Some men never wear socks Seeks are

Obituary—Ge*. Hubert BtoUduit Knell.
General Robert S. Ewell died at his resi
dence, in Mtury county, Tennessee, on
• Thursday morning.
General Ewell was fifty-two years of age.
He was b. rn in the District nf Oolumbia'in
the year 1820. His brother, Benjamin S.
Ewell, as well as the General himself, was
i educated in West Point Academy; Robert
S Ewell graduated thirteenth in his c'ass,

i Yliet, and ahead of Bu»)ir<>d R Johnson,
Colonel Oliver L. Shepherd and General
Thomas Jordan lie entered the United
S’a’es Army on the Ist of Julj, in the year
184), us Brevet Second Lieutenant; was
pri rn-.ted becund Lieutenant N »vember 1,
1840; First Lieutenant September 18, 1845,
and Brevet Captain August 20, 1840, '‘for
gallantry at 0 mtreas and Cherubusco,
Mexico.” lie was engaged against the
Indians in New MexiOo in June, 1857, and
in ibe year 1858 was placed in command
of the United States troops stationed at Fort
Buchanan, New Mexico. On the Ist ot
May, in the year 1801, Ewell re-igned hi*
cmimistdou t»s Captain of United States
i Dragoons and joined the Oonicdcraie army
of the 8 urn.
IL* took part in the battle of Bull Run.
where held Beauregard’s extreme right at
, Union Mills ford. His corps was ordered
! to advance towards Ceritreville and and and so,
1 but stiff-red a cheek from theUfon troops
i lie subsequently had his revenge for this in
def’siting Fremont’s advant'e on Gross K rt ys
j from Harrisonburg. Subsequently, by order
| of General Lee, in the campaign against
McCldlan, he operated on the leit bank of
the Cfiickahotnan v, watching the roads
leiding down to the Peninsula. When
Hooker advanced on Bristow station ho was
prevented from advancing by E veil’s divi
sion, which had been placed there by Jaek
t-on in tiih advance on Mana»ses. There
w’as a bri.*k engagement, resulting in a logs
of GOO about- evenly divided between to*
two armies. Ewell, however, lost a part of
bis baggage, hut before falling back on
J ickson at Manassas, be bad the satisfao
tion of burning tlie bridge and completely
destroying the railroad. 110 ker did nos
believe it prudent to pursue him. In tlie
subsequent operations of this part of the
campaign Ewell was s verelv wounded in
the affairs of Thoroughfare Gap, and in
consequence suffered tlie amputation of a
leg IDs division took part in the second
battle of Bull Run, and it was also present
at Harper’s Ferry. In the battle of Antic
tarn his men formed a portion of Jackson’s
c >rps, deserving the praise of being those
“iron soldiers against which Hooker’s corps
hurled itself and overwhelmed by superior
numbers.” Subsequently bis army, form
ally commanded by Stonewall Jackson,
captured Winchester, lie fought with dis
tinguished curage at Gettysburg, and he
helped to delay Meade two days tit M mas*
s is Gap, arid at the hattleof the Wilderness
his corps was for a time a tower of strength
to tUe Confederate troops. In Lee’s final
retreat he was cut off from the main body
of the defeated army, and after a desperate
resistance, which has merited unusually
high praise from a historian specially cold
to all the Generals of the South, he su<-*
reneered, with four Generals and 6,000
men. Ewell’s gallant conduct during the
war merits warm praise even from his
opponents in the field, and those who dif
fered from him in politics must admire the
dignity with which he has refused to allow
his epitaph to be used in the perpetuation
of partisan wars re— JV’Vminjton Star.
Tlie Political Situation—Letter from Ex-
Scnator Doolittle.
Racine, WTs , J rnuary 13, 1872.
M. C Galloway, E*q : * * * *
In mv opinion the present party holds
power simply because those who are opposed
to it do not act together. Three million
Democratic votes are opposed to it, and, as
I believe, nearly one million Republicans
are opposed to it. Can the four million
unite and vote together? If they can, they
will havj|e a maj >rity of five hundred thous
and. It they cannot, they must fail.
How can tliis union in political action be
effected? It cannot by a coalition of leaders
to obtain ( ffice and power. There most be
a urii-iri of the masses upon common prin
ciples, and to effect a common and great
patriotic purposes. ,
The whole country waits now lo see what
shall be the action nf the Liberal Republi
can convention to be held in Missouri on
the 24t0 irist.,
It hat convention shall plant Itself
squarely upon ideas, and pledge Itself to
pritciple-j, which all true Republ cons, and
all fruo Democrats of Jefferson’s and Jack
son’s school cherish as vital to the main
tenance of republican government, and to
constitutional civil liberty, they may com
maud the cotifi fence not only of the l.* 'O.• 00,
liberal Republicans, but of the 3,0 : 0 000
Democratic voters. But iu order to do so,
they must declare against centralization ;
against keeping military power above civil
authority ; against using the Federal arrriv
to control conventions and destroy the free
dom of elections ; against the stupendous
fraud*, speculations and r >hheries of the
carpet-bag g- vernoionts of the South, as
well as Tamany, the Custom II >use and
elsewhere : and in favor of universal en*
their just and equ and rights und »r the con
stitution, id favor of the principle of one
term for tho President ; of applying that
principle to the pre-ent Executive, and of
a practical civil service reform bv placing
a statesman « f capacity and integrity at the
i of aff-.'.is.
Should that convention take « me such
e ur*e, and the Liberal Republicans of
other gntes follow their examine and*h w
that the Liberal R publicans of tlie \vh de
country have the c ur tge to w rk. a..d. if
nec-ssary, make sacr fices to’sustain true
repub i -an lib rty, the great nines of the
Democratic voters would not only sym
pathize witfi hem. bui, in s me arid proper
and efficient mode, fratern ze with them in
political action ir» order to save our n pub
liean system of government. If they se* k
to lead, however, they must sh w themselves
worthy of leadership They mus r speak to
tne people in no uncertain tones and march
before them with faltering tread.
Respectfully yours,
J R Doolittle.
