" General ButIsI'S operAtIonE AguInE
RIchmOnd.D

On Tuesday last we printed letter from
usually well.informed correspondent with Gen.
Buffers army, In which occurred the following
passage:
"In this state of things Gilmore urged
strongly upon Gen. Butler the importance of
entrenchihg our positions, so rs to make them
secure against sorties or any movements Of
the enemy to oust us from them. The matter
was pre- sed very earnestly upon Gen. Butler,
through Col. Serrell, whom Gilmore had
charged with that mission.
Gen. Buffers answer, repeated several times,
was, that the movement was altogether an of.
fensive one, and that he would not pause for
any defensive preparations. In brief, he posi-.
lively refused to let the work of entrenching
our position be undertaken, though such work
would not necessarily have involved any loss
Of time-only It would have kept a portion of
the troops at work, who would otherwise have
a chance to rest
Gen. Butler addressed letter on this matter
to Gen. Gilmore, asking. "Did you or do you
authorize the statement that Gilmore advised
Butler TO make his (my) position secure by en-
trenchments against sorties or any movements
OF the enemy TO oIst us from them when be-
fore Fort Darling, and that answered that
would not pause for defensive preparation 4"
To which the reply of Gen. Gilmore, a COPY of
which lies before us, Is; {" never advised you
as stated. sent staff officer to you In regard
to certain changes In the line, but there was not
time to make those changes, even If they had
been ordered"
We have now to say for ourselves, that the
correspondent whose letter we printed has
always hitherto made trustworthy reports; that
he wrote, as he specially assures us, from full
and trustworthy information; and that under
the circumstances we felt bound, In further
ance OF the public interests, to print his letter.
The campaign in Virginia is too important for
the country TO take any risks through the re-
tention Of commanders whose capacity Is even
doubtful; and while We have always admired
Gen. Buffers ability, no personal friendship
could weigh a moment with us against the
country's interests.
SO much In justification of ourselves. Gen.
Gilmore says now he did not advise Gen. But
Ter according TO our correspondents report.
Our correspondent, therefore, was in error.
We shall endeavor to ascertain how he was led
into such mistake. Meantime. Gen. Butler
Is, of course, exonerated by Gen. Glllmore's
letter from blame in that particularly 7.

"THK RIGHT OF ASYLUM -

An Opposition journal talks largely OF the
surrender OF Col. Arguelles as an "iniquity,"
a "shame," and as violating "the rights Of
asylum, the Sovereignty OF the United States,
the letter OF the law, and the principles OF
Justice" We suspect that "the letter OF the
law" nowhere authorizes such surrenders as
that Of Arguelles.-N, Y. Tribune.
Precisely; nor Is there sny ldV TO preveTt such
surrender. Does the Opposition Journal, "
alluded to by the Tribune, assume that nation
has not the power to perform good act unless
there is law authorizing Its performance 1t
is sufficient for the Government of great ma
tion like this to decline 10 do noble deed
when there exists law positively prohibit
ing It.
In the case Of Argueles, he was entrusted by
the Governor General Of Cuba with q highly
important and humane work, in the execution
of which he declared that about one hundred
and forty human beings were dead, when, in
fact, he had sold them into slavery, put TIE money
IN his pocket and escaped TO the United States,
making Ntw York city an asylum for his pl-
lGiny.
Now, some black hearted friend OF tn slave
trade argues that this scoundIel Arguelles
should have the "rlght of asylum" In New
York. Do New Workers claim this honor for
the great commercial emporium
The Governor General Of Cuba, inspired by
tho same great principles which, under God,
have directed the Government of the United
States In It's late war policy, asked that Ar
guelles might be returned to him for trial and
punishment for the offence he had committed.
Our Governments found There was no law
authorizing an order for his return. They also
discovered that there was no law preventing the
Government from permitting him to be taken
to Cuba, where, under the laws OF his own
country, he would have justice meted out to
him. He has returned.
The Governor General OF Cuba thanks our
Government for allowing it be so. Eighty-slx OF
the blacks that Arguelles had doomed to sls-
very obtained their liberty In a few minutes
after he landed.
Tho return Of Arguelles to Cuba was an act
OF justice and humanity, and we are surprised
to fud men, who ought to know better, grum.
bling because no law existed to prevent 1t.
