MIR. sTANTON TO GO TO SPAIN.
AND GENERAL SHERMAN TO
GO INTO THE WAR OFFICE.

GO INTO THE WAR OFFICE.
The above heading indicates the substance
OF severed terrific Washington dispatches
that recently appeared in the New York
Times. Knowing that they were mere fancy
work. we frankly said SO. The correspond.
ent Of the Times, discovering the error Of
his ways, tries to wriggle out of his position
thus:
| "Gen SHERMAN is here, as said he would
be, in response to the Presidents request.
just what will be done with him / hope to
tell you IN a day or t,cor'
This is an astonishing hint To anticipate
the astute correspondent we will inform him
what Gen. SHERMAN will do with himself
He will 60 to st. Louis in day or two, and
in about ten days hence, accompanied by
Gen. GRANT, he will attend the meeting Of
the Society Of the Army of Tennessee" at
Cincinnati. The Times correspondent, in
order to break his fall in retreating from his
silly predictions that THE PRESIDENT was
about to take a subordinate Of Gen. GRAxr
and place him in the War Office ouer his
Generalin- Chief says:
eNiA. ohohs Wouu DC u UttcT UtuU lOT
Acting Secretary of War, phen Mr.. Stanton
goes out, than Gen. Sherman, and believe
the latter has very little inclination to accept
the position, though he will comply, Of course,
if the President insists"
Just so. But Mr.. STANTON has not gone
out, nor does THE PRESIDENT insist"
Again: the astute Times correspondent
says:
whoever takes II [the War Officel is not
likely to hold 1t beyond the 4th Of March
next"
There's wisdom! Pray what has the 4th
Of March to do with Gen. GRANT or Gen.
SHERMAN if the Commander-in-C Chief orders
either to duty in the War Office Neither
Of the Generals named needs confirmation.
Who or yhat is this "4th of March that it
is set up as "scare crow" for correspond
ents2
1t will be recollected that this same cor
respondent stated that Mr.. STANTON has
asked to be relieved, and requested to be
sent as Minister to Spain, in place of his old
friend, Ex-senator HALE. Now, this CORE
spondent, having become enlightened through
the columns Of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
announces to the intelligent readers Of the
Times as follows:
Pertinent to the withdrawal of Secretary
Stanton, wish to say in justice to him that
the statement that he had expressed desire
to be sent as Minister to Spain, is incorrect.
1t is quite possible that the President intends
to tender him that mission. But that he de-
sires to 60 there, or to any other foreign
Court, is mistake"
Our readers will perceive that the cor
respondent inflated q monster bubble, dis
played it before the public, and has thus ex-
ploded it with his own pen.

DEAUF OF THE ONLY DAUGHTER
OF SECRETARY SEWARD.

It is our painful duty to announce, else.
where, the death Of Miss FRANCES A. SEWARD,
the only daughter Of Honorable WILLIAM
II. SEWARD, Secretary Of State.
She has joined her sainted mother, and is at
rest Her venerable father, her brothers, and
friends who mourn her departure have the
sympathy Of all good people throughout the
land. FANNY was Mr.. SEwARD's youngest
child. Like good father, he had no "favor.
ite child but the fact that she was the
youngest Of bis family and the only daughter
made the relations between them exceed
ingly tender and close. Her nature was un-
usually affectionate, and she always found in
her father an inexhaustible depth Of love.
Since the death Of her mother, the intensity
of this relation has been constantly increas-
ing. Death has snapped the cord. With an
intelligent mind, she appreciated properly
and understood well the great questions Of
the time and her fathers position. The at
tempt to assassinate her father and brother
and the succeeding events, seriously i'm.
paired her sensitive and delicate constitu-
ton.
These, with the death of her mother were
greater burden than her frail organization
could bear Truly it may be said that the
assassin's blows passed by the father and son
and fell fatally on the mother and daughter.
The country at large is interested in this sad
event, otherwise we might not enter thus the
precincts of private relations. Mr.. SEWARD
has earned the first place in the hearts Of his
countrymen, and whatever affects him they
keenly feel. Serving his country at such i'm
mense sacrifices and with such entire unsef:
ishness, every scene and event in his life have
come to be regarded as part Of the life Of
the Republic. So, as we said in the begin
ming, the sympathies of all good people go
out to meet and mingle with those of his
family and nearest friends. God bless, pre-
serve, and sustain WILLIAM II. SEWARD in
this hour Of his deep affection.

The Department of Agriculture has re-
ceived, through Horace D. Dunn, Esq. of
San Francisco, California, redwood plank,
which is now on exhibition in the museum of
the Department. This extraordinary plank
was donated to the museum of the Depart.
ment by the firm OF Mcpherson & Wether.
bee, of San Francisco, and is thought to be
the largest ever sawed at any mill in the
world. The firm was offered the sum OF
5000 for it, to send to France, but preferred
to keep it on this side of the Atlantic. The
plank is seven feet five inches wide, and
twelve feet long, clear in grain, and without
knot or blemish. This plank is interesting
as specimen Of the immense growth Of the
redwood timber which abounds in The
