Achievements of Genaral Butler.

1t is about four weeks since Jones'
regiment had the fight in Baltimore,
passed through it, and since General
Butler conceived the idea of opening
the way through Annapolis. 1t
seems a year. The books of the De-
partment of Annapolis, So far as Gen.
Butler is concerned, are closed, and
the present occasion offers fair OPP
portunity for giving general review
of the operations Of the Massachusetts
troops and of their commandant, upon
which do not think nearly enough
has been said. Had not Gen. Butler
been in command of the Massachu-
setts troops four weeks ago this eve
ming, it is my firm belief that ere now
jeff. Davis would have been the ruling
magnate at Washington. Arriving
at Philadelphia at time when all
communication with the Federal Capt.
tai bv the most usual course had been
cut off. when the Administration was
at the mercy of four thousand Dis
trict militia almost unanimously
sympathizing with the cause OF the
traitors. and when the complete over
throw of the Federal Government was
thing entirely within the power OF
tue rebels, ! think it is not too much
to say that by opening that communl'
cation he has saved the country. An
| accident had placed within the pos
session of the General lately in com

circumvent the plans of the rebels ;

Western Virginia.

The anticipated secession Of West
ern Virginia gives rise to some diff
cult questions. The Constitution-ar-
ticlc 1, section 4-declares that
"No new State shall be formed or
erected within the jurisdiction of any
other State, nor any other State be
formed by the junction of two or more
States or parts Of States, acHh0m the
consent Of the Legislatures Of the States
concerned, as acel Of the Congress"
According to this, the consent of
the Legislature Of Eastern Virginia
would be requisite, as well as that of
Congress. The former would not be
granted. But the question occurs
whether by the secession of Eastern
Virginia she does not forfeit the above
right, or introduce state of things
to which the above clause is not
strictly applicable. But the practical
9uestion may be shifted. Suppose
Western Virginia remains as she is,
and Eastern Virginia votes to sccede
then the former may Claim to exercise
the functions Of tue old State unalter.

deal with the dilemma as she best can

ST. CHARLES CITY, FLOYD COUNTY. IOWA, THURSDAY JUN

found to be in danger, orders were
despatched from the Navy Depart
mcnt to have all the vessels taken
out. Officers at the yard, secretly
sympathizing with secession, first pre-
vented the execution of the orders, on
the ground that it was not necessary,
and then resigned. The Navy De-
partmcnt, on being appriscd of this,
instantly sent Commodore Paulding
down to save the property. But it
was then too late. All that could
then be done was to destroy it, to
prevent its falling into the hands Of
the seccssionists, and that he did
cffectually.
When the Seventh Regiment and
the Massachusetts troops arrived at
Annapolis, the Capital was almost de-
fcncelcss. A Quartermaster was or
dcrcd to go to Annapolis from Wash
ington to hasten their march. He
went, as was supposed, to execute
his mission, but, instead of bringing
in the desired rcinforccmcnts, coolly,
at his leisure, brought in his rcsigna-
ton
When the river steamboats, were
seized at Washington for Government
nse, they were sent round to the Navy
Yard TO be armed for service. Imme-
diatcly on their arrival, every officer
in the yard but one resigned, in order
to stop the work.
These are but few pages out of a
whole volume of unwritten history.
At every step, for a while, the gov
ernment was clogged and crippled by
traitors, who drew their pay and
affected loyalty 50 long as nothing
was required Of them, but who, at the
critical moment when their services
were wanted, deserted to the enemy.
But the active operations of the
past few weeks, and the incxorahic
stcrnacss with which every officer is
stricken from the roll who has any
qualms about his duty, have purgcd
the service. The Army and the Navy,
at last, are officered by men who are
loyal to the flag, and who, when they
receive orders, will execute them
The whole of this experience on the
part of the Administration, gives ad
ditional illustration of the utter lack
of common honesty among those who
would split the Union ON point oI

Difficulties of the Administration.

We are glad to find in the Albany
Evening Journal the following cxpla-
nation of the course of the Govern
ment in the early part of the present
contest. The intimate relations which
exist between the editor Of the Jour
nal and prominent members Of the
Cabinet, give scmi-of1icial character
to his statements. The paragraph
which relates to Norfolk Navy Yard
has especial interest. 1t is unjust to
say that the orders for the removal of
the Merimack and two or three other
ships should have been sent before
Virginia had come so close to actual
secession, and that, after this untor-
tunate delay, with the example Of
other States before us, Com. PauldinS
should have been sent before the faith
fulness of uncertain officers had been
tested? The loss of these vessels
with the Navy Yard and its important
stores, is the saddest and most humil-
iating event of Mr.. Lincoln's Admins
tration. 1t was clearly owing to the
fact that Government had not recoG-
| nizcd, and, so far as possible, been
provided for the dangers of the seces-
sion of Virginia and other border
States. Such mistakes will be par
doued and forgotten, if it now acts
with comprehensiveness and decision,
and entertains no propositions of
armistice or peace until the rebels
have laid down their arms. They re-
bellcd against the best government
on earth without cause they must
be made thankful to return to it with,
out compromise, reconstruction or the
least qualifying condition Of their pro
posing. Public and private property
can only be permanently secure after
such peace.
The Albany Evening Journal thus
sets forth the difficulties encountered
by the Government
No one can realize the amount o
embarrassment which the Government
has encountered from the necessity o
entrusting the execution OF its orders
to an Army and Navy almost half dc
moralized by officers Of treasonabl
sympathies.

All Fighting Gentlemen.

The rebels boast constantly that
their troops arc gcntlemcn-i. G., we
suppose, the class who own and use
the earnings of slaves. Does it never
occur to rebels what bitter satire there
is in this boast! Is that desirable
social system in which there are no
mechanics and free laborcrs, having
an interest in the government and
ready to volunteer in its defence? Is
it to the credit of the Sonth that 1t
dare not arm its toilsmen, by whose
unpaid sweat the aristocracy get their
wealth and leisure That in the
Northern forces there are men Of eve
ry class and profession, including the
richest and most refined and the hon
est, intelligent, independent, free work
men aud free voters, is grand sug-
gcstivc fact, in all eyes except those
of conceitcd Southern jackanapes.
The New York Seventh and the Mas
sachusetts Eighth, on the march from
Annapolis to Washington, might give
a significant hint of the power and
prosperity of the North, as compared
with the comparative barbarism of
the South, to the rebels, if they were
not blind as bats. To have few or no
white men, except scll:styled gentle
men, loafers, knights Of the bowie
knife and duelling pistol, to recruit
from, is anything but a sign Of
strength. The South should rccollcct
that the present war is not the fisrt in
which gentlemen" have been OPP
posed to laborers. Oliver Cromwell
settled two centuries ago the question
of their relative superiority, when with
Roundheads he crushed the Cavaliers
of Charles and certainly the Cava-
lers of Charles were as much gen
tlemcn" as the Shareholders of Jetfer-
son Davis, however deficient they may
have been in the plantation manners, "
which are the outward sign of gentle
blood in the South.
