THE .STATE CAPITAL. Te Paid Fire Department Bill Passed Finally. THE VOTE IN THE ASSEMBLY. Desperate Efforts of the New York Delegation to Defeat the Bill. ONLY ONE REPUBLICAN BOLTED. CHARGES OF CORRUPTION, EXCITEMENT IN THE GALLERIES &., &e., &o. Our Albany Correspondence. Aunany, March 30, 1865, Tho Paid Fire Department bill passed in Assembly to- ay as adopted and projected in the Senate. The vote gtood 80 in favor of the bill against 39 against it. This action was the principal feature of the day if not of the ‘week. Every effort has beon expended upon it by both {parties, and its conclusion is regarded as a test on the ‘question of party discipline, and as to the scope of legis- fation here this session, A great deal of excitement pre- vailed. Tho billcame up on its third reading. It was bold back until the vote of the House was known to be all right for its passage, Bon, Field, of the Republican Biate Central Committee, marshalled the men and was overtly sustained by some of the most influential mana- gera of the democratic party. The only possibility Of its defeat was conjectured upon the division of tho republicans on other measures and tho absence of a suf- Acient number to reduce the vote below the necessary ‘umber for the passage of an act. The result shows that ten democrats voted for the bill and but one republican bolted—Bemis, of Steuben, who voted square against it, The bill being announced, a motion was made placing it at once upon its third reading, under the operation of the previous question, by a vote of seventy-one to forty— the motion being put by Mr. Perry. Mr. Salmon, of New York, endeavored to obtain leave to address the House in explanation of misropresenta- tions which had been made of his elforts to kill off the pu when in Committee of the Whole. Leave would havo on unanimously conceded but for the inadvertant ob- Jection of certain of his democratic collcagues. He had prepared an elaborately written speech, in which, as fore- man of ono of the city fire companies, he had peculiar facilities for presenting his individual experience in tho fire districts, in regard to which the con- froversy with the Police Commissioners has bearing. ‘His vindication of the Fire Department, as a prominent fireman, would have been heard with interest, and the republican members seck to cast the blame of refusing dim a hearing upon his party associates. His opposition ag been uniform and carnost. He had been excused from voting on the vote sending the bill to a third “a and this action was misunderstood in New \Yorl As the yeas and nays were called Mr. Creamer rose on denounced the democratic members voting for the Mr. Ward, of New York, rose frequently to filibuster, dnd when his name was called ho asked to be excused: et besides his allusions tu the principles of the bill, he thore was every reason to apprehend that, when’the e of the bill was announced, the whole Fire De- partment of New York city would, in a body, resign, and Shrow up their apparatus. The destruction of property ‘hich must ensue, he charged. would be a matter of in- armored vei patirgge tape asthe cost would probably levied upon the city and county. Mr, Ward voted “Not when his time for explanation vas up. Mr. Angel's name was called at the close, and, in ask- g to bo excused, he explained the peculiarity of his tion in being favorable to the bill; but having made most urgent effort to offer an amendment, which he leomed essential, he had, in his efforts to obtain a hear- for this amendment, committed himself so strenu- ly against its adoption, that for consistency he begged House to relieve him from voting at all, hig vote tly not being needed to carry the measure. The m7 fred had greatly misrepr’sented him, as he could ve if time permitted. The House ang accepted 1s explanation and his party excused his vote. The vote being now obviously in large excess of all Bocessary for the Ken sce the bill, the feelings of the ‘ratio members: je manifestly exasperated. The jew York delogation attempted to filib:ster, and were in rapped down by the Speaker in the most emphatic jor, The remarks of Mr. Angel were received with laxse in the galleries, which manifestations were unptly suppressed by the ~peaker. It was obvious Bintto point had been left unguarded and that the bill pass. Before tho vote was finally declared by the Clerk, Mr. Turner, of Queens, ros» tv a question of privilegs, as- yee | that he had been offered five hundred doviees for ‘bis vote on this bill. Mr. Ward moved for a committee of investigation, pao was ruled out of order, and the vote was finally nounced. ‘ Mr. Salmon gave notice that he would move a renewal of Mr. Ward’s proposition for a commitice of investiga tion at the first opportunity in ordor. + The House was declared in recess immediately after ae ee the vote, the hour having arrived erefor. yone pene seat og es crowded with Now ers, prin ly officials of the corporation and par- ies connected with the Fire Departm: atin oz 4 Avpayy, March 30—11:45 P. M. ‘The excitement in regard to the Paid Fire Department Dill was renewed at the evening session, by the introdue- tion by Mr. Salmon, of New York, of resolutions for the Anvestigation of the charge made to-day by Mr. Turner, of Queens, A very lively debate sprang up. Messrs. Weaver, Van Buren, Gleason and Hulse urged fhe adoption of the resoiutions, with various amend- ments, making the scope of the investigation broader, or ‘Driefer, or more specific. Mr. Perry took up the subject, as he had conducted ‘tif passage of the bill through the day, He spoke at Tength on the futility of pursuing this inquiry from Amero purposes of ill fecling, He said that members of ‘both parties had voted