We were honored with visit yesterday
from Lieut.. Marcus Moretti, an exiled Hun
garian, who bore conspicons and very
honorable part in the attempted revolution of
of 40. He visits our city with a view to
raising the means Of establishing himself in
some business in our country, which will
enable him to support large family who
share with him his exile from home This
course is forced upon him by his inability to
pursue laborious aovcations, on account OF
rheumatism. He pl esents the highest recon-
medations from the Mayors of Brooklyn and
Philadelphia, the Governor Of Delaware, the
physician of the Bellevue Hospital, where he
has been treated for the rheumatism, and
Others. The Lieutenant has all the frank
ness of manner of genuine Hungarian,
and is undoubtedly worthy OF the sympathy
and generous encouragement OF our peo-
pie Hartford Post.

DEATH OF GEN. G.. F. SMITH-The
army of the Union has met with great loss
in the death of Major General Charles F.
Smith, which occurred at Savannah, Tenn,
last week. The following is sketch of his
life
Gen. Smith was native of Pennsylva-
MIA. He entered the military academy as a
cadet in 1921, and graduated in 1925, stand
ing No. 10 in his class. On the 1st of July
of that year, he was made I'd Lieutenant
of the I'd artillery. In 1929 he was ap-
pointed the Assistant Instructor of Infantry
Tactics at the Military Academy, which
position he retained until September 1s3 81,
when be was promoted to the adjutancy, re-
tanning the same ofice till April 1888. Du-
ring that interval (viz. May 1882 he was
made 1st Lieutenant. On the 1st of April
1888, he was appointed Instructor in Infan-
try Tactics and Commandant of Cadets at
West Point, which position he filled until
September l., 1s42, in the meantime beifg
promoted to the eaptaincy, viz. July Z, 1888.
In April 1S47, ne was breveted Major for
gallant conduct in the battles of Palo Alto
and Resaca de Ia Palma, in Texas, his brevet
dating from May 9, lS46. In May 1s4S, he
received another brevet, being that of Lieut..
Colonel, for gallant conduct in several CO y
ficts at Monterey, Mexico, on the 2lst, 22d
and 2sd Of September, 1s47, his brevet bear
ing the last mentioned date. During the
following August he received further brevet
(ColoneD for gallant and meritorious con-
duct in the battles of Contreras and Cheru-
busco. This brevet dates from August 20,
1S47. He was appointed Acting Inspector
General in Mexico during June ls4s On
the 25th of November, 1854, be was pro-
noted to the majority Of the 1ss Artillery,

tuition of the United States, were secretly
plotting treason, and in secret conclave were
passing resolutions TO urge their several
States TO secede at once from the Union
" Gentlemen" who were placed in offices of
trust by the people, and then, betrayed the
confidence of the country, and robbed the
Treasury of the United States, and when
they left their places of emolument and trust,
LETT them only TO leave the country in ru.
inous condition. These are &" southern gen
tlemen."
But the case is now changed, They have
al last found out and acknowledge that they
have a valorous and determined foe against
which to contend. That Northerh troops do
"know the breech of a gun from its muzzle."
They have ascertained that they will fight an
enemy in open, manly combat "-1 hev
hare a chance--whcb bas hardly been the
case during the war,-except in a very few
instances. What troops is il hat have never
ventured outside Of their entertainments to
" meet the enemy in open, manly combat ?"
Let the late fight AZ Yorktown and that ar
Pea Ridge answer the question whether
Northern troops are " towards" and whether
they know the " breech of a musket from its
muzzle.'
We think Southern public opinion in re-
gard to the bravery of Northern men will
hereafter be changed. The good results of
the war will be many, and this will be one
prominent result. 1t will settle forever the
oft repeated assertion that Nothern men are
" cowards." Had not this been the case we
opine that thiswar would never have been
undertaken. The Southerners supposing
that the Northern part of this country would
not dare to " coerce - them into submission
attempted the unholy project of breaking up
the UnioD, but most wotully have they been
mistaken, We trust that the former accusa-
tons by Southerners of Northern cowardice
have received their quietus; and we think
we can safely say that fbe Southern portion
of this Union have asoertained and are fully
persuaded tha> the same spirit that animated
the hearts of the Revolutionary heroes still
lives, in the Northern portion at least, to con-
tend against treason and rebellion at the
present day. ea. ts.. -r .t.. .a

asi Pittsburg Landing, April 29.
There was heavy firing across Lick Creek
this morning, caused by artillery practice by
our advance guard, who after slight skir-
mishing, in which we captured several pris-
oners, occupied Pea Ridge at nine
o'clock. At twelve o'clock we occupied
Monterey, twelve or fourteen miles from
Corinth.
A very intelligent sailor OF Boston, who
deserted from the rebels this side of Corinth,
reports that the capture of New Orleans was
generally known in the rebel camps on the
morning OF the 9th.
He also states that on the 18th, the time of
two Louisiana regiments enlisted for twelve
months expired, but by the new consumption
law we're reqired to serve two years longer.
On being so informed both regiments laid
down their arms and refused to fight, when
Geh. Beauregard detailed four regiments to
guard them as prisoners
1t was not known that Gen. Halleck was
in command here, but the general impression
among the rebel troops was that Gen. Buell.

