The Removal of Gen. Butler.

Inc public were quito taken by surprise at
the announcement of the removal vr q, ~.
Ter, who was last week ordered to proceed to
Lowell, Mass, and report to the War Depart
ment. 1t is generally understood that the fail
ure at Wilmington is the occasion of this
removal, though limitations are quito freely
thrown out that there he's been purpose on
the part OF the authorities at Washington for
some time to remove him at the first convenient
opportunity. Gen. Batter s military reput ation
has never been of a high order, but his method
Of dealing with rebels and rebel sympathizers
who were within his lines, has been exceedingly
satisfactory 10 the great majority of the loyal
people of the country. lilo undoubtedly much
hotter as an executive and administrative officer
than as q military chleitain, and if be could be
put n some place where his energy, his hatred
OF treason, and his relentless exposure of the
hypocrises aud subtGfuges of pretended Union
men who are at heart secessionists, could be
made available to the Government, we think the
people would be quite satisfied with his removal
from the command Of an army.
We print elsewhere his farewell address to his
command. lie has also made a lengthy report
OF the part his command took in the attack on
fort Fisher in which he appears to be fully
justified in declining to assault the fort, hay
ing done so on Gen. Weitzol's opinion as well as
his own. His removal is reported to be at the
desire OF Gen. Grant.

Ma. EorroR Our streets arc almo,t dailv
disgraced by some soldier or citizen in state
OF beastly intoIlcation. 0aths the most horrid.
and vnlgarity extremely disgusting salute our
ears almost daily and all IN consequence Of rum.
Is there no remedy Must we submit in silence ?
So far as our citizens arc concerned, will no.
complain, but for our bravo sodior, desire
that something DO done, and tina, Immediately
10 see these poor men, who have so bravely
fought for our country, staggering about our
streets, and roughly thrust into jail, and the
wretch who has taken their money for pint

simply ridiculous. II is worse, it is abomnable

Mutilated Government Currency.

Ma. EDITOR II wish to inquire OF you, or
some one else who can tell the reason mat
" Uncle Sam - is SO particular about redeeming
or taking his worn and torn Scrip ana
d" Greenb4cks." For instance, | stepped into
our Bank day or tive ago, to loan our said
respected Uncle sum Of money, for which !
was TO take one of his Bonds, and rendered
among other money, GreeubAck which bad
BY much usage, b,com soilod aud sorno torn
and own to small degree Of establishment on
being told that this bill could not be taken
Not take their own bills for their own bonds
/ Your renders, presume, have most OF them
experienced more or less trouble in passing scrip
which has become little fractured or torn. 1t
seems to me certainly, that our highly esteemed
Uncle Sam is putting his patient nephews and
neces to SONS needless inconvenience when they
are doing all in their power to furnish him with
men and ,ans, to enable him to keep the glo.
rious " Banner Of th3 3.ari from trailing in
the dust, beneath the feet of conspirators and
traitors There may DO the b,sI Of reasons for
this state of things. but for one, " can't see
it, D. F. A.
Mortified, January ., 1865.
The striotness OF the Treasury Department in
this refusal to redeem mutilated currency, seems
unnecessary. Banks redeem their torn and de-
faced bills while there is enough Of them left
for Identification, anu l, isn-I cauy W .vu why
tho government, should b. more particular than
state banks, The reason, however, for the reg
ulation We understand to be, that frauds arc
sometimes perpetrated BY manufacturing bills
out Of fragments or piece, de1terously taken
from other bills, and that the only perfect pro
lection against this is to refuse any paper cur
rency that is not entire,

the release Of their husbands, held as prison.
ers Of war at Johosons Island They we're
put of until Friday, when they came again,
aud were again put of until Saturday. At

that her husband Was a religious man, and on
Saturday Nhen the President ordered the
release Of the prisoners, be said to this lady
\ gu say your husband is religious man
tell him when you meet him that / say / am
not much OF Judge OF religion, but that, in
ny oplnnn, the religion that sets men to rebel
and fight against their government because as
they think, that government does not SUIT
hciently help some men to eat their bread in
the sweat Of other mems faces, is not the sort
OF religion upon which people can get to
heaven
The President is evidently practical man,
and as such we like bis theology.
