Chief Justice Taney Dead.
Chief justice Taney, whose death we
should have announced last week, had been
in ill health for several years, but the imme
diate cause of his decease was chronic dis-
ease of the bowels. He did not, however,
take to his bed until Monday week, and it
was soon apparent that it was his last
sickness. His family physician, Dr.
Tyler, of Georgetown, with Dr. Hal',
of Washington, had been in con
stant attendance on the deceased, and on
Wednesday he was visited by Mr. Buckler,
of Baltimore. He commenced to sink rap
idly on Wednesday evening, and the lum
bers of the tsmily, who had been previously
summoned to Washington, were called to
bit bedside and took leave of him, and soon
after he became insensible and died without
a stuggle. Judge Taney leaves five &ugh
_ ters, four of whom—Mrs. Emivenson, Mrs.
Taylor, Mrs. Campbell and Miss Taney—
: were present at the time of his death, togeth
er with his son-in-law, J. Mason Campbell.
It is probable that, after the funeral solem
nities it Washington, the remains will be ta
ken to Frederick, Md., for interment.
Among the prominently named for sue
' cession to the Chiet Justiceship, are Ex-Sec
retary Chase, Secretary Staunton, Judge
', Advocate Gen. Holt and Solicitor Whitting.
It is hardly probable however, that any se
lection has yet been made.
Peace and War.
In order to form any idea ot the inestemn
ble vale, of peace, we must enter the field
ot battle. and mark the awful desolation of
war. When we witness the number of dead
lyteg on the ground, and ourselves as it
were wading in their blood,—when we hear
the shrieks and dying groans of the wound
ed,—we cannot forbear exclaiming, "0 !
what a blessing is puce? War is the moth
er ot poverty : peace is the mother of plenty.
War engenders the worst of feelings that can
be engrafted in human nature.—peace cre
ates the best sensations in the minds of men.
War produces every sort of deception and
via,—peace is attended with sincerity truth
and virtu. Anger and wrath are the chil
dren of war,—commisseration and kindness
are the offspring of peace.
• The peace maker is engaged in a good
woe. It is the cause of God and of the
tights of man. To be its cordial friends is
oar most important duty, our most unparal-
SedlOnor, and our most invaluable privil
-ego. this is our employment and our de
light, we need not envy the praises of he
iress; and we need not wish to wear the
crowns of kings. Let them glory in their
shame and be shamed of their glory• The
*nee of peace must prosper, and will ulti
inately triumph. God has declared that
'`natnin shall not lift up sword against Da
lton, 'neither shall they learn war any more ;
Ine the kingdoms of this world shall become
tabs kingdoms of our God and of his Christ."

05Y-The National Debt of the United
States is about 4,000,000,000 of dollars.—
This enormous debt was accumulatee, in car
rying out Mi. Lincoln's negro policy. It is
increasing at the rate of three millions of dol
lars per day in advancing . the mine cause.—
Mr. Lincoln says he wilt not stop the war un
til all the slaves are emancipated, 'and 'if he
is re-elected, the present immense daily ex

Farmers at the Notrh often complain
seriously that the seasons are too short
for the execution of all their work and
the ripening of then , crops • A cure, for
this evil has been found iii under-drain
ing. Instead of waiting several weeks
for the soil to become dry they are en
abled to plough well-drained, land at
once, to take time by the forelock, and
to get through the work without hurry
ing before others have begit' n. It also
' enables theta to work more economically
by not being compelled tv hire extra la
bor in a hurried season. Dry lands
being less liable to frostS in anitimn, the
crops may continue to grow later.—
The editor of the New England Farmer
estimates, from his own experiments,
that he had thus lengthened the season

Gen. Hood Still Retreating.
NEW Yortx, Oct. 19.—A Herald spe
cial, dated Chattanooga, September 18,
says: From last accounts, Sherman's
'army was in the vicinity of Willonva,
Ga. The rebels were retreating on Sum
merville, and were supposed to lie tall
mg back towards the Blue Mountains.
Wheeler is hanging about R9me. For
reSt was threatening to cross near
Bridgeport and hold the gaps on Pigeon
Mountain fin• the purpose of aiding
Hood in moving his army to Bridgeport.
He is now covering Hood's retreat.
Sherman is skirmishing with Hood's
rear.
The result of Hood's movements are
iiivorable to our army. It is thought he
will not give battle unless to hard
pressed by Sherman. Hood's wagons,
and a brigade as a guard, are at Culla
dia. He may possibly give battle at this
point; if not, he will have t.) fall back
on Galena, Alabama, were communi
cations are open.
Gen. Slocum, at Atlanta, sent out a
foraging party of 1,500 wagons towards
Rough and Ready and Decatur, and all
returned laden with corn. The army
has plenty of supplies, both in Atlanta
and in the field. It is thought Rood
has all his army with him, and it is sup
posed to be about 35,000 men. Prison
ers and scouts state that they are living
on parched corn and some dried fruit
collected through the country.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.—The Charles

from Atlanta, dated October 10, which
says:
The correspondent of the Montgomery
Mail with Hood's army, say s th e occu
pation of Rome was effected without a
fight, and the dash into Marietta was
bloodless. When Sherman learned that
Hood had moved northward, he ,orossed
the river with two corps, and formed a
line of observation at Vinning,' s Station.
General Hood's line crossed the railroad
at Big Shanty on the fourth. The two
armies held this position to each other
without tiring a gun. On the fifth,
Sherman. withdrew, retiring to Atlanta.
Our army then set to work, effectually
destroying the railroad from Big Shanty

Marietta to Dalton were destroyed. We
