ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE NAVY. - The
nomination, by the President, OF Hon. WILLIAM
FAxoN, Chief Clerk of the Navy Department, to
be Assistant Secretary will give general satisfac
tion. The system of appointing those who, from
long years of faithful service and experience are
best qualified to discharge the duties of posi-
ton, is one that will meet the popular approval.
In the present case, Mr.. FAxoN has eminertly
merited the honor, andis renowned as corteous
as we'll as most faithful public servant His
nomination will be, without doubt confirmed by
the Senate, and the public have an opportunity
TO hear from him in higher but not more hon
orable sphere. If he is as faithfulin his new
post as he was in his old, the most censorious
will be satisfied.

" THE VETERAN MUSTERED OUT"

The Father of American Warriors, the relic of
another age, and rugged monument Of victories
won half century ago, has at last fallen be-
meath the encroaching hand of Time. Lieute-
nant-General WINFIELD scoTr died suddenly
this morning.
The people will be shocked at the announce.
ment, not so much because Of any hope enter
tanned Of a continuance OF his already extended
life, but because we had brought ourselves to
believe that he would never de-we had been
so long accustomed to speak of him as living,
and likely to live. But now he has gone at last.
The old hero, the leader OF our war of 1912,
the chief against the Indians, the famous sol
der and poor statesman, has at last been called
to his long rest, Forgotten are the failures of
hislatter days forgotten the mistake of l96l-the
people only look upon one who, years and years
ago, was their General, and, at Lundy's Lane,
proved that prowess which was his, till age de.
stroyed his powers of action.
1t is for him they mourn, bat the grief will
be mitigated with the thought that he had
fought good fight, he had worked out his
problem of life, and, having reached the end,
quietly departed when all was done. He has
left u.s. full Of honors and years. He has seen his
country, for which he fought fifty years ago,
safe from all dangers of war; and now, like a
warrior weared, he has laid him down to sleep.

FORTRESS MONROE, May 26.-JefP. Davis shows
undisgulsed appreciation of his parole of the
fort. He has been out to-day as much as the
weather would permit, and made several calls.
He talks with undisguised irankness regarding
his expected trial, and places no credit in the
rumor that he will not be tried for several
months yet.
He certainly expresses himself more anxious
than ever that no such postponement will take
place. 1t is believed here, however, that there
Is good ground for the rumor; but in case OF such
postponement being agreed upon, it is thouoht
rhat he will be parnled and allowed to go home
till his trial takes place. The statement about
DR.. Cooper, in connection with receiving articles
wished to be sent here by jeff. DAVIS friends for
his use, is somewhat exaggerated. He expressed
such willingness as regards summer clothing
but stated that unless the clothing was sent
before the 1st of June it would probably be to
late, as Mr.. Davis would then probably he re-

On trail leading from John Reynor's ranch
10 Oak Bottom, about mile from the stage
road hence to the Tower House, in Murder

had been shot, his skull knocked in. and MS
throat cut. Inquiry reveals the following
circumstance: On Monday or Tuesday, de-
ceased was at Reynor's ranch for the purpose
of buying mining claim. The terms were
agreed upon, viz sl00 down and $50 to be
paid on subsequent day. Deceased ex-
amined his purse and found he had but So'.
and at once started across to Oak Bottom to
get money of his friends there and close the
trade. When found he had no money on
him. The better informed people of that re-
gion are of the opinion that he was waylaid
by his own countrymen, who knew he had
the money, and wos by them killed and
robbed. No white man would have so mu.

A NEW outrage is heing crpetrated upon
the South, say the Journals Of the Southern
States. by immigration thereto of Those con-
f,anded Yankees. In one locality, in Mis-
sissippi, we believe, majority of the cotton
planters are Yankees, who have had the
assurance to go in there and buy the best
lands. improve them. Build churches and
school houses. and make a wilderness of ruin
and Encouragement blossom as the rose. One
of the journals in question calls attention to
this startling state of things, and says en-
phatically, 1T must be stopped, else the
genuine Souttrons will be driven from their
homes, and their influence neutralized and
finally DESTROYED by those wooden nutmeg
peddling Yankees. IF it cannot be stopped
in any other way. then the people-the
Snu.hrons-must refuse to sell lands to the

Alexander w. Randall.

This gentleman has been nominated by
the President to the position of Postmaster
General. Under ordinary circumstances this
nomination should not be Objectionable to

Randall's political record since the cplmina-
ton Of the rebellion, and up to the incoming
of his Accidency, johnson. has been of the
radical stamp; but the writer Of this knows
"Alic"-knew him long, long years ago !;
knew him when he migrated from some place
IN New York to little one horse town in the
then Territory of Wisconsin called Prairie
vile, now known as Waukesha. where he
put out his shingle as Attorney at Law. He
was Whig then, that is, when he first ar
rived there; but Milwaukee county, in
which This town was situated. had weak
ness for giving heavy Democratic majorities.
a through that "mejum'' Alec saw that it
was all a mistake about his being Whig.
More mature deiberation, with gentle hints
from Bill Barstow and A. F. Pratt of that
ilk, satisfied him that he was only Wing in

of Whig and announced himself u Democrat,
and became one of the g ''Forties Ia political
clique known as the 8 Forty Thieves"
Immediately thereafter he solicited the Post

and on that platform was elected Governor Of
the State.
The writer, living in this State since 40,
is not familiar with the secret history OF
Aic's gubernatorial administration; but from
the public prints is induced to believe it was
satisfactory. The prominence he attained as
radical Union Governor obtained for him
the appointment to rhe position of Assistant
Postmaster General under Lincoln, and his
happy knack of adapting his political faith
to that of the powers that be- has secured
his nomination to the position of Postmaster
General.

making him a martyr. My plan would be
to make him ridiculous in The eyes Of the
