yhichis now about finished land which will be sent in
tothe Legislature week from tomorrow; will take un

6eus follows upon therecent prOclaatiOnof Presi'

We publish this morning. proclamation of The Pre-
sident of the socaled Southern Conederacy aimed
pressy and definitely at General Butler energetic
commander at New Orleans We think readers will
justify in characterzng this as the most digricel
paper yet issued by that greatest Of Gaseous the South
ern Confederacy. 1t Is filed with Interpretations
and fasehoods and upon that it bases anean; brutal
and cowardly revenge. We do not recolect case
where agrea nation such the Confederacy claims 10
be- through its constituted representatives has recorded
in such unmistakabe terms its hatred and terror Of
single individual The nearest approaches TO the
execution Of Charles by the Roundheads, and the exc
cution Of Louis XVI by the Jacobns; and those MUIR
ders had some show Of reason because each of the VIC
timswa the head OF the royalist party-the centre
around which all the opponents of the rebellion rallied.
But Gen Butter simpl! subordinate, commanding a.
small department obeyng the orders OF hi' superiors,
and responsible 10 them. - ..
T. We look upon this simply as portion Of concerted
movement on tie part Of the enemies Of tho Govern
nIent both North aud South to have OF our most
sicientand able generals removed from position whr5
be Is doing perhaps more damage TO the rebel cause
than any other connected with the Federal Government
For months the NeY York World aud Herald" have
teened with the grosses SANDERS upon Gen. Butler, and
have caored most furiousy for his removal The cap
ture OF New Orleans the hardes. blow the seces-
onists have yet received. The vigorous administrator
Of Gen. Butler and his eternal vigilance which has pre-
vented the enemy from either getting at him or getting
out of his clutches has exasperated them the last
degree Every exertion in their power has been made
tde ry bis abilities and TO backen his fame aud la
of all comes this bullying and undgni6ed threat OF Davis
TO hang him II. he catches him: -. :.
This is only another instance of the desperation Of
the -rebelcause 4 Government that felt strong and
confident would never descend TO petty exhibition
of malice and revenge this document evincos 1t is
proof of the terror which tho emancipation proclama:
ton of the President has struck the hearts Of the
rebels e." e - . =
