General Butler and his Enemies.
We are not disposed to allow General
Butler to be thrown among the lions and
unresistingly devoured. Whether he Ms
been a good or a bad man, Providence
must finally judge ; but he has been too
great a man in this present war—he has'
done too much for his country—he has
been too prominently its representative in
the eyes of the world, for us to disown and
denounce him, to remain passive amid the
whirl and tempest of denunciation that
now rages around his head. There are
many loyal men who are carried away by
this clamor, but we must confer that we
cannot sympathize with any sentiment of'
loyalty which accepts the deeds of General
Butler as triumphs for the Union and at
the same time permits a great statesman
and soldier to be wantonly sacrificed. Our
purpose in writing these lines is not to
make a defence of General Butler. He
is living and can defend himself. For the
purpose of this argument we are even
willing to take General Butler as his
enemies present him. We do not believe
in story-book heroes, whose lives are the
counterparts of good princes in children’s
stories. All great men have had their
share of. good and bad, and become great
by giving hand and heart and brain to the
service of mankind. Cromwell, Frede
rick, JSapoleon, were not story-book
heroes. They lived for , great purposes,
and accomplished them in such a way
that mankind blessed their memory.
If we look closely at the life of Benjamin
F. Butler, we shall find nothing but pure
devotion to his country. When the war
began he was an eminent lawyer of New
England. Fascinated by the name and
principles of Democracy, he allowed his
devotion to the Southern people to,carry
him beyond the position held by Douglas
and Walker. It iB impossible to imagine
how such a mail as Butler could have
been a Breckinridge Democrat, unless the
chivalry of his nature had been seduced
into the fancy that the South was a wronged
minority. When war smote tha land the
Breckinridge affinities of Butler disap
peared. ’ 80 long as the people of the South
were disposed to come-within the radius of
the laws and plead for protection, Butler
was willing to do them justice. The elec
tion of Mr. Lincoln showed that the rebels
made slavery a pretext, and that, having
thus created a grievance, they went to war
to avenge it. Butler Was among the first
to draw the sword. He Was the first gene
ral officer to march to the defence of Wash
ington, and the men who -were slain in
Baltimore were under his command. As
an officer of the army he showed rare pru
dence in the command of Maryland. When
at Fortress Monroe he saw the real
nature of the war, and with the inspiration
of genius grasped it. The rebels had
slavery secured by law, and we had not yet
been educated up to the idea that war
placed the sword above the law. When
Anti-slavery men like Mr. Phillips were
pleading against war, believing that the
South would become united and win the
sympathies of the North, and thus prevent
the dissolution of the Union, Butler
grasped the whole situation, and pro
nounced the word “ contraband.” This
one word, spoken in 1861, spoken to the
American people when they were divided —
one party thinking that law really permit
ted war but nullified its effects, and the
other claiming that slavery was as dear to the
North as to the Bouth-*-this one word was
the preamble to Emancipation. While the
nation believed slavery to be invulnerable,
Butler struck it in the foot, and, like the
Paris of fable, it died.
The first to pronounce the doom of sla
very, General Butler was the first to vin
dicate the dignity of American nation
ality. When the events of these turbulent
years are written in history, it will be said
of Butler that he broke the slave-fetter
with the word “contraband”—he hung
the man who dishonored our flag. The
execution of Mumford, so far as it de
prived one human being of life, was an
insignificant event. But, as asserting a
great'principle, it belongs to the highest
order of great deeds. It was a type of the
civil administration of New Orleans. Men
may say that he intensified the strife that
raged between the North and South, and
that his order in reference to the women of
New Orleans led to Corinth’s vindictive
battle. But we think we must do the peo
