MILITARY SUBORDINATION IN THE lINITRD STATES.
—The dram National of yesterday says :—" Sim we are
to receive oar great lams from America, there is one which
we moat repaid; it is the respectful subordination of the
military to the civil authority. Sherman so briniest in his
moist rampage, Sherman to whom so much hemp has
been Isadore& for his inoomperable merits, Sherman is
publicly disavowed by the civil government, and he accepts
this disavowal with respect and obedience, faithful to de-
znemotie discipline, end showing as much eagerness to
unbind to the &deans of the chiefs who have given him
the law as to advance against the enemy. We are rejoiced
to see American events 000tribate so powerfully to *a-
light** the public mind of Europe by them teachings.*

books of "The Holy Land," "Egypt and Nubia" sad
"Spas," with some of his original studies for pictures
Afterwards painted. The studies made in Egypt and Nubia
are especially interesting, sod., as we remarked when they
were shown in Conduit-street, retain more of the spirit and
bloom of the artist's first impressions of Eastern memory
then the finished pictures. The sketches of Edinburgh and
other places in his satire Socitlend are also smog the more
istareeting of his works.
THE DEATH or THE CZARZWITCH.—The parti-
eiders which we were ambled to publish last week of the
Ulnas of the late Csarewitch were of groat medical interest
in more than *se respect. They have interest, as clearly
showing that the disease of which the Cm:switch died was
not of the nature of the cerebroapina meningitis now
epidemic about the Lower Vistula. So far from this death,
which has axasiosed universal sadism, being of a sudden
or epidemic nature, the disease had been going on for
years, and would seem to have been serious for three