for and against the measuro, and St was evidené from regard only to the merits of the measure. He spoke in justification of those members who had exercwed their judgment and independence on @ measure which had really no party bear. ng, which should not be entirely deferred to the iblic good involved. He had acted independent f party, and he honored those men who had ‘voted for this bill as nobly as they did with him He called for the facts in the case upon which these charges were based, and defied their production in any Specitic form before the House. Mr. Turner, of Quepns, then rose, and substantially withdrew the chargo made to day. He said he had been spoken bef member of ihe House as to his action wpon the bill in question. He said he had seen no reason for voting for the bill, and was told by the gentieman that there were five hundred reasons for doing so, while he (ur, Turner) replied that he would not be persuaded 80 to vote for a thousand reasons, Mr. Bemis was in favor of the active and prompt con- sideration of any specific charges, but explained that the allegations were insufficient, No basis could be presented, Jn the words of the gentleman from Queens, for an inves ‘tigation. Mr. Salmon withdrew his resolution, on the ground that the member from Queens had now substantially re- = the eharge which he had made to-day. He had vanced the resolution upon the open assertion of that ®entleman, which he evidently made upon arash Sssumption. Mr. Lyons, who had previously urged the passage of these resolutions, now, in view of the explanation of the member from Queens, thought that the inquiry had no foundation, and should be dropped. The Speaker deciding that upon the withdrawal of the fe house Mr. Salmon there was no question before ¢ House, Mr. Veeder, of Kin newed the subject by aking, a8 @ substitute, resolutions of a general nature rexteuding the investigation, Several members sustained the renewal of the resoln- fion, whilo others deprecated it on the ground that the allogations made upon the passage of the bill were mere parliamentary obstructions Mr. Van Buren exhibited the absurdity of the provall- rs by a reference to the aspecta of the case od in the contradictory statemonts of the member om Queens, Mr. Pitts presented an amendment, confining the investigation to the statement as made upon the floor, Mr. suopard made a keen review of the whote debate, fn its tendency to cause the organization of scavenger Comumittees for condensing the scandals of the lobby and ‘Aho sireets to no purpose, and for no practical use except the waste of time and reputation, The amendment was miopted, the scope of which is re- stricted to the statement of Mr. Turner, and of course Amounts to nothing. It is conced»d that the charge was Thade as a sort of desperate stratagem to interposo the delay of an lavestiqating cominittee for the obstruction ‘and ‘lefent of the bill, The measure being passed, the ‘Biatement of Mr. Turner and the proposed examination by the committee are all bosh. The roal element by which this bill was unexpectedly lifted out of was the ingenious turn which Mr. In- ham, of New York, gave to the feeling in regard to Fite detent of tho Parallel Railroad bill, the other members of the New York delegation having accomplished thie de- feat by their persistent opposition, and the fire bill being pagec in retaliation. + Tho management of the bill on.the floor was skillfully Ponducted by Mr. Perry, Chairman of the Commtitwe on Cities, while its passage, by taking it out of party, was e es eed rieetod by Sidney P. Ingraham. |, ‘be ‘es who have made the most persistent oppo- sition here to the measure in the obbies are to-night candigies for appointment ag commissioners ugder the new bill. ‘There is a fully organized movement here to super- cede the Comptroller's appointments of Commissioners of Correction and Charity—Bowen and Brennan—by an am ndment to the bill here, which will retain Simeon Draper in office, The Press Despatch, Avsany, March 30, 1865. OPENING OF THE STATE CANALS. The Canal Commissioners have concluded semi-officially to open the Erie Canal on the first of May. The Cham- plain Canal will probably be opened at the same time; but it is uncertain when the water will be let into the other canals. IMPORTANT TO LIQUOR DEALERS. Senator Strong offered the following resolution in Senate to-day:— Resolved, That the Metropolitan Polico Commissioners be and hereby are requested to report to the Senate without dolay the number of persons engaged in the sale of liquora at retail in their district, the number licensed and the number unlicensed. Senator Laimbeor offered the following:— Resolved, That the Commissioners of Excise of the city of New York be directed to report forthwith to this Senate the number of persons engaged in the sale of Mquors without license, and the number of persons so engaged with license; the number of suits cominenced against persons selling liquor without license, the num- ber of suits yy the payment of tho amount of money received for the costs in such suits, the gross amount of license fees received, and the amount and items of the expense attending such suits. NEW YORK LEGISLATURE. ate. Avnany, March 30, 1865. Mr. Fuss asked the indulgence of the Senate to say that nobody regretted more than he the accident of last evening. For that breach of decorum he offered the most earnest apology. The night previous he had not slept any, and therefore during the session last evening he accidentally fell asleep, and {t was constitutional with him while sleeping to breatho hard and loud. It was merely accidental, and he intended no disrespect to the Senate or the Senator who occupied the floor at the time.

