BIOGRAPHICAL SkETCH OF
ozzir.urn. 9. BUTLER; OF KENTILICFEY;
=
In memoirs of individuals of distinction, it is urn
al to look back toe their zinced. The feeling, Ix
.universalwhich prompts ns to l earn something of
even ordinary acquaintance in whom interest is felt
It will indulge, therefore, only a natural and proper
euriositi to introduce the subject of this notice by a
short account of a' family whose striking traits sur
vive in him co remarkably..
General Butler's grandfather, Thomas Butler,
was-born Bth April;;l7.2o, in Kilkenny, Ireland. He
ttinrried there in 1742. Three of his five sons who
Misdeed manhood, Richard, William, and Thomas,
were born abroad. Pierce; the father ofGeneral
iiitro 'O. Butter,_ and Edward, the youngeat son,
were horn in Penrisylvenia. It is" remarkable"that
all these men, and all their immediate male de.seenda
ants ; With a single exception, were engaged in the
military service of this country.
Tticteldest, RiChard, WWI lieutenant colonel of
Morgan's celebrated rifle regiment, and to him it
owed much °film high eharueterThat gave it a fume
olds own, apart from theother corps of the revolu
tion. The cool, deie;plined valor which gave stea
dy and:tleailly direction to the ritles of the regiment,
was derived principally from this officer, who de
voted himself to the drill of hiv'mon. Ho was pro
moted to the full command of a regiment some time
during' the war, and in that capacity commanded
Waptc 7 z left in the attack on Stony Point- About
the year 1790, he wag appointed major-general.
On thel4th of Novernber ; l79l, Le was killed in Gen.
St. Clitir's bloody battle .with tho Indiars. His com
bat with the Indians, after be was shot, gave such a
peculiar interest to his tate, that , a representation of
himself and the group turroundaig him was exhibited
throughout the Uniorrin wax 'figures. Notices of
this accomplished soldier will be found in Marshall's
Life olWashington, pages 290;511, 420. In Gen.
St. Cl,'. report, in the Amgrican Museum, volume
xi, page 44, appendix.
William Butler, the second ion, wan an officer
throughout the revolutionary war, rose to the rank
of colonel,' and was in many of Me severest battles.
He, was the favorite of the family, and, was boasted
of by this race of heroes as the; coolest and boldest
man in battle they had ever known. When the ar
my wai grtatly reduced in rank d file, and -there
were many superfluous officers, they organised them
selves into a separate corps, and elected him to the
command. General Washington declined receiving
this navel corps of commissioned soldiers, but, in
a proud testimonial, did honor to their devoted pa
triotism.
Of themes Butler, the third son, we glean the
ffillowing facts fredo the .Aierican Biographical Die
. tionary. An the year.l776, whilst he was student of
law in the office of the eminent Judge Wilson, of
Philadelphia, he left his pursuit, and joined the army
as a subaltern.. He soon obtained the command
a company, in which.he continued to the close of the
revolutionary war., He was in almost every action
fought. in the middle States during the war. .At the
battle of Brandywine ho received the thanks of
• IVishingten on the field of haide,through his aid
de-eanapr, Gen. Hamilton, for his intrepid conduct in
rallying a detachment of retreating troops. and giv
ing the enemy a severe fire. At the battle of Mon
mouth be received the tanks ' ; of Gen. Wayne for
defending adefile, in the face of a - severe fire from
the enemy, While Col. Richard BUtlei's regiment
made good its retreat.
At the closeof the war he retired into private life,
as a farmer: and continued in the erkiyment arum]
and domestic happiness until theyear 1781, when he
again took the'field to meet the savage foe that me
nuerd our western frontier. He commanded a bat
talion in the disastrous battle of iNovember 4, 1791,
in which his brother fell. Orders were given by Gen.
