LORD RAGLAN

This iiiustrious military ohieftsin contin-
ues to enjoy the ease and dignity of the COM
mand Of the British army ia the Crimea:-
His arduous table duties are diversined py
occasional observations Of the weather tue
state Of which he duly reports to the va, us
partmsnt, together with occasional aliusions
to the Russian army, a large body OF whom
he has recently discovered In the neignpor-
hood of Sch astopol. The clerk ofths weather.
In the vicinity of the Crimea, is obliged to
be more than ordinarily circumspect, for he
must be aware that Lord Raglan keeps
sharp eye on him. His lordship seems to do
little else than watch the clouds and the
winds, and duly report their behavior to the
British Government. A respectable wealth
crock would be Of quite as much value 10
the military service of Great Britain, "a
Field Marshal Raglan.
There il no man in the military or civil
service of Great Britain, as secure OF his po-
sition as the noble commander Of the British
troops. In spite of the disgrace and disaster
which he has brought upon the finest army
Great Britain ever sent to the field, and in
defiance of the earnest and unanimous wishes
Of the British people. the British government
refuses to recall him from his position. But
this Is not all. Lord Raglan, luckier than
mortals in general. has been SO fortunate as
to please both sides. The wags of London
insist that the Russian general. Ostensack.
en-. has given orders to all the Russian army
not to kill Lord Raglan or Gen. Camoberf'
since their death would be misfortune to
Russia, because they were destroying their
own army more efectually than the Russians
could There is no earthly chance, then, OF
removing Lord Raglan, except by his own
free consent, which, in spite of all hints and
entreaties, can never be obta ined for any such
purpose. The Queen will not remove him.
the Russians will not shoot him, and as to his
resignation, he has shown himself ready to
resign every thing in the world,-the lives
and comfort of his troops the prestige of Bri'
fish arms; his own reputation; everything in
short-except his position.
1.-THE Emperor of Russia, after the present
war has closed, does not settle pension
upon Lord Raglan, there is no gratitude ex-
tant. He has killed more Englishmen than
any French or Russian General of modern
times, and by his dog in the manger policy,
will neither devour Sebastopol hims elf, nor
suffer any body else to devour it.

TOMORROW.

Tomorrow ends the long and hot turmoil
of this exciting election. The campaign be-
gun, we believe, about the same time as the
siege of Sebastopol, and there is as much in
terest felt in Virginia in its result. The Dis
patch, which has pursued the most rigid neu-
trality from the beginning of the contest,
does not intend to surrender that character
when it advises the electors on both sides to
vote early, and then 60 to work and bring
up their neighbors to vote, so as to have a
full expression'of the popular will. Above
all, keep cool-and never permit political diff
ferences to affect personal relations. You
might as we'll find fault with your neighbor
for having head of different shape from
your own, as for holding different opinions
