Daily national Republican. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1862-1866, 1864-06-01

Senator Garrett Davis made q characte
attempt Yesterday to place one OF his blllous
resolutions before Congress and the country.
The Senate very properly refused to entertain
his preamble and resolution Of inquiry into the
charges made in the public prints and other
modes" against General Butler and his late
brother, Andrew J. Butler. The latter has
been In his grave some two months. Why did
not the Senator seek an investigation during
the lifetime OF Andrew J. Butleri Does he
prefer, jackal like, to worry the bones OF the
dead, rather than face 4 living mani
The truth Is that II tho charges made in the
copperhead printS "and other modes" were
susceptible OF proof, they would have been
Substantiated long ago by parties more directly
interested in proving them II they were true
than the Senator could be. The only object
Mr.. Davis had in moving his resolution, was,
without doubt, to hang upon 1t one of his In.
terminnble speeches. While the Senator has
seemingly endeavored to enbarrass the efforts
OF the Government in putting down the rebel
lion, Andrew Jackson Butler has made 6
record OF important services to his country.

FROM FORT MONROE.



FoRr MONROE, May 30.-It 10 no longer i'm.
proper to speak Of important movements
that have been progressing In this Department
during the past two days, as they are now fully
accomplished.
A large portion Of the troops t Bermuda
Hundred, under the command Of Gen. Butler,
have been transferred, under command of Gen.
Smith, to the Army OF the Potomac. The
troops were taken on board trsnsports, and
with great celebrity were sent up the York river
to White House, on the Pamunkey, which is
the new base Of supplies for Grants great
army. Gems. Smith aud Brooks passed up yes
terdsy after q brief stay ut this point.
Gen Gilmore remains with Gen. Butler At
Bermuda Hundred; also Gens. Ames and Wild.
Gen. Grant will certainly have no lack OF sup
piles, II one may judge from the immense stores
going to him from this point. ~

The Woousocket (R I.) Patriot records a

Decatur NJ. Boyden, of the eth Rhode leland
regiment, who was wounded In one Of the late
battles In Virginia. On the day that he was
wounded, his mother, in coming from the eel.

the voice of Decatur cry out, go, mother -
Tho voice was go natural that she expected to
see her son when she came up stairs. As no
one was there, she was convinced frbm that
moment that her son was either killed or
wounded.
Two other members Of the family, not re.
siding with the mother, and knowing nothing
OF the circumstances recorded above, dreamed
on that night that Decatur was wounded. One
Of these persons (a LADY, was 80 impressed
with her dream that she arose aud dressed her
self, being unable to sleep. The persons are
all Of the highest respectabillty and veraclty.

Grant will proceed at ouoe, II he has not al