St. Clair to charge with the bayonet, and Major But
ler, 'though his leg bad been briaken by a ball, yet
on horseback, led' his battalion to the charge. It'
was with difficulty .hts surviving brother,Captain Ed
ward 1301er, removed him from the field. 1n'1792
he waXemitittued in the establishment as major, and
in 1794 he was - Promoted to the rank of lieutenant
commandment of the-4th sub-legion. Itheidnmatid
ed MAW. year Fort Fayette, at Pittsburg, and tire
vented the deluded insurgents from taking it-more
by his name thanby his_ forces, fur he had but few
troops. The clime of triable was embittered with
trouble. - In 1803 he wait arrested by the command
ing general (Wilkinsoo)Oit Fort Adams, on the Mis
sissippi, and seat to Maryland, where be was . tried
by a court martial, and acquitted of all the charges,
save that of toraring Ms hair. He was then ordered
to New
_Orleans, where he arrived, to take command
of the'iraops, October 20th. Ile was again arrested
next Month ; • bid the court did not sit until July of
the next year,and their dee'sionis not known. Col.
Butler died• September 7, ISO& Out of the arrest
and persecution of thit sturdy veteran, 'Washington
Irving (Knickerbocker) has worked np a fine piece
of burlesque, in which General Wilkinson's
charac
ter IS inimitably, delineated in that of the vain and
-pompons General Von Polletthurg.
Percival Butler, the fiiiirth inn, father of General
Win. 0 ? Butler, was born at Carlisle, Pennsylvania,
in 1760.- Ile entered the armyes a lieutenant at the
age of eighteen t. veas with .Washington: at Valley
-Forge.; was in the battle of Monmouth, and at the
takingof Yorktown—treingthrough the whole series
of struggles in the - Middle States, with thi troops
_under the..commander-in-chief, except fora short
perind, when he was attached to a light corps corn-. •
manded by Lafayette, who preiented bit with a
sword. Near - the Chase Of the war, he went to the
sinth.with•the.Pentiaylvania brigade,. where. peace
found 111 , emigrated to Kentaiky in 178.4.
He was the last of the old -Jock left when the-war
of 1812 commenced. He was made adjutant gene
tal.When_lterituehy became. a State, and in that r.a.:
4raeityjoined one'ofthe armies sent out by Kentucky
during the war.
Edward Butler, the youngest of the five brothers,
was too, young to enter the army in the Gratakts
'1)014 revolution', but joined . ..It near the cloim, and
had risen to a captaincy: when Gen.. St. Clair took
the command, and Led it to thatdisastrous defeat in
which so many:Of:4h° best soldiers of the country.
perished: He there evinced the highest courage and
'strongest fraternal affection, in carrying his Wounded
brother:Mit of the, massacre, which wait - continued
for miles.along-the meteor. the retreating army, and
from which so few escaped, even of those who fled.,
unencumbered. : He subsequently , became adjutant
general in WaynOtarmy.'
Of these five brothers, four had sonsall of whom,
with one exception, wore engaged in the military or
naval service of the country during the last war.
Ist. General Richard Butler's son William, died
a lieutenant in the navy, early in the lest war. His
e'en, Capiain James Butler, was at the head of the
Pittsburgh Bluda, which company he commanded in
the campaigns of the northwest, and was particulat
ly distinguished in theltattle of Mississinuawa.
2d. -- Col. William !utter, also of the revolutionary
army, had two vane; one died in the navy, th : e other
ivsubaltern Xn:Waynn , s army. Ile was in the battle
with the Indian, in 1794.
3d. Limit. Col. Thomas Butler, of the old stock,
had' three sons; the eldest a judge. The second,
Col. Robert Butler, was at the bead of Gen. Jaeliron , a
staff throughout the last war. The third, William
Butler, also served in the army of Gen. Jackson.,
4th: Percival Butler, captain in the revolutionary
war,Xind adjutant puma) of Kentucky during the
last war, had four son,: first, Thomas, who was
captain, and aid. to Gen, Jackson at New Orleans;
pelt; Gen. William O. Butler, the subject of this no
tice; third, Richard, who was nauseant adjutant
general in the campaigns of the war of 1312. Per
cival Beller, the youngest son, now a distinguished
lawyer, was not of an, age to bear arms in the last
war. Of the second generation of the Butlers,there
are nine certainly, and probably, more, engaged in
the present war. •
Trtis glance at the family, shows the character of
the race. An anecdote, thrived from a letter of an
old Pennsylvania frjend of the parents, who trans.
