Butler, who, according to Artemus Ward, posses a larger collection of gold and silver watches and silver spoons than even Brigham Yonng, recently addressed a meet ing in Washington city. Among other things be said: “ He thought it would be only justice that the boun ties should be acquired, but, as much as he felt the justice of the duo, he would pause long before he would vote to appropriate a sum necessary for that purpose. He suggested that the public lands of the United States should be appropriated far that purpose. The soldier who had fought the battles of his country had a right to them. By this means the government would be made rich instead of poorer. If it was found that there was not land enough, we should begin at Arlington and go southward. No one has a better right to it than he who has rescued it from the hands of the enemy; than he whose comrades lie buried in it, and whose blood has enriched its soil. He can s aim it by a higher title than he who has forfeited it ^.treason and rebellion. He did not contend for harsh measures, except where it was necessary. The men who have fought this war should have the fruits of the war. To our assailants we give all that they take. Soldiers had a right to make the demand for other reasons,for securi ty to the country for which they have fought. If this land was settled by the soldiers who won.lt, the armies of the United States—there would be no difficulty about the readmittance of the Southern States to the Union. Nor did be think anyilnjustice would be done. The South put everything in the balance. They played for empire, and lost, and should not ob ject when the stakes were called for. If they, had won, they would nave asked the last dollar. It Is but fair that we conquer not only their rights, have won their lands, but that we should conquer their prejudices too. Urge on Coagress that they do jus tice. If they object, point them southward and say, there is a patrimony which we won; give ns that which we fought for. The speaker gave a sketch of Gen. R. E. Lee, who was found fighting in the ranks of the enemy duliug a long and bloody war, who saw the officers of his cohntr; starving and suffering, and when his word was omnipotent never spoke in their favor, who made every attempt to make successful a rebellion which was so odious that the soldier is said to have gone into it with tears, and carried on the war when it was known to be hopeless. He is now a teacher of the youth of the country—their duty to the flag. If this is to be so then' the blood of the soldier has been spilled in vain. General Lee, by his resignation and acceptance of the position of commander-in-chief of the rebel forces in Virginia be- fore the ratificatioB of the ordinance forced the State out of the Union, and now there is not strength enough in the constitutional power of the Government to bring him to trial, and ascertain whether treason is to be punished or not. Butler would like to see that military offence tried in order that it be understood hereafter- that it is death to desert one’s flag and take service In the ranks of the enemy. Jefferson Davis, whom he also spoke of at length, had quitted the halls of Congress to take the Presidency of the Confederate States. He had seen prisoners starved and murdered, which could not have been done unlees he wished it; and also the horrors of Andersonville. Whether he had any complicity in the inurder of the President no one knows. He would desire to see this crime of a civil magistrate levying war against the United States, not only made odious, but punished upon the gallows, that no Senator here should concoct treason and carry It out. Then there will be a time to pause and say what can be done next, but up to that time he saw no opportunity to stop. The speaker closed by refer ring to the loyal men of North Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, Alabama aud Louisiana, who were in the armies of the United States.. He thought they were worthy of a separate resolution, and deserving of some rebel land.” siosof the Episcopal Chubch of Geobgia that or the United States.—The following to Bishop Johns of Virginia, makes an an- icement of interest : Savannah, Diocese of Geobgla.

Haeeibon, Secretary Diocese of Georgia. a is Mexico —The editor of the News, writing bGalveston on the Gth, says: he of our citizens has just received a letter from Jor Strobell, dated Tcpic, Mexico, November, 1865. fill be remembered that Major StrobeU, with his lily, also, Colonel David Terry and his family, also, ISephew, Captain David Terry and some others, all lm company for Mexico last June, only a week or Ithe final surrender of the Trans-Mississippi runout.

The letter describes that country as • delightful.

