THE SETN, LONDON, SAM,DAY EVENING, SEPTE Y113E4 20, 1862

never been a part of old STONEWALL'S stra-
tegy to let his opponents know how many
men he had with him. Poor POPE thought he
was but making a raid, when a large army was at
Manassas. One thing is amusing indeed. The old
" strategical reasons " are mooted again to account
for the presence of the Confederates in Maryland.
It was the policy of the Federals to bring them
there ! When will the Government or the people
of the North give up their inveterate habit of lying?
The strategic reasons are obviously the same as took
M'CLELLAN first to Harrison's Landing, next back
to Yorktown, and then POPE back to Washington
itself. Till some feat of Northern generalship
convinces us to the contrary, there can be but one
reason imagined for the Federals permitting the
entranee of their conquerors into Maryland—that
they could not help it.
We can, meanwhile, but be on the lookout for
stirring incidents now. If the Confederates be
really in sufficient force to prosecute the war
in Maryland, and M'CLELLAN be thus forced
into the field to meet them, we must
soon either hear of a fearful battle between
two very able men, or of a rapid Confede-
rate retreat across the Potomac. Washington, with
an army of 150,000 men in it, is not likely to be
attacked. LEE will not waste his men in this way.
But if he can succeed in isolating it from the rest
of the North, of what use, in the military sense,
ill it be to the Federals ? Hard, indeed, would
be the fate of Mr. LINCOLN if he had to pack up
all and leap on board his gunboats on the Poto-
mac, to prevent his papers sharing the fate of POPE'S
at Catlett's station. Yet it could hardly surprise
us, after what they have done, should they give
the PRESIDENT summary notice to quit; informing
him that, as Columbia district was carved out of
Maryland and Virginia originally, in this grand
secession it fairly belonged to the South. They
might say it was to them what Rome is to the
Italians.

prejudices, and tyrannies form a thick vault around
it, and so much darkness is above it. Alas ! since

man's birth the whole of history has been subterra-
nean. We see nowhere the divine ray ; but in the
nineteenth century, after the French revolution,
there is hope, there is certainty. Yonder, far in a
distance, a luminous point appears. It increases ;
it increases every moment ; it is the future ; it is
realisation ; it is the end of woe, the dawn of joy ;
it is Canaan, the future land where we shall only
have around us brethren and above us Heaven.
Strength to the sacred locomotive! Courage to
thought ; courage to science; courage to philosophy.
Courage to the press ! courage to all of you writers !
The hour is drawing nigh when men, delivered at
last from this dismal tunnel of 6,000 years, will
suddenly burst forth in all its dazzling bright-
ness !" There !—are not our words justified ?
Is not that for the Press something very like
indeed to an Apotheosis ? It is intensely
French. The French Revolution is everything.
The epoch of the Redemption is, therefore, we may
presume nothing by comparison. Nay, are the
words not positive upon this point. " Alas !" he
cries out, "since man's birth the whole of history
is subterranean." Adding, " Weisee nowhere the
Divine ray." Nor is this enough: he continues—
" But—in the nineteenth century—after the French
Revolution, there is hope, there is certainty." And
at the last, " The hour is drawing nigh when men,
delivered at last from this dismal tunnel of six
thousand years, will suddenly burst forth in all its
brightness." Are we not right in calling all this
intensely French ? M. VICTOR HUGO, carried
away by the impetus of his audacious genius, is
too fond repeatedly of approaching rashly to
the very verge of the profane. With our full
and absolute appreciation of the immense im-
portance of the Press as an institution, and of the
French Revolution (the French Revolution) as an
epoch in the history of humanity, the Ray
Divine came not, surely, in the age of ROBES•
PIERRE and his c:.) mpatriots, but Eighteen
Centuries previously ! And as to the simile
of the Tunnel through which the steam engine
of the Press, according to M. VICTOR HUGO,
is bearing onward the train of Civilisation to the
point at which it is to emerge into the outer day—
it is one that has an uncomfortable reminder
to us of that last wild phantasy of JOHN
MARTIN, the Great Poet-Painter, that won-
drous representation of the Dies Irce, in which
a railway train, engine, tender, and all, are
being spilt into an abyss that has abruptly opened
bKore them while in full career. It is to be regretted
that these and other, the like, only too charac-
teristic extravagances, have in any way served to
mar the touching and impressive address recently
delivered at Brussels to his admirers by VICTOR
HUGO, the Great Poet, the Great Dramatist, the
Great Novelist! One whose genius having, some few
years back, soared heavenwards with the tapering
pinnacles of Notre Dame de Paris, has now dif-
fused itself abroad far and wide amongst his fel-
low mortals, the lowliest and the most degraded
even amongst them, felons and strumpets, all the
scum and offal of the human family peopling,
together with the noble, and the beautiful, and the
good, the wonderful pages of Les Miserables.

