher
man. The daring Yankee expedition into the in
terior of this rebel domain, Mississippi, has re
tuniGd in triumph, accomplishing its important
‘ttJc loss of life. The entire force
of Gen. Sherman at an early hour this afternoon,
covered with dust, and accompanied by three or
lour staff officers and two mounted orderlies,
created a great sensation among the secesh, with
whemit hadbeen currently reported that a rebel
bujlet bad laid him low.
On the morning ot Feh. 3, Gen.. Sherman* with
a force of 1:5,000 men, marched from Wig Black
Eijpr. Gen. Sherman and Gen. Hurlbat’s divi
sion crossed at Messenger’s Ferry, five miles above
the line ol the _ Southern Kailroad, and General
McPherson s division at the railroad crossing.
After the entire army had ctossed safely, orders
were ai once given to push on to Helton, a small
stationat the Raymond Junction on the Sontaern
Railroad, some filteen miles from the Big Black
river. At this point cur advance had a lively
skirmish with the enemy, resulting in the
killing of twelve men, and the wounding of
thirty-five. The rebel loss was much larger,
a number of their dead being Is ft on the Held
General McPherson’s infantry forces marched up
rapidly, and dispersed Lee’s cavalry, estimated
at 6,000 men, without any serious encounter. With
his usual energy, Gen. McPherson continued to
■ press them closely, and so hotly were the retreat
ing rebels pursued that, four miles east of Bolton,
Acting Brig, Gen. Winsiow, formerly a Colonel
of the 4th lowa cavalry, succeeded in ilanking
them with a force of 1,400 cavalry. The capture
of the whole force seemed inevitable at this junc
ture, butthe main body escaped, and only a few
prisoners were taken.
Without much*opposition, the entire army
marched rapidly toward Jackson. Lee’s rebel
cavalry fleeing in the greatest disorder in the di
rection of Canton, a flourishing little town twenty
miles north of Jackson. ■ Here Acting Brigadier-
General Winslow’s Cavalry closed in upon the
rebel columns, capturing a large number of
prisoners and one piece of artillery, a 10
pounder Parrott gun, together with a caisson
stocked with ammunition, which was subse
quently used with good .effect upon the
enemy’s line. The prisoners taken belonged to
Mississippi and Georgia cavalry regiments, with
afew mounted infantrymen. Jackson was reached
on ihe evening of February sth and (Jen. McPher.
son at once ordered the gallant 10th Missouri
Cavalry Regiment to secure the rebel pontoon
bridge across Pearl Biver. Gen. French, the
rebel officer, had crosseo this bridge but a' few
moments in advance ot our cavalry, and a large
gang of rebels were busiiy engaged in de
stroying it, when the sudden appearance
of the brave ,aud determined Missourians
caused them to beat a precipitate
retreat. A number of their men embraced this fa
vorable opportunity to desert to our lines, telling
us doleful stories of the demoralization of the so
called Confederates. The bridge was saved, and
the next, day our troops found this rebel pontoon
bridge convenient for crossing Pearl river. Gen.
Sherman ordered the advance to proceed to Bran
don. some twelve miles distant, arriving there Sun
day noon, meeting with bnt slight resistance on
iheir march.
At Jackson, some twentv buildings were de
stroyed by the slaves m retaliation for the inhuman
cruelties perpetrated upon them by their rebel
masters. At Brandon, similar scenes were wit
nessed, and theontraged bondmen and bondwomen
revenged the brutality of those they once were
compelled to call masters-
From Brandon the expedition moved on to Mor
ton, a small village depot qjfethe Southern Rail,
road, where the depot ancr outbuildings - were
speedily consumed by fire. Only a few buildings
were burned at Brandon by the troops, the so
called Confederate Government not occupying
many. Ttere was, however, every evidence that
Brandon was shortly to be a supply depot of con- '
slderable importance, large quantities or stores
having been removed at Ue news ofour approach.
General Loriug, with his demoralized army,
crossed Pearl River on the sth of February, at
Madison Crossing and formed a junction w*ith '
Gen. French, the two forces amounting to 1,500
men. Gen. Sherman fett quite confident the enemy
would make a stand at this strong position, but our
scouts soon brought the amusing intelligence that
;the rebels were in full retreaton the Hillsboro road.
The cause of this charge of base, we learned from
a deserter who entered our Hues, was the snppoßi
tion that General Sherman was endeavoring to
Hank them via the line of the Southern Railroad.
Colonel Winslow, commanding a brigade of caval
ry, consisting cf the 4ih lowa, Oih'Wisconsin, 10th
Missouri, and llth Illinois, chased the enemy to
Meridian, capturing and killing quite a number.
Our cavalry occupied the town on Feb. H, and
remained there seven davs, destroying tbe State
Arsenal, which was filled with damaged fire-arms
and immense quantities of ammuniuon ot all
kinds, together with a large supply of copper and
lead. v
Tlie Ragsdale nnd Burton Hotels were destroyed
after the furniture had been removed, it being the
intention of General Sherman to destrov nothing
except that which might be used by the rebel Go
vernmeut. The State Arsenal was stocked with
valuable machinery for the manufacture and re
pair of small-arms and all sorts of ordoance
stores, the destruction of which will prove a se-.
rious blow to the enemy. Twelve extensive
Government sheds, a large building called the
Soldier’s Home, and a number of hospitals and
warehouses, filled with miscellaneous military
stores, were set on lire and totally destroyed.
Two large grist-mills were likewise burned, after
eur army had ground a sufficient supply of corn
meal. Twenty thousand bushels of corn fell into
our handß, nnd was speedily converted into corn
cakes for the hungry soldiers. Nearly every build
in gin Meridian was destroyed save those which
were occupied, and the smoking rains with their
blackened wglls and chimneys standing as glaut
sentinels over the sorrowful scene, sent a thrill of
pity to the hearts of those whom stern war and'
military necessity compellsd to apply foe torch.
It was part of the military programme for Gen.
Smiih’s cavalry expedition, which left Memphis,
Tenn., to operate in conjunction with Gen. Sher
man’s force, and to unite at Meridian: and it was
the failure of this portion of the plan that induced
Gen. Sherman to remain seven days in Meridian.
Gen. Sherman sent out several scenting parties as
far north as Louisville and Kosciusko, hoping to
gain some Information of Gen. Smith’s wherea
bouts, bnt was tumble to gather any intelligence of
his movements.
A number of small expeditions were sent from
Meridian in different directions, for the purpose of
destroying whatever might benefit the rebellion.
Among the places devastated were Enterprise,
Marion, Qultmaiij-Hillsboro, Canton, Lake Sta-
Decatur, Bolton, nnd Lauderdale Springs.
At Enterprise, the depot, two flour mills, 15,600
bushels of corn, 2,000 bales of fine cotton branded
C. S. A., two military hospitals, and several now
buildings connseted with a parole camp were laid
In ashes.
At Marlon the railroad station, woodhonse, and
a few small buildings were burned, Quitman was
visited, and two flour mills, a fine saw .rail], rail
road depot and other storage buildings, with sev
eral thousand feet of lumber, fell' a prey to the fire
king. At Hillsboro several stores were set on fire.’
Seventeen damaged locomotives, six locomotives
in fine running order, a number of cars, and a re.
pair shop, with hand-cars, quantities of sleepers,
and tool-house, were destroyed at Canton—afl be

