feels himself at liberty to make as many blunders as possible, assume the military control, put incompetent generals in positions of vital importance, and sacrifice Confederate armies to death and captivity. We differ from General Sherman in one thing. We never heard before that it did any good to pray for the Devil. Certainly, such a Devil as Jeff. Davis is past all possibility of salvation. We would much better pray for such saints in the flesh as Lincoln, Seward, Sherman, Turchen, Butler, Hunter, etc., who, though the salt of the earth, have their little imperfections, and are not quite angels; at least, we see, as yet, "no signs of wings sprouting from their shoulder-blades."

A telegram from Washington says: General Butler was for four hours before the Committee on the Conduct of the War to-day, and gave ations which have arisen in connection with General Butler's testimony. While General Butler waGeneral Butler was in the act of offering his testimony, the salute for the capture of Fort Fisher was fired.--On lea the last seal to the popular damnation of General Butler, General Butler's admirers and adherents aGeneral Butler's admirers and adherents are that class of men who never relinquish any position while there is a possibility that argumentaticed into position.
