Departure OF Cen. Butler. rroop..

The Evenb'g Post, of last night, contains the
following, on the departure Of General Butler
troops:
Major Gen. Butler, as already reported, left
this city for Washington, yesterday. and will
go TO the front. The troops which were placed
under his command for special service sailed
for the james river on Monday evening; their
services, fortunately, not having been required
As no breach of the peace occurred, there was
no occasion TO land man In this city. The
soldiers were within call on Tuesday, Wednes.
day, and Thursday, and could have been
marched to any part Of the city in half an hour.
These troops arrived at Fort Hamilton and
Governors Island on the Monday afternoon
p. eceding the election. On Tuesday morning
they were placed on board Of steamers, and the
vessels were stationed at various points opposite
the battery and In the North and East rivers.
This disposition Of the military was made in
order TO prevent possible collisions and to
avoid the appearance Of intimidation at the
polls.

The New York H,rdM of yesterday, undel
the head Of " Blessings in Disguise" has tn,
following on the results Of the war:
In great war like this the individual is los
In the grandeur of the results. Private Jone
falls and is carried to grave or the hospital
but the Union triumphs In the fight. Mer
chant Brown, whose customers are In the South
makes a very bad failure; but the war set
thousands of other merchants upon their feet
See what this war has already done for thI
country. 1t has developed resources of whicl
we were previously ignorant. Iron, coal, cop
per and saltpetre mines have been discovered
In the South In numbers and locations un-
dreamed of before the war. Canals have been
built like those upon the Mississippi and at
Dutch Gap, which were simply impossible To
private enterprise, and which will greatly
facilitate navigation. Harbors hitherto un.
known are now crowded with our shipping.
Wherever new railroads are needed they are
laid down at the unprecedented rate of mile a
day. The telegraph follows our armies where.
ever they 90. Soldiers turn editors and start
newspapers in the enemy's country, and oLr
generals take the stump as soon as they have
taken a city, and proceed 10 instruct the people
they have conquered. The slavery question
which was our only source OF disturbance, has
been cot by the sword, like the GOrdian knot
and now seems in fair way to settle Itself
through the desperate measures OF the rebel
leaders. The whole South, hitherto reserved
for negro plantations, Ia being thrown open Ia
foreign immigration. This same immigration
constantly recuperates the North, and /. rather
increased than diminished by the war. DOmes,
tic manufactures are wonderfully encoura. ed.
Inventions multiply upon us. We have created
an iron-clad navy, such as 1t Ia. On sea or on
land, with sailors or with soldiers, we are now
more than a match fer any other nation upon
the face of the earth.
These are some of the benefits which we, as
people, have already derived from this war,
and we might enumeratc many more were our
space equal TO the requirements OF the subject.
But any one who can appreciate the full scope
OF the benefits we have recited will need No
further argument to convince him that the war
is really blessing to the country. When II
shall end in the complete restoration of the
Union its blessings will be even more apparent
The anger, ptejudices, the jealousles which II
has created, will soon pass away; but the tee,
graphs, the railroads, the canals, the harbors
the various improvements which II has also
created will then remain. The sentiment Of
nationality, Of devotion to the UniOn, of faith
in the brave old flag will remain likewise.

General Hooker was at Toledo on the 10Th,

for defensive purposes. The Rqdc says
son his way from the depot to the tug, he
stopped at the Board Of Trade rooms to get a
chart of the river and hay. As soon as he en-
tered the room it was filed with citizens, and
he was completely hankcd. Seeing no way of
escape, he surrendered handsomely, in a neat
and patriotic little speech. Upon being intro
duced t" the gathering by Harry Chase, ESQ.,,

substantially as follows;"

The hopes based upon the Peace party Of the
North, have long been the chief prop Of the

against defeats and difficulties for long time,
in the hope that the Presidential election of
1864 would bring them relief. They well know
that armistce and negotiations mean nothing
less than separation and dissolution of the
Union, and hence their dependence upon the
Peace party.

ASOCTHBRS Recently in Paris,
at one of the clubs, Mr.. JohL slidell, on being
asked to explain why 1t was that such extreme
hatred and bitterness Of feeling were manifest-
ed on all occasions by the Southerners towards
the Northerners, while the latter never exhlb-
tied any such sentiments, replied, In his usual
bOmbastlc manner, that the explanation was
very simple inteed "The SOutherners were the
aristoCracy of America, while tue Northerners
were nothing but a herd OF vulgar, peddl!ng
traders.' Now II Is in the memory Of some OF
our citizens that this John slidell this expo.

and dlshonorable act, with an Injunction from

he was either very high-mlnded or a very

In Trinity churchyard, in this city, may be

Slidell, native Of England, tallow chandler, ~
grandfather OF John slidell, aristocrat. In old
days, the late W. T. Robinson, of the firm OF
Franklin, Robinson X Co., had apprentiCcd Ia
him two poor emiCrant Scotch girls-Debby

Slidell, Aristocrat, and Margery TO Thomas

ployer, as an acknowledgment of their good
conduct, Cancelled their articles on the occa,

The above statement, contributed by a cor.
respondent to the New York Ecening Post, is
undoubtedly true. The regret is, that Slidell
should have 80 degenerated from the honest
parents referred to. How they would have
blushed If they had dreamed their grandson
would run such a career as that of the present
representative Of the ConfederaCy in France.
If some loyal American, after Mr.. slldell's

Mr.. Lincoln's reelection in 1864 Is In no re-
spect less remarkable than was his election In
lSOO. The percentage of increase in the popu-
lar vote in New York and elsewhere, on Tues.
day week, indicates that the total vote for
Mcclellan and Lincoln will reach five millions
nearly half 4 million more than the number
OF votes cast in 1860. In other words, the in
crease in the loyal more than makes good the
deficiency in tho seeded States, and Mr. Lin
coin is reelected by majortles on larger
number OF sulrageS than were ever before cast
In the United States.
No other President since the time OF George
Washington-not even excepting Franklin
Pierce, who received the votes of all but four
States-was ever before SO truly and literally
the representative of the American people.
This fact cannot fail to exercise n beneficial
influence on the temper of parties at the pres
