The COLLEGIATE Rolls OF HoNoR-THr Ma
rxRrAr. or OUR ARNEs.-The colleges are this
year making great feature in their commence
ment ceremonies by doing honor 10 such Of their
former graduates as have served In the army.
Harvard, Union and Yale hold up with COM
mendable pride their respective rolls Of honor,
and point to the hundreds Of their students
who have served the country in every grade,
some Is privates, some as major generals.
Before the Alma Mater they are oil heroes
alike; all have used the lessons taught with
noble appreciation Of the purpose Of all teach
ing; all have risked their lives In the common
cause; and while, perhaps, the learned faculty
bows little lower for the stars Of the major
general, the simple hero out Of the ranks finds
the appreciation Of his services 90 warm and
complete that be feels repaid for all his suf-
ferings and struggles.
This is lust Is II should be, and the colleges
do admirably in thus honoring the. heroes who
have honoped them. This circumstance is use
full also as giving one more indication Of the
character Of our soldiers. 1t shows how
largely the soldiers that have saved the coun.
try were drawn from all classes Of our
American society. England, France, Prussia
Austria, Russia, all draw the materials Of the
rank and ale from tho laboring classes and
their armies are entirely made up Of
the poorer classes Of their people. They
are 10 large degree stolid. bruts

THE SITUATION.

The despatch from Huntsville Alabama Of one Of the
HERALD correspondents giving very interesting sketch
OF the condition of the country and Of the present
political feeling there presents a picture in
no way nattering TO the loyalty, or rather
dsloyalty, Of such Of the people Of that State
rs took part in the rebellion. At FIRST, on finding
that all was over with their Southern confederacy they
felt themselves completely Inundated and subugated,
and were loud In their calls this national government
and It's officers for mercy But magnanimous treatment
appears 10 have spoiled them, and they again be-
coming - overbearing and imperious in their
demands a. ever, and now, instead Of being con-
tented with privileges, Kaughtly claim "ther rights"
Our correspondent rays that their hatred Of the
national government still intense ever and they
arc determined control their State In the old secession
and rebel interest They will probably learn the Of
their ways before long Their new Governor, Mr.. Par
sons II appears has already the mistake in this
line Of conduct. Only about week previous to his
appointment in o speech at Huntsville, no con-
tended that the negroes no, free, the Emanci
patton Proclamation was only q military measure,
and the constitutional amendment aboshns slavery hsd
not yet been ratified by the necessary number Of States
and in his opinion would not be. These sentiments
were received with immense applause by the people, who
for some time after rolled them sweet morses under
their tongues" Governor Parsons has since emphas'

State Is forever dead

wretchcs, whose lives, from one end TO the
other, are never Illuminated by al idea. Fren
when it is pretended that they draw som all
classes of society alike 1t is certain that al but
the very poorest which are the lowest, escape
the burden of the service.
But here we see that the men of the highest
intelligence, the graduates of the great col
leges, were equally ready to serve the country
with the laborer and the mechanic. And these
men gave tone to their messes, squads and
companies They made the best Of soldiers,
because they looked at their duties intelli-
gently, and they communicated this intelligent
spirit to their comrades. II was this that made
our armies the admirable organizations they
were, and that made it impossible to democrat
ize them, even when defeats were piled upon
one another until the cause seemed desperate.
The bayonets thought, they saw the reason
always, and they never lost that hope and
faith in the cause that made them conquerors.
And this will always be the difference between
American armies and European armies: there
is only stolid, brute force in one, and there is
intelligence in the other. And this intelli-
gence, this reasoning sense Of discipline and
duty, will make us invincible il it shall be
necessary for us to fight armies from the other
side Of the Atlantic.

the double-ender Algonquin is better or worse
than other ships Of her class, built by different
makers, proposed trial which should bring
that vessel "into comparison with one Of her

lenged to trial by an open race over given
course, each ship to carry the same amount Of
coal, and the two to run until the coal Of one
ship should be exhausted, and that ship then
to be towed in by the other. This would have
been spirited affair, and would have fixed
very distinctly in the popular mind who was
the victor. II Is Q pity that the Navy Depart
ment did not accept 1t just ss II was made.

The Legislature, at its last session, in an act
providing for the laying out Of the upper por
ton of the city, very judiciously conferred
upon the Park Commissioners authority to
establish the grade of the Sixth avenue from
10th street to the Harlem river, and all the
intermediate streets, extending to the Seventh
avenue. The Common Council, however, either
ignorant of that fact or determined to seize upon
valuable job in disregard Of law, adopted, on
the 18th instant an Ordinance, d Subsequently
signed BY tho Mayor. directing the Street Com
missioner to advertise :or proposals for the
grading and regulation Of the Sixth avenue
from 10th street to the Hariem liver: Since
the Commissioners of the Park, under the pro-
visions of previous act, are now engaged in
fixing the grade of the Seventh avenue, it Is
obviously important that it should be made to
harmonic with that Of the Sixth avenue, and
any interference or conflict of authority can
only result to the serious damage and expense
of the property owners, and in marring the
beauty and utility of those noble avenues. On
inquiry we are gratified to learn that the Cor
has communicated with the Street Depart
ment on the subject, and the public, at least
in this instance, are likely to be protected from
municipal ignorance or cupidity.
THE MRRcANrILE BANK AND THE BRITISH
JURY.--Mr. Charles Windsor, formerly paying
teller of the Mercantile Bank of this city, was
recently tried before q London jury. He left
the city suddenly, it will be remembered, at
about the same time that the bank missed the
sum of three hundred thousand dollars in
greenbacks and gold. His friends felt hurt at
the imputation that he had taken the money;
and the public were assured that the occasion
of his sudden departure was bis consciousness
that the bank officers had him in their power
and would ruin him--but not q consciousness
of guilt The London jury, however, having
heard all the facts, found Mr.. Windsor guilty Of
theft. So that settles the question as to the
tender feelings of his friends. The jury, hav-
ing done its duty very well so far, then went
out of its way to perpetrate piece Of Bunsby-
ism in the acknowledged style of that great
institution, British jury. 1t censured the
bank for the lax manner in which it did bust
ness, and the censure may have been de-
served; but the GOODNESS of the jury in the
matter 10 none the less remarkable. Only
imagine the British superiority with which they
hurl their sheer at our American bank three
thousand miles away. With what calm COM
placency they seem to invite a contrast be-
tween such management and the management
Of British banks. Was there ever an instance
known in which an English bank was robbed
by dishonest employer We have some faint
recollection of hearing Of such cases involving
very large amounts of money. We have also
heard of "laxity" in other high quarters in
England-even going as high a. Lord Chancel-
lor. But this British jury, with It's little remark
abous the Mercantile Bank, apparently never
heard of those cases.

How TO TAKE UP TREEs.-One Of the
speakers, at recent meeting Of agricultu-
rists in New Haven, Conn.,, gave the fol-

from nurseries. He said, "An enormous
amount Of money is annually lost TO tree
purchasers from rude and unskillfhl TAX
ing up. Trees are torn up by the roots,
rs il the trunk and branches were the one
thing necessary, and theroo,s superfuous.
The proper way is, to open trench on
each side of the tree with a common
spade, keeping The edge sowards the tree,
SO rs not TO cross root. These trenches
should be far enough from the tree TO
avoid The main roots, and deep enough TO
go below all except the tap root, which
may be cut off. This being done, the
tree may be pulled up with its roots en-
