" THE BROOKS AND SUMNER DIFFICULTY.-1n an ar
ticle the Brooks and Sumner difficulty the Boston
Courier of the 23d ins makes Che following sensible
remarks:
But we have word to say about the manner in
which this Kansas debate has been carried on in the
Senate. Members have shifted the time of the pro-
nouncement of their speeches it has suited their
convenience. The speech of Mr. Sumner was exceed
ingy insulting towards some gentlemen who sit with
him the Senate floor. It was not in coHsonance
with the sort of arguments which people expect to
hear from u s. Senators upon grave question:
They do not want fowery adecves or fartetched al
usiOns to- or illustrations from, Greece and Rome to
give them an opinion as to how they shall act with
regard to a practical question which is now before
them. When Mr.. Sumner compares Senator Butler,
of South Carolina and Senator Douglas of Illinois,
to Don QuiXotte and Sancho ANA, assimilatng
one to the character Of crazy man and the
other to that of fool, he takes ground which Mas
sented before In the great debate between Webster
and Uayne in which Massachusetts, came out best,
beyond all comparison, such illusions were made
The Senator OF Massachusetts, Of that day descended
| to no low blackguardsm. In the strength of his
faith and in the force of his ability he presented Mas
sachusetts before the Senate of the United States il
such a manner that men bowed down and worshippet
her. There" said he, sis Boston and Concord anC
Lexington and Bunker Hill.'' al employ no scaven
gers said he again, in to the taunts of the
| Senator from South Carolina, who had produced
against him the rakings and scrapngs of all which
political venom could bring out from the cesspool oil
party politics. Mr.. Webster came out of that con
troversy with South Carolina with the admiration OF
every man in the country. The time has changed
different man takes his place, with only the memory
of an insulting speech and broken head.

The Hero of Kars.

Some Of the little incidents which occurred during
the Crmean war are singuarly typical Of the French
and English military systems. It's related by the
English historian Of the battles OF Alma Tnkerman
and Baaklava, that in the midst of one of these
bloody engagements, a French General seeing an
irish soldier of the SSth Regiment holding his ground
ga1lanty against some half dozen Russian assaants
bore him on his charger to the rear. and kneeling,
Kissed his hand in deep devotion to his vaoF It is
told by the same historian that ct another time
another soldier the same country, having when
made prisoner, shaken off q few brace sof Russian
guardians, be was presented, By an English General
who witnessed the feat with five noud note as pre-
MUM. Human hearts need sun as well as coats It
is probable that while the first of these will renem.
ber to his last hour the beautiful token of devotion to
his valor. the other wasted in an evenings de-
bauchery the material tribute to his brute fight
The fattt of the English system is that it makes
no appeal to that sympathy which dwells in every
human heart. In England the recruiting sergeant
first makes his victim drunk and then presents him
with momentary bounty. In France they appeal to
higher feeling. There is scarcely bookshnp in a
country villagein which may not be seen series Of
pictures, first Of the young soldier in the gttering
guse Of battle starting for his regiment; his mother
as be passes into the distance standing some height
and watching him as he departs with proud Joy
breaking through her tearsnext, he is seen on the
battlefield, saur' de charlie bending oysrin as he
lies and soothing the wound he has purchased in the
cause of the glory Of France-agan, and YOU see
him returning to the home from which he started
like Claude Meln0tte officer high in rank with the
ribbon Of honor his breast and as native village
pouring out to meet him and crying. Ia gioire.''
It is such pictures, appealing to higher inspirations
than pounds and pence, which fill the armies Of
France and gave TO Napoleon the soldiers that car
ried his eagles half over the earth. But Id England
patriotism is priced by pence, and men will grow
every day more and more calculating. t5,s5f
II the hero Of Kars, General Williams had been a
French soldier, he would have the ribbon of the
legion OF honor on his breast, and parade on the
Bnulevards where half France would come ont. as
the Romans did Of old to him who did not desL air Of
his country, to give him welcome. General Williams
is, however, an English officer. So he gets a baron
etcy and thousand year, and is made comfortable,
not glorious. .9s5tt Sgaz$8
But the most remarkable part of the matter is that
this brave officer who exhibited more military genius
than any British officer in the East can never be
promoted to higher rank, owing to his being an
artillery officer, commanding generals always being
taken from the infantry. e
