General Butler and Fort Fisher.

"MACK," the Washington correspondent
of The Cincinnati Commercial, writes:
When the news of the capture of Fort
Fisher arrived here yesterday morning,
General Butler was at Wizards Hotel. He
heard some artillery firing, which was go
ing on at one of the camps in the city, and
thinking, perhaps, that the rebels, taking
advantage of his absence from the front,
had made raid upon Washington, he in
quired what was the matter. Ayouth, who
was standing by, said they were firing a
salute for the fall Of Fort Fisher. "Fall of
h-l," said Butler, soto uoce, and turning to
one of his aids near by, he told him to go
out and buy paper, and find out what it
was all about. The aid soon returned, and
said Fort Fisher was actually taken. Ben
jamin went to his room, and hasn't been
seen since. 1t is said that, while reading
the official dispatches announcing the cap
ture, his squint eye became perfectly
straight, so that he, too, has protted by the
great success which he couldn't quite bring
about.

RHEUMATISM.

NO DISEASE is so CERTAIN OF URE
by BRANDRETH'S PILLS as this. They soon
take out Of the blood the particular Virus upon
which all the pain depends. and the patient is
cured.
Mr.. T. NJ. Adams, BOG Twelfth street, New York
suffered with Rheumatism for long period. He
was attended by able physicians. but their rescrip
tions were Of no avail; he was unable TO move with
out assistance, and for four months was almost en-
tirely confined to his bed. AT this period Of his
sickness. when hope had fed. and he expected to-
cripple for the remainder of his life, he was REQ
commended TO use
BRANDRETHS PILLS.
The first box evidently made him better; the i'm.
provement was more decided from the seco I'd box
and by the time he had used eighteen boxes he was
entirely cured Of Rheumatism, and the ,trengtt
and suppleness Of his limbs were restored. II Il

RutIer i'm a Preilicament.

The Washington correspondent of The
New York Necs, under date of the 18th,
writes:
Gen. Butler was to-day before the COM
mittee on the Conduct OF the War, and
while engaged in demonstrating the impos-
sibility OF capturing Fort Fisher by assault,
the dispatches announcing its fall were re-
ceiyed. 1t is said that in addition to the
testimony elected concerning the cause of
his fiasco on Federal Point, he made some
important disclosures concerning the
causes of several failures before Petersburg.
There is in this city clique composed OF
ultra Abolition fanatics, who are determin-
ed to keep Butler ailoat SO long as that is
possible, but the weight of his blunders
will sink him despite their efforts.

THE Washington correspondent Of The
State Journal under date the 2lst inst,
writes:
Infallible signs presage the near approach
of the end of the war. Earlier than many
are aware, will the settlement of our troub-
les be reached, and, singularly enough,
reached without the perplexity which many
feared would attend the restoration of the
Union, as growing out of the questions
which are involved. ~ hti

A WASHINGTON special to The New York
Ecening Post, under date of the 18th inst,

War laid back and enjoyed the debate with

The Democrats did perfectly right.

WE note that several of our cotemporar-
