The Western States of America,

A correspondent in a contemporary writes as
follows :—You know more about the American war
than I do, though I am near a field of battle; but,
while you hear about great things, I see small de•
tails. This is a great country, and there is room
in it for all the spare population of Europe—room
and food, work and plenty. I have seen but one
person asking charity, and she was a blind Irish•
woman. As we rush over these vast plains we see
wide oceans of yellow Indian corn, sugarcane, wild
grass, and wheat stubbles, with occasional islands of
green trees. Leave the railroad and take a stretch
into the country, and it is still the same. In a
thing like a tray upoa four wheels we drive where
we will, for this is a land of liberty ; occasionally
we meet a train of waggons steering out into the
wide world, with a human freight and a lot of gear;
they are farmers who have sold their land, and
are seeking new pastures to plough. When they
get to their new station they knock up a house with
a few pounds, plough up the prairie, and, without
more ado, sow and reap and prosper. I have mea-
sured stalks of natural grass over eight feet high.
I have walked through acres of it higher than my
head. The Indian corn is like a small forest, each
stalk hung with two or three yellow ears, each
yielding 700 to 900 fold. Cattle and horses are fat
and lazy as the pig, and there is a market for every-
thing close at hand. If there were a hill to look
at this would be an earthly paradise, as it seems.
The people I have fallen in with are chiefly
from old countries—Swiss, Germans, Norwe-
gians, English, Scotch, and Irish. Those who
have strong arms use them and get.on ; those who
have brains and arms prosper. This is one
side of this fair picture, but no landscape is com-
plete without a shadow, and the shadow here is the
draft. One man has two eons in the war, another
has lost some near relation, a third has come home
broken down with hardship, another has lost a leg
and goes limping about on crutches, without pay or
pension, "cussing." At any moment a man who
has spent his strength to make a home is liable to
be drawn and sent to fight whether he will or riot,
and dismay reigns in this " bread-basket of the
world." Same days ago I was quietly reading a stupid
novel in one of the long cars on one of the railroads
which make an iron network in North America.
We stopped at a country station, and I was over-
whelmed by an avalanche of gray-coated men. They
stumbled in and filled the car to overfhwing, One
sat on my knee, another sat beside me, a third
made a pile of packs and sat on my feet, and a
cluster stood round us. All were sturdy, brown-
faced, hard-handed men, bat they did not seem to
fit into their gray clothes, and it soon appeared
that they had been " drawn." The only happy
face among the whole lot belonged to a lad who
was half seas over; he was a substitute; he had
got 1,000 dole. from a richer man who could pay
for his hide, and he was performing "Dixie" on
a Jew's harp. " What have you done with your
money," said I; "Drunk it ?" Zile Scotch Yankee
youth winked his eye. " I've put it where I can
find it again if I come back, and if I don't, them
that's at home knows where to get it, I guess," and
then he resumed " Dixie," and worked away till he
wore a raw on his:lip with his iorefiager. My neigh-
bour on the right was as grim as a signpost, and he,
too, was a horny-handed Scotch farmer. We got
our mouths opened with a pipe, and it soon ap-
peared that he and the rest were " bad"—that is to
say, exceedingly disgusted at having to go to the
war. His brother had his head knocked off by a
cannon ball, and he had been drawn, and he had not
got a thousand dollars to pay for a substitute. As
we smoked his heart seemed to warm up to his home.
There was the town, there the Court-house, there the
local institutions for educating the children of citi-
zens free gratis and for nothing, as well as they could
be taught at Edinburgh or Glasgow. That was fine
land off which a man could get a " turf crop" the
first year, and then sorrow came over the honest
brown face, and he seemed to remember that he was
a prisoner going to be drilled and shot at, It was
evident why sentries with fixed bayonets stood at
the doors. By the aid of an apple and a cigar the
, nearest sentry was set agoing, and he explained
that this lot was " ugly," but that there was no
danger of anything unpleasant as he thought, and
then he puffed placidly and spat vigorously upon
my poor novel which had fallen on the floor. At
the neat station we stopped, and the conductor
roared " all out for dinner." " Yes," grumbled
my neighbour, " for them as can get out." " Let
none of our men out of the cars," shouted
a captain. I got out, and dined well and
cheaply, bought a lot of batty for my neighbours,
and returned. I met my friend getting out, fol-
lowed by a soldier with his loaded piece. " All
right," he said, " I have spoken to the captain,"
and off they went towards the refreshment room.
Ding-dong went the engine bell, and the train began
to move. The captain beckoned, but the train went
faster. He beckoned harder than ever, and the
recruit came hurrying slowly over the bounds. The
train went on, and by the time the soldier of the
Republic got to the step it was going so fast that to
leap in was a serious risk not to be incurred, of
course ; so the Scotchman looked and made signs,
and gradually faded away in the distance. One of
the institutions of this country is a rope, which
passes from car to car, and to the engine ; the cape
tain seized it and pulled, but by some accident the
cord was loose, and it came away till there was
" quite a coil of it." Then the captain looked round
the corner and " cussed," and the sentry, turning
to me said, with unction, " Well, now, that's
awful ; them's thousand dollar men."
Now, whether the Scotchman and his sentry
" skedaddled" or came on by the next train, I do
not know, but not a man moved a step afterwards
without a sentry- at his heels, with his hand on the
lock of his gun. A second human avalanche of
Germans came down upon us at another station,
and so, packed like cattle on a freight train, we all
arrived at last. Now, sir, this a great country, and
she is shedding blood freely to wipe out the blot
of slavery from her institutions; perhaps you do
not know whose blood it is, how some of it is got,
and the price of " a thousand dollar man " in the
Western Stases. This is a great country, but I
don't seem to want to live in it. No, Sir.
One phase of this American war strikes a wan-
derer very forcibly; it is the change in the bearing
of those who are engaged in it, "It is not good for
man to live alone." Young swells in the old country
are sent to school to take the conceit out of them,
and they soon find their level in the crowd; but in
this vast country men live much alone, and solitude
works ill in their human nature. Those who have
trod the bypaths of Europe know the manners of
the people : the ways of a German beerhouse, of an
Irish whisky shop, of an English country tap; and
here in the west, a country devoid of graveyards,
a German boor from some wide plain, a Norseman
from his solitary glen, a Swiss, an Italian organ-
grinder, a Connemara man, a Scotch peasant, or an
English labourer takes up his abode in a forest, or
on a prairie, becomes a farmer, and lives alone.
With all his native roughness he settles down
where his nearest neighbour is miles away,
and he learns that he is a sovereign per-
sonage, one of the sovereign people, owner and
monarch of all he surveys. So he rusts and rusti-
cates for some years, or for half his life, and so his
children grow up, good stuff, but rusty blades. Once
in a while this country class travels. A son who
has swarmed from the parent hive sets out to visit
his parents, or a parent to visit a prosperous child.
From Rome to Vienna, from Milan to Paris, from
Hamburg to Madrid, cr from the Land's Ead to
John o' Groat's house are distances scarcely equal to
many of these visits. With travellers of this class a
vagrant in the Western States must associate, and
so he learns their wale. They are rough country
kings, right good stuff, independent, well fiy!, welt
pronperous, and good hittnonred ; they come
of the class who in Norway ray " thou" to the king,
but they are very rough diamonda hero. In the old
country they were used to kickup their heels, smoke,
chew, and spit freely ; they have done the came
more freely in their new country home, and when
they are jammed together 100 in one car they con-
tinue their home practice and spit pools. Recruits
are not the most polished members of any society,
and a crowd of recruits sifted from such a class is a
rough lot. In the State of Maine I fell in with e.

