GEN. BUTLER AND GEN SCOTT
The reader of history will recall that
General Butler went to Fort Monroe
from Baltimore His entry to that city
on May IA without specific orders had
aroused the ire OF General Scott
So when General Scott drew up orders
to guide General Butler at Fort Monroe
his sphere of operations was limited TO

General Scott over the Baltimore Incl

orders the veteran had said. with a

General Butler had found q smiling

Col. Joseph B. Carr, Of the Second New

route to Richmond with the barrels OF
heavy guns.
The Virginia capital. soon to become
the seat of the confederate government,

roads.
At Hampton roads was a unien naval
force blockading the mouth OF the
river. and thus limiting it's usefulness
to the confederates. The seizure OF
Newport News not alone made the
blockade more effective by giving the
ships the assistance Of batteries on
shore, but 1t held the mouth of the
river, and its lower reaches, for future
uses in union military movements.
The inability of Virginia, for want or
men and means, to seize Fort Monroe
had been a keen disappointment to the
confederacy, for the great fortress was
the key to the Chesapeake bay, to Nor

CONGRESSMEN CARE
FOR AGED NEGRO

WASHINGTON. d. c., July 2s.-
Thanks to the efforts of Congressman
Schley Howard. of Georgia, and Ben
Humphries, of Mississippi, the national
house of representatives will take care
of James Stephens, an aged Georgia ne
gro, who was Governor Alexander H.
Stephens body guard during his life.
Stephens has been placed on the rolls
of the house as labofer at $50 a
month.
Only recently the senate, after a
heated debate, decided to continue on its
rolls James Jones, who was President
Jefferson Davis body guard. 1t is re-
marked upon as singularly and entirely
BETTING that. after the United States
senate decided to take care of the man
servant of the president of the confed-
eracy, the house should follow suit by
providing a place for the body guard OF
the vice-president of the confederacy.
