Recently private in the Army Of the
Potomac suffered an ignominious death for
having taken the life Of an officer who sub
jected him TO the indignity OF blow. Mil
itary discipline required that the soldiers
life should pay the forfeit; but should it not
also rigid1y check, and that, too, by stringent
penalty, the growing evil Of brutality
of officers. The ineffable meanness of
some of these unworthy wearers Of ahou1-
der straps deserves ignominious punish
ment. In another column We give state
ment Of the inhu1nan barbarity Of Col.
Hazard, Of the S7th Indiana, graduate
Of West Point, and State Senator. The
account penned by the Chaplain Of
the regiment reads like q tale Of
some pizate captain, and our own
brave and generous Turchin rides
into the sketch quite after the manner Of
the good deliverers Of yore. Col. Geo n.
Hazard deserves to be made an example
Of He should be cashiered and disgraced,
and the List Of deserved punishments, thus
begun, should be kept open as a warning
10 brutal officers of au degrees.

@ Yesterday, the House was occupied
in The consideration Of Ar. Colfaxes bill for
the abolition Of the hanking privilege. 4
bill for this purpose has on several occa-
aions passed the Senate, but has never be-
fore received favorable action by the Post
Office Committee Of the House. 1t Is en-
couraging that it now comes in nreported by
a nearly unanimous committee. The bill
will become Law, as it should. Another
needed reform is an equalization Of mail
rates upon printed matter, in which At
present many Objectionable features exist.

From the London papers received By the
Asia, we CLEAN further particulars in reference
to the death Of Prince Albert. His Illness
arose from his sleeping In q damp room On his
recent visit to the Prince Of Wales, at CAM
bridge, which was afterwards increased BY at
tending arcriew Of the Eton Volunteers, #hen
he said that he felt as If cold water had been
poured down his back. The Record, In allud-
ipg TO the last hours Of the Prince, says:
"Unhappily his Royal Highness was a7erse
to medicine, and, even after the character Of
the fever had declared itself, he objected to
all active remedies, and especially to his
being confined to recumbcnt posture:
about the apartments which he occupied,
until Friday when his state, which even on
Monday and Tuesday Was critical, had become
nearly hopeless. His Royal Highncss himself
had presentiment that the Illness would be
fatnl from the tine he heard Of the Nature Of
the fever, which was the SAME as that which
carried of the King Of Portugal; but It was
not till after her Majcsty's return from her
drive On Friday that she realized the danger,
and for twelve successive hours she watched
over the Prince With aHectlOnate sollcltude,
and without intermisslon-
Last year an inc1pieut attack Of the same
kind had been warded of BY the prompt
measures resorted to by the lamented DR..
Baly, who was able to overcome the Princes
| repugnaDce to active medicine On the pres
| ent occasion, We hear that this repugnancc
vas not to be overcome, and therefore that
the Court Physicians cannot, at all events. DC
blamed for active treatment His Royal High.
ncss was conscious almost to the last, but oc'
casiollally wandered, and In his dellriun hit
thoughts seemed to be occupied about tue
Prince Of Wales.

The Damage Done to the United States
By a Foolish General.

We find the following in the Cincinnati En-
qu3Ter. It terms it the damage done to the
Union by foolish Abolition General:
"Jef. Davls's agents at Havana are adroitly
uslng General Phelps {shipI IsL,nd) proc1amn-
ton to create the impression with the Span
iards that, if the Federal army subjugates the
rebels. Mr.. Lincoln will turn his army and
rasy against slavery and the Roman Catholic
religion in the island OF Cuba All grand
public reception Of the Spanish General PHm,
at Havana, while en- route for Mexico, the rebel
flag was, in the presence Of high official digni-
taries, lovingly sandWichcd In. between the
English Union Jack and the French Tri-color,
the Stars and Stripes being left out in the
cold"
It is al well enough to find fault with Gen.
Phelps. We did not adm itc his proclamation,
but as between his and Sherman's there is not
farthing to choose. The damage done to
the United+States by "foo1ish Generals shows
L large balance against commanders who
have bowed the knee to the Great Dagon
Of Secessia; who for fear slavery should be
harmed, hare not moved ut all, prcferring the
Union should he cared for, after slavery vas
safe. But the sole "AboHtion'' exception is
thc ouly one that Northern Bympathizers with
slavery care to notice.

THE CONTENTION

Our report Of yesterdays proceedings
gives an assurance that moderation and
fairness have thus far characterized the
leaders Of the Constitutional Convention,
who have made the days work happy in
its augury Of the future, by adopting q
resolution to submit to the people the Con-
stitution they shall frame. We chronicle
these tokens as gladly as we shall unwn-
1ingly note the contrary aspect. With a
spirit to seek solely the great interests Of
the people, and to prepare such a Constitu-
lion as the people themselves Will adopt,
the Convention will find their task IN
honorable though not an easy one.
