Quite naturally, the spectacular figure of Benjamin F. Butler, the politico-mili- tary self-seeker whose acrobatic per- formances edified the American public during more than forty years, appears and reappears in Hay's journal. Hav- ing secured a commission as brigadier- general, he led the Eighth Massachusetts to Washington. 100 HARPER'S MONTHLY MAGAZINE On being stopped by the mob in Balti- more at the outset of the war, he lost no time in making his presence known. On April 25, 1 861, Hay wr...ites: "Gen- eral Butler has sent an imploring re- quest to the President to be allowed to bag the whole nest of traitorous Mary- land legislators and bring them in tri- umph here. This the Tycoon, wishing to observe every comity, even with a recusant State, forbade." A few months later, on November 8th, Hay copies into his diary "a cheeky letter just received" by the President. It reads as follows: My dear Sir, — Gen'l Wool has resigned. Gen'l Fremont must. Gen'l Scott has re- tired. I have an ambition, and I trust a laudable one, to be Major-General of the United States Army.
