aEn,bI Oh, Hush, HushI'

The above caption contains the words the
Richmond Epaminer, uttered in recent ar
acle on led Davis In relation to his depriving
Johnsos of his command and putting Hood in
his lace. This journal says: "The follies of
tte Government are manifest to all, but hany
one who pays their cost, proposes opposition
or even a remonstrance, the amiable msJoii.y
cry, Hush! oh, hash, husu We can't get riu
OF him, Davis and he will do thus ana 80 ano
all the more ii he Is opposed. Don say any
thing, there must be no opposition 10 Hovern-
ment; therefore the only voice which Is heard
at all. is the voice of fatterers."
The Examiner is not only lugubrious in its
tone. but also snappish and illnatured. 1t can
not forgive the bogus President for turning
out Gen. johnson and putting in Hood as
commander. 1t thinks johnson and Lee are
the best Generals they have ia the rebel SER
vice. The Editor says: great evils were APP
pretended, but the results have SO much sur
passed expectations that they have assumed
the appearance ofjudgmeat," not only the APP
pearance, but the reality OF a judgment, in
our opinion.
VIC oh0AA navy o0nAS @AOPO " NA~ ~S~e"esstN'
Editor when he begins to see something like
judgment pronounced against the rebellion.
Judgment is sometimes slow but always sure.
The rebels have been made mad, and now
they are about to be destroyed. Such is des-
tiny and it is in vain to light against she fates.l
1t is net for us to find fapt with jeff Davis
because he changed commanders. Viewing
the case in all its aspects we think Hood has
commanded the rebels forces more to our ad
vantage than johnson did. True, the latter
General was driven before Sherman many
long miles, but he kept his army with him and
did not expose them to such dangers as Hood
has since he has taken command and supplant-
ed johnson. Hood said Atlanta could not be
captured by Sherman, but Johnson entertain
ed and expressed different opinion, and so
JEFF Davis preferred the General who was
most buoyant with hope, and the legitimate
results of the change of commanders are OIL
vious to all. ~ % az ff L 81 e.
Johnson gave up to Hood well disciplined
army for an army often shows its discipline
in retreats as well as in attacks And sure
Johnson's army always retreated in good or
der, although, it may be, somewhat discourag
ed. Soldiers, true soldiers, are not always
well pleased with retreats, especially if re-
treats are of lorg continuance. We think
johnson is the best commander for the rebels,
and Hood for us, and we believe our officers
and soldiers indulge the same opinion.
The more we look into the rebel papers, the
more are we convinced that now is the dark
est time the rebels have seen since they forced
this war upon our Government. When Lees
army becomes weakened and demoralzed as
Hoods is, and Grant drives them from Rich
uond, or captures them, the rebellion's back
will be broken, and the year of jubilee will
come. We now consider the power OF the
rebellion as conferred in Lee and his army. To
this complexion has it come at last.

as the opinion of an old hand at peace nego-

Agricultural College.

We clip the following item from the Oxford
Democrat
y The Commissioners appointed to locate the
Agricultural College have selected Bowdoin
College, for the purpose. 1t is capital place
to try the experiment of making productive
soil out of the good for nothing plains of
Brunswick. -
This paragraph is hardly fair. We under
stand that one OF the best farms In Brunswick,
lying on the Androscoggin River within q
fourth OF mile of the Colleges large pro-
portion intervale-is in the market, and meas
ures have been taken to secure it should the
location be made as recommended by the
Commissioners.
From the first we have felt that this Institu-
ton should be separate from and independent
of all existing institutions; but we are told
that very general fear pervades the public
mind-perhaps well founded that such Col
lege cannot be kept up without becoming
constant pensioner upon the STATE Treasury,
and this lear, whether well fousded or other
wise, will probably prevent the idea we have
suggested ever being actualized.
The next best thing the Commissioners have
tried to hit upon; and SO they propose not to
merge itin Bowdoin College and bury 1t there,
but to make it separate institution-like the
Maine Medical College-the State to appoint
amajority Of the trustees, SO as to hold the con-
troll, while tho Agricultural College thus es-
tablished shall have the free use and benefit of
the library and apparatus at Bowd in, and Of
the scientific lectures, and also of buildings
and farm to be furnished by the present
College Corporation, aa

The Convention also adopted resolution
prohibiting the Legislature from recognizing

A resolution was also adopted abrogating
the declaration Of State independence and

All officers appointed by the Acting Gov
