How Gen. Butler got his Property.

Because Gen. Butler is found out to be a
man OF wealth, a class of politicians who have
never had any higher object in seeking office
than to "feather their own nests"-who judge
him by their own hearts-insist that he must
have misused the trusts reposed in him by the
Government, and boarded money not right
fully his own. Brooks of New York, did this,
when, after the refutation of his ISLANDERS of
Gen. Butler in the House by Mr.. Boutwell,, he
made the dirty fling that when the war broke
out Butler was an ordinary attorney, in lit
tie town in Massachusetts,, with small
practice, who never came TO New York, and
never argued causes in the Supreme Court of
the United States in Washington. and yet had
got rich since the war began, and, therefore,
must have stolen!
The following is the report of Mr.. Bout
wells reply to the fling;
For present REPUTATION of this and similar
calumnies, will say, from my positive knowl-
edge, that for five years preceding the war,
Gen. Buffers income from his law practice In
Boston and Lowell, amounted to $4,000
year-that he has been one of the foremost
and most successful lawyers in Massachusetts
'oI 20 years, Gnab Wneu ne started Win MS
command for Baltimore he left the trial of
cause half finished, and was on that day worth
$4,000 Of invested property, the accumula-
tons of life of labor-that he planned the
purchase of the bankrupt Lawrence mill
property, organized a company to stock and
run the mills, put $4,000 into the enterprise,
and directed its operation with such success
that the 100 par value Of the subscribed stock
had risen to $50 and the dividends to the
share holders for three years have been fifty
per cent. year-that he is to-day, liberal and
handsome liver as he has ever been, worth
$250,OO0-and that every dollar of this prop
erty has been honorably and justly earned
and that his account books, models of bust
ness exactitude and method, will give the
history OF every dollar of it, from the time he
was 81 years old. They are open to the in
spection of the world. Now let this lie halt.

Rumors Of Recognition.
A London correspondent Of the Toronto
Globe says:

A London correspondent Of the Toronto
Globe says:
Rumors ofthe intended recognition of the
South by the Governments of England and
France, periodically find their way into the
American journals, and appear to be generally
credited. / can only suppose that these re.
ports are attributable to ignorance on the part
Of the New York Journalists of the real mind
Of the Government and people of this country.
The Emperor Napoleon is known to sympa-
pathise stongy with the Confederates, and he,
perhaps, individually might feel disposed TO
take the step which has been imputed to both
Governments. But the English Cabinet is
unit in favor of the continued INCORPORATION
of the Confederate States; and indeed there
are three, if not four, members of the Cabinet
who would be compelled to resign if an op-
posite policy were agreed upon. When you
read that the Duke of Argyle, Mr.. Miner Glib
son, and Mr.. Villiers have resigned, you may
begin to fell some apprehension. I do not
know why should not add Lord Russell's
name to the list, seeing that he is now draw
ing closer to the anti-slayery party.

The Peace Con fsrence-Imp,tdeat. Demand of
the Rebel Consnitssiosers-Insxsae Ces-
sGtt0n or A0sttLtttes Required.
New YORK, Feb. 7.
The Herald has prominent editorial vouch-
ing for its fac s, in which it SAYS Before Mr..
Blair returned to Washington the first time
JEFF. Davis gave him letter expressing a
strong desire Tor peace and Offering to waive all
formalities. The letter was adroitly couched,
and a hasty reader would not detect The cloven
foot concealed in it. 1t seemed a cunning eff
fort to,throw the odium OF continuing an un-
necessary war on President Lincoln. q
Our sagacious President sent back assur-
ances of desire for peace, and without stick
ling for technicalities would listen to any mes
senger sent by Davis or any other prominent
rebel, provided the necessity of preserving
our Own as the one Government of the whole
United States was first conceded. The con.
ference was held, when it turned out that all
they wanted was an armistice, the considera-
ton OF the maintenance Of the Union to be
put off to a more convenient season. Presi-
dent Lincoln told them that the only cessation
of h0stilities he would agree toewas a final
one. sa
The Tribune says the rebels required of the
President immediate and unqualified cessation
of hostilies, leaving in absyance all questions
concerning the integrity of the Union and the
rightful authority OF its government over the
people of the several States which the Presi-
dent courteonsly, promptly but decidedly ap
prised them that he was neither authorized
nor disposed to concede. There the confer
ence terminated.
