who signs himself John bulkhead Magruder
stands prominent; His address to his sol

hoods and calumnies. In reading it, it is
almost impossible to realize that Magruder
is the same man who,a little more than a year
ago, was parading the streets of Washington
boasting of his loyalty, and swearing that
be would not leave the flag. He had been
pampered and spoiled under Mr. Buchan
an's Administration. First Omitted to revel
at the expense of the treasury in foreign
countries, and afterwards place command
or the barracks at Newport, Rhode Island,
where he lived in a,style of princely brin
g, he- went over to the rebellion with a
lie in his throat and perjury written on his
brow. And this is the "Major General Com -
manding" of, the forces opposed to General
McClellan at Yorktown ! A creature thus
tebased, a fellow who has made his infamy a
boast, and his treason the scorn of all honor-
Ale men, now prates of "the wrongs of the
Southern pdople," "of the yoke of' the op
pressor," and "of freeman who know their

yet," he says, in the conclusion of his address
"strike down our ruthless invaders ami d the
smoking ruins of their cities, and with arms
in our hands dictate terms of peace on their
own soil." Magruder is the fitting chief of
a reckless and conscienceless rebellion. A

to the resolution calling on` him for informa

he was not tried ere this, was because the
