Passing from -this branch of the sub, ject General Sharp turned his attention to "the closing scenes of the rebellion," beginning with Ley's move against, and capture of Fort Steadman. Gen. Lee learned that Grant was preparing to move early in March, while no other Uniou commander? had ever dared to attempt a move before May. He wislu ed to make Grant believe that the Confederate army was stronger and more vigorous than he had supposed, and to this end two brigades were hurl- since. It treated 241 patients in 1872 discharging 252. Of these 30 were free. Of those discharged 190 were dischari ged with great hopes of a permanent re formation. Fifty seven were dischar ged unimproved. Some curious facts are given about the 25o.

SPENCER"$ WEDDING CAKE. From the Young Ladies Column in the N. C. Presbyterian. A wedding cake, young ladies, is no unapt emblem of the life which its name foreshadows. Very fair indeed to look at is the life matrimonial, but after getting into it, some disappoint ment is apt to be- felt at first, on ac count of the contrasts. Outside and inside are not alike. things (all apart. Sugar requires much judgment in the managing of it.

In thU extraordinary cae let us make a notable exampfe, and do what in u$ lies to ftemthe tide olofl cial peculation and plundering and mal feasance which deluges the land, sapping the very foundations of our ltberjy, bring ing disrepute upon popular Institution, and almost making a mock of all faith in human Integrity. watching and tempering and guarding, we at last attain unto something dif ferent from all a life on the whole richer, more varied, more, valuable, more beautiful than anything we have hitherto known. (Nevertheless, it is not to be denied that with every precaution a wedding cake may turn out all dough. Mis takes occur in the best regulated fami lies, but on this topic let us not en large.) i THE BURNING OF MOSCOW. The burning of Moscow, iu 1812, is one of the most noted conflagrations cept to say this, that it certainly can not be true that an officer who is be ing investigated and who has been found by the evidence to bej a crimi nal against the laws' of the land can flee from justice by any act of his own. '-'!' The results of an impeachment, Mr. j Speaker, are twofold : One- is to re move from office and the other is to disqualify from holding oflice here after. The removal from office is ac complished by the resignatiop, but the other portion of the penally re mains un inflicted. Certainly " it is within the power ofthe Senate sitting as a court of impeachment to impose on record, not only on account of its magnitude, but for its historical impor- !tnat penalty, and the officer cannot tance. The French entered the city Scptember 14, Napoleon proposing to escape it by hasty resignation, which is virtually a flight from justice: I make it his Winter quarters.

The severest shock the Grant admin istration has yet received was the expos ure of Gen. Belknap, Secretary of War, made by the Congress Committee on Expense of the War Department. It seems that a Mr. Marsh testified beforo the Committee that he had paid Belk nap ten thousand dollars cash and six thousand dollars per year for the post traderships at Fort Sill and other army posts in the southwest. In consequence of this revelation, not being able to con trovert Marsh or to explain the equir-, ocal relations they had occupied, Belk nap resigned his portfolio, and hit res ignation was instantly accepted. - This man was a trusted friend ofthe, President, and one of the prominent supporters of his policy. He had as pired to be United States Senator, and he w s undoubtedly a shining light in the Radical heavens. Like Lucifer he has fallen, and great is his falL We feel sad at the degradation to the Amer ican name involved in his disgrace. We connot rejoice thereat, but rather mourn that the country's good name is daily dragged in the mire by such men as those Grant has collected around him. Ii il. ,?bir. Hon. Tiios. R. Ashe.
