KEY interests were evidently too strong foi
such move. and 10 tax is imposed on the

passed and signed by the President provides
for the tax Of sixty cents, only to July l, the
tax after that is to be regulated by a supple
mental bill. a tax of forty cents is levied
on the stock of foreign spirits OF hand.

Presidential.-Mr. Chase's Withdrawal.

We publish on our outside letter from
Secretary Chase Withdrawing himself from
the canvass for the Republican nomination
for the Presidency. We think his withdraw
al at this time peculiarly happy. Some un-
scrupulous and designing politicians were
making use of his name in way that would
ALLEVIATE very many Of his best friends. The
Pomeroy "private platform would not hold
SO great man as Mr.. Chase, and it is now
held out for some other man, with the main
hope. it woulj seem. Of dividing the Repub
leans so as 20 defeat Mr.. Lincoln. If the
people believe President Lincoln is the best
man VT have tor the position he now cccu-
pies they VII see that he retains that place,
politicians to the contrary notwithstanding.
As far as heard from the loyal States are al
most unanimously in his favor.
This pickle that the Pomeroy committee
nave jumped iato reminds the Newburyport
Herald Of a " little story that is quite ap-
ropoS:
When the negro went to hear Geo. White
field preach, whose place was supplied BY
another clergyman-and rolled on the ground
and groaned as was the fashion of White
held converts, after the whole was over, he
heard some one say that he was sorry Mt to
hear Whitefield since he had come 20 miles
'or that purpose. Thereupon the negro
rolled his eyes aud showed his ivory. and ask
ed" You say dat not master Whidheld "
YES" was the response. Den dis niger
roll in de dir. for notfin" That is prett,
much as the Chase men. who have sent out
from Washington 800 900 circulars against
"Oid AOe,' find themselves. They have
said against the Lincoln administration what
no democrat would dare say, 10 kill off Lin
coin and make way for Chase. And now
Chase declines to be candidate-which is
the best thing he could DO, if such means
wsre to be resorted to for his nomination.
and they find they have rolled in the dirt for
nothing. 1t ma" be Eoc worse than nothing.

Gen. Meade at Gettysburg.
Certain officers in the army of the Potomac,

Certain officers in the army of the Potomac,
(prominent among whom is Dan Sickles,
brave man, as he has proved himself, hav-
ing given leg already for our country,
but about whom there hangs little reminis-
cence of a certain transaction near the Presi
dents house in Washington, in which he was
chief actor and Phillip Barton Key the vic
tim), have made statements that at the battle
of Gettysburg, Gen. Meade had an order
written, directing the retreat of the army
seventeen miles. The case has been investi-
gated, and it has proved that the officers
were mistaken. These officers, who are thus
endeavoring to ferment strife in the leader
ship of our armies, ought to be served with
the same treatment which they hoped to see
inflicted on Gen. Mediterranean from COM
mand. 1t is the business of officers to obey
commands, not to criticize them.
Gen. Meade was victorious at Gettysburg,
and tie petty jealousy that would attempt to
deprive him of those laurels, ought to be
permitted to subs;de into private life. 1t is
this despicable spirit that has paralyzed the
army Of the Potomac, and government ought
to take measures to eradicate it. But this
hostility Of the political generals reacts up
on their own heads. In the investigation of
these charges against Gen. Meade Gen.
Hancoek's evidence entirely sustains Meade's
management, at Gettysburg. Gen. Meade
claims that it was his intention to have turn
ed Lees right flank at Gettysburg, and to
have placed his own army between the con-
tederates and the Potomrc before giving gen.
eral battle lie SAYS that lie was perfectly
confident of his ability to defeat Lee, and
could then have captured him, bag and bag
gage, but that Gen. Sickles by disobeying
orders advanced his own corps too far, got it
involved, and it then became necessary to
engage the whole army in order to save
Sickles. Meade says that it cost three
thousand men merely to repair the blunder
OF which Gen. Sickles was guilty.

LIElT..GEN. GRANT.

On Wednesday afternoon the President
formally presented to Major General Grant
his commission as Lieutenant General. The
ceremony took place in the Cabinet chamber,
in the presence of the entire Cabinet. Gen.
Halleck, Representative Lovejoy, Gen. Rawl-
lngs and Col. Comstock, of Gen. Grants
staff, the son of Gen. Grant, and Mr.. Nico-
lay, the private secretary of the President.
Gen. Grant having entered the room the
President rose and addressed him thus:
"GEN. GRANT:
The nations appreciation of what YOU
have done, aud its reliance upon you for
what remains to do in the existing prea,
struggle, are now presented with this COM
mission constituting you Lieutenant General
in the army of the United States. With
this high honor devolves upon YOU also a
corresponding responsibility. As the coun-
Try herein trusts you, SO, under God, it will
sustain you. | scarcely need to add tina:
with what here speak for the Nation goes
my own hearty personal concurrence"
10 WHICH uenerai Urant replied as fol-
lows:
"MR. PRESIDENT:
l accept this commission with gratitude
tor the high honor conferred. With the aid
of the noble armies that have fought on so
many fields for our common country, it will
be my earnest endeavor not to disappoint
your expectations. | feel the full weight of
the responsibilities now devolving on me and
l know that if they are met it will be due to
these armies, and above all to the favor OF
that Providence which leads both nations and
men,"
The President then introduced the General
to all the members of the cabinet, after
which the company was seated and about
nall an hour was spent in social conversa-
ton.

