The Removal Of Gen, Sheridan.

The Washington correspondent Of
the New York UcraM writes as follows
under date Of the Sd instant:
It's rumorcd to-day that the order
removing General Sheridan had been
issued by President Johnson. / have
it on the best authority that such IS not
tho lact; but have good reason to be.
llevc that the order is all ready, and
would have been issued some time ago
but for somo little hi:ch that has not
yet been removed. After all, believe
that there is Il lack OF backbone m quar-
tcrs where great stiffness was expected.
Combinations have been formed that
cmbarrass tho Prcsidcn. in his policy
and render him uncertain how to act,
whether to push forward boldly or to
rcccde.
1t is rumorcd now that there is a
detection in the Cabinet, and that an.
other member besides Stanton has kick.
cd against the anti.Shcrldan policy
However this may be, | believe the
President will not yield in his dctermi-
nation TO remove "Littlc Phil" Tho
order will assign as q cause for the
step that Sheridan himsclfls an mpcdi-
mcnt in the way Of rational aud consti-
tutional reconstruction, and that, there
fore, he should be removed in tho same
way that Sheridan himself removed

TOUCHING, and Beautiful

Last week we published the admi-
rablc poem Of Rev. ". Hampstead, on
"Gcttysburg." Though somewhat
lengthy VIC trust the readers of the
/lind rcruscd it carefully. 1t isa
gem throughout. The following allu-
sion to q Confederate soldier, found
dead upon the battle field, cannot, we
think, fail to bring tears to the eyes
of at least every patriot iu the South:
When The roar
or battle on The car fell faint, and skies
And arms and fighting men grew shadow
Through deaths dull film, did not vision
rise
otlistant hills, smooth fields and shaded
walks,
OF singing watcrs and q quiet homo
With fair browcd children standing on The
Summed in mothers smile Then would
l'avo turncd from al the gnuds Of victory,
And all The slaves that Mammon's gold Ger
bought
lfhis young babo might lay lis silkcn
check
Against his own and give him one more
kiss
Scarcely any other man living,
could in our estimation, express Il
thought or fact 50 beautifully and
touchingly. Read it over and over
again, and apply it to yourself.

The conduct Of Prussia is, after all,
not difficult to explain. 1t is ncccssa-
