that a large number of the clothing houses there

in few months they win be enabled to send
these goods into the South, under the southern

For the Appeal
1t is with more than ordinary regret We an-
nounce the death Of Mai. T. G. W. Butler, Of
the Ilth regiment Louisiana Volunteers, who
fsn mortally wounded in the battle Of Belmont,
on the 9TH Of November. Ia him his family lose
a worthy member, the army gallant soldier, and
the country a whole-souled patriot. Engaged in
diplomatic position abroad, where he acquitted
himself with credit, he gave up the attractive
life be had been leading for several years, at the
cali Of his State, and offered bis sword and has
now shed his blood in her defense Though but
young in the profession forced upon him by the
state of his country, his characteristic bearing in
the face Of the enemy and strict attention TO the
srduous duties Of his profession, at all times and
in all places, gave promise Of perfect soldier.
He fell while in advance of his regiment, having
been ordered to make a reconnaissance Of a
body Of the enemy, and received murderous
volley while gallantly waving his sword for the
1Ith Louisiana to charge. So distinguished was
his bearing amongst the army, who on that day
were battling as freemen only can, for their rights
and Liberties, that be attracted the attention OF
friend and foe, the prisoners who were after
wards captured, expressing the most unbounded
admiration, with a desire to know his name and
rank. He received two mortal wounds, but liv-
ed some hours-long enough to show that in him
courage was not the impulse Of the moment as
hc bore pain with unfinching tortitude, and met
death with calm cOmpOsure, leaving his country
to mourn the refined, noble and chiyalric gen
tleman, cut of in the beginning Of a career
which promised so much of brilliancy and use
fulness. But no.
