THE civil war ia driving immense number. of

FA1nER Iacordaire, the most eloquent
preacher in France, is dead. lie commenced
hie as a lawyer, and in 1881 was tried for his
political opinions, but conducted his own de-
fence with such signal ability that he was Ao-
quilted. lie afterwards entered the church, and
became the most famous preacher since the days
# BOssuut and MasillOn. lie was member of
the Constituent Assembly in 1913, and was
lately appointed member Of the Royal Acade-
NY, when he delivered u brilliant eulogum On
American institutions. He was possessed Of re-
markalle genius, and throughout his life was q
consistent friend of liberty
A CoRREsroNDESr writing from Port
Royal, on board the United States ship Moho-
l7n, relates the following: ~ will give an in

VERY sCandaous reports, says the Boston
,sr, are rife concerning Colonel Scott nephew
and secre. .afy OF the old General. Ii is boldly
,erted that he is the traitor who has done SO
o. uch mischief by revealing cabinet secrets and
t'c plans OF tho Commander.in-Chief to tho
uemy. The fnluro Of the scheme against tho
bel camp at Munson's Hill, which was known
only to Gen. Scott Gen. Mcclellan and Col.
Scott, is attributed TO the latter II is intimated
that the suspicious against Col. Scott were 50
strong that his friends advised him to quit tho
country and that this had something to do
with the sudden resignation Of Gen. Scott and
his departure with his nephew for Europe. It
l. probable that these rumOrs and suspicioaA
have been eNaggeIa.ed.
THR Washington correspondent of the Phil
adclphia PRRss gives some figures that show
the Suffers derive an immense profit at the ex-
p nse Of the soldiers. 4 Suter is appointed by
the colonel of every regiment and each soldier
is taxed ten cents a month for some reason not
stated. Allowing COO men TO a regiment, and
estimating that the soldiers purchase at the low
average Of IS per month, the Suffers receipts
would amount to 90 900. His profits are at
least cent per cent, which would enable him to
pocket q 300 per month 1hree-iourths Of tho
