The Pysident aud Ben Butler. Some
gentlemen, in conversation with tie Presi
dent few days ago, expressed their doubts
as to Buffers capacity rs an officer in the
field. "Well," said Mr.. Lincoln, ''if he
does not succeed it will not be my fault
I have set three Of my best Generals Ia
watch .him-Baldy Smith, Gilmore, aud
Weitzell. Now, il they can't keep him
from doing harm, am sure I ought not to
be held accountable for what he does"
This joke furnishes very apt illustra'
ton of, the fidelity and judgment with
which Mr.. Lincoln exercises the powers oi
his great Office. The setting of three Of
our best Generals to watch one Of our poor
est in the supreme conflict Of the war is o.
a piece with Mr.. Liacoln's general conduct
for the last two years and upwards. Hs
has been .sacrafcing his country to bis
party at this rate ever since he first turned
a side from the legitimate ends of the wal
to carry out his own ends.-LoaisriH'

THE TABLEAUx last evening were decl-
ded success. The house was well filled by
a very fashionable and appreciative andi-
euce and everything passed OFT happ'iy.-
Some, indeed, all Of the tatleaur were aa'
mirably put upon the stage and produced
fine effect, though, if called upon to state
which pleased us best, We would say tha'
the first one, 'In Memoriam," was the most
beautiful ardisuggestive. The exhibition
will be repeated tonight with an entire
change of progromme, and we would urge
all to attend who can do so conveniently
assuring them that, independent Of the
fact that their contributions will be given
to noble cause, they will get the full val
ne of therj money in the delight the per
tormance will afford.
