world. 13ut, as every system reacts on itself, the
consequence of the adoption of a method so arti-
ficial is to compel still greater care in keeping the
soldier, and the populations from which he taken,
utterly sunk in ignorance, lest, if the armies should
but learn their real purpose and ve)rk, a convulsion
of despair might yet vindicate their manhood. So
the downward progress ever advances with
increasing velocity, men are ever more and
more degrades, and, as their masters have
themselves confessed, it becomes every day more
and more needful to absorb and destroy all
states in which the image of liberty is still reflected.
Twenty years ago, we watched with apprehension
the strides of Russia over the steppes of Central
Asia, and feared the extending influence of France
in the East. Oar alarm at that time was only for
India; yet it was sufficient to engage us in despe-
rate wars, lest our situation by quiescence might
become such as no war could redeem. But the mare 3
of our enemies is now no longer eastward upon our
dependencies, but westward upon our allies and
aurselve. And because we now think we made
blunders in resisting it by force when it only
threatened to curtail the limits of our Empire, we
have come to the conviction that we ought to allow
it to hold its way when it strikes at the very centre.
Strange infatuation ! Singular delusion, to imagine
that a system by its nature so inevitably aggressive
will be driven back by the narrow seas that protect
our shores ! Like Canute, we sit on the brink, and
bid it recoil at our word but, unlike Canute, we
believe in the potency of our own command, and
calmly watch the tide as it submerges all surround-
ing objects, confident that it dare not come to u 3.
Heaven grant that we may soon receive such warn-
ing as will at last rouse us—a warning merciful, if
it be but severe enough to teach us that we are
mortals too, that we cannot dissever our fate from
that of our fellow-men, and that, if we would retain
freedom, civilisation, Christianity itself, we must be
ready to fight for them whenever they are assailed.

6' THE EXAMINER" AND " THE NORTHERN
WHIG" ON THE IRISH VICE-ROYALTY.--The Earl
of Carlisle being compelled by ill health to resign
the Lord-Lieutenancy of Ireland, again the questi in
arises whether it be worth while to maintain an
office of which all the uses seem to have departed.
We need not repeat what we have often said in ex-
pressing our wish for its abolition. One evil in the
office, as matters now stand, is that respect for Ire.
land makes it desirable to send a man of high cha.
racter and ability; yet it is hard on an able man to
ask him to play the part of a State dummy. Our
respected contemporary, the Northern Whig, sug-
gests the appointment of Prince Alfred, and if that
be not feasible, asks whether the Government cane
not find an Irish nobleman who would grace the
office:—" We have no great sympathy with the
cry of ' Ireland for the Irish,' which often means,
6 All Ireland for the Irish, and as much of England
as we can get,' but we are patriotic enough to think
that it is a slight upon the fair fame of our Irish
aristocracy to pass them over in the case of the
vice-Royalty. It cannot be said that there are no
Irishmen who are eligible for the office. An Irish-
man now governs Canada, and there would be more
of the class in similar positions if they chose to
leave home. It may appear invidious to make a
election, but there is one nobleman whose great
abilities, elegant taste, courteous manners, and culti-
vated judgment eminently fit him to be at the head
of the Viceregal establishment. We refer to Lord
Dufferin. His lordship did good service in the
East, and he was soon afterwards offered one of the
highest offices in the gift of the Crown, which he
refused because its acceptance would necessitate his
departure from Ireland. We have not had an Irish-
Luau in the (Zee of Viceroy since the Revolution.
Lord Pelmerston's policy cannot be said to be
"measures, not men," but the reverse. We can
assure him that it would be a most popular measure
for him to select an Irishman for the post of Lord.
Lieutenant. This is well suggested, and the credit
given to Lord Dufferin is even leas than his due. If
the Vice-Royalty is to be continued, a more desire
able man to fill it cannot be imagined. Is there a
dignity beyond that of ceremonial in the Viceroy's
office ? Can a true political service really be done to
the two kingdoms by a viceroy specially apt for his
duty, whom the two kingdoms would gladly trust,
and who could bring high aims, warm sympathies,
clear judgment, and the quick insight of genius to
the public service? If so. Lord Dufferin is of all
men the one most able to show that it is so. Ei.har
let the office be got rid of as worneout upholstery of
State, or let it be treated as a real and living trust,
and given to a man with every claim on Irish sym-
pathy and the full confidence of England, who will
bring out whatever hidden value it may yet pos.
sets.

