sB- Gen. Butler is just at present one of
the best abused officers in the service. Here
is Secretary Stewards reply to the squeamish
protest of the British government against his
famous order respecting the New Orleans
women:
l answered him that he must ask his govern
ment, in reading that proclamation, TO adopt
rule Of construction which the British nation
had elevated TO the dignity OF principle, and
made the motto of their national arms -
"Honi soft qui NAL y pense." That it was not
until gross construction of the order was
brought to the knowledge of this government
that we saw that the proclamation contained
un double eateRdre.
That gross meaning the government of
course rejected, and it regretted that in the
haste of composition phraseology which
could be mistaken or perverted had been used.
/ was happy, however, to inform him that all
sensibility about the order seemed To have
passed away, and no complaints were now
heard of any improperly of conduct ON the
part OF the ladies of New Orleans. ! ex-

CASE OF COMMANDER sPREBLE.-We are
informed that the paragraphs which have with
in the last few days been published concerning
the case of Commander Prebe, and its refer
ence to Board of Officers, convey several
erroneous impressions. The Board was not
ordered at the instance of Com. Preble, or of
his friends, but was the suggestion of the Sec
retary of the Navy. and gained the reluctant
consent of Com. Preble, who did not consider
it the fnll.and fair investigation he asked, but
hoped it would lead to that result. The in
structions 10 the Board limited them to the
examination of Prebe's reports, all other evil
dence of Admiral Farragut, or the officers of
the Oneida being excluded, and the Board was
induced to report only on one particular point
The question whether his dismissal was just
and merited never came before them. There

The Cabinet and the Battle OF Fredericks-

The Washington correspondents OF the fhll-
adelphia and New York papers give all sorts
of rumors relating to difficulties in the Caol-
net and alleged designations, most Oh winch
appear to us to be mere speculatlons' WITHOUT
sny foundation in fact. 1t is undoubtedly
true that Mr.. Seward rendered his resignation,
and probable that Mr.. Chase did, but 1t does
not appear that either of them have been ac-
cepted by the President. Or telegraphic re-
norts from the Agent OF the Associated Press
at Washington, will undoubtedly give us the
true state of matters. In the meantime it is
only necessary to say that one, or two, or three
designations of members of the Cabinet VIII
not by any means break up the Government
nor the Administration = no. not even the
RESIGNATION OF the whole Cabinet People
will do well to bear in mind the rupture in the
Cabinet of Gen. Jackson in 1880, when the
old hero was determined TO have unit, and
when those who did not choose to resign were
unceremonously turned out There was no
DELAY or disturbance in the administration OF
the government at that time, and, will not be
now.

assume the entire responsibility of the disas-
trous attack at Fredericksburg. The nation
will pardon much to his energetic patriot
ism, to his disposition to serve the country in
this hour Of need by action. The Republic is
not lost, nor are the people disheartened. This
government will be saved if mortal effort is
equal to the task, and the pitiful, yelping cow
ards, who have been whining and wringiDg
their hands and lamenting the misfortune which
would appear to have involved these powerful
States in sudden, overwhelming ruin, may as
well suspend their ululation for the present.
The nation is not dying, and if it were-is 1t
better to die like men, or like hounds?
