As the modern nero, the brutal, OenSlIy
and sanguinary savage, Gen. B. +, But.
Ter, has, by virtue of his genera! order No.
90, dated at New Orleans on the 18th of
Nav, violated the principles of warfare,
and as he proposes TO outrage the chastity
of the women OF the South who, by the
misrortunes Of war, fall into his hands, it
is our plain duty to rid our country and
the world OF the horrid, hdeous monster,
by any means that can be commanded.
When a man turns to be an enemy OF the
buman race he forfeits his right 10 a hab-
itation upon the face Of The world and
he who rids the world OF such an un-
natural creature is entitled to a monument
in the memory Of mankind.
Let there BE purse Of $4,000 made
IN and offered for the head Of this man
Butler. or TO anv one who will take his
life by any means whatever. Ii the per-
son who kills him should lose bis own
life by doing so, let the money 60 to his
heirs, or to whoever he may Designate
would suggest that this money be made
up in sums Of not less than SlOO.

The MiSsi,sippian, edi:orialy, has the
following:
ASSASSINATION OF THE INFAMOUS BUTLER
For day or two past we have "heard
upon the breeze" report that the mon
ster who has so outraged the moral senti.
ment Of mankind by his proclamation and
orders had been sent "where the wicked
cease from troubling" We fear the re-
port has no foundation in fact. Perhap;
the wish was father 20 the thought.
1t would be retributive justice, not re
venge, which would consign him to the
gulf Of black despair-deep "as his will
for others would dictate" The mos
pious heart might, without irreverence
calculate the prayer-"Cancel his bond o
life, great God, | pray, that l may live II
say the dog is dead"
What happy day will it be for th'
South when like Miriam, we can celebrate
the deliverance Of our country from tn
oppression Of race, whose moral seuti
ment and feelings the blur-eyed slandere
OF female chastity and purity is fl typ
and presentation. When that day ar
rives the only drop Of bitterness whiol
will weigh in our cup Of Joy will be the re
Election that we speak common ianguag
aud sprang from a common lineage.
And the Charleston Mercury has thi
paragraph
NO QUARTER TO PIcAYUNR RUTLER.
Let this be the sworn resolve OF every
southern man. The debased wretch an
inhuman tyrant who has published hi
proclamation consigning to the horrid EN-
braces OF bestial soldiery the mother
aud daughters of Southern city who
for the time is at their mercy. deserve
not TO be treated according to the laws {
honorable warfare. II he is caught han
him II he keeps out Of harms reanl
and ventures not upon the field Of battle
let poison or the knife do its secre, b,
deadly work. He has forfeited his Iii
in any manner by which it can be takel
to every man, woman and child in th
Confederacy. AS God is our Judse SAY
the Nississippian. we believe that th
; day of retrbulion is coming for the MOI
ster and for the Government which su
tains him in his crimes.