Mr. Aux: argued that instead of being inimical to the interest of New Yprk it would confer incalculable advan- tages on commerce by securing to the products brought to its wharves speedy transfer from vessels and safe and cheap storage. . Mr. Fixips stated that the Comptroller was in favor of allowing the erection of two or three of these projected warchouses for experiment. Tho bill was then made the order for Tuesday morning.

The bi’ proposed @ radical change in that court, and he was cohvinced that the people of that city were opposed to it. Mr. Stewart said the bill was asked for by prominent lawyers in New York, on the ground that it was neces- sary to expedite business before that court, which was now greatly delayed. Mr. Licexs raised objection that the constitution pro- vided that surrogates should be elected and not ap- pointed, as provided by this bill. Messrs. Burvitr, Cxkamer and McCoxvitiz took simi- Jar ground in favor of recommitment. Mr. Ripcrway favored the bill, for tho reason that cases before the Surrogate’s Court were from one to three years behind. The bill was necessary to expedite the business before that court, Mr. J. L. Parkur said Now York was excepted from the constitutional provision with reference to surrogates. ‘The report of the committeo was agreed to, THR SOLDIERS’ VOTING BILL ‘was passed to a third reading, , and made the s order for to-morrow, immediately after the reading of the journal.

The ayes and noes were ordered. When Mr. J. L. Par- Ke’s name was called he asked to be excused. He did not desire the previous question for the reason that Mr. Salmon, of New York, had heretofore been placed in a false position on this Bill, and he had becn promised an oF unity to explain. While he should vote for the bill he should give every member an opportunity to de- fine his position, whether democrat or republican. Mr. Woop asked to be excused for similar reasons, Amid great confusion Mr. J. L. Swrrn said he hoped lobbying would be stopped. Mr. Murkay called for the enforcement of the Ofty- seventh rule, Mr. Creamen—It is time the insurance companies were shut off from lobbying. The Sreaker ordered the persons not entitled to the floor to retire. Mr. Veneer called for the enforcement of the rule ex- cluding persons from the lobby not accompanied by jes, The Srraker ordered the rule to be enforced on the conclus'on of the vote then ao The previous question was then ordered, when the Clerk commenced reading the bill for the third time, Mr. Sa.mon rose to a question of ig ie =e He had desired an opportunity to discuss the bill; but that had been denied him. He now called attention to the a tration of another outrage. The Clerk, when the bill was first announced, did not give its number, thus mis- leading members as to its character. The Sreaxur stated that the gentleman was mistaken. The Clerk did announce the number, Mr. Saimon—I listened attentively, with my hand to my ear, but did not hear the announcement, ir.

Mr. Tuange said extraordinary means had been ro- sorted to to this bill. He would vote against it, though he had been offered $500 to vote for it, while other members bad taken it, Great confusion ensued. Members rose in their seats, The ker called to order. Mr. ANGRL asked to be excused, and hoped his request would be granted. He had decided to carefully examine all important bills. But in this case that privilege had been denied. The bill in question had been fi upon the party in caucus, and had been otherwise forced through without due consideration. He was excused. Mr. Satmow rose to a question of privilege. It had been stated by a member on this floor that money had been offered him by another member to vote for this bill. Notice should be immediately taken of the oocur- Fenoo by the House.

