Herns Relating to tlie (inlf Department.
We clip t!io following interesting
items from the " 1 tome News " article
in the True Delta, of the 6th :
DISCHARGING SOL Ii!« RS.
The War Department ordyr for the
reduction of the armies requin« all
nieu iu the Signal Corps to be imme
diately mustered out whose terms
expire previous to September 30. In
accordance with this order, twenty
seven men were yesterday mustered
out liy Capt. Eaton, Chief Signal
Officer of the Department. In bid
ding them farewell, the Captain took
occasion to say that he did not think
an equal number of men could be
taken promiscuously from any corps
in the service whose record could
compare with theirs as gallant, well
bohaved soldiers. They were a fine
looking sot of men.
RESIGNED.
Capt. W. G. Fuller, Superintend
ent of Military Telegraphs, has re
signed, and will bo superseded by
• 'apt. Gross, now cn route for New
Orleans, lie is expected about the
15lh im-t.
DE PARTMENT CHANGE.
We learn, on excellent authority,
that another change in the Depart
ment of the Gulf has taken place.
Mississippi, Alabama and Florida
have been added to Gen. Thomas'
division, which leaves Gen. Canby
in command only of that portion of
Louisiana lying east of the Missis
sippi river. I-t is further stated that
Geti. Canby will shortly take an im
portant command under Gen. Sheri
dan on the Texas frontier.
A GOOD ORDER.
A recent War Department order
permits all soldiers who are honora
bly dismissed the service to retain
their knapsacks, canteens and haver
sacks.
THE SANITARY COMMISSION.
Orders received by Dr. Blake,
from the Central Board at Washing
ton, instruct him to close up the
business of the Sanitary Commission
in this Department by the first of
next month. This will be bad news
for the army, for there was not a
time during the war when the serv
ices of the commission were more
needed than at this period. There
are more than 100,000 troops in the
extreme South, all of whom are
dependent upon the Commission
Agents here, for the many little deli
cacies and comforts which the Gov
ernment does not provide, but which
are almost absolutely necessary in
this climate. During the summer
months especially, is the relief fur
nished by this agency of great
benefit ; and it seems hard that this
vast body oi men should be deprived
of it when needed bo badly. The
Soldiers' Home, which bas proved so
very beneficial to the army, will also,
we suppose, he given up, unless the
Commanding General takes it in
charge. We hope some measures
will be taken to keep it up.

TRIAL OF THE ASSASSINS.
W ashington , June 28.—The conspiracy
trial ended its seventh we«Tc and last day
of open session this r. m . The attendance
of spectators was not as large as usual the
greater portion being ladies. All of the
prisoners were in oourt to-day,except Mrs.
tiurratt, who remained in an adjeining
room. There was nothing new in the de
meanor of the prisoners oicept the close
attention which they paid to Judge Bing
ham's very elaborate argurnenton the evi
dence. Its reading occupied the attention
of the court for several hours. To-morrow
the commission reassembles in secret ses
sion, to declare their verdict and sentence
those who are fouud guilty. The impres
sion seems they will be convicted, but that
Payne, Ilerold and Atzerot, will only re
ceive death sentence. When vordict and
sentence in each case are agreed on, tho
sealed record is sent to Ji.dge Advocate
Gen. Holt, who reads and then lays it be
fore the Secretary of War by whom it is
referred to the President for final approval.
The Administration and Kegro Suffrage
The development of the Executive policy
as alluded to by tho President in confer
ence with the South Carolina delegation,
and in relation to the extension of tho elec
tive franchise to tho colored freedmen, has
awakened thé cityjournalstoa free discus
sion of this important issue. The Chron
icle, generally regarded as the exponent of
tho Administration policy, characterizes it
as a delusion, and expects Congress and
the Executive to do that for the colored
freedmen of the South which the indepen
dent sentiment of the North has îaiied or
refused to do for tho better trained and
more experienced colored mon in their
section.

counts the incidents of the march
and the circumstances of the collision
between his force and that of Lieu

the killing and wounding of several
ot each column. The following is

Respectfully forwarded.
From this report it appears that Lieut.
Col. Harnden faithfully performed hislduty
and no blame can attach to him in rela
tion to the unfortunate collision between
his detachment and Lieut. Col. Pritehard's,
which he had every reason to believe re
mained at Abbeyvilie. It is, howe«er, a
source of painful regret that the satisfac
tion experienced in this consummation is
elided by the knowledge that an act of
unsoldiery selfishness in appropriating by
doception tho fruits of another's labor, and
thus attaining unearned success, resulted
in unnecessary bloodshed, and a sacrifice
of lives for which no atonement can be
made. What may have been intended
merely as an act of bad faith towards a
luilow-soldier resulted in a crime, and for
this closing scone of tho rebellion, inglori
ous in itself, but historic in circumstances.
It is difficult to repress a wish that acci
dent had afforded the Government a rep
resentative above suspicion.

