W
fiom 1s45 to 1854 President of the Amherst
College, died Of consumption at Amherst on
Saturday Last, at the ago Of 10. He WINS born
in Dccrfeld, Mass, Nav q, 1893. He entered
the ministry ut Conway, where he remained
from 1881 to 1925, when his failing health In
duced him to accept the profeesorship Of
natural history and chemistry in Amherst
College. From 1916 to 1854 he was President
of the College. During his presidency he
gave instruction in natural theology and
geology, and it was through his cxertions
that professorships were founded at Amherst
in these branches.
To the world at large Dr.. Hitchcock IL
chiefly known by his emineDce in scientific
attainments, especially geology, in which
department be probably had no superior in
the world at the time Of his death. He sug-
gcsted and executed the geological survey of
Massachusetts, the first scientific survey Of
an entire State under the authority of the
Government In the world. he was the first
to scientifically examine and classify the fos-
sil foot printe in the Connecticut valley, and
his Neurological cabinet at Amherst contains
specimens OF all those Known remalns- he
was the originator md the first President of
the American Scientific Association, and the
last Congress very properly named him rs
one Of the fifty incorporates and members
Of the American Academy Of Arts and Eel
ences- He was quite yoluminous writer on
scientific subjects, beng particularly dist1n-
guished by his writings on natural theology,
and the connection of religion and geology.
BE WAS also deeply interested In the subject
of Temperance. EARLY in his residence at
Amherst hc published several works on that
subject. some Of which were re-pnblished In
England. He commenced his career as an
author BY conducting IN almanac for four
years, before he was ont Of his teens; and
the curious in such things can see In the Am

ment, which consults its own interests alone,
without any regard for the pressure exercised
outside of military circles by journalists little
acquainted with the necessities of the hour.
The language of these papers must not, then,
be looked upon as indicative of the policy the
Government intends to pursue. If it means
anything, 1t means that certain class of the
Southern community have such confidence in
the power Of the South as to recommend meas
ures which great and strong nation alone can
undertake with certain chances OF success.
That confidence is certainly exaggerated. Still
it is based on so profound elements Of hope and
faith, it is colorcd with so enthusiastic convic-
tons, it rests on so many hundred thousands
of bayOnets, that it would be sheer folly to take
it as the mere Outpourings of infatuated blus-
terers. The South has, no doubt, the power OF
attempting to day the invasion of the North
without violating any of the rules of military
art; but whether it can carry it through sue
cesstuly is another question, even in the eyes
of the rebels themselves, as it was expressed
not long since by the Charleston Courier, pa

csing the invasion policy, and which now

Correspondence OF Inc W Ofid
WASHINGTON. April %.
STRENGTH OF THE REBELLION.
The information receive on that subject Is
certainly not of character to make us believe
III a speedy subjugatiOn of the South. The
rebel armies, am told by several eyewitness
es. are numerous, enthusiastic, well fed, we'll
clad and well equipped. They are confident
not rashly so as in the first year of the war,
but confident as men who have been tried by
the vicissitudes of the battle field, nerved by
adversely, and occasionally comforted by the
memory of great and glorious victories, and by
the continual recurrence of partial successes.
How long will their state of moral fortitude
last. am unable to say. This depends very
likely on the results of the next great battle
For the present. however, they are such rs 1
describe them-cOnfident, hopeful, morally
and physically strong. In this disposition of
mind there is no wonder if the rebel armies
are inclined to deeds of daring. None ere
more reckless than those who hope much and
although have no precise information as re-
CARDS an invasion OF the North by the rebels it
would not be surprising If, in their present dis
position of mind, they would give the prefer
ence to such a policy and thrust their iegons
northward across the Potomac the Ohio. and
even the Mississippi.
TIKI ADVOCATES OF AN INVASION OF THE
NORTH.
As an evidence of this, l will quote the
a
pretty far off from the theatre of war, do not,
perhaps. judge as well Of the military neces-
sites of the present campaign as those who
are nearer allude to the Savannah Repub-
Ecan and Montgomery Mail, both devoted to
the policy of invasion, and supporting it by
well-defined and Ineligible arguments. The
first believes that if the administration increase
the army of Northern Virginia to two hundred
thousand effective men and push it forward
into PENNSYLVANIA and Maryland, the South
would have peace within sixty days; the second,
holder still, wishes the same army to cross
the Ohio, easily fordable in July. and Genera!
Johnstons forces to 70 through Kentucky and
Tennessee into Indiana and Illinois, as the best
means to avoid the ruin of southern agriculture
and industry, and to secure q prompt and ad-
Vantageous settlement with the North. These
two organs OF southern public opinion, are not
the only ones recommending an invasion Of the
North; Others, like the Lynchburg Republicans,
the Selma Aississippias and the Mobile Ne,cs,
echo the same sentiment and advocate the same
policy. Their voice has of course, but little
influence upon the decisions of the govern.

WAsnnSGroN, May 3.-Among the witnesses
examined by the Committee on the Conduct of
the War, on the Fort Pillow disaster, was a
negro who was buried alive, and dug himself
out OF his own grave. There is no doubt of
the fact that one or more persons were nailed
through the flesh to pieces of wood and then
burnt alive. Not only on the day of the sur
render were such fiendish acts perpetrated, but
the next day, in cold blood
The victims seen by the Committee were
