Ceneral Butler on Jeff Davis, Lee, ae.
General Butler, in a speech to the Sol
diers' Convention; now in session at Week-
ington, concludes as follows. It is of bn;
- portance, as it is known that General Buek
ler, at the request of the Cabinet last:
summer, prepared an elaborate opinion
- upon the liability to trial of the rebel leider
Robt. E. Lee.
"Passing hurriedly from the considera
tion of this proposition, I come to another
resolution that has been resolved so often,
spoken so often, declaimed so often, written
130 often,. and insisted upon so often, that
treason is a crime and ought to be made
odious, that the sentence itself has become
odious. [Laughter.]
"Everybody has got tired of it. It is said
that the soldier who has fought in -this war
is forgiving, and does not desire that any
body shall be punished; that he was willing
to kill and be killed, all in the regular way,
and, that. every body who got out of the
- way . and did not get killed ought not .to
receive any detriment. Our soldiers died
in battle were starved in prisons and mu
dered in hospitals, but they were only sol
diers. Your Representatives in the ,Con
federate Congress, your President and Vice
President of the Confederacy were not
soldiers, and it was not in their line to be
either starved in prison, murdered in hos
pital, or killed in battle.
"Well, something ought to be done with
them. They ought to die somewhere, and
I know of but one other place for them to
die. [Laughter and applp.use.] They seem
to have left us, but one resource. I have
given you, my . friends, feebly, the, sketch
of a true American soldier. Let •Me give
Yon another sketch. There was once a
soldier of the country, bearing one of its
proudest names. Intermarrying into a
family which the country delighted to honor,
who had received from a country grateful
for the deeds of, its '•ancestors, the highest
education it could afford to give, who had
been the petted soldier of the country, be
loved by his commander-in-chief, almost
the staff of his old, ape.
"When disorder, and civil commotions,
and rebellion broke out, the old chief leaned
upon the younger Soldieras upon his staff,
made him the confidant of his secrets and
deo
- P — si
the --- tory, of his plans. But suddenly
that 'soldier departed from the ranks of his,
country's service, and:within two days of
the time when his resignation was accepted,
was found fighting in the ranks of the
enemy,.and in a higher command. Daring
a long and bloody , war he saw his former
fellow officers and soldiers starved in pri
ton. -Under his very eyes saw that, from
very desperation, they burrowed out
through the ground, and never raised a
voice in their behalf, although his word was
omnipotent, and although the enemy de
pended wholly on his sword.
He saw the officers and soldiers of the
country that reared and honored him mur
dered by thousands in the prisons and never
said a word in their behalf. At last, after
every means of resistance had failed, after
having carried on a war which he knew to
be hopeless, and after having fought his
army until he diminished it to seventy-two
hundred muskets, he surrendered at last,
after - writing a, note to the commander of the
opposite army, stating that frankly he did
not consider the time of surrender had come.
" That man is now the teacher of the youth
of the country, to tell them their duty to
their flag, their country and, their God. If
this is to be so. fellow soldiers,' have we not
shed our blood in vain, and are riot our lost
comrades simply murdered, uselessly , mur
dered, without hope in this world and only
with hope in the resurrection? What is the
plea to be interposed in favor of this man?
The right of Secession. That he went with
his State.
"But suppose that that plea is a false one,
what shall we say then? Robert E. Lee re
signed his commission on the 19th of April,
1861, at the same time that our neighbors
were murdered in Baltimore. On the 17th
day of the same April, Virginia had passed
an ordinance of secession, which was not to
take effect milli voted on by the people, on
the third Tuesday of May, five weeks after-.
wards.
"On the 19th of April, I say, General Lee
resigned his commission, or rather it was
accepted on that day, after it had been
through the various offices of the Depart
ment, in ,Washington, and on the 22d of
April he was appointed Commander-in-
Chief of the rebel forces in Virginia. His.
State had not then seceded, but, on the con
trary, he, at the point of the bayonet, carried
her out of the Union, and forced the vote on
the third Tuesday of May following.
"Yet there has not been strength enough
in this Government, so far, a Government
that could pnt a million.of men in the field
at oncS, and that did, in the last campaign,
put into the field one million six hundred
thousand men, to bring that man to trial,
and ascertain whether or not treason is a
crime and ought to be punished. [Ap-
plause.]