recruit. He was a lad of 20 or thereabouts, and
he was rather "tight.' He spoke of "Old
Jefl•" Davis" and " Abe," and what he would
say and do to them. He had once driven one
or other in a stage, and he would tell the " darned
old skunk" how to rule the nation and conduct
the war. Every fresh burst ended with the same
chorus, " I am a rock—in the ground." He was
a-very rough geological specimen, but he was on his
way to the mill. Some weeks later a vagrant friend
happened to meet the same youth, and found him
sad and sober ; all the crow was taken out of the
game chicken ; he had found his level in the
ranks, and his stiff neck had learnt to
bow to authority ; a drum mejor, more des-
potic than Jeff. Davis, had dethroned the sove-
reign, and he was tamed. Later I was crammed
into cars with sciliers returning from the front,
and their bearing was different ; the " rock
in the ground" becomes a granite boulder by dint of
hard knocks, and the soldier gets hacked and
chipped into form. In a crowd of recruits men
struggle for life and for elbow room ; the weakest
go to the wall, and the strongest only holds his
place by sitting sturdily in it ; but in a crowd of
soldiers it is not so. One upright bronzed man,
with stripes on his well worn-jacket, rose unasked
to let two friends sit together ; another rebuked a
waiter for keeping an old man waiting. In endless
nameless ways camp manners outshine the country
manners of rank and file, for the civilian is civi-
lised by discipline.
The way by which the change is wrought is plain
as the change itself. een army of autocrats could do
little in the field, so Liberty has to whip her naughty
boys. She does not flog them, but she finds ways
to tame her rebellious cubs. The schoolmaster in
"Midshipman Easy" had found out that one caning
was worth two floggings, and the most stubborn
Yankee scholar has to yield when hung up by his
thumbs for a good spell. This charge of demeanour
appears in all grades. Many green officers are
noisy .oystering biades, full of very strange oaths,
and bearded to their full power. Some " Cap.
tains" and " Colonels" are like escaped counter-
jumpers; but the old hands are generally quiet,
silent, courteous men, with the open steady *eye and
fixed gaze which men carry face to face with death.
The majority are old hands though young iu years ;
they dress the part ill, but they act it well, never-
theless ; their clothes may be threadbare, worn, and
dirty, but they have the bearing of gentlemen who
are good soldiers. Surely this adversity has done
some good. The traditional, cute, nasal boasting,
drawling, impudent, long-haired, offensive being
portrayed by Mrs Trollope and Dickens appeared
last night on the boards of a Yankee theatre; but
the real man, if he exists anywhere, has not yet
crossed the devious path of your obedient servant,
A VAGRANT.
St. Louis, Missouri, October.

