The Largest Paper in the State


Tales and Poetry original and selected will
receive proper attention.
Both papers - the Daily and the Weekly -
will be largely devoted, as heretofore, to the dis
cussion OF the great principles which underlie
our free institutions, and will give generous
ana whole souled support to all the measures
necessary TO put down rebellion, to overthrow
dsloyalty IN all its FORMS and to re-establish the
authority of the Constitution the laws. ma the
Observation-Disclosures of the government
over every foot of our common domain.
On the great questions of Progress. Humanity
Liberty and Equal Rights, being forced unon
the attention of the nation by the crisis through
which our institutions and our constitutional
Government arc now passing. the PsEss will Mt
ter no cquiyocal voice and occupy no doubtful
position. The emancipation of those held in
bonds before the rebellion - the death of slavery
that Liberty and the Nation may live - will find
the Press neither hestating nor reserved in its
advocacy and support.
In a word, the Press will stand by the pov-
crnment under all contingencies, and defend
and support those who labor to maintain its in
tegrity and honor; and it will be, as it has been
heretofore, the uncompromising foe of all rebels
and rebel sympathizers, without respect to their
locality or position.
In the political campaign TO be fought before
the close of theyear 1864, the PREss will be found
acting with loyal Union men, irrespective of an
tecedents, and opposing all disloyal men. on

taken as an indicationof what it proposes forithe

General Bu,ler Talking to a RsbsI
Clergyman.


Clergyman.
The Norfolk New Regime, of March
%, publishes two-column report of the
examination of Rev. George D. Arm
stroug, of that city, by General Butler.
This is the same clergyman who was re-
Gently sentenced to imprisonment ut Fort
Hatteras for his Rebel sentiments. An
aid of General Butler conducted the first
examination, but the General himself
afterward made careful,persOnal inves-
tigatiOn, cross.questiOning Mr.. Armstrong
very sharply, The following are extracts
from the report of the interview:
General Butler-I perceive that in
your former examination you declined
answering this question: "Do you call
Yourself q loyal man in letter and spirit
to-day"
Nj. Armstrong; do not decline to an-
swer now; if were to put my own inter
probation upon it, 1 should say / am, but
| don't know, sir.
General-Well, sir, perhaps l can teach
you. Now, sir, what is tho name of that
gentleman who had taken the oath, and
while coming out of the Custom House
with you made the remark that he "wohld
like 70 spit upon the Northern Y Yankees, ?,
Mr.. A.-Mr. Chas. Reid. declined to
answer, on my former examination be-
cause ], had not his consent to tell, sir;
but since that have seen him, and he
has given mo his consent to mention his
GsnefalGWhefs is Mr.. Reidi Z
Mr.. A.-Hc is in Norfolk.
General-(ro auaide) Telegraph to
Colonel Wheldon, Provost Marshal,
NUrfUlk,) TO arrest Mr. Charles Reid
aud send him here. He lives on Main
street =
SGeneral-He stated that as he came
out from taking the oath.
Mr.. A.-Yes, Sir. asi
GeneralZNYith the oath fresh on his
lips and the words hardly dry in his
mouth, he said he wanted % spit in
the face Of Of the northern Ysnkeesl'
Daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, Va. [W. Va.]) 1859-1865, 1864-04-07
ar. A.-well, General, he took it with
the same view as did.
General-I agrees to that, sir.

4 1Ahs Ehs-WGll IOUk IL Will
the same view as L did.
General-I agrees to that, sir.
Mr. Al meant to say
insulted. You said, sir, that that infer.
nal secessionist wanted to spit in the tu-
ces of loyal men of this Union, and thut
| you took the oath with the same view as
he did, or rather he took it with the same
view that you dfd-it makes no difference
which. / agree, sir that you did. have
treated you, sir, during this interview.
with prOpriety and courtesy up to this mu-
ment, nnd yet you, sir, hero tell me. in Or
der to clear this vile wretch, who shall be
punished as he deserves, that YOU took
the oath to my government with the same
view that he did.
Mr. A.-Well, sir, it was mortifyiuR
fast to confess that we were n conquered
people; and it was the irritation growing
out Of that fact.
General-YOu have not helped it, sir.
You had not better go on in that direction
any further, sir, for your own sake. Now,
sir while you didfpreach very Virnlent
sermon upon the ''Yictory of Manassas
at the recommendation of the Confederate
Congress, have you ever since preached 10
your pulpit sermon favorable To the
Union cause, or one that would be likely
TO please the loyal and displease the dis
loyal?
After some further questioning, the ex-
animation was continued as follows:
General-Yon said you looked upon the
hanging of John Brown as just hud right,
because he interfered with the peace Of the
country.
Mr.. A.-Yes, sir.
General-Very good, sir. Now, then
would you look upon the hanging of the
prominent rebels, Jefferson Davis, for ID.
Stance, ds just aud right. You know the
rebels have iuterfered with the peace Of
the country, and have caused rivers Of
blood to aOw, where John Brown only
caused Pints. What do you say 10 thai! |
Mr.. Al would not, sir. 5i
General-Are your sympathies with the
Uoion or the Confederate cause!
Mr. A,-With the Oonfederates.
The examination cOncldded with the fol. |
lowing order from the General:
Make an order that this man be com.
mi.Ied to the guard house. in close con
hnement, there to remain uotil he eau bt
consigned to Fort Hatteras. there TO bt
kept in solitary confinement until further
orders, aud send II copy of this examiua-
lion to the officer in command there.