ple of the South the justice to say that
nothing has been more vindictive in this
War than the assault upon Fort Sumpter,
and that no act of any general has lessened
or strengthened that feeling. War itself
is vindictiveness, and soldiers like Butler,
Grant, and Sherman, who resort to ex
treme measures, who fight with the sword,
and the sword only—who believe that re
bellion is to be exterminated, and that their
statesmanship is to destroy—are the true
representatives of American feeling. No
one has been more truly a representative
than Benjamin F. Butler. In many re
spects—for vigor, earnestness, a thorough
belief in the Union, and every measure to
promote its Bafety, and, above all, for an
unyielding,Unrelenting will, General But
ler is one of the greatest men that the
war has thrown up. We do not pass an
opinion upon any present cause of diffe
rence between General Butler and the
Administration, but we feel that it would
be unmanly in ns to stand by and see
this man destroyed by the enemies of the
cause, merely because he has served his
country well, and not speak of him as he
deserves to be spoken.
Colored Passengers in Street Cars.
A communication in another column
narrateb the factß of the recent ejectment
of three colored men from a street car.
"When they entered it they could have ex
pected nothing less, for while those who
object to colored persons riding are usu
ally very energetic in their opposition,
there are few men who, believing that
colored persons should ride, will actively
interfere in their behalf. Probably they
entered the car not so much to take refuge
from the heavy rain as to make a point
Which should in time come formally before
a legal tribunal If this be so, the event
may result in the final decision of a very
important question.
All of the authors of this communica
tion we happen to know, and are certain
there could have been no cause for their
expulsion, excepting their color. That
they behaved with propriety, were dressed
respectably, we do not doubt; still, they
were expelled by foree. The conductor is
not to be especially blamed for his part in
this outrage, as he was simply an agent,
doubtless acting-under the orders of the
Chestnut and Walnut-streets Company.
But the Chief of Police or the Mayor
should account to Jhe public for the inter
ference of the policeman. This officer, it
appears, invented a law, but it would
puzzle not him alone, but the best lawyer
in the State, to find in onr statute-books
any law excluding colored citizens from
public conveyances. We presume.that the
duties of policemen are defined by their
superiors, and if the city government has
directed tliem to expel well behaved citi
zens from the street cars at the bidding of
■•conductors we Bhould like to know it. It
iis jrObable that the matter has never been
acted upon by the authorities, and that
conductors, policemen, and citizens who
have • commanded or compelled by force
colored persons to leave the cars have acted
by authority of an {improvised lynch law.
That these colored men had as much fight
as any three white men to resist the unau
wthorized persons who turned them out is
not to be questioned, but we believe that
they would not have made useless resist
ancc bad it not been for the wish to force
the matter before the courts.
The inconsistency of this Eepublip has
been from its beginning the derision of the
world. Established to maintain freedom,
it rapidly became the great slave power
among nations. Slavery, a subtle and far
reaching poison, grew into its blood and
bone, till Providence, unwilling to permit
the ruin of a continent, now cuts the cancer
out with the sword. In the free States we
may peacefully destroy the evil that in the
South is being annihilated by war. Colored
men mußt have their rights, or white men
will suffer from the they inflict.
At least, if we refuse to grant the just de
mands of the black race, let us no longer
continue 'file shameful inconsistency of
giving it citizenship only so far as they
lose and we prefit. We tax our colored
citizens, and every dollar they pay is so
much saved to white men. We draft them,
and every one conscripted saves a white
man from the war. That rule cannot be
just which subjects colored men to all the
penalties, and deprives them of all the
privileges of citizenship.

