REVIVAL OF BEN. WOODS DAILY NEws.-The
recent Union victories have caused great
rafting and stirring among the dry bones, and
among other resurrections we hear that Ben.
Woods Daily Necs is coming to life again.
We suppose this idea occurred to the author OF
Sort Lafayette" since the Presidents procla-
nation releasing political prisoners. He thinks
that there is no chance Of his being clapped
into Jail or o fort now, whatever he may
write. But let him beware, and be conserva-
tive. We have Secretary Stanton and Fort
McHenry. All opposition to the government,
either from seccssionists or abolitionists, how
ever, is now useless and practically ended.
Therefore Ben. Woods paper will injure no
body but himself, and nothing but his own pri-
vate treasury.

extremes of generosity. Buckner, in fact, has
learned the painful lesson that "the days Of
Southern chivalry are gone" We suspect that
had he not been hemmed in so tightly he would
have practised the chivalry of Floyd, in steal
ing off under cover Of the night. Chivalry is a
good thing in its way; but it must not stand in
the way of our Union soldiers if it expects to
be handled with kid gloves and sprinked with
lavender General Buckner's greatest feat of
chivalry was his profession of loyalty to Ken
lucky, while plotting to arm his secession asso-
ciates at her expense to drag her out of the
Union. The chivalry of Buckner was, there
fore, very properly treated by General Grant.
The chivalry of the rebels. from the lombard
ment of Fort Sumter all the way through, has
been very much like that of Buckner-the
height Of pomposity and impudence.
