dust. that had been very troublesome to
the army. At present the weather Is We
nv fine. 1t will continue, as people
think. till the tenth Of October, which
allows us still forty days for field opera
tons"
1t actually continued till the 9th or 7'h
Of November, almost month longer
than they expected. From all which IT I
undoubtedly appears, that this winter OF
1912 was very premature"
The French began their retreat from
Moskow, on the 18th Of Octobsr; from
which time till the 9Th of November the
weather was superb, rather warmer than
at Paris at the same season, the roads
very fne-charming weatherior launt
70 Fontainbleau. During this charming
season their army was SO completely
broken down, that on the 18th, notwlth'
standing the serenity of the weather, they
were forced to leave Smolensko, and
continue their retreat.
Extract from the goth Bulletin.
"The Emperor learned at Smolensko,
on the 9th, this change of operations, &
foresaw what the enemy would do
However hard he thought it to move IN
such cruel season, the state OF things
rendered it necessary. He hoped to
reach Mask, or at least the Beresslna,
before the enemy. He left Smolensko
on the 18Th"
Although his headquarters were there
as early as the 9Th, at night, we may pre-
sumo his army did not reach 1t till the
llth; consequently it staid but two days
to rest, after a march of 200 miles, and
continual battles.
All which sbews clearly, that the
French were destroyed by the cold and
snow of this premature" Russian WIN
ter, and not by the Russian arms.

with adherence had he lived to wltaess
them, have been Systematically pursu.
ed, and have produced the national evils
which he had predicted. And yet the
authors of those measures, and their
minions, have the impotence to appeal
to him.
Some honest men have had the cha
ri.y to think that the principal authors
and projectors of the present war were
not aware of its perilous and distressing
consequences. This is mistake ihey
acted with their eyes open. They lore
saw that the war would Jeopardlze our
liberties and even the independence OF
the country, and bring extreme distress
and even ruin upon great part OF It,
All this is fairly proveaHle from their
speeches, which are in print. The ioi
lowing we give as samples:
Mr.. Grupdy, in his speech in Con-
cress (December islD on the report OF
the committee of foreign relations, says
-" We are about to ascertain, by'ac'
tual experiment, how far our republican
institutions are calculated 10 sustain the
shock of war, and whether after foreign
danger has disappeared, we can again
assume our peaceful attitude, without
endangering the liberties OF the peo'
pie"
Mr.. Speaker Clay also, in his speeot
in congress, on the same OCCASION eA-
pressed himself in the following terms;
" He was aware that for years alter the
enemy should be driven from the pro-
vinces," (meaning the British provinces
in America) hostili,ies might be pro-
secuted on the ocean" And further,
" Philadelphia might be invaded ; N
York or Boston might fell every ssa-
port might be taken; bat the country
would remain free. The whole OF our
territory on this side" (meaning the
eastern side" of the Allegany might be
invaded, still liberty would not De sledu

or more of the state soyereignties, might
