Butler, tho not great lawyer was one
who had few equals in shrewdness and
cunning. He was also a leader among
! the States Rights Democrats, and had
braved the overwhelming public opin-
ion of New England by his energetic
support Of the fugitive slave law. He
was too much of a pettifogger to be
fooled at all with the sophistry of States
Rights, and cut thru it at once with one
keen, trenchant thrust. He declared
that the escaping negros were contra
band of war, since they were employed
by their disloyal owners in labor in in

rebellion.
Gen. Buffers Account.
Gen. Butler in his book gives this
account of the incidents at the time of
his making the celebrated decision:
ION the day after my arrival at the
fort, May %, three negros were reported
coming in a boat from SewalPs Point
where the enemy was building a battery.
Thinking that some information as to
that work might be got from them, l
had them before me. I learned that
they were employed on the battery on
the Point. which as yet was a trifling
affair. There were only two guns there

larger and to be heavily mounted with
guns captured from the Navy Yard The
negros said they belonged to Col. NAL

troops around Hampton. and that he

his negros to Florida soon, and that not

tude Of the struggle, and. against the
opposition Of the politicians, began pre-
pairing for war on an immense scale.
His experience with militia had been
quite unfortunate, and his greatest mis-
take was in undertaking the splendid
men who had responded to the Presi-
dents first call. He only proposed to
use them to secure the safety of the
National Capital, and make his agrees

Instead he proposed to do no more
fighting in Eastern Virginia than he
could avoid. He would organize a great
column in camp of instruction at Xenia,
O., and when thoroly prepared move IT
directly upon Chattanooga. Another
similar column, organized somewhere in
Illinois. would be pushed down the Mis-
sissippi River. A man of SCOTS ability
should have recognized that no such
leisurely preparation was possible. The
people demanded action, and knew that
while his was spending months in drill

federacy would be left free to CONSOLE

ence was strong enough, however, to
induce the President to double the
strength Of the Regular Army and call
for $4,000 volunteers for three years.

WANTED CYCLONE CELLAR
Physician Wasn't Impressed Will
the Prayer but Wanted the
Cyclone Cellar.

A Mitchell physician was called
into the country during n of the
violent storms last week to attend to
a lady who was very sick. While the
physician sat in the room by the side
of the sick woman, the thunder,
lightning and wind was raging
fiercely outside and it made him feel
somewhat nervous. The sick lady
gave no apparent heed to the storm
and laid there as quiet and peaceful
as IL the sun shining and everything
was serene.
While the storm was raging at its
highest the sick lady told the ply
sician Of a similar storm she was in
back In Illinois, when it Seemed as
If every moment. the house would be
swept from its foundation. She said
that her father came into the house
while the storm was going on, and
which had carried away a portion Of
the porch, and called the family to-
gether and they recited the prayer
OF ..the Rosary. The sick lady said
that to her mind it was nothing else
that saved their house and possibly
their lives than the recita.. of the
prayer.
Tflee physician said he listened to
thea story or thes sick, woman. but

the window and noticed with what
severity the storm was coming, and
II the recital OF the story was made
to give him greater courage in the

physician replied: "My dear woman,