The expedition returned last evening. Our loss

General Kilpatrick has come back with more
posittve evidence that Colonel Dahlgren was noth
ing less than most wantonly and inhumanly mur
dered—at least such is the interpretation be places
upon foe mode of his death. Besides other ev
ioence he obtained was a letter found at King and
Queen county Court House, written by Mrs.
Lumpkins to her husband, which letter was
sealed, a stamp placed on the envelope, and
awaiting to be forwarded to its intended destina
tion. Tins letter, foe original of which has been
given to Admiral Dahlgren, isd.Vod Wier’s Mills,
near the Court House. It says that, learning of
the approach of some of onr cavalry, their boye, as
she calls them lay in ambush anil fired on them
as they came up, killing, among others, foe Yan
kee colonel who led them. The colonel, as he fell
from bis horse exclaimed, • • Oh, I am hnrt so
bad,” upon which one of their men said to him,
• * Damn you, make haste, then, and die. ” A Mr.
Arnold is mentioned as attempting to take off his'
boots, upon which Colonel Dahlgren gave him a
kick, causing him to desist. He soon died, how
ever, and then was stripped of everything he had
on except his drawers. In his pockets were S3OO
in greenbacks. After robbing and stripping him a
hole was dug at the forks of the road, and he was
there buried. The next day Jeff. Davis sent for
his body, and it was dug up and sent on to Rich
mond.

