General Butler.

The Springfield Republican says that General
Butler has decided not to reply to General Grant,
but to write more comprehensive work, even
the complete history of his own military career.
II, in writing "the complete history of bis own
military career" the hero of the Dutch Gap
Canal should leave out of it an account of that
successful enterprise, the storming of Fort Fish
er, by blowing up part of his own feet instead
Of the fort, and his cotton speculations, together
with an explanation of the manner in which he
protected the property of the citizens and banks
Of New Orleans, and the courteous and polite
attentions paid to the female portion of that
community, while military commander OF that
post, and history of the late New York trials
in regard to the question of bank deposits--we
say, if he excludes all these things from his
forthcoming history, it will surely require
mighty little book to contain the balance of "the
complete history of his own military career"

The CRops.-We never recollect of seeing the
wheat in the county look better at this time of
the year than now, and should nothing happen
to it between this and harvest, the yield will
certainly be a full>one. The grass also promises
well. OF other crops it is much too early to
speak, as with the exception of oats, potatoes
and grass seed, little or nothing has yet been
planted. The farmers are, however, very busy
preparing their ground for spring crops, and
from appearances, there will be IS much planting
done this spring as usual, if the scarcity of labor
does not deter many of our people who are en-
gagged in agriculture.

The VETO PowER.-This power, during our
national existence has been used twenty-eight
times, twice by Washington, six times by Madi-
son, once by Monroe, nine times by Jackson,
four times by Tyler, three times by Polk, once
by Buchanan, and twice by Johnson. Neither
Mr.. Jefferson, the two Adamses, Van Buren,,
Harrison, Taylor, Fillmore or franklin Pierce
exercised the veto power during their terms of
office. Harrison had no opportunity to make
use of it; he lived but about one month after
his Inauguration, and during that time Congress
was not in session; and almost the same may be
said of General Taylor, who also survived his
Inauguration but short time.

Hon. DANIEL s. DICKINSON. -This distinguished
and widely known politician died in the city Of
New York last week. Mr.. Dickinson was in his
sixty-sixth year, and had filed many important
positions, having been member of the New
York Senate, Lieutenant Governor and Attor-
ney General of the State, besides representing
her in the United States Senate, from 1914 to
1851. As an orator and statesman he ranked
high, and was for many years a consistent and
straightforward politician but in 1861 he went
over to the Abolitionists, and so remained, we
believe, up to the time of his death.