Agents for The Caledonian.
Another Call.-2CO,OOO More.

The President has called for two hundred
thousand more men. If they are not yolua-
teerpd before April Is, draft will be made
a, soon after as practicable" The govern
mcnl bounties continue till April /. after
which tote the 500 only will be paid. The
President says this call is made " on account
Of transfers to the navy, and to provide an
adequate reserve force for all contingencies"
This call for additional troops has been hint
ed at for some time; and it was the general
impression that it would be made as soon as
the 100000 call was equitably adjusted
through all the states With a surplus Of
3ooJ men Vermont has not mneh to fear
.raln this last demand.

Col. Dahlsren.

Col. Dahlgren, who was ambushed and
shot, and most of his men taken prisoners
in the Fitzpatrick raid on Richmond, was a
son of Admiral Dahlgren, and had previously
lost Leg in the service The Richmond
Wing of the Sth has the following para
graph:
"The body of Col. Uric Dahlgren, killed
in the swamps of King and Queen, by the
9th Va. cavalry, was brought into the city
Sunday night and laid at the York river de-
pot during the greater part Of the day yes
terday, where large numbers of persons went
to see it. 1t was in pine box, clothed in
Confederate shirt and pants, aud shiouded in
Confederate blanket. The wooden leg had
been removed by enc of the soldiers. Co..
Dahlgren did not use wooden leg, his
wounded limb not being sufficiently healed. !
1t was also noticeable that the little finger OF
the left hand had been cut off. Dahlgren
was small man, thin, pale, and wore red
hair and goatee Of the same color. His
face wore an expression Of agony: About
2 O'Clock P. NJ. the corpse was removed from
the depot and buried-no one knows, CT is
to know, where"
"a dispatch from Col. Dis father the 18th
says he expects The body Of his son to be
forwarded him from Richmond, but it has
not been done.
The following respecting the capture of
Col Dahlgrcn's guide is in the Richmond
Examiner
"Dehlgren's guide, recommended to him
at the last moment as the very man he
wanted by one truly yours, John e. Bah
cock, has reached the Libby in company
with two or three hundred brigaDds he al
tempted to guide into the heart of Richmond.
His name is John A. Hogan, an Irishman by
birth, twenty-three years old, tall and 1.-the,
with fine, open cOuntenance. When asked
his rank, be declared himself full high pri-
vate, and did not aspire to anything else
! Being Intercepted as to his knowledge OF
/ Richmond and its suburbs, he said he knew
| it like bog he was guest at the Hotel De
Libby in July, 1868, and knew the officers o!
the prison. Then recognizing Mr.. Ross, the
clerk, Hogan broke out, How DO you do
| Lieutenant Ross; glad to see you.' Hogan
boosted of his narrow escape, having had
four bullets put through his clothing and
! hair. Ia reply to a question as to what he
was fighting for, he replied he was fighting
/ for fun. When such fun ends in a hempen
rope, as W. trust it Will, Hogan will cease TO
estimate his business as Joke"

The German Radicals,

We have before us the German American
a new paper started in New York. which
seems to he the organ OF the German on.
position TO President Lincoln. 1t plaini,
declares that If Mr.. Lincoln must of nec.:.
sity be candidate. and the refusal Of the
Germans 10 vote for him would give the viz
tory to the opposition, then the days Of the
Republican party are numbered" In auorh-
err article, the Republican politicians are
tod not to wonder " if in a choice betwee,
Mr.. Lincoln or Gen. Mcclellan, the German
Republicans should stand aio0f from the con.
test and leave the election t. the Democratic
candidate" This is al! well enough, if it
comes from parties whose independent stand
ing is clearly understood. Bat it is not 81
well. il men talk IN this way who expect TO
have representation in tie Republican con-
ventIon, with the freedom of binding others
to IFS action i II suits them. but if j. does
not, rejecting it and giving their influence TO
the opposition. This would be patternins
after the great secession example of 1860.
1t is not very clear yet what position in this
respect the German radicals are going 10
take up. We find in the paper from which
We have quoted, a series of resolutions adop-
ted at a late convention at Cleveland, Ohio,
which appears 10 constitute the platform of
this political interest. one of which besins as
follows.
"Resolced, That the German Convention.
and the organization 10 be created BY it,;,laces
itself on an entirely independent footing. Il
forms no part of any of the existing parties.
and cannot recognize any party obligations"
This seems to be explicit enough; still we
lind this New York organ talking about
Herman Republicans" and fellow Republi-
cans" The matter is of little importance
now, and perhaps will never be otherwise.
(althoush the Presidents enemies are tryins
to make something of it) but it ought TO be
reasonably understood.