The bill to repeal the section of the act which pro
vides for the appointment of agents to purchase

By the United states steamer Massachusetts,
which arrived at the Navy Yard yesterday morn
ing, we have Important advices from South Caro
lina. Our fleet on the coast, relieved at last from
blockading duty, has turned its attention to of
tensive operations. The first of these, directed by
Admiral Dahlgren, has been highly successful,
resulting in the capture of an important South
Carolinian town. On the 2*th nit., the expedition
started up the river, and after passing andoapturlsg
unimportant batteries, attacked ,Fort White, and
after a fierce bombardment It was captured, with
all Its armament, eighteen guns. Our loss in the
fight was small, and none of the vessels received
any damage. After the fall of the fort a de
tachment., of sailors and marines was landed

a portion of the fleet was returning, , Admiral
Dahlgren’s flag-ship, the . Harvest Moon, was
blown up by a torpedo. But one, happily'
was killed, and he the wardroom steward, a

EXPECTATIONS FROM THE ABILITY OF
GENERAL JOHNSTON.
, Washihotok, Maroh e—Richmond papers of
March 3d have been received. They contain the
following:
The bill to levy additional taxet for the current
year engaged the attention oT the Confederate So
nata throughout ycßterday, the pending question
being the adoption of the amendment to tbaablU
proposed by the Senate Finance Oomtnlfcteo. The
amendments will probably be agreed to, but the
final result will be the reference of the subject to a
committee or conference.
The Raleigh Progress of tho2Bthult. says: “All
the Yankee prisoners have been sent from the oamps
near this place to North East, for tho purpose of
being exchanged. Many others, from Greensboro
and, SaHsbnry, have passed through here for the
same destination.
“All the Federal prisoners In North Carolina are
to be exchanged, we learn, at North East bridge, a
few miles from Wilmington. We presume the ex
change will be completed in a few days. 1 '

BHEUMAM’S MOVEMENTS.
The Raleigh (N. O.) Conservative, la noticing the
assignment of Gen.-Johnston to thh command ortho
forces confronting Sherman, says that “His well
known ability and skill In wielding an army give
ns all assurance that whatever means may ha at
his disposal will be wielded In such a way as will
best promote tip Interests of the country. Whether
that means la adequate to put a Stop to Sherman’s
movements, and overwhelm him while In the Inte
rior, time only ean determine. His (Sherman’s)
oouree seems to ns to be one that Is quite novel in
the history of warfare. He outs himself loo?#,' so
far as we have been Informed, from any base or sup
plies, dashes Into the Interior, depending upon living
on the supplies found In the country ptakes little or
no care to seenre tho military possession of the ooun
try through which he passes, and leaves it with but
few marks of bis having visited it, except the ruin
that marks the belt of country he has traversed.
That snob a course Is very damaging tons, In the
destruction of the means of subsistence and trans
portation is, of coarse, very evident; but, IT, as
seems to be asserted on good authority, he leaves
the people of the country more strongly united
against him and ths Yankees titan he finds them, It
would seem to be a decidedly slow process of bring-
Ir g the country to that submission which his master
pio'esses to expeet will be accomplished speedily.
And such a oourse would certainly render the con
sequences of a severe reverse to him Irreparable,,
But what will be the result of his present expedl,
tion time win only determine, and the whole ooun >
try awaits news which Is to solve the problem with
intense anxiety.**

Everything remains quiet on the Richmond and

. There was a report yesterday of some'firing on

presumed that It was the signal of any Important

on record, and military operations must wait for
fair weather. - ■

MAXIMILIAN'S GBNEKAL-IH-OHIBF FEASTING KB-
BBLS—SALUTES AND KEVJBWS AT MATAMOBOS.
St. Louis, March s.—The New Orleans Bee, of
the 38th nit, publishes a private letter from Mata
moroe, dated January 30, stating that Up to this
time the Mexican and Confederate authorities hare
been simply polite and friendly, Generalß' Mejia
and Slaughter having crossed the river in civil
dress and dined with each other. But yesterday
General Mejia and his staff, in full‘uniform, en
tered Brownsville, where Gen, Slaughter awaited
their -'visit with his whole command under arms,
and gave the visitors an artillery salute of twenty- ,
one guns. After dinner the Confederate flag was
raised, and the Mexican General and his staff re
moved their caps and sainted it, the former making
a speech, In which he said the Confederacy would
soon be recognized. He concluded by Inviting the
Confederates to a grand banquet at Matamoroa,
promising to also salute their flag with twenty-one
guns. , . -
The importance of this affair consists mainly In
the fact that Gen. Mejia Is oommander-In-ohlef of
the Mexican armies, and is therefore the next per
sonage to the Emperor.

