Butler and Burnside Vtndicated Banks
and Meade not sustained.

A Washington correspondent who has seen
the forthcoming report Of the Committee on
the conduct Of the War say that the testime-
ny in relation to the Red River campaign is
of a character most damaging to any military
preteosion of Gen. Banks. 1t demonstrates
him to have been guilty of q mercenary motive,
either io- the benefit of himself or his friends,
by cotton speculations. Gen. Buttler in the
Fort Fisher affair, is substantially vindicated.-
Gen. Burnside is exouerated in the Petersburg
mine failure, which is attributed to lack Of
confidence on the part of Gen. Meade. Tha
failure to capture Lees army after the battle
ofGettysburg, by General Meade is attributed
to the same weakness.
