their woes.
ANoTnER MAssAcRE.--The Now
York Times (Rcpublican) thus notices
a movement in Congress disown!ng
the South
The resolution Of Mr.. Schcnck,
which has passed the House by l0s
yeas to 35 nays, to provide for an in
1uiry into the proprioty of an iume-
iiato removal of tho United States
Naval Academy from its present loca-
tion in tho State of Maryland to some
point in u loyal State, whore tho pu-
pills of the Institution will be secure
against tho surroundings of pestilent
and social influences hostile to the Ma.
tionul Government which HOW predom-
mates at Annapolis, indicates that
Congress intends to regard and treat
,hc whole Of the Southern States rs a
power permanently hostile to tho
Governments power to be dealt with
Is in all respects an enemy of tho
North, and to be warred upon in all
possible ways. ar.
If Maryland is at this day to be
created as n "disloyal" State if its So
oial sentiment is so "pcstilcnt" and
its population so sshostilc" to the Ma
tionnl Government, rs to preclude tho
existence within it's boundaries of such
governmental institution .as tic Ma
val School, then we might as well give
up The hope of seeing any part of the
Southern States, whether of tho late
Confcdcrncy or not, trustworthy in
supporting tho Government; and it
would be hottcr te establish ut once
military rule over all the region South
Of thc old line of Mason and Dixon
excepting only the city Of Washington.
thdced, W. believe that Mr. Schenck's $
programme Is really something Of this
kind, and that such measures as this
arc only intcndcd to pave the way for
it, II his opinions were put to tho
test, we doubt if ho would recognize
any part OF the population of the coull-
try MS loyal, except those resident at
Yellow Springs and Cape Cod.
GnlrrIN. Two days, ago. says The
Richmond DtSpoi'h, we made bold to
ask, "Who is General GriIRn 2" A
friend has just given us one detail Of tic
biography cf that commander, from
which it will appear that he likes much
better TO meet dead Confederate than
a living one, and that he was much more
rcsolu,e in holding Galveston church
against the cold clay of General John.
st'n than he had proved bimsclfin hold.

The reason is that he knew Stuart was
alive, and all alive. y.

from IL West Point officer, who knew
that Stuart was, known to his army
