General Smith is dead pnd have just finished bis
olseques. The Impressive. and being rather
novel, I'll try the description. On the opposite side of
the square from the Generals quarters that good old
house in which your cchnnations SO welcome last
summer, the troops were drawn up in line Of battle
They consisted of the 4h regiment Of artillery CON-
manded by Col .Jock Munroe, Barnys battery Of ar
tery and Major Giahams squadron Of dragons
Harvey commanding the whole reliant and i'm
posing body of men is not to be found either in out Of
the army The battery particular attracted attention
the superb condition Of the horses the beautifully bright
guns, draped in black and the saret-saddle Clothes
gave pleasing variety often seen in such an stab
shment
The troops facing the centre of the square, the
body laid in state in the open r and by
hundreds people from all parts of the country come
witness the ceremony.
When the pastor commenced the service and every
head in that vast crowd uncovered 1t seemed that
Kansas intended to bury in the grave Of gallant and
beloved commander all her anmosities her grievances and
wrongs The ultra black republicans stood side by side
with the hotheacd fire eater Of the South with downast
look ti-Iccompton would BE- to rest In the
crowd upon q Iecompton man and interspersed with
these were officers. soldiers, Transfers grey-backs,
border rulfians, and perhaps few Mormons

The troops then wheeled to the left and marched
in column with reversed, to the most solemn mu-

rounds fired them, after which they placed on

Senator Gwin who is alive TO the rights of our
country and the vast interests of Pacific domain has
introduced resolution into the Senate touching
latons with New Granada 1t il similar In character
with that which, at the instance Of Senator Mason. WA
passed with reference to Paraguay It looks TO prompt
redress Of tire wrongs inflicted American citizens in
the lsthmus region authorizes the President TO take
such measures and such force as his opinion may
be advisable to protect interests in Mexico New
Granada and the Central American States
OF these States New Granada acts strangely. No IN
demnity has she yet made for the horrible massacre
1856 which stirred the country and no security has
she yet given for the future. The Cass Herran treaty
providing for both these objects, remains unratcd and
1t has been altered in the New Granada senate that
ratified 1t would not be acceptable to country iO
the stipulation in 1t for guarantee of security along tho
great transit route has been stricken out.
The Importance Of this subject cannot be oyerestima

The condition of our coast defences is more UNI
promising than even our naval service The opera
tions of small army against Utah have required
every fertilization on Atlantic seaboard to be
denuded of troops and not one of forts has been
left with sufficient force to it's guns. From
Texas to Maine the total number Of army forces
now guarding extensive line of seaboard posts
and the millions of public property deposited in
them, is less than eight hundred men. Besides these
troops protect the pioneers of vast western do
main along ten thousand miles of frontier posts TO
guard the great lines of travel and emigration which
penetrate immense continent from hundred
tribes of irresponsible savages, and to reduce the
rebellion Of ten thousand Mormons in Utah, we have
a force of less than thirteen thousand men,
The effective force of our navy is no greater now
than it was twenty years ago and the increase of
the army in that time has been only to the extent of
few regiments. Yet, while the defences of the
nation have remained thus stationary its great in
terests have been magnifed incredibly. We append

OUR NATIONAL DEFENCEs

great many considerations conspire to force
upon the attention Of the country the subject of our
national defences One of the first duties of the gov
eminent is that of protection to the people not
only actual protection in the very presence Of dan
ger, but readiness for Immediate protection in the
event of danger. If it be the duty Of govern
ment to protect its people from actual agExssoa it
follows that it is it's duty also to be prepared to pro-
tect them in anticipation of danger Its duty to pro-
tect in fragrant war, imposes also the duty, in time
of peace to be prepared for war;
We are persuaded that the administration are
deeply sensible of this duty of the government and
of tho gross nsucicncy of its preparations for the
contingency Of war. AT the opening of the present
session Of Congress an increase of both arms Of the
service was urged by the Secretaries of War and
Navy and recommended by the President. These
recommendations were made with reference to the
general necessities of the service, and not to any
immediate emergency Instead however, Of the five
regiments Of regular forces asked for by the War
Department, three regiments of militia have been
granted by Congress and, instead of ten small but
effective steam corvettes asked for by tho Navy De-
partment we believe that Congress is still in state
of sedate incubation over half dozen sloops To
repel the recent outrages upon commerce in the
waters of Florida and Cuba the Secretary Of the
Navy, with commendable promptness and energy,
has ordered call the disposable naval force of the
country into the infested quarter, "to protect all
vessels of the United States on the high seas from
search or detention by the vessesofwar of any other
nation and yet after thus exhausting all the power
that belongs to him under the constitution and the
legislation of Congress-, tho following will be the
