The Bastilc in France was simply a
prison for the confinement OF persons sus-
pected of political acts or opinions not in
conformity with the government standard.
The "horrors of the Bastile' consisted in
the cloaeness of the incarceration
The prisoners were fed and cared for ac-
cording to their degree; nor were cruel
ties practiced upon them, except when de-
tected in attempting to escape.
Yet when tho Bastile fell, the world
shouted with enthusiasm. 1t was at ouce
the implement aud the emblem of tyran-
meal power The key of the dilapiGated
fortress and prison was sent by the French
Directory to George Washington, to tell
the people Of America, in the person Of
tho uoblest champion Of their liberties,
that another link was broken of the chain
which despotism had forged to enslave
mankind.
We, the people Of the United States,
for two or three generations, have looked
upon that ponderous key and wondered !;
wondered that men could have permitted
the system which it represented to grow
into an institution holding recognized
and permitted place in the government Of
polite and intelligent people wondered
if We or our poslerty could ever become
so slavish aud degenerate as to allow, in
our country, similar establishment. We
have protested to ourselves that no such
thing could Or should be permitted ). aud
that ON the first symptom Of its approach
such would BIZ the spirit of a liberty-loving
people that they would rise at once aud
PROSTATE in the dust not only the prison,
but those by whom it was ordained.

The Charges against General Mitchell
Col. Norton,

WE had prepared an article Of some considerable
length, based ON the statement of Col. Norton to
us in regard TO the charges against Gen. Mitchell.
and CD. Norton'S connection with that affair. Upon
c,rctul consideration of the matter we have Goa
cludcd not to publish the article, or anything else
rejecting on either party, at present.
Our reason for taking this course is Obvious
The matter is now before the Committee cn the
Conduct of the War. 1t is Il proper subject for Il
military tribunal and the military authorities
alone can satisfactorily dispose Of it. We have the
best Of feelings for Col. Norton, and would be the
last to DO him an injustice; but we have no right
to prejudice either him or Gen. Mitchell.
1t is proper to say that the Colonel claims that
his chief object in visiting Washington was to pro-
cure his exchange, he having been in the service
since the bat. Of Scarry Creek under the mistaken
idea that he had been exchanged for Col Patton.
The Colonel deni,.. that hc left Washington as in
dicated by the tel, graph to avoid AN order uf
arrest but that his intention Ia leave wa well
known to the President and War ncpaghacnt, and
the Committee on The Conduct OF the War; and that
these authorities had his adiiOsS and place of res
drnGo
We say this much an act Of justice to Colonel
Norton, but we deem ii improper to say anything
of the merits Of this unfortunate quarrel until it is
disposed Of 10y the military authorities.
