Position of General Butler-Speech
Boston.

The Union State League OF Massachu-
setts recently held meeting in Boston.
to appoint delegates to the National
League Convention, which is to meet in
Washington in December. Gen. Butler
and William Claf1in were chosen delegates
at large. The Transcript SAYS:
General Butler addressed the meeting
at length, taking ground with those who
believe the seeded states have annihilated
themselves as states, while the power oil
The general government still remains in.
TACT owes their territory. He opposed the
position Of a member Of the Cabinet tn at
that the rebel commonwealth by throw
ing down their arms should be received
into the Union with unimpsired rights,
and with their old local institutions. His
reasons for debating terms, before allow
these hostile sections, sprang from con.
siderations vitality affecting the interests
and safety OF the nation.
"lf the Confederate States are read =
mi.ted, and their representatives take their
seats in Congress before some radical
change is effected, what guaranty is there
that the federal national debt will not be
Regulated or made 10 stand upon the
alternative that the Con federate debt
must likewise be paid. Let this question
come before Congress. and all the appli.
ances OF corruption would be set in mo-.
ton to secure such decision as would
place the federal and rebel Indebtedness
upon the same footing.
General Butler contended that the
rebel states must be regarded as destroyed
or it would be almost impossible to choose
another President, for the reason that no
candidate likely to be selected would re-
ceive such support in the North as TO
give him majority OF the whole electoral
college, constituted of all the states, both
loyal and rebel. Transfer the question
to the House Of Representatives, where
each commonwealth casts only one vote,
and majority Of such votes is required,
aud the difficulty will be greatly increased
The policy OF safety and justice was TO
restore the Union in the South only as
fast as the principles of freedom and 10y.

CONCERNING THE RUssIANs.-A reporter,
who accompanied the train which conveyed
the Russian party to Niagara Falls, speaks
as follows of them;
"Tne Russian officers are generrlly men
Of culture. and of high social standing in
their own country. Students cannot enter
the Naval Academy in Russia--where there
they arc thoroughly educated-unless they
are the sons of uoblemen, or the sons of Of
fcers. The Admiral, who was married less
than one year ago, is man ot fame and n-
fluence in Russia, and several of the men,
bors Of his suite have vast estates.--
Somo of them are familiar with English and
American4 literature, and can quote fluentiy
from Bryant and Longfellow. At least one
of their number is writing letters and send
ing them to Russia for publication in ono
of the leading journals. The st. Peters
burg Gazette, edited by one of the irst
minds in Europe, has daily circulation of
$4,000 copies"

The Case Stated.

Henry WINTER DAVIS. at tho late Union
Mass Meeting ct Baltimore, thus stated the
case of the people against the Shareholders
with regard to the enlistment of slaves for
the Union Armies:
81 have just been carrying the war into
Africa. [Laughterl Away down in wor.
eester county, they have found out in these
latter days that there are moro people than
tho nine hundred Shareholders of Worcester
county. Tboy have learned arithmetic
enough TO count that there are fifteen thou
sand wbito people, OF whom only nine hum
daed are Shareholders; and, although they
have very imperfect means of instruction
in their public schools, they all know that
l5 600 less 900 leveas $4,000 clear and some
over. [Laughter.l They have learned this
other fac, that the policy of the Government
of Maryland having heretofore been to vest
power in the hands of the few. and TO bur.
den the many for preferred inter est, it ia
time that that cease. And now eyerywbere
the poor men hsvo learned that it no lon
ger will do to levy all the soldiers out of
the white population and leave the slaves of
the Secessionists to cultivate their fields in
peace and quiet while poor men are dragged
to the war; and their families left to suffer
at home. tAppiause.] Everywhere, who're
have met the plain and uncultured men OF
the LIST District Of Maryland, and have ex-
planned to them that John W. Crisfield and
Holiday Hicks and their friends desire that
the enlistment of slaves shall stop. and
taught them that the consequence of that s
that white mon must fill up the two drafts
that impend over us; unanimously thew
have proclaimed that they are tired of dis
crlmination in favor of Shareholders and

by the voice of Maryland, down in her slave

to maintain not merely the policy of con-
Quoting the war, but the policy of tighten

A MODEST REeUEsT.-It is related Of
President Lincoln, that recently farmer
applied to him to secure his assistance
in collecting bill against the governm ent
for damsges done by troops passing thro'
his premises. The President referred
hin to the officer whose duty it was TO
attend to such matters. But the man
was ANXIOUS that Mr.. Lincoln should ex
anime the case personally; and give ar
order to have il settled. "Then," said
he, "they will attend to it q; once; other
wise l may have to wait a long time.
"Bu: have no leisure to look after such
things" said the President. ut won't
take but few minutes" urged the man
"You remind me OF what occurred to
friend OF mine on the Mississippi river,'
said the President. "He was Captain
of a steamboat. and, when passing through
the rapids. he always took the wheel. and
steered the boat himself One day wher
he was in the most difficult part o
the stream boy came blubbering
up to him, crying, Captain, Captain!
well, well, what do yon want?' %
do stop the boat, I've LOST my apple oven
boardP" The farmer saw the point o
the story, and wisely concluded to eollec
the bill in the usual routine manner.

