TnE BEAUTY OF Blush Goethe was in

the latter being reproyed for some fault blushed
and hurst into tears. He says;
GLOW beautiful your reproach has made your
daughter. The crimson hue, and those silvery
tears, become her better than any ornament OF
gold or pearls.-There may be hue on the neck
of any woman; put those are never seou dscon-

more honor on General gho, throughout the
whole war, has been characterized by Il modesiy
equal % his capacity, and who at all times and
under all circumstances has manifested nm ab'
senco Of self-seekng in his simple devotion to
duty. The Boston Daily Advertiser comments
very justly rs follows on this signal achievement;
"No achievement Of the war is more deserving
of honor, well for its difficulties as for its i'm
portancc, than that which is nov inseparably
connected with the name OF Gen Banks. Tue
tenacious perseverance with which he has ap
piled himself to his object, undaunel by the
hardships and losses Of a summer campaign in
that latitude, or by the difficulties of besieging
an elaborately fortified and naturally strong
position, will be admired by all who read the
history of the siege and especially will it be
held in grateful remembrance by those who cou-
slider the painful anxiety which has been felt by
the public for many weeks as to the final issue
of the enterprise.
"This most honorable achievement will place
zen. BANKS IN position tlr superior to the
dsparagement and the sometime open attacks of
which he has been the object, The prriudces
and jealousies connected with his appointment
to his present command, which have caused
many sneer at his peculiar qualities, so strong
y in contrast with those of his predecessor, will
now cease. The great test of success which is
that of which most men are fond, has settled the
question as to his capacity aud the wisdom of
his appointment. We may be permitted to add
that we trust twill nowhere be forgotten thai the
General who has thus effected that which is the
complement of Grapt's work, is Massachusetts
General-and that the brave men who under his
command endured such tolls and privations,
surmounted such obsiioales and conquered in that
deadly trial Of strength and patience, to which
Nicksburg gives our only parallel, were