THE "SATURDAY REVIEW" OH THE LAST FEDERAL
DEFEAT.—The repulse of Grant's attack upon Petersburg
has produced a more painful impression in the North than
any of his previous failures. His repeated changes of the
plan of the campaign were applauded with deliberate levity,
as successiveimprovem ents on the original project which had
proved to be impracticable. His pliant tenacity in adapting
his measures to the necessities of his position were more
reasonably admired. No Federal General before him had
so fully appreciated the advantage of vast superiority in
numbers and resources. If he sacrificed a large army in
fighting his way to the James River, where he ;night have
landed without the loss of a man, he surprised both friends
and enemies by proving that he could still afford to threaten
Petersburg and Richmond. For the obsolete anaconda
popular fancy substituted a bulldog who had fastened on
the throat of the rebellion, nor was it necessary to remem-
ber that every other line of approach had been vainly
essayed before the enemy was attacked in front. The defeat
in the breach of Petersburg has, for the first time, disturbed
the easy confidence of the North. It is generally felt that
no alternative plan of campaign can be discovered, nor can
the loss of 6,000 men be regarded, as in the beginning of
the summer, with indifference or complacency. The most
discouraging circumstance is the employment of negro
troops in the decisive assault. During all the previous
operations since the passage of the Rapidan, General Burn-
side has commanded the reserve, including the greater
portion of the coloured regiments. It is impossible to sup-
pose that Grant would have risked his success on the
steadiness of the blacks, if he had not already expended
the best portion of his army. Even in the last assaults,
he seems, as might have been expected, to have
placed white troops in front ; and if the Confederates
had been driven from their defences, the negro
regiments might have been competent to improve the vic-
tory. Little blame can attach to recruits from a servile and
despised race for their inability to stand against adversaries
of unsurpassed energy and daring ; but the panic which
ensued, though perfectly excusable, was not the less fatal
to the hopes of the North. The losses of Grant's army
since it crossed the Rapidan are variously estimated at
80,000, at 100,009, and at 150,000 men. Whatever may be
the actual numbers, it is certain that the best troops have
been expended in the earlier battles. It is as natural for a
general to use his chosen regiments first as for a mechanic
to put a steel point to an iron tool. Napoleon, indeed,
generally held his Guard in reserve; but the bulk of his
army was superior in fighting qualities to his continental
opponents. In the Italian war of 1859, the picked troops of
the French army were always placed in the front, and one
of the supposed reasons for the hurried pacification was the
approaching necessity of depending on the conscripts. The
composition of the Federal army involves an unusual amount
of inequality. The soldiers who have served through two
or three campaigns are better than the recent levies, and
the itegroes, though they have displayed commendable
discipline and steadiness, fall far short of the standard of
American or European efficiency. If Grant was not forced

defeat or destruction of the negro regiments will tend to
discredit the strange measures by which the Northern
States are prepared to answer the demand for 500,000
recruits. When Congress, after many changes of pur-
pose, finally abolished the money compensation for the
personal service of conscripts, a singular clause in the
statute provided that substitutes might be procured from
lieliable
the States in rebellion. As the Confederate population is
by no means likely to volunteer suicidal assistance to the
North, the measure was intended to apply exclusively to
fugitive or liberated slaves. A citizen of New York or
Massachusetts who finds himself drafted for service, in-
stead of going into the market fc.r Irish or German substi-
tutes, will employ a broker to find a negro volunteer at the
market price of the day. It seems scarcely probable that a
sufficient number of coloured recruits will be ultimately
forthcoming; but the supply is not yet exhausted, and the
morrow must take care of itself. For the present the nego.
tiations are conducted on behalf of States or townships
which desire to fill up their quota before the compulsory
draft is enforced. Under the pressure of immediate per-
sonal liability, prices are likely hereafter to undergo a
rapid•
rise. If a large coloured army is raised, the Con-
federates will have little cause for alarm, No proceeding
could be more certain to estrange the feelings of the North
from a warlike policy. The honour of the Federal arms
would be compromised by the inevitable defeat of the
black mercenaries; and even if it were possible
that they should conquer, their success would grate
upon all the national sympathies and prejudices. The vic-
torious army must occupy the South, after overpowering
resistance in the field, and the Northern Americans are not
yet prepared to place their countrymen in subjection to
emancipated negro slaves. It is only as auxiliaries that
the coloured regiments can be safely employed, even if they
can be induced to take arms against their former masters.