Mr. Pollard of the Richmond Examiner, who shot at a man and hit the statute of Washington in the Rich mond Capitol a few days ago, was publicly reprimand- ed by the Speaker of the House of Delegates, on Satur day last. No other penalty was Inflicted. Pollard put in a plea in self-defence, from which the following is an extract : “With Mr. Coleman I had no cause of quarrel. I held him to no sort of responsibility for tho obnoxious article. I did, however, intend to inflict chastisement upon Mr. Tyler for the insult. Accordingly, I sought him in various quarters during the whole of the day of the appearance of the articles, but either from his evasions, or otherwise, I did not encounter him ■ On the second day I proceeded to the Capitol, with the expectation of meeting Mr. Tyler somewhere in its neighborborhood. I now solemnly avow that I did not go to the Capitol building for the purpose of inflict ing chastisement on Mr. Tyler within its precincts. My expectation was that I should meet Mr. Tyler Boinewhere in the vici nity of the Hall, charge him with tho insult, and follow him out. where we could have some settlement of the diffit ulty at another place. In this temper and this purpose I met Mr. Tyler as he came out of the hall. In moving towards him I distinctly saw a pistol in his hand presented as if for the purpose of assault. Net until I saw Mr. Tyler’s pistol did I draw or attempt to draw any weapon. When I saw his wea pon I exclaimed, “that is what you want, is it ?” at the same time drawing my pistol. I did not fire at Mr. Tyler at all during the entire difficulty. My impres sion is very strong that Mr. Tyler fired at me, how ever. I did not Are a pistol at any person until I was shot at by Mr. Coleman, and then I only returned his lire, discharging three barrels of the six. That’s all 1 He only fired three barrels out of the six. It appears from the evidence that the members of the Virginia Legislature, as well as the editors of the Richmond newspapers, arm themselves. Thus: “E. F. Keen (a Senator) Bwom: The day of the affray I met Mr. Coleman, and he informed me that it was reported that Mr. Pollard intended an attack on the editors of the Enquirer—said he had no acquaintance with Mr. Pollard, but he had been in the presence of a gentleman represented to be Mr. Pollard, since the threat had been made, and his (Mr. Coleman’B) uame had been called several times in his presence. Mr. Coleman said he presumed Mr. Pollard would not make a street attack, but that he would resort to the mode usual amongst gentlemen for settling difficulties. I told him he ought to be prepared for any emergency. Mr. Coleman said he never carried weapons. Subse quently Mr. Coleman came to my seat in the Senate and borrowed a small Derringer pistol. This was about an hour or an hour and a half before the af fray." ■ [From the San Francisco Evening Bulletin, Dec. 23.] The Bar’s Tribute In the Late Judge Hc- AUlstcr. At a meeting of the members of the San Francisco bar held this 22d day of December, 1866, in the oourt room of the Circuit Court of the United States, to ex- press their appreciation of the high character, and their sorrow at the death, of the late Hon. Matthew Hall McAllister, Joseph P. Hogc was called to the chair, and John 3.Williams appointed Secretary. Eugene Casserly moved that a committee of seven be appointed by the Chair to draft and present appro priate resolutions ; which motion being adopted, the Chairman appointed as such committee Eugene eas terly, C. Temple Emmet, Gregory Yale, Judge Alex- tuder Campbell, Jr., Judge William P. Daingerfleld, Judge S. F. Reynolds and William Barber. After a short retirement, the committee returned and reported the following resolutions, which on mo tion of Gregory Yale, seconded by Henry E. Highton and accompanied with appropriate remarks by both of these gentlemen, were unanimously adopted ; Resolved, That we are profoundly sensible of the loss sustained by us In the death of Matthew Hall McAllister, formerly Judge of the Circuit Court of the United States for California. • That his memory is cherished by us, and Belongs to the jndicial history of this State, as the memory of one, who, as the first Circuit Judge of the United States on this coast, bore his full part In the forma tion of our new and difficult Jurisprudence, and who, during the period of his services for seven years on the ctreuit Bench, was eminent for Mobility, learn ing and integrity; for his fidelity to his convictions of duty ; for an untiring Industry limited only by the necessities of the case; for his dignity of character, ever studious to maintain an elevated tone both of the Bench and the Bar; and which being combined to him with a most patient attention and a never failiogand natural courtesy and consideration, to every member of the Bar. nave earned for him our sincere esteem and affectionate and lasting remem- brance. Resolved, That while we speak first of our depart ed brother in that public capacity In which he was most generally known, we cannot forget that his judifeal services were bat the fitting close to a long litehonorable and useful to himself and his family, and to his fellow citizens both in bis native aud adopted State. *■ . And it is due to him that we should also commemo rate the remarkable and almost unprecedented power and success with which, at the age of fifty, after nearly thirty yean spent by him in active practise as a lead ing lawyer and as a public man in prominent political life in Georgia—coming to San Francisco, he took and held a distinguished place in the front rank of our bar until his appointment as Circuit Judge; his jealous so licitude for the honor sad usefulness of our profession and his unwavering fidelity in the discharge of his du ties as an advocate, at whatever responsibility to him-. Mil, his kindly and geaial nature and his many fine qualities both of head and heart, which, together with his liberal education, varied culture ana luge experi ence, illustrated his high social sod professional posi tion, drew around him a wide circle of Mends and lent attractions to all hia personal intercourse as well as to his solid attributes of character. Resolved, Tint to hie family and relatives we re- jectfully offer the assurance of our sympathy with tern in their bereavement.^ Resolved, That a report of thaM proceedings, duly attested by the officers of this mebting.be transmitted to the family of Judge McAllister, and that a copy thereof be, under proper permission, placed upon the records of ths several Courts of the United States and of the State in this city and county, and also of the 8u- creme Court df ttxhi Sttte- P XoJwTTb*ttbb» proceeding* be publish^! in eucltpubUc journals sa shall be selected by the officers of this meeting.

