two candidates for the position jerome
B. Fellows and Robert G Gregg.-boih
of whom are men of respectability and
wealth, but it is to be seriously question
cd if such qualifications only can recon-
mend them to the regiment. Fisk had
wealth, youth. and brains. Under his
guidance the regiment rapidly took rank
in 1st Division as one of the most eff
cient bodies of men in the service. His
men partook of his spirit and dash. and
each one felt the inspiration of his geni

the memory of the dead leader to select
az his successor any one who lacks the
magnetic influence he possessed over his

an impedment to the further advance of
the regiment to permit such a selection
In fact. it would be a blunder, and the

THP nENNOyITE.

From recent dispatches from ST. Pc
tersburg, it appears that the Menn0nites'
a sect numbering some forty thousand
souls. will probably leave Russia in a
short time and emigraut in a body to
either the Uuited States or Canada. The
creed of the Mennonites closely resem'
bles that of the Friends, one of their
principal doctrines of belief being non
resistance-that war is unlawful and
military service sinful-and the reason
of their leaving Russia is that the gov
eminent of that country has recently re
cinded The law which exempted them
from military duty, thus making their
further stay in the Empire incompatible
with their religion, The sect had its
origin at the time when the Anabaptist
and other mystical beliefs fomished in
the Netherlands. its apostle being one
Menno Simonis, who. having been
priest in the Roman Catholic Church.
abandoned Catholicism and preached a
doctrine whose fundamental elements
were charity and faith, and who sought
by his teachings to restore the simplicity
of the Primitive Church
That it is to the interest of our Gov
ernment to endeavor to obtained them.
now that the opportunity is offered, as
residents of the United States, is very
plain, az their natural thrift, intelligence,
ana self-dependence mark them out dis
tinctly as fit citizens of the Great Re
public. Indeed, the law abiding nature
and thrift of the colony Of the sect al
ready established in Lancaster county
Pennsylvania, affords abundant proof of
the desirability of having added to it
either further addition s. or else of hav-
ing new colony founded in some other
portion of the Union. There is one OBJ
stacle in the way of the Mennonite hegira
from Russia, and that is the Russian
law, which forbids subject to leave the
country without the consent of the au
thorities, and although there is little
doubt but that this consent would be ac-
corded to one or two, or even to ten or
twenty of the sect. when permission Is
asked for the entire forty thousand to
leave in solid body it is extremely
doubtful whether the Government will
grant the permission desired. For the
United States, however, Russia has al
ways professed Ligh regard, and it is
quite possible that although for ther own
individual asking the Mennonites would
MOI be allowed to emigrate, yet it is by
no means improbable that if their request
was urgently seconded by our Govern
ment. it would be granted. snd the ad
of thus urgently seconded it is
80 evident, both on the grounds of lend
ing assistance to an oppressed people
and on the grounds of political economy
and self interest, that it seems to be the
plain duty of our Government to take
such action in the natter as will secure
to the United States colony of people
who will add so largely to the morality,
wealth, and intelligence of the na,ion.-