plattteditt:rcim . Ireland, shows that its military in
at nct was an inheritance. w While the Bretons : "
says the letter, y were
.abeept frordhome-in the ser
vice of the country, the old father took it in his head
to go also. Tho neighbors collected to remonstrate

of the causes of the disaster at the riser Raisin, - the
consequence of this movement, nor to give the par- ,
titulars of the battle.' The incidents which signal.,
ized the character ache subject of this memoir alone'
are proper here.
There were two battles at the river Raisin— one
on the 18th, the other on the 22d ofJanuary.' In thei
firstohe whole body of Indian warriors, drawn to ,
gether from all the lake tribes, for the defence of
Upper Canada against the approaching Kentuckians,
were encountered. In moving to the attack of this
fermidatile force of the fiercest, and' bravest, and
most expert warriors on the continent, o strong party'
of them were descried from their line with which
Ensign Butler advanced, running forward to roach`
a fence, as a cover from which to ply their rifles.
Butler instantly proposed, and was permitted, to an..irt.,
ticiptie them. Calling upon some of the most 'd
and ortiie men of the company, he ran directly to
meet the Indians at the fence. Heand hisconirades
outstripped the enemy; and, geeing possession of
the lento, kept the advantage of the position for
their advancing friends. This incident, of however
little impi.rtanee ante reunite, is worth remembrance
in giving the traits of a young soldier's character.
It is said that tho hardiest veteran, at the opening of
the fire in battle; feels, for the moment, somewhat
appalled, and Gen. Wolfe, one of the bravest ofmnn,
declared that the "horrid yell of the Indian strikes
the boldest heart with affright , ' The strippling stu
dent, who, for the first time, beheld a field of battle
on the.seows of the ricer Raisin, presenting in bold
relief long files of those terrible enemies, whose
massacres had filled his native-State with, tales of
horror, mint have felt some stirring sensations. But
the crack of the Indian rifle, and his savage yell,
awoke in him the chivalric instincts of his nature;
and the promptitude with which be conttnnnicated
his enthusiasm to a few comrades annul, and rush:.
ed forward to mectdangcr in its most appalling form,
riskieg himself to save other'', end to secure a tri
umph which he could scardely hope to share, gave
earnest ot the military talent, the self sacrificing
courage, and the soldierly sympathies which have
drawn to him the nation's esteem. The close of the
battle of the ISth gave another instance iu which
those latter traits of Gen. Butler's character were
st.II more strikingly illustrated. The Indians, driv
en from the defences around the town on the river
Raisin r retired fighting into the thick woods beyond
it. The c ntcet of sharp-shooting from tree to tree
was here continued—the Kentuckians pressing for.
ward, and the Indians retreating—until night closed
in, when the Kentuckians were recalled to the en
campment in the village. The Indians advanced as
their opposers withdrew, and kept up .the fire until
the Kentiltkians emerged from the woods into the
open ground.' Just as the column to which Ensign
Butler belonged reached the verge of the dark Air
iest, the voice ors wounded man who had been left
some distance behind, was heard calling out most
piteously for help. Butler induced three ends com
pany to go back in the woods with him, to bring him
'off. He was found, and they fought their way back
—4ine of the men, Jeremiah Walker, received 'a
shot, of which he'subsequently died.
111 the second sanguinary battle of the river Raisin,
on the 22d of January, with the British and Indians,
another act of self devotion was performed by But
ler. After the route and massacre of the right wing,
belonging to Well's command, the whole force of
the British and Indians was concentrated against the
small body of troops under Major Madison, that
maintained their ground within the picketed gardens.
