SIGNS OF THE TIMEs.-George s. billiard,
Of Boston, "a friend of Daniel Webster and
Rufus Choate, in recent letter says:
have never been member of the Demo,
cratic party, but am convinced that there
is now no hope Of ending this deplorable
war and restoring the Union but by and
through that party

the Supreme Cou't of New Hampshire, and
never member of the Democratic party,
is equally decided in his views of the mission
of that party to restore the country. He
says:
Most assuredly, do at this time deeply
and cordially sympathize with the Democracy
in their efforts to maintain the Constitution,
to preserve the rights OF free speech, and the
liberty of the press, personal freedom from
arbitrary arrest and imprisonment, and the
supremacy of the civil law in all places not
occupied by the Union forces for the prose.

GEN. BUTLER IN THE REAR.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the S. F. Bulletin,
says:
AT last Major Gen. 3. T. Butler has ta'
ken the step to the rear which was expected
some weeks ago and suspended for political
reasons In other words he has gone to
Fortress MonYoe-his command in he field
having been for two or three weeks past ma
neuvred by Gen. Grant as part of the army
of the Potomac.
Ia Connection with this fact you will also
notice that the Senate has confirmed the
nomination of Quincy A. Gilmore to be n
Mai or General Of volunteers. This contir
nation had been suspendel some time in
consequence Of General Buffers charges
against Gilmore Of disobedieuce of orders
because he failed to attack the rebel line of
works before Petersburg with 5000 men,
The verdict Of the Senate is an entire and
honorable acquittaI of Gilmore and a con
vlctiOn OF his accuser, whose military inca
pacity has been SO frequently md disastrous
~ experienced that it Is sincerely hoped his
operations hereafter will be confined TO points
distau! from the field.
