GEN. WoerH.-The Washington correspon.
dent of the New-York Herald writes -
A report is now prevalent, doubtless not with
out foundation, that Gen. Worth has protested
against serving as the subordinate of Generals
Pillow and Quitman, or being in any wise sub
ject TO them. II is humiialing to reflect that
there should exist necessity for such pro-
leS-that a veteran officer like Gen. Worth
should be brought into collision with man
of yesterday, like Gen. Pilow-that services
in the battlefield and in the camp should be for
a moment weighed in the scale with services
on the stump. No man in the army has earn
ed more brilliant reputation for gallantry
and good conduct than General Worth and
it must have been extremely Notifying to him
to contemplate even the possibility OF being
compelled to serve as the subordinate of man
whose whole military career extends but over
the period of twelve months, and also during
that time, has earned but a very questionable
distinction. The impoicy of making high
military appointments because of political SER
vices, has been the Presidents besetting sin,
and has materially damaged the character Of
his administration.

In the most fortunate event, the trumphs
Of the battlefield are truly deplorable. A
French lady once said TO the Duke Of Wei.

il to be the most deplorable catastrophe that

The experience of one man, who had been
witness to so much bloodshed, is worth all

reason, plunges o people into this fearful

! The Redwood Library is the most venerable,
and in some respects the most valuable literary
institution, which has come down 10 US from
the early Colonial times, when Newport was
rapidly approaching that zenith of prosperity
to which in less than generation she after
war6s attained. The Library, as it is well
known, originated in Society Of gentlemen
who met in Newport for literary and philosoph
ical discussions as early as the year l73O. 1t
embrsced some OF the most able and prominent
men of the town and Colony, and could num-
ber among its associates the celebrated GEORGE
BERKELEY, afterwards Bishop of Cloyne, then a
nevolent but chimercal hope of founding that
ST. Paul's College, which his active magina-
ton had projected tor the christianizing and
better education of our Indian youth. On the
return of Berkeley to Europe, which took place
on his presentation 10 the see of Cloyne, the
society continued its activity; and, in l747. by
the lberalily of ABRAHAM REDWOOD, a citizen
of Newport, but native of Antigua and by mu-I
of other citizens of the town, an Institution was
established, which, in honor Of its principa
benefacior, took the name of the REDWOOD Ii.
BRARy COMPANY. Mr.. Redwood gave f5OO|
sterling for the purchase of standard books in
London, and other citizens subscribed E5OOO
for the erection of the Library Building
HENRY COLLINS, Esq, a native of Newport,

Green, on which the present much admired
Library edifce stands.

For the foregoing facts we are indebted to the

next, so many of the features of our Colonia
condition in his sketch of The rise and progress
of this venerable Institution, which was its
chief ornament, and is now, certainly 1.-THE. best
surviving index and exponent of those remark
able times.
We are gra,ifed, that the Directors took
early and efficient steps to secure proper cele.
bralion of the present anniversary Of its esab.
'ishment by charter, by so fortunate a choice of
an Orator as they found in the President of the
Company; and have no doubt that the select
and intelligent audience, which the occasion
will assemble, will derive unmingled graliica-
ton from the facts stated in illustration of this
portion of our history, as they most certainly
will from the manner of their being presented.
