GIN. snERMAN,s Position.

The report which was circulated yesterday on
Rebel authority that Rome had been captured
by Hood, seems 10 have canfed a little comino-
ton among the gold gamblers in WaIl-street,
bat is most unlikely to be true. That town is
fortified and strongly garrisoned, and not being
on Shernau'S direct line of communications,
would not have been attacked for tho purpose
Of interrupting them, nor would It's loss be i'm.
porant. The story rested upon a reported adj
vance Of the main body of Hoods army north
ward; and If it had any foundation would in
fact be taken 10 indicate that such movement
was in progress. But We do not deem that
probable.
The Rebel Department which includes Geor-
gia and Alabama, hes been put under Bcaurc-
gard. Just when Hood was superseded We do
not know, but il is not likely that the new
commander has found time to undertake q new
campaign on large scale. II not, then al the
Rebel operations in Northern Georgia and Ala
baIna relate to the efforts Of Wheeler and For
rest TO break up the Chattanooga and Nashville
Railroad, and the cooperating attempts on the
Chattanooga and Atlanta road. Both these
efforts have been made and rerulsed. Forrest
has been driven back across the Tennessee,
and the very serious attempt on Allsloona
On the 9th inst, By large force under
French, resulted in the total deies;ofthe Rebels.
Both those expeditions were undertaken at the
most favorable for their success, while
Gen. Sherman was concentrated at Atlanta,
and before he had detached any considerable
force for the protection Of these railway lines.
When,FOrrest crossed the Tennessee, few troops
could be got together at first 10 oppose his ad-
vance, yet it was less than sfortnight before he
was sent "whirlins" back again. 80 of the at
tack on Allatoona. 1t was arranged for just in
time. Gen. Sherman subsequently telegraphed:

thorough was the defeat that this Rebel force

And in fact, forret was driven beyond the Ten
nessee River on the same day. Oct. G, that this
Allatoona defeat occurred, so that the two main
columns of the Rebel advance came simal.aue.

very grave responsibility has doyolycd upon
President Lincoln through the vacation by
death. for the second time during the present
century. of the Office of Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court Of the United States. That this
responsibility will no nobly met, must be Inc
prayer Of every lover OF his country.
Old John Adams. on the very eve OF has
retirement from Office, designated JOHN
MARSHALL of Virginia for this important
post-one OF the many wise and patriotic acts
for which adequate credit has never been
given to washington's immediate successor.
Tho civilized world has learned to honor
Marshan as one OF the ablest and soundest Of
those great, pure jurists who are from time u
time youchsaled 10 bless mankind. After George
Washington, we doubt that any man has done
so much TO deserve the gratitude and rcver'
enca of tho American people % did John
Marshall. Gen. Jackson was required to de-
signate Marshall's successor, and his choice
Tell on Roger Il. Taney-not so great, not
20 wise man az Marshall. but still an able
learned, upright judge, whose one signal abcr'
ration from the line Of duty his surviving coun-
trymen viii now hasten to forget. Save in that
instance, we doubt not that he endeavored to
tread rigidly in the footsteps of his illuStriooS
predecessor.
President Lincoln Is very likely TO be person
ally estimated by the next generation according
Ia his choice of Chief Justice. III he gives
us o great, pure, true, ilus,rious jurist--one
who comprehcnds the relations Of Law 10 Lib
crty, reyorcncing them both-he viii be sig
nally exalted thereby in the Judgment OF the
noxt age; while, should he appoint some one
who seeks the post, but is not required by it
should he employ his great opportunity TO the
paltry end Of securing friend, satisfying a
grunbler, or paying political or personal debt
he will ssdden millions aud indelibly taTnish
his famo. VIGOROUSLY, the bench OF the su-
preme Court il not so strong as it was forty
years ago; emphatically, it needs to be reeu-
forced aud eley ated in the good opinion ol The
Nation. We trust the President Will take am
pie time, avoid all committsls, repel sycophants,
resist opportunities, resolved that his choice OF
Chief Justice shall be the crowning grace OF
career of exalted and benefcent public service.
No man can possibly have any ol0im to 20 lofty
q Trust that is not wholly founded in preGmineui
ability. integrity and worth.
