SINGULAR THINGS.
A tii is spending injcerfgress to pre
vent any man from becoming an officer
in the United States army who served
in tMCon&ateir& nd yet at the
same time we are told that the military
committee of the House has just ap
pointed General Joseph E. Johnston to
reorganize the United States army. All
agree that he is the best soldier in Con
gress, and fully equal t6 Hie important
task imposed upon him, but it seems
strange to many that even the greatest
t surmincaTptai& fj $h Confederacy
' should be caued upon to reorganize the
army now under the command of the
general to whom he surrendered. This
shows what a wonderful country this
is, and how rapidly we would be one
peopletlfhettl0anaL would only let
us aloneT 'The'ar'my officers will be
better satisfied that' General Johnston
flhouM-do this work than that it shoulcL
be committed to civilians, who do not
understand when changes and reduc
tions can be profitably made?
If Gen. Johnston can reorganize the
army, and if those who'served the Con
federacy can sit in Congress and in
the Cabinet, why should they not be
permitted to serve as officers of the
rf army?

Richmond, Va., Dec. 16. The Gener
al Assembly to-day voted for a United
States Senator to succeed Senator
Withers, whose time expires March 4th.
18B1. The vote was taken in the two
houses in separate sessions. In the
House the nominees were Hon. Robt.
E. Withers, Gen. Wm. Mahone and
Gen. W. C. Wickham. The vote re
suited : Mahone 56, Withers 40, Wick
ham 2. In the Senate the only nomi
nees were Withers and Mahone. The
nominating speeches were marked by
the usual political crimination and re
crimination and occupied the attention
of the Senate until 3.15 p. m., when the
vote was taken, resulting: Mahone 23,
Withers 13, Wickham 3, John W. Daniel
1. The joint vote was as follows: Num
ber of votes cast, 138 ; necessary to a
choice 70; of which Mahone received
79, Withers 53, Wickham 5 and Daniel
1. The two houses will meet in joint
session to-morrow at noon, when a
formal vote will be taken and Gen.
Mahone be declared duly elected Unit-

ENGLAND AND THE AFGHANS.
The Thunderer Believes That the
Crisis Has Been Reached and
Passed.
London, December 1G. The Times,
in a leading editorial this morning,
says: "The news from Afghanistan in
dicates beyond doubt that the crisis has
been reached in our military operations
in that country of more import than
any through which we have passed
since -the commencement of the inva
sion. Happily, the position we occupy,
and the resources at our disposal, appear-to-
render us-better able to- meet
this emergency than any which have
yet preceded it, but our strength is be
ing tested more than hitherto."
The statement of the News, that
the Indian government has asked for a
reinforcement of 5,000 men, to be sent
out immediately, is probably untrue, as
the Viceroy of India telegraphed yes
terday that he had ample forces at his
disposal.
