Release of Prisoners.

We observe in published list of rebel
prisoners lately released from Fort War
rem the names of two from this county,
Isaac Brethead and D. R. Protzman, who
the authorities have released and permit
ted to return to their homes.
1t seems to be the settled policy of the
Government to release all prisoners of war
below a certain rank, the parties so releas-
ed taking the prescribed oath, and then to
allow them to return to their homes and
resume their several callings in which
they were engaged previous TO the break
ing out of the war.
This humane and liberal policy, inau.
gurated by Gen. Grant in his terms of cap.
itulation to the army of Gen. Lee, when
that brave and heroic army laid down its
arms, and which has since governed the
surrender Of the entire rebel forces, no
matter whether in large or small bodies,
is the strongest evidence that those in au.
thority are anxious and willing to restore
things to their original status. If we are
to have Union, let us have the genuine
thing-no mockery. Let hearts and
hands, as we'll as country, be united, and
let our "erring brothers" whose "bomes"
and all they love best, are on the soil of
"My Maryland," come back in good faith,
under their several paroles, and so long as

A Humbug General.

The Cincinnati Commercial, decided
Republican journal, not having the fear Of
military commissions before its eyes,
makes bold to say:
We have pretty full report of the re-
marks of the Hon. Reverdy johnson be-
fore the military commission engaged in try
ing the alleged accomplices of Booth, the
assassin, and we can see nothing in what
he said justifyiug the observation of Gen
eral Hunter about "the humbug chivalry
of the South" "Mr. johnson is not
identified with that chivalry, and Mr..
Hunters utterance was uncalled for, I'M
dignifed, and wantonly insolent. off
there is any man in the United States who
assumes to be military man, who is
greater humbug than Hunter, he has not
been heard of; and Reverdy johnson is a
lawyer who could afford TO tell that court
that he was competent to form profess
sional opinion"

ditions, however, under which these rights
arise, seem to Impose on those who assert
them peculiar duties, or rather special OBJ
legations to the discharge of common du-
ties. They should strive for distinction
by economy, by industry, by sobriety, by
patient perseverance in we'll .doing, by con-
slant improvement of religious instruction,
and by the constant practice Of Christian
virtues. In this way they will surely over
come unjust hostility and convince even
the most prejudiced that the denial to
them of any right which citizens may
properly exercise is equally uuwise and
wrong. Our national experience has de-
moDstrated that public order reposcs most
securely on the broad base of universal
suffrage. 1t has proved also that uni
versal suffrage is the the surrst guarantee
and most powerful stimulus of individual,
social aud political progress. May it not
prove, moreover, in that work of reorgani-
cation which now engages the thoughts of
all patriotic men, the best reconciler of
the most comprehensive lenity with the
most perfect security and the most speedy
and certain revival of general prosperity
