THUS year Lord Palmerston,
the British Premier, has given nine
pensions to literature, four to sci.
ence, and one to education. The
most noticeable of these are $500
a year to Miss Frances Browne
an Irish gentlewoman, blind al
most from her birth, who has writ
ten novel or two, and some very
good poetry; to Gerald Massey
$3.50, SIN appreciation OF his SER
vices as a lyric poet, sprung from
The people," and to Mrs. Atkinson,
$500. in consideration of her hus
bands contributions to geographic
81 science-the fruits of six years
explorations in Eastern Siberia and
Mongolia, during which she ac-
companied him, and aided in pre-
serving a record OF his researches.

PASSING THROUGH.

Col. Silas Colgrove was in town
for a few hours on Tuesday, Sept
10Th. His regiment was on its way
to reinforce ROsecrans, and the Col
came this way to see his family.
We have for long while expect
ed to hear of Col. Colgrove's pro
motion; he has been in the service
from the very first of the war; and
we suspect that it is because he has
simply been fighting and nothing
else that he is not now q Brigadier
Nobody has ever been employed to
write him up.

-Reverdy Johnson made an adj
dress at Saratoga on Friday, at the
close of the County Fair. On the
state of the Nation, he said the
Government must be sustained. As
to Slavery. It was an evil spirit,
fruitful OF National difficulties, and
must finally fall in the contest with
free principles. He said Of the
Proclamation that such slaves as il
liberated could never be re-enslav-
ell; where they were not liberated
the people would settle the matter
themselves when they came back
to the Union.

New. from Nem Orleans.

New Orleans advices to the 25th give
nothing very important in the way of
news. There were some fears lest the port
should be, in effect, under rebel block
ade, as the Oreto, the Harriet Lane and the
Alabama were reported off the mouth of
the river. The correspondent of the Times
speaks disparagingly of the navy in the
Gulf waters and of Admiral Farragut.
General Banks had been at Baton Rogue;
his object supposed to be the commence
ment of the final struggle for the capture
of Port Hudson. 1t is said that this
much is certain-General Banks has at
Baton Rogue, now, within a forced days
march of Port Hudson, nearly three times
the number of Confederate troops" The
latter may, however, be reinforced before
the attack.
A vessel had arrived from Texas with
11S bales of cotton The captain reported
63 vessels, laded with all sorts of goods,
at the mouth of the Rio Grande, waiting
for high water. The cotton was originally
from Texas, but it was taken across the
river and then shipped from MatamOras
as Mexican cotton. The Times CORES
pondence says
Tnere are no Confederate troops at
| Brownsville, nor along the frA-a:-- a
| few thousand men, under a dashing OH
Ger, or under Governor Hamilton sent to
the mouth of the Rio Grande, could take
possession of this line of Texas, secure to
the New York merchants an enorm Gus
trade in cotton, and in sixty days, with
the assistance Of loyal Texans, secure that
State to the Union. Why this is not done,
seems to me impossible to understand
There are troops enough rolling about
New Orleans and vicinity to go down to
the place named, perform the work as a
frolic and then come back again be-
fore they seem to be needed at this point
for active operations"

No vir.ne in Tsrorlns Grass:

Full correspondence from New Orleans
exhibits view Of that city as it is, COM
pared to its condition under General But
Ter. No one in the country can exceed US
in regard for General Banks administra-
tive ability, and yet we cannot but regret
that the stringent rule of cold Ben But
Ter" was exchanged for the more lenient
one which has prevailed since that time.
Butler saw at the beginning that eoncilia-
tory measures were thrown away upon
rebels; they respected nothing but power
Accordingly, he gave them taste of Yam
kee discipline, which, although bitter,
was the very thing for their complaint
He made quiet and orderly city cut of
q noisy and turbulent one, and forced the
rebels to keep their heads low to avoid the
baton of authority. Il made the United
States flag feared, and therefore respected.
This may have been a forced loyalty,
but it was infinitely better than defiant
treason. 1t appears that he is wanted
there again to restore his regime. The
bankers and brokers are labOring TO de-
preciate United States notes; the minis
ters omit the prayer for the President of
the United States; negros who were set
free by General Butler are arrested and
cast into prison until they are claimed by
their masters; and the secesh ladies are
approaching the point when Buffers
Woman Order" will need reissue. Such
is the state of things, as related by cor
respondence. It is to be hoped that the
view is exaggerated, and that no such
marked change for the worse has taken
place. But Butler soon returns to assume
the reins, while General Banks goes to
Texas, where he will find opportunity for
the display Of the splendid talents of
which he is assuredly possessed.

