During the war We had some officers

will suffer defeat" And when the
battle came on, although those same
officers might fight bravely, yet if

EDITORIAL NOTES.
From tho n. Y. Tribune.

| From tn0 y. 1IlDun0.
Mr.. Andrew johnson of some former
power in that city has returned te
Washington Mr.. Johnson's mission
it is said, is to secure materials for q
history Of his administration. He is
too late. That history has been writ
ten. The swelling periods of its i'm.
| pressive peroration were finished in the
hall of the House when the Electoral
votes were last counted.
We regret TO observe that they are
passing the hat around in Washington
for contributions to aid in resurrecting
The National Intelligencer. Let them
print their =" Conservative newspaper
in Washington, by all means, if the
charitable among them have money
enough TO squander 90 such enterprises;
but let them stop deGling the name Of
Gales i Seaton's old paper.
II is stated iu some of the newspapers
that the grave Of the late Charles G.
Halpiue, is neglected, and that no mon
ument has been erected to his memory.
The performance of this last act of
hrotherlv esteem and affection would
seem properly to devolve upon the lit
erory profession, which Mr.. Halpine
adorned, no, less by his amiable per
sonal character than by his brilliant
prose and verse. Newspaper men, how
ever faithfully aud ably they may work,
are soon forgotten, after they have
passed away, by the public which they
have served, and it therefore especially
becomes them to take care of each
others memories, and to prove, in the
only way possible, their undiminished
love and esteem for their departed com.
panions.
