WHAT is called the Society of the
Army of the Potomac" had its re-
union last week at Philadelphia.
Many generals were present, and the
success in mutual compliment and glo-
rificatiOn remarkable. They seemed
fully determined that their superior
ity and the fact that they were the
victOrs should not be forgotten, espe-
cially by the southern people. The
enthusiasm was vast, of course. Gen.
Grant was there, whose u~tterance
was "let us have peace" but whose
practice is not peace in the time of
peace, but the sword. "Order reigns
in Warsaw" General Sheridan was
chairman, who was recognized as the
"hero Of the valley" because he was
fortunate enough to defeat Early by
ten to one, carrying sixteen shooters!
What a prodigious hero are we pro-
voked by this bloviation to call MIN,
especially when we do not forget his
late most signal achievement in the
massacre of Indian women and chill
dren! 1t would be more fortunate for
the country if it was possible that
such hints as the following from the
Baltimore Statesman might be taken
and acted n
The efforts to make eternal the gIo.
%rihcatiOn of the North overthe South.
may be very wise and dignified, but
we think n day they will be regret
ted. In the midst of the American
Revolution there was a resolution of
thanks offered by Mr.. Coke in the
British House of Commons to Lord
CORVALLIS for a victory over the
rebels" at Camden, but on motion of
Lord North, the words "oUsr the re6-
els" were left out, as likely to pro-
woke too much alteration. Alder
man Ws$ then objected to the
whole resolution, declaring that il
was " unwise to return thanks to Off
GERS for achievements during a civil
war;" and adding, " There O not an
instance an the history of Rome grant
triumph IN honor of ana of her
generals, for victories obtained in times
Of Girl cOHlmOtiOn." What a contrast
to our bogus Rome!

Happily for society, the monsters of
the French Revolution have not trans
mitted 10 the present enemies of So
ciety their on great abilities, nor are
they likely to inherit aught but the
same fate which, in the case of almost
every n of the French revolution
lists, demonstrated that retribution is
not always deferred to another world. 1
With all the disposition to rival and
the most terrible crimes of
history, there is a singular want of
,alent among them for public affairs,
IS has been illustrated in the signal
Of every one of brlem in all
heir political plans and Enterprises.
{ Is a c~onsoling truth, applying alike
o the ultra Radical leaders OF both

moral requirements" {

companies in this country, and is i'm
mensely wealthy and correspondingly
prosperous. Captain Johnston has long
been connected with the houses of Gal
breath, Stewart & Co., and Stewart
Bros. g. Fizer. He is tireless worker,
and is as worthy in every sense as he is
energetic. He was one Of the best and
bravest of the so-ca He'd In war he
was a soldier in peace, civilian and
all the while a whole-souled gentle
man. With his wide acquaintance and
general popularity he will be a valuable
acquisition to the Agency Of the Equi-

that Major John d. Adams, of this city.
has concluded to run three of his largest
Arkansas boats between St. Louis and
the mouth of the Arkansas during the
low water season, in connection with his
light draught boats navigating that
stream. The Democrat adds "Of

KosKoo. This medicine IS rapidly
gaining the confidence of the people, and
the numerous testimonials Of its virtues,
given by practitioners of medicines,
leave no doubt that it is safe and re-
liable remedy for IMPURTY OF THE BLOOD,
that speaks in hig terms of its curative
properties, and give special recon-
mendation of Koskoo to the practitioners
of medicine. This is, we believe, the first
instance where such medicines have been
officially Endorsed by the faculty OF any
of the medical colleges, and reflects great
credit upon the skill of DIR. Lawrence,
its compounder, and also puts Koskoo
in the VAN of all other medicines of the
present day.-From the Norfolk Daily

LABoR.-Labor is capital. Bestow
good health upon a man, so that he can
labor six out of seven days, and no mat
ter how poor he may have been at the
commencement of life's great race, he
will be certain to accumulate a fortune,
provided he takes care of his earnings.
PLANTATION BITTERs is certain to make
the weak ones strong, and to preserve
the health of the healthy. From four to
six hours is considered the ordinary limit
for brain work At the expiration of
this time the phosphorus is carried of,
and the man becomes irritable and nerv-
ops. If he is poor, and continues on at
his task, rs most of poor doctors, lawyers
and editors DO, he will be certain to
shorten his days and All an untimely
grave, as did Sir Walter Scott, unless he
uses Plantation Bitters, which speedily
restores his vital energy, repairs his in
digestion, and correets ths sluggish cir
culation of his blood.

Missouri VALLEY LIFE INSURANCE
CoMPANY.-We publish to-day a state
ment of the Missouri Valley Life Insu-
rance Company as made to the Comp
troller of the State of Tennessee. The
condition of the company, and its ope-
rations, are indeed hattering to the Off
GERS and policy-holders. It's success in
the last three years is almost beyond
precedent. The company actually de-
clares q dividend, payable in cash, on the
first years premiums. As for instance,
Mr. Whitmore, of the LEDGER, took out
a policy in the company. For the first
year he paid premiums amounting to
$l03 80; not long since he was notified
that dividend of $22 % had been de-
clared in his favor, and was awaiting his
order. The company is growing rapidly,
and in few years will rank as one of
the wealthiest in the country. Messrs.
Ruiiin & Tucker, the agents here, are
gentlemen of well known responsibility
and capacity and wide acquaintance.
They are worthy representatives of such
a growing, energetic institution, and we
hope they may continue to reap abund-
ant success.

THEATRICAL. The amusement season,
so auspiciously begun by the mimi
table Billy Emerson and his troupe
on Wednesday night, gives token of
a goodly season. The managers Of
the theater have struck upon a wise
plan in forming their schedule SO
as to limit every change Of attraction
through the term to six nights and
one matinee They also contemplate,
we understand, occasional vacations,
when the house will remain closed for a
week or two, which ought to have the eff
feet of powerful stimulant upon the
resume Of the season. We earnestly
hope Spalding, Bidwell Il Marlborough
may find the ensuing season more pros
porous than the last though they should
bear in mind that Memphis is not New
York in population or in wealth nor
can we bear comparison with New Or
leans or ST. Louis, both of which are
sufficiently populous to support two or
three large theaters. But we have an
abundance Of appreciation, and know a
good thing when we see or hear it.
Give us, then, all the variety you can,
Messeurs, but give us the best the
amusement market affords, and Mem
phis will do her level best The theater,
like our hotels, is an institution that
must be sustained. 1t is the only place
we have to show our country cousins
besides, we like It ourselves. When the
day is fine couple Of hours pleasantly
spent at the theater is relaxation
to mind and body For time we
live in another world-fctitious, per-
haps, but none the less beautiful.
"All work and no play makes Jack
a dull boy" is an old and true saying,
and applicable to our maturcr years.
The love of rational amusement is com
mon to our species; it humanIzes, re-
fines and is healthful. That literary gen
tleman, whose name we cant call TO
mind just now, but who was not wholly
unconnected with dramatic affairs, says
there are sermons in stones" and
good in everything" While we cannot
endorse the last sentiment without quail
fcaton, so far as may apply to our sub
ject, yet we do believe that respecta-
Bile theater is public necessity. People
are easily kept out of mischief if EN-
ployed or amused. The governments Of
Europe found that out long time ago.
Paris, London, Berlin, st. Petersburgh,
and, in fact, wherever the authorities are
in harmony with amusement, peace and
order are readily maintained. Let Tha
liza, Melpomene and Terpsichore reign,
then, clad dccently, of course. Ring up
the curtain, gentlemen, and go on with
the show,
