The Infamous Butler.


The barbarous conduct of this individual at New
Orleans, will fix upon him stigma which history
will ever perpetuate. His progeny after him, if he
have any, will inherit the disgrace which attaches
to his name, and his government which at least
winks at his baseness, deserves the infamy which
will ever attach to its brutal official. The follow
ing Joint resolution in regard to him introduced
in the Confederate House of Representatives last
week and was referred to the committee on military
affairs. Let it be put upon the record:
"Whereas, Benjamin F. Butler, an officer COM
manding the forces of the United States now occu-
pving portion of the territory of the Confederate
States, has, by repeated atrocities committed on
citizens OF the Confederate States Of both sexes and
of ages, shown the most utter disregard of the
amenities of civilized warfare and of the obligations
of social and Christian life, and utter contempt
for that protection which is awarded by all Christian
conauerors to the defenceless non-combatants that
may either temporarily or permanently be subject
to their rule; therefore.
1.-The Congress Of the Confederate States do re-
soloe, That the said Benjamin F. Butler is hereby
declared HOSTS hum'ani generis," and as such to
be treated by all citizens and soldiers of the Con-
federate States of America whenever and wherever
they may find the said Benjamin F. Butler. And
the exemption from punishment which this resolu-
ton extends to any citizen soldier Of the Con-
federate States is hereby extended to any citizen or
subject of any foreign country whatever"

Our NAVY Department,

The i'll success, imbecility and laundering OF the
Confederate Navy Department, by which we are
driven from the Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico, and
from all our navigable streams, have led many
plain. honest citizen to ask, have we Navy Depart
ment? Since the evacuation of Norfolk, the cap
ture of New Orleans, and the destruction of the
Merrimac, &C., many have very naturally concluded
that we can have no further use for Secretary Of
the Navy. The following incident which took place
in the Confederate House Of Representatives, last
week, would indicate that some Of the members of
Congress arc of the same way of thinking:
Mr.. Conrad, of La, offered the following:
"Resoloed, That the Committee on Naval Affairs
be instructed to inquire into the expectancy OF abo-
fishing the Office ofSecretary of the Navy and vest
ing the power thereof in the Secretary of War;"
Mr.. Foote-I would inquire if this is mere re.
solution of inquiry for have such high regard
for the honorable Secretary Of the Navy that other
wise I should oppose it Uaughter)
Mr.. Foster, Of Ala move to lay the resolution
on the table.
Mr.. Conrad-Why so?
Mr.. Foster-I think it is q reflection on the Sec
rotary of the Navy. c.
Mr.. Conrad mean it as a reflection on the sec,
rotary of the Navy; 1 mean it, and l am prepared
to show that he ought to receive such reflection.
The resolution was passed.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

Alta meeting of the Wardens of Wake county, on
The I'd day of Aug, 1862 it being their regular COM
munication, the following resolutions were passed:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased Almighty God, in the
wise dispensation of his Providence, to take from
our midst our esteemed friend and brother Warden,
John NJ Fleming; In the death of our lamented CO.
laborer the public has sustained considerable loss,
the poor friend the wife an affectionate husband,
his children fond and doting father in short those
who knew him best have cause to love and respect
his memory most
ResolDed LIST, That we areisdmonished by the re-
moval Of our friend and brother Jno. NJ Fleming,
of our own immortality, and that it becomes US as
accountable beings to Almighty God, to make that
needed preparation for our removal.
End That while We deeply deplore our loss, we bow
with humble submission to the will of the All wise
God.
Sd, That We deeply sympathize with the bereaved
family, and pray that God may be to his widow q
husband, and to his children father.
18th, That these resolutions be spread upon the
records of our Court and that copy of the same
be sent to the Spirit Of the Age for publication with
request that the City papers copy the same.

The Cedar Run Fight.

In the first announcement of this battle the Rich.
mond papers stated that Gen. Ransom's brigade was
IN the battle. This was the only intimation that
any North Carolinians were in the battle. We at
once stated that this was an error and that it must
have been Gen. Branch's or Gen. Pender's brigade.
Nothing further has appeared in the Richmond pa
pers in regard to the part borne by North Caro-
linians
We learn from an officer of the army that Gen.
Branchs and Gen. Pender's brigades were both in
the fight and the 2lstN. G. Regiment in General
Ewers brigade. A portion of Gen. Branch's brig
ade suffered considerably but our other forces were
more fortunate
1t is to be deplored that none of our North Caro-
lima officers or men feel enough public interest in
the NATTER to give the papers of this State, or of
Richmond or Petersburg an early and reliable &C.
count of battles in which North Carolina forces ere
engaged. Many Of our People are frequently left in
suspense for weeks in regard to the fate of their
friends, simply because North Carolnans will not
attend to the matter. Will not the friends of tho
Standard in the army do better in future, and give
early details Of every fight in which they are en-
gagged? An intelligent gentleman from Gordons-
vile says that our entire loss in killed, wounded
and missing was not over seven hundred-the Yam
kee loss was about 5000.

A New Medical Work.

We refer our readers to the proposition of DR..
Edward Warren, prominent member of the pro-
fession in this State, to publish work on Surgery,
adapted to the wants of the Army at this period
We judge such work is needed and would be in
valuable to the profession. Few perhaps are better
prepared by extensive reading, practice and the
necessary facilities to bring out such work, than
DR.. Warren. We hope it will be literally encour-
aged.
By the way, We are glad to see that movement
has been made in Congress to investigate, reform
and render more efficient the hygeinic and surgical
departments Of the government especially around
Richmond. From all we can learn, there is no de-
partment which calls more loudly for reform than
this. Incompstency idleness, drunkenness and pal
pable neglect among Confederate Surgeons, said
to have murdered more of our brave men about
Richmond than Yankee bullets. Some instances
which have come to our knowledge call for the Sc
verest punishment If neglect, incompetency or
drunkenness subjects Confederate army officer to
censure reprimand, expulsion or even death, why
should not the same crime be as severely punished
when Confederate Surgeons are guilty? We pre-
sumo the work proposed to be published by DR..
Warren will be valuable aid to experienced and
intelligent Surgeons. None others should be put
in the service.
