give place to the great white throne of
judgment. Then the thought that we
have lived in world once blessed by
Redeemer's presence, that we walked on
the earth once stained by his hallowed
blood, that we breathed the air once vo-
cal with his dying groans, and with the
sweet music of his invitations to the
guilty, will either thrill our spirits with
ineffable joy, or add the bitterest ingre-
dent to the cup of our neverending sor-
row. Which shall it be?
Ey~ On Tuesday last President Buell.
ANAN renominated to the Senate of the
United States the names of thirty
of the Naval officers dropped from the
service by the action Of the Retiring
Board. The Senate, on Wednesday last,
confirmed the entire list, in which is emu
braced the name of Captain u. f. JOHN
son, of this place.
II has been long time since we an
n9unced fact more gratifying to our
feelings than the restoration of this gen
tlcmanly and gallant officer to the SER
vice in which he has spent the best part
of his life, and which he has honored
by his skill and bravery. We could ne
yer understand how it happened that he
+ fell under the ban of his brother officers
constituting the Retiring Board it could
not possibly have been for the want of
efficiency, or a single qualification called
/ for by the service in which he was en-
gagged All who know him can testify
to his ardent patriotism, his sterling hon
or, his urbane department, and his daunt-
less bravery
While we congratulate the Captain
and his friends upon his restoration to
the Navy, we must be allowed to say
that the Government has, in his case,
done nothing more than an act of justice,
! by which it will be benefited more than
he, and furnishes an additional evidence
Of the sagacity of the distinguished states
man at the head of our affairs.
