NAL. GEN. LA. MnWKR.

We clip the following from the New
York Tribune of the 9th inst:
"Gen. j. A. Mower has been assigned by Gen
Sheridan to the command of Louisiana, and is
an admirable appointment. Gen. Mower was
one of the officers appointed to investigate the
couse of the massacre in New-Orleans, and
one of the signers of the celebrated report He
served with distinct on during the war and has
the reputation of good fighter and prudent
and upright man."
Gen. MOWER is soldier of whom II
may be said that his promotions have moi
equaled his merits. AS lieutenant in the
regular army in command of company
stationed in Texas at the commencement
of the war, he refused to surrender his
men to the rebels on the order of Twiggs
but marched them through the enemys
country to the North. Appointed to the
command of a battery of siege guns, he
served them with splendid effect at New
Madrid, Mo, ,ensuring the capture of Island
No. 10. AS colonel of the Eleventh Mis-
souri, Infantry he won for himself and
Regiment noble reputation for gallantry.
He gained his star for conspicuous bra
very displayed at Corinth, Oct Sd and 4th
'63, while in command of the I'd brigade
of Stanley's division where he was wound
ed and taken prisoner, but escaped to give
Rosecranz the first intimation that Price
and Van Doren were retreating after their
magnificent but terribly unfortunate as
sault on the batteries. Vicksburg made
him major-General. Before and after the
Red River campaign-which was saved
from being total disaster by the skill
and courage of Gen. A. J. Smith and
Mower-he commanded the Ist division
of the 10th corps, and was in at the
death of the rebellion as chief of the goth
corps. He is a model officer, thor
ough gentleman, and as brave a soldier as
ever wore the blue.

WASHINGTON TOPICS.

1t is asserted that the President keeps a clerk
constantly employed culling from newspapers
and pasting in scrap-bo,ks what is said for and
against his policy.
A levy, or so called contribution has been
made upon the employees of the Custom House
Naval and Surveyors Offices, for the purpose
ofdefrsying copperhead election expenses.
The War Department has called for 47500O

Each head block is to be nine inches wide by
twelve long, with an inscription Of name, rank,
regiment and corps of the sleeper beneath, with
the date of his death.
The last monthly report of the Commission
er. of Emigration shows that in the year 1866
to October 81, the number of emigrauts who
have arrived at New York, is 2O2,l7O. Last
year. to the same date, I56,44I arrived. The
excess this year so far is 1929.

The Comptroller of the Currency announces
that bonds have been received for deposit with
the Treasurer of the United States to an amount
sufficient to secure the entire three hundred
millions of circulation of the National bank au-
thorized by law, and no more can be received
after this date. The limit has been reached,
and hereafter it will be useless to forward bonds
or to apply for increase of capital, or for the or
ganization of new banks, or to do ANYTHING
with the expectation of getting circulation notes

British Minister, Bruce has received by cable
an intimation that the English Government has
read with surprise the letter of Secretary Sew
ard, and through the Premier of the Queen s
Cabinet will send forward, in few DAYS, a
lengthy reply, in which strong grounds will be
taken against the right of the Secretary of State
to thus interfere in relation to Fenian prisoners.
While there is bare possibility that the SEN
tence of the prisoners would be commuted 10
Imprisonment for life, there is no probability
that they will be pardoned and set at liberty.

THE MEXICAN MUDDLE.

1t is natural we should feel some sort
of interest in the fate Of country so near
neighbor to us as Mexico; but the man
who can get himself "worked up" on the
subject is to be commiserated--as much
as he would be if he seriously undertook
to keep himself intelligibly posted in the
events now transpiring in that country.
1t is lamentable fact that there are a
great many very good people who don't
know whether Maximilian is whipping
Jaurez or Jaurez Maximilian, and what's
more, they don't care to know! Even
the most constant reader" will confess
to the objectionable ignorance of not
knowing on which side half the distin-
guished Generals whose unpronouncable
names are mentioned in the dispatches
are fighting. At the present time it ap-
pears that Maximilian is on the point of
closing up the affairs of his empire and
leaving the country. Some reports say
he has left, while other assert that he is
stalking the offensive in all parts, collect
ing taxes without trouble, and confscat-
ing the property of Liberals" This is
probably buncombe. Generals Canales,
Caravejal, Tamia, Ortega, Escobeda, ct. al.
have been fighting tremendously near
Vera Cruz, but whether against each 9TH
er or Maximilian, isn't so plain. Nobody
imagines Mexico is going to settle down
into an orderly, sensible state even after
Maximilian's departure. They'll be fight
ing somebody, and why need he be in a
hurry to leave! AS long as there is any
fight in him, he ought to crafty their
behgerent propensities. 1t will save some
body else the trouble. We can't see why
Santa Anna should be prevented from
going there. He is probably the most
completely used up old game-cock on the
continent; still, he could enter the ring
and by complicating matters, possibly lend
an additional interest to the muddle.

THE ELECTIONS.

