RThe North Carolina rebels al

~The North Carolina rebels are
greatly exercised about the appoint
meut Of Gen. Butler as Commander Of
that District. 1t shows their fear OF
bis stern rule. They well know his
method Of dealing with rebels. Al
ready bis proclamatiOns have caused q
shifting Of the knees among the traitors.
A few more Generals like Butler, and
this war would not exist to-day. He
handles treason without gloves. His
object is not to prolong, but to crush IL
out. Already his influence is felt in
that section, and when once in Raleigh,
as soon be will be, we may expect the
old North State to return to reason and
her allegiance.
Butler is eminently the man for the
times. He is the coming man for the
next Presidency. When accounts come
to be squared with Copperheads and
traitors, We need man Of his iron
will, resolution and courage. to execute
the laws, and see that traitors are exc
cuted also. srr1
