General Butler.

Major General B. +. Butler, with
his wife and daughter, at the Filth
Avenue Hotel, N. Y, on the l4th inst,
received the homage Of large assem-
blage of citizens, including many OF
, the most eminent and ,honored, accom-
panied by fair representation OF the
beauty and fashion of New York, The
spacious parlors of the hotel were
. thronged for hours by the brilliant and
mobile crowd, among whom were re.
cognized Maj. Gen. Dix, Gems. Van
vliet, Webb, and others, besides the
members of Gen. Buffers staff, ex.
Mayor Opdyke, Morris Ketchum. VIM
Curtis Noyes, Rev. Messrs. Ward
Beechcr, Bellows, J. p. Thompson, &c,
sc. James Wadsworth addressed
Gen. Butler on behalf of those pres.
ent, expressing the gratitude of the
law.abding citizens for the signal SER
vice rendered by his presence to the
cause of Order and Peace, and asking
him to favor those present with his
views concerning our National condi-
ton and prosperity, especially as at,
fected by the result Of our recent cleo
ton.
Gen. Butler, in reply, avowcd his
conviction that this result was moral
victory for the National cause more
important and decisive than a signal
triumph of our arms. 1t was dem.
onstra.ion of the willingness of the
People to brave further sacrifices and
sufferings, if need be, in defence Of the
unity and perpctnity of the Republic.
It would SO be regarded in Europe and
in those portions of our country still
under Rebel domination. 1t would
carry despair to the hearts of many,
convincing them that the success OF
the Rebellion was no longer possible.
/. would encourage and invigoratc our
armies, while paralyzing the excrtions
of the Rebels. 1t would be every
where received as proof that the Tn
ion is never to be surrendered.
He thought that our Government
might now prefer the olive branch to
the Rebels. rendering them liberal and
even generous terms Of adjustment in
case Of their return to the Union, and
giving them q reasonable time--say,
till the Sth Of January next-to signi-
fly their acquiesccnce; If they held
out, then he would favor a most cner-
getic aud unsparing prosecution OF
the War, to the end that the obstinate
ly disloyal should be driven to Mexico
or elscwherc-at all events, out Of the
country-and their estates divided
among the Union soldiers who had
contributed to their overthrow.

Tha nntv of the Hour.

That greas Struggle a about 10 take place for the
posse ssion OF Richmond, is conceded ON all hands,.
The enemy is marshaling his cohorts on the Kappa
hammock and the Peninsula and that last desperate
Jrt will be made to overrun Virginia and occupy her
ancient capital IS admitted BY the enemy himself
What then becomes The duty Of the people Of Richmond
in view Of the mighty conf OF at hard Tits evidently
the same as that Of the commander OF nian-Of.War
Who lAs out Of port 70 engage the foes Of his Gag In
mortal combat The decks ceasei for action, non'
combatans are srdSted below or ashore, the supply
Of ammunition and food is looked to, and short
prayer uttered that heaven will favor the right and
proecs the land and the loved fer whom the battle
is Wsgsd.
Such is nov the duty Of the people Of Richmond
Every preparation should be made for TIE approaching
conflict And every obstacle removed which can hinder
or embarass the movements OF our armies. II there
L q mar, or woman, or child in the city who cAnnoi
serve the cause here and who find temporary refuge
elsewhere they should withdraw Immediately and thus
clear the decks and diminish the consumption Of food
The tIaini employed in bringing supplies for their sub
sstenee might then be used in transporting reePs
and for every non cOmbatant thus withdrawn soldier
might be substituted and supported The food now
consumed BY persons who can render no assistance,
aud which is hauled over oVertaxed railways, would be
available for armed men, allie and ready to deierd the
city again. the assaults Of the invader. Armies, like
men, are confused and embarrassed BY frightened Wo-
men end children crying to them for assistance and
olngiDg to them for support.
We sincerely hope and pray tia; tho red waves Of
battle may not, as in 1852, roll AID break and hes
against the walls of the Capital and the Of our suf
erng bu resolute people may never sgain be salued
by the reports Of hottie guns. Bat hopes may be
disappointed; the enemy may come again as he has
eoms BEFORE and for aught know, the battle may be
ought on theaO hills and ia these streets. It is with
view to this possible contingency that we would urge
upon cur p,ope to MAKE all neediul preparation for
whatever fate bsides them and especially to give our
brave and uqusraOe defenders clear deck and an
open field And above al let the living orAcles Of our
holy religion aud picuI and women of every per-
suasion rember that God alone giveth the victory, and
that Hsea is ever open the prayer of the righteous.

ia consequence of numerous applications

Nov, therefore. for the purpose OF removing such
aisconeeption, and to prevent any violation Of
aese Instructions it is hereby ordered:
|. That no officer of the Government shall IN
aa any circumstances whatever, impress the
npples which a party has for his own consump-
ion Or that of his family, employees ortslaves.

which are on their way to market for sale on ar

sructions originally issued in relation to inn
pessment by the Secretary of War, and the Off
afs exercising such authority are again notified

hOrity given in thvse instructions, will be held
strictly responsible.
In conformity with the foregoing, to prevent
any inconsiderate action on the part of officers