The elections on Tuesday last resulted
in Republican successes generally, as il
was expected they would. The returns
cpme in slowly, and as yet are not sufic-
isntly full to enable us to give the accurate
figures, but it is enough to know that we
have carried all the States that voted, with
the exception of Maryland and Missouri.
In New YORK the vote was close, but
we carried the State by from 5000 to 10,
600 majority. The city gave heavier
Democratic majority than was expected,
reaching the enormous figure of $1,000.
John Morrisey and Fernando Wood are
elected to Congress. We lose three mem
bers in New York City and Brooklyn, but
gain three in other districts, so that the
Congressional delegation is the same as at
present, 20 Republicans to IL Democrats.
Gov. Fentonis elected, and a sufficient ma
jority in the Legislature to insure the Sc
lection of Republican U. S. Senator.
In NEW JERSEY we have made clean
sweep, gaining two Congressman, and
electing Republican Legislature which
will choose U. S. Senator.
In MARYLAND we probably lose the Bal
timore members, being loss of two. The
Democracy will have majority in the
Legislature, thus securing the election of
Gov. Swami to the Senate.
In Missouri so far as heard from we
gain one member of Congress.
In DELAWARE the Democracy have sue
ceeded, as usual, but by reduced majorities
In Kansas, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin
and Massachusetts we more than hold our
own.
The Congressional delegation in the
next Congress from the States which cleo
ted on Tuesday will stand seventy-one I'm
ion to twenty Johnsonites, against sixty
eight Union and twenty-three Johnsonites
in the present Congress. If this estimate
is correct the Union party have already
elected l3l representatives to the fortieth
Congress- two-thirds majority of the
House as at present constituted, and a
clear majority even if all the claimants of
seats from the rebel States are admitted.

BOUNTIEs AND PENSIONS.

In answer to numerous questions in re-
gard to the new Bounty and Pension Laws
we give the following information:
The Bounty act of July 2Sth, gives 500
additional bounty to all discharged sold
iers who have received or are entitled to
receive only 500 bounty under previous
Acts of Congress, provided they served
until the expiration of term of service or
until muster out of regiment, or were
discharged for s0Ou1ds received in action.
Those who enlisted for three years and
were discharged after two years service
aud before the expiration Of their term,

Child Bitten by Rnf.

A few nights since DIR. Dalgairns was called
to see child of Mr.. WaSley that was repre-
sented to be bleeding to death from some un-
known cause. On the Doctors arrival he
found the child bleeding prosuseiy from small
artery on the temple, which he promptly check.
ed. On inquiry. it was found that, soon after
retiring, Mrs. Walsey felt something pierce one
of her hands slightly, but thought nothing OF
the matter. Soon after small child in crib
near the bed commeced crying, as if in severe
pain. Mr. Walsey arose, quieted the child, and
again retired. A short time after, smaller
child, in bed with its parents, began to cry, and
was soon found to be bleeding from the head as
above stated. 1t appesred that rat had been
the cause of all the pain and blood. His rat
ship first made his attack on the hand of Mrs.
Walsey, then upon the child in the crib, and
finally upon the head of the infant, leaving the
marks of his teeth in several places on the tenn
pie of the atter.-Uincrdl Point Tribune.

A call has just been issued by Col. Dudley
Seward for Reunion of the Veteran Second
Cavalry at Cleveland on the 18th of December.
The regiment was recruited on the Reserve in
July and August, 1861, by Wade and Hutchins,
organized and mustered into service in Septem-
Der, and soon after was sent to the field. 1t

furnished the army one Major General, A. V.

THE RIGHT KIND OF A MOVE IN THE
SOUTH.

The first steps toward organizing the
Republican party in the South have re-
Gently been taken. The movement has
been inaugurated in Georgia, by the
Southern Loyalists, in the formation of a
central committee who will make it their
duty to perfect the details. 1t is possible
that this may not amount to anything,
still it is precisely what ought to be done
in the South. Missionary work is needed
there. The Southern people will never
become safely reconstructed till they are
educated. While money is being spent
SO plentifully to carry elections at the
North, it would be good thing to devote
somewhat of our means and energies, not
certainly to the securing of Republican
successes at the South, but to fostering
the growth of Republican ideas in that
section. There are Union men enough
in the South to form the nucleus of
progressive party in each State. These
men should be encouraged, assisted, and
made to feel Independent of the rufianly
influences which surround them. This
can be done by sending speakers and es-
tablishing presses among them, thus in
course of time learning the people there
the value of free speech. 1t will re-
quire but a short length of time to convince
them that it is not necessary to mob
man for expressing opinions distasteful to
them. So long as slavery existed, there
was of course no such thing as tolerating
free discussion. Now that there is no such
thing as slavery, there is really no OBJ
stacle to free speech. A new era has
dawned, in which Republican principles
have an open field and an equal chance.
Our missionaries ought to enter upon the
work. Newspapers and documents ought
to be circulated broadcast. The estab-
lishment of local journals would pay well.
The Northern intelligence, shrewdness,
enterprise and Uina characteristic of the
Republican press, would soon run out the
present race of Southern newspapers. 1t
would be common sense and industry in
competition with an affected style and a
contempt for labor. The stilted language
and laughable assumption of superior
learning which are and always have been
the traits of Southern journalism, would
become ridiculous in the estimation of
Southerners, and their influence would
amount TO nothing. Just now, with the
Administration on the side of the rebels,
pandering to their desires and keeping
all their old prejudices and animosities
alive, as well as rekindling their hopes of
power in the control of national affairs,
Republican Union party would make
but slow progress in revolutionizing pub
lie sentiment at the South; but the pres
ent drawbacks are only temporary. They
may hinder but cannot prevent the ad-
vance of true political ideas. We have
the most perfect faith in the power of civ
ilization, and therefore believe that even
the South will in time be educated up to
the right standard.

ABOUT JEFF DAvIs.-The parole granted to
jeff. Davis, some months ago, giving him the
privilege of the ground of the Fortress during
the day, has been extended through Executive
clemency, by removing all surveillance over
him and the guards from his rooms at night.
Instructions to this effect have been sent from
Washington to the commandant of the Fort,
thus dlvesting his imprisonment of anything
like severity and paving the way, as is gene
rally presumed, for final parole and release. All
the guards over him both during day and night
are being removed.
