PERSONAL APPEARANCE AND TRAITS
OF Mr.. STANToN.-The new Secretary
of War, Mr. Stanton, is a stout, thick
set man, about five feet eight inches
high, and apparently about 40 years of
age. Hair and beard very black, the
latter worn thick and long. His head
is set very erect OF his shoulders. if
anything, a little thrown back. His
face round and solid in expression, with
blunt features. His address is prompt
and practical, his voice full, distinct
and uumusical. He has never studied
the art of pleasing, and has not the gift
OF paying compliments in conversation.
An exhibition of his thoughtlessness
In this regard was manifested on Mon
day, when the officers of the Army call
ed to pay their respects to him on his
introduction into office. An officer we'll
sprinkled with gray, but yet with quite
vigorous step and clear eye, was pre-
sented to Mr.. Stanton. The latter rec
ognizcd him, and shook him warmly BY
the hand, saying" II remember you we'll.
saw you many gears ago ,ohen you ,oere
~ The prime of life, and 1 was little
boy about SO high" And the new Sec
retary measured with his hand, as he
said this, an imaginary lad of not over
ten years old. The sturdy old General
turned and walked off without word
in reply, evidently not thinking him
self so old as Mr.. Stanton's remark
would have implied. II Washington Cor

has occasioned me unalloyed grati6ca-

direction of the suppression of rebel
lion. So far as can gather the popu-

joicing over the appointment; but that
rejoicing would be far greater did the
people know, as 1 do, the courage, the
loyalty and the genius of the new
Secretary, as displayed in the intensity
tragic struggle that marked the closing
days of the last Administration. He is
great man Intellectually and morally
"a patriot of the true Roman STAN D,
who will grapple with treason as lion
grapples with his prey. We may rest
well assured that all that man can do,
will in his present position be done to
deliver our poor bleeding country from
the bayonets of traitors now lifted