The Alleged Federal Recruiting in Liverpool
and London.

Considerable interest continues to ba excited in Liverpool
by the stoppage of the ship Gra: t Western, bound for New
York, on suspicion that she was engaged in carrying out a
number of young men from Ashton and London who had
been engaged as Federal recruits, though ostensibly as glass
workers. On Wednesday afternoon the Collector of Cus-
toms sent two officers on board the Great Western and pro-
hibited her sailing, and at Capt. Cunningham's rt quest de •
tectives went on board, who personally asked about 200 of
the suspected recruits whether they would elect to leave the
vessel or to go in her to New York. Of these four men from
Ashton only agreed to leave the vessel. Capt. Cunningham
asked the police authorities yesterday to take about 150 men
out of his ship and to allow him to go to sea, but he was
informed that the police had no power to do so. At night 50
of the men were sheltered at the workhouse, and yesterday
food was given to them at the expense of Mr Hull, solicitor,
who was engaged during the day in taking the depositions
of a numbcr of the men, preparatory to bringing the matter
under the notice of the magistrates. We were informed yes-
terday afternoon that the municipal authorities had again
taken up the case, and intend bringing it before the borough
magistrates to-day (Friday). They were doubt'ess induced
to take this step from the fact that two young men from
London, who left the Great Western on Wednesday night,
state that they were positively offered commissions in the
Federal army. A number of the emigrants from Ashton
were sent back last night at 6 o'clock,

At the Ashton-under-Lyne borough magistrates' meet-
ing on Wednesday, Mr G. litigleish, chief constable, said
he wished to call the attention of the bench to a system
which was alleged to have been carried on in Ashton-under-
Lyno and the district of engaging young men to go to work
in glassworks in Now York. Eighty young men had left
Ashton on the previous night, and from what he had heard
he suspected that they were taken away for the purpose of
being draughted into the Northern army. Mr Dalgleish then
referred to an article and a letter, signed "George Under-
wood," which appeared in the Liverpool Mercury of Wednes-
day morning, and said he had had a conversation with one
of the agents, who had told him that the firm in New York
had engaged 300 young men in London, but that the crimps
had got hold of them at New York and had draughted them
into the army. The magistrates' clerk said he supposed
these young men had not been accustomed to work in glass-
works. Mr Dalgleish said they had not, and ho understood
a majority of them had not a penny in their pockets. He
had been told they had been offered 15 dola a month. He
further said he understood there had been an agent in the
district engaging young men, who gave the name of Roupell
or Russell, Maiden-lane, New York. Ile had, however, it
was alleged, left the district; and Mr Hugh Shaw, Staley-
bridge-road, was said to be acting fur him, and his (Shaw's)
brother to have accompanied the young men to Liverpool
on Tuesday. He had been told that the agent had been told
to look at the teeth of the young men engaged. The ma-
gistrates' clerk further advised Mr Dalgleish to see the
mayor as to the desirableness of summoning a meeting of
magistrates relative to this subject, and Mr Dalgleish said
he would do so. The matter then dropped.

