letter From General Butler.

General Butler has addressed the follow
ing letter to the Boston Journdt.
BosroN, July 20, 1868.
TO The Editors Of Ne Boston Journal,
Sir: | see in your tecgraphic column a
notice that Charles W. Woolcy and Kim
bery Brothers brought suit against inc in
Baltimore; in other and less accurate pa
pers that 81 was arrested. The first is
true, the latter lot,
The purpose Of Wooley's suit is obvious.
Tie telegram adds that the Kimberly suit is
'sior money cxtUrled from them while ! was
in command at Fortress Monroe" Both
suits were brought by John Sufratts attor-
ney 1.-The latter in order to give occasion for
the telegram.
Kimberly Brothers claim is for rent paid
| by them for occupation Of Government land.
A board Of survey reported that all the oc-
cupants of Government land for shopkeep-
ing purposes should pny rent the amount
of which the board fixed. My provost mar
shal collected Of the Kimberlys (among 9th
ers), and accounted for that rent which
am sued, and i. is photographed over the coun-
! try ''for cxtorting money"
| This is specimen Of rebel ISLANDERS against
me, and rebel claims against the Govern
ment.
All respectable papers unwittingly giving
currency To this ci.umny VIII, doubt not,
| give place to the reiutaliun. Respectfully
BENJAMlN i. BurlER.

anxious, when the settlements were being ar
ranged, 10 have the little singer present him with
that amount to pay ii OIL Her advisers, howev-
er, Baron James Rothschild, and Maurice Stra-
kosch, would not hear to such n proposition, but
secured the whole of present fortune, 5OO,OOC
francs, 10 the use Of herself and children. One
third Of he future eainings-which are about
400, 900 francs year.-is to be set aside for The
same purpose the remainder being left to the ust
OF her husband aud herself. with prudence,
it is said this sum would soon pay oil the Mar
quiss debts, bu, as he has been accustomed te
living ut II rate far above his income, il Is no
likely that he will be induced to put such re
straint on his tastes us will enable him to accom-
| pish so desirable a result.

Hon. JOSHUA HILL, of Georgia, just
elected United States Senator, justitics our
hopes concerning him. He turns out to be,
as we were confident he would, the earnest
friend OF Grant, Colfax, and Peace. An
Atlanta telegram, last evening, briefly says !;
At Republican Hall, Joshua Hill made a
speech in favor of Grant and Colfax as the
only hope for the country.
Very good. The Hill road is good one

more and more urgent, till a physician
was sent for. He examined the wine
and found it wholly destitute of grape
juice or even alcohol, but composed
mainly oflogwood and copperas, both
of which were very perceptiblc to his
practiced taste. Ithad done mischief
like two edged sword; on the one
side failing to furnish the needed tonic

New YORK, April 11.-An Ottawa
special says the rumor that two per
sons implicated in the murder of Mr..
MCGEE had escaped to the interior
have been exploded by detectives
There is no doubt but there were many
accomplices, and the authorities expect
to obtain clues to them. Whelan has
openly avowed Fenian sentiments and
hatred to Mr.. MCGEE in Quebec, Mon
treal. Ottawa, and Hamilton. In the
latter city he made his appearance
about the time of the Ridgeway fight,
hailing from Buffalo, and gave out that
he was Fenian and used such senti-
ments that the authorities there ar
rested and detained him some days.
A Montreal special says o. j. Dew
lin and T. B. McNamee, prominent
citizens connected with the Fenians,
were arrested. Correspondence found
in Ottawa, duplicates several promi-
nent citizens. Mrs. MCGEE refused
to accept the address of coincidence
from St. Patrick's Society, as she
thinks it primarily responsible for her
husbands murder. Three prisoners
have turned Queens evidence against
Whelan, whose guilt is almost conclu.
sively established. The trial will take
place next week.
At st. Eustache, a man named LIE
ban and his wife, who were in the hab-
it of robbing and numbering wayfar-
ers and travellers who stopped &C their
house, attacked traveller, the man
with an ak and the wife with razor.
The traveller knocked down his assai-
lants and the wife installing her bus.
band for him cut his throat. She has
been arrested and has confessed all Of
her past horrible transactions. Thr@
skeletons were found in the house.

Wine as a Medicine.

If it were an imaginable thing that
pure and genuine wine, could be pro-
cured, it is possible that in certain
cases, wine would be useful as med
icine. But there is not the least rea-
son to suppose that one gallon in
hundred if indeed one in thousand,
of what is sold as wine, contains a sin
gle drop of the juice Of the grape, or
is of the least value as a medicine or
beverage. On the contrary, the
many pernicious, and even poisonous
substances with which the great bulk
of the wine in the country is drugged
by the unprincipled scoundrels who
deal it out, make it one of the most
dangerous things that even healthy
man can take into his stomach, and, las
a remedy for sick man, as much to
be dreaded as mer curry, nightshade,
or arsenic.
A few days ago, there died in New
port, woman, whose death, in the
judgment of the physician who attend.
ed her in her last hours, was hasten.
ee, if not directly occasioned by the
wine that was used to promote her
recovery. One Of her limbs had been
amputated, and the operating surgeon
advised that wine should be given in
small quantities, as a tonic, if there
shall seem to be any failure, or sink
ing of the system. Several days pass
ed, and the wound was healing as wei
as wound could heal, when it wa
noticed that her pulse was feeble, ant
resort was had to the wine. 1t wa
administered in quantities not exceed
ing table spoonful at a time, but tn
more it was administered the feeble
the pulse became, and there were evi
dent symptoms Of some derangemen
of the stomach. The case becam
