A Story about Gen Butler.

A story is told concerning General
Butler which is not calculated to prove
his confidence in the ssfety of the socesh
element by which he is daily surround
ed.
Some time ago Gen. Butler, finding
that it was almost impossible to devote
to his wife the care to which she is en-
titled, resolved to part with her and to
send her homeward. The day of de-
parture arrived, and he went with his
wife and his children to the boat on
which they were to embark. Unfortu-
nately the water was high and the boat
of difficult access. The plank thrown
across the water between the deck and
the shore formed an acute angle, and
Blondin himself would have found it diff
fcult to preserve his equilibrium upon it.
But Gen. Butler, confident that his cen
tre of gravity was sufficiently ponderous
to secure him against all accidents, ven-
turod bravcly upon the sleepy road
Hardly had he walked two steps, howev-
er, than his feet glided along and down
he went, measuring the plank with all
his length, and producing at the same
time noise somewhat resembling that
of Jan old kettle. His servants ran to
his assistance and he was soon up again.
When it had been ascertained that the
General was unhurt, inquiries were made
concerning the sound of metal heard at
the time of his fall. 1t was not long be-
fore the mystery was solved. The clothes
of the General having been torn in his
perilous descent, people saw, protruding
under his coat, one large breastplate,
reaching from his neck down to his
thighs This was the object which had
produced the noise. 1t was ascert aimed
aftcrward that the General wears this
kind of armor since his arrival in New
Orleans and that he never goes without

A Sad Picture.

The papers are filed with the names
of the sick, wounded, and dead heroes
of the war. 1t is a melancholy picture
to look at it teaches terrible lesson.
Hundreds of loyal households will mourn
the loss of their best beloved the wife
deprived of her noble husband, the pa
rents of their cherished son, the sister OF
her brave brother, the lovely girl of him
who will know her no more for ever. -
Grief like this is always sacred and yet
these individual sorrows are so general
ly shared that those who do not now re-
alize them, sympathize with the suffer
ers, because tomorrow they may be call
ed upon in their turn, to recognize the
fate of war in the death of those who are
nearest and dearest to them. There is
hardly a loyal family in the loyal States
that is not in some way connected with
the brave defenders of our flag. They
were sent forth with blessings and with
prayers and if they fall, their friends
should always recollect that they fell for
the best cause that ever sanctifed SOL
diers sword or strengthened sailors
arm.

Fitting RetOrt.

A day or two ago, says the Louisville
journal, u Union lady of this place call
ed upon sccesh friend of hers, and in
the course of the call, was forced to lis
ten to a great deal of treason, rather
than commit breach of good manners.
On rising to leave her attention was at
tracted by splendid portrait of George
Washington when getting into CONVEX
sation on the subject, the she-rebel, to
still further taunt her Union visitor, re-
marked:
I'll tell you what I'm going to do; !

Beaurogard, and hang up one on each
side of that.

An Artists Trials.

Cali Van T., says the Continental, is

Mrs. Mcclellan and her Husband.

At the depot in New Haven I was in
troduced by my friend Mr.. w. to Mrs.
Mcclellan. | found her to be an intel

sweet infant, which was almost smoth-

was very afTable, and seemed to take an

mine, the Colonel of a New York rcgi-
ment, who recently died of disease con-
tracted before Richmond, was a class
mate at West Point of her husband
she said that when her husband was ap-
pointed Major General she was not much

had been done to degrade him, she ac-

great confidence in her husband, which

success, rcgained it. She said the same

I told her l thought the General had not
done justice to himself, in not explaining
to the public circumstances which looked
unfavorable to him. DO you not think,
said she, that it was patriotic in him to
bear his wrongs in silence, rather than
to trouble the Government, as some 9TH
ers have done, with demands for investi-
cations and court martials, when the de-
lays caused by them would be injurious
to the country? The General, she re-
marked, when the clouds covering him
