Gen. Lyon.
The death of Gen. Lyon is bitterly lamented by the Northern press. He was a regular officer of such unusual energy and enterprise that, not long ago, he was seriously spoken of by the ‘"On to Richmond"’ wing of the Republicans as the proper man to put in the place of Gen. Scott. Lyon and McClellan were the brag Generals of the North, and one of them has already bitten the dust. McClellan is now their sheet anchor; but how long he will continue so, remains to be seen. The first misstep will hurl him from power as rapidly as he has risen, or a Southern bullet may send him after Lyon.