"I have not spoken yet of another and
greater, no, another and different criminal.
I am now speaking of a man who, I think,
can be, within the spirit of year resolution,
tried by a military commission, and to
which all the people will say amen! I put
it to you, fellow-soldiers, as military men,
whether deserting the flag of our nation,
and-taking service within two days after
-wards in the ranks of the enemy, is not a
military crime for which a man is amenable
to a military tribunal?
"I think there can be no doubt upon that
question ; I would like to see him tried for
that military offence; I do not think that
any subsequent parole, got out of too much
credulity that the time had not come to sur
render - the Northepi Army of Virginia,
would be a good plea. I desire to see that
man tried, so that it may be understood
hereafter that it is death upon the gallows
for any man to desert his flag and take ser
vice with the enemies of his country. [Great
applause;]
"Turn we to another man for whom there
are other considerations of excuse—to Jef
ferson Davis, educated in the like school.
Unfortunate, perhaps, for the school that it
should have two such pupils, who went into
the military service of his country, where
he behaved horiorp.bly and well. I do not.
• know but that I might have to apply to him
the saying of a rough Whig to Arnold, in
the days of the revolution.
"Arnold asked him what would be done
to him if he was caught by the Americans.
`Why,' said the Whig, I think we should
bury the leg that was wounded at Quebec
with all the honors of war, and hang the
rest of you on a gibbet.' So with Davis, we
might have to bury with the honors of war
one arm'that was wounded inMexico, and
hang the rest of him. [Laughter and ap
plause.]
"He - had the plea, however, which the
soldier had not: that his State had seceded.
Waiting . until Missistiippi went out, Jeffer
son DBMS quits the ,Halls of Congress to
take the office of Provisional President in
the Confederate States, an office created and
made ready for him as soon as he should be
ready to ta.ke it. He t all powerful in the
Confederacy, with a will of iron, with pray
ers and proclamations to the Divine mercy
on his lips, stands by and sees our coma'
rades starved and murdered, day by day.
eA
kthink it is of no great consequence
whether it can be proved or not that he
, directly. ordered it. Certain it is, that it
could not have been done if he did riot wish
it. He sees the horrors of Andersonville
and doei nothing to prevent them. Whether
or not he had any complicity in the last
'great act of, infamdus guilt, the murder of
the_President, no man may yet know, but
whether.he had or not, I desire to see him
tried by a military commission, as the tri
' bunal which arose out of the ; power that he
evoked for the , purpose of severing the

loyal to the flag and the country which gage
them birth, and what do you think was the
answer of Gen. Pickett to the general officer
who demanded an explanation, and wrote
to him that retaliation might be taken On
officers of the Confederacy:?;_-
" The answer was, 'lf the officers on
whom you retaliate are those who have de
serted from the United States service, and
enlisted into the Confederate State service; I
think you would do right ,to hang them.'
We happened to, have in our hands no such
officers at that moment, but I thought their
suggestion an exceedingly good one,coming
from Mr. Pickett, who had himself deserted
the service of the United States and gone
into the service of the Confederacy, I think
that letter of Gen. Pickett is eminently sug
gestive of what is our duty."
WHO MR. FICRETT 18.
The Mr. ...Pickett whom General Butler
alludes to, is now trying to get , a .pardon
from the President. , In .the Spiing of 1864,
he hung twenty-two Union soldiers, whom
be had taken as prisonerS of • war, near
Kingston, North Carolina, theyhaving been
impressed and forced , to serve in the rebel
army, and deserting first to * our lines,
enlisted in the Union army. He then, in
order to defy our Government, declared that
he would hang ten of our prisoners t'or every
one we hung in retaliation. His threat was
respected, and none were retaliated upon,
and now the most strenuous efforts are
being made to get him pardoned,
PENNSYLV_AND THE WAR.
Interesting Report of the Adjutant.
General.
The Adjutant-General of Pennsylvania
very appropriately begins his Report by a
reference to the military organizations. of
Pennsylvania that were in the field twelve
months ago. At that period the Common
wealth had in the field two hundred and
ten regimental organizations, and many
unattached companies of infatitry and
cavalry, and independent batteries of artil
lery. To-day our State has in the service
of the United States six , regiments of in
fantry, one regiment of artillery, and one
battalion of cavalry.
