s (3d) Brigade, Terry's (1st) Division, Tenth Corps--the regiment sailed up the James River with Butler's Army, and was subsequently engaged in all its battles. In December, 1864 the Tenth Corps was 864, the One Hundred and Fifteenth sailed with the Tenth Corps for Virginia, where it joined General Butler's Army of the James and was assigned to Barton's (2d) Brigade, Turner's (2d) Division, Tenth Ames's (2d) Division of the Twenty-fourth Corps.

em, but have they ever relinquished their bloody and inhumen purposes?, Do they not still hold the halter over the heads of all the chiefs of this rebellion? Do they not arrest and thrust our peaceful citizens into jail for the crime of patriotism? Have they not passed a confiscation law, which, if they are successful, will sweep from every Southern citizen every dollar be is worth on the face of the earth? Have they not armed the negroes against their masters? Do not the brutal order of Butler in New Orleans, the horrible murder of Mumford by that unspeakable villain and similar atrocities in other Southern cities, cry aloud for retribution. We do not complain that our fields are desolated, that our gardens have been converted into deserts; that the property of our people has been subjected to wanton destruction; that their feelings have been outraged; that the inhabitants of our cities occupied by the enemy have been the victims of unparalleled oppressions and indignities.
The Murderer Butler. The murder of Mumford in New Orleans by Butler is a deed which ought never to be forgiven. If such crimes are passed by, there is no knowing fast new atrocities this fiend will commit. The exerable wretch must be punished for this murder if deeds so horrible escape retribution, then indeed has justice forsaken the earth. The Murderer Butler.

We must fight rebellion and put it down wherever, whenever and in whatever shape we find it. There can be no discrimination between the degrees of actual treason. Gen. Halleck restored order in St. Louis, and saved the State, because the people believed in the terrible carnestuess of his proclamation. He flung the responsibility of all cruelty committed upon those men who secretly sympathized with the rebellion, knowing that their influence was strong enough to control the rabble. Gen. Butler has followed the same plan in New Orleans, and now we want to see it carried out in Virginia. The letter of the Mayor of New Orleans was no more insulting than the speech of the Mayor of Norfolk. It is as much an insuit to our flag to talk against the Government as to fight against it. The Union people of Baltimore have got the right spirit, and it only needs that Government should adopt it, that law and order may be sustained by law and not by the rabble. The Government must clear up
its rapid run, reached White House speedily, first giving the alarm to the 93d New York regiment, stationed on the railroad, just above the White House, Lieut. Col. B. C. Butler, Commanding, within thirty minutes had his regiment in line, and, throwing out skir mishers, held the body of his command in reserve to guard the first Nnts of his brigade, which proceeded to Dispatch Station, and then moved a little back to guard the Chickahominy bridge. They were not disturbed. Yesterday Col. Butler, the Provost Marshal of this post, with his guard, captured six Secessionists of the neighborhood, who are shown, by pretty strong evidence, to have given aid arday morning, and called for all the newspapers, including the New York Tribune. He expressed great indiguntion at an editorial article in the Herald censuring Gen. Butler for not hanging him instead of sending his North, and was anxious to learn the author, not appearing to be aware that a man named James Gordon Bennett claims to