A stray scrap of History. —Permit
me to describe one of the early scenes
in the grand drama, the last act of
which lias not yet been played. It
was during tbe session, ot Congress,
the winter pre»- * rjg tbe Charleston
Convention,!;: ! a grave Senator occu
pied the Mteption of tbe Senateon
the state of the Nation. His solemni
ty oi manner, his simplicity of style,
his extreme views on the subject of
State rights, all proved tbe sincerity
of tiie speaker, and recalled to memo
ry tbe iigure, voice and sentiments of
tiie dead Calhoun. The voice seemed
more like the emanation of a spirit
than tbe uttered convictions of the man
who was destined to be the leader of
the great rebellion. A sort of awe
spread over tbe Senate Chamber, and
even Wade, and Sumner, and Chand
lar listened with an attention akin to
respect. Among the auditory there
was one who seemed more than the
rest absorbed in the scene before him.
The Senate adjourned, and Stanton
hastened from the Senate Chamber to
one of the great hoteis at Washington
and asked to be shown to tbe room
of the venerable Governor Medary,
of Ohio. Scarcely had he entered,
when with a voice full of passionate
energy, be exclaimed—"Medary, I
have just heard Davis, and by all the
gods, he is the greatest of living
statesman ! Tbe South is right, and
Davis must be the nominee of the
Charleston Convention; and to secure
that end, you must come at once to
Washington and take charge of tbe
Government organ."
Gov. Medary, suggested that there
were crtain reasons why such an ar
rangement might not be acceptable to
Mr. Buchanan, when Mr. Stanton re
plied :
"I will look to that ; I will be res
ponsible for that ! I will go at once to
the] White House, and in two hours
from now I will see you again."
Medary waited, Stanton returned ;
but for reasons unnescessary here to
n at rate, the scheme failed. This was
til»» opening scène which preceded the
rebellion, and Edwin M. Stanton, play
ed tbe chief role as the advocate of
Southern rights and the especial friend
of Jefferson Davis.— Was/iintm Let

S outhern L eaders ,—The result of
the war has had one effect which
ought not to be overlooked. It has
laid upon the shelf a great number of
Southern political leaders who former
ly exercised most potent influence in
shaping the policy of the Government.
Many of these were bad men. Per
sons like H unter , T oombs , M ason,
S lidell , C. C. C lay, R hett , C obb,
T hompson , W igfall , and hundreds of
kindred nature but of lesser note, can
never expect hereafter to exert in this
country the powers of mischief they
possess, ami which they so zealously
used in the incipiencyof tbe rebellion.
Théy told the Southern people that
tbe establishment of a new Govern
ment would be easy ; that cotton was
King ; that all the nations of tbe earth
would be their allies ; that the Demo
cratic party of the North would stand
by them; that the Washington Ad
ministration would not attempt to pre
vent the disruption of the Union by
force of arms ; that, in short, the South
was unconquerable. The people of
that section, who had been accustom
ed to putting faith in the leadership of
these men, received their counsels on
the subject of secession with hesitation
if not with positive distrust ; but the
sway of passion in those days seemed
resistless, "and the war came." Deso
la'ion has been carried to numberless
homes in the "seceded" States, scores
of thousands of lives have been lost
and millions of money expended,
through the wickedness of the pro
moters of the revolt. It is impossible
that the sacrifice and suffering shall
be forgotten during tbe life-time of
these dangerous counsellors. The
masses of the South, learning wisdom
by experience, will be cautious where
they place their confidence hereafter.
Already new leaders are springing up,
and if they are not abler men or bet
ter versed in the science ot Govern
ment than the old ones, they are gen
erally more conservative and less apt
to t.ike up with reckless and ruinous
schemes. Statesmen— statesmen in
the true meaning of tbe term—will in
due time appear on the political stage
in tbe South as of old, and take their
part in guiding our country to its glo
rious destiny.— St. Louis (Mo.) lie
