ample protection it devolves upon him the
reciprocal obligation Of promptly notify
ing the attorney that he proposes to claim
il. As soon therefore as he learns that
the attorney has purchased Tor himself he
must at once exercise his election of claim
ing the benefit of the transaction, and
this duty will be especially incumbent

those extracted from MIR. Green's body by
Dir. Shannon, while the one taken from

The question, therefore, as to who shot
Capt. Andrews remains unanswered. Much
excitement existed on the streets yesterday
in reference to the sad ARRAY, and is deeply
deplored by all. Exertions are being made
to find the bottom facts connected with the
event, and we will rejoice if the whole
matter can possibly be brought out. The

at which tune we hope to hear of additional

of the battalion which Afterwards became

commanded by Col. J. Il. Chalmers. Being
transferred from Pensacola to the more
stirring events then taking place, it became
a parC of the Army OF CoTinth, just prior
to the battles of Fort Donelson,
Shiloh was the first battle in which the
company was engaged, and numbered be-
fore going into action fortl-three, rank and
file, losing in the two days fight seventeen
wounded three killed and one missing.

The Okolona States, one Of the most
brainy papers in of the Union, has
fairly launched itself into "Red-hot-
ism" If it don't get scorched itself,
it will be apt to scorch somebody else.
Red-hotism, as a principle, does well
for Mexico, and war, and the Indian
Bureau, but when peace comes, and
the tendency of the American mind is
in the direction of wholesome harmony,
we doubt the virtue Of Red-hotism.
Brick Pomeroy made fair and square
test of the efficacy of Red-hotism, and
he came out at the little end of the
horn on that question. Redhotism is
good in its place, but it ought to have
a little discretion as to the age, or the
era, or the epoch in which it parades,

issued circular in which the matter OF
holding convention for the nomina-
ton OF a candidate for district attorney

This is prudence on the part of the
State Executive Committee. Now let
the varions county Executive Com

The office is not and should not be
political one, aud the least amount of
partizanism that enters into contest
for it, the better it will be. A
Judge or a District Attorney should be
chosen for his fitness for the Office
rather than his acceptabiiity to any
party.
