The Executive departments. On Thursday last, it will be recollected, Mr. Johnson, of Arkansas, introduced into the Senate a bill to limit and defile the term of the Secretary, or the principal officers of each Executive Department. It provides that the term of office of the above named officers be the same as that of a member of the House of Representatives, and expire at the end of each session of Congress, but that the same officer or person may be renominated or appointed for a number of terms. We have rarely had the fortune to come across a more objectionable proposition. Mr. Johnson said, on submitting this bill, that its constitutionality was beyond question. We doubt it exceedingly. The Constitution divides the Government into three grand departments — Legislative, Judicial, and Executive. It confers upon each certain powers, necessary to the discharge of their several functions. It gives to the Executive the power of appointing the heads of departments, with th

On the happening of this important event, he resigned from the United States service, returned to Georgia, and was placed next in command to Gen Twiggs. Shortly afterwards he was appointed by President Davis senior Colonel in the regular service of the Confederacy, and placed in command at Fort Morgan, Georgia. He had not occupied this position many months when he was appointed Brigadier, and sent to Arkansas, where he organized the troops in that State. In October, 1861, he marched with the army he had organized to Bowling Green, and earned perennial laurels at Corinth, Shiloh and Farmington, when he was promoted to the rank of Major General. In October, 1861, he fought at Perryville with such distinguished valor that he was made a Lieutenant General. From this brief record of his services as a military man the public will be justified in placing the utmost confidence in the judgment, skill,
