Complim entary to Gen. Hancock.

jn Congress the other day the following
message Of President JOHNSON was read
The compliments paid to that brave soldier,
Gen. HANCOCK, are we'll canned and de-
served:
Gentlemen Of the Senate and House Of Rep
rcsentdtiucs
An official copy of the order issued by
Maj. Gen. " S. Hancock Commander Of
the Fifth Military District, dated Head
quarters, New Orleans, on the Goth day Of
November" has reached me through the
regular channels Of the War Department,
and | herewith communicate it to Congress
for such action as may seem proper. Ia
view OF all the circumstances it will be per-
ceived that Gen. Hancock announces that
he will make the law the rule OF his con-
duct, and that he will uphold the courts
and other civil author tiles in the perform
ance Of their proper duties, and that be
viii use his military power only to preserve
the peace and enforce law. lie declares
very explicitly that the sacred rights Of
trial by jury and privilege of writ Of hdJeas
corpus shall not be crushed out or trOdden
under foot. lie goes iurther, and in one
cOmprehensive sentence asserts that the
principles Of American liberty are still the
inheritance OF this people, and eyer should
be. NhUn great soldier, with unstralneI
power on his hands to oppress his fellow
men, voluntarily toregoes the chance OF
gratifying his selfish ambition and dcv0teS
himself TO the duty o. building up the lib
critics and streL gthening the laws Of

career he serupui0usay abstalued from yi0-
Iating the legal and constitutional rights of
his fellow citizens. When he surrendered
his commission to Congress the President
Of that body spoke his praise in saying he
had always regarded the rights Of the civil
authorities through all dangers and Gisas-
tiers, where power above the law courted
his accep eptance. lie calmly put temptation
aside. by such magnanlmOus acts OF Tor
bearance he was the universal admiration
Of mankind, and LETT a name which has 10
rival in the history Of the world.
| am far from saying that Gen. Hancock
is the only officer Of the American army
who is influenced by the example Of Wash

Slot the seduoe7 Oils Sister.

A man was tried in Salisbury, n. G., for
the murder OF John Rich. The prisoner
had an only sister, to whom he was de-
votedIy and tcaderly attached, and being
suddenly informed that she had been Sc
duced by Rich, and chat he (Rich) had
taken the advantage of her presence IN hi
own house to accomplish his designs upon
her, he Immediately, in a state OF mental
excitement amounting almost to frenzy,
rushed to tie house Of the deceased (three
and half miles distant and shot him.
inficting wounds Of which he soon after
died. He then returned and surrendered
himself to magistrate, remarking to him,
Il have killed John Rich. lie Seduced my
sister, whom | loved better than my
own soul, and tor whom [ was willing
to die"
The killing was admitted, and the plea
principally relied upon by the defense was,
that at the moment of the commission of
the deed his reason was so far dethroncd
by the shock occasiOned by the sudden an
nouncemcnt to him of his sister disgrace
as to render him irresponsible for the act,
and it was upon this ground doubtless,
that the jury, after celebrating for twenty
four hours, returned verdict Of not
guilty"

is to be followed by a period of ''hard

a similar state Of things exist in other

impeachment II Party Necessity.

Congress must meet in July. 1t must meet
with the resolute will to carry on the movement,
peaching and removing Andrew Johnson from the
Executive chair. If it does not do this, then the
war will have been in vain
Such is the virtuous indignation ex-
pressed by the New York Herald upon the
eral of the United States, in obedience to
his plain constitutional duty would, in his
forthcoming opinion, hold that the Com
manders of the Southern Military Districts
appoint others in their stead. This, too,
in advance of the opinion, and consequent
~ without any attempt to meet the reason
ing by which the law officer of tie Govern
mont arrived at this conclusion.
1t is but the pompous repetition of the
Radical argument, by which their party
purposes have been subserved and their
plans advanced. When the President, act
ing under the solemn responsibilities of his
official oath and position, interposes to stay
their violent infringements of the Con-
stitution and laws of the country, the cry
of impeachment is raised from every
quarter-if the South rejects propositions
submitted apparently in good faith to their
choice, and obviously to their dishonoE,
Confiscation " is Immediately taken up by
these same supernumeraries who have moth
ing else to do but to obey the promptings
of the Radical Congressional stage-mana
ayers in the great republican farce now be-
ing enacted.
For no other offence but commendable
modesty of his own judgment, and distrust
of his own Interpretation of important
laws, the impeachment of the President is
demanded by the leading Radical paper of
the United States. If Mr.. STANBERY had
been SO ignorant of the plain principles Of
law, or purehasable in the interests of the
"party progress" this action of the Presi-
dent would have been most proper-h the
decision of this official had been favorable
to the removal of all officers in the South
ern States, and the abrogation of all laws
for the protection of life and property-if,
by the power of removal and appointment,
all civil Jurisdiction could be usurped into
the hands of the District Commander, "or
into the hands of those who hold their ap-
pointments from him and subject to his
power of removal I'm word, if the au-
thority was given to these military officers to
drive or scare the Southern people into the
ranks of Radicalism-then will the Presi-
dent be permitted to continue in the exer.
else of his functions but if the law is to be
explained by the proper officer, and the
vagaries and animosities of officials re-
strained within proper imits-and finally,
llf the Radical party is not to have all the
