MAJOR GENERAL BUTLER REMOVED.
He is Ordered to Report at Lewell-The
Supposed Causes of his Removal.


From the New York HERALD
CITY POINT, Jan. 8, 1965-The news OF the
Presidents Order No. 1, series Of 1885, reno wing
Major General Benjamin F. Butler from the
command Of the Department Of Virginia and
North Carolina, is causing much comment,
but, so far as / can learn, little or no animad-
version. Whether rightfully or not, General
Butler has for months past been losing the con.
fidence Of the officers OF the army, until very
few will regret his departure outside OF those
who swarm around and attach them selves to
those in power. 1t has been General Buffers
misfortune to appoint too many of these selfish
and irresponsible persons to off cIal positions
of trust and responsibility. Their indiscretions
have often cost him dearly, and are supposed
to be in no small degree instrumental in causing
his present removal
=, the ostensible grounds for depriving him Of
MS command are undoubtedly his recent fas.
cos at Wilmington and Dutch Gap. But
mountain Of dissatisfaction has been accumu.
1ating against him for months, on account Of
alleged illegal and arbitrary arrests, impris-
onments, and punishments. 1t is said that
many cases Of glazing injustice have come to
light, and many others are expected to be de.
veloped by his supersedure.
Major General Butler is ordered to turn over
his command, all moneys and Government
property, and the civil fund in his possession,
to the person named by Lieut.. Gen. Grant as
his temporary successor, and to proceed to
lowell, Massachusetts, and to report to the
War Department by letter.
Major General Edward Ohio Cressup Ord,
commanding the Twenty fourth Army Corps,
has been named the temporary successor of
Gen. Butler, and will at once take charge OF
the department.
