pOTHE CAsE OF MAJOR BUCHANAN
The case of hiajor Buchanan which has
excited some interest in military circles
hereabOuts has been disposed of. The old
4th regiment of militia was lately divided
into two regiments, the 4th and 9TH. Major
Buchanan held commission in the old re-
giment and when the new regiment was
formed the Major was entirely ignored. He
demanded his position, and court of in.
quiry was called to dispose ofthe question.
The court on Saturday last decided that
under the circumstances Msjor Buchanan
was not an officer of the militia and was
entitled to exercise no authority.

Governor Curtin.

A cotemporary whose title we can not now
recall, says that Pennsylvania may well be
proud Of its noble Governor; and he may be
proud of the State over which he rules. He
has proven himself the "right man for tie
right place" What executive has more zeal
ously guarded the interests of the Common
wealth? Ever ready to act upon the most
urgent exigency, and always successful in
whatever he undertakes, he has given the
Keystone prestige that no other State pos
sesses. All men regard it with pride, and
honor it for its earnest purpose in sustaining
the President, and making him strong to cope
with rebellion. 1t is only necessary to an
nounce that danger to our country is abroad
and thousands Of willing hearts will rush to
Curtin, has been more active; none conceived
more gigantic plans, and in their conception
was master of the scheme, and forced success
and triumphed where only disappointment
appeared.
What public man has been more bitterly
assailed than Governor Curtin, and who has
proved the falsity of the charges and outrid-
den the storm of malevolence which his enc
mics raised, more rapidly than he? though in
the outset be was assailed by those who hated
him for his loyalty, and sought to destroy his
influence because he faltered not when treason
stalked abroad with impndent mein, yet he
laid his base assailants in the dust and stands
to-day before the country one of its best de-
tenders and most honored Governor.
