GEN. BUTLER AND THE NEW ORLEANS
GoLD.-The statements that have been go
ing the rounds OF the cCpperhead press that
Maj. Gen. Butler had been obliged to deliver
over to Smith & Co. of New Orleans the sum
of $4,000 in gold, seized by him while in COM
mand OF the Department Of the Gulf togeth-
er with interest, poAndage, Sheriff's fees and
costs, are totally untrue. The facts are brief

Some three weeks since ex-Judge Pierpont,
counsel for the plaintiffs, wrote the General
that his clients were satisfied that he 1.-THE
General) had reasonable grounds for making
the seizure, was fully justified in his course,
and that if he would satisfy them that the
gold had not been sold or specialized with, but
had been religfously held intact and deliver it
to them, they would receipt therefor in full,
make no demand for interest or costs, and
pay his counsel fees. Gen. Butler replied that
as he was now a citizen, and had for three
years held this money subject to the order of
tne government, who had never made de-
cislon IN the matter, he should accept their

LITERATURE IN LETTER.; or, Manners, Art, Criti-
cism, Biography, History and Morals, Illustrated in
the Cores ondence of Eminent Persons. Edited
by James p. Holcombe, LID. New York: D.
Under this singular, and not in all respects feici-
tous title, is offered one of the most delightful
books which have issued from the press for long
time. 1t contains something like two hundred let
tiers from the pens OF a great number of different
writer's, all of whom were persons Of distinction in
some way. These letters selected from mass OF
literature 80 extensive and varied as to- have been
quite appalling to any collector less industrious and
enthusiastic than Mr.. Holcembe; and they are al
most without exception, interesting and valuable,
either in themselves illustrative of the cbarac
ter or style Of the WRITER'S They are arranged un-
der four heads Book First contains letters of sGos
sip, Society, and Manners by Madame de sevgna,
Lady Mary wortley Montague. Lord Chesterfield,
Horace Walpole, Byron, jeffrey, W. 81. Prescott and
others. Book Second comprises letters Of "Pleas-
antry, Sentiment and Fancy" by Pope, Swift,
Sterne, Franklin, Scott, Miss Berry, Lamb, Sidney
Smith, Lander and others. Book Third embraces
sketches OF Mature, Art and Travel" In letters
from Lady Morgan, Dickens, Daniel Webster, South
ey, Shelley, Bishop Heber, and a few more.i1 Book
Fourth takes in letters ON "Pubc History, some of
which are and curious, and bear such names as
Oliver Cromwell. Anna Boleyn, Lord Howe. George
Washington, and John Adams. Book Fifth is de-
voted to Literary, Biography, Anecdote, and Crit
cism," and Milton, Newton, Hume, Burke and Glib
bon are among the chief writer's. Book Sixth and
last includes letters Of "Moral and Devotional Re-
fection" selected from writer's widely different as
Humboldt and Oliver Cromwell, Thomas Jefferson
and F w. Robertson. I--i- 599
1t will at once be perceived that this volume DOS
sesses in large degree the merits Of comprehensive
ness and variety It is charming book for the COM
partnership Of solitary Journeys, brief unoccupied
hours. Every letteris gem complete and polished
in itself; and while you cannot open page with
out finding there food for reflection for mirth or for
fancy, yetit makes no continuous demand upon the
attention, butmay be taken and laid down at plea
sure. If we might be allowed to employ common
and often absurdly used phrase we should say the
book meets want and therefore can hardly fail to
be successful. u5-er3,
The external appearance Of the work Is pleasing.

Municipal Election In Bath

There was very little excitement in Bath
Monday. Mr.. John Hayden, as our Bath cor.
respondence has already stated, was nomina-
ted at meeting of citizens without distinc-
ton of party. The nomination was after
wards endorsed by the Republican caucus
while the Democratic ratification meeting"
Saturday night adjourned without making
any nominations. Under these circumstan-
ces, Mr.. HAYDEN walked over the course and
was elected by 627 votes, with scattering.
In Ward there was some rivalry for the
offices of aldermen and councilmen; the can
didates were all Republicans, however, and as
matter of course the city government ia en-
tirely and perhaps monotonously harmonious.

