What Shall Be Done With Freeman !

The case of this miserable man seems and very iustly-to be exciting much at tention theologically and otherwise. That It will bring considerate and honest minds to improved conclusions, Tn regard to faith, is one of the consolatlons afforded by ter rible lesson,
 The question, What shall be done with this man of blood, is addressed to the law of men and soclety, rather than to the high CT, or law of conscience, Many will admit that an evil act with good intention may be excusable in the eye of heaven, while none believing in the necessity of sooial law, would for 8 moment nationally con sent te pardon the convicted offender upon the plea of consclence. For let this princi- pie prevail, and all government would end. As governments are instituted for the gen. eral safety, therefore according to the lower law, he who endangers society by di rect act, no matter how conscientious he may be, should suffer the common penalty for his deed. It may be urged that the fe-taker is led by an unfortunate belief or notion. which should excuse him. Ten thousand murderers. justly wrought up to excitement by real wrong, may thlnk it no crime 10 moral sense to rid the world of an epemy ;'and yet they expect to answer to the law if convicted of the act.

Gen. Shields.

General James Shields died rather unex- pectedly at Ottumws, Iowa, on the lst instant. His was remarkable career. He was born in Ireland, 8 country that furnish e some of the best Jghtsng maternal we had in the late war. There were no better fighters in the army of the Potomac than the famous Irish Brigade" He came to -thls country poor and friendless boy when le years old and in lS43, when barely 33, we find him Judge of the Supreme Court of the State of Illinois. At the commence msnt of the Mexican war he raised regi- msnt of volunteers and for his gallant COZ duct in the field he was made Brigadier General in ls47. He was brevetted Major General for his gallant conduct at the bat tie of Cerro Gerdo shortly afterwards, wht re he was shot through and thrsugh-a Mexi. can escspetta ball Qarger than a mimic and made of coppeD passing completely through one lung, passing out at the back, and mak- ing hole through his body. A silk hand kerchief was passed through the hole. He wasagain severely wounded at Chapultepee. In ls4S he was Governor of Oregon. From ls49 to 1855 he was United States Senator from Illinois, and subsequently, removing to Minnesota, be was chosen Senator from that State. in which office he served tor two years, 1858 to 1860. At the outbreak oi the civil war he was citizen of Californls and was appointed Brigadiei General oi Volunteers August IS, 1861. He command cd division at Winchester, defeated ssonewan Jackson March 23. 1862 and alss at Port Republic in the same year. He subsequently resigned his commission ani finally located in Missouri, where he hal since resided. Upon the death of the late Senator Bogy of Missouri, he was appoint cd to fill the vacancy and he served in thii position from January 26th to March 4th the end of the term. This was his last pub lie service and thus ends the eventful ca reer of gallant soldier. One by one they pass away.
