The New Ysrk papers say that Provost
Marshall General Fry has issued an order
suspeading operations under the present
superintendent for draft. They further
more claim that tho order requires 300,.
600 uep over and above all credits.
The statement that no credits will be
siloxed for enlistments Previous to the
: 59th Of Dscen nabsr seems tee unreasonable
and unjust to be true Fer instance, thi.
tsxnship IS entitled to credit for thirty
fss, over AID above all calls, and they
ssrs all enlisted previous to that date
The tswnship has sent the men to the
fsld and has paid them large local
bounty. New can it be that when our
msn are gene and eur noHey is gone,
We are 10 get no credit for them but be
put upon tie same festing and drafted
with tsrnships which sent not man
mere than they we're compelled to send2
eThis wsula be very unwiss and grisyously
snjust Zh1
The 800 900, says the order, amust be
sctually sent to the field" but this can
be dons without such gro.s injustice by
adding the aggregate credits to 30O,o0s
-snd apportioning the total. Then the
ersdlts may be deducted in the several
localities whore they belong, and 800, ,oOO
ttill BE- sent 10 the feld. Il is probable
that this is the Interpretation of the sr-
der and that the New York papers ar.

A dispatch in this mornings paper con-
veys the gratifying intelligence that Majsr
General Benjamin. Franklin Butler. ir-
reverently termed ''ths Beast" has beeu
removed from command and ordered to
report at Lowell, Massachusetts,. We
pity the people of Lowell, but there
seems to be no other place fer Butler just
now, except Wilmington, North Care
lima, and he can't get there just at present
However, at Lowell, the General will
have an opportunity of bullying the fac
tory girls and terrifying the small beys
to his hearts content; er, failing in this
he can anuse himself by digging imagin-
ary "Dutch Gap Canals" in the back
yard of his residence Donble locks and
burglar proof safes would sell we'll in that
town just new, for certainly the iRhabi-
tants will net think of suffering silver
spoons or other valuables to remain "lyine
around leoss."
Major General Ord, who temporarily
succeeds Butler in command Of the De
partment of Virginia and North Carolinit
is gentleman and a soldier. He is wei
known in this city, having spent th'
greater portion of last summer here or il
Beilair, where. we believe, his famil,
still resides. Wkeelis9 Register.

Gen. Butler Renewed Ord
Succeeds him--Blair in Richmond
Rebels Evacuating Richmsnd.


New York, Jan. 10.-The Hsrald's
City Point correspondent of the 9Th says:
Major General Butler has been removed
by the President frem the position of
ce "a mander of the Army of the James
and the Department of Virginia and North
Carolina, and ordered to report at Lowell,
Massachusetts,. The official documentin
the case directed him to turn ever his
command to the person named by Lieut..
General Grant as his temporary successor.
Gen. Ord, lately in charge Of the corps,
has succeeded temporarily to the impsrt-
ant position. -s.a-s
The Tribune says Blair senior is in
Rlchnond, and goes specially to see what
caR be done in the way Of peace. The
Tribune don't think he will succeed, aud
urges filing UP our army and making
short werk of the rebellion. Blair is not
clethed with any power from eur Govern
ment, but we infer he is authorized to
ascertain whether any true peace is new
attainable. -ssASge
The Heralds Winchester corrsspen-
dent details conversions with a man
recently from Richmond, who says the
rebels are busy preparing for evacuation.
Much Government property and many
officials have been sent off to the interior.
JEFF has become convinced that he cannot
hold the city much longer, aud it is be-
ing mined.

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS OF TIL
FLIGHT OF DAVIS.

A letter In the New York Herald, from It's cor
respondent at Chester, S. O., dated 18th instant
gives the following additional particulars OF the
flight of Mr.. Jefferson Davis
Inst before Davis reached Greensboro b. was
almost surrounded by . detachment OF stone
mans cavalry, who might easily have caught
him had they known who ne was. AiteI EAIns
DanyiIle Davis intended going Immediately ana
directly far South. On arriving At johnson
beadouarters and learning Of the terms OF the
Convention between Sherman and Johr ston, and
Soninr that he would be allowed TO leave the
country, be altered his mind, and renamed az
Charlotte. II was frequently remarked that II
was dangerous for him to 90 soi but he lnVsri,
SbIv replied that he had too many friends, and
knew the country too well 70 be caught by any
of the forces in the Yankee army.
IsF Davis remained at Charlotte until twelve

Al eleven o'clock on that day his horse, = hand.
