the 15th ult. BUTLER. He is a thin black fellow, about five feet seven

inches high, and about 26 years of age, is remarkably civil when spoken to,

AND SPEAKS VERY GOOD ENGLISH; is something of a shoemaker; he has of late

threatened to go and see his mother, who belongs to the state of gen.

it is probable he is gone; he also has a wife in Charleston, who works at