There were organized during the past
year, under the President's call of December
19, 1564 , three regiments of infantry, com
prising 2,657 men. There were raised and
sent to regiments in the field, 75 companies,
numbering 6,988 men, forming an aggre
gate strength of 9,645 men. During the year
the Superintendents of the volunteer re
cruiting of the State sent to the field, to be
incorporated with the regiments in the ser
vice, 9,133 volunteers, and 6,675 drafted
men. The State, in the same period, far
nished 387 soldiers to the regular army,
making a grand total for the year 1865, and
the first three months of the current year,
25,840 men.
Since tbe cessation of hostilities, and up
to November last, 1,557 Pennsylvanians en
tered the regular army.
The quotas of the State from the breaking
out of the rebellion are next given in the
report.
Under the first call for troops, volun
teers for three months, the State sent 20,979
men.
The first quota was sent to the field as an
organized army, under general officers se
lected by the Governor from among those
commanding the volunteer troops of the
State. In this respect it differed from the
mode of procedure under other calls, where
men were furnished by regiments, and sub
sequently brigaded under general officers
appointed by the President.
Under the act of July 22d, 1861, authoriz-'
in g four independent regiments to be raised
in Pennsylvania, there were furnished 4,711
men.
The Reserve Volunteer Corps of Pennsyl
vania, organized by act of Pennsylvnaia
Legislature of 15th May,l36l,and called into
United States service July 22,1861, numbered
15,856 men.
On requisitions of the President, under
act of Congress of July 22, 1861, together
with organizations authorized by the War
Department, to be raised by individuals,and
afterwards, by order of the War Depart
ment, September 25, 1861, placed under the
control of the Governor, there were raised
one hundred and thirty-six regiments, with
an aggregate strength of 15,100 men, and
eight batteries of artillery for three years,
and one for one year,numbering 1,358 men.
Recruits for three years' regiments for
warded by Captains Dodge and Lane, and
Lieutenant-Colonel Ruff, superintending
volunteer recruiting service, at Harrisburg
and Philadelphia,during 1862, 9,259.
Enlistments of Pennsylvania in organi
zations of other States and in the regular
army, to December 31,1862. estimated. 5,000.
During the year 1863 the 19th regiment of
cavalry was raised for the United States
services, and the State raised a body of
militia for its own defence. The report says.
the aggregate strength of the "Emergency"
militia was 7,062, officers and men.
It thus appears that the total force
organized in the Depr rtment of t!.'e Monon
gahela was 5,166, and in the Department of
the Susquehanna 31,422.
Recruits forwarded to regiments in ser
vice, by Captains Dodge and Lane, superin
tending volunteer recruiting service at Har
risburg and Philadelphia, during the year
1863, 4,458.
Enlistments for the regular army, as re
ported' by returns of United States recruit
ing officers, 934.
In the.year 1864, on special authority from
the War Department, there were raised for
the term of three years, eleven regiments,
containing 9,867 men. Under the call , of
July 6, for one hundred days' men, the
State furnished 7,67,5 men, Under the call.
of July 27,,f0r 600,000 men, we raised and
furnished ten regiments, numbering 16,094
men.

An official list of casualties has not yet
been prepared. Though the Adjutant ex
erted himself to do so in season for the pre
sent report, the exigencies of the war pre—
vented this desirable and praiseworthy
object.
All the regimental flags and standards
which had been issued to Pennsylvania or
ganizations, under the, authority of joint
resolutions of the Legislature of May 16,
1861, and, at the date of the last annual
report, returned to be deposited among the
archives of the State, as provided by law,
have been places under the charge of the
Quartermaster-General, and all returns
since that period have been made directly to
that officer. •
The report concludes with a statement o
the disbursements of. the Adjutant-Gene
rat's office for the fiscal yearendingNovem
ber 30, 1865. The sum total is but .935,
209 93.