Gen. Santa Anna arrived at Vera Crnz on Feb.
27, with his wife and child. The General is re
ported as in excellent health. His advent created
no excitement wtatever. It.was rumored that he
had recognized the French intervention on condi
tion that he should be permitted to issue a mani
festo to the Mexican people, bnt that after he had
affixed his signature to the document, he was in
formed that he wonld' not be allowed to make
public his manifesto.
It was expected that Minister Corwin wonld
leave Vera Cruz for foe United States in foe April
steamer. .
It was foe generally received opinion in well
informed circles that as soon as foe French could
organize 15,000 men from foe Foreign Legion and
the native Mexicans, they would withdraw their
main- army from Mexico, as foe number named
was regarded as sufficient to guard Maximilian.
Pardoned Isaac Fishel, confined at Carlisle

THE CAVALRY OPERATIONS UP THE YORK
RIVER.
[Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.]
ISOBKOLK, Va , March 12, ISOl. General
Kl’patrick has beep indulging in another raid.
A portion of Col. Spears’s 11th Pennsylvania
Cavalry Regiment, Col. Onderdonk's New York
MonnUd Rifles, Gen. Wlstar’s brigade of infantry
and Eattery L, 4th regulars, under Lieut. Hunt,
made up tie expedition. General Wlstar’s
brigade is comprised wholly of colored troops.
One object of the expedition was to clean
out the land pirates and guerillas who ren
dered such savage aid in the ambush and murder
of the gallant Col. Dahlgren. This object was most
effectually accomplished, together with the de
struction of a laige amenntof army stores, and
spreading a wholesome terror over a pretty wide
section of rebeldom contiguous to that occupied by
our forces on the peninsula. The expedition em
barked at Gloucester on transports, going to West
Point, and thence to King Queen conntv.
_About the first thing done was to lay In ashes
King nnd Queen county Court House. Not a
building was left standing. The ruin ot the town
was complete. About twenty buildings constituted
the town, and these old and mainly wooden struc
tures. The affrighted rebels fled before the
approach of our forces, but did not all escape.
At Carle*on’s j tore, not far from King and
Queen county Court House, were found the sth
and 9th Virginia cara’ry regiments, altogether
numbering some twelve hundred, including a
large number of citizens who had joined them.
Here was their camp, which our troops, after
routing its occupants, destroyed, together with a
mill filled with grain and other rebel property.
O ur forces chased the enemy ten miles in the direc
tion of Fredericksburg, killing and wounding a
good many and taking over thirtv prisoners.
While our caTalrj were engaged in the above
operations the infantry regiments made a tho
rough scouring of Mathews and Middlesex conn
ties. The guerillas abounding in these counties,
such as did nol make their escape in flight were
pretty thoroughly cleaned oui and a number Liken
prisoners. {Several rebel storehouses and their
contents were burned.

