wards, by the "eternal fitness of things,
President of the immortal "Peace Con-
gress," died at Richmond, Va, on Fri
day night last. The land of secessia is

Good for Stanton.
E. NJ. Stanton, the new Secretary of
War, has iss,1ad a general order, COM
plimenting the officers and soldiers for
their gallant conduct at the battle OF
Mill Springs, in Ky. In this order he
says: "The purpose Of this scar as to al
tack, pursue and destroy the rebell'o~s en-
en,y, and to deliver the country from the
da,.qer nsenaced By traitors. Atacr'ty,
daring, courageous spirit and patriotic
zeal ON all occasions, and as'sder every CIR
cun,stance, are crpected from the army OF
I the Unitcd States. We are afraid that
sentence will lose him the good will OF
the conservatives Especially as he
does not include the catching of negroes
in the duties of United States soldier.
In fact, we fear the new Secretary is but
little better than radical.
Send Them Along.
The law of Congress authorizing
Chaplains in the army, requires that
they be ministers in good standing In
some Christian Church. This excludes
the Rabies of the Hebrew faith. The
exclusion was probably an oversight
AS there are many of that faith in the
Union armies it is no more than is due
to their loyalty and ancient customs to
permit them, when it is the wish of a
Regiment, to have Chaplain of theil
own faith. Petitions are being sent to
Congress, asking such a modification Of
the law.