What the effect of late reverses will be on the
general issue, no one can yet divine. All lies in
their effect on the temper of the North, and that is
not yet fully developed. The South has called for
300,000 more soldiers, probably to show the North
that it will not be vanquished by mere appeal to
numbers. The North has its last 300,000, though
we believe it is very doubtful whether they will
really be forthcoming ; but it threatens a draft
for as many more. Now, it is certain that, unless
there is a general enthusiasm for the war in the
North, this last army cannot be created. Will
there be That is the question. We much doubt
it, unless, indeed, the Government were strong
enough to throw slavery to the winds, and to begin
&steady, well considered plan for arming the negroes,
and causing conquest and emancipation to go hand
in hand. That this could be done we have little
doubt, but there is, we fear, neither the head nor
the heart for it. We read, indeed, a second time of
negro regiments to be enrolled at Hilton Head ; but
how can the negroes trust the bitterly contemptuous
Northern whites to deal fairly and honourably by
them. Were known friends of negroes able to act as
their generals, the poor slaves might hasten to
their standards, and gladly fight for their race.
But we fear Mr. LINCOLN, whose only wish is to
send them all to Central America, is not the man to
gain their confidence. Indeed the North has
neither the head nor the heart to use the negroes
as they ought. Northern opinion seems to be
strongly tending that way. The New England
States, and even New York, have in different ways
spoken out. Still, we fear, it is all too late. The
North will be thoroughly beaten by the South and
slavery, because it threw away its grand chance of
breaking up their fatal cessation.

Can this be true about KOSSUTII, the Great
Patriot-Statesman of the Hungarians ? The tidings
now coming to us about him form, in truth, a very
melancholy companion-picture to that only too well
known as representing the actual position just now
of the fortunes of GARIBALDI. It is asserted, ap-
parently upon too good authority, that Kos-
SUTH is at the present time living (only just
barely living) at Turin—in very reduced cir-
cumstances. His two sons are certainly under-
stood to have obtained some employment in a
public office in that capital—but the pay received
by them in return seems to be the merest pittance.
Worse, far worse, however, than the pecuniary
straits to which the family is just now subjected,
is the serions nature of the illness afflicting the be-
loved central form in that home group of the wire ur
the Great Man—the mother of his two sons. It will
be remembered that but a brief while since the
family of KossUTH suffered a very poignant grief
in the premature death of his only daughter ! The
mother of that fair young girl, now in her early
grave, appears to have been stricken down now in
her turn by mortal illness. Well do we remem-
ber the arrival of this interesting family, thirteen
years ago, in this metropolis; when in Mr. Mis-
SINGBIRD'S house, near Eaton-square, we were in-
troduced to KOSSUTH by that common friend of all
advocates of Liberalism, the late Lord DUDLEY
COUTTS STUART. The two sons, now toiling over
their office work at Turin,and with them then the fair
young daughter (now passed away from this world),
were graceful little children. KOSSUTH then him-
self, it is true, with his noble heart oppressed with
grief by the recent dashing down into the dust of
his Golden Hopes—but with his darling home-
affections uncrushed ! Cannot something be done
for this true Patriot? Cannot England accord to him
and his some practical assurance of her sympathy ?

•
THOMAS CAMPBELL, the Poet, once waggishly
drank, in London, the health of BONAPARTE—
because the then Emperor of FRANCE, King of
ITALY, Mediator of Switzerland, and Protector of
the Confederation of the Rhine, had recently put
to death a German publisher !
VICTOR HUGO, the Poet, has, very lately, on
the other hand, drank, at Brussels, to the health
of all Publishers—toasting " The Press " in words
that might almost be called its apotheosis !
And, certainly, the Great French Author—
Lyrist, Dramatist, and Novelist—has had reasons
enow given to him, very lately, for pledging, in
heartfelt earnest, to that institution which has
been to him, even in exile, so conspicuous a plat-
form from which he has been enabled to address
himself, not only to his far-off countrymen, but,
further still, to the great mass of his contem-
poraries and to posterity. To change the metaphor
—Has he not found it a trumpet to which
he has had but to place his lips and
breath, to wind blasts that have rung
round the world ? Sounds that he may rest assured
will very long be echoed. Nay, more even than this
.—Banished from his country by political events (to
employ yet another figure of speech) ho has found
it for him to be the very purse of FORTUNATUS,
into which he has had but to dip his hand to draw
forth wealth rather than simple competence. In re-
turn for his last great fiction, the ten volumes of his
romance of the nineteenth century, Les Miserables,
he is known to have drawn from the Publishing
House at Brussels the princely sum of sixteen
thousand pounds. No wonder the ironical face-
tiousness of the Author of the "Pleasures of Hope,"
when drinking, half a century back, to the health
of BONAPARTE as the tyrant who hung a Book-
seller, should now, after the lapse of fifty years, have
a pendant so startling in its contrast as the toast
given so eloquently the other day at Brussels by
the Author, as we may call him, pecuniarily, and so
far literally, of the " Pleasures of Hope Realized 1"
M. VICTOR HUGO has good and substantial reasons
for speaking in honeyed words of what has been to
himself no broken reed to lean upon. Leaning upon
it, his hand is not pierced, but oiled. Is not the
poetic slang for money, oil-of-palm ? And has not
VICTOR HUGO'S hand been just filled with some-
thing more lasting than Fairy gold—that illusory
red gold that melts like snow in the grasp, or shri-
yells up into so many dead leaves ?

