The Secretary of War, Gen, Jno. A.
Rawlins is dead. There are few chiv'
alrous hearts in the South which will
not regret that he is no more. Among
the few men who rose to deserved emf.
hence in the Northern army the name
of Rawlins is already rcckoncd, and it
is not saying too much when we attrib-
ute to him those lofty qualities Of head
aud heart which raise the hero above
the partizan, and command the respect
and admiration Of brave adversary.
He was born in Illinois in 1881 and
was reared as n farmer and Charcoal
burner in which bnsinees he continued
till 1854 when he went to Galena and
studied law. From Sept. 1861 till the
close of the war he was probably the
very sword arm Of Gen. Grant, and by
his able and magnanimous course in the
Cabinet has gone to his early grave
leaving few enemies to outliye him.

The Byron scandal is not yet done
with. Mrs. Stowe has, by her attempt
to fix the character of Lady Byron, sue
cecded only in bringing her own in
question. 1t will be remembered that
Lord Byron wrote his own memoir, and
as it confined his version Of the sopara>
ton between himself and Lady Byron,
she destroyed it. 1t will at once be OBJ
served that she thus cleared the way Of
obstructions that her own version might

Mankind are watchful of the reputation,
which clothe the children Of genius and,
however strongmiuded Mrs. Stowe may
have shown herself to be, they will exs
anime with cold scrutiny her evidence
against the mute Poet upon whom La
dy Byron has placed the literary gag.
Byron had his faults and they were
grieyous, but the intellisen. reaae:s Of
the world will no. believe a story too
improbable to be told while be was liv.

The affection which be bore his half.
sister Augusta may be traced through
many of his most brilliant poems, and
there is room for the pleasant belief that
he found in the purity of her love for
him refuge from the bitter memory Of
his disappointed estimate of Lady By.

her is verdict with which the present
generation will not shock the moral COL.