fessions. * w
Much of this work must be performed by the
personal influence and efforts of ladies and gentle
men associated, or to be associated, with the Com
mittee in canying out the plan.
The Comm it Ur e feel the responsibility of the work
they have undertaken, which, to be successful,
will require a very perfect ramification of their
plan, and they therefore call upon all earnest peo
ple to assemble themselves together in every town,
township and county and form organizations of
ladies and gentlemen to co-operate with them in
this great weik and labor of love. In the maun
iaciuring counties, the coal and oil regions and in
•the agricultural districts, especially, Ist there be
organizations in the larger towns, so that the
young people may have an opportunity thus to
render assistance to their relatives and friends
fighting the battles of their country in the annies of
the nation.
The work ol this Committee, may be prosecuted
where no other effort can be made for the Fair, as in
the mmeaof the coal regions. A. day’s earnings
of the miners, and a day's product of the mines
can be obtained, where no portable article could be
procured for transportation. Indeed, there is no
part or section of these States where the day’s
labor may not be obtained, if organizations can be
lormed to reach them.
The Committee cannot close without urgm
upon ail proprietors of establishments the duty of
taking prompt and energetic action to secure the
benefit of the day of labor from all within their
control.
The Committee deem it unnecessary to do more
than thuß to present the subject to the people of the
thjee Stales named. In the coming campaigns of
our armies the labors of the Sanitary Commission
will be greatly augmented. By the first of June,
TWI.UOO men—one of the largest annies of modern
t imes—will be opera mg in the field. So large a
force, scam-red over regions to which the men are
nnaeclimated, must necessarily carry along with
it a large amount of sickness, suffering and death,
to saj nothing of the gathered horrors of the
battle-field.
These sufferings it is our bounden duty, as men
andChristisns, to relieve. A great and enlightened
people, enjoying ihe blessings of a Government of
their own making, cannot re.use assistance to men
suffering to maintain its authority, and we will no f
believe tliat the
CHEAT CENTRAL FAIR,
drawing its products from the three States of
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, so
ailtneut in all mineral, agricultural and industrial
wealth, shall fall behind any similar effort which
has yet been made for the relief of the nation’s
children.
As it is desirable not to multiply circulars, no
further authority than this circular will be neces
rary for any employing Arm or company, or any
respectable committee of ladies and gentlemen to
proceed at once in the work of this committee.
Subscriptions will be immediately acknowledged
in the newspapers of Philadelphia, and it is very
desirable that they commence at once, as each fresh
acknowledgment will stimulate further effort.
All subscriptions should be addressed to John

lisment and arrested Franklin Williams, George
Swan, Wm. H. Kern, John B. Hunter, Frederica
Swan, and Geo. Hammel. The whole party had

The Late Trouble on Chesapeake Bay.
The body of Captain Theodore Reed,' recently
killed on the Chesapeake Bay, has arrived in this
city and will be buried on Sunday next, from his
late residence 108 Prime street. The three oyster
schooners captured at the time of the affair have
also reached this port They are the Margaret
late Captain Reed; the Fifield and Matthews,
Capt. Melson; and the W. H. Gatzmer, Capt!
Clark. It is reported that the crews of the vessels
were fined 35 each, and had their oysters stolen,
and that 8000 ransom was charged for the release
ot the vessels. One Capt. Long, of the Ist Mary
land regiment is accused of perpetrating these acts
of oppression; and It is said that he not only stole
the oysters but sold them In Baltimore. The
matter should he investigated by'the proper au
thorities at once. , r
Another .Strike.—The journeymen boot
and shoe makers yesterday made a formal demand
upon their employers for an advance of ‘from
twenty to twenty-five per cent, upon their wages.
Those of the < ‘bosses’ ’ who refused to accede to
the demand had to endure a strike and snspend
operations until the differences between themselves
and their journeymen can he accommodated. Be
tween the increased cost of materials, the revenue
taxes and the mercurial propensity of wages to
move upward and onward, foot-gear promises to
become a costly luxury. Boots and shoes in Phi
ladelphia are stiU far inside of Richmond prices;
but there is a very decided upward tendency

AMUSEMENTS.
The Walnut. —Last evening Edwin Adams ap
peared at the Walnut in the part of Hamlet. A
brilliant audience welcomed him and enjoyed to
tfie utmost his striking and original personation of
this difficult character . He has made the part of
the melancholy prince the subject of profound,
study, and its results "were seen in tlie exquisitely
beautiful acting of last night In the tolUoquies,
in the final scene with Ophelia, and in the closing ’
scene of the tragedy, ho was truly superb, and
gave ns many new and striking evidences of hi«
geniUß and. judgment. He was handsomely sup
ported, particularly by Mr. Tilton as the Ghost,
Mrs. Grattan as the Queen, Mr. Young as the
King, Mr. Bailey as Polonius, Mr. Hemple as the
first grave digger, and Mr. Bascomb os tha
* ‘water fly’ ’ Osric. To-night he appears as James

will have a crowded and fashionable house.'

of the Country. ’ ’ < ‘John Wopps’ ’ closes the en
