Cen. Buffers Plans
HIS Opinions ~ TO how Fugitiyes
should be Treated.

New Y,RK, Aug. b.
The Tribune prints letter from Gen.
Butler To the Secretory Of War, in which
he states that Mt the time ofrrcciving or
ders TO forward troops to Washington, he
was preparing for an advance movement
ON Yorktown, hoping TO cripple the re-
sources Of The enemy there, especially by
sczing n large quantity of negroes who
were being impressed INTO their service,
making entertainments, &c.
Gen. Butler states he has now this side
.of Hampton 300 negroes, 800 being able
bodied mon, aud desires instructions from
the Department regarding them. After
discussing the status upon which the
slave women and children, thus freed
from their masters, are TO be considered,
he was compelled, by his own reasoning,
10 look upon them as men aud women,
not free born, yet free, manumitted and
sent forth from the land that held them,
never tu be rccluimcd lie would have
~ doubts how TO proceed had he not
seen an order from Con, Mcdowell for.
bidding all fugitive slaves to be harborcd
within the lines. Tf tho enforcing that
order is the policy of the Government, as
a soldier he is bound 10 enforce Il, stead
lastly II not ehccrlulyj but should take a
widely different course II lofi to his own
discretion.
The General concludes Os follows;
In loyal state would put down a ser
vile lnsurrcction; 10 State of rebellion
would coniiscato that which was used to
oppose my arms, and take all that prop
erly which constituted the wealth of that
state and furnished the m ans by which
the war was prosecuted, besides being
the cause Of the war; aud il IN 50 duingit
seould be objected, and that human bcings
were brought to the free enjoyment Of life
liberty and the pursuit Of happiness such
objection might not acquire much con
sidevaticn.

BY ORDER or THE COMMITTEE.
H. l.. MCKEE, Secy.
our Country First-Party Alter
wards.

This is the patriotic uttornnce Of loyal
men Of all parties, in this hour Of COM
mon danger. The North must not suffer
itself to be divided by party lines, when
the Union, which we all 30 much love
and to which we all oN allegiance alike,
is threatened and when we have a COM
mon enemy to fight. Patriotism and self
preservation alike dictOtc thatwo should
throw aside petty differences and party
prcjudiccs and stand together as one man
under a common flag, for the prescrva-
tion of common country. This couL-
try belongs neither TO the Republican
party nor the Democratic party. II be-
longs TO he people and each citizen, how
ever humble or obscure, has an equal in
tercst in its preservation. IL matters
not who may be President or what politi-
cal party may be in the ascendancy.-
Tho Administration is the chosen instru-
ment of the people to carry out their
will and is entitled to their confidence and
support Thcrci is no middle ground be-
tween this and anarchy and revolution so
much to be dcplorcd.
The reasonable pretcnco Of certain
journals, like the Cincinnati Enquirer
aud the Seneca A4rerti,cr (Which cop-
les after it) that they can support the
Government without supporting the Ad-
ministrution, is one Of the subterluges to
which secession sympothlscrs resort
The Administration Is he Government
for the two are inseparablc, 1t is the
chosen agent Of the people, under the
wise provisions of the Constitution, to
keep the machinery Of Government in
motion. Opposition to the Administro-
tion, in the discharge of it proper func-
tions is opposition to the Government TO
which we all directly or impliedly have
sworn allegiance, and at timo like this,
il is rank treason.
We are in the midst Of war, forced
upon us by the malcontents of the South,
and we must either carry It on vigorously
or consent TO be slaves and see this glo-
rious Union dissolved, There is but one
way to carry il on successfully aud that
is to forget PAST differences of opinion
and strengthen the hands of the Govern
mcnt, in It's efforts to crush out rebellion,
There is no middle ground. We cannot
serve God and Mammon. We cannot be
Union men, and still cripple and cmbar-
ass the operations of the Government by
every means in our powCr-by keeping
up party spirit and party lines,