The promise of employment which a large city is sup- posed to hold out, and othor influences, have operated to congregate in this city many of that class whose condi- tion is such as to challenge immediate attention to their claims to omployment and support, und it is our desire to thd ways of satisfying those claims which shall not compromise the selfrespect and independence of mon who, having done and suffered so much for their country, should be considered by all her citizens as having @ pre- ferred claim to such employment as they are still At for, This preference, which should be conceded them as a right, and is a Compensation for tho permanent disad- vantage which their disability will entail, caunot of course be secured to them by legislation; but we think much may be done towards educating public sentiment to that end if the government would set the example of conferring upon those war-worn veterans such offces within its gift as they might be found qualified to fll; and if your xcellen-y approve the plan, we would ask of you such instructions to the heads of the several de- partments of the government as may serve that purpose. We think that if such an example is set, it may be fol- lowed by the State Executive, and otherwise have an effect in establishing the right of the well qualified inva- lid to certain lighter employments which it will then be considered dishonorable in a sound man to compete with him for.

COLLECTOR PRAPER'S REPORT REGARDING THE COT- TON CAPTURED AT SAVANNAH. Mr. Simeon Draper has arrived here from Savannah, and is stopping at Willard’s, He has made an inter- esting sud claborate report to the Secretary of the ‘Treasury of the facts connected with the Savannah cotton, Thirty-eight thousand five hundred bales, of which six thousand are sea island, were cap- tured in all. This cotton bad been gathered at Savannah from various parts of the confederacy to prevent its fall- ing into the hands of Union raiding parties, but princi- pally to facilitate its shipment in blockade runners. ‘Most of it belonged to the rebel government, and it was found stored in different sections of the city. In regard to the stories about the private marks on the cotton hav- ing been removed, Mr. Draper states that after Gene- ral Sherman took possession of the cotton many people went into the warehouses where it was stored, and marked a large number of bales. Some of these marks represented persons who were dead. The persons who had marked the bales, and professed to be genuine claimants of the cotton, were not the legitimate living representatives of the former owners, Upon these facts becoming known an order was made to provent unauthorized persons from entering such warehouses, Another reason assigned for this order by Mr. Draper is, that it was necessary to prevent the agents of the rebel government from setting it on fire, which was several times attempted. He denies that private marks, which were upon the cotton when it came into the possession of the government, have been obliterated or removed, and pronounces the statements which have been made to that effect untrue. The rebel government brand was removed from a large number of bales by the rebels at the time of the evacuation, their intention being to claim the cotton themselves. Undoubtedly among the bogus claimants are many of those persons, A great portion of the bagging was de&royed in re- moving the marks. New bagging was necessary, which was furnished by Quartermaster Genoral Meigs. Not a private mark upon a bale of the cotton was obliterated by the United States officers or agents, Mr. Draper an- nounced, in a public notice, that any statement that any party dosired to make concerning the cotton known at Savannah would be received by an agent designated for that purpose. In accordance with this notice many statements were made, and have beon placed on file, and will at the proper time receive due consideration from the Secretary of the Treasury, It is authoritatively an- nounced that the cotton will be disposed of at auction in the city of New York, at such time as shall hereafter bo designated by the Secretary of the Treasury.

Instructions will be sent to the internal revenue offl- Cors to-morrow to the effect that after the first of April cigarettes will be taxed as follows:—Thirty-five conts per pound upon the smoking tobacco of which they are made, and the completed cigarettes five per centum ad valorem. Cut tobacco may be inspected in boxes before packing at the place of ite manufacture. NATIONAL BANKS. It has boen ascertained at the Currency Bureau that the State banks of Massachusetts and Now York are rapidly being converted into national banks. Those of Rhode Island have commenced availing themselves of the enabling act recently passed; and banks all over the @ountry manifest a similar disposition. The law allows national banks to issue one-sixth of their circulation in notes of less denomination than five dollam The Cur- reney Bureau has received some of such money, which will be issued to the banks in the order of their organiza- tion. SHIPS-OF-WAR TO BE LAID Ur. It is under consideration by the Secretary of the Navy to retire about ove half of the vessels now in commis- sion, and use the surplus seamen and landsmen employed on board for iand service. This will add about twenty- five thousand tw the effective land forces. The capture of all rebel ports will enable this important reduction to be made in the naval force and a large saving in expense of that branch of service. IMPORTANT TO INVENTORS. Congress, at last session, passed an act providing that any person, whether an inventor or assignee, for whom a patent was ordered to issue upon the payment of the final foe, but who had failed to make payment thereof, shall have the right to make an application for a patent the same as in the case of an original application, provided sich application be made within two years after the date of the allowance of the original application, and nothing heroin shall be so construed as to hold responsi- ble in damage any persons who have manufactured or used any article or thing for which the patent afore- faid was ordered to issue. This act applies to all cases now in the patent office, and also to such as may here. after be filed. CONTRACTS FOR HIDES, TALLOW, BTC.

