Gen. Butler and Gen. Grant.

A Washington correspondent of the Bos-
ton Traueller, wrote on the l4th of the ex-
pected arrival of Gen. Butler, to testify be
fore the commission to inquire intt ne fail
ure to attack Fort Fisher. He sayAar.
The committee is ready to receive the General,
and majority are friendly to him, so that he
will have justice done him IN the examination
and report of the committee. A friend of Gen.
Butler has Just arrived from City Point, and he
states that his chief is ready for war upon Gen.
Grant, but has not a word of condemnation for
the President. This shows that he is shrewd.-
Any attempt to attack the President for this act
which belongs TO Grant, will utterly fail. The
judicious friends of Gen. Butler and Gen. Grant
are endeavOring to secure quiet. A quarrel
at this time upon the subject would result in no
good.
Gen. Butler is man of great ability in
certain ways, and has done good service in
the Union cause. We have never rated his
military ability as high as many have. We
think he has too much sense, however. to
enter the lists against Grant. If he really
thinks seriously of undertaking such an en-
terprise, we advise him, before he begins, to
read carefully the first eight verses Of the
forty-irst chapter of job

THE CITY CHARTER.

1t is worthy of note, that, so far as We
have seen, no objection has been urged TO
the powers granted to the City Council.
Yet in that section lies the very gist of the
whole act. Nearly all the rest of it con-
Germs the mode by which the City shall come
into and remain in a condition by which it
can exercise those powers in a discreet, re-
Sponuble and prudent manner. Ghe provis-
ions for the organization of South Burling-
ton, and the adjustment, promptly and
equitably, of all property questions which
Of necessity must arise between the two
municipalities on the separation, is but
necessary incident. Now, we take it, that
the omission to assaIl the powers given to
the City Council, Is tscit admission, even
in the view of the directors, that there is
need here of the exercise of such powers for
the order, health, safety and propriety of the
communicates such need as has been felt
in so many scores Of places in the Union of
no greater population than ours-(many in
deed of not half so great one) and which
has caused them to IS from an ordinary
town to city organization. Sometimes an
intermediate stage-that of a village or
borough corpOration-is occupied when the
population of neighborhood is quite small,
but the end, as the population increases, Is
always the city organization.
Many years ago, the subject of change
of organization was brought before the peO-
ple-more than once, We believe-and re-
ferred by town meetings to large COM
mittees, who reported that though a change
must come in process Of time, it was not
best to think Of forming village corpora
ton (; but to make the change, when the
time should come, at once to City. That
time, we believe, majority Of our voters
arc satisfied has fully come norc. and have
shown it by their votes Wednesday

The Capture of Fort Fisher.

The JOY of the country at the splendid
achievement Of General Terry and Rear Ad-
miral Porter, IN the capture Of Fort Fisher,
is but enhanced by the general modification
and disgust at the previous failure. The
brllliancy and value of this success is the
thing first thought OF, and next its effect on
the position Of Gen. Butler before the pub
lie as a military man. 1t was moi altogether
satisfactory before, in several respects. And
on the point whether a land assault on the
fort should not have been tried, while criti-
cism was to great degree silenced by the
acknowledged value of Gen. Weitzel's opinion,
still there has been a feeling of dis
satisfaction, and a general regret that the eff
fort should not have been made. The fort
was very strong, no doubt So was Fort
McAllister but it was taken in short order
BY Sherman's men. So was Fort Harrison
immensely strong, but it was stOrmed and
taken by General STANDARDS division, and
without any navy TO silence one OF the nj
teen heavy guns which were raking his
column with grape and canister. What man
has done, man may do. The loss, all knew.
would be heavy but the loss of life by sim
pie delay and slow progress in putting down
the rebellion, Is also heavy. Risks must be
taken in war, and the country would have
been better satisfied with Generals Butler
and Weitzel had they made a resolute effort
on the fort. IL turns out. now, that it
could be taken More that that, it has been
taken, and by the same troops which wore
detailed for the duty before. We thus hold
at last the main rebel port of entry, filed,
as it always is, with British steamers inside,
and of incalcuable value to the rebels All
honor to the brave men who have given us so
superb victory.

An INTERVIEW WITH SHERNAN.-The Bos-

from private letter received from an officer
who met Gen. Sherman soon after his arrival
at Savannah and the conclusion of his 'agree-
able march:
We are Just now full Of Sherman, whose adj
vent in this quarter has stirred us up as well as
the rebels. | hsd the exceeding qualification Of
passing several hours with him on board the
flag ship. Before he said word about his cam
paign, he talked Of -, and spoke of him in
the same kind way that all his army friends
whom have met have done, and in high praise
of him as a soldier. Then he went on about his
march, though more in reply to questions than
otherwise, and modestly enough. You can fan
cy the interest of all this
He has q keen eye and most expressive face,
and no nonsense about him. He deals with these
villanous rebels in the right vein, and takes
down their high tone most eifectually, as we have
seen by his letters, and an incident which he
related shows that he don't let slip an opportu-
nifty for stripping them of their false pre-
tensions The storming party at Fort Nc
Allister lost some lives by the torpedoes
planted in the ditch, and some hours after
the surrender, a soldier stepping on one
was fatally wounded The garrison of the fort

lives Sherman turned on him with THAT