Whatever the occasion afforded, to the illustrious
French writer, for the indulgence of his grateful
emotions of love and homage for that Press of
which as a medium whereby to influence the
intellect of his generation he has so often resplen-
dently availed himself—the speech through which
these feelings of his heart were articulated must be
regarded as in many respects most remarkable, as
in some as most memorable, Speaking of Pope
GREGORY XVl.'s definition of the Press, in a cele-
brated encyclical--« gula ignea, caligo, impetus
immanis cum .I.trepitu horrendo (a fiery throat,
darkness, a fierce rush with a horrid noise)," VICTOR
HUGO exclaimed the other day, in this speech of his
at Brussels—" I dispute nothing of the descrip-

MURDER OF A WIFE BY ITEB. HIISBAND.-011
Tuesday afternoon the locality of Almda-street, Hamilton,
was thrown into a great state of excitement by a report,
which soon circulated far and wide, that an architect named
Robert Turner, residing in a bye-lane off Abarada-street,
had committed so brutal and desperate an assault upon his
wife, Jean Hamilton or Turner, that her life was despaired
of. The circumstances, so far as we could gather, were as
follows :—Turner had come home in the afternoon to his
house, and found his wife quite drunk on the floor, where-
upon he stripped ber of her clothes, which he made away
with by burning, and it is supposed that while she was thus
in a state of nudity he maltreated her, her face being much
cut. He then went into a public-house adjoining, and told
the landlady that he had given his wife a good " skelping."
He was tipsy at this time, and desired the landlady to go
in and see if anything serious had occurred. Accordingly
she went in and asked if the deceased would take a glass
of whisky and warm water, but she received no answer.
Dr. Naismith was immediately in attendance, and after in-
specting the deceased, he ordered the husband to be taken
into custody. Turner had taken a remorse of conscience
after he had committed the assault, as partly to revive her
from the state he had placed her in, he threw about a dozen
bucketfuls of water about her person. The covering on the
bed whereon she lay was slightly marked with blood, and a
shift, about the breast, and a nightcap were also besmeared
with blood. Drs. Naismith, Lennox, and Wharrie were in
attendance all night upon deceased, who lingered till mid-
day on Wednesday, when she expired. Turner was brought
up before Bailie Thorburn in the police-court, at Hamilton,
on Wednesday, when he was remitted to the sheriff and
committed to prison.—Glasgow Morning Journal.

Intelligence has been received at Antwerp that
the Belgian screw steamer, Marie do Brabant, belonging
o the Levant Navigation Company, had sprang a leak,
and foundered near Alexandria. The crew were all
saved.

Desertion is very common amongst the English
troops at Trinidad. It appears that the soldiers desert to
the Spanish main, where they get good pay to act as drill
sergeants.

A new journal is about to be published at Nice,
under the title of the "France Meridionale." MM. Alex.

NAPOLEON BATHING AT BIARRITZ.—The pic-
torial illustration in Fun representing the Emperor Napo-
leon as bathing at Biarritz, and about to be engulphed in
the waves of popular indignation, so deeply incurred the
Imperial displeasure as to cause the confiscatiou of the
journal which contained it.

DESPERATE AFFRAY BETWEEN POLICE AND
MINERS.—The neighbourhood of Kilsyth was on Tuesde.y
morning the scene of a desperate affray on the occasion of
the apprehension of three men, all named Haggarty (father
and sons), to answer a ch,,rge of breach or peace picforied
against them. The prisoners made violent demonstrations
with two picks and a formidable iron crowbar, and threatened
to knock the brains out of the first man who (hued to cuter
the house. They had maintained this menacing attitude for
half an hour, when Sergeant Swan, with great fortitude,
sprang in among them, and with one blow sent the father
spinning into the fireplace, and one of the sons into another
corner of the house, while ho himself was hurled headlong
into a bed. The Haggartys soon regained their position,
and, armed again with picks and pokers, made another as-
sault upon the officers, The father, who is an extremely
powerful man, aimed a blow with a pick at the head of Ser-
geant Swan, but Constable M'Gurke warded it off, and in so
doing the handle descended with terrific force upon his
(M'Gurke's) left arm, and broke it a little above the wrist—
the point of the pick entering a wooden post to the depth of
nearly two inches. Old Haggarty was at length, and after
much resistance, secured by handcuffs. The other offioers
were in the meantime doing battle with the sons, who, mad-
dened with rage, seized hold of every conceivable article
which could in any way be used in defence, Pokers, picks,
crowbars, and dishes flew in every direction, but the sons
were ultimately secured, and the whole were taken to Stir-
ling, where they await examination. Both the officere and
prisoners bear evidences of a severe and bloody contest.—

