SIMON CAMERON having resigned the
Office of Secretary Of War, EDWIN NJ.
STANTON has been appointed In his stead.
Mr.. CAMERON has been appointed by
President LINCOLN Minister to Russia, in
place Of CAssIus VI. CLAY, who desires to
come home and engage III the fight now
goiug on in kentucky. Both these ap-
pointments have been confirmed by the
Senate The labors of NIr. CAMERON
have been so arduous that his most init
mate friends state that he long since de-
termined to resign his position in the War
Department so soon as he could do SO
without prejudice to the service. He will
make an able and influential Minister to
the Court of Russia-a Power with which
our Government desires to maintain its
present friendly relations. Mr. STANTON,
the new Secretary Of War, has been a
DOUGLAS Democrat he is a man Of splen-
did abilities, and has the entire conf
dence of the loyal portion of the country
He is warm personal friend of Mr. CAM
ERoN, and also of the President, and is in
favor OF a vigorous prosecution of the war
until this unholy Rebellion is crushed
out. His appointment, we believe, will
give universal satisfaction

Our amiable neighbor up street last
week paraded before his.readers what he
called "a few facts" concerning our hum
BILE self They were, OF course, nothing
more nor less than the same old, oft-re,
peated and oft-refuted charges done up in
a new shape. But lest it may be forgot
ten what manner of man CARL DIZZARD
MURRAY is, let "a few facts be submitted
to a candid world
1st. He believes that the Constitution
is Pro-Slavery document, and that Free
dom is sectional aud Slavery national.
I'd. He regards the negro as being moth
ing more than brute, and 'as having no
rights which the white man is bound to
respect"
3D. He attempts to justify Slavery ON
principle, aud argues that it is 'a social,
moral and political blessing"
4th He is in favor of opening the AT
rican Slave Trade, regarding it as great
missionary movement that ''will bring At
rica to the Bible, and thus save the trouble
of taking the Bible to Africa"
9th. He ignores the teachings of the
Fathers of the Republic, and pins his
faith to the coat-tails of such men as DA-
Wis, YANCEY and BRECKINRIDGE.
9th He would Of he had the courage)
capture fugitive slave and carry him
back to Slavery, in order that he might
get the reward offered for him by his
master.
18th. He would rather see the army of
the United States engaged in putting
down Slave Instructions, than to see it
employed in crushing out the Infamous
Rebellion of slave owners and slave dri-
vers
Sth. He would rather see this glorious
Union shivered to atoms than see it saved
by the emancipation of single slave.
9th He holds the administration of Mr..
LINCOLN responsible for the war, and not
the Rebels.
10th. He prophesied that if LINCOLN
was elected, the Union would be destroyed
and herein gave encouragement to the
Rebels to make the attempt
11th. He boasted afterthe election that
his prophecy had come true-and herein
he gave the Rebels to understand that
they had sympathizers in the North
18th. He said Mr. LINCOLN was a sec
tional candidate, and would be sectional
President-just what the Rebels said about
HIM
18th. He denounced the efforts of Pres
ident LINCOLN to put down Rebellion, and
save the Union, as an attempt to coerce
sovereign States.
l+th lie regarded the transportion Of
Federal troops through Maryland, for the
protection OF the Capital, as an invasion
of the ''sacred soil of that State
18th He denounced the suppression
Of reasonable newspapers, as a blow at
the liberty Of the press.
18th. lie denounced the arrest and i'm
prisonment of Traitors, as blow at the
liberty Of the citizen
18th. lie is in favor of patching up a
peace on any terms, instead Of conquer
ing an honorable one.
18th. he wants the 4 administration to
let the Rebels alone-just exactly what
the Rebels wanted themselves.
10Th He applauded the neutrality"
of the Border States. douglas said j:
There can be no neutralities in this war.
There can be none but patriots and trai-
tors.

PAINFUL ScENEs.-A correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press, under date of July 5th,
gives the following account of scenes among
the wounded in the late battles:
One mortaly wounded soldier asks, ssDoctor.
what do you think of my case-is it danger
ous% With a feeling which brings tears to
the eyes of men Of the stoutest hearts, the doc
tor replies, both for the surgeon and the spir-
itual adviser, that there is little or no hope.
and the soldier closes his eyes for few mo-
ments in despair, then rising, he looks earnest
ly for a sympathizing friend and makes the
same inquiry.
Maj. Barnum of the Twelfth New York was
mortally wounded, and while lying breathing
his last friend asked him if he had any mes
sage. to which he replied: "Tell my wife that
in my last thoughts were blended my wife. my
boy and my flag" He asked of the physician
how the battle went. and when told that it was
favorable to us. he said, "God bless the old
fla" and expired with the prayer finishing
inaudibly with his closing lips. A braver Off
Ger never urged his men TO gallantry.

"Oh," said he, what will Mrs. Ellis and Jen-

And beseeching me to take a message to them

4wise Measures of CIemency.,

Our attention is forcibly called to the recent
call of the Times party for "wise measures of
clemency" toward the rebels, by the following
shocking rebel barbarity. The victim of it
was brother of Jeremy W. Bliss, ESQ.,, of
this city, who, we presume, can hardly see the
pressing necessity for "clemency."
Lieut.. w. s. Bliss, of the I'd Michigan bat
ery-formerly from Detroit, and whose wife
resides in observation-disclosures brutally mur-
dered by the rebels at Tuscaloosa, Ala, while
aprisoner in their hands. He was fine young
officer, beloved by all who knew him. He
stepped across the street to get some milk. as
had been his custom; was ordered back by the
guard, and not moving quickly enough the
malign rebel shot him dead. The murderer
was acquitted readily by the confederate mill

ARMING LOYAL BLACKs.-In the House

of Kentucky moved to reconsider the vote by
which Gen. Hunters capital letter on the sub
ject ofnegro regiments was ordered to be prin-

table was accepted as test vote on the ques-

26. Among the yeas we are surprised to see
Diven of New York, Thomas of Mass, Kellogg
of ILL.,, Dunn of Ind, Blair of Va, and Maynard
of Tenn. The radicals were surprised at the
declaration of Mr.. Diven that he had for two
weeks vainly tried to introduce bill making
Ii the duty of the government to enlist all loyal
blacks willing to serve, and liberate them for

At the meeting held in the Cooper Institute
New York, on Tuesday evening, the following
incident took place:
When Mr.. Wickliffe rose to speak, a most
interesting and impressive incident occurred
After long and loud cheers had subsidized, a
voice called out, "Who is the speakers" The
venerable survivor of great and glorious days
leaned on the desk, and in clear and piercing
voice said: "An old man from Kentucky, by
the name Of Wickife." The effect was mag
niicent. Cheer on cheer for Wicklfie, for
Kentucky, for the union of New York and
Kentucky and all the States, deafened the ears
of the audience.