A double barn, commanding the plat of ground on.
which the KentuCkians stood, was approached on
one side by the Indians, under the cover of so or
chard and fence; the British, on the other aide, be
ing so posted as to command the space between it
and the pickets. A party in the rear of the barn
were discovered advancing to take possession of it.
All saw the fatal consequences of the secure lotlg- ,
wet of the enemy at .a place which 'would present
every man within the pickets at cloS6 rifle shot to
the aim of their marksmen. Major Madison inquir
ed if there was no one who would volunteer to run
the gauntlet of the fire of the British and Indian HEM'S,
and put a torch to the combustibles within the barn,
to ease the remnant of the little army Gem sacrifice.
Butler, without a moment's &fay, took some blaring
sticks from a fire at hand, leaped the pickets, and,
running et his utmost speed, thrust the fire into the
straw within the barn. One who was an anxious
spectator of the event we narrate, says, that al
though volley upon volley was fired at' him, Butler,
niter making some steps on his way back, turned to
see if the tire had fatten, and, not being satisfied,
returned to the barn, and set it in a blare. As the
conflagration grew, the enemy was seen retreating.
from the rear of the building, which they bad enter
ed at one end as the flame ascended in the other.'
Soon after reaching the pickets in safety, amid the
ehoutscif his friends,
be was struck by a ball in his
breast.l , Believing, from the pain he felt, that it had
penetrated his chest, turning to Adjutant (now Gen
eral) ohe of , his Lexingtou comrades, and
pressing his hand to the 'pot, he said," I fear this
shot is mortal ; but while I am able to move, I will
do my duty!' -To the anxious inquiries of this
friend, who met him soon afterward again, he open
ed 11111 alit, with a smile, and showed him that the n
hall had spent itself on the thick wadding of his
coat and on his breast bone, Ile suffered, however,
for many weeks.
The little band within the pickets, which Win
chester had surrendered, atter being carried himself
a prisoner into Proctor's camp, denied his powers.
They continued to hold the enemy at bay until they
were enabled to capitulate on honorable terms,
which, nevertheless, Proctor shamelblly violated,
by" leaving the trick and wounded who were unable
to walk to the tomahawk of his allies. Butler, who
was among the few of the wounded who escaped
the massacre, wad marched through Caeada to Port
Niagara—suffering under his wound, and every pri
vation —oppressed with grief, hunger, fatigue, and
the inclement cold of that desolate region. Even
here he forgot himself, and his mind wandered back
to the last night scene which he surveyed on the
bloody, shores of the river Raisin. Ho gave up the
heroic part, and became the school boy again, and
commemorated hi■ sorrows for his lost friends in
verse, like somo passionate, heart-broken lover.
Theao elegiac strains were never intended for any
but the eye of mutual friend's, whose sympathies,
like hie own, poured out tears with their plaints
over the dead. We give some of these lines of his
boyhood, to show that the heroic youth had a bosom
not less kind than bravo.

Shortly after his return from Canada; Ensign But
ler wai promoted tu • captaincy iu the regiment to
which he belonged. But as this promotion was in
regular., being made over the heads of senior officers
in that regiment, a captaincy was given him in the
94th, a newly raised regiment. When freed- from
parole, by exchange, in 1819, ho instantly entered
4?n active duty, with a companiy whtcb be had te
e:raked at Nashville, Tennessee. His regiment was
Ordered to join General Jackson in the south; but
Captain Butler, finding its movement!! too tardy,
pushed on, and effected that Junction with his com
pany alone. General Call, at that time an officer in
Captain Butler's company, (since governor of Flori
da,) in a letter addressed to Mr. Tanner, of Ken
tucky, present., as an eyg-witness„ in graphically
the share which Captain /hder had in the campaign
which followed, that it ma f well supersede any nar
rative at second hand.
Fie : I avail myself of the earliest leisure I have
had since the receipt of your letter of the 18th of
February, to give you a ruply.
A difference of political sentiments vvilt riot induce
me to withbold,the narrative you have requested, of
the military services of Col. 'Win. 0. Butler, during
the late war with Great Britain, while attached to
the army of the Louth. My intimate association with
in camp, on the. match, and in the field, has
perhaps made mo us well acquainted with his merits,
as a gentleman and soldiet, as any other man living.