DESTRUCTION OF A PAPER MILL BY FIRE.—
About half-past ten on Wednesday night the Blachford
Paper-mill, about a mile from Barnstaple, belonging to
Messrs. W. and J. List and Sons, was discovered to be on
fire. After the lapse of about three-quarters of an hour an
engine arrived, and the most energetic endeavours were
made to extinguish the flames. About seven tons of raw
material, consisting of rags, rosin, alum, &c., were enveloped
in flames, together with all the woodwork of the interior of
the mill. The mill could not be saved ; all that now remains
of it are dilapidated walls and the water-wheel. The ma-
chinery, which on Tuesday was in perfect order, and in
parts highly polished, now looks like a lot of rusty iron.
The damage done has been roughly estimated at between
£l,OOO to £1,200. Adjoining the mill there was a paper.
house, containing about 1,400 reams of paper. This was
fortunately saved. The mill, stock, and machinery were
insured in the West of England Insurance Company and
the Norwich Insurance Company, It is not yet known how
the fire originated.— Western Mammy ileum.

AERONAUTICS.—M. Godard, the aeronaut, has
just made a successful ascension from the Pre-Catalan.
The balloon, measuring 4,000 cubic metres, was inflated in
26 minutesby a new method, that is, by means of heat pro-
duced by compressed cakes of rye straw burnt beneath the
balloon. By a combination regulating the draught of the
fire, the balloon can be maintained at any height, thus
rendering the we of ballast unnecessary, The balloon de-
scended at Sartrouville, opposite Maisons, 20 minutes from
the time of its ascension,

STRANGE DISCOVERY OF A MISSING WATCH.—
The Carnarvon Herald states that Mr. Benjamin Jones,
farmer of Nannerch, about two years ago,whilst from home
on election matters, lost his watch. Impressed with the
idea that he had been robbed of it, he gave information,
which, with a description, number, &c., daily appeared in
the Police Gazette. A short time ago, passing through one
of his fields, he espied a watch chain dangling from the
cleft in the foot of one of his cows, and upon examination
found his long lost watch imbedded in the fall of a cow's
foot. The farmer himself vouches for the truth of the story.
Extract from the " Official Catalogue of the In..
ternational London Exhibition of 1862"—" Boyer, sole
manufacturer of the eau de melisse des Carnes, No. 14, rue
Taranne, Paris :"—The centennial repute of the eau de
nudism des Carnes has given rise to a host of imitations of
this beneficial cordial. The monks who prepared it never
revealed the secret of its composition, and M. Boyer, their
successor, by authentic documents, now alone possesses the
original recipe. All the compounds which are sold under
this denomination may have the Indian plant for a basis,
but this balm is only one of the elements of which the
genuine Carmelite water of Melissa is composed : most of
the other ingredients, and these the most essential, depend
on his making up, this being the exclusive secret of M.
Boyer, who never confides his composition to any other
hands than his own. If we are to believe a very popular
legend, and one that passes as probable, from the most
serious researches of medical and pharmaceutical science,
the Carmelite water must have had its origin in the early
history of the Gauls; and the Carmelites, who freely gave
themselves out both as the disciples of the prophet Elijah
and the descendants of the ancient Druids, might have in
a direct manner inherited from the latter the secret of
its composition. What is most positive is, that for more
than two centuries the use of this cordial balm is not
only popular in the highest degree, but that all the trea-
tises on medical science and all professional men have ao-
knowledged and proclaimed its tonic, anti-spasmodic, and
anti-apoplectic qualities. Royal letters patent had, until
1789, maintained its property and exclusive management,
as belonging to the Barefooted Carmelites of the rue de
Vaugirard, grounding, on every occasion, the decision ar-
rived at by the Bing in council on the report of the Royal
Commission of Medicine, which the Carmelite waterofMe-
lissa was by its properties rendered incomparably superior
to those composed according to the pharmacopoeia,
and that
its utility was fully proved. When the Revolution took
possession of the convent in the Rue de Vaugirard, the
monks who survived their order purchased of the State the
exclusive privilege of working out this most precious cordial-
balm, constituted themselves as a secular and commercial
company, and so established themselves at No. 14, Rue TURIN, SEPT. 19.
