CHANDLER went Cunning for Mr.. WAD-
LEIGH early, with very sharp weapons, and
he bagged his game without much trouble.
We congratulate Mr.. BLAIR on his success,
for, though comparatively young, he has an
honorable record as an able, honest, stall
wart and courageous man in time of peace,
with war record that stands largely to his
credit as a soldier in the struggle to crush
rebellion. New Hampshire has done her
self honor in this selection.
Mr. BLAIR was born at Compton, N H.,
December 6, 1884. He received q common
school and academic education, and took
up the study of the law under the direc-
tion of WILLIAM LEvERETT, of Plymouth.
He was admitted to the bar in May, 1859
He was appointed Prosecuting Attorney
for Grafton County in 1860. During the
war he served as Lieutenant Colonel Of the
Fifteenth New Hampshire Volunteers. lie
was member of the State House Of Rep
resentatives in 1866 and Of the Senate in
1s67-'6S. He was elected to the Forty
fourth Congress as a Republican, receiving
1858 votes, against IL ,S24 for HENRY o

THE HuLL MURDER.

The murder of Mrs HULL in her own
house and sleeping apartment in populous
part of New York city, without attracting
any attention at the time or until morning,
continues to be an outrage wrapped in the
profoundest mystery. No clew has been
discovered to the perpetrators Of the terrible
deed, though the most sagacious of the de-
tective force are working up the case. The
mystery may and may not be unraveled.
Time was when the axiom "Murder will
"out" was universally accepted, but since
the NATHAN murder that theory seems to
have been exploded. This outrage appears
to be akin to that though there is far less
plunder involved. 1t may be murder for
murder sake alone, and if so the act was 50
sIdllfully committed as to defy the search
ing and revealing arts of the practiced de-
tective. There seems to be but little safety
anywhere, and much less apparently in our
crowded cities than elsewhere. The skin
and chances Of conceaing clews in the cities
is much greater than in the country, where
retreat almost invariably leaves some trace
behind.

WAR ANNIVERSARIES.
Pertinent Extracts from the Chronology of
the Rebellion.


1861.
JUNE 14-John A. Dix commissioned major
general of volunteers. Harper's Ferry evacu.
ated by the rebels after destroying the bridges
and all the stores they could not remove,
Governor Jackson evacuated Jefferson City,
Mo.
JUNE 14-Captain Atkinson and twenty
men, of the Fifteenth Indiana, captured 6,2OO
pounds of powder, at Sycamore Mills, thirty
miles from Nashville Tenn.
1868.
JUNE 14-Bdttlc at Winchester--Geneial Mil
roy was nearly surrounded by $4,000 men un-
der General Ewell, who carried his outer
works. The rebels advanced on Martinsburg
and demanded its surrender, which General
Tyler refused. An artillery fight followed, af-
ter which General.Tyler retreated to Harper's
Ferry. General Banks made an assault on the
works at Port Hudson, but was only partially
successful. He gained q position within fifty
or 100 yards of the Notifications. He lost 700
men killed and wounded. Three hundred
rebel cavalry made raid into Maysville, KY,
and took about $4,000 worth of goods, paying
therefor in Confederate money; they took also
about $4,000 worth of Government property.
Hines gucrillas routed near Bardstown, KY;
four killed and one captured. The English
aud Austrian Consuls from the Confederacy
arrived in New York, having been expelled by
the rebel Government. The Army of the PO-
tomac moved north to counteract Lees move
ments in the Shenandoah.
1864.
JUNE 1.-THE whole Of General Grants
army to-day was across the James River.
Preparations were made for movement
against Petersburg, Va, by General Smith s
corps with General Kuntz's cavalry. General
Hunters forces in the Shenandoah Valley
steadily advanced toward Lynchburg. The
skrmishing at Kenesaw Mountain and Pine
Knob, Gcorgia, changed to cannonading. The
rebel General Bishop Polk, in command at
Pine Knob, was killed by Federal shell, and
Generals Johnston aud Hardee, who were with
him, narrowly escaped. At night General
Hooker's corps moved around the base of Pine
Knob, and the rebels were forced to abandon
their position there or have their retreat cut
OFF The rebel centre was withdrawn about n
mile to strong intrenchments along the rugged
hills between Kenesaw and Lost Mountain.
