FOR OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The Department of Pennsylvania, at the
Encampment at Gettysburg ON Wednesday
last. by a unanimous rising vote placed in
nomination for Commander-in-C Chief Com.
rade Thomas J. Stewart.
1t will be remembered that In August
last Comrade Stewart met with a painful
accident, and few Of his friends then real
lied how very serious it would turn out to
be. For some weeks past, however, Com
rade Stewart has been attending person
ally to his duties as Adjutant- General of
the State Of Pennsylvania, although still
using clutches when travelling around.
He is assured, however, that in a few
weeks he will entirely dispense with them.
The hearty action of the Encampment is
certainly the strongest testimony that
Gen. Stewart is very close to the hearts
Of his comrades in that great Depart
ment.

A sPLENDIDLY LOYAL UTTERANcE.

| The best word that has yet come from
any man prominent in the rebel army as to
the full and loyal acceptance of the results
of the war. was uttered by Gen. 4. Por-
Ter Alexander, who was Ices Adiutant-
General in his Grafton at West Point last
| Monday. Gen. Alexander prefaccI his
speech with these lines:
"Once more the light of Jackson's sword
Far flashes through the gloom;
There Hampton rides. and there once
The toss of Stuart's plume
ooh. life goes back through years today,
And we are men once more;
And that old hill Is Arlington,
And there the alien shore.
"Aud over yondcr on the nights
Tic hostile campfres culver.
And suddenly, 'twixt us and thcpl,
Flows by Potomac's River"
crate veteran:
THE Confederate veteran, With these
words does there not arise in every mind
tn. thought of n meteOric army which
over ~ years ago Sprang into existence.
as IL nbllu seem, out Oh Spitt UOtIl-
ingness. and after q career Of four years,
unsusiaiped by treasury or arsenal. brt
unsurpassed for brilliant fighting and law
ISL ouIpour of blood. vanished from earth
as utterly as if it had been a phantom of
imaripation?''
As to the result, the General said:
'.WEose vision is now so dull that he
does not recognize the blessing it is TO
himself and to his children to live IN an
undivided country? Who would today
relegatc his own State to the position it
would hold in the world were it declared
and South America? To ask these Gues-
tons is to answer them. And the answer
sis the acknowledgment that it was best
for the South that the cause was lost
The right to secede, the stake for which
we fought so desperately, were it now
offered us as a gift, we would reject, as
we would a proposition of suicide"
This is complete and full. 1t is an ac-
acknowledgement of all for which we have
contended. The cause for which the
Union soldiers fought was n sacred one
and externally right" Never was war
more splendidly justified by results, and
the coming ages will all add to that justi-
fication. 1t is in the highest degree graft
flying that our former enemies should free
ly recognize that our victory was the
greatest Of blessings to them.

THERE is much qualification among the
veterans over the promotion of Brig. Gen.
John G. Bates to Major Generalcy:
Gen. Bates is son of Hon. Edward
Bates, one of the stalwart Union men Of
Missouri, who was appointed Secretary of
War by President Fillmore: but declined,
and served in Lincoln's Cabinet as Attor-
ney-General. John c.. Bates was appoint
ed First Lieutenant in the 18th U. s. in
1851, and served through the war on the
staff of Gen. Meade. He received two
brevets for gallant conduct. He rose to
be Colonel of the I'd U. s., and was APP
pointed Brigadier- General of Volunteers
in the Spanish War, where he did good
service in front of Santiago. He was pro-
NOTED to MajOr-General and sent to the
Philippines, where he gained much repu-
tation by his ability and tact in the man
agement of the Moros. He is splendid
all-around soldier, but a very gentle and
unassuming man, who makes friends
wherever he goes. He is a member OF
Ransom Post, of st. Louis.

The people of Colorado are true to the
men who are upholding the honor of the

ster mass meeting, held in Broadway The

ALL CLAIM THE CREDIT.

Now that Evans is really gone, it is
funny to see so many men falling over
one another to claim the credit of causing
his removal. For example, Hon. Thad
Mahon, who defended and eulogiZed
Evans on the floor of the House, and de-
nounced the editor of The National Tri-
bune personally for attacking him, had the
following made into n circular, and liber-
ally distributed in the Annual Encamp-
ment Of the Department Of Pennsylvania

It SEEMS that the surrender of the
Beers was complete. and that the British
have been quite magnanimous in the +crms
granted. A long and bitter dispute, which
eliminated i'll the war, has now been def
nitely ended, and we may look for the
development of the United States Of South
Africa upon much the same lines as have
been followed in the formation of the Do
minicn of Canada and the United States

Who gave you, Old Glory, the name that

With such pride everywhere,
AS you cast yourself free to the rapturous
air,
And leap out full length, as we're want
ing you to?-
Who gave you that name, with the ring
of the same,
And the honor and fame SO becoming to
you?
Your stripes stroked in ripples of white
and of red,
With your stars at their glttering best
overhead
By day or by night
Their delightfulest light
Laughing down from their little square
heaven of blue!
Who gave you the name Of Old Glory

Who gave you the name of Old Glory?

In vague lisps and whispers fell silent

WASHINGTON. March s.-Dr. Heinrich
Mueller, one Of the European diplomatic
representatives of the Orange Free State,
called upon Secretary Hay at the State
department today and held half an hours
interview with him. AS In the case of the
other Boer representatives. DR.. Mueller
was received on the distinct understanding
tina he came in a private character and not
In a diplomatic way. Like the preceding
callers he did not address himself to the
subject Of Intervention or mediation. Nor
did he breach the question OF the mule
shipments to South Africa His sole con-
Germ was with the concentration camps In
South Africa. He told the secretary a pitt
full tale Of the suiferings and of frightful
mortality among the reconcentradoes, the
death rate among the children in the COM
munities running as high as so per cent,
according to his statement. Secretary Hay
gave his caller a sympathetic reception, but
was unable to make any promise that the
United States government would change the
attitude toward this subject that 1t has
constantly assumed.

ing at first, 1.-THE thing is IN" There was
some sparring between the two, as on

upon a direct answer and the witness upon
replying in his own way. II intend said

made an attack upon us and that we must
defend ourselves" he added.

defend yourselves or that you should make
an attack also?"
IT had no intention beyond what 1 have
stated"

next day that there was no opportunity
to attempt to heal the breach.
