Eznsgagld and France.

1t is impossible to read the official,
volunteer and newspaper reports OF the
assault and capture of Southern Sebas-
topol, French and English, without the
! fullest conviction that the hOnors are ex-
clusively French, and the blunders exclu-
sivey English Never was there more
characteristic display of John Bullism,
not only in the laundering bull dog way
of doing the thing, but also in the brag-
gerry which has followed this "glorious
achievement" And never was there any
thing more French than the deXterity OF
the Malakoff exploit in plan and eXecn-
ton, and the polite manner in which the
official report Of Pelissicr screens and
seems to excuse the blunders of his ally,
| How much England has to unlearn,
and how much to learn, is fully apparent
! from the reports of this affair. Subject
to the old routine and conventional order
of the service, she plays soldering in time
Of peace, and when the blaze Of war strs
up her blood she has little to oppose to
an enemy but courage, obstinacy and per
severance. The science of war seems TO
he left to adapt itself to the OCCASION and
when the occasion demands experience
England meets il first with useless expcr-
iments, and then falls back upon the mus
ket, the rife, the bayonet and big guns,
and a dashing charge or desperate assault,
at any cost, with victory or failure, the
! lucky or unlucky chance.
~,
tenn of warfare, and the American, is dis
tinctly marked in the current history of
siege of Sebastopol, and the record of our
Mexican war Under the same loose dis
eipline and systematic management of af-
fairs which have characterized everything
British in the Crimea our Mexican war
might have been protracted with variable
success to this day, or brought to a close
only, at an expenditure Of men aud mate
rial of war, not inferior to that before
Sebastopol But with such men as Tay-
lor and Scott, with si1illful engineers, Off
GERS from the ranks of the people, and
the material Of the army filed with the
zeal of an honorable nationality, no num-
Der of men, no form of defense or fort-
fication, no ''impregnable forts" could
withstand them.
We do not intend any vain boast in
disparagement Of the achievements of the
Allies before Sebastopol. We do not
pretend that Mexican Notifications, or the
defense of them, are to be compared with
the Russian. But we mean to say that
the economy and discipline, and steadfast-
ness of purpose, and. zeal Of execution
which characterize an American army,
would, with the same resources have fol-
lowed up successes and pressed an en-
trance into Sebastopol at an earlier day,
and at an expenditure of life and means
infinitely less than that of the Allies

knitted states sanasar.

There is United States Senator to
elect this winter, in place of B. f. Wade,
whose term of service will expire at the
expiration of the next Congress. The
knowing ones predict the defeat of Wade,
and the election of Chase, because, as
they say, he is great on trades, and his
election as governor has given him start,
which will be hard to beat. He will have
several Aboitionists who will vote for no
one else, and besides this, he will have
Tom Ford's support; for in the event of
his election, Ford, as Lieutenant Gov
ernor will be Governor of the State, and
some Senator to be designated by the body,
will succeed to the empty honors of 1t.
Governorship, as President of the Senate.
If such capital to trade upon, does not
enable Mr.. Chase to be United States
Senator he will not have his usual luck

Santa Anna.

The Aspinwal' Courier furnishes the
following information relative to the where
abouts of Santa Anna:
Santa Anna and family are safely In
stalled in aud near Carthagena. Onl
readers are aware that he has q beautiful
residence, but few miles distant from
Carthagena. His hacienda was under
good cultivation two years ago, when he
left at the cell Of his partizans in Mexico.
He now returns to private life for the
third time, aid We presume the little pu-
ejIo of Tobago must have strong attrac-
tons TO induce him to locate his retire
ment there a second time, after his excl
ting and varied career. During his for
merresidence at Tobago, his style Of living
and his hospitality were liberal even to
profuseness, and his cordial welcome as
tonished many sojourner of various ma
tionalites, and Of different religious and
political creeds. He was the general ben.
ef;actor Of large neighborhood, and gave
considerable attention in the vicinity.
