COMMUNICATED.
Marshal HPPhaiI

Nov that the rebellion isover We should not be un-
mindful of those who, in the perlOus days of our
history did much to preserve the order of the city
and trustrate the machinationS of designing dema-
gogues who, if they could, would have plunged the
whole State into the vortex of secession. Of these
few deserve more credit than Marshal .McPhaii,
and there is no better evidence of his unbend-
ing loyalty and his zeal and energy, in ferretting
out and exposing treason, than the hostility he has
incurred from certain class. 1t is unnecessary to
review the imp ortant part he bore in city affairs in
the beginning OF the war, the Chief Of the Balii
more POLICE. appointed by the military commandant
refused to appoint loyal man to succeed Marshal
Kane.
Subsequently, at the suggestion of several dstin-
guished citizens of Maryland. Mr.. icPhal was ap-
pointed by the Secretary of War Provost Marshal
General of Maryland. For three years or iaore he
discharged the duties of this delicate and important
position to the entire satisfaction of the Government
and all loyal men. The war has now brought the
official relations of Mr.. McPhal to close, and it
does seem to the writer that there should be Oppor
tuniy IN some other department for the exercise of
those peculiar qualities of irmness energy and in
telligence which distinguished him in the important
office alluded to.
These views are presented voluntary tribute
to an officer who deserves well of his State and
country. UNION.
