DESERVED PROMOTION.
Vircinia friends Of Senator Walthall, of
Mississippi, will be glad to know that he
| will likely bo the chairman OF the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs. He has
, served with distinction as q member OF the
committee for years and Is IN the line OF
! promotion.
General Walthall is q native of Rich.

CITY. Some of the Radical papers up

| that an ex-Confederate general - 70
be placed at the head OF the MIL

Uawlev and General Henderson, both
| having been Union officers and members

Secretary Of the Navy. and for i've terms
in Congress chairman Of the House Com

federate, and yet naval officers generally
are his staunch friends and supporters.

he was bound to recognize Colonel Her

Sheridan was exceedingly anxious TO have
General Wheeler appointed chairman. and

Wheeler was not only superbly qualified
but he was q friend of the army.
SORRY nut NOT KICKING.
The friends of Mr.. Basil Il. Gordon,
differing from the Indiana contingent. are
| not kicking" because Mr.. Gray has been