And although we are now standing in oppoxiteirankS,
I cannot forget the days and eights we have stood,
side by side facing the ionmon . enerny of our coun
trp, sharing the same fatigues, dangers, end priva
tions, and participating in the same pleasures and
c• joymenta. The feelings and sympathies springing
- from such associations in the days of our youth can
never he removed or impaired, by a difference of
opinion, with regard to men or measures, when each
may well believe the other equally sincere as him
self, and w here - the most ardent desire of both is to
rustain the honor the happiness, and prosperity of
our country. ,
. Soon alter my appoielment in ' the army of the
United States, as a lieutenant, in the fall of 1814, 1
was ordered to join the company of Captain Butler,
of the 44th regiment orinliantry, then at Nashville
'Tennessee. When I arrived and reported myself, I
found the company under orders to join our regi
ment in the south. • The march—mostly through an
unsett . ed wilderness—was conducted by Capt. But
ler with his usual promptitude and cutrgy; and, by
forced and rapid movements, we arrived at Fort
Montgomery, the headquarters of Gcn. Jackson, a
Short dirtance abi ye the Florida line, just in time to
follow our beloved general in his bold enterprise to
drive the enemy from his strong position in a neu
tral territory. The vanguard of the army destined
for the invasion of Louisiana bad made Pensacola
its headquarters, and the British navy in the Gulf of
Mexico had rendezvoused in, that beautiful bay.
The penetrating sagacity of Gen. Jackson discov
ered the advantage of the position assumed by the
British forces; and, with a decision and energy
which never faltered, he resolved to find his enemy,
even under the Sig of a neutral power. This was
done by a prompt and rapid march, surprising and
cutting off all the advanced pickets,until we arrived
within gue-:hot of the fort at Pensacola. The army
of Gcn. Jacksen, was then so inconsiderable as to
render a reinforcement of a single company, com
manded by such an officer as Capt. Ilutleron impor
tant acquisition. And although there were several
companies of troops ordered to march from Tennes
see at the same time, Capt. Buttes's, by his extraom
dinary energy and promptitude, was the only one
which arrived in time to join the expedition. His
company formed a part of the centre column of at
tack at Pensacola. The street we entered was de
fended by a battery in front, which fired on us inces
santly, while several strong block-houses,-on our
flanks, discharged upon us small arms and artillery.
But a gallant - and rapid charge soon carried the gaga
in front, and the town Immediately surrendered.
In this fight Capt. Butler, led his company with his
usual intrepidity. He had one officer, Lieut. Flour
noy, s-verely wounded, and several non commisiom
ed officers and privates killed and wounded.
From Ponsacula,after the object of the expedition
was completed, by another prompt and rapid mere
-1 moot sr, e arrived at New Orleans a few weeks before
the appearance of the enemy.
On the 2311 of December, the signal gen announ
ced iho approach of the enemy.. The previous night
they had surprised and captured one of our pickets;
tat ascended a bayou ' disembarked, and had taken
possession of the left bank of the Mississippi, with
in six Miles of New Orleans. The energy of every
officer was put in requisition, to concentrate our
forces in time to meet the enemy. Capt. Butler was
one of the first to arrive at the General's quarters,
and ask instructions; they were received, and
promptly executed. Our regiment, stationed on the
opposite side,
was transported acres; the river. AU
the availableforces of our army, not much exceed.
ing fifteen hundred men, were concentrated in the
city; and while the sun went down, the line of bat
tle was formed, and every officer took the station
asaigne4itn in the fight. The infantry formed ern.
the open square, In front of the cathedral, waiting
in anxibus expectation for the order to move. Du
ring this momentary pause, while the enemy was ex
pected,to, enter the e ty, a scene of deep and thrilling
interest was rreseuted. Every gallery, porch and
window emend the square was filled with the fair
.forms of beauty, in silent anxiety and alarm, waving
their handkerchiefs to the gallant and devoted band
which Mood before them, prepared to die or defend
them from the rode intrusion of a foreign soldiery.