Zone More Fair"

A writer IN the argus, who adopts the sig
nature, TRUE CHARITY" has repeatedly
urged upon this community the duty Of max
ing some effort to relieve the wants of the
widows and orphans who have been left in
restitution by the fortune of war. To the
brave men, who in the hour of need came for
ward with their lives in their hands, the Re-
public owes debt which can never be dis
puted. For them and for all who were dear
to them, a grateful country has already made
provision, to a limited extent. This public
provision is no "charity;' it is the payment of
debt, and it is only a partial payment. Ev-
cry community owes to the disabled soldiers
and to their widows and orphans in its midst,
such aid as is needful to establish and secure
their domestic comfort.
There is no room for two opinions on this
subject If the writer who has reminded us
Of our duty, will come forward with some
practical suggestion and go to work, we can
assure him of hearty cooperation Several
of the managers of the late Freedmen's Fair
have expressed their Willingness to assist in
this other good work, and we doubt not al
who contributed in any. way to the charity
named will be equally ready to meet the new
requisItion upon their time and means. If
"1,rue Charity" does not choose to move him
sell, we hope somebody who is.txue inEinore
than an assumed signature, will take the mat
ter in hand. v--.Csssr - zr,r,,.
We cannot dismiss this subject without ad-
vertng to the 'i,scsdsous tone which pervades
"True Charity's" communications. He urges
this claim, as if the collection of moneys for
the education and physical relief Of the freed
men were downright fraud upon the de-
serving class of whose cause he is the self-cou-
stituted advocate. "Theys have passed. he
says, through an inclement winter unheeded
"and unthought of enduring penury and in
diligence in this cold northern latitude aoh;le
"charsty ,oas being ertended to- the sunny
South" Alas! this kind of True Charity
is of an old, old pattern. Readers will remem-
Der how Judas Iscariot proposed that the
costly ointment of spikenard should be sold
for three hundred pence and given to the
poor. a" Not" says the sacred writer simply,
mot that he cared for the poor, but because he

to bring odium upon the fair he has signally
failed. If he would retrieve his own character
be must now do something besides attempt
ing to depreciate the benevolence of his neigh
bors. And we can assure him that the sense
of justice which feels the claims of long OPP
pressed and miserable race at the South will
not be slow to recognize still higher claims at
home -l-.,,. .f

Work at the Navy Yard is little more active
than last month. The "Piscataqua" will be
ready for launching by the first of May. The
machinery for the iron-clad is now being put
in. The disastrous effects which are said to
be produced by salt water on this class of ves--
sells are not discernible in this one which has
been in the water some months. If by the
time she il finished none are perceived, it is
thought that several others which lie at
League Island will be transferred here, that
they may be ready for use at any time; the
extreme cold Of this winter has shown the
danger of their being frozen in. ' De-" tGi.
Shipbuilding at the private yards in this Vi
entity is rather dull. Two small fishing craft
are being built on the Kittery side, and one on

Work on Fort Constitution is suspended,
except the removing of the old fort to make
room for the foundation of the new, and the
digging of the moat. If Government requir-
ed the officers in charge to locate their Office
near the works, and to be themselves on the
work in working hours, great deal of money
and time would be saved. ~,

perceive with regret that there is something
out of joint here. The sentence as printed in
the argus, ends with the word "South." And
on looking back, we perceive that it viii be
necessary to substitute ''Soutb" for "blacks:''
"North" for Whites" and Estates" for "men, ;"
where we have itacised these words. Mr..
Bradbury's argument was after all, merely de-
signed to favor the readmission to Congress of
the Representatives of the white population
of the South. 1t is pity he did not choose
to make it broader in its application, for as he
properly says, "this a fundamental principle"
What he means by further representing this
principle as 5belligerent and "striking at the
veryroots ofthe Constitution" we must leave
to Mr.. Bradbury himself to explain. Dir