Earthquake Id Caracas. On the 15th December last, as we learn by advices received by ship White Wing, from Venezuela, toe city of Caracas was visited by two shocks of earth, quake. The first and most severe one waa about five, and the second about nine P. M. The shocks were very strong and marked in character, and seemed to pro- ceed from southeast to northwest No very material damage was caused, though several walls in houses were cracked. The whole population was stricken with affright, rushing pale and ghastly out into the streets, some iu tears, others on their knees saying their prayers. Many took their beds out of their houses and slept in the open plazas. Large processions paraded the streets at midnight, led by the priests, chanting their prayers. Many families have left the city to sojourn in the coun trv tiU the danger is past. On Monday following, toe 18th, a third shock was felt, much like the two former, except slighter and of shorter duration; but it seemed to cause more general alarm than the first. People quit their employments, the Government House was emptied of its employees and closed. Even the President of the Republic found himself rushing into the street for safety. At evening lights were ordered to be placed to the windows to honor tho Archbishop, who was to pass through cer tain streets praying for the city, j The shocks extended to Laguayra, Puerto Cabello, | Valencia, and all other places heard from. It is feared these shocks age premonitions of a more serious one, as in 1812, when a third of the city was destroyed. A Winter Thunder Storm. The Cincinnati Commercial of Sunday says: “We have had an extraordinary number of re markable nights and days, but Friday night was the most notable of the season. Friday was almost warm enough to have woed the blue birds.the bees and the peach blossoms from their hiding places. At night fall the sky darkened and the thermometer fell, and soon after midnight there was a mighty storm. The wind was wild and dashed the torrents of rain against the bouses with prodigious violence. There was an Immense development of electricity. The glare of lightning was at times as keen and inces sant as In a mid-snmmer night’s thunder storm. A house west of the city was struck by lightning and burned, the red light of the flames showing intensely against the black and dismal sky, and the clangor of the Are bells was heard In the uproar of the tem pest. Daring the same storm a tree, near the bar racks of the Western Military Institute, at Dayton, was struck and shivered by lightning. “ a midnight thunder storm in mid-winter was a startling novelty, and thousands were roused from slumber, and for hoars were wakeful and anxious. At three o’clock yesterday morning the air was filled with particles of ice, that fairly whistled as they flew in the gale, cracked on the window glass, and stung the faces of those belated and exposed. At daylight the streets and roofs were white with snow, and the mercury had fallen In the neighborhood of fifty de grees in twelve hours.” Cbawfobd th* Fillibdstkb.—The United States authorities have taken prompt action concerning toe recont filibustering operations of outlaws upon toe Rio Grande. “General” Crawford, toe prime mover in toe disturbance, has been arrested, and Genent Weitzel, who commands our troops fta’the Rto Grande district, has Issued an order declaring that any person who shall hereafter commit a breach of the neutrality laws by such outrages, will be summarily executed. That U the true and only safe course. The class of men to whom the warning is given have no respect for law, and only toe fear of the death penalty will restrain them from acts that might result to serious conse quences to the country. The New York Sun thinks General Weitzel would also do well to stop toe hob nobbing between his officers and those of toe Liberal forces of Mexico, which has hitherto been so conspicu ous. It is proper that the Liberals should be treated cordially, bu t there have been complaints from the Imperial aide to the effect that Liberal parties have frequently received covert aid from our soldiers. The aim of out Government should be to maintain a rigid neutrality, and to give neither of toe Mexican belliger ents any good ground for complaint. FOR SALE, AT THE LOWEST.
