military career will soon be said Of his course

Yankee trick-ss cell, o swindle-and the people of
the United States, so-called, are to-day no more

= Speaking of the nomination Of Stanton for
President, tire St. Louis Republican would like to
know whether, sin case he is elected, he would
lay claim to the privilege of appointing his own
Secretary of War. Should he presume upon the
exercise of such authority, would his party sustain
him."
: The New York Journal Of Commerce alludes
to the extraordinary proclivty of the Southern
military commanders for publishing orders, and
very long ones, and pronounces ''too much order
