The YOUNGEST GENERAL IN THE ARMY.-The
Cincinnati Enquirer, of the Sth ult., states that
COL g. w. Morgan has received the appointment
of Brigadier General in the Army. Col NJ, we
believe, commanded of the Ohio Regiments
in Mexico, and AT the :ime Of his appointment Mt as
Brigadier General, he was the youngest Colonel
in the Army, being just 81 years old. He is an
officer Of great intelligence, energy, and bravery
and, though young, has had considerable military
experience, having served through the Texian
campaigns when beard!ess youth and having
commanded regiment from the very commence
ment of the Mexican war, down to the battle of
Churubusco, where he received several wounds.
a THIEF IN Holy ORDERs.--The following
facts which we take from the N. Y. Tribune,
exhibits TO a satisfactory degree, the imprudence
of society in stepping beyond etiquet, in one case
more than another, and proves plainly that COM
smunity is much under the necessity of requiring
credentials from 'Preacher of the Gospel
from any else. If he is 4 bona fi1c minist er
and in good standing at home, he ought to be
able to show that fact; and if he respects the
community in which he appears, to preach and
each he should establish his respectablIity, before
ne presumes to approach the private circle, and
if he fails to do so, he is ignorant of the etiquet
of well regulated society, and therefore is unfit TO
mingle in it, and it is almost prima facea evidence
that he is not minister Of good standing. Or
on the other hand, ic he has it in his power to
show the fact Of his good standing, and presumes
10 approach the private circle, without doing so.
he shows 4 contempt for the community, and he
should be elected at once. All ministers are
gentlemen, and it is presumed they are acquainted
with The common eiquet of society, and nothing
but ACCIDENT will prevent them from conforming
10 it, but imposserS, cannot, and do not pretend
to make showing of their rcspccsabIity, there
fore all ministers, for the preservation of the
character of their high calling and 10 prevent an
imposition upon their religious brethren should
make ii a rule 10 produce e0idence Of Meir good
Standing ,chererer they 60.
'.LIst summer, an individual calling himself
Bennett, visited Mont gomery, Ala, as a Baptist
brethren, and spent some two months there, en-
joying the hosptaties of the members of the
church. Nay, he even proposed for the hand of
a most accomplished young lady, and received a
blushing acceplation and an early promise. He
was thought by some to be one of the most tai
ented, eloquent, pious and devoted of divines, and
consequently almost worshipped. Having
taken in some of the worthy brethren to the tune
Of 81 $50 or 5000 in the shape of loans, presents,
&C.. he concluded to decamp, and accordingly
left them, after adding to his previous exploits a
parting robbery the extent of some $500 more.
This of his detection is said TO have been
the observation among his congregation of an old
nccomplice whom he had wronged; and who, he
therefore expected would expose him. He bent
his way 10 New Orleans, where finding his hand
in again, he committed robbery, in which he
was detected, and which will now consign hin
for a respectable term of time TO the Louisiana
State Prison.
