THE OFFICE or LIEUTENANT GENERAL.--It is
already proposed in tongress-that is, in the
House Of Representatives-to revive the Office
and rank Of lieutenant general of the United
States Army; and in the same resolution II is
proposed to give medal to General Grant for
the victories he has won. Now, the Office Of
lieutenant general is actually in existence, in
the person Of General Scott, and therefore
there is no need Of It's revival. But II is stated
that the rank Is to be "revived," so that it may
be conferred upon General Grant, in the hope,
no doubt, that such high military position
will switch him or the Presidential track. We
admit that General Grant deserves medal for
his brilliant services. In fact, be merits medal
for every one Of the four hundred aud seventy
two cannon that he has captured in this war, as
well as for every one Of the ninety thousand
prisoners captured by the troops under his
command. lie also deserves the rank Of lieu
tenant general. But il the politicians think
they are going TO beat General Grant, General
Mcclellan, or any other general, out Of the
Presidency by any humbug of this sort, II it be
the will Of the people to call either OF them to
that high station, they will find themselves
wofully mistakes.

BRAGG DOH:E FoR.-General Grant has given
the finishing blow to Bragg, who has been
superseded by Hardee Bragg has been an
unlucky braggart from the beginning Of the
war When he planted his batteries at Pensa-
cola for the reduction OF Fort Pickens, he de-
clared that, regardless of expense, men or gun
powder, Pickens should be reduced to the
rebel flag. But, instead of taking Pictens,
he was compelled to clear out of Pensacola,
and abandon the town and its defences to s'the
Yankees" Bragg, with considerable army,
next invaded Kentucky, and from the centre OF
that State issued flaming proclamation to the
people Of the Northwestern States to join his
victorious banner and tho Southern con-
federacy; but his onward march at Psrryville
was turned into disgraceiul fight over tho
mountains of Kentucky into Tennessee. Next
be undertook an advance upon Nashville, but
was met half way by Rosecrans, and sent Off
again, soundly thrashed for his presumption.
Next he was turned out Of his Notifications at
Tulhhoma and Shelbyville, driven over the
Tennessee river, turned out of Chattanooga,
and pursued into the plains Of Georgia. There,
Generals Longstreet and d. H. Hill, with their
veteran legions from Virginia, and twenty thou
sand Georgia militia, coming to his rescue,
Bragg wheeled about to destroy the Union
army; but he only succeeded in pushing it back
into position from which it has recoiled with
the most disastrous consequences 10 Bragg him
self. And this is the end Of Bragg. He may
now be put in the same catalogue with such
specimens of Southern military invincibility as
General Floyd, General Wise, General Pillow,
Humphrey Marshall and 10. Johnston.

One OF THE MARvELs OF THE AGE-WHAT
Has BECOME OF Ir-Some three years since
all Europe was agog. A leviathan steamship
had been built which was to transport
tens of thousands of human beings across the
ocean in an unprecedentedly short space of
time. Old Neptune was vanquished, and John
Bull was the individual who did the deed.
Crowds fiocked to the Thames river to see the
huge steamer; new piers were built for her;
incense was offered up to the huge monster.
In this country she created the same cnthu-
siasm, caused the same wonder. A few years
have passed by, and the general inquiry now is,
What has become Of the Great Eastern?" A
glance at our advertising columns will solve the
mystery. There under the head of auction
Sales" may be ascertained the fact that on the
l4th day Of January next the renowned paddle
and screw steamship Great Eastern, 22,791
tons, 679 feet in length, 81 feet in breadth, and
having four paddle engines of 1000 horse and
four screw engines of 1000 horse power, will
be sold at auction, by order of the mortgages,
at the salesrooms Of Messrs Cunard, Wilson &
Co., Liverpool. What a comment uponSthe un-
certainty Of human events. Big ships ' Ike great
men, come to grief, 1t seems, and get knocked
down. The lesson is replete with instruction.
