Davis is evidently not the man to command a
fleet in important operations of this kind The
facts as they have TRANSFERRED, bear too I'M
pleasant similarity to story Of him at Port
Royal not to force lis to this conclusion 1t IS
stated that while he was second IN command to
Commodore Dupont he was sent with several
vessels to make reconnaissance up the Savan-
nah river. He took with him an experienced
pilot and, on accommodating the river, found
that the Confederatey had placed distractions
across the channel. Satisfied with ascertain
ing the fact, he gave the order to return to the
feet when the pilot demonstrated with him,
stating the Instructions could be easily remov-
ed during the night, and Savannah captured.
SAY nothing about it., replied Davis, we have
taden Hilton Head, and that will sufice for the
present - The Herald does not vouch for
the story, but thinks there is sufficient cause
for an investigation.
The Chicago Board Of Trade, at recent
meeting, unanimously passed a series Of reso
lutions expressing their thanks to Gen Tur
chin for the energetic and decisive measures
against the rebellion which led to his alleged
persecution by Gen. Don Carlos Buell., and
rendering him public reception on his return
to Chicago. Gen. Turchin is expected to ar
rive in that city during the present week. The
statement that Gen Turchin had been acquit-
ted on the charges preferred against him, it is
now said, is untrue. The court martial found
him guilty, AMI dismissed him from the SER
vice Itis held BY bis friends that his promo
ton as Brigadier General annuls the decision,
as it was dated July 10, nearly a mouth prior
to the finding Of the court-nartial.
The New York World thinks that the com
ing two or three days are probably the most
critical and perjlous period of the war.

with large force Or a snail force, he always
knows his duty and does it.

Extraordinary changes have already been
brought about in our once happy country BY

were friends are now enemies, and family rela-

there Was formerly an orderly and an agreea-

have taken place, and the whole fabric of So
