THE iADJurANr GEssRALsH,P.-It is we'll know
that the Office Of Adju,ant General was declared
vacant ny the Supreme Court, because the old IT.
cu,nbent Gen. Martin, had accepted an office undo
the Confederate government, and could not consti
tutionaly hold both Offices. A good deal has beer
said, pr" and con, in relation to Gen. Martin re
noval, but we think the decision of the Suprem
Court should settle the matter.
AS to the qualifications of bis successor, Genera
Fowle, we are, informed by those we'll acquainle,
xith him, that his appointment to the office OF Ad
Jutant General is a most excellent selection; tina
he is gentleman Of the first order Of talents o
first rate business habits strict integrity and honor
and civil and gentlemanly in his demeanor toward
all men, high or low, rich or poor And what i
of great importance in his new station, he is pro
found lawyer, and we'll understands tha differenc