FORTRESS MONROE. Mr. Wm. H. Stiner’s Despatch. Fortress Monnon, March 29, 1865, GREAT DESTRUCTION OF MEDICAL STORRS. At half. past three o’clock this afternoon a fire broke out in a storehouse used for the keeping of medical wtores, situated at Camp Hamilton, which bids fair to destroy the entire contents and the building. Owing to s high wind prevailing, it will be hard work to stay the flames, The steam and hand engines of the fortress, in charge of Captain John Baulch, Chief Engineer, have been ordered over by Major Wm. L. James, Chief Quar- tormaster, to save the adjoining property. As I close this despatch the fire is still rag! and I am therefore unable, thus far, to ascertain the exact amount of damage done. Loss of the British Brig Gold Hunter. Foxrtasss Mowronr, March 29, 1865. The steamer President Fillmore from New York, ar- rived to-day, and makes the following report: — Experienced head winds and heavy gales from the southwest. In latitude 38 north, longitude 73 46 west, came in collision with the British brig Gold Hunter, of Yarmouth, from Philadelphia for Cienfuegor, sinking her in a few moments, The captain and crew were saved. Danout’s Foo Trumpet vor Nova Scorta.—We learn that Mr, Daboll, the inventor of the fog whistle, or trum- pot, has received orders fromthe Lighthouse Department of Nova Scotia for two fog trumpota, of the largest clans, to be furnished and sent to Halifax during the present summer, Mr. Hendrick, the Superintendent of Light houses in Nova Scotia, was here afew dayy cinee to examine the fog trumpet apparatus which Mr. Daboll has nearly completed for England and Seotiand, and was #0 Well satisfied with the game that he authorized Mr. Daboil to make two of the largest class and send to Halifax, so that Mr. Daboll could stop on bis retarn from England and superintend their erection at the light houses near that harbor, This is astep in the right direction, and we congratulate our Nova Scotia friends at proapect of soon having a fog Fignal whieh will tend to dispel the fogs which so much envelope their atmos phere, Se pporo, now that England and Nova Scotia are to be lifted out of the fog, that we bave one of Daboll’s fog trumpets at Sandy Hook. THE SOUTH. The Quarrel of Hood and Johnston, The Rebels Unable to Appreciate Hood's Tirade Against Johnston. Governor Brown's Pet Project of a State Convention Fails to Pass The Hood-Johnston Q' A REVIEW OF HOOD’S REPORT. (From the Richmond Examiner, March 27.) The unfortunate campaign of last winter in Tennessee is over and past, We cannot recall itand undo it. The dead cannot be restored to life. Georgia has been over- run by theenemy, Savannah has fallen, the ashes of routh Carolina’s cities yet smoke. The remnant of one of our two great Confederate armies, defeated and almost annihilated, has by long and toilsome marches come back to Sherman's front, from which it ought never to have been withdrawn; and js now under its beloved com- mander, General Jobnston, gallantly struggling to repair the disasters of the past and to prevent still more terrible disasters in the future. The country would now have been glad to forget what is past and irrevocable, and if General Hood had been well advised he would have al- lowed it to forget. In presenting his “‘report’ of the operations under his command he would have confined it within the strict limits of sailors wenden, would not have stirred up debated and debateable points of com- parison; would even have taken care to make his report the driest and most meagre record of orders, movements ae dates; and so let it paas, The less said about it the tter. But General Hood would not have it so. A great part of his report consists of polemical controversy against General Johnston; and of extremely severe criticism upon his superior officers’ whole cond:ict for three months before he (General Hood) was placed in command, and while ho was a lieutenant general in the same army. must now be at least admitted that If General Hood cannot conduct a campaign, hv can write a pamphlet And it is but justice to General Hood to acknowledge that the very unfavorable opinions he has expressed in this pamphlet, which he calls a report of General John- ston’s fitness to lead an army, are not an afterthought on his part. He is quite consistent. He gave it to be very clearly understood some time before Johnston was re- lieved, that that officer's method of handling an army was not his style; and seeing that, in the eyes of our President, the first requisite of a superior military genius, the highest qualification for command of armies, is to consure General Johnston. The public was not much astonished, though a good deal frightened, when it