4 Model for Reconstruction

In view of recent election occurrences
in Washington, d. c., the unreconstruct-
I'd condition of Mississippi and Texas is
very distressing. Since there can be
neither reconstruction nor loyalty"
where negroes are not allowed TO break
heads, burn houses, plunder pockets,
and do all manner of violence and viii
lainy without let, question or hindrance,
and since this state of facts prevails es-
pecially at the National Capital, 1t
would be we'll to take that city of mag
nificent disorders as model, and after
it to reorganize the whole country un-
til throughout this free and happy land
the lawless darkey
shall reign, whereer tho sun
Doth his successive journeys run.
a commencement might be made with
Georgia, Mississippi, Texas and Virginia,
and when the work is so far advanced
as to empty Tophet and fill those States
with bowling devils in dun and demons
in black, the process might be extended
from State to State until the land uni
versal shall bow to its dark destiny and
accept future of outlawry, vice and
brutality, such as the negro has given
Washington, rs the best fate possible
under the equalizing and civilizing no.
tions of Radicalism. If anarchy and
ruin mus; be met, let them come
quickly and generally. If the
Radicals be right, white people have
many new lessons to learn about the
capabilities of the man and brother,
aud even Providence must be taught to
entertain a different opinion of the ne.
gro'o ability to manage affairs in gener
al. According to our reformers even
the Ruler OF this worlds mysteries has
made a great mistake in all hisestimates
of the negro's worth. Let the reform
proceed and the world be taught at
once this new truth in politics and
morals, that the nearer we approach te
imbccility and brutality, the more do
we develop the best elements of progress
and of power

CITY POINT, VA, July l, 1864.
Major General Halleck, Washington, d. Co.:
Mr.. Dana, Assistant Secretary of War,
has Just returned. He informs me that
he called attention to the necessity OF
sending General Butler to another field
of duty. Whilst | have no difficulty
with General Butler, finding him always
clear in his conception of orders, and
prompt to obey, yet there Is want OF
knowledge how to execute, and par
ticularly a prejudice against him
as commander, that operates
against his usefulness. | have feared
that it might become necessary to sep
arate him and General Smith. The lat
ter is really one of the most efficient
officers in the service, readiest in expe-
dieats, and most skilfuI in the manage
ment of troops in action. | would dis.
like removing him from his present
command, unless it was to increase it,,
but, as | say, | may have to do it if
General Butler remains.
As an administrative officer General
Butler has no superior. In taking
charge of department where there are
no battles to be fought, bot dissatisfied
element TO control, no one could man
age it better than he. Ii a command
could be cut out, such as Mr.. Dana pro
posed, namely: Kentucky, Illin9is and
Indiana; or if the Department of the
Missouri, Kansas, and the States of Hi
nois and Indiana could be merged to.
gether, and General Butler put over it,,
think the good of the service would be
subserved.
| regret the necessity of asking for a
change in commanders here, but General
Butler not being soldier by education
or experience, is in the hands of his
subordinates in the execution of all op-
erations military. IwouId feel strength
ensd with Smith, Franklin or J. J. Rey-
nolds commanding the right wing of
the army. At the same time, as have
here stated, General Butler has always
been prompt in his obedience to orders
from me, aud clear i'll his understanding
of them. l would HOt, therefore, be
willing to recommend his retirement.

Grnnr, RutIer and Smith.

The following letter OF General
Grant, which has been lately published,
is interesting as history. The public
have been impressed with the idea that
General Grant had not confidence in
General Smith at the time of the attack
on Petersburg in Jane, 1864, and in his
report made in 1865 the Commander-in-
Chief left as much to be inferred. This
letter. written few weeks after that
occurrence, is conclusive against any
such idea. 1t is amusing also as exhibit

far from fapltless, but their boat
goes along well, and their prospects are
decidedly promising. IL is not unlikely
that the race will be very close one.
The Harvards men have determined to
use the new boat built for them by FL
lott, which carries them better and
makes greater speed than any other
they have tried. No trouble is feared,
but every prseautiOn has been taken
against foul play, and strong guard is
kept constantly over the boats. The
Harvard crew has spent the last two
nights at the Sinrgess House. They wish
me TO contradict the English statement
that they have adopted the English
style Of rowing. All the crew say
they pull the same stroke as last
year; but for oil that, they show
an immense chan ge for the better. There
seems to have been little trouble about
the referee. Oxford wanted 10 change
but Harvard, I am glad to say, very
properly sticks to Thomas II. Hughes.
In consequences Of this Mr.. Gritty
refuses TO act as umpire, and is not
willing TO serve under Hughes. The

understand French sufficiently well to rem
der Buerre" into butter, confess tina, NV
knowledge of English does not enable me 10
comprehend the article entitled "The Butter
Question Again"
/ read Mrs. Stoves condemnation of New
England butter, as compared with the pro-
ductions of English dairies with disgust; for
although have not perhaps enjoyed as ma
ny advantages of foreign travel as that Iitera-
ry lady, have improved my opportunity of
eating butter in very many European coun-
tries and stu can boast, with truth, that l
nave returned to New England with taste
I'm every sense of the word,) as well as with
"heart untravelled." Possibly having always
been accustomed to good butter at home. 1
may be less exactipg and difficult in this par
ticular, than Mrs. Stowe; besides long expe-
rience has rendered me too sage to expect the
comforts of home while abroad
The reply to Mrs. Stowe was, confess,
rather gratifying to my New England pride
and education, and would like to know why
Mrs. Stowe should not be answered and even
criticised, in common with other writers.
AZ to Mrs. Catherine Beecher's endorse
ment Of the Beecher character in general, and
Mrs. Stoves domestic accomplishments in
particular, 1 am free to say, that, inasmuch
as literary ladies are proverbially, and, almost
necessarily, deficient IN housekeeping culture,

your late numbers Of the Press,) while am
open to conviction on this point, 1 should
like to see the person who can convince me.