It is a fact not generally known that
arr extensive industry, analagous to our
oil-boring, exists in the heart of the
European continent, and it will be a
source of comfort to those who lament
over the irregular and blundering man
agement of The business among us, to
know that the processes of the Old
World are, if possible, more crude and
clumsy than our own. Mining-Engi
neer Jicinsky describes the naphtha and
earthwax production of Austrian Ga
licia thus:
"Whoever now visits Borislay sees be
fore him a second California—a busy
activity, of which no idea can be ob
tained except by personal observation.
Windlass stands close to windlass, and
workman to workman, while among
them peep the eager buyers and sellers of
the fresh naphtha and wax, with a shout
ing and confusion like that of a great
fair."
From various sources we learn that in
a very small district there are no les:
than five thousand to six thousand wells
now in operation, and as many more
already caved in. They are twenty-five
to one hundred and seventy feet deep,
and generally over twelve feet apart.
Sometimes they are so close together
that the men at the windlasses interfere
with each; and so irregularly are the
shafts sunk that it is not uncommon for
two neigboring ones to run together in
depth.
These wells are not bored like those or
Venango county, Pennsylvania, bu;
dug, like the surface wells of luniskillen,
Canada West. The escape of noxious
and inflammable gasses is so great as to
prevent the sinking of deeper shafts.
In these wells the oil is allowed to
collect, and then taken out, together
with much water, by means of buckets.
The productiveness of the wells varies
greatly. Some furnish but one to four
buckets of oil, 'holding seven gallon
each, per week; others, more favorably
situated, yield from forty to one hundred
buckets. A hundred-bucket well of
Galicia would be equivalent to a two
barrel well on Oil creek; but it must b
remembered that naphtha is worth more
than petroleum.
The productiveness varies also as to
time. Some of the wells have already
given oil uninterruptedly for three or
four years; others have become exhaust
ed in six months or a year.
Aboutone hundred and fifty wells are
now producing wax—in the aggregate
about two tons per week—of which some
furnish but the smallest traces, and
others three to twenty hundred weight
daily.
Petroleum in Austria.
The present annual production of
Borislay is ninety thousand hundred
weight of naptitha,land forty-five thou
sand of wax.
This mineral wax,known to mineralo
oists as ozokerite,is a peculiar compound
of carbon and hydrogen, containing 85.7
per cent. of the former and 14.3 per cent.
of the latter; by direct light greenish, by
reflected light yellowish and reddish in
color, very soft, melting easily to a clear
oil which hardens again on cooling; com
bustible at a high temperature, with a
clear flame and almost withoutresiduum.
It is extensively used for the manufac
ture of candles.
The geological formation in which
these products occur is tertiary, being
the Eocene sandstones of the Carpathian
range.. It will be seen at ence that this
is much more recent than the petroleum
deposits of Canada or the United States
east of the Rocky Mountains.
The shiftlessness of the naphtha miners
is explained by the fact that they are
Galician peasants, without, skill or ex
perience; and that this branch Of mining
is not regulated by law, as are the older
and longer known. Steps are now
takinglor the Introduction of proper
system into this :field; and the produc
tiveness of Galicia will doubtlessincrease
under the impulse of added skill and
capital.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 24.—The Anti-Registra

Hon. Montgomery Blair was elected Pre

that the Union party themselves, in this

THE NEW OnixAbis SHELL ROADS.-LAll
who had ever enjoyed a ride along the New
Orleans "Shell roads," will be interested in
the following, from the Picayune :—A con
truct.forrepairing and.keeping in repair the
shell roads of the. city, for three years, is to
be adjudicated•on the let February, sealed
proposals for the work to be for warded to
the - office- of - the - City- Controller:- _ The
work is to be done by one contractor, as the
Bureau of Streets and Landings consider
that the division of it amongst three con
tractors, as it was arranged when it was last
let out, resulted in their crowding each
other in the matter of purchasing shells, and
occasionally a small capitalist was thrown
out of the market, and his contract unful
filled. What wisdom there is in this view
of the case, if any, time will tell, we suppose.
The last contracts were sold in 1861. That
for keeping the shell roads above Canal
streetin order, for two years, at $6,800 per
annum ; and that for those below Canal
street (excepting on the northea.st side of
Canal Carondelet, and sontheast side of Ba
you St. John,) for two years, at $11,975 per
annum. We could not learn what the other
contract was sold for. Judging by these
figures, and the largely increased price of
shells, the proposed contract will amount to
a large sum.
