Our excellent poet, Mr.. II. w. Longfellow
now in England, has been made " Doctor of
Laws" by the University of Cambridge. The
value of such distinction, it must be con
fessed is confined almost entirely to the kindly
intention. Of claw" in the technical sense of
the word, we suppose that Mr.. Longfellow
knows as little as poet should; and if he
were called upon to point out the distinction
between Common Law and Civil Law. he
might be able to give general but by no
means scientific or exhaustive explanation.
such as Doctor in that branch Of human
learning should have at his tongues end. With
poetic law, prosodial or rhetorical, Mr.. Long
fellow is of course familiar. but he Is equally

War shall detail force of officers and men
sufficient to dig and construct a canal 120 feet

The killing of Cornelius Holmes of Kingston,
near Plymouth, Mass, by Deacon Andrews, a
man of high standing, a part of whose confes-
sion we print this morning, is one Of those
startling events which take hold of the public
mind from their very unusual character. Self
defense is the motive alleged for the homicide,
but it will be observed that week elapsed
before the arrest of the DeacOn-a circumstance
in the case that will elicit general interest.

Gen. Mcclellan, it is announced on the
strength of a private letter, will return from
Europe in August, and will not be a candidate
for President this time. He prefers Gen. Han

stump for the Tammany ticket, but we think
that must be an error. He takes the back

general wish that Congress should remain in