was announced that Johnston was relieved, and this young gentleman put in his place, It is probable that General Johnston will not be very solicitous to reply to the pamphlet. He has 01 ing else to do. He has Sherman to attend to; and Sherman has a prior claim upon him. By the imperious demand of the whole country, of Congress and of the army, he has been borne back to the command whose duties were so unfortunately interrupted; and is, we imagine, well content, as the general public ought to be, to leave the question of comparative military reputation where it stands, and todo his duty to his country as best he can with the means now left at his disposal—as General Hood also endeavored to do, the best way he could. The President, we Roprepend: would be surprised if he knew how very little the country cares for this great business of setting up and Fomrcred down great iilitary reputa- tions, People are thinking of how their homes and their lives, and their children’s freedom and honor are to be saved from a potent and mortal enemy; and if they prefer one general officor to another it is not from a partisan spirit; not out of spite to the President, nor factious desire to exalt a favorite hero. They really cannot efford to think of this. If the army, also, craves and prays to bo led by some particular general rathor than another, it is because all officers and privates in that army feel that he knows where and when to expose them to battle, and when to avoid it. ‘The whole community, in short, mili- tary and civil, has an instinctive certainty, an intuitive, infallible recognition, of the men that have proved them: selves the ablest leaders of our gallant defenders (who are also our sons and our brothers) in this perilous pas- sage through the Red Yea of battle, out of which we are to emerge gloriously into the promised land of indepon- dence—or in which we are to be engulphed miserably, we and our name and nation forever. The people of’ the Confederate States cannot bear the thought that the very pick and chows of the men of this land, the flower, the crown and Nerpos of our race and blood, should be re- garded as the mere material for building up the fame of fea av Sipepinra officer whom the President has resolved to make a great general, at our expense. 7o rescue and hold our country—to save our souls alive—this is the grand print at present; and, strange as it may seem, we do not care a button how all these military reputations will be rated in history—not even that of Mr. Davis; for whom it is surely fame enough that he once transfixed the Mexican cavalry upon the prongs of his immortal fowr- chette, Into the statements of facts and figures made by Gene- ral Hood in this report, and their very material discord- ance from the statements of General Johnston im his own report, it will not be expected that we should enter. Indeed, it may be doubted whether many persons will ever read the long story, or give themselves the trouble to verify or contradict detatin, rogre 4 one is willing to let bygones be bygones; willing to believe that General Hood did — think he was dding the best practicable thing when he moved round Sherman's right and marched off towards Nashville; to believe that he ex- pected Sherman would thereupon divide his forces; to believe that if Sherman didn't divide his forces that was not Goneral Hood's fault—only our misfortune; to admit that he deemed it his duty then to leave Sherman to do as he pleased in Georgia and to march away into Middle Tennessee; and that he thought, when there, the best thing he could do was to burl his army right up against the fortifications of Franklin, and win a dis- astrous success at a terrible price; to belteve also, as the General says, that many circumstances occurred which he had not foreseen (as well as Sherman's perverse conduct), and that if things had happened otherwise, the campaign would have been a snecess instead of a failure. It will be admitted farther that General Hood is a brave and patriotic officer, and in his proper sphere has done good service—in fact that in all this transaction he was not so much criminal as unfortunate—but then his countrymen were more unfortunate still, His name was dear to the army when he was a general of division, and used to lead his brave Texans through storms of fire, wherever he was ordered to go. But in an evil hour he selected as one of the President's great generals; for as Charlemagne had bis peers, King Arthur his knights, and Napoleon bis marshals, so Mr. Davis must be girt ‘by his paladins. The country sympathizes with General Hood on that sinister promotion, but desires for the future, if possible, to be permitted to forget his name.
