Lieutenant General. ,

The nomination Of General Grant as
Lieutenant General has been unani-
mously confirmed by the Senate, and
he now holds the highest rank in the
Army Of the United States. Lieuten-
ant General Grant is a comparatively
young man to have attained this high
honor, but be has deservedly won it by
his bravery, his high military skill, and
his invaluable services TO his country.
The sentiment of the whole country
pointed TO him as the man whom they
wished to see honored with this signal
mark of distinction. General Grant
was born in Ohio, April 9th, 1922, and
he is therefore not quite forty-two years
Of age. Lieutenant General Scott, now
on the retired list, still retains his
rank Gen Scott, however, by his ap-
pointment was only a Lieutenant-Gen-
eral by brevet, and General Grant is
the only man, except General Wash
ington, who has been honored with the
full rank of Lieutenant General in the
United States. The bill under which
General Grant has been appointed says
that "the President is hereby author
lied, whenever he shall deem it expe-
dient, to appoint, BY and with tho adj
vice and consent of the Senate, a Lieu
tenant General, to DO selected from
among those officers in the military
service not below the grade Of Major
General, most distinguished for cour-
age, skill and ability, who, being com
missioned as Lieutenant General, shall
be authorized, under the direction and
during pleasure Of the President, to
command the armies Of the United
States" We have now one responsible
military head to which the people can
look for the guidance Of our armies,
and he is worthy Of the trust

Hard Nuts to Crack.

Few people are aware of the large
number of impregnably fortified works
that are being constructed along the
Mississippi river by our troops--mainly
by our negro troops. BY imDrepaabe
we do not mean that all these works
are absolutely beyond the possibility Of
capture by any conceivable force; but
simply that they cannot be taken by any
enemy that could be marched or mass
ed against them-not, for instance, by
the whole military power Of the South
ern Confederacy, much less by the com
bined armies and navies Of France and
England The rebels Indicated to US
what were the strongest natural posi-
tions on the river; and some Of them
they made hard effort to hold, but in
each and every instance they failed for
want Of the proper appliances These
positions, such as Port Hudson, Vicks-
burg and others, have been taken hold
of by our troops, and around them have
been built new works; compared with
which the rebel works were contempt
bic, while our appliances Of artillery
and our iron-clad naval supports add
indefinitely to their superiority We
venture TO say that il jeff Davis were
to marshall all the armies Of the South
against Vicks5tgg, he could not capture
it in twenty years, nor, for that matter,
in twenty centuries And there are
twenty places on the Mississippi river
of which the same thing might be said
We should like to inquire Of JEFF Davis
what he proposes doing about it, ~

General Orders No 3.
The General Commanding tenders his
warmest thanks to the officers and sol
diers engaged in the late offensive re-
connoisance towards Tunnel Hin and
Dalton. By their zeal, patience and
courage on the march, and under the
fire of the enemy, they have won a new
and stronger claim to his confidence and
respect In discipline the general con
duct of all was unexceptiOnaL Still It
is the duty of the General Command
ing to say that there was some wanton
destruction Of prOperty-the work Of
stragglers from the march, and skulkers
from the field, which, for himself and
the soldiers under his command, he dis
avows and condemns We are the sol
diers of Constitutional Government,
and are fighting to restore to the people
Of these unhappy States, who are groan-
ing under the cruel, relentlers despo-
tism of traitors and usurpers, the bless
ings of free and equal laws. Jealous of
the honor Of American soldiers, the
General trusts that every officer and
soldier of his immediate command, viii
feel thatdisOrder and disregard for the
rights of the peaeeable citizens of the
country, is as disgraceful as cowardly
No brave man viii oppress the weak and
defenceless.

manded the Massachusetts, 54th, which

Beauregard An officer writes Before
going into battle tho 54th was double
quicked for a mile, and, as they went
IN, Gen Seymour said 10 Col Hallowell
The day is lost; you must 20 in and
save the corps. He did 90 in and did
save il, checked the enemy, held the
field, and was the very last to,ieave, and
covered the retreat" Another corres-
pondent says hear loud praises Of
the 54th Massachusetts,, Sth United
States, and lst North Carolina (cOl0red)
They went up at the double-quick when
our advance was nearly destroyed, and
saved the left from being turned, in
which case the whole force would have
been annihilated The conduct Of the

YOUSC BLOOD-Gen. Fitzpatrick and
Gen. Custer, whose exploits are to-day
the leading theme Of newspaper com
ment and Of social remark, are both OF
them men in the heyday Of youth. XII
patrick is twenty-eight years old, and
has been a widower for about a year
Custer, the youngest general in our ser
vice, is but twenty-four years of age, and
was married only three or four weeks
ago Both Of these brave young men
are West Pointers, and were graduated
in the same class-that Of 1861
Gen Averill, who made the brilliant
raid into Western Virginia, is a little
the senior Of these two he is now
lying in Washington, with both feet
suffering severely from frost-bite Dur
ing the dash into Southwestern Virginia
he was at one time forty-eight hours in

has rendered, viii be pleased 10 learn

TIE APPEoAcBEo END Or SLAvEEY-
The Catholic Telegraph Of last week
says:
As rats abandon a sinking ship 30
the advocates Of slavery are taking a
long farewell 10 the peculiar institution
Even Brooks, Of the y, Y Express, has
turned his back on t. Before many
months the white laborer viii have a
field Of enterprize opened TO his ener-
eies such as was never seen before in
this or in any other country. Let the
church prepare for the new crder Of
thing The land thai vas desolats
shall blossom Ike the rose. Where the
pestiferous breath Of slavery heretofore
destroyed every holy effort Of our faith
70 take root and flourish, now that the
evil il removed, the pure breath Of
freedom prevails and tho sign Of tho
cross win be seen where a few years
ago 40 one thought Of is appearance.
The enemies Of the church and of our
humanity rage in vain. Senseless
political prejudices must disappear be
fore the light Of divine trath.