Negro Regiment Bill Passed the House.
Another step has been taken, another
round gained on the ladder of national
progress. TheHouse of Representatives
have passed the bill authorizing the en-
plOyment of cOlored men as soldiers and
sal ors, to serve five years. As many are
TO be organized as President Lincoln "shall
deem necessary to suppress the rebellion" ="
Now, then, let the Senate promptly concur,
and white men will no more go into the
ranks as substitutes for negroes. The
Democrats must hold themselves partial
ly responsible for this measure, which they
have pursued and denounced with persist
ent hate. They have industriously eircu-
lated the doctrine that the people of the
North were tired of the war and would
furnish no more men for the army. The
true loyalists have taken them at their
word and said that if the Democrats spoke
the truth, then the war party would go
where volunteers could be obtained If
white men would not fight, then blacks
should be invited to the work The Cop
perheads are thus "hoist by their own pc
tard." Instead of depicting the army and
depriving the administration of the power
to crush the rebellion, they have augment
ed it by tens Of thousands of good and
able soldiers, who have been endeavoring,
for year and a half, to obtain the chance
to volunteer.
Time and again has it been sneeringly
said that the negroes would not fight In
their generous effort to disprOve this charge
as a slander, we look for noble deeds of
herOism and courage on the part of the
cOlOred army of the United States.

and the Ohio state Audiforship.
Hon. R. W. Tayler, present State Audi
tor Of Ohio, has declined to accept the ap-
pointment as First Comptroller of the
Treasury at Washington, in place of Hon.
Elisha Whittlesey, deceased. We are glad
of it, and so should the people Of Ohio be.
Mr.. Tsyler is fully competent to discharge
the duties Of that responsible Office, and
Ohio was honored in his appointment
But there we're other considerations than
his personal fitness, upon which, we are
glad to say, Mr. Tayler founded his de-
cision. In the LEADER of January 18th
mention was made of the appointment Of
Mr.. Tayler and Of the singularly hasty
manner in which his successor to the State
Authorship was named by the Governor
The substance of that statement was that
by the election of Democratic officers at
the last election, and the resignation of
Mr.. Cowan from the secretaryship ofState
last spring Governor Tod filing the va
cancy with Democrat Mr.. Tayler was
the only Republican on the list Of State
officers. Governor Tod having been elected
by the Republicans upon a Union ticket,
was Of course under some obligations TO
them, aside from which fact it would be
but ordinary courtesy to name a Republi-
can to fill the place Of a Republican
Accordingly, when Mr.. Taylor's appoint
ment was made known, n committee from
the two branches of the Legislature wait
ed upon Governor Tod, and presented him
g petition signed by sixty-two Union men,
bers, asking for the appointment of Judge
Wilson, of Greenfield, as State Auditor
To their surprise, (and, we may add,
to the indignation of the Republicans
of the State they learned that Governor
Tod had not only decided in his own mind
10 appoint to the office W T. KennOn, EsqJ
as the successor of Mr. Tayler, but had ac-
iually sent him on to New York to COM
plete the business upon which Mr.. Tayler
was engaged. Mr.. Kenuon is a Union
Democrat, who resi- gned his seat in the
House upon being appointed Secretary of
State, to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Mr.. Cowan. By thatchange
Democrat took the place of a Republi-
can in the State Offices and 10y appointing
him Auditor, the Governor had placed the
sole remaining State Office held by Repub-
licans in the hands Of the Democracy, an
act Of great injustice to large majority
of the Union party of the State. Mr..
Kennon had accepted the Office, and re-
turned his thanks by letter. so that the
whole business had been thus rapidly dis
posed of.
These facts were brought to the notice of
Mr.. Tayler. Thatgeutlemau, with a regard
for public duty which is as rare as it is
cOmmendable, waived all considerations
Of personal honor and pecuniary gain,
and declined the Office rendered him by the
President.
For this decision the Republicans of
Ohio will remember Mr. Tayler, and, we
trust, will not fail to give him their hearty
assurances of their appreciation of his
generous conduct

General sherman at Vicksburg

The Cincinnati Commercial in noting
the charges made against General Sherman
in connection with the vicksburg failure
says:
we happen TO know that the charges
made against General Sherman, are un-
just to that officer, and as we believe them
damaging to the public service, as well as
to his reputation, we have sincere salts
faction in stating the facts that will dissi-
pate them.
% The leading facts are these: General
Sherman was ordered by General Grant to
take with him what forces he could col
lect at Memphis and Helena, and on dan
named, make the attack on Vicksburg.-
Grant was to advance rapidly on Pember-
ton, keep him, with the main body of the
rebel army of the Southwest, fully en-
ployed, and if he retreated on Vieksburg,
arrive there with him. McClernand was
to gather the new forces at Cairo, and as
soon as practicable, 90 down and Join
Grant and Sherman at Vicksburg. Both
McClernand and Sherman were under
Grant, and it was not expected that Nc
Clernand would arrive until after the at
tack. General Sherman carried out his
instructions TO the letter, making the at
tack at the very time and place agreed up
on in a conference with General Grant,
and he would undoubtedly have been sue
cessful, if it had not been for the retreat
Of Grant, occasiOned by the loss Of his
stores and communications, and the con-
sequent ability of the rebels to throw ihoir
whole force into Vicksburg. Gen. sAvr-
man was in total ignorance of Grants re-
treat when he made the attack. The first
news he had Of the failure of Grants part
Of the programme was rHmor from the
enemy after the first attack, and that was
not credited.
Whatever may have been the defects Of
the plan Of operations against Vicksburg,
