Gen. Hill.

The Cincinnati Press of the Goth, says;
"The ineficiency of Gen. Hill in allowing
the fragment Of the army defeated at Laurel
Hill to escape his hands, can be attributed to
nothing but cowardice. With a superior force
in good condition and anxious for fight, he
permitted an enemy 30 fahgued and dispirited
that II probably only wanted an invitation to
surrender, to pass within mile and half Of
his position, while by rapid countermarch, he
proceeded to make the distance greater as fast
as possible. This ought to bring the military
career of General Hill to close, and place him
at once upon the list of extinguished brigadiers
In Justice to Gen. Hill. however, 1t is proper to
say that those who knew him expected nothing
better, Destitute equally of military expert
ence and business capacity, be had no fitness
for the place; and his appointment is another
evidence Of the want of judgment in the Execu-
tive Of the State from whom be received his
commission, and of the unsafety Of placing i'm
portant trusts in hands so incompetent All
things considered il is well that it is no worse.
Had General Hill been placed where it was me-
cessary for him to command in battle, there Is
no telling the disasters that would have result.

Gen, HILL may as well consider himself dead.
Gen. GAMETT was killed with lead, but 1t
would appear that Gen. HILL is to be murdered
by degrees with paper balls. II the newspa'
pers keep on, they will have all the Generals
killed of before they meet the enemy. Gen
Cox may as well be getting ready-he is nexI
on the list. Kanawha may be his fatal spot

A correspondent of the Mobile NsiD', writing
from Richmond, June %, says:
Inclosed my last with promise to 60 10 Ma
nassas Junction this morning; and thither did
intend TO be on my winding way now, but Gen.
eral Beauregard has made q special request Of
the Governor, to whom application has to be
made for leave to quit the city, to allow no one
to pass to his camp. Hitherto gratitude for dis
tinguished services rendered to the country and
admiration for brilliant parts, have secured TO
General Beauregard universal popularityj but
we are inclined TO the opinion that he 10 run
ming things into the ground rather deeper than
Is absolutely necessary. We have furnished to
the President Of the Confederate States an army,
not OF serfs and vsgabonds, but the elite of a
land where wealth abounds. Suppose that the
Third Regiment of Alabama Volunteers were
to-day under Beauregard, aud that to morrow
he should meet the enemy, and 0 long, desperate
and bloody battle should be fought. There is
scarcely respectable family In Mobile who have
not at least one representative In that regiment,
and the anxiety with which they would be tor
tured until the details of the conflict reached
them would beggar description. Anticipating
the possibility Of such events In other quarters,
you have, responsive to the elaine, wishes and
expectations Of your patrons, secured corres-
pondent to be present to advise you Of every
fact that may occur that could interest your
readers. Ii, however, General Beauregard's
example is to be initiated, your people are des-
tined to suffer the worst penalties OF suspense,
and thousands of young men, who could have q
mother or a sister at their bedsides, to dress
their wounds and nurse them, will be liable to
be thrown into hospital, and many long and
weary hours and days may elapse before u can
be known what has been their late, and this 70
neither consonant with dictates Of common
sense nor the laws Of humanity.

Sir. am opposed to this mode Of taxing tea

LAST DAYS OF AN OLD HERo.-I yesterday
visited, in the double capacity of phyFician
and magistrate, the venerable Jared Fer
rand, OF Middlebury, Revolutionary hero
well known in this county. visited him
as a physician to prescribe for his bodily in
irmities, and as a magistrate TO make out
his pension papers. On the whole, the cir
cumstance with the attendant thoughts and
reflections was ore worthy of remembrance
have known this venerable hero, and
been his family physician over thirteen
years. l have known him in sickness and
health, and during all this time. and amid
varied scenes and circumstances, have not
known him otherwise than a meek and pa
tient parent, neighbor, friend, patriot and
Christian. Never in single instance have
known or heard of him giving way to COM
planning, repining, impatience OK fretful-
ness, which is more than l can say Of any
other man of my acquaintance for a similar
time.
Always when in the presence of this old
Christian, soldier, hero, friend, have felt
my littleness as if in the presence of a su-
periOr being.
Yesterday the old man was, as ever, cheer
full aud patient, though feeble and suffering
with inflammation Of the eyes. He can see
but little, and his hearing is quite dull His
memory is now fast growing treacherous,
that is of passing events, but the scenes Of
the Revolution are as vividly depicted on
the tablet of memory as they were eighty
years ago. He will go to sleep in q few
weeks or months at farthest. I prObably
made out his last pension papers.
The Pension Department has issued 6
blank oath of allegiance, since ths rebellion
which all pensioners are required to sub.
scribe to. I asked the old gentleman if ht
was willing to swear allegiance to the United
States. ayes, Sir" he said with emphasis
"I have done it once, and shall be happy t,
do it again" The oath was administered
and the papers prepared for his signature
he said he could sign the papers if his eye
were not sore. He held my hand while
wrote his name.
told him was going into the army, ant
was awaiting my orders daily; he said
jovially, 81 trust, then, you will not get she
in the back" When arose to go and too
his hand, as it seemed, very probably, 70
the last time, he grasped my hand ferventl
and said, May God prosper and bless you

a number of equally reputable characters
with herself. scandalized at such pro-
eseding, some young men who gathered in
the neighborhood took it into their head;
that some portion of the sin of the affail
might be washed away by a suitable appli-
cation of the City water privileges, and
accordingly, procuring hose, attached then
to hydrant, and turning the nozzle toward
the mansion in question, let hy.
The effect was immediate. In went tn,

EE. LEADER:-The Hitchcock Guards, Of
Geauga, desire through your columns to ex-
press theio sincere and hearty thanks to the
citizens of Newburgh and Russell for fine
picnic dinner furnished to-day. Our rstions
are good, but meal with the tables ladened
with baked and roast, chicken pie, roast pig,
and their accompaniments, and topped of
with cakes end pies, and above all passed to
us by the fair hands that prepared them,
formed an episode in camp life not soon to
be forgotten. The boys gave evidence Of
their appreciation by the way in which they
disposed of the visnds set before them, and
fully demonstrated their ability to charge
and surround rations, yet owing to the guam
tity, were obliged to retire from the scene oi
action without "cleaning out" the commits
sary department. Several cheeses and sun
dry crooks of butter remain untouched, and
of the fragments there were several baskets
full. A few remarks by Capt. Tolles ant
Sergeant Ford made slight expression o
our gratitude. A vote of thanks to the do
ners was unanimously passed and confirmed
with a round of cheers that made the olC
camp ri,lg. Heaven bless the friends VI
have left-make US worthy to represent sucl
riends upon the geld, and crown our effort

rope.
This meeting Of the Board in our city will
bring together many of the first men and
dignitaries Of the Church and State with
missionaries from foreign lands, and the
anniversary of no religious body calls TO-
gether such an amount Of talent and piety
