case Is particularly affecting. Leaving an
office to which he was elected as q Republi-
can, he won't to the army. In the army he
was early made General through the inau-
ence Of a distinguished Republican politi-
clan. Buthe chose to yield to the tempta-
tions offered by JonN A. GREEN, a militia
general of the creation of HoRATIo SEY-
NouR. And now he is rejected by the peo-
pie, and his grand record as a soldier almost
totally obscured by two months of defling
association with the left wing Of the rebel
lion.
The results Of the election suggest two
morals: First, to successful soldiers-sTAND
BY THE coLoRs second, to politicians-rRusr

TEsrMoNY.-The Charleston NswS argues
the negro testimony question thus:
But, if not necessary to the complete res
toraton of civil law, It has the still higher
merit of being right. There has been little
occasion hitherto for negro testimony. They
have had few points of contact with an ex-
ternal world. They traded little-had few
opportunities of collision with any other au-
thority than that in control of the place on
which they lived. From evils there they
were protected by considerations of interest,
and from evils abroad by the power, and,
when necessary, by the utmost resources of
the master. Under these circumstances,
their rights were seldom in question, and
when questioned were so abundantly guarded
by the intervening interests of 4 master that
it was seldom necessary for them to provide
the means of their own defence, and unne-
ccssary to be provided with the power of Ap-
pearsnce in court in competition with mem

occurred in the Provost Marshars Court in

Kirby, who resided near Hampstead, was in
court for the purpose of taking tho planter S
cotton oath, as it was called, preparatory to

THE story that the Government advortis-

The official advertising was given to the RE-

THE ELECTIONS.

Since the announcement Of the surrender
Of Mr.. ROBERT E. LEES horde of rebels, we
have had no such joyful news as that which
came to US this morning. The Copperhead
Democracy, accepting the situation" in
which it found itself upon the demise of its
principal-the late confederacy-and having
no other possible course open to it, averred
itself to be the only true and gen
e party. OF the Administration.
From denouncing Mr.. JOHNSON as Gov
ernor and as Vice President, in terms too
vile to be repeated in the columns of any re-
spectacle journal, the party organs in New
York and New Jersey have turned with the
agility which characterized the political
movements OF Brigadier DowSRTGHT-the
eminent statesman of the Republic of Leap
low-to proelaiming themselves AZ the au-
thorized expounders OF his principles, and as
the peculiar guardians Of his conscience
They denounced all manner Of radicalism,
and they persistently represented the Repub-
hcans TO be the deadiiest enemies oil the
policy OF the President That policy they
claimed to enunciatei they constructed res
olutions very nearly resembling those Of Re-
publican conventions indeed, extremely
well calculated to deceive. Many remarks
made by the President, as well as many more
he did not make, were so twisted that they
were expected to serve the purpose ofcheating
some people into the belief that the Presi
dent had really deserted the men who had
stood by him as senator-who reclaimed tor
him his home-who protected him as Mill
tary Governor OF his State, and who finally

The PIRATIcAL DEPREDATIoNs.-A pett-
tion to Secretary Seward is circulating in
Boston, and has already received the sigma
lures of some of the largest ship-owners of
that city, praying him not to press our claims
on the British Government for the depreda-
tions of the Anglo-reboD pirates. The peti-
ton states that whom England becomes in
volved in war, which cannot be far distant,
the position which her government has unken
in regard to the fitting out of rebel pirates,
if allowed to stand as prscedent, will give
us such an advantage that we can, by fur
nishing privatsers for her adversary, inaict
greater than that she has allowed to be in,
hicted on ours.

REBEL OEsPoSDENcY. - Immediately
following the news of the abandonment of
the rebel cause, the following article from
the Richmond Examiner, Of March 9TH,
may perhaps be considered somewhat out
Of date. 1t goes to show. however, the
hopes the rebels had, month ago, of the
ultimate success Of their cause:
The Queen of England's speech Tor,
rather Lord Palmerston's), to the Par'ia-
ment, on its assembling, has but one short
reference to the war on our Continent. I,
still persists in giving to this struggle the
name of a civil war, which is another
name for rebellion; it declares that her
Majesty remains " steadfastly neutral,
and states that she would rejoice at q
friendly reconciliation" The word recon,
Citation. you observe, is carefully chosen
as having no particular meaning. Tha
word would fit equally well any possible
termination of the war, whether BY re-
construction, or by peace which should
acknowledge the independence OF the Con.
federacy. The whole may be taken a:
mere words, of course-a commonplace
expression of good wishes to both partie:
fromA distant spectator; and 1t is ooserV,
able that the cold and well-weigheo
language Indicates only one thing very
clearly-tAGt zoe hacs hot, at the end Of foI1
years ,oar, Sdra,sced one single step toacard
Official recognition. In fact, the words Of
the speech, as well as the actions OF the
Government, are also decidedly in that
very same line of " steadfast neutrality
which has heretofore given all its adyan-
tAges 10 ons side.
