Gen. Butler, in a recent speech before the
Vermont Legislature, uttered the following
true, bold and manly words in relation to
the war and the ability of the Government
to successfully cary it on against treason at
home and invaders from abroad:
"It is said, and it is our say, Il you will
allow me 60 far to prophecy, I'VE ere fghting
the battles of poslerity,' not only cs regards
our enemies at home, but our enemies abroad.
For, Sir, we have demonstrated to the ma
tions Of the earth that we can carry on the
war with money at the usual rats Of inter
est after we have shown that We can carry
on the war-burning breadstuf fer fuel in
the West, and importing it to foreign coun-
tries in the East; after we have shown that
we can provide an army larger than was
ever organised in the same tine by any
other nation, better fitted out, better paid
than almost any other branch of human in
dustry-When we have shown that navy
of vessels can be gathered thus rapidly-when
we have exhibited that spectacle to the civil
lied world, and shown that the strongest
Government upon earth is that which rests
upon the free hearts Of the people, that vol
unteer their treasure and their blood in de-
tense Of their rights; will you tell ne what
power-Will you point me to ths nation
will you specify what Government will like
TO meet in arms the United States, thus
demonstrating their power in the future2-
We shall then have settled the question
about the honor we claim for ourselves, and
it will be decided for Us by every other ma
tion-that we are the frst-class power Of the
world. And, therefore, I say, Sir, in the
spirit Of prophecy, that we shall cor,e out OF
this contest successfully.
Our children will have no Wat at home,
and M war abroad, but may turn their minds
to the arts Of peace. For the strength of our
Government, and our integrity IS nation,
our children will owe TO US debt of graft
tude, compared with which any amount of
treasure left them, wou be but the penny
left by the good Samaritan, for Kim who
fell among thieves.
But again hear the doubt raised, "Whst
II England-what if the hurope r Powers
should interfere and recognize the Oonfeder-
aey7' Being myself citizen of the United
States, can give answer: God help the peo-
pie of the South if England or any other
foreign nation does interferel We are now
carrying on war against them as # they were
brothers. When they bring eny foreign
power into the war, they would make them
selves, what it would almost seem they would
wish to be, foreign enemies. But when the
freemen of the North are called upon to fight
against foreign enemies, we will arm every
man upon the continent, be he black, white
or gray. [Applause. We seek no contest
with any other Power; we desire to live in
amity with every nation. We only desire
to be left alone. But If the spirit of gain
shall tempt any nation to interfere with US,
let no man fear; let no mans cheek grow
pale. I have no doubt of the power of the
country to take care OF the enemies within it
and to hold at arms length those without

The Presidents wife.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Springfield Republican makes the following
good-natured comments upon power in the
land which is not provided for in the Consti.
tuition:
We have for the first time in the history
of Presidents, a Presidents wife who seems
to be ambitious OF having a finger in the
Government pie. Her friends compare Mrs.
Lincoln to Queen Elizabeth in her statesman
like tastes and capabilities. She is by nc
means a simple, domestic woman, but was
evidently intended BY nature 10 mix some
what in politics. That she does so is unde-
niable. She has ere this made and unmade
the political fortunes of men. She is said to
be much in conversation with Cabinet men,
bers, and has before now held correspond
ence with them on political topics. Some
go so far as to suggest that the President is
indebted to her for some of his ideas and
projects. She is a very active woman
Nothing escapes her eye. She manages the
affairs of the White House II do not mean
State sfairs) with ability, and will see to it
that the sold man" does not return to Spring.
field penniless. In foreign countries her
turn for politics would not subject her to ad-
verse criticism, but the American people are
so unused to these things that it is not easy
for them to like it. Mrs. Douglas was good
deal of politician, though she never injured
her husbands position, but rather improved
it by her social alliances. Miss Lane never
alluded to politics, and Mrs. Pierce knew
nothing about them. She was probably the
most simple-hearted woman that ever Presi-
ded at the Presidents table. The word
''simple" is not used in depreciative sense.
She was a pure-minded, unselfsh, Christian
woman, and knew nothing at all of the
world

