Gen. Lee as Commander-in-chief.
The country and the army will be
delighted to hear that Gen. Robert p:
Lee was on yesterday nominated by the
President and confirmed by the Senate,
as Commander-in-C Chief of the Confed-
crate armies. We donot doubt that he
win yield to the call thus made upon
him, and enter without delay upon his
enlarged sphere Of duty retaining per-
sonal command, however, Of the army
Of Northern Virginia. =
Let our whole people and our govern
ment, In all its departments, rally to
the support Of Gen. Lee in the position
to. which he has thus been appointed,
with alIthe resources and all the zeal
and energy at our command. Wemust
not expackhim tozdo our fighting, but
to dnectit.; MOTTO render unnecessary
our own efforts, but to encourage them,
and guide them, and apply them.
We stand on the threshold Of q stern
campaign. Soon we shall beebusy amid
it's trying scenes. Aswe love Our coun--
try, let us NOT lose another day Of those
which remain to US for preparation. :
Let the most efficient means be adopted
for gathering inIthe absentees from our
armies, for bringing in recruits fora
wholesome reorg animation, for.proyiding
supplies and munition, and for putting
forth all our whole strength We have
called General Lee to the command,
let us keep his eounsels and second his
efforts. 2: - - (.
We have the material for an admire
Bile campaign. We have a noble and
powerful army. We have q wide coun-
try. We have abundant supplies. We
are less straitened for: munitions after
four years Of war than We. were in the
first campaign. We can do great things
if we apply ourselves to the work like
men. We trust that every bickering
viii now be hushed, and that there will
be among Us only q noble emulation
which shall best serve his country, and
best support our leaders. edmond

Last Friday evening q squad of war;
worn veterans from the army Of Virgin;
ia, fsached our town. They remained
until Sunday morning when orders from
below FASTENED their departure.
After an hundred battles on Virginia
soil, these men have been called to the
defence Of their own State; and glad
the welcome South Carolina offers her
retarning veterans, II this her shonr of
sorestrial and peril. ::
Among them, were many, familiar
faces from our own District. They we're
received becomingly By our. citizens,
and their brave cheerful faces, lighted
up wonderfully the hearts ofah.
Let onr people remember that the au-
thoriies at Richmond have not forgot
ten them and that.many Of the absent
sonsofour dear old State are gathering
from other battle fields for her rescue.
They bring strong arms and brave
hearts to her defence. Many Of our
choicest jewels are here e-the dashing
eayalier-the brave rifeman, and artil-
lerist are gathered in battle array, to
bear the banner and shield of their
State, in defence of their own hearth
stones.

Congressional.

RIoHMoND, February The Sspate
has passed the Senate bill to abolish all the
offices of quartermasters and commissaries
on duty at posts and depots, and provide for
the appointment of Government agents 10
their places. The Act also repeals all au.
thority 70 detail persons between the ages oi
eighteen and forty. FIVE in said departments.
The Senate then resolved into secret session.
In the House, Mr.. Gholson, of Virginia,
submitted the following:
Resozoea, That the people ol the Con.
federate States have been and are now ready
to make peace on terms honorable to both
Fparties; yet it. is the judgment Of this
House, that while we should manifest q
willingness TO treat for peace, We should not
neglect to prepare vigorously for war.
Resozped, further, That, in the judg.
ment Of this House, the best preparation can
be made by using every effort to place at
once in the army every man liable under
our laws to render military service, BY cans.
ing the commissary s, qnarternaster's and
other detailed departments to be admins.
tered with renewed energy. s:Sss.
And Gen. Lee, having been made Gen:
eral.h-C Chief to assign to him our best and
most acceptable generals to command our
separate armies, and BY ceasing to agitate
the policy Of employing negro troops, amea-
sure which has already divided the public
sentiment and produced much dependency.
MIR. Gholson spoke at considerable length
in support of bis resolutions. He inciden'
tally paid tribute to the preas, which be
thought had accomplished more in aid Of
our struggle than a hundred fold its number

Youth AMI the opening rose
May look Ike things too glorious f0r decay,
And siaIIe thee-but thou ar; not Of these
That wait the rpened bloom % seize their prey
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wiiher at the :orth wind's breath,
And stars set-but all,
Tho1 hast all for thine own, OH Death
We know when moons shall wane,
When sumuer-birds from far shall cross the sea,
When AutulGn's hue shall tinge the golden grain
But who shall teach US when to look for thee'
Is it when Springs first gale
Comes forth whisper where the violets Iie'
Is itwhen roses in our paths grow paIel-
They have one season-GH are ours to die!
Thou art where blIows foam,
Thou art where music rnets upon the air;
Thou art around US in peaceful homo,
And the world calls Us forth-ani thou art there.
Thou art where friend friend,
Beneath the shadow of the elm
Thou art where foe meets foe, and trumpets rend
The skies and szoris down the princeIy crest
Leaves have their time fall,
Ani flowers wither at the north winds BREATH
And stars 20 set-bUt all,
Thou has: all seasons for thine own. oh Death.
