LIEUT.. GEN. GRANT.-A protrac!ed
interview between Lieut.. Gen. Grant, the
Secretary of War, and Gen. Halleck, took
place on Wednesday. The military con-
dition of the country was discussed, and
the general plan of harmonious and
decisive campaign devised. The necessity
of accomplishing more through the Army
Of the Potomac than has hitherto been
accomplished, was freely admitted, and
the subject of reorganization considered.
General Grant left on Thursday to review
the Army of the Potomac, and to ascer-
tain, by personal inspection, what the
hiudrances to its efficiency are. He an
nounces his Intention to avoid, if possible,
a residence in Washington, and to stay
somewhere in the Eeld Of active duty.
Gen. Halleck's position will not be really
changed, but he will continue as Chief of
Staff to the President, through whom all
his orders, as Commander in Chief of the
army, will be transmitted to the Lieuten-
ant General. Such a position will place
him on a grade inferior to the Commander
in the field.

WORDs THAT observation-disclosures
Morton, Of Indiana, at the Union State
Convention, held on the 23d Of February,
at Indianapolis, closed speech Of great
power with these living words: "They
who take the sword shall perish by the
sword and the rebellion having wickedly
and madly appealed to arms in the begin
ming, by arms must it be utterly crushed
and blotted from the nation. The man
who would counsel the nation to stay the
march Of our victorious armies, and give
the rebellion pause to cover strength and
vigor, under the vain pretext of compro.
missing with our erring brethren, must be
a traitor or a fool. Compromise implies
concession on both sides, and What could
We cede to them short Of the independence
of their Confederacy and the destruction
of the Union, and wha. else would they
ask US to cede ? In the very beginning,
spurniDg all negotiations, rejecting all
moral and religious considerations, the
rebellion spraug to arms, and, slapping
the nation in the face with the mailed
hand, challenged it to combat or ignomin-
ious surrender"

The Grand Jury has again recommended
the building of new Court House at
Sunbury. The business of the county is
becoming 60 extensive, and the old build
ing so inadequate to its accommodation,
besides unsafe as deposits for the valuable
public records, that the people of the
county are making up their minds to the
necessity of new buildings. We had
thought that perhaps the present was
rather an expensive time for building,
but when two Grand Juries in succession
urge it, it is time for the County Commis-
toner's to take the matter in earnest con.
