REV. Q. NJ. RuTLER. d. d.

The " dark days of the rebellion" were
dark indeed at Washington. Notwithstand-
ing the national Capitol is located there.
and all the principal officers of the govern.
ment reside there, it was made the scene Of
many iniquities connected with treason
which are now deeply regretted by all good
and loyal people.
Among those who stood true TO the Con
stltutlon and the Union, however was the
plous, learned and faithful divine whose
name heads this article. When all around
hlm trembled with fear of the threats and
barbarities OF traitors, DIR. BurLER stood up
unawed, and dared to serve his God and his
country amid the violence of tumult and
passion by which he was surrounded; and
from the sacred desk as minister of the
Protestant Episcopal Church then under his
charge he enuncated the principles Of
loyalty and fidelity to the Union which that
church has everywhere in the North So
broadly proclaimed. For this Dir. BUTLER
has been deprived of his charge. Because
he could not and would not preach treason
he was denied the exercise of his clerical
functions. Doubtless those who rudcly
ejected him from their service as a Minister
OF God sent to keep watch over their spir-
ltual welfare, consoled themselves with the
idea that by repndiating him they would
thus forever silence one of the most eloouent
advocates of liberty, humanity and christian
government. But in this they have been
mistaken; for his friends and the admirer.
OF his talents and eminent piety have sourht
INN out, and prevailed upon him to give the
country the benefit of his experience at
Washington, to the end that the Onion
cause may be strengthened by the exercise
oil his intellectual powers in its behalf and
the several objects of benevoence connect.
ed with the war promoted thereby, Conse-
qnently DR. BUTLER has been lecturinp unon
"The dark days of the Rebellion with gront
success. Wherever he has been he has en-.
ergised anew the enthusiasm of his hearers in
favor of this most righteous war, and has
met with the highest encomiums of gentle
men OF all sects and persuasions.
We are pleased to state that DIR Burtpp
has accepted an invitation from number Of
gentlemen-whose letter we herewith an
pend-to lecture in this city, on the third
day of April next for the benefit of our sick
soldiers. His subject is one of deep interest
to all classes of our people, and we are told
that during the lecture, he will impart to
his audience much information that has
never appeared in print. The following is