A SOOTH AMERICAN JKBKBD-BBER COMPANY FBO-
The New York TimM gtves a good bint In the an
nexed article:
■While our housekeepers In New York have to pay
the butcher from 26 to 25 cents a pound far ordinary
joints, not loss than one hundred and flrty thousand
tons of excellent grass fedUwef—the yearly produot
of the districts bordering on the Rio Grande and the
river Platte—can soarcely find.a market at s2a
ewt.; that Is, at two cents a pound. This vast sup.
ply—the surplus produce of two million well-fed
bullocks and heirers—does not represent the
mere carcase weight of the slaughtered ani
mal. It Is solid beef, stripped from the
bones of the carcase, allowed to 0001, jerked or out
up Into thin filtohes,and properly Cured In that form
for exportation. The chief markets heretofore
Bought for it, In this prepared state, have been those
of Brazil and Cuba. But In both countries It has
generally—as we may judge from the price-been a
drug In the market, lie mode of ou|lng Bereto
fore adopted may have had much to do with the
limited demand. But If this 1b the prime drawback,
we venture to believe that, at the present rate of
things here, some Ingenious enterprisers will bo
Toundi before long, who will discover a way of
bringing some portion of this vast South American'
surplus, in a wholesomely-ourca condition, into our
hundred and fifty thousand tons of jerked
beef would furnish over two million consumers with
a sufficient meat diet every day ln : the year. Even
at the present rate of exchange, the price to the
wholesale importer would be but four cents a pound;
and even If he were to charge cent per cent, for hte
adventure, the price to the consumer here would
still be less than one-third what he now pays lor
very ordinary onts, half, or more than hair, the
weight being bone or gristle.
The whole matteref the feasibility of the enters
Prise, we think, probably hangs upon the question
of curing— that Is, ouring after a fashion that would
be palatable here. When that question Is solved
the vast cattle trade of the Northern and Central
States of South America—of one seotion of which
cnly we have spoken—will eome into aooonnt In our
common market consumption. And some bounds
will be placed upon the atrocious extortions now
practiced on the great consnmlng population.

THB DEBATE US THE BOUSE OF I>OBI>3.
In the House of Lords Lord Lyreden Called atten
tion to the Bubject of the defences of Canada. He
pointed to tbe hostile feelings of The Americana,
and urged immediate measure&for the defenoe of
the province. -
Earl Do Grey and Lord Rlpon admitted the Im
portance of the subject, but regretted that any
doubt should be expresied of the conciliatory Inten
tions of the American Government. They explain
ed that the measuies proposed by the Government
would ask a vote of £50,000 for the Quebeo defences,
while the Canadians would undertake the defenoes
of Montreal and westward.
The. Ear I of Derby thought the position of the
Government was humiliating, when the question of
peace or war depended on an excited populace,
with strong prejualoes against England, and strong
ly censured the Government lor having so long
delayed Its defences, and ridiculed the smallness of
the amount asked.
Earl Granville thought Lord Derby’s views ex
aggerated, but as long as Canada took a fair share
he thought England was bound to assist her colo
nies. ' .
Lords Malmesbury and Ellenborough oomplalned
of the small sum asked for.
Earl Russell regretted the discussion, and stated
that the Government had deollned to make any
movement while the Canadians deollned to take
measures themselves, but as they now show a dif
ferent position the Government comes forward to
assist them. In reply to Earl Derby, the ministers
said the subject of naval forces for the lakes, owing
to the termination of tho convention, was under
consideration.
This debate caused a depression In the funds, and
a fall In consols.
The Duffy Nem credits Lords Lyreden and Derby
with having raised a most mischievous debate.
The Times questions the policy of defence.
The Otbl says probably the Government will take
no measures for a naval fdree on the lakes, tho
'Washington Government having explained Its ac

The Phare ic la Loire denies the statement that
the French Government has sent any war vessels In

