The occupation Of Chattanooga, by Gen.
Rosecrans, is the knell of rebel power in
East Tennessee, especially since Burnside
is further up the Valley at the other late
rebel stronghold, Knoxville, and the two
commanders are in communication.

and important. We have now Morris L.

rejoicing that the capture or the destruc-
zion Of Charleston will deserve. It is now
near at hand.

4 Commercial Crisis In Austria
Cotton.
The Paris R.tric says that letters received
from Vienna give Information to the follow
ing effect:
An intense commercial and agricultural
crisis prevails at this moment throughout the
provinces of the Austrian empire. Tie NM
nfnctu1ing districts suffer from the dearness
Of cotton, and are nlso at the same time af-
fccted By the general stagnation Of trade In
Europe and BY the cessation Of exports to Po-
laId. The reports respecting the state Of
manufactures and trade In Vienna are de2lor-
able. Tbs retail traders struggle Ia vain
against the crisis, and are evidently becoming
uemoralized under the effect Of the conlner-
cial failures; and the consequent distress Of
The working classes. The eame state Of
things exists in nearly every town Of Austria;
In the provinces, the long continued drought,
Which Is much more severely felt there than
il France, has converted the most fertile
plains into deserts. In the comitAts Of Hun
gary vegetation is completely burnt up. every
hind Of lire stock is perishing for rant Of
forage ard wAter, and in many villages thelr
carcasses lie on the roads. The same dis
t1cEsing news is received from Lower Austria,
from the environs Of Vienna. md from the
richest agricultural district Of Morayia.

Mr.. Mallory.-Strange Conduct.

The Richmond Rhig calls attention to the fact
that Mr.. Mallory, the Secretary of the Navy, has
posted Surgeon in the Navy and court martial
for honoTably acquitting that Surgeon! We find
the order of Mr.. Mallory in the Wing, in which he
reprim ands and " emphatically rebukes" the court
martial for the reason that they did not decide the
case according to his wishes It.appears that
naval Surgeon named Garrett, was arraigned before
a court martial composed of naval officers, for
dalous conduct-was duly tried and acquitted. The
finding of the court not agreeable to the Secre-
tary and he returned it for reconsideration. "But
the court" (says the Secretary "has seen fit to
adhere to its former decision and persists in honora
bly, acsuitting Surgeon Garnett." Whereupon, the
Secretary having no authority but to ratify, pro-
ceeds TO vent his impotent rage by stigmatizing
both surgeon and court martial, and holding them
up to the Reproduction of mankind.
We concur with the Wig that this is grave
case. The court martial is the jury of the army
and navy. ats decisions" adds the Wig, shave
all the force Of uries in civil and its purity
and independence are of essential consequence to
the lives and fortunes of all in the army and the
navy. We do not know who composed the court
martial in question; but they are generally CON-
posed of the most respectable officers Of the service
Now, Mr.. Mallory, in assaing this court martial
for persisting in decision, which its Judgment,
given under oath, approved, sssails the indepen-
dence of the tribunal and threatens the rights and
the lives of every man in the army and navy 1t is
notification to all other court martals that if they
have more respect for their oaths than his wishes,
they must not only look for no promotion, but ex-
pect the stern rebuke of the Department"
But Mr.. Mallory is Destructive, and we are not
therefore, much surprised at his conduct. He be-
longs to the Richmond Enquirer school of poiti-
ready to take the law into their own hands, and to
call on the mob to "tear in pieces" those who diff.
fer from them in political OPINION. He belongs to
a school of politicians Virginia and in this State,
who, when State does not do what they wish, de-
nounce her people as "a id nest Of traitors" -
who call upon the army to come home and "break
up the Internal Legislature, who appeal TO the
President to send regiment to Raleigh to hang
and shoot Conservatiyes-and one of whose Judges
nstructs the grand jury from the bench that in
dependent Editor, loyal as he is and infinitely
more unselfsh, ought to be mobbed. Mr.. Mallory
has remained in office until he has destroyed what
little navy we had; and now, it seems, he is en-
gagged in posting courts martial, and destroying the
character for integrity of the only tribunal to which
the officers of our navy can look for justice. Of
course he will be retained in Office. Such men are
never dismissed
