Butler Dumbfounded.

! The following is faithful and
graphic report Of the appearance oi
General bradley T. Johnson before
the Pat Woods committee Of Con,
grcss on Friday last, tho 24th instant
Butler will perhaps call for an inyes'
tigating committee to ascertain how
the facts leaked out but who cares 7
Butler was attempting to show that
tho citizens Of Richmond approved OF
! Pat Woods beating Porter, and wit.
ness swore that q gentleman, on bid
ding Pat goodbye in the cars had
given him money, and told him "to
recollect the First Virginia."
The witness was mistaken, however,
and General Bradley T. johnson. who
was present rs Woods counsel, had
himself sworn RS witness, in order
to explain that he had given the
money, and that Moore, Pats former
Colonel, had told him to recollect the
First Virginia. .
General j. said s'I had never
heard Of Pat before the beating, and
was applied to to defend him, because
my practice was in the Federal courts
ma was familiar with the laws Of
Congress. That, finding him about
to be carried among strangers, illegal
ly, poor and without money, I gave
him what had about me-" ~.
Butler--"Did you ever hear of my
other act, good or bad, done by Pat
Woods besides this assault on Por.
ter :"
The question was objected to by
one Of the committee.
Butler then avowed that his object
was to show that the witness
(whom no said he believed to be a
highly respectable gentleman,) SYM
pathized with Pat, (of whom General
j. had never heard before this event
to such an extcnt as to have given him
money, from which hc would draw
tho inference that he General J.)
approved ofPat's act.
After a long discussion, the COM
mittce ruled that the ques; ion should
be answered, and Butler repeated it
rs above. a.s
General J...-"Ycs l have heard
of one other good act of his."
"What was it ~ asked Butler, and
he ind the others Of tho committee
looked at the witness with great inter
est. A

of the first Virginia regiment Tor, four

ceived the reply. He fairly gasped
