Gen. Buffers Removal.

The removal of Gen. Butler, seems to
be stirring up considerable excitement.
Wewere never among the Generals great
admirers, but are free, nevertheless to
admit that they were very numerous, con-
sidering the political school from which
he came, the hearty manner in which he
addressed himself to the various RESPONSE
bic duties that devolved upon him, at
tracted more notice than they otherwise
would have done. While many doubt
ed his eminent fitness for leader Of active
military operations, all loyal men admired
his rare executive qualities. 1t is well
known that his removal was in accor-
dance with Gen. Grants desires; and the
country will be slow tie question the puri
ty of his motives. For certainly no com
manding officer, since the commencement
of the war, has manifested so liberal g
disposition towards his lieutcnants as has
G at Gen. Butler will all probability
retire to civil life, and we will not be much
surprised to see him turn up the next
GOV. Of Massachusetts.

From Mexico.
New YORK, Jan.

NEW 1oRK, Jan. III.
Late advices from Mexico state that
Macmillan has issued manifesto direct
ing the revising by his ministry, of the
titles and claims under which ecclesias-
tical property has been orsome time held,
and in effect declaring that it belongs to
the tate, and that it is the province of
the Government to exercise superior con-
troll over it. 1t appears he opened nogo-
tiations with the Pope while in Rome, on
the subject, but to his great surprise finds
the nunca, just arrived in Mexico, with
out instructions in the matter. He there
fore boldly adopts his own policy, and it
is said it was read with enthusiasm.
Five thousand of the Belgian legation
had reached Mexico, and more were
coming.
Nothing later from San Domingo.

cavalry men when about twenty-five miles
from Washington, making his way to that
city for the purpose, as he avowed, Of
seeing how we could effect cessation OF
hostilities. lie was remanded back to
Richmond. This is the same Foote who
about four weeks ago, made such mar,
velous speech in tho Rebel Congress, in
VIII ;ch he portrayed their waning power
and Their speedy overthrow, His lady
who accompanied him made good her es,

In forwarding to the Department the

CITY POINT, Jan. 7th, 1865.
Respectfully forwarded. To avoid
publicity of the time of sailing, and des-
tination of the expedition against Fort
Fisher. my orders to Gen. Butler to PIE
pare it were given verbally, and the in
structions to the commanding officers of
the expedition were made by him and
ubmitteI to me. | apprehend ty there
port copy of Gen. Buffers instruc-
tions to en-. Weitzel, together with cor
les of my dispatches, and instructions to
Butler relative to the expedition. 1t will
be seen that it was never contemplated
that Gen. Butler would accompany the
expedition, but that Maj Gen. Weitzel
was especially named as the commander
Of it. My hopes Of success rested entire
ly on our ability to capture Fort Fisher,
and l had even a hope Of getting Will
minton before the enemy could get troops
there to oppose us. l knew that the
enemy had taken nearly the entire garri-
son Of Wilmington and its dependencies
to oppose Sherman | am inclined to
ascribe the delay which has cost us so
dearly to an experiment. | refer to the
explosion of gunpowder in the open air.
My dispatches to Gen. Butler will show
his report to be in error where he states
that he returned, after having effected a
landing, in obedience to my instructions.
On the contrary, these instructions con-
templated no withdrawal, ora failure, af-
ter landing was made.

Repeal of the Reciprocity Treaty,
WASHINGTON, Jan

ian. concerning the naval force on the
lakes which was ordered to be printed
Mr. Wilson presented the petition Of
Mrs. Jane Swisshelm, asking for an in
crease of pay for female clerks, which
was referred to the Finance Commit
tee.
Mr.. Trunbull, from the Judiciary Com
'mittee, to whom was referred resolution
instructing that Committee to inquire if
further legillation was necessary to au-
1horze the President to call an extra ses-
sion of Congress without giving sixty
days notice, reported and asked to be
discharged.
Mr.. Trumbull said they could find no
law requiring the President to give skip
days notice No notice whatever was re-
quired by law.
Mr.Powell, from the Judiciary Com
mitteee, reported back the petition Of
certain railroad companies, asking permis-
sion to build a railroad bridge across the
Ohio River at Louisville. He asked
that the petition he referred to the Com
mittee on Post-ohices nd Post Roads, and
it was so ordered.
Mr.. Doolittle called up resolution in
relation to the sale OF Indian lands, lmi-
ting the price Of the came, which was
passed.
On molten OF Mr. sumner the Senate
proceeded to the consideration Of the res
olution to repeal the reciprocary treaty
Mr.. Howe took tue floor IN opposition
to the repeal OF the treaty at $50 p. m,
Mr. Grimes interrupted -Hr. Howe. by
asking that the Senate take recess Of
ten minutes, to allow ITS members to pay
their respects to Wee Admiral iarragut,
who was upon the ioor. The recess was
taken.
On reassombIing Mr. Wilson ohorercd
the following which was adopted;
Resoteed, hat the Committee on the
conducts OF the War be directed to IN
quire into the causes OF the failure of the
late expedition to W IlmIngton, n. C., to
report back to the Senate.
Dir. Howe resumed the floor on the re-
clprocity treaty.
MIR. Morrill, succeeded Howe, and adj
yocated the repeal OF the teraty
Mr.. Chandler favored the repeal OF the
treaty. The Board OF Trade OF Detroit
did not represent the people Of Michigan
when they opposed its repeal. They rep
resented only the interests OF Merchants,
but the farmers OF Michigl were not in
favor OF the treaty. The people Of Cana
da had been in sympathy with the rebel
lion ever since 1t commenced, and this
was another reason why the action recon-
mended by the committee gu Foreign Re
-lations should he taken.
Mr. Foote could not see any occasion
for prolonging debate on question, ON
which there could hardly be divided
opinion in Congress or in the country.
While the treaiy had proved highly ben,
eical to the interests Of the people in
Njanado, it had proved projudical to the
interests of the people Of the United
States. 1t was reciprocal only in name
Mr.. Hale argued against the repeal Of
the Treaty, stating that its advantages
had been reciprocal. Mr. Hale, after
some further remarks against the repeal
Of the Treaty, moved to refor the subjcct
