Gen. Butler Doing a Good Work
in Norfolk.
Two thousand Took the Oath Yes.
terday.

Especial Dispatch to the Nations, Republican,
NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 16.-Thls city, for some
time past, has been filled with rebels and secesh
Indeed, SO bold have they been that in several
instances they threatened to tear down the
flag. Few, If any, of these demonstrations,
however, have been made since this department
has been commanded by the man who, In New
Orleans, ordered the traitor Mum ford to be shot
for hauling down the flag.
General Butler has commenced the work
of administering the oath recommended
by the Proclamation of the President. Yes
terday over two thousand took the oath.
The administration of It will be continued
to-day. We believe II is the intention Of Gen.
Butler to send all those who will not tsko 1t
across the lines into rebeldom, where they can
enjoy the blessings of JEFF. Davis slave oil
garchy, and such "home comforts, as are
furnished our soldiers who are prisoners in
Richmond. Gen. Butler is the man for this
Department.

We learn that assertions from the army are
rather frequent, the deserters crossing tn,
Potomac on RATS. The dclinquents are gen,
orally pretty thoroughly stripped of every
thing valuable before they get into Mary
land, as they encounter on their way guer,
riii"s who relieve them Of money, watches,
and whatever they have that seemeth good
to the guerrilla. The amiablc women of the
country through which the misguided deserters
pass direct them, when inquirlng their way, to
the places where the guerrlllas are sequestei cd
anu thu' they are pretty snre to fall into the
hands OF the robbers. Verify, the way of the
deserter Ia hard.

There was more than the usual excitement
on Monday while the members were drawing
their seats. We before announced that Gen.
Garfield drew the first seat. Hon. Mr.. Grin.
nell, of Iowa, drew carly, and took seat near
the one so long occupied by Mr.. Stevens, Of
Pa, the Nestor Of the House. 1t was III luck
for Mr.. Stevens losing his locality and asso.
eiates, but Mr.. Grinnell generously gave mp his
seat, saying that the high respect he had for
his age and the regard in which he held his
principles would lead him to do no less.
Several old members congratulated Mr.. Grin.

Firy-hve Members or Congress yot,p z
for an Advocate Of Slavery.

One Of the most humiliating events of the
times Is that fifty-hve members of Congress
could be found to vote for Bishop Hopkins, of
Vermont, as chaplain Of the House Of Repre-.
sentatives. Not that Bishop Hopkins is per-
sonally unworthy OF honor. He Is q learned
aud eloquent prelate, of good character, and
capable, doubtless, Of instructIng members by
his sermons and edifying them by his prayers.
But 1t was not his character, not his attain.
ments, not his eloquence, not his capacity to
instruct or to edify, which commended Bishop
Hopkins to the suffrages of these fifty.fiye
members. The single quality which led them
to vote for him was his devotion to slavery; the
single circumstance which fitted him, In The
minds OF these persons, to be chaplain Of
Congress, was that he had written a book in
defence and praise of human bondage.-N. Y.
Evening Post. da. 81 % "
1t Is proper u gay that Hopkins was the
Copperhead candidate In the House for chap.
lain, and that many war Democrats were un.
induced to vote for him. They
regret having done SO more than the editor OF
the Post can, because the record stands against
an everlasting dlsgraoe until wiped out by
some subsequent act Of repentance, which we
have reason to believe will soon be made
