CAUSE OF THE RESIGNATION OF GENERAL
HIrcHcocK-We have already announced
the resignation of this distinguished officer.
The Springfield Republican explains the rea-
son of his resignation. 1t seems that he was
the officer to whom Gen. Scott gave tempo
rary leave of absence, short time ago. and
respecting whom the correspondence took
place between the General and the Secretary
of War, at the time publicly referred to-
The Secretary of War ordered the officer
back to his post. The result is thus described
by the Republicans:
"That officer who was Brevet Brig. Gen.
Ethan A. Hitchcock, Colonel of the second
regiment of Infantry, had too much spirit to
brook SO manifest an indignity offered to him
self and his commander-in-chief, and threw
up bis commission in disgust"
EE 1t is stated THAI Of the ten thousand
dollars paid to the I1sans at La Pointe,
Wisconsin, hardly dollar was carried away
bv them-all was lost in gambling.

calculation, we nave invested FIVE more

600 lbs. North America alone pro-

600 lbs. The consumption Of this mass
of vegetable material would yield
about $40, 100000 lbs., of carbonic
acid gas, SO that the yearly increase,
Of Gearbonic acid gas from tobacco
smoke alone cannot be less than ,O00-
100000 lbs, large contribution to
the annual demand for this gas made
upon the atmosphere for vegetation Of
the world. Henceforth let no one
twit the smoker with idleness and
unimportance. Every pipe is an agri-
culture furnace-every smoker mana

monies. The Capt. Of vessels, Of var
ious nations in port, lowered their
flags; but Gen. Gadsden, American
Minister, would not permit the flag Of

ties, both Of the parish Of East Fell

causing his death in about twenty

which caused the ARRAY arose from

There are many other smaller organi-

One more should be added to the
list. as it is decidedly the largest' and
most respectable party of them all.
1t is essentially the conservative fu-
sion. f" It takes in the best men the
purest, the most patriotic and unites
them in solid phalanx band Of

the quarter or the half. No. 1t is

a seminal at the door of the Public

the enemy without, they poupce upon

this, if its members would not quarre!

would be party based upon princi-
pie; uniting all the good features of
The Know Nothings, Do Nothings,
Say Nothings, aud the Pay Nothings.
Even the undefiled Democracy might
stand together in the ranks of such
party; and the firm of "Pierce Il

divided against itself.

II the Country Safe :

The local itemizer Of the Advocate

many Things about Town. asks
the above question, in the other days
edition, and answers it in the most fe-
licitous manner. As far as this re-
markable contre Of visible creation is
concerned, the author Of Things"
concludes that there is no real danger
nothing even to alarm the elderly
ladies and nervous spinsters in the
prime of life and therefore, no imme-
date necessity for prayers. This is
comfortable intelligence. The Advo-
cate concludes to stand committed on
this score from the fact, that on the
night Of the 9th Of June. 1855, there
was an explosion in the Red Stick
Council Of Know Nothings, and the
withdrawal Of seventeen members "iu
the highest imaginable dudgeon. -
The following very beautiful piece Of
blank verse, from the gentleman who
made the discovery and proclaimed it
to the world, strikes US:

hour in the market.place. on the streets

1t is. When a body Of such men, as
they most certainly are, come out from
such body Of midnight "ousel owls"
and stan1on virtue, sir, for virtues
sake; you may safely conclude the
country is safe.
If Know Nothings do not luxuriate

ciety, which long since divided against
itself and has fallen. The time was,
when the ladies could manage to get
up bombazine banner for a public
demonstration; but now, alas! no
thing-positively nothing can be done.
The fact is, we Gre now in state Of
suspended animation, kind Of crysi-
lis state, neither town nor city; and
when the shell does burst, the world
may look out for something in the
way Of a city surprising all that the
fondest imagination ever dreampt Of.
It is very evident that nothing is to
be done in town. Our programme
for public procession does not seem
to suit, for the reason that it did not
eminate from the right source. 1t
matters not; for when t'we,e done,
t'would be forgotten the next day.
As far Is we are concerned. we
think the whole city press gang should
keep the day which said in the clear
voice Of liberty, "any mau may make
an ass Of himself, by printing a news
paper or otherwise for this is the land
Of freedom" We say the press gang
should at least keep the day, we are
in favor Of no paper on the fifth.
We should like to shake hands with
all "hands round" Of the fraternity on
the 4th-berry past differences in cal
umet Of peace, and make preparations
to disagree and quarrel upon better
principles for another season. Any
shady place in the country will do us
for such . meeting, and if the spot is
named, we shall "order out" some
thing to keep away evil spirits.
