u II is a remarkable fact that during
the present war IN Europe, which has
already lasted ls months. 70, . single
naval engagement worthy Of tho name,
has taken place between a Russian chip
or ships of wal and those Of the Allies.
And We. tho Russian Navy is or rather
was very large-far exceeding that of
the United States. This extraordinary
passisity Of the Russian ships, although
said to be well commanded and manned,
marks the difference between them and
tarnal Yankees. Had The United States
been in The place Of Russia, there would
have been many q bloody conflict on the
ocean ere this. for. in spite Of blockades
&C., more or less OF our ships would
have 60. out during fogs or darkness, and
given a good sccount of themselves be
fore they returned. tits in these daring
(ea,s thai the Yankees excel, more than
in any thing else. and more, we may add
than any other peopls. Our merchant
men, too. would have ruE the gaun,let as
best they might, instead of ro,ting Al
wharves as the Russian merchantmen
do. But in the mere matter of passive
courage-iacing death and meeting it,
no troops surpass the Russians. or are
likely TO do so. Like machines, they
stand where they are placed until re
