ORDER FROM GEN. GILMORE. Gen. q
A. Gilmore has issued an order in which, as
Commander of the Department of the South,
he pronounces null aud void the recent pro-
clamations of the rebel Governors Of South
Carolina. Georgia aud Florida, because they
are " disloyal to'the United States" He
says that the policy and wishes OF the Gen
eral Government toward the people of those
states will soon be made known, aud he
adds:
1t is deemed sufficient, meanwhile. to
announce that the people of the black race
are free citizens of the United States, that
it is the fixed intention of a wise aud benef-
cert government to protect them in the en-
joyment Of their freedom and the fruits OF
their industry. and that il is the manifest and
binding duty Of all citizens, whites well as
blacks, to make such arrangements and agree
ments among themselves for compensated
labor, as shall be mutually advantageous to
all parties. Neither ideness nor vagrancy
will be tolerated, and the government will
not extend pecuniary aid to any persons,
whether white or black, who are unwilling
to help themselves"

At the battle of the Wilderness, the 9th
day of May, 1864. Mr. Clark W. Powers from
D.nyille, of the 4th VT. regiment, was seen
to fall, and as the rebels took that position a
few minutes later he was not again seen by
his comr AIDES in arms, and they reported and
believed him killed He was mourned by his
friends as dead. Nor did they know to the
contrary till the present spring, when among
a lot of prisoners from that slaughter pen at
Andersonville he was sent North. He is now
in hos pits in Montpelier, recovering from a
severe attack of typhoid fever. He says he
was not even hit by rebel bullets on the day
when he was reported killed, but that he fell
from faintness aud exhaustion. land though
conscious Of his hazardous position could not
help himself until the rebs. had possession of
the ground and he taken PRISONER. His tes-
timony to the barbarity OF the rebels towards
Union prisoners corroborates what all who
have experienced the tender mercles Of the
" chivalIy," everywhere affirm Oaledonian.

The Rutland Herald thinks it Of no conse-
quence where candidates for public Offices are
located. provided the candidates are most fit
for the offices. On the other hand, we think
it is of no little importance to fnd such men
in the right places. The political machine
works with much less friction when all the
parts are nicely adjusted. The people Of the
various counties wish to share in public SER
vice and honors and when they present ft
men, It is wise to crafty the feeling. Again :;
the ancient rule dividing U. s. Senators and
State officers between eastern and western
Vermont reduces the number Of candidates
about one half, which is not small adyan-
tage in securing harmony. Vermont owes
much to this rule for its high reputation for
political stability.

RoTATIon IN OFFIoE.---It is possible tina.
the News Dealer and VI. Record will agree
with us as to rotation. Offices in this coun-
try are designed purely for the service Of the
public, and not as rewards for psrtizanship
or gifts to the pimps or favor.tes Of rulers ;
and therein our system and principle Of gov
eminent are distinguished from others. 1t
follows that the most honest, capable and ef-
icient officers ought to be retained in service
and rotated up,eard to places where they can
best serve the state while the incapable, or
unfsithful, or merely ornamental, should be
rotated out as speedily as possible. Rotation
on this rule is entirely consistent with the
organic principle Of popular government and
secures the best services whereas the rots-
tion. which candidates usually desire and
courtesy too often comedies, gives short terms
Of service and fills our Offices with inexperi-
eneed men-ever learning, and ever rotated
out before they have really mastered the du-
ties Of their station. This system dwarfs our
public men. lowers the dignity Of official sta
tions, and cheats the people out Of better SER
vice.

The rebel Gen. Joseph Il. Johnston has
published letter in the Charlotte IN. C.)

ed him to surrender his army. From this
letter it appears that on the day Of the con-
vention the whole number Of men in his army
was only 1858, and the number of effective
fighting men but l4,l79, the events in Vir-
ginia and the expectation Of surrender hav-
ing greatly reduced the army. There we're

ble Of resisting the Federal troops in those
States, while Gen. Candy and Gen. Wilson
were pursuing career Of uninterrupted sue
cess. To carry on the war, therefore, John
ston's army was the only dependence, and
the United States could have brought against
it twelve or fifteen times its number in the
armies Of Gems. Grant, Sherman and Candy.
With such odds against US, says the General
without the means of procuring ammunition
or repairing arms, without money or credit
to provide food, it was impossible to contin-

quence Of prolonging the struggle would only
have been the destruction or dispersion OF
our bravest men, and great suffering Of wom-
en- and children, by the desolation and ruin
inevitable from the marching Of two hundred
thousand men through the country. Conse-
quently he surrendered his forces to General
Sherman.

Mr. STANTON AND THE THIEyEs.-The
Washington correspondent of the Springfield
Republican has the following remarks on Mr..
Stantons method of dealing with thieves:
There is one good thing that Mr.. Stanton
is doing at least. He is economizing
in the public expenditures. Say that he is
rude, a boor sometimes, reckless and rash ;
yet add that he is the terror of thieves. l
know this to be true. All the thieves hate
Mr.. Stanton. | would not say that every
man that hates Mr.. Stanton is a thief; for
that is not true, but it is true that very
large portion of his enemies are persons who
have attempted to get their fingers into the
treasury in one way or another, and the ugly
Secretary has put his big-boots upon them.--
He is not always fair, that is the worst Of il.
and occasionally abuses an honest man.

CAN'T sE1 IT.-SOme weeks since abou,
dozen of the lager beer breweries OF
Pittsburgh were taken possession OF by
the U. s. authorities for violations of the
Internal Revenue law. The prOprietors,
at heavy cost, have finally succeeded in
again getting possession of their estab-
lishments, and have determined to make
the consumers of the beverage pay the
costs Of their suits. To accomplish this
they have advanced the price of beer to
the retailers. The saloon keepers, how
ever can see it, and refuse 10 purchase,
declaring that they will confne their sales
to ale and other liquors, and so the matter
rests at present. We would advise the
Pittsburgh men to send down to Wheeling
and get supply of good lager, sold by
dealers who do not attempt to violate the
Revenue laws, aud consequently are not
compelled TO raise the price.
