interesting. as it shows clearly Buffers
controversial abilities. which no one
who knew him ever wantonly provoked.
Butler had been a Democrat of the
Democrats, having voted in the Char
lesion Convention 81 times for Jeffer-
son Davis. Butler was dcmagog and
pettifOgger of the highest order. and
he well understood how to meet the So
phistry of States Rights with the keen
er edge of his own special pleading.
The correspondence reads:

The 9TH n. Y. reached Washington
April 25, and was received with rap

Promptly debarking and forming,

up the magnificent street, with their
weli-fOrmed ranks. their exact military
step. their soldierly bearing, their gai!y
floating flags. and the inspiring music
of their splendid regimental band, they
seemed to sweep all thought of danger
and all faint of treason out of that
great National thorofare and out Of
every human heart in the Federal City.

seemed to turn the scales of fate.

Gen. Scott and his loyal subordinate,
, Col. Stone, had anxious hours. with
daylight filled with DARK: presagcs of
what the night would bring to them,
and the night full of alarms as to what
the day might usher in. They had
something like 1000 militia. to which
Gen. Scott had succeeded in adding six
companies of Regulars by gathering
small squads from various places at
which these were on duty. Among
these were two fine batteries of light
artillery, which counted for much both
in the estimation of the authorities at
Washington and in the plans of tie
enemy who meditated a descent upon
the city. All the public buildings We're
barricaded, and complete campaign
of defense. fighting to the last, had been
worked out by Col. Stone, with the ap-
prevail of Gen. Scott. There was talk
of enrolling every able-bodied man in
the city in its defense. and this had the
wholesome effect of sending South
quite a number of young men who
were ill-dispOsed toward the Union and
under no, circumstances would fight
against the Secessionists. DO.
The Shameful Sacrifice Of the Navy Ynrd.
The Navy showed up quite as badly in
the South in the earlier stages of the
war, as the Army. While there was
no overt, actual treason, as in the case
of Twiggs's surrender of his army. the
| loss of the Navy Yard at Portsmouth
was quite as discreditable TO the Navy
as Twiggs's surrender was to the Army,
and the consequences even more harm
| full to the Union cause. The Navy Yard
| at Gosport, a suburb of Portsmouth,
| Va, was one of the oldest and best In
| the possession Of the Government. 1t
occupied sheltered spot on the mar
| gin of a deep, narrow arm of tide
| water reaching down to Hampton
| Roads, and connected on the south side
with the Great Dismal Swamp. Ever
since the beginning of the English set
| tlement in this country, this spot had
been of interest as harbor of refuge
another it had been expected that it
would be made the principal Naval De-
pot of the Nation. 1t probably might
have been called so at the outbreak of
| the war. because 1t had been the policy

everything possible there to crafty