GENERAL Tom TIIUMB.—After an interval of some
eight years, a visit has been again paid to our shores
by Mr C. S. Stratton, better known to the world as General
Tom Thumb, a title of which he seems to be as proud now
as when he first appeared among us in 1844. The distin-
guished general does not now come alone, for, following
the example so generally set around him, he has taken unto
himself a wife, and has been fortunate enough to find a
helpmate evidently intended to bo his by nature, This
little lady who has linked her destiny with that of her re-
nowned husband is rather the taller of the two, and possesses
a pleasing expression of countenance, in addition to a figure
which may be considered faultless, especially by those who
look on a tendency to full development as no disadvantage.
Providence has blessed their union, for with the parents
comes a little girl about 12 months old. This interesting
baby, who partakes of the proportions of her parents, is of a
very lively disposition, though at present rather shy and
disinclined to see too many visitors at once. Another mem-
ber of the family has yet to be mentioned—the sister of
Mrs Stratton, Miss Minnie Warren, aged 18, to whom
Dame Nature has even been more sparing in form than to
her sister or brother in law. The present visit to Europe
is entirely one of pleasure, and would appear to have arisen
from a desire on the part of the general to renew acquaint-
ance with many of his old friends in Engand, and also from
a laudable wish to gratify his wife's desire to sees" the old
country" and some portions of the Continent. This wish
on the part of Mrs Stratton probably arises in great part
from the fact that she is of English descent, her grandfather
having been a native of England who emigrated to the
States. The general, his wife and child, and Miss Warren
will remain in London but a few days ; but before their
departure
,for Paris visits will be received at Cataldi's
Hotel, Dover-street, from all to whom invitations have
been sent. After landing at Liverpool last week the hotel
at which Mr and Mrs Stratton were staying was literally
besieged by persons anxious to 803 them ; but, in order to
prevent any such inconvenience in London, only those who
have received invitations will be admitted to an into-view.
As the question of age will doubtless arise in visitors'
minds, it may be mentioned that Mrs Stratton has seen 22
summers, and that her liege lord is her senior by seven
years.

MADAME TTISSAIJD'S.—Amongst the many beau•
tifally executed.models, life size, which have recently been
added to the celebrated Historical Gallery, in Baker-street,
we would call special attention to those of Riohard 11. and
his Queen, Isabella; Henry IV. and his Queen, Joan of
Navarre; Henry VI. and his Queen, Margaret of Anjou;
Edward, the Black Prince, encased in a costly suit of
armour; the youthful Edward V , who with his infant
brother, the Duke of York, was barbarously murdered in
the Tower of London by order of his uncle, Richard 111, ;
Archbishop Wickham, &c. &c., all being attired in the
magnificent costumes of the respective periods.
THE BELFAST RIOTS.—BELFAST, Wednesday.—.
The commissioners resumed at eleven o'clock this
morning. The first witness examined was the Right Rev.
Dr. Dornan, who stated with reference to the police force,
the Catholics generally have not confi4ence in them, and he
would prefer a force like the metropolitan. With respect
to the magistracy. ho advocated tha appointment of a num-
ber of Roman Catholics or liberal Protestants. He gave
instances of assault and wrecking during the riots, and
considered that if more vigilant measures had been used in
the beginning the riots would have been nipped in the bud.
Mr Sullivan was examined, and detailed the murderous
attack made on him by the Protestant party when the
Bankatoor Penitentiary was being wrecked. A witness at
great length detailed the attack of the ship carpenters on
the navvies.. The last witness examined was Mr Bernard
Hughes, who had not finished at the rising of the cone.,
