Butler and Pierre soule.

While BUTLER was in New Orleans,
he ordered the arrest of PIERRE
SouLB, former friend, one of the most
uncompromising Union men in the State.
This was cited by BuTIBR's toadies at the
North as proof of the noble sacrifice of
personal feeling on the part of BUTLER to
national interest. A correspondent of the
Providence Post is, however, ungraoious
enough to relate an anecdote concerning
the relation between the two men which
dispelled this theory. This correspondent
remarks that at the Charleston Conven-
ton of 1860, BEN F. BUTLER and PIERRE
SouIE, appeared as delegates to the con-
vention. BUTLER was elected as firm
friend of DOUGLASS
He proved treacheroas to him Douglas and
tried to break up the convention by opposing
Douglas and supporting Breckinridge. He was
co-worker with Yancey. He went back to
Massachusetts to stump his State for Breckin-
ridge. Soule was one of the delegates from
New Orleans He made o brilliant Union
speech, and in favor Of Douglas. He exposed
the rottenness of the Breckenridge party and
the disunion tendencies of its supporters. He
was very severe on Butler, and was hated for
1t by Butler; Soule and Butler went home.
Then came secession. Soule resisted it to the
last Butler next entered the city as q con-
Queror. BY and by, Soule is arrested and ban
ished into exile. Butler did not FORGET his
hatred. p

Amended Enrolment Bill.

A dispatch from Washington says Gen.
SoHENoK has reported, from the Military
Committee, the following amendments to
the enrolment bill The 1st section makes
it the. duty of every man to have himself
enrolled at once, and of every boy on arriv-
ing at the age Of twenty to do the same !;
no one is to be freed from enrolment on
account of physical disability; his name
must go on the rolls any way, and the
question of disability is one which must
afterwards be left to the Surgeons. An
other most important change made, is to
hol dany drafted person who may put in a
substitute responsible for the service ofhis
substitute. If the substitute fails then the
person originally drafted is called upon
again, either to furnish another substitute or
to enter the service himself mac. -, /

We make the following extracts from
private letter dated at Vicksburg, Dec. -:
Gen. Dana. whoi In command of this de-
partment says there shall besno cotton plant
lag done this year. and I think he win prevent
it. There Is nothing so profitable as cotton
raising If the government would. either assist
or remain neutral; but so far the military from
Gen. Dana down to the meanest negro in the
ranks, have thrown every possible discourage.
ment in the way, and there is not much chance
of raising crop.
The river is very high and still rising, and
many anticipate an overfow-but think the

be safe Gen. Stevens, of Glencoe. is Treasury

SR-l wrote you yesterday. We have all
the Forts The army have captured 1900 men
and large number Of officers, including Gen.
Whiting and Col Lamb. The gunboats are
now In the river and Wilmington Is sealed
against blockade runners.
The rebels have destroyed the works on
Smiths Island. and if they do not destroy Fort
Coswell It is of no use to them. -
You must not expect too much at one time
These works are tremendous. I was In Fort
Malakof few days after its surrender to the
French and English. The combined armies of
these two nations were many mouths captur-
ing that stronghold, and it wont compare eli.
ther In size Or strength to Fort Fisher.
The fort contained seventy-fve guns, and
many OF them were heavy ones. 1 have not
yet learned what our casualties are in killed
and wounded, but I think 300 will cover them
all. We had bad explosion in the fort this
morning, which killed and wounded a number
Of men-about 100.
Some Of our seamen were blown up, and
Acting Assistant Paymaster r. H. |illett, of
the Gettysburg, was killed. H.,
I will send q detailed report as soon as / can
get of the wounded and arrange n alters gen.
orally. The world never saw such lighting as
our soldiers did.
