The Mobile correspondent of the New

mention of Gen. BENTON who has many
friends in this part of the country:
Brigadier General Benton, in COM
mand of the Sd Division, as his command
become acquainted with him, rises in
their estimation as a brave and thorough
officer, vigilant and active, awake day
and night, seeing that everything is well
done; riding all over his lines. nothing
is omitted and every thing is attended to
at the proper season. / hope by the
time 4he enemy is captured the General
will have his merited promotion. and his
shoulder straps have added to them an
other star.
Lieutenant Colonel Patterson, Chief
of Staff to Gen. Benton, is another of the
brave officers of his command. His
fine personal appearance and martial
bearing Oh the battle field. IS spoken of
by all who have seen him, in the highest
terms,

Attorney Generals Opinion.

Attorney Gen. SPEED, has given an
opinion on Lees capitulation, which will
commend itself to all. 1t appears from
Secretary Stanton's statement that since
the equalization, rebel officers have APP
peared in their uniform within the loyal
States. And upon this fact, the question
arises whether such conduct is not an
act of hostility. The Attorney General
reaches conclusion upon the subject
without any apparent hesitancy, which
may be summed up as follows: 1st.
That the rebel officers who surrendered
to Grant have no homes in loyal States,
and have no right to come to places with
in those where their homes were prior
to going into the rebellion. ID. That
persons in the civil service of the rebel
lion, and have otherwise given aid, com
fort or support, were residents of rebel
territory, and had no right to return to
Washington under that stipulation. 3D.
Rebel officers have no right to wear their
uniforms in the loyal States; they have
as much right to bear the rebel flag
through the streets of a city as to wear
the traitors garb-it is an act of hostil-
ify

An Eloquent Tribute.

Henry Ward Beecher concluded his
memorable sermon on the assassination
of Lincoln with the following magnificent
peroration:
..And now the martyr is moving in
triumphal march, mighticr than when
alive. The nation rises up at every
stage of his coming. Cities and States
are his pail bearers and the cannon
speaks the hours with solemn progress
ion. Dead, dead, dead, he yet speaketh.
Is Washington dead Is Hampden
dead? Is David dead Is any man
that was ever fit to ike dead? Olsen
thralled of flesh, risen to the unobstruct-
ed sphere where passion never comes,
he begins his illimitable work. His life
is now grated upon the infinite, and will
be fruitful, as no earthly fruit an be.
Pass on, thou that hast overcome =
Your sorrows, Oh people, are his peans !;
your bells and mufiled drums sound
triumph in his ears. Wall and weep
here; God makes it echo JOY and triumph
there. Pass on! Four years ago, Oh
Illinois, we took from thy midst an
untried man, and from among the people;
we return him to you q mighty conqueror.
Not thine any more, but the nations :;
not ours, but the worlds. Give him
place, Oh We praires. In the midst of
this great continent his dust shall rest, a
sacred treasure to .myriads who shall
pilgrim to that shiine, to kindle anew
their zeal and patriotism. Ye winds that
move over the mighty places of the
West, chant his requiem! Yepeople,
behold the martyr whose blood, as so
many articulate words, pleads for fdeli-
ty, for law, for liberty.'
