plicity and justice, and injurious to the public service, because the same man cannot discharge with efficiency the duties of two, three, or four different offices — of offices, too, which require essentially different qualifications, and even if the incumbent has time and talent enough, would require him to be in three or four different places at the same moment. There are some men who, putting the deficiency of ubiquity out of the question, are able to shine in both the camp and council. Julius CÆsar, Napoleon Bonaparte, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, were statesmen as well as soldiers; but we may be pardoned for doubting whether they have their counterpart in modern times. Instead of enacting the part in history of either of those great personages, or, indeed, suggesting to the liveliest imagination the faintest resemblance to them, the only image that our pluralists bring before the mind is one which presents the Commonwealth in a more ludicrous condition than that of a

he shameless display of selfishness and greed at a time like this, when the great mass of the people are making the grandest sacrifices ever recorded in history. Worst of all, most brazen and infamous of all, is the ravenous pertina city of old Lincoln office-holders, office seekers, and office-expectants, of men who stood by the flag of Lincoln till he himself booted them into resistance, now endeavoring to assuage their disappointed appetites by jumping and snapping at everything in the shapime like this, when the great mass of the people are making the grandest sacrifices ever recorded in history.

ne patriots, whose master passion is country, not self; worthy sons, brothers, and husbands of the truest and bravest women in the world, worthy to lay the foundations of the best and grandest Government in all the earth. We do not wish to be misunderstood. We detest and abhor the radicalism and red republicanism that has just shown us in the old United States how close akin they are to the most detestable Despotism. We trust that this new Government of ours will be a genuine representative Republic, not a Democracy; and no better model for each State in it could be found than the old Constitution of Virginia. This thing of letting everybody vote for everything is the source of all our present woes. Especially in the army must the gradations of rank be distinct and well defined, and the power of authority be supreme. We do not even advocate a very material increase of the pay of the private soldiers, for that would involve an expense which the country could not sustain, and,

McClellan (search for this): article 1
ore the battle, the Washington Star said, "we are in expectation of hearing that the disunion troops will all drop out of Leesburg and that vicinity, so soon as McClellan may advance any portion of his force a mile further than his present position. Any such advance on McClellan's part will make it necessary for Johnston to evacuMcClellan's part will make it necessary for Johnston to evacuate Leesburg in double-quick time." Well the advance was made--more than a mile in front was passed over from one portion of McClellan's position — and our troops did drop out of Leesburg. But it was such a drop as a panther makes when a deer comes under the tree in whose boughs he is crouching. It was a spring upon the enMcClellan's position — and our troops did drop out of Leesburg. But it was such a drop as a panther makes when a deer comes under the tree in whose boughs he is crouching. It was a spring upon the enemy, altogether a different kind of dropping from any they had anticipated. We should be glad to know how the Star likes this kind of dropping. The day on which this battle was fought had already become immortal in history. It was the anniversary of the battle of Trafal gar, (21st of October,) the most memorable sea-fight of

egate of killed, wounded and drowned — Even the last circumstance of decided defeat did not fail — the capture of a largely proportionate number of the enemy's guns. It is wrong to exult over the death of any man. It is appointed to all men to die, and we must all make up our minds to meet the inevitable hour. But we cannot resist the impression that there was something very much like the retribution which awaits all men, either on this side of the grave or the other, in the death of Col. Baker. He was an Englishman by birth, but had been in the United States many years. He had fought bravely in Mexico, us his countrymen, with very few exceptions' have always done, wherever they have served. In the last Congress he made the most violent speech that was made, even in that assembly of blood-hounds. He was in favor of making Lincoln a Dictator, as if he were not already one. He wished him to have the name as well as the substance of power. He was not content with his being mere

The day on which this battle was fought had already become immortal in history. It was the anniversary of the battle of Trafal gar, (21st of October,) the most memorable sea-fight of modern times, that of Lepanto alone excepted. General Evans has given it an additional claim to be remembered. His achievement, though on a smaller scale, may rank with Cressy and Agincourt. The odds against which the two great English monarchs contended on those memorable occasions, were not so great as the odds against which Evans had to contend on Monday last. Nor was the victory of the latter less decided. He seems to have routed the enemy entire
