'The Burulug of CitIe..

We find the following mild, kind
and genial paragraph in the Colum.
bus Journal. the central Administra-
ton organ Of this State. In speaking
Of the surrender Of Charleston, it
saye: .]'.r.- ~ ni'.t $50.
The city was fired in several pla-
ces, and it was judged that two thirds
Of 1t would be utterly destroyed be-
fore the progress Of the flames could
be stayed. Why loyal soldiers should
have been set to the task of checking
the progress of the fire, excites our
special wonder. LET THE FLAMES
PROCEED, which the rebels have
kindled, Nhtil not veStige Of the
nest of rebellion shall remsinl Let
it's foundations be removed ! Let it
be blotted from themap Of a civilized
country Let it be thoroughly
sIewn with salt, and given to perpet.
ual steriity and desolation land its
name be given to fOrgetfulness and
oblivionl 1..'L ap'"r.tsaH !.
The idea Of utterly destroying
Charleston --blotting il out and strew,
ing it with salt-is not original with
the editor Of the Joarnal, bat is bor-
rowed from Attila, the leader Of the
Northern Barbarians, as they were
called. swhoy in fifssenlfs- -6entuTSs

He boasted that nothing could grow
where HE horses hoofs had been.--
He is known in history as an infa-
nous monster and as a "scouIge" Of
God. In comparison with the Ian.
guage of the journal, we give that Of
Old John Adams, whom Thomas
Jefferson called the Colossus OF
American independence in the old

THE SECRETARY OF WAR.-Genr Gilmore
dedicates his recent report to "The Honorable
Edwin nj. Stanton, for his truth and candor
as man, his purity as patriot, and his wig
dom, energy, and justice as public officer"
This is a well earned compliment. Even the
enemies OF Mr.. stanton, and the maicontents
who have their grievances to complain of, must
admit that he has not even been charged with
official corruption, suspected Of seeking politi-
cal advancement, or accused Of countenancing
any frauds upon the Government.
Those disposed to judge candidly will go
further than this, and praise warmly the ex.
ecutiye ability, untiring zeal and diligence,
straightfor ward frankness and fearless moral
courage, which have characterized the ad-
miDistration of the most complicated, extern
sivr, and responsible departments of the Fed

Secretary of War must always be a we'll