It was a scene calculated to awaken emotions never
to be forgotten. It appealed to the chivalry and pa
triotism of every officer and soldier—it inspired
every heart, and nerved every arm for battle. From
this itnpreai ive scene, the army. marched to meet
Anti - Rimy; ant about eight o'clock at night, they
were surprised in their entamprrent, immediately
on the banks of the Mimic, Undis, o Tied, our
line was farmed in silence within a eh, rt ii da n ce of
the enemy i a rapid charge was made into their
camp antra desperate conflict ensued. After a
moat determined resistance, the enemy gave way,
but disputing every inch of ground we gained. In
advancing over ditches and fences in the night, ren
dered still more dark by the smoke of the battle,
much confusion necessarily ensued, and many offi
cers became separated • from their commands. It
more than once occurred dering the fight, that some
of onir officers, through miaf t ike, entered tho enemy's
finest and the British officers in like manner entered
ours. The meretorious officer in command of our
regiment, at the commencement of the battle, lost
his position , in the darkness and confusion, and was
unable to regain it until the action was over. In
this manner, for a short time, the regiment was with
out a commander, and its movements were regulated
by the platoon officers, which increased the coati
sion and irregularity of the advance. In this criti
cal situation, and in the heat of the battle, Capt.
Butler, as the senior officer present, assumed corn—
mand of the regiment; and led it onmoat gallantly
to repeated and snecessive • charges, until the fight
ended in the complete rout of the enemy. We were
still pressing on their rear; when an officer of the
general's staff rode up and ordered the pursuit dis
continued. Capt. Butler urged its continuance, and
expressed the confident belief of his ability to take
many prisoners, if permitred to advance. But the
'order was promptly repealed, under the well found
ed apprehension that our troops might come in eol
lision each other...an event which had unhap.
pity occurred at a previous hour of the fight. No
corps on that field was more bravely led to battle
than the regiment commanded byCapt. Butler; and
no officer of any rank, savethe commander-in.chief,
was entitled to higher credit for the actfievinent of'
that storing night.
• A short time before the battle:of the Sth ofJanu
ary Captain Butler was detailed to command the
guard in front (.1' the encampment. A house mod
ing near the bridge, in adVariti 7 saf.hiir multi* had
been taken possesslon of by the-Ilight troops , of the

was but a slaughter of the enemy, with trivial loss
on our part, and presenting few instances of indi

Captain Butler received the brevet rank of major
for his gallant servicesduring that eventful campaign,
and the reward of merit. was never more worthily

General Jackson's sense of the services of cutler
in this memorable campaign, was strongly expressed
in tbc following letter toe member of the Kentucky'
legislature:,
Hientsrrstoz, Feb. 20,1843.
MY DEAR Bra: You ask me to gave you my opin
ion of the military services of the then Capt. (now
Colonel) Wm. 0. Butler, of Kentucky, during the
ihrestmentof Kew Orleans by the British force fill
1814 and 1815—I wish I had sufficient strength to"
epeakfully of the merit and the service of Cul. But
ler on that occasion; this strength I have nut. Suf
fice it to say, that on all occasions be displaydd that
heroic chivalry, and czlmness of judgment in the
midst of danger, which distinguish the valuable of:
facer in the hour of battle. In a conspicuous man
ner were those noble qualities displayed by him on
the night of the 23d December, 1814, and on the Bth
of January, 7815, as well as at all times during the
presence of the British army at. New Oilcans. in .
short, he was to be found at all points where duty
called. 1 hazard nothing in saying, that should 'our
country again be engaged in war during the active
ago of Col. Butler, he would be one of the very best
selections that could be made to command our army,
and lead the eagles of our'country on to factory and
renown. He .has sufficient energy to assume all re
sponsibility necessary to succe,s, and for his coma-
try's good. ANDREW JACKSON..
