NRw YoRK, Nov. 7.-Gen. Butler, by
the direction of the President Of the Uni.
ted States and by assignment of Gen. Dix,
commanding the Department Of the East,
has assumed command of the military
forces in this State, for the purpose Of
preserving order until after the presiden-
tial election, and preventing the execution
of the supposed raid Of the rebels and reb-
el sympAthiEers to carry ont g systematic
plundering and running raid upon our
principal cities. Gen. Butler in his official
order states TO the citizens that they must
apprehend no interference with their
rights of privileges as electors, as his sub
ordinates are instructed to refrain from
any thing Of the kind. His only object is
to preserve peace.
Superintendent Kennedy has Issued an
order to the members of the Metropolitan
Police, instructing them to appear to-
morrow throughout the District, in COM
pIisnce with the State law requiring that
no intoxicating liquors shall be sold on
the election day, that no box for the dis
tribution Of tickets shall be erected within
100 feet Of a polling place, and that no IN.
justifCable physical strength shall be
used either by policemen or citizens to
incite or intimidate electors.

B8eA- FALsBHooD RlgUTED.-We gladly
give place to the following communication
from the officers of the old I'D West Va.
Cavalry, in refutation Of the Islander pub
lished in the Mcclellan sheet yesterday
morning, first, because it is due to the
brave men who have for three long years
battled against the armed hosts of treason
in the field; and secondly, that all honest
men may be convinced Of the interruptions
character Of the party that baulks not at
the most unmitigated falsehoods in it's mad
attempt to back mp the cause of treason
and of traitors:
Editors INtelLigeneer:-
The following paragraph appeared in
the Register of this city yesterday morning:
"A company Of soldiers belonging to the Second
Western Virginia Cavalry arrived In this city yes.
terdAy evening. 10 an there were hfty.eight men,
were present at the Mcclellan Club Room Saturday
night and were the most enthusiastic supporters OF
Little Mac we ever saw"
We were not much surprised to find the
above specimen of malicious falsehood in
the Re0iSter, Of yesterday morning. The
editor of that paper knew when he penned
the above that he wrote what was false
and calculated to injure the well earned
reputation of the regiment, as one most
devoted to loyalty, and unanimously in fay-
or of crushing the rebellion, and Of the
election of Abraham Lincoln. The detach-
ment above referred to numbered one hum
dred and fifteen men, of the right stamp.
OF these one hundred and three are sup
porters Of Lincoln and johnson. The 9TH
er twelve are for fighting as they have done
for over three years, until the Union is
and traitors, home and abroad,
have learned to obey the laws of the land.
We would ask the editor of the RsgiSter
never again to. publish libel against
so we'll known throughout Virgil
mia, Maryland and Tennessee, for its devo-
ton to the:Union cause.
