What win become Of Lees Army.
Lee surrendered his army upon con-
dition that the officers should retain
their side-arms and personal baggage.
and the soldiers b permitted to return
home on parOl. sos to engage in ho,
sili,iss against the United State until
regularly exchanged.
Now. what will these men do? Will
they quietly 60 home and engage in any
Of the lawful pursuits of indus,ry!-
Some Of them doubtless will. Others,
feeling that matters are unsettled, will
not feel like returning to the quiet lab
ors Of life. Asd still others, who have
been educated 10 look upon labor as de-
grading. will feel more restless at home
than in the field. They have hereto.
fore had slaves 10 obey their beck and
nod and now that the slaves have had
. taste Of liberty they will be mex, to
unmanageabls. What will follow?
We shall no. be surprised if large
numbers Of Lees army go to Mexico.
Indeed. ve shall hardly wonder il j.

render was this very thing. The South

DEMOCRATIC ASSASSINATION exchange re-
marks that Booth could more fifty have called
for hurrahs for the Democratic party, than to
have repeated the Virginia motto when he leaped
to the stage, and the remark is entirely reasona-
bic. Day by day the country is being convinced
that the assassination of Lincoln was n @ Demo-
cratic" matchmaking less. Who doubts that
Valandingham, the Woods as well as Tod Rob-
inson, Berah Brown, Ridge. and their Trinity
kith, rejoiced in heart this - Democratic
murder. We invite reading of the following
from the La Crosse (Wis) Democrat of August
Goth, 1864. 1t is little more bold and damna-
bic language than the Democratic Press, or traitor
sympathizers in this county INDUCED in, but il is
to the same end - The man who votes for Lin
coin now is traitor. Lincoln is q traitor and
murderer. lie who pretending to war for, wars
against the Constitution of our country is Il
traitor, and Lincoln is one of those men. lie
who calls and alures men to certain butchcry, is
murderer, and Lincoln has done all this. Had
any former Democratic President warred upon
the Constitution or trifled with the destinies of
the Nation as i.;ncoln has, he would have been
hurled to perdition long since. And II he Is
elected to misgovern for another tour cars we
trust some bold hand will pierce his heart with
a dagger point for the public good.
", is very severe in its criticisms on Frank Pix
ey's great FIVE column speech in defense of the
Salvador pirates. The Sacramento Bee concludes
an article as follows:
We have heard his name mentioned as n sue
cessor to McDougall for the Senatorship. Heaven
forbid it, while Tod Robinson, llcydcnfelt, or
any other fearless, outspoken enemy OF the Adj
ministraton is alive. An open, avowed seces-
sionist is rattlesnake that gives you warning of
his presence the pretended Union man who
ISLANDERS the defenders of the flag that he may
make himself popular with secessionists, is the
silent viper that lies in the grass and bites your
heel Between the two, commend to us the for
mer there is candor in him at least.
The Auburn Stars and Stripes remarks as fol-
lows:
The speech of Frank Pixley, recently delivered
in San Francisco, as one of the counsel for the
Salrddor pirates, aptly illustrates the fact that
We should be cautious abont committing our
selves too far in advance in advocacy OF the
claims of individuals. Three months ago, if we
had been compelled to choose between the seye-
raj aspirants for Senatorial honors Mr.. Pxey
would have received our vote. In the speech
referred 10 he took occasion to pass high eulo-
gium upon the calamity. hcroi>m and courtesy

Navy" than whom = mider hammered men

are concerned, FRANK Pixey's political bung is
extracted. If. rs a lawyer, the protIer of a fee
would induce wanton an outrage of the feel
ings of his loyal fellow citizens, should dread
the effect OF hajH upon the future Senator.

The Reward of Valor.

We wish that some one who may possess
the requisite amount of influence would call
the attention of Congress to a subject which
has in this country been too much overlooked
We mean the institution of some national
order and badge of honor, to be conferred only
on those who shall have rendered faithful or
heroic service to the cause of their country or
OF humanity, to carry with it no political priv
ileges and no pecuniary profit but to be open
to the lowest as well as to the highest, to en-
title the private soldier to the same honors it
confers on the major-general, and to be re-
ceived everywhere as the special token of the
nations highest approval Something we
mean which should be in the ewes of the
American citizen as worthy and glorious a
prize as the "Leglon of Honor" offers to the
citizen of France. This order, instituted by
the first Napoleon and wisely maintained by his
successors, is in no sense an order of nobility il
carries with 1t neither political privilege, nor
pecuniary reward; yet the simple cross and
the bit of red ribbon which are its badge of
membership are esteemed among the most
glorious trophies which the Frenchman can
attain. No purchased or inherited honors can
compare in value with this modest decoration,
for it is the reward of personal merit, the visi-
Bile token of the nations approval, the swell
done, good and faithful servant" which France
bestows on the most deserving of her sons.
We believe that the institution of some such
order as this would have an admirable effect;
and we know, as in fact every one knows, that
there are plenty to be found who richly deserve
its honors. Congress has from time to time
authorized the preparation of medals as re-
wards for signal services on some special occa-
sions, but these are not the thing required
We would have something which should be
recognized as national and per manent, some
thing which should constitute OF itself an hon
orary rank, and the badge of which should enti-
tleits wearer, wherever the flag of the United
States shall wave, to the honors of a salute,
even though he were but a common soldier
or sailor, or the humblest of private citizens.
1t is quite easy to scoff at badges, medals and
decorations, as childish gauds which wise men
should not care for; but while the human
mind remains what it is it will not cease to
value these tokens OF what all men love to win,
the approval of their fellows. Ajudicious sys-
tenn ofrewards is a matter as well worthy the
attention of a wise government as any system
ofpenalties. We commend the matter to the
consideration of"whom it may concern" -
