N-On the list of brevet promo
tons recommended by the Army
Board, recently in session at st. Louis.
we notice the name of Gen. Thomas
J. Wood, now commanding this De-
partment, who is recommended for
promotion to the rank of Major Gen
eral in the regular army, for merito-
rious and gallant service at the con
test around Nashville, when Gen.
Hood made his advance on that place
We know nothing of the merits of
General Wood as an officer of the u.
). Army in the late contest, except from
the reports of his superior officers !;
bat this we do know, that if gentle
manly bearing towards the people he
is set over under orders, and high
toned and liberal consideration for the
feelings of a brave but vanquished
people, entitle man to be regarded as
worthy of promotion, he is eminently
deserving of consideration. Whether
it is so regarded at Washington, we
know not-Vicksburg Herald.

The CARRoLLToN RESOLUTIONS
Our readers all over the country will
thank US for publishing this week the
proceedings Of large and interesting
meeting, held at Carrollton a few
weeks since. The resolutions adop-
ted by the meeting must commend
themselves to the better judgment of
every well thinking man. 1t is our
good fortune to be personally &C
quainted with most of the men who
figured in that meeting, and know
them to be among the best and most
substantial citizens of that county.
This fact alone, must have its weight,
and together with the plain, pos
tive and unequivocal expression
of their opinions and sentiments in
these trying times, will go far towards
allaying the terrible distrust that now
pervades the minds of both creditors
and debtors. We commend these res
olutions to the people of this county.

Mobile celebrated their forty seventh
anniversary last Friday night by an
Illuminated procession, which, from

their Fire Company "Creole No. l."

The Tribune says:
In the procession last night were
five of the members who aided in or

The Journal on Saturday contained
an article nearly two columns in
length, made up principally from
Daniel Webster, to prove that the

heresy. The editor might have made
his argument as effective and much
shorter by simply pointing to the re-
suit of the late war for Santherh. in
dependence Whether the doctrine of
secession was a political heresy or
not, the war has shown that it is an
impraeticable doctrine which four
