BUTLER,s LITTLE TRICKS.
ILLUSTRATION OF His Money-Makins
v.. Operations with the Rebs.

The Waterbury (Connecticut) Ameri-
can, conducted by an army officer IN
Louisiana during the war, gives some
more Illustrations Of the vaunted But
lerian administration in New Orleans.
II was while there that he began his
business of chief importer of supplies
for the rebel army, which he renewed
and carried on so extensively afterward
while in command of the Army Of the
James that General Grant said be could
not break it up until he had removed
him and put an honest man in his place
There are one or two we'll authenti-
Gated facts concerning his career in New
Orleans, says the Waterbury journal,
which wewould like to hear him explain.
For instance, on Friday, 23d day Of Sep
tember, 1862, by pass direct from him,
a schooner, containing among other val
liable stores, 1000 sacks of salt, was sent
from New Orleans directly across Lake
Ponchartrain to Ponchatonia. the head
quarters OF Gen JEFF. Thompson, OF the
Confederate army At this time the
rebels were suffering terribly for salt,
and, according to deserters and refu-
gees, this commodity was selling at one
dollar per pound. The 1000 two-bushel
sacks were enough to supply the whole
rebel army with rations for week.
Now, if this was worth so much to the
Confederacy, how much was it worth TO
General Butler? Some smart Massa-
chusetts boy will please answer. We
call on Wendell Phillips. Three days
later, on Monday, the 26th day of
September, 1862, another large schooner
loaded with the most valuable army
stores, was passed in the same
manner to the same destination. Among
the list of articles mentioned on her
manifest were salt, oil, brandy, whisky,
hams, mess pork, epson salts, castor
oil etc. General B. +. Butler, who fur
nished these vessels their permits, knew
what were their cargoes, and what was
their destination. Win Rev. Mr. Mar
win explain how he happened to pass
them2 These are only two OF many sim
liar instances, and if Butler denies them
they eau be substantiated to the satis-
faction of the most incredulous. The
fact seems to be, however, that the sup
porters of Butler care nothing for such
triAes as these, and glory in the fact
that their Boss" could teach Tweed
and Sweeney lessons in the noble art Of
aceumulating money, which they never
dreamt OF in their philosophy.

TORN no DEATH.
An Engineer Caught I'm the Fly
Wheel of His Engine.

Mteel Ol HIS EnKtGes
From the Courler-Journal, 23d.l
One of the most horrible accidents
that have ever been recorded in this city
occurred yesterday morning at the
woolen mills of J. w. Slime, corner of
Jefferson and Campbell streets. Martin
Bashang was employed as engineer, and
yesterday morning, the main belt lead
ing from the engine not working satis-
iaotorily, was in the act of putting some
rosin upon it, when, it is supposed, his
foot slipped on some loose bricks, and
he was caught in the ny-wheel and
drawn down into the cavity which lies
under the wheel and thrown over on the
| other side.
John Schneider, employe Of the fac
| tory, who sometimes assisted Hashang
gives the following account The en-
gine moved very slowly at the time Of
starting, and went into the engine-room
| TO see what was the matter, and not per
ceiying Martin looked around for him.
My attention was attracted by q few
clots of blood upon the pavement, and
upon looking closer saw something be-
yond the Ay-wheel, which looked like n
aud went behind the boiler, and found
Martin--or what was left of him-cut
and mangled all to pieces; his legs were
split ahd thrown over his shoulders, his
arms were twisted nearly of, his head
crushed and number of ribs broken.
He was dead. The deceased was hard
working, industrious man, and leaves a
wife and two children. He has been in
the employ of the company for five or
six years.

Brandon.

Editor Rutland Herald The Brandon
Brass Band gave concert at the Town
Hall last evening, to large and delighted
audience. From what had been learned of
the spirit, and improvement of this band,
there was reason to expect good concert,
but a performance of such high order
and OF 80 much merit was not expected
by even the most ardent friends of the
band. The concert was under the direc-
tion of Professor Frank Wilson. teacher
OF the band during the past winter a
gentleman, as it seems to me, of rare gifts
as musician, and, judging from the per-
formances of the band, of very great abil-
ity as teacher. The faultless playing of
'Let the Dead and the Beautiful Rest"
"Passion Flower,"-"Leisure Hours" and
"The Night Bell" gave ample proof Of
rare ability in both teacher and pupils.
The band was very ably assisted by
Mrs. F. w. Page, and Mrs. w. A. Ross J;
also by Misses Kittie and Linnie Cook,
and Mr.. William Lewis. Mrs. Page pre-
sided at the piano with great skill, and
Mrs. Ross, beautiful singer, delighted
and thrilled the audience with song; and
both exhibited fine taste and culture in
beautiful duet. We most heartily congrat-
ulate all concerned upon the perfect sue
cess of the concert, and hope that the day
is not far distant when we shall be favored
again with like entertainment A very
pleasant feature of the occasion was
the coming of the Rutland Band to
exchange greetings, and to mingle their
notes with our own band ,as was very pleas.
antly done lin our parks, and along our
streets, before the concert, and the giving
of their beautiful serenade at the mid
night hour, just before their departure.
The young gentlemen of the Brandon
Band deserve the earnest thanks of our
citizens for their efforts te entertain US on
many occasions in the past, and they will
most certainly deserve all the aid and en-
coursgement we can give them in their
future efforts for improvement, and as
they shall cheer US with their ever well
come music, in days to come. Long may
they live and flourish.

CRUEL AS THE GRAVE. By Mrs. Emma
d. E. N. Southworth. Philadelphia,
Peterson & Brothers.
This work possesses the fascination of
Mrs. Southworth's former novels, and sus.
tains her reputation as creator of large
and varied of sensational literature. Her
works have been devoured with uniform
eagerness by such readers as hunger after
this sort of mental diet. This last
volume displays the workings of jealousy,
and the author carries her heroine, who
is a victim of an unfortunate combination
of circumstances, through a wonder
full series of adventures, escapes and
ghsstly horrors, and finally, having
dropped her into a mysterious vault in
habited by a band of burglars, she in
forms her trembling and terror stricken
readers that "Sybips further adventures
will be related in the sequel to this work,
to be Immediately published under the
title of 'Tried for her Life $50 the poor
girl is doomed to rise from the grave of
the Dubarry's," only to encounter new
troubles, more dire than she has yet ex-
perienced. We regret it. 1t seems to us
as if she had reached place where it is
eminently safe and proper to leave her.
