GENERAL BUTTERFIELD's DEATH.


To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The excellent picture OF General Butterfed
in The Tribune of the 18th inst. and the notice OF
his death will appeal forcibly the minds of many
members of General Butterfelds brigade at Halls
Hill Va in the fall Of 1861. All novelty then,
with dress parades and bayonet drill having as
interested spectators General Butterfeld, General
Fitz John Porter and General Mcclellan and his
numerous staff Generals Butterield and Porter
seemed very to us, and their recent deaths
like a personal bereavement. We were in close
contact with Generals Butterheld and Porter at
Yorktown. Hanover Court House and Gaines's Mill
At the last named place General Butterfed adj
dressed the brigade with inspiring words antici-
pating and expecting every man TO do his duty:
General Fitz John Porter and the Fifth Corps did
their full duty that day but were greatly outnpm,
bered while the Great Unready." with the bulk Of
the army. quietly listened TO the sound of battle
from the opposite side of the Chickahominy. Later
events and promotion separated General Butter
field from his brigade and called him TO greater
and graver responsibilities. but he never lost the
regard and confidence which he had inspired in
the earlier days OF the war

time in Salt Lake yesterday, and when

pressions of regret that they could not
remain even longer The programme
arranged by the local committee was
carried out. At 9 o'clock the party

Fort Douglas and return. BY noon
they were assembled in the tabernacle,
where a recital was given by Professor

their way to Saltair-
Some Of the conductors remained at

There is no special programme Of
entertainment for today, but the Wis

they leave over the Rio Grande West

The ChicagOans are the last Of the
