MILITARY AND SCIENTIFIC CHARACTER OF Rus
SIAN OFrIcERs.-The London Times, in one of
its leading editorials expresses itself in the FOL-
lowing terms Of the superior efficiency of the
officers of the Russian army:
Nothing has come ont more clearly in the
course Of this war than the high military and
scientific character of the Russian officers
Through trial enexamped severity they have
shown themselves IN every way worthy of the
confidence of their master, and of the reputa-
ton Of great military monarchy. Ardent in
attack undaunted in retreat full of skill, energy
and resource under all circumstances, masters
Of the three languages of the three belligerent
powers it make one shudder to reflect what
such band ofofficers might accomplish if sup
ported by troops worthy of such leaders. The
Russian army, like our own, is differed by
gentlemen, but by gentlemen who have not
merely the rank and the courage of their class
but its education aud its requirements While
poor Gen. Simpson cannot even attempt sin
gle word of French, vast number of the Off
GERS of the Russian army speak our language
as we'll as ourselves. Their scientific defence
was silent satire on our rude attack, and the
superiority in skill ofthe champions Of ofbarbar
ism over those of civilization is written in our
best blood.
