The Army.-In the Senate of
the U. S. on the 29th uk. a reso
lution was introduced proposing
to abolish the office of Major Ge
neral of the Army of the U. S. re
cently vacated by the death of Ja
cob Brown:
Mr. MACON expressed him
self friendly to the object of the
resolution; he thought it a bad
matter to have too many high offi
ces in time of peace. The ex
ploits in the late war were per
formed by men in the vigor of life
and manhood he would not,
however, reflect on old men, and
if we were ever engaged in ano
ther war, it would be the same
kind of men that would lead our
soldiers to victory. There was
frequently as much military capa
city exhibited by men in private
life, as in those who had been
long in service. He was led to
believe that an army was pretty

says: "On Sunday night last, (9th
inst.) between 11 and 12 o'clock,
a shock of earthquake was felt in
this city; which, though short in
its duration, was so violent as to
cause a jar of windows and furni
ture sufficient to awake many of
our citizens. "
The Petersburg Intelligencer
states, that the Northern papers
generally speak of an earthquake,
which was felt about 11 o'clock,
on the evening above stated
and says, "upon enquiry we have
been told the shock was likewise
