General sheridan.

Now that Gen. PHILLIP II. SHERIDAN, a
soldier and a gentleman, has succeeded the
violent and despotic HUNTER in the COM
mand of the Department of West Virginia,
we trust that he will add anotherto the glori-
Gus pages of his brilliant history by undoing
a portion of the shameful and Infamous
work of his predecessor. The deliverer OF
the oppressed, in all ages, has taken rank
among the foremost Of mankind, and been
cherished and revered by grateful people
long after the tyrant who used his great
authority to oppress and abuse his fellow
creatures, has been buried in contumely
and forgotten in his infamy. There are
now three innocent and inoffensive men
dragging away the weary hours OF an
unjust confinement in filthy dungeon
in General SHERIDAN's Department, con-
signed to a living tomb by the caprice
of Gen. HUNTER without decent pretext
or excuse. Their pretended offense was
merely personal to Gen. HUNTER; 1t was not
sufficiently grave in its character to justify
the punishment of dog, much less the
imprisonment and abuse of a man. We OF
course allude to Messrs. BAKER, LONG and
OxroBY, of The Wheeling Register, who
are now subject to the outrages and NAL
treatment of the brutal and debauched
OVER, the jailer of the Atheneum. Their
release by Gen. SHERIDAN, while 1t would
be an act of simple justice, would be jewel
in his crown of fame as bright and lasting
as any soldier or hero ever wore.

GREAT AND GooD.-It is q notable fact in
criminal statistics that no fat man was
ever convicted of the crime of murder.
Stout people are not revengeful; nor as
general rule, are they agitated by gusts
of passion. Few murderers weigh more
than ten stone. There are, however, ex>
ceptions, which justify us in assuming
eleven as the utmost limit of the slidingN
scale, but beyond that there. is no i'm
pulse towards homicide. Seldom has such
a phenomenon as fat house-breaker been
paraded at a criminal bar. 1t is your
lean, why fellow who works with the
skeleton KEYS, forces himself through
closet windows which seemingly would
scarce suffice for the entrance of the ne
cessary cat, seals with noiseless step
alongIthe lobby and up the stairs, glides
into the chamber sacred for more than a
century to the chaste repose of the gentle
Tabitha, and with husky voice, and the
exhibition of an enormous carvin-knlte,
commands silence on pain of instant death
and delivery of her cash and Jewels 1t
is YOUR attenuated thief who insinuates
himself under beds, skulks behind coun-
tiers, dives into tills, or makes prey o.
articles of commerce arrayed in shop
doors for the temptation of the credulouf
passenger., A corpulent BURGLAR is AZ
much out of place and as little to be fear
ed as was Falstaf at Gadshill-and what
policeman ever yet gave chase to a dep
redator as bulky as a bullock Corpn
lence, we maintain, is the outward slgr
not only of a good constitution, put o
inward rectitude and virtue.-Black

Mn. LINCOLN ON THE FATE OF HOOPS
ARuy.-Mr, Lincoln is jubilant over the
scatteration of Hoods army by Thomas,
and in speaking of it last night, he was re-
minded of the following anecdote. Out in.
lower Illinois, in little village, there was
a butcher named Sykes, who had a large,
misobievous bull dog which was regard
ed as a town nuisance. Fowls were killed,
clothes were pulled from the line. meat
houses were robbed, children were scared,
and Sykes dog" was blamed for all aud
blamed justly. Now there was man
named Henderson, who had fine turkey
killed by this dog of Sykes and he swore
revenge. So he took about quarter of
POUND of powder and did it up in piece
of buckskin, tying up piece of punk
80 that it projected out of the little bundle
of powder. Then he put the bundle in a
large piece of corn bread and bad it inrea.
diness. 1t was not long before Sykes's
deg came trotting along and Henderson,
lighting the punk with his cigar, threw
the bit of bread to the cur, who gobbled
it at a mouthfuI. The next minute and
there was an explosion The dogs
head was blown over fence into the
creek, his hind legs and tail were sent
up and lodged on Henderson's porch, his
fore legs wers thrown across the street.
aud the rest of the boW.wow was laid
about in small pieces. "Whorral" ex.
claimed locker on, you've rather used
up Sykes's dog, haint ye, Henderson,
"Yes," replied Henderson, -"I rather think
that az dog Sykes won't find him of much
use"
And so of,the rebel army-Gs an army
Hood won't find it of much use."-W Wash.

ine Lao against Stealing Gopsrssmcn
NaA fags, &c.-From the many arrests
which lave been frequently made OF persons
having in their possession mail bags and
other property belonging TO the Confederate
government, it would seem that the penal
ties provided for such Offences are not fully
understood. Commissioner Sands has.
within the past few days, been called upon
to hear complaints against several parties
charged with stealing mail bags, in all of
which cases it has been shown that there
was no intent to steal, the accused persons
having made use of them without know
ledge that they were violating any law in
doing SO. That every one may make them
selves acquainted with the law ON the sub
ject, we copy the following section passed
ut the last session Of Congress.
"If any person shall steal, purloin, or emit zz,e
anv mail bags in use by or belonging to ,he Post
Office Department of the CeHfederaf. States or any
other property In use by or belonging to the said
PosiOice Department. or shall for any iucre, gain
or convenience, appropriate any such property to his
own, or any other than its proper use, for any
lacre or gain shall convey away auy such property
to the hindrance detrtment Of the public service
of the Confederate States, the person so offending
his counsellOTs, aiders and abettors, (knowing Of
and privy TO any offence aforesaid.) shall, on con-
