Tan Dun Seaman ran run Anno-
rvrr.—Some months ago 'a touching
incident on the battle-field of Gettysburg
was published in all the. leading papers
of the country. A resident of Gettys-
burg, after a battle, found a dead Union
3‘ C ,soldier on the field, with an . smbrotype
. clasped. in his hands, the picture of— three
children—two boys and a girl. In his
dying moments, the soldier’s eyes bad
rested upon the faces of his precious chil-
dren. ' j
' There was no means of ascertaining
tbename orforlner resident of the sol-
dier. The smbrotype was subsequently
obtained by Dr. L. F. Rooms, of Phil-
adelphia. _, With commendable earnest-
ness the Doctor set himself to the work
of discovering rtbe soldier’s family.
_ The smbrotype-was immediately .pho-
togrephed...“ Copies rzwere exhibited in
loading-stereo in Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Pittsburgg' 'Huudreds ‘were sold
with the understanding that as soon as
the children were ,found the proceeds
should be forwarded to' them.
The incident was published in the
principal religious and. secular P893",
and the question asked everywhere,
“Where is the family of the dead sol-‘
dier 2” At last, through one of the pair
fished notices, the family was belived to
have been found, and a copy of the pic;
.tnre being sent to them, the fact was
confirmed. The family resided at the
little village of Portville, Cattaraugus
county, New York.
Meanwhile, thousands of the photo,
graphs had been sold. The demand in-
creased when the public was informed
by tbe Rev. Mr. Ogden, pastor‘ of the
family, that the widow was poor and de-
serving. Tbe father's last look promised
to be a legacy to his children—a legacy

visited the family, in order to present to
the widow and her three children the

parcel of books and papers, sent by Geo.

phia, and was able to place in the bands

—the stricken widow, trembling as she
grasped and gazed long upon the sacred
relic and wondered at the providence
which made it such a minister of aid and
consolation. .
The citizens of Portville assembled on
Sabbath afternoon in the Presbyterian
church, and after an address of greeting
by Rev. Mr. Ogden to Dr. Bournes, had
from him a detailed account of the inci-
dent and its results. He gave a state-
ment of the plan proposed in behalf of
other orphans of Union soldiers. Sever-
al addresses were delivered, and a series
of‘resolutions was presented and adopted.
The Doctor’s plan is to raise about a
thousand dollars for each of the three
children, and then make provisions for
other needy orphans.

