REFORM SoHOoL.-1he MarysyiIle paper:
have had much TO say, recently, about the
State Reform School, and from all we can ga
ther. we arrive at the conclusion that the
building is a good one, that the Trustees have
done their duty, and that it only requires more
inmates to be emiaently successful. In view
Of the scarcity Of pupils in the establishment.
we would suggest 10 A. T. Crittenden, ESQ.
that, inasmueh as the boys under his charge
have lost their respected parent, Breckenridge,
and as Mcconnell and Bolts have abandoned
them in disgust, and gone to Washoe, he place
them, for a limited period, within that estab-
lishment. We don't know of a party that
stands in greater need of reform, or better
way of rendering the State Reform School
eminently successful.

The Republican War upon the Army
Officers.

The ceaseless efforts Of Republican members
of Congress upon tie army oficers-assaul,s
which iBclude Mcclellan, Halleck. Buell.,
Grant and others, all groaniless and wicked
induced Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, some DAYS
since, to speak out IS follows:
He trusted the proper military authorities
would be left 10 deal with the errors Of tie
army officers. He regretted this discussion.
During a service Of eight or ten years, be had
never found it necessary to yindica-e on this
floor, the conduct of any Of his fellow citizens.
either for the want of skill or courage. and
that this would always be so, he sincerely
hoped Without disTespect. be would say, your
army would do better, and the cause of the
country be advanced if you would read the riot
act and disperse both Houses of Congress" ="
The occasion of the above will be under
stood, when it is known, that. Republicans in
Congress. under the lead of Sumner, Thad.
Stevens. and others, failing in their attempt to
remove Mcclellan, make the recent victory at
Yorktown the occasion for saying that the Sc
cedng States have committed suicide, and
that Halleck and Mcclellan are fighting an
army of dead men and 'spooks.' Every sue
cessful general is an object of attack for them.
McClellan's victories in Western Virginia ex-
cited their jealousy they tried to supersede
him for driving the rebels from Manassas, and
would impeach him for his success at York
town. Halleck, when he swept the valley of
the Mississippi clear of rebels to Corinth, and
opened the liver TO commerce, was considered,
by Sumner and other Republican leaders, fit
object for denunciatIon on the floor of the
United States Senate. The hard earned sue
cess of Grant, at Pittsburg Landing when as
sailed by vastly superior force of rebels, but
excited fresh snivel from these canting Re
publican Congressman and hypocrites, and a
fresh roar from the bowling dervishes of Re
publicanism that has accompanied his army in
the capacity of correspondents.
On the other hand, Fremont, disgraeed for
iucompetency and dishonesty, is their hero !;
Banks unsuccessful in The Shenandoah, is their
idol Mcdowell, defeated at Manassas, is their
favorte. How long Will the country listen to
these Republican demagogues and hypocrites,
bowling down IFS defenders?