WHO SHALL BE SENATOR?

II is not-our desire to give prominence at
che present time to the discussion of the Sem
.,oral question. The unanimity with which
Mr.. FooT, the present incumbent has been
recommended for reelection by the Press
throughout, the State, may be said TO virtual.
" put the question at rest, and to render any
6rther discussion unnecessary,
We alude to the subject at the present
time, merely for the reason that eorrespon-
dem, of Walton'S Daily Journal has seen fit
to oppose the reelection of Senator FooT,
pnou the ground that he has held the office
long enough, and to recommend Hon. 10y
An C. KELLOGG of thistown as his success
.or. Under ordinary circumstances, and in
ordinary times,-On other words, were there
no peculiar reasons existing why the State
should return Mr.. Foot TO the Senate, ,)-the
succession of the name of Judge KELLOGG
I IN connection with that honorable and digni-
fed position would give US the greatest salts
Iacton, and command our heartiest support.
EHe is man every way fit to wear the robes
and to bear the dignities OF the Senatorial
|position. Judge KELLOGG is in the vigor
/ Eof mature manhood, lis endowed with rare
Gntellectual qualities,-and possesses a Judg-
Inent that scarcely ever fails, in any emergen-
|sy, to conduct 10 correct conclusions. With
banners simple and aitless, and habits as
pure as those of childhood itself with integ-
|rty that is unblemisied even by the suspic-
iOn of a stain,-and possessing comprehen-
|rye views, (the result of political study and
wide intercourse with public men, which en-
|nentIy beft the solid statesman, he would
Reflect credit upon Vermont in the United
States Senate, or in any other position TO
Which be might be elevated. -a
Bnt we have the best of authority for say
d. that Judge KELLOGG has heard his name
EDentioned in connection with the Senator
[aip with much regret. He would be ex'
FIedngly panied to believe that any one
|buld think he is engaged in any intrigue for
he office, or that he has any personal desire
In it. He does net desire to be considered a
candidate. We have no authority for an
|npuncing tn whose favor his preference runs,
In in his position it would not be expected
Etat be would be otherwise than reticent.-
M we were allowed to express an opinion, We
|Aould say that Judge KELLOGG, in common

|0tate, expects and desires the reelection o
|Senator FooT. But in stating this we speak
Wholly from conjecture. In regard to the

NATIONAL FREEDMAN'S RELIEF
ASSOCIATION OF THE DIS
TRICT OE COLUMBIA.

A new state of things exists in this
community, and important events seem to
be rapidly approaching. The blessings of
freedom are springing up in the path of a
war of rebellion and treason. The
contrabands in this District are already
numerous, and their numbers are con-
stantly increasing, as others come in from
the adjacent State of Virginia, some fee
ing from rebel masters to avoid being sent
farther south others escaping from the
want and privation now being so severely
felt in those portions of the country de-
vastated by the rebels themselves, or by
contending armies.
They are of both sexes and of all ages,
from the tender infant to men and women
grown grey and feeble in slavery. They
flee to this District in all the wretched-
ness and poverty incident to their former
condition as chattels, hungry and in rags,
their whole appearance piteously appeal
ing for succor. Ignorant of the world
long trained to concealment and decep.
tion, they are fearful of every white face
until assured of sympathy and kindness.
1t is work of true philanthropy and
christian benevolence to relieve the wants
and educate the minds of this people
children of that God who "hath made oi
one blood all nations of men," and fol-
this purpose this Association has been
formed. 1t proposes to act in harmony
with the Gov ycrnment of the United
States, but to do much which the Govern.
mcnt does not and cannot well undertake
viz /: to furnish them with clothing, tenn
poray homes and employment, to teach
them to read and write, to give them sucf
advice and counsel as they may need, ane
bring them under moral and religious in
| fluences. tf
To this end the Association solicit.
from the friends of this oppressed people
contributions of new clothing suitable fol
men and boys of this class calicoes
shirtings, fanhels, and garments for wo
men, girls, and infants money to aid il
carrying out the objects above set forth.

morning we were informed that rebels were
seen on the mountain east of us, Co II, to-

69th infantry, were sent in pursuit. We fol-
lowed the enemy around the mountain and
killed one picket. We proceeded up the

OUR VICTORIES IN EUROPE.

Mr.. Weeds last letter is under date of
Paris, April sth. He thus speaks of the
cheering effect abroad of our victories -
"The continued and gratifying successes
which reward the indomitable energy Of our
Army ana Navy, and that distinguishes the
unfinching courage of our Soldiers and Sail
ors, is exalting our country in the estimation
of Europe. Veteran officers in England and
France express their admiration of the steadi-
ness and persistence Of regiments which they
had looked upon as militia. The gallantry
of the troops under Burnside, and in Ken
lucky, Missouri, and Arkansas, is equal to
that of the best troops Of Napoleon or Well
ington. The war, therefore, which COM
menced SO disasterously, promises to estab-
lish for US, abroad, military renown as
enyiable as that which our Navy achieved in
the War of 1872"