tF1Om the London News
The whole history Of great States, whether
monarchical or republican, in all ages and In
all climes, has been one OF alternative en-
graftings and splinterines from tie central
stock. Territorial expansions and contract
ions have been by turns the destiny of nearly
every European State Of the frst order, since
the days Of Charlemange. It has been pre-
eminently 80 of France whose confines sell
dom remained for half century unchanged ;
yet when has the bitterest enemy OF that
great country ventured to talk OF her polti-
cal existence as a thing that has passed
awAy2 Every true statesman aad historian
understands that the vitality Of q great State
consists not in the casual extent of its acre
age or the auctuating number Of its people,
but in the moral vigor which loyalty TO its
institutions, and homogeneity of feeling,
habits and purpose, give, and which no aci-
dents OF flood or field can take away. Were

est free country, with the exception Of our
own, that the world has ever seen. 1t would
still possess elements within itself of opulence
and power vastor by far than any European
State can boast; it would still be iDvincible

suit of industry, knowledge, Rdven ture, and

prudence, and while 1t retains all It's fresh
ness and energy of national youth it would
still be voluntary combination OF selfrul'

and eloquent language of VIce-Chancellol
Page Wood upon this subject; and we BE-
rionsIy commend his wise and mighty words
OF political reproof to the shallow pated ora

The Columbus correspondent oS the Gin
cinnaH Commercial makes the following
mention of the revolutions in trade, caused
by the war:
The machinery for bullet making and for
other army service, destroyed by the fre at
the penitentisry, has been reconstructed, and
is now at work again. The introduction of
machinery for army service, by penitentisry
contractors, furnishes q theme for philo-
sophie reflection on the revolutions of war
one 6fm making harness trimmings, buckles,
bits, ETC., and variety of other useful arti-
cles, in mslleable iron, which peace requires,
turns its attention TO bullets, cavalry saddles,
artillery harness, e'c; another, IN time OF
peace, doing a large business in the manu-
iacture of hoes, rskes, az handles, and car
Fiage wheels, directs its resources to the con-
struction of csissons, gun carriages and army
wagons; a third, making willow ware, chill
dren's cabs, hobby horses, and playhouse
hand carts, now employs its hands on hsv-
ersacks, knapsacks, and tents; fourth, hav-
ing large capital in ploughs, sugar mills,
threshing machines, ETC., puts its money into
camp kettles, tin plates and tin cups, camp
stoves, sc. But the most 'peculiar" of the
revolutions in trade which the war envelopes
is the enlistment of bankers and land specu-
lstors in clothing enterprises, Of dry goods
merchants and lawyers in horse buying and
grocery contracts. The consolation of quiet
people is, that without 'all sorts of people"
the Government couldn't carry On war.

day evening, the 9th inst, DR.. G. B Winship,
Of Roxbury, Mass, at the close Of an exceed
ingly eloquent, interesting and instructive
lecture on physical culture, health and
strength, verified some Of bic rather startling
statements by several illustrations Of mus
cular power, which we never would have
believed possible had we not had ocular evil
dence Of the fact. Standing upon q staging
at an elevation Of about eight or ten feet
from the floor, the Doctor lifted aud sustained
for considerable time, and without apparent
difficulty, platform suspended beneath him,
on which stood twelve gentlemen. all heavlGr r
individually than the Doctor himself, and
weighing, inclusive of the entire apparatus
lifted with them, nearly nineteen hundred
pounds AVID. In the performance of this
tremendou' feat, DR.. W. employed neither
straps, bands, nor girdle-nothing, in short,
but a stout eaken stick, fitting across bis
shoulders, and having attached TO it couple
of rather formidable looking chains. At DR..
WIS request, a committee, appointed by the
audience, and furnished with one OF Fair

The Louisville journal says the most eth-
eient means Of crushing the rebellion is by
'sDAPping the spinal cord of railroad be-
tween the Atlantic Ocean and the Mississippi

that Government take possession, at some
point in East Tennessee, Of the line of rail-
road connecting Nashville with Richmond.
There Is no doubt such step would strike a
severe blow at the rebel cause. 1t would

pFsciate the Importance of this transit route;
hence they struggle to protect it by throwing

then, become & battlefield Of great interest,
the Importance of which is not exceeded,
perhaps, BY any other locality within the
lines of either army. That our forces in
Kentucky will advance into Tennessee and
accomplish this desirable result as soon aa
their strength is sufficiently increased to en-.
shls them to do 50, we cannot doubt. When
iti done, there will be sorrow in the house
Of JEFF. DAVIS and hunger in the camps Of
his soldiers.
Nor would the want of army supplies be
the greatest difficulty with which rebellion