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY —A MAN MURDERS HIS
WIFE BY SHOOTING HER WITH A MUSKET.
Last evening we were called upon to ohrootole
the particulars, of one of those horrible tragedies
which most people are aocußtomed to readiufltof
more as tales of fiction than as the sad realities of
use. No. 828 SUppen street Is -a, three-stot j and
attic brick tenement-house, about 18 feet la front
and SO feet In depth. The front first floor has
one window and two doors. Tbe eastern door forms
an entracoe to the passage way leading to tue
upper floors. The western one Is the entrance to a
small shop, In which small wares of almostevery de
scription are sold. The honse Is doMtto all the way up,
and not less than one family exist), weoan’t say live,
in each room. There was no excitement In the
neighborhood, when we reached the scene of the
tragedy, and we were obliged to aska policeman
where the affair had taken place. Following his
directions, we threaded onr way through a dark.dls
mal passage way, up three flights of stairs, every
step of whleh seemed, from age or excessive use, to
have become loose and displaced, and reached the
apartment In which the dreadful deed hadooourred.
Misery, want, sin, and Its oonsequenoes were all
painfully visible before us. The room was of the
width of tbe house, and about ten feet In depth, and
was the back attic. The celling was about three
feet In height at Its lowest place, and sloped to the
height of about eight feet. A small square window,
which admitted' whatever light was received In the
day time, wee In the east gable walL A cooking
stove ooonpled the western part of the room, and
a number of tins and cooking utensils hung onjthe
walls. The only apdlogy for a bed was in a small cor
ner In the eastern end of the room,where a quantity
of clothing was collected, which appeared as 11 some
one had been lying on it. Three young children,
scantily olad, wandered UstleSßly around the room,
or huddled closely together as we approached them.
Two old women, who also occupied the room, one of
whom bore marks of violence on her face and per
son, seemed anxious to give ns a long account of tho
affair, beginning with the early Ufe orthe unfortunate
victim in Ireland, and hinting very knowingly in
reference to one Mrs. Jones, at whose house the de
ceased had visited.
Tbe body of tbe murdered woman lay upon the
floor, her head supported by a much-soiled pillow.
The office held a candle over the corpse while we
viewed tbe body. From appearances, we Imagine
she was about thirty-two years of age, and had been
rather good-looking. Her clothing was tolerably
good. .Her face was covered with clotted blood,
whether from a.blow, or whether from the fatal
wound, we are unable to determine. From the wo
men present, and from Offioer James McGaUough,
Jr., who, with Officer Wm. Phillips, made the ar
rest, we learned that name or deceased' was Mary
Smith; she was born in Ireland, but lived in this
country for some years. When sue married her
present husband she was a widow, and had a son,
who is now about fifteen years old. Her hus
band’s name Is Adolphus Smith. He is
a Philadelphian by birth and by trade a weaver.
He has served one term of three years in the army,
and has re-enllsted in the 2lst Veteran Reserve
Regiment, now stationed at Camp Oadwalader.
He has been engaged lately In taking recruits and
substitutes down to the army.. He was a widower
at the time ol his marriage with the deceased, and
has one oblld, a girl. The deceased did not Uve at
the honse where the murder oecurred.permanently,
but remained there twD or three weeks at a time.
She made her home principally at the house of one
Mrs. Jones.
She wltif her husband had been ont all day
Shopping, and both had/drank considerable liquor.
They arrived at the house on Shippen street toward
evening, and a quarrel, -which had begun while
Mrs. Oavender, one of-the occupants of the room,
was present, In reference to the deceased going up
town with her husband, whloh she refused to do, it
is believed was continued after Mrs.,Oavender had
gone down 'stairs. No one was present when the
total shot was fired. Mrs. Oavender heard it when
Bhe was down stairs, about half past seven o’olook,
and called the police. After the fatal deed Smith
rBl h? u L of hons ® ft nd hid himself; and It was not
-hptU after a long searoh that the officers found him
biding In an out-hense.-. He was attested shortly
after eight o’clock. The wound Is a gunshot’
wound, and was fired from an army musket
which belongs to Smith. The ball passed through
the left lung of the deoeased, and must have caused
Instant death. There was very little blood visible
except on the decedent’s mouth and-noso. Upon
being arrested, Smith told the officer that he was
drunk when he fired the gun, or he would never
