Mr.. Garfield, Of Ohio, (Union) could not
agree with Mr.. Stevens that the reheliious
States ere out Of the Union, nor with gen
tlemen on the other side, who claim they
have all the rights pertaining to the citi-
Gems Of the Union. The Supreme Court
had laid down as q rule, clearly and we'll
defined, that when q great rebellion is in
operation, the President and Congress may
declare thst we are in state Of war and
that We should follow the laws of war. All
the obligations Of the Union hang over
them, but by the act Of rebellion they have
placed themselves beyond the privileges Of
the Constitution. Tne only question was
could this Government, in the exercise Of
the law Of war, punish the rebels By the
forfeiture Of their personal and real estate.
At the origin Of this Government all the
States excepting New Hampshire passed
The most sweeping laws cOnfscstiDg the
estates Of Tories, and not permitting
them to remain upon our soil. The
British Commissioners endeavored to in
Auense our own, who signed the treaty Of
peace, to make restitution, but this the
latter sternly refused to do, snd the 10Th
article OF the treaty merely says they
would recommend Congress to the merci-
full. II we want lasting peace, we must
put down the guilty cause, Slavery, and
take away the platform on which Slavery
stands, namely : the landed estates Of the
rebels Of the South. The negro has been
our true friend on every occasion. There
was scarcely surprise or q battle where
the negro had not come to us and told the
truth. BE had found that while the rebels
were fighting black men were culdvsting
their lands, the products Of which were
placed in the rebel Commissary Depart.
ment And twas not until we took away
the main support Of the rebels that we
could conquer. If this Wss an Abolition
war il was because we have an Abo-
Htion srmy; and be would tell gentlemen
thst Slavery is dead forever, unless the
body.snstchers on the other side should
resurrect and bring it into life. He said,
announce, gentlemen, your friend is de-
parted Hang your emblems Of mourning
on the bier, and follow the hesrse and shed
tears over the grave but have no tine
to waste to hear eulogies on the deceased.
Il was not by commissioners suoh as the
gentleman from New York Wood had
suggested; it was not by smiles that peace
was to be secured, but by the thunders of
war the rebelll0n must be met Our armies
must be filed, and We must go forward
with the msjesty Of great people rising
in their strength 10 break down the last
hopes Of the South. Among other things
Mr. Garfield spoke Of the great anxiety
manifested by the rebels pending the Ohio
State election last Autumn. When the
telegraph flashed to the army the news of
the Unien victory and defeat of Vallan-
dighAm, he (GaTfeldl sent q general or
der through the camp, when from every
little tent there burst shouts which fairly
rent the air, and sent terror and despair to
those men, the rebels who watched over
the border. In conclusion, he said Slavery
must be swept away in order to q perman-
ent pescs. They should follow the exam
pie Of Cromwell, and let out the bad blood
Of the country, and initiate the severity Of
the Puritsns.

The Herald's army Of the Potomac
special says that rebel captain Of the
9Th Virginia cavalry, came into our lines
to take the oath of allegiance. He had
abandoned the rebel service because he
was convinced it was useless to hold out
any longer, and that further resistance
would only result in desolatiDg the South.
The numerous desertions from the rebel
army encourage the belief that the time is
not far distant when there will be a total
disruption Of Lees army,


A squsdrod of the 4th Pennsylvania
cavalry just returned from a successful
expedition to Aldie and Middlebury, hav-
ing destroyed q tannery which had fur
nished leather to the rebels. A rebel party
of guerrillas was pursued who took refuge
in dense woods, abandoning their horses,
which we captured.

damage except to capture four or five men.

Far down the plank road where Hancock

boy severely wounded, perhaps not less soldier
that he was but boy He had fallen the day
before, when we were fartbest advanced, and
had remained unmolested within the rebel lines.
They had not removed him, and he was alone
with the rebel dead when | rode up. The poor
fellow was crawling about, gathering vlolets.
Faint with loss of blood, unable to stand. he
could not resist the tempting flowers, and had

These are the modest yet thrilling words in this great rebel stronghold in Georgia. After four months of persistent marching, battling and toiling over Q mountainous country, every mile of which was capable of being defended by resolute foes against twenty times the num- ber of their assailants, the campaign is glori- cusly ended by the capture of Atlanta, the vital spot in the rebcllious states, and Georgis lies at the feet of our conquering arms.

 The capture of Atlanta practically reduces the area of the rebellion to those parts of South Carolina, North Carolina and southern yirginia not yet in our possession. 1.-The Con- federacy" is bisected. and Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi are cut off from the rest of the states. One after another of the rebel strongholds have fallen, and the rebellion now finds itself literally cireumscribed by Q wall of fire, from which it can find no escape.

 The victory is thus most glorious and com plete, in its military aspect, since it puts hors du combat one of the only two remaining ar mics of the rebellion, and shakes the whole Confederacy from turret to foundation. In it's political aspect it is also just HOW of the highest consequence and happiest omen, since it puts a final quietus upon all humiliating propositions of peace except at the point of the bayonet, and on the sole ground of the supremacy of the Union.

 Well. then, may the glorious news awaken the spontaneous enthusiasm of the loyal mass es of the North We'll may the aspiration of thanksgiving and gratitude to God go up from millions of loyal hearts! Well may the cop perbeads and secret sympathizers with rebell- ion hide their diminished heads in the light of this great victory to the loyal arms, and read their political doom in the hand writing that proclaims,

then held in high esteem, The first person on
whom the title of Doctor was conferred was Ire

of Bologna. He induced. the Emperor Lothaire
H., whose Chancellor he was, to create the title,
and he himself was the first recipient of it, lie
was made Doctor Of Laws by that University.
subsequently the tito was borrowed by the faculty
Of theology, and first conferred by the University
of Paris on Peter Lombard, the celebrated scholas-
tic theologiau. VIM, Gordicne was the first person
upon whom the title Of Doctor of Medicine Was be-
slowed, who received it from the College of Asst IN
