HARv Nd CoILiaE AGAIN.-Old Harvard is
fairly earning the reputation Of being an abb
lition college. The only subject conqcieutiously
taught there appears to be treason. The autho.
rites would not confirm Judge Loring, though
he was apparently the best man for the law
chair, because he would not perjure himself !;
nor would they grast degree to Mr.. Eliot,
because he had voted for the compromise mea-
sures. According 10 the code of morals in
force at Harvard, no Southern man deserves
collegiate honors. Nay more, no Northern
man can attain the highest rank in learning,
letters or science, unless he agree with the
Harvard people in politics. Thus, Daniel Web
ster woali not have been deemed fl for ho-
nors, nor either OF the Adamses, nor John Han
cock, nor sny OF the revolutionary heroes Of
New England The only men, according to the
authorities of Harvard, who deserve to be de-
corated with collegiate degrees, are Theodore
Parker, William Lloyd Garrison, Gerrit Smith,
Fred Douglass, and few others of that school,
To such depth has sunk the oldest collegiate
institution in the United States!

ST.. ARNAuD'S LETTERS We publish else
where one or Two letters written by the late
Marshal ST. Armand to the members of his
army in the East They are very Frenoh, but.
considering the circumstances and the fate of
the man, are affecting and mourntul His trials
were indeed severe Pestience, inaction fire,
bodily i'll health, and mental fever must have
rendered the encsmpment at Varna a place fit
for the damned. How the sensitive Fronchman
writhed under the agony of his multiplied sor-
rows. these letters bear testimony. Have there
been," says he in his despair, "many situations
like mine in history" To add to all, the slow
ness and the want of military skill evinced by
his allies, the English, threatened to paralyze
all his movements. "The English" he writes
keenly, make me lose precious time" He
would have landed at the mouth Of the Katcha
that is to say ten OF twelve miles south Of the
Alma, and would have thus escaped the brush
at that stream; but Raglan was timid, and in
sisted on selecting the Old Fort as the place Of
Decentralization. After the landing, the Eng
lsh lost 80 much time in making ready for the
march that the impetuous Frenchman wrote to
Lord Raglan to say that he "could wait no Ion
ger--he would issue his order of departure for
seven o'clock next morning-and nothing
should stop him longer" The tardy disclosure
of these smothered quarrels between the
allied leaders are, strange to say, cotem-
poraneous with letter from Sir De
Lacy Evans to the Independence Beige, in
which he insinuates plainly that Lord Rag
lan's time was mainly absorbed in futile dis
putes with the French Generals. The public
surmise, it seems, was not far wrong And it
may well be questioned whether the new chiefs,
Generals Simpson aud Pelissier, who are both
hotheaded men, will conceal their antagonism
from the public as long and as skilfully as their
predecessors.
Poor Marshal Saint Arnaud had two repes-
one was glory, the other peace and retirement
with his family. The lastter was always pre-
sent to his thoughts. II only think" he writes
to his wife, "of the moment when we shall be
very quiet at home. In the spring we will
take trip to Italy and we will return by Swift
zerland and Germany. We will travel with
only two servants, aud like plain folks" Glory
came uppermost at times; but he was so con-
scious of his unpopularity that he repressed the
swelling aspiration. Only after Alma he says:
"The change lin public opinion about HIMSELF
has been rapid; it began on the l4th, broke out
into acclamaiions on the evening of the goth,
ard TO. day I am great man." Alas for his
hopes! Seven days afterwards the great man
was corpse!
