BOTTLED BEN-The National IN
telligencer calls upon General Butler
to explain chow he managed TO e. t
himself and army into that interest
ing position Of which General Grant
speaks in his famous report, when he
says General Butler was corked up
tight, us if in a bottle
He won't do it, Mr. Isiejli3enccr, so
we will explain the matter 10y relating
q few facts 1t is q fact that Mr. Hi.
drcth, Ben's brother-in-llw, was at
the time engaged III sending bacols
boots, shoes, sugar and coffee across
the lines to the Confederatcs at HIar-
freeshcvo', n. c., which was trans
ported to Richmond by the Peters
burg and Weldon Railroad, for
which cotton was received in cx-
change. Hundreds of people know
this to be fact. Now, we shall not
say that the General was responsible
for this trade, any further than grant
ing permits; nor shall we say that he
was interested in it himself, but since
it is q fact that Petersburg was de-
Tended at that time by home guard
of citizens, less than five hundred
strong, and that he did allow himself
to be bottled up at Bermuda Hun
dred, we are under the impression
that the Generals brother-in law re-
minded him of the fact that if he,
with his splendid army corps, should
defeat less than Gvo hundred of the
citizen defenders of Petersburg, he
would cut off the market for ''bacon"
and kill big cotton trade. These
facts may let our cotemporary into
the secret why General Butler allowed
himself to be ''corked up tight, as if
in q bottle. . And by looking on the
map OF North Carolina, the Isielligen-
Ger may find a very good reason in
these facts why this loyal" General
did not take Fort Fisher. We are OF
the opinion, gathered from these and
other corresponding facts, that the
brave General had more "cotton"
than Eight" on the brain.

The Veto vscssarc.

Andrew Johnson has again yindi-
Gated the Constitution of his country,
and the political rights of its people,
In the message which we published
yesterday morning. If our readers
have carefully perused that docu-
ment, they will unite with us in pro
nouncing it one OF the ablest State
papers that has ever issued from the
Executive chair.
The President hos, on former occa-
sions, expressed the motives and de-
signs Of the dominant party in Con-
gress; but in this message he has
administered the scvcrest rebuke to
that reckless faction which has yet
come from his pen. He has calmly
and ably set before the people of tl.-
country the usurpations of the pre-
sent Congress, and has discussed,
with signal ability, the respective
powers of the three great depart
ments of the Government. There is
not position he has taken-not a
paragraph in the whole message
that can be successfully combatted or
contradicted. And yet, in despite of
the teachings Of the founders of the
republic, which he SO aptly brought
before these conspirators against the
Constitution and the Union, the Sc
nate of the United States (such as it
isl pressed the unrightcous measure
over the veto by vote of 20 to 10.
We really begin to despair of the
country when such q calm. dispassio--
ate argument fails to arrest the II ad
career of the men who now frame our
laws. What is to be the result, God
alone knows; but if this Republican
Government falls, the fratricidal
hands which destroyed it Will receive
the well-descrved anathcmas OF future
generations.
We need not go into an elaborate
review Of this message, as we hope
that every reader Of the PAccnic has
given il {; careful perusal. Whatever
may be the fate Of our unfortunate
country, Andrew Johnson has proved
himself to be 4 trne patriot and emf
ncnt statesman

DEATH OF CAPTAIN JACK.

We hear that, on Monday last Captain
Charles Jack, father-inlaw of Edward Bur
rail-, jr., of this city, of B. d. Elicit, OF
Keithsburg, and of Hon. Charles NJ. Harris,
of Oquswka, died at his residence, in Atkin'
son, Henry county.
Captain Jack was native of Aberdeen,
Scotland and graduated at Kings College
He was a captain in the British army at the
battle of W Waterloo. Not long after, he came
to this country, amassed large fortune in
Illinois, and, sometime before the late war
went to Texas, where he also accumulated
great riches.
After the close of the war Mr. and Mrs
Burial went to Texas, and found him, hope
lessly idiotic, and his property in charge OF
an agent. They brought him home and ev
ary possible effort was rendered to restore
his lost consciousness, but without success
He was most remarkable character, ant
his life very eventful one.
Mrs. Jack, his accomplished and mos
amiable widow, still resides at Atkinson.
