Brig. Gen. Pierce has gone With the assa-
chusetts Fourth went he, to-day. His career has
been briSf and inglorious, and yet he has done
the country some service, by demonstrating how
fata It w.s 20 appoint militia men to lead On ar

was worth all it cost, dear as it was. Massachu-

Speaking of the Bethel expedition, a Court Of
inquiry on the collision in the morning between
Vol. bendixs and Col. Townse 1d's regiments ad-
Journed yesterday. The testimony went to show
that Col. Bendix was ordered to move to the noint
wnere the collision occurred and "hold il eainst

friendly force might pass there that precau ions
We're net taken, such ss have been alleged were

vas In the grey OF the morning when Town.end's
neg ment, In pursuance of orders, reached the
point, hall an hour after bendix's was stationed
there; and that consequently The coils was a
necessary result. 1t mattered little who fired
first. In effect, Col. Bendix's orders were to FIRE
on ''al comers." He obeyed, and whatever bla ne
there Is In the case falls not on him. This brief
inquiry goes Tar to settle how sy. tematically the
expedition was b0ggled from its inception. Il
might have been redeemed, however, by a eom
Dander OF even moderate amount of capac,,y.
Large as our force was, aud small as was that OF
tne Ins enemy, had there been suitable plan and
with such plan, if plan it be called and
such commander, success was out OF tne ques-
ton, and failure certain. But for this disaster,
the column of Gen. Rutler would be {, dav, and
weeks ago would have been, nearest to Richmond.
With this fact patent 70 the whole country, Pierce
goes home. There doubtless is room on the same
snip for more.

GU1ZOr'b OPINION OF PUBLIC

In the third volume of his Memoirs,
Just published, the last Prime Minister
of Louis Philippe, after sketching the
history of his Ministry Of Public In
structisn, and various other topics OF
great interest, writes thus charmingly
about himself: . . sE
IL have no desire to intrule my
private life and feelings on public at
tentlon. The more they arc profound
and tender, the less arc they dispossd
to exhibit themselves, for 1 cannot
show them in their intense reality
Kings exhibit their crown jewels to
the inspection of the curious; bnt We
do not parade ottr private treasures,
the value of which is only known to
the owner. Yet, when the fatal day
arrives in which these invaluable
possessions are wrcstcd from Us, it
would be ovincing towards them a
proper want of respect anu faith moi,
TO declare the esteem in which they
were held and the void they have left.

litical life, and have applied myself to
it with ardor. ! have devoted to pub
lie duties, without hesitation, the sac
riticc and efforts they demanded from
me; but the pursuits h~+e ever been
far indeed from satisfying my desires.
1t is not that I complain Of tho Incl.
DENTAL trials. Many public servants
have spoken with bitterness of the dis
appointments they have experienced,
the reverscs they have undergone,

the kind 10 say, for / have never
acknowledged such sentiments. How.
ever violently may have been s,rick.

blind or ungrateful, or my political des.
tries more harsh, than I expected
1t has had alternately, aud in great
abundance, its joys and sorrows; such
is the law Of humanity. But it has
been in the happiest days, and in the

of my career, that / have found the
