A SENSIBLE observation-disclosures Sey-

have acted wisely in resolving to confne them
selves for the present to the business connected

GENERAL SToNEMAN.--N is reported that Gen.
SLOVENIAN has been ordered to report at
Knoxville for active service under General
Grant. Longstreet, we apprehend, will I'M
derstand the meaning of this proceeding, al
though it is probable General Stoneman may
be detailed on valuable reconnaissance in
some other direction. We think, in any event,
he could be more useful just now in General
Buffers departm ent than anywhere else; but
if he has gone West upon special request
from General Grant, which we suppose is the
case, the country may expect good report

COMMISSIONERS FROM ARKANsAs.-The COM
missioners appointed in behalf of the people Of
Arkansas to visit Washington, in reference to
the restoration of their State to the full benefits
of the Union, will probably suggest q pro-
eramme embracing the abolition of slavery.
We presume that most Of the slaves in Arkan-
sas at the outbreak Of the rebellion have since
been removed by their masters for safekecping
to the interior of Texas; and as a large pro-
portion of the remainder have been "gobbEed
up by the Yankees and as the remnants left
on the soil have become "pretty thoroughly de-
moralized," emancipation becomes as easy and
expedent in Arkansas as in Maryland. Such
are the consequences Of secession; and, il the
people of Arkansas are ready to deal with
these consequences as they find them, let them
60 ahead. A voluntary case Of restoration of
this sort will give an impulse to the work in
other States that will be irresistible Only let
the people Of the States recovered from the re-
bellion have fair chance, and President Lin
coin will soon find himself easy in regard to
the institution Of Southern slavery. The rebel
lion has killed it, and we have only to wait
patiently to see the end.

GOOD NEWS FOR THE RECRUITING SERVICE
In pursuance ofthe Presidents recommendation
the House Of Representatives has passed a joint
resolution extending the bounties heretofore
paid to volunteers from the 9Th of January to
the LIST Of March. To-day, in all probability
this resolution will become the law; and so let
the recruiting officers 60 ahead. The work,
under the bounties thus offered, goes bravely
on. We hear nothing Of any intention on the
part of the government to fall back upon the
draft, although the limitation fixed for volun-
teering the 9Th instantly has expired. 1t is
probable, therefore, that no more drafting will
be needed to finish up the war, and that the
government is acting upon this idea. Let all
the local authorities concerned in this and the
other loyal States do their duty in the premises,
and there will be NO more drafting. With the
prospect that the rebellion will be pulverized
within six menths, there need be no difficulty
in obtaining three or five hundred thousand
more volunteers for the war.

them there has been disposition to throw the
blame upon the Italian officer, Captain Imbert,
which seems TO us neither honorable, as attempt
ing to shield ourselves, nor courteous to a
stranger. No question has been made Of the good
conduct of the ship. She did all that could be de-
sired of her-pSoved herself as fine a specimen
of naval architecture as ever left our portland
no doubt our government would like very well
to buy her frcm her present owners. The only
question that lie TO be considered then, is who
had charge of her. Beyond doubt the pilot
ought to have had charge of her; and of
course he had. Otherwise, why was he on
board! IL is not TO be supposed that q
gentleman who has reached the high position Of
captain in European navy, and who has so
entirely the confidence Of his government as to
be detailed upon the honorable duty that Cap
tain Imbert is on, can be deficien. either in the
knowledge proper to. his position or in common
sense And without such deficiency no officer
would have pretended to sail bis ship on a coast
Of which he was ignorant when there were pres
ssent others Thoroughly acquainted with that
coast, and especially when there was on board
pilot whose business It was 70 sail the ship
It is more fair to suppose every other possibili-
ty-that Mr.. webb's arrangements were moi
what they should have been, or that the pilot
was to blame. Either of these seems to MS
easier to believe and more probable than that
Captain Imbert was in fault for the disaster ia
his ship.
And, indeed, IL we 60 so FAR as to suppose
that Captain Imbert did have charge of the ship
when she grounded, we must still believe thai
the Americans on board especially the pilot
are scarcely less TO blame thnn they would
| be under other circumstances, since they should
| still have been able to sec and oorrecs any dc
Walton that the ship might make from hel
proper course.

put in order Gen. Sherman fends burned the bridges
water fixtures and warehouses AZ miles of road, and
tore up the track for about Il miles, en- Is miles OF
which the crossties entirely destroyed, and the
rails badly bent. Within this distance there
was one large bridge over the Chickashay,
two over the Okatibbee river, and about three
fourtbs of mile of heavy tres;le work be-
Sides many small trestles and wooden cuverts. The
destruction occupied-a large portion OF Sherman s
troops for four or FIVE days They evacuated Meridian
tn, 2Oth Of February, and the 25th the work OF
repairing commenced, and was finished on the 24th
inst, being just 20 Il days, of which five working
days were lost by rain The Yankees have been com
plimented on their skill in destroying cur roads, and
the energy with which they reconstruct their own

repairing of the Mobile and Ohio road will compare
we'll with Yankee enterprise. The work here was be-

A DrF1cuLrr.-There would seem to be some dis.
agreement between General MORGAN and the Depart.
ments at Richmond, and, is usually the case, the
public sympathies are with the dashing partizan and
against what has been called routine and red tape
Of course papers like the Richmond Examiner seize
upon this es occasion to find fault with and abuse
the Departments
The disagreement to arise out of the fact that
General MORGAN insists upon an indeperd MT command,
and that independent CONN a1ds are opposed to the
policy of the President and the War Department. 1t
is 20 doubt thought at Richmond that this year is TO
be one OF concentrated movements and decisive strategy,
and that every corps must be under definite control
and subject to the general rules and plans OF the army
Raids and dashes, however glorious ard gallant, will
not pay for the absence of any important force the
proper place and at the decisive moment. We do not
think there is any difficulty about assigning General
MORGAN to command BETTING bis rank and services
Or in giv him adequate force, but there is about
giving him independent command in other words