BENEATH THE STARS.
the holy hush of even,

In the holy hush of even,
When the day has gone to rest,
And her cares and doubts and trials
Sleep like babos upon her breast,
When no busy strife or bustle
The sweet, dreamlike quiet mars,
oh, what fancies fit before us
As we sit beneath the stars.
Starry jewels fash and glitter
In the nights imperial crown
Like the clear, pure eyes of angels
Looking coldIy, calmly down;
And the flash of pearly portals,
And the gleam of golden bars,
Pass before us in our musings
As we gaze upon the stars.
Oh. had wo the mystic vision
Of Chadea's seers OF old,
Who in all tho stars above thom
The great fate of worlds behold,
What commotions and what changes,
What wild triumphs, tolls and wars,
Might we read in silver letters
On the tablet of the stars.
When tho soft blue sky of oven
Seems an inland lako at rest.
With the cleaning snow-white lilies
Sleeping on It's peaceful breast,
Then the airy hand of Fancy
Pushes back the golden bars,
Til we seem to see the glory
CT the world beyond the stars.
Then tho fleecy cloudlets, flashing
In the moonbeams pearly rays
Seem like wandering wings of angels
Slowly floating through their haze ;
or like straying poriis, drifting
In their light aerial cars,
From their paradise of beauty
In the land beyond the stars.
Starry lamps seem watch fires lighted
BY somo loved, departed hand,
To allure our wandering footsteps
To the distant spirit land, -
So that, looking through tho dmuess
That tho earthly vision mars,
We may bow in alteration ....
Before Him who made tho stars.
When at last lfe's tolls are over,
And we fold our hands to rest.
As day folds her rosy pinions
In the chambers of the West
When its mortal band no longer
The freed Spirits fligh. debars--
May We rise and dwell forovor
In tho world beyond the stars.

Henry Ward Beecher at Exeter Hall.

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher termipa.
ted at Exeter Hall, on the Goth, the series
of striking public addresses with which, to
his great credit, he has compelled the ears
of all England, both our friends and our
foes. to bearing of the American cause
If his speech at Liverpool was battle, his
speech at London was a victory. Notwith-
standing innumerable threats in advance
against the meeting, by street pIacards and
bitter newspaper articles, the meeting is
described by the London press as one Of
the most remarkable and successful ever
held in that city OF great gatherings. Long
before the appointed time, the crowd out
side Exeter Hall was SO great that Mr..
Beec her, being caught in it, was nearly
cheered and squeezed to death, till small
army of police came to open a path for him
through the multitude. Once inside, bis
reception was an ovation such as would
have been staggering to man less accus-
toned to such exhibitions. The swinging
OF hats and waving of hardkerchiefs pre-
sented scene of funrestrained enthusiasm.
An American gentleman in Londou, who
has been accustomed to hearing Mr.. Beech
er's speeches at home, says that he excelled
himself on this occasion. He carried the
house by storm. Prof. Newman, the Rev.
Newman Hall, and George Thompson added
brief speeches after MIR. Beecher concluded.
After the exercises, the rush of friends upon
Mr. Beecher-men, women, and children
struggling for q chance to shake hands with
hm-needed once more the Intervention Of
the police.
Mr.. Beecber is now probably on bis way
home.

DEPTH OF LAKE SUPERIOR MINES

DEPTH OF LAKE SUPERIOR MINEs,-Ton
years since speculations as to the probable
of our veins OF Native copper
in depth and value, were rife in this coun-
try. Then no mine in the country had
reached the level of the lake, unless it was
the Cliff; now tho main openings in that
mine arc several hundred feet under tho lake
level. Others on the Point, enc at least,
Pewabic, at Portage Lake /; and the Mime
sofa mine in this district, are also below the
level, and vet there is no prospect of fail.
ure in their paying capacities. Indeed, the
known produotiveness of our mines at a
depth below which paying copper mines in
other portions Of the world have sigualIy
failed, is causing investments in them tha
otherwise never would have been made.
Many of the copper mines in Cornwall
that yielded paying results years ago, are
now abandoned, or worked for their value
in other minerals. chiefly in tin.
In Chill, tho richest portions of their OK,
ceeding rich ore. is almost uniformly found
at from fifteen to forty fathoms below the
