REMOVAL Of GsN. M. @. BUTLER
Our distinguished and much beloved
fellow citizen, Gen. ID. @. Butler, has,
within the. past week. removed from Dur

No man living stands higher in the

felt and regretted. But. for the presen',
we will not cease to look upon him as
townsman. Happiness and success be
his, wherever he may eet up his rest!

thousands OF cartridges. cracking and

the shrieks Of the wounded, frightened
the people terribly. Nearly NIL the wo-

take fire, the firemen being unable to
arrest the progress of the flames. All
traffic on the bridges was stopped, and a
panic Of the troops was feared. Tic
