Gov. Andrew, of Massachusetts, has,
through the columns of the Boston i'd
rertiser, seconded an anonymous motion
in that journal, that an Equestrian
Statue be raised In honor of Col. Robert
G. Shaw, who fell at Fort Wagner. II
will he recollected that Colonel Shaw
commanded regiment of negroes--one
of the earliest sent into the tield-and
| that he ana his men were among the
most conspicuous in the assault upon the
deiences of Charleston. He and his
| companions have been much praised for
| their services on the occasion ; but there
was nothing extraordinary in their con-
duct, except, perhaps, an undue regard
for life. General George G. Strong was
MORALLY wounded in this fight, but no
one hints at an Equestrian Statue for
him. Nor is q sculptured monument to
Gen. Thomas G. Stevenson-the first
Colonel of the famous 9th Massachu-
sets rogiment-mentioned in token of
the heroic services of that brave young
soldier. He came nearer representing
the blest blood Of New England, than
any commander from that section of the
country, and certainly the circumstance
that his troops were white men should
not stand in the way Of due honor to
his memory. But we turn away from
this strife, which is so taking in some
quarters just now, to give all the earthly
Immortality to the negroes. After all,
what is this worlds homage in any
orm worth? What is gloryo
IT'S something. nothing, words, Illusion, Wind,
Depending more upon the historians style,
Than on the name person leaves behind.

| asst half century, is now Fostering the
President to pardon Beauregard.. The
fault with some people is that they offer
their influence when they really possess
none. 1t is highly probable that Mr..
Johnson knows Beauregard quite as
we'll as Mrs. .eveft, OF any other pre-
tended literary lioness, who Is cternally
fishing for newspaper notoriety. These
sort of people are more troublesome than
any other specie of quacks or charlatans
known to the press. Hotel keepers,
theatrical managers, railroad conductors
and steamboat captains, are greatly
bothered by them too, as they generally
claim the privilege of "chalking" their
bonnets. People who proffer the loan
of their influence had better first ascer-
tain whether they have more than
they need for their own consumption.
