GEN. GARNEFT.--There seems to- be, now, no
doubt Of the death Of Gen. Robert s. Garrett.
Later intelligence is eonfirmatory of the first re-
port, though we have the satisfaction of knowing
that the reverse we suffered was not so disastrous
as at first published. 2 Ia s;sls
Gen. Garrett was a native of Essex county,
Virginia. and comes of a family the members of
which have always been noted for their character,
position, and intelligence. He was near relative
of Senator Hunter and of the Hon. III. r. Fl. Gar
nett. His father was member of Congress for
several years, and was closely allied to the Mer-
GERS, the aliaferos and ether prominent families
of Eastern Virginia. Educated at West Point, he
soon exhibited such high soldierly qualities as to
attract the attention Of Gen. Taylor whose Aid he
was during the brilliant campaign in Mexico A
year or two ago he was sent to Europe on some
military business for the Government. When
Virginia seeeeded he promptly resigned from the
Federal Army, and was putin command of d posi-
ton probably the most dangerous and indefensible
Of any inthe State. His force was greatly inferior
to that of the enemy, and his men were fresh re-
erpits, hastily gathered together. In addition, he
was opposed by a General, tMeGlellan) said to be
the best commander strategist in the Abolition
army. G
As We uhuerstahd IL, lhs was announcer case OF
surprise The enemy fell upon Garnett's rear
ranks and did all the mischief before our men
could be put in position for successful resistance
This is the third or fourth time we have been sur
prised, and it argues lack Of prudence, not of
braVery,in our military leaders. They ought to
remember what an insidious, sneaking foe they
have to deal with, and act accordingly. The les.
son has, however, cost Us dearly in the loss of
such foe officer and gallant gentleman asRobert

Apart from the confidence inspired by our
conviction Of the justice of cur cause, We are
strengthened and comforted in our hopes Of
glorious issue to the contest now pending, in be-
half of reason warning with prejudice. of truth with
error, Of liberty with despotism by the reflection
that the spirits Of those patriots who hallowed the
revolutionary struggle of '76 are enlisted in our
cause, and in the persons of have
their representatives in the rank and file of our
forces now In the field. We have scanned the
names, ana have carefully searched into the his
tory of the leaders of the Federal forces but have
been able to trace no descendant or connection on
their part with the men Of the North who figured
in the Colonial revolution. We doubt even if their
chieftain, General Scott, though born and raised
on the soil of the Old Dominion, canread his title
clear to any claim of ancestry connected with that
glorious epoch and it is not unreasonable to con-
clude, on the faith of his treason to his native
State that no revolutionary blood is to be found in
his veins. On the side Of the South many of the
very names which adorn the pages of our revo.
lutionary history are now conspicuous in the con-
test In the gallant and accomplished Major
General Lee, we have a son of Light Horse Harry

euvered the howitzers on that occasion, is grand
son of Jefferson, the immortal author of the
| Declaration of Independence and Capt Brown,

/ dolph, is a grandson of a gallant soldier who
/ carried to his grave bullet from the field Of Guild

served under Lee in his legion. Floyd, whois now
on the march with his brigade to meet the foe is
OF revolutionary stock, descended from the Pres
| tons and the Lewises. Gov. Winston, now in the
field with his regiment from Alabama, is grand
son Of Patrick Henry = and Hampton, en- route
with splendid legion equipped at his personal ex-
pense, is a grand son of Made Hampton, of fevo-
lutionaTy fame. We could swell the list, if we had
time and space to search the rolls of our noble
volunteers,sto an extent which would amaze our
readers. until they reflected that in the gratifying
fact to which we hare referred, we are furnished
with another and powerful illustration of the bles-
sings which flow from the institution of slavery,
through the permanence which marks the abodes
and families of Shareholders, the stability which
attachesto all connected with The institution, and
the heightened and ehivalfoss natures which are
nurtnred under its auspices.

The privilege of furnishing a force for
the occupation of Fort Randall should be
accorded to the citizens of the Territory
IN which the Fort is situated. The COM
panies now being raised in Dakota for this
purpose can be mustered into service
without delay, thus relieving the regular
soldiers now stationed there, and enabling
them to leave Immediately for the seat of
war, where their experience and skill as
artillerymen will be of some avail. The
companies which the Governor OF this
State has been directed to cause to be
raised for service at Fort Randall can be
assigned some other field. leaving the hon.

Freedom Of the Press.

The Chicago Tribune, the leading Re.
publican paper in Illinois, having been
taken to task by the Springfield Journal
for its structures upon the President and
Cabinet, thus responds:
"The Journal cant understand how we
should venture to differ from the National
Administration, without intending to jeo-
pardize the loyal cause and break down
tue Government. 1t evidently thinks that
We ought to endorse and applaud what We
deem to be not only wrong in principle,
ut dangerous to the cause Of the country
we love. We have never learned that
theory, either as journalists or patriots
We believe that he who labors to change
fatal policy, either through the Execu.
tive or Congress, or the people, occupies
= higher and nobler position than he who
applauds everything that comes from

pausing to judge whether it be good, bad
or Indifferent. That such independence
should seem scandalous to the State Jour.
nal does not surprise us, however"

that without resort to drafting. In add,-

John C. Brec kinrbdge.

The Chicago Times says John c. Brock
Doubtless he has gone South to join in
the fight against Kentucky. He is one of
those who have insisted that every State
has the right to determine its own destiny
and that it is the duty of every citizen to
adhere to his State. His practice is a
beautiful commentary upon his preaching.
Kentucky has determined that her destiny
shall be with the Union, whereupon John
G. Brecknridge takes up arms to reduce
her to province of the pseudo Confeder
ate States. This is about the end We have
thought he would come to ever since he
lent himself to the conspirators at Balti
more in June, 1860.

J. W. Packard, needle manufacturer

following facts. showing the actual condi,

He says that there are now about forty
thousand Confederate soldiers in Rich
mond, fully two-thirds of whom are suffer.
ing from measles, small pox and fevers
incident to camp life. The troops are
poorly clad having no coats and but few
shoes There is but one regiment in The
city that has full supply OF blankets, and
they are poor quality.
Flour and cora meal tiev are well sup.
piled with, they have no hams nor shout.

bacon, which sells at from thirty to forty
cents pr pound Sugar sells at from
twenty-five to forty hre cents per pound ;

Coffee from forty to fifty cents but butter
is luxury only dreamed Of.
The soldiers are paid off in Confederate
currency. aud the greatest dissatisfaction
is manifested at it. No one will take it
but Mt a heavy discount, and the ,ss falls
heavily upon the men, who have to pur-
chase almost everything they need. They
are cousoled, however, by tie daily prom.

not in defensive condition earthworks
have been thrown up and platforms laid,
but no guns have yet been mounted. In
fact, there are none to moant, from the
lack OF the proper kind of atarial to

can only, on this account, turn out one

A New AND TERRIBLE MIssILE-A ter.
rible missile has recently been brought
to the notice of the government by an in.
ventor in New York 1t is species of
hand grenada, one, two, three, and Eve
pound, that explode with the most deadly
effects when thrown or dropped even the
short distance of three or four feet. and
are equally sure of exploding when thrown
upon feather bed, a pool of water, or
against hard substance. Yet they can
be transported or carried with perfect safety.
A simple contrlvancs is attached to it,
which is adjusted easily and very quickly
just before throwing it, which is certain
to fire charge as soon as the shell strikes.
The government has given large orders for
these missiles and Gen. Mcclellan has, ere
this distributed them. A small company
armed with this terrible thing, i, is thought,
could perfectly resist a quadruple number
Of cavalry.
