The Removal of Sheridan

The order for the removal of Gen. Sheri- dan has at last been issued. He is to be succeeded by Gen. Thomas and the place of the latter in Tennessee is to be filled bv Hancock. S.eridan's successor, therefore. IS not an objectionable man but the change cannot but cause delay if not moro serious evil
 Every new commander has not only the special requirements of the locality, but the naen to learn. No sooner does he ar- rive i'll his department than he is over whelmed with a mountain of charges and eountcr-charges. demands and counter-de- mands, each sustained by clouds of witnes- ses, yet on which immediate action is re- quired. Tho result is not only much con- fusion and delay, but much unavoidable blundering.
 We cannot but regret, therefore, that the President has proved little enough to throw two Southern Departments into confusion, merely to gratify personal spite. Gone ral Sheridan, personally, gains much. He comes back from the South in 1867, as in 1865, the favorite of the people. Then, he had shown unmistakable military gen. jus. People might we'll have said that Win chester, Cedar Creek, and Five Forks, es- tablished great military reputation, and nothing more. Now, however, his inde- pendence, courage, excellent judgment, and unfinching patriotism in the dark days of the Great Riot, and of Johnsonism popular and triumphant, have proved his capacity for civil business, as we'll as en- deared him to the people. The energy and sagacity which made him tho most bril- liant and successful of our Generals, have made him the most successful of our Dis trict Commanders.

Upson, discoursed from Abra- hams tent life on the advantages attend ing such an escape from the despotism of fashion and custom, and of learning how little will supply our necessary wants; charg- ing them to take God-whom they could not escape-with them, and the Bible, and the Sabbath The exercises were closed with Coronation" and the "Doxology' ip long metre And may wo not hope, as the inspiring strains of those grand old chorals rang out over the waters-as the :; disciples of old may have sung by the Sea of Galilee-some one soul may have caught a vision of higher and nobler life, turned his feet from the path of sin and destruc. tion, and with Gods help live for new purpose and aim.