much has been done, and is yet auticipa

their little innocent faces should tell the

General Butler’s Campaign.
The time has come when the truth
may be told about General Butler’s cam.
paign without endangering future opera-
tions. Most of what is necessary to his
vindication against an impatient and
foolish popular clamor has hitherto been
left unwritten from considerations of mili-
tary prudence; now, without undertaking
to present a complete history of his move-
ment, which is unnecessary, we shall meet
and dispose of the criticisms on his con-
duct of the campaign.
First, as to the object of General But-
ler’sexpeditiou. It was not Richmond.
The popular expectation of an offensive
movement against the rebel capital was
the ofi'spriug of popular eagerness, not at
all of General Grant’s plans. General
Butler’s orders were, first, to secure a
foothold south of the James, as far as
possible above Fort Powhatan, for a new
base of supplies; second, went the Pe-
tersburg Railroad, if possible; but on
no account to do or attempt anything
which should endanger the position once
gained on the river bank. Other opera.
tions were left to General Butler’s discre-
tion. Inasmuch, therefore, as he has
taken and held Bermuda Hundred penin-
sula, and has cut the Petersburg Rail-
road—over which for twenty-one days no
trains passed—be has done all that his
ordes required and expected.
Second, as to the conduct of the cam--
paign, it is to be observed that General
Butler’s force was much less than it was
generally believed to be. Accepting
that limitation, it will not be difficult to
see that be has done all that circumstan-
ces permitted, as well as all that his or-
ders imperatively required.
Third, it is agreed on all bands that,
up to the repulse near Fort Darling on
the morning of Monday, May 17th, the
campaign was well managed and success-
ful. The burden of the criticism on Gen-
eral Butler is derived from the retrograde
movement which carried him back from
Kingsland Creek to Bermuda Hundred.
The whole of that criticism has been based
on a letter published in theEcening Post
of May 24th, which letter was supposed
to give General Gilmore’s views of the
campaign. Admitting that the move-
ment against Fort Darling was well con-
ceived and executed, the writer of this
letter made two points against General
Butler's management, of which the first
after be had turned and carried
ing the urgent repreSentations of General
Gillmore, to intrencb the position so gain-
ed, and that because of the omission
occurred the rebel surprise and successful
attack. It is sufiicient to say that Gen-
eral Gillmore has denied this part of the
story over his own signature, denying
ing that there was neither time nor op-
portunity for such work."
The other point in the letter of the
Evening Post was this: that after the
success of the rebel attack in the fog, by
General Butler unnecessarily ordered the
withdrawal of the left under Gillmore,
and ordered it ‘against his protest; so
abandoning the attack on Foot Darling.
To answer this, it is necessary to recur-to
the begining of the movement, which
resulted in the operations on Kingsland
creek. It had but one object, via, to
mask the departure of the cavalry force.
under General Kautz to destroy the Dan-
ville Railroad. Take a good map of
Southeastern Virginia, and draw a line
from Port Walthall on the Appomattox,
to a point opposite Farrar’s Island, in
the James river; that is General But-
ler’s line of intrenchmeuts, and Kautz was
within it, wanting to get out, without
observation by the enemy occupying the
exterior works of Fort Darling on the
north and Petersburg on the south; Gen-
eral Butler sent out two columns of in-
fantry; one division under Amos taking
the pesition between Port Walthall Rail-
road and Petersburg, the remainder of
his forces seizing and holding a longer
line south of Proctor’s creek. Between
the two, as between two walls, General
Kantz with his cavalry marched safely
out, and General Butler might then have
withdrawn his troops once more within
the Bermuda Hundred line. But his left,
south of Proctor’s creek, had been attaCk-
ed, and, judging that the troops were
Beauregard’s forces marching to reinforce
Lee—as in fact they were—General But-
ler resolved to detain them, and ordered
an advance. Thus began the operations
against Fort Darling.
The turning of General Butler’s right
in the fog on the following Monday was
mainly in consequence of his inability to
extend his line so as to reach the river.
The rebels, availed themselves of the gap
which he had not men enough to fill. But
after it was turned, General Gillmore
says the left could still have been held.
Undoubtedly it could have been for a
time, but the position was such, as a look
at the map will show, that to have held
it would have risked, and probably would
have insured, the'cutting off of the forces
holding it from the other wing of the ar-
my, and from the line of intrencbments
across the Bermuda Hundred peninsula-
this latter, it is always to be kept in

that be urged intrencbments, and , declar~'
which the right under Smith was turned, ~
paign, to which all else was to be sacrifi-
ced. Under his orders, General Butler
had no right to risk losing it; rightly,
therefore, he gave orders for Gillmore tc
retire. ' ~ ,-
But there is still another reason.
When the right was turned, Smith found
himself obliged to abandon a portion of
line to the left, in order to double up on
the right and hold his new front. The
withdrawal of troops for this purpose left
a gap between him and Gillmore. The
order which Gillmore interpreted first as
an order of retreat was in fact an order
to close up this gap and reconnect with
Smith. He was ordered also to advance
in front of Smith’s intreucbmeuts so as to
fall on the enemy’s rear; but he misunder-
stood, disobeyed, and sent word he could
hold his ground. The result was that
the flanks of both corps were exposed,
and General Butler finally sent a peremp-
tory order to both to retire within the
Bermuda Hundred peninsula—the only
course remaining to him. in conformity
with his general instructions. The re-
sponsibility for tbe'failure, therefore, rests
wholly on GeneralGillmOre and not at all.
on General Butler. ‘ -
It is necessary to add a word on the
relations between General Butler and his
corps commanders. General Smith and
General Gillmore are soldiers by profess.
ion and education; General Butler is not.’
Yet, on the three main questions of the
campaign, he has been right and they,
wrong. Neither believed it possible to-
take and hold Bermuda Hundred. It'
has been done against their advice. On
first landing, General Butler wished to
advance at once against Petersburg, hav-
ing information that it was weakly garri-
soned, and that Beauregard had not then:
come up. He was right, but desisted
from his purpose on the mistaken remon-
strance of his corps commanders. Subse-
quently, after Beauregard’s arrival, Smith
wished to move against the place, against
Butler’s judgment, and was stopped by
the enemy in force on the banks of Swift
creek. But a distinction is to be made/I;
between the two commanders. Genera"
Smith, while not always agreeing will
General Butler, has cooperated with 17m ’-
zealously; General Gillmore, reluctanly. ‘

Finally, from the beginning of his ism.