General Jackson gave earlier proof of the high es
timation in which he held the young soldier who bad
identified him with his own glory at New Orleans.
Ho made him his aid-decamp in 1816, which station
he retained on the peace establishment with the rank
of colonel. But, like his illustrious patron, he soon
feltthat military station and distinction had noeharms
for him when unattended with- the dangers, duties,
and patriotic achievements of war. Ile resigned,
therefore, even the associatiOn with his veteran
chief, of wh:ch he was so proud, and retired in 1817
to private life. He resumed his study of the Profes
sion that was interrupted by the war, married, and
settled down on his patrimonial possession at the .
confluence of the Kentucky and Ohio rivers, in the
noiseless hut arduous vocations, of civil life. The
region around him was wi'd and romantic, sparsely
settled, and by pastoral people. There are no pop
ulous towns. The high, rolling, and yet rich lands
—the precipitous cliffs of the Keatucky, of Eagle,
Severn, and other tributaries which pour into it near
the mouth, make this section or the State still; to
some extent, a wilderness of thickets--of the tangled
pea-vine, the grape-vine, and nut-bearing trtes,
which rendered all Kentucky, until the intrusion of
the whites, one great Indian park- The whole his
talent domain was piresserved by the Indians as a .
pasture for buffalo, deer, elk, and other animals—
their crjoymeot alike as a chase 'and a sobsistence
—by excluding every tribe Deal fixing a habitation
in it. Its name consecrated it as the dark and bloody
ground ; and war pursued every foot that trod it.
In the midst of this region, in April 1791, Wm.
0. Butler was burn, in Jessamine county, on the
Kentucky river. His father had married in Lexing
ton, soon after his arrival in Kentucky, 1782,
Hopkins, a sister-in law of Col. Todd, who com
manded and perished in the battle of the Blue-
Licks. Following the instincts of his family, which
seemed ever to court danger, Gen. Pierce Butler,
as neighborhood encroached around him, removed
not long after the birth of his eon William, to the
mouth of the Kentucky river. .Through this section,
the Indian tsar-path into the heart cif Kentucky pas
sed. Until the peace of 1794, there was scaraely a
day that some hostile savage did not prowl through
the tangled forests, and the labyrinths of hills,
streams and cliffs, which adapted this , region to
their I uhing vrartlire.. From it they amerced when
they made their laat fuirmidable ineursioni-and push
ed their foray to the environs of Frankfort, the capi
tal of the State. Gen. Pierce Butler had on one side
of him the Ohio, on the farther shore of which the
savage hordes still held the mastery; hod on the

Tullio WARD Et.r.cmorr.—ln compliance with die
Mayor , s pw4lamation the citizens of the Third Ward
will elect member of Se!cct Council to-day, to
serve during the unexpired term of Capt. Porter.
There are two regularly nominated candidates be
fore them: Jelin Coyfe, presented by the Democrats,
and has. 8. Moorhead, 'presented by the Witigq.--
Both are represented to be in favor of the Omnibus
Bill; and we know that Mr. C{ , ll,;(in common With
the,party,) is:Swarm friend of the new wards im
provementa. The election will not be conducted
under any political test, if we rightly understand
the mearprig ofrthe parties but the result will turn
upon the improvement question. The friends of
justice in our-Municipal affairs-those who rejoice
in the prosperity of the whole,city, and are willing
to aid any part ofit in the ‘iptogressive movements+ ,
of its citizens—will of course, (if they are sincere)
vote for Mr.Covt.k,lM there can be no doubt, es to
his course; and there can be no doubt as 'to the
great influence be will exert in 'advocating the items
in the Omnibus. Dot the people of the Third Ward
are to judge of this matter, and we will . only refer
to the proceedings of the Democratic Meeting,
which we publish and sugiiist &consideration of the
vote upon the Improvement resolutions, which was
nearly or quite unanimous. We are told Abet In the
Whig Meeting the improvement met with serioni
position, and it is feared by many.that they have put
,up an improvement candidate merelyto catch votes.
