uating tho Union, and ho would bo again
when thoy shall havo laid down their
arms; but while that section ot the Con
federacy held to its present rebellious atti
tudo ho would meet it onlv with cold steel.
Tho disintegration of this glonom Union
was, to his mind, a thing much more to be
regretted than the shedding of blood. It
had cost much blood ami treajurn, and so
help him God ho would never part with it
for less than it cost.
He held every man to ho his brother
who stood up in defence of that flag, but
lie who trampled upon and endeavored to
disgrace it was a traitor of tho deepest dye.

Gen. Butler, now loading in tho oper

already made a splendid military reputa

tainments, and most too keen a northern
I barbarian for tho F. F. V.'s. Many good
anecdotes aro told of tho General, but none
better illustrates tho character of tho man,

refusing to pay her, she sought legal re

counsel. He listened to her case witi.
much interest, and afcrwards consulted

still refused to pay tho girl her wages.
Butler then issued a writ, and attached tho
main water-wheel of the eftabli.hmcntiwhcn
the corporation, rather than allow their
mills to remain idle, and await tho law's
delay, paid the girl her wages, and resumed
