Boston, January ID.
Gen. Butler had an enthusiastic rrcen-
ZION here to-day. He was escorted to Fan.
euil Hall, which was crowded with ladies
and gentlemen. The hall was decorated
for che occasion, the hall was decorated
ter the names of the panels of the gall, 1ies
oearln names Of cities and battles famous
by his deeds. When Butler entered the
naIl ne was entns'osti19lly greeted by the
waving OF handk erchiels aud cheers,
mayor Lincoln introduced Butler. and
SIiSded 70 the rebels having offered $780,
VVO Tor ms head. Immense applause fol-
lowed this Introduction.
zen: Butler spoke with great feeling.
ana said that when Government said tie
word, be was ready to go North, South,
East or West. In his judgment we have
exhausted Cancellation, an there Should
be no peace, nor could there be until the
ESDels were content to receive it as a Part
OF the Union. His plan of paying the war
ueDt was the introduction of free labor at
the south, whereby labor would become
honorable, and by which more abundant
crops OF cotton could he raised with profit.
At less cost than by slave labor. Cutton
couIo De raised at profit for less than ten
cents Per pound. We were now paving
70 w. Ut TAX OF ~ cents pound
on cotton, thus bringing the market pricc
ut ~ cents, and we have an internal reve
nue. from that source alone enough to nav
the interest on a war debt twice as laroe
az that we now have. Besi4es, by doing
this, England and France, which have
done so much to prolong the war, would
have 70 pay large proportion Of the debt,
Gen. Butler ccnclu led by presenting to the
Mayor an elegant Confederate flag, taken
from the City Hall at New Orleans. This
nag he gave to Boston, not as trophy, bus
q memento of the evils Of secession.
=, Among the decoratious on the route of
the procession was large flag unfurled
from the residence Of Hon. Edward Eve
Fett.
A public dinner was rendered to Gsusrol
Butler, but he declined it.

From the New York Commercial. !


The following extract from a letter re.
ceived in this city from a highly respecta-
BILE merchant in Liverpool may assist in
quieting the fears of some, in regard tc
the much dreaded interference Of Eng
land in our domestic quarrel.
''The subscriptions raised in your city
for the distressed working people here arc
truly liberal. and hope show that there
is not so much i'll feeling towards Eug
land as has been represented at least, it
must mitigate it very much. Mr.. Seward
need not be much alarmed about interven-
ton On the part of England there has new
or been much of feeling here in favor of
1t, and now doubt if there is any at all.
The opinion is gaining ground that we
must look to other quarters for cotton, for
even if peace were made, the supply from
the United States will be very precarious
Tor some time to come hence many think
that the raising of the blockade would be
rather an evil THAI otherwise at this time
tending as would TO decrease the COLT
yatiOn ofthe article in other PLACES"

dices Of the people Of their section, who
were Ignorant Of their designs, finally .uc-
ceeded - arraying the Southern States in
an attitude Of hostility to the North.
Even after the coumen cement Of eur
troubles, Gov. Seymour says that if the
President had discarded the ccunsels of tho

ton as bis guiding chart, one cause Of the

Southern people, through their own vo'-
entarJ Gction, might have hurled from
