II was once "A we.l.founded boast Of our coun'
srymen that no military force was necessary to
preserve law and order In the United States, a
contrast with the state OF things In the old world
which filled every American with natural pride
Whilst every part of Europe bristled with bayonets
the only "divinity that hedgeth about kings" we
pointed with exultation to the divinity Of cor
topuli, guarding the sacred bsllotbox. and making
it as peaceful as it is powerful
Recent events 10 some Of our principal cities
have gone far TO moderate this exnltant spr and
TO make rejecting men look with soicitude to the
future. IL ia found that the ballot.box has not
saved Us from the necessity of the bayonet. and
though IL is the people themselves who stand guard
at the polls the time may not be distant when this
duty must of necessity be delegated to mercena
ry force and that will be "the beginning of the
end II becomes the statesmen OF this country
without distinction of party, to reflect upon the
best means of preserving the Republic from sc
disastrous a failure of the experiment of seifgov
eminent, and to inquire, in all seriousness and
caudor whether the conservative restraints and

they might not be again adopted without detri

The Right Kind of Valuation

1t is stated that the Collector at New York has
received from the Secretary of State within the
past week two magnificent telescopes, presented by
the British Government, through Lord Napier, to
Captain Taylor, of the American ship Hemisphere,
for rescuing part Of the of the British bsrque
Londonderry, at sea, and to Capt. Frederick Small
of the American schooner Railway, of New York
for assistance rendered to the British brigantipe
Halifax, 10 March, 1851.
It is stated that the medal ordered by the suIv
of the yellow fever on the United States steam
frigate Susquehanna, to be presented TO DIR. Rose
of the British Navy, testimonial of their graft
tude for his courageous aud human services in
attending the sick board the Su.quehanna, is OF
solid gold and weighs five ounces. 1t is about two
inches In diameter. and the border is curiousIy
formed into the semblance of rope. On one side
is a beautiful representation of the Susquehanna

tion:-"Presented to Assistant Surgeon Frederic.

turned to the United States in said ship in good

fever, April. 1855"
The boarding aud visitation by the two nations
ofeach others ships for such purposes the above
is the only kind which We hope will be hereafter
practiced, aud, being prompted by real humanity
will go far to cement that friendship which ought
TO subsist between them, and do away the ill-feel

Rev. DR. Tynu

This Jealous but eccentric personsge has gained
no laurels from his recent encounter with DIR
Cummings of Washington. lie would have
guarded with more discretion the memory of his
BON if be had manifested less eagerness to disprove
the superstition of Dr. Cummings that the pious
but misguided young man had repeated the error
into which he fell in introducing politics into the
pulpit
The Rev DR.. Tying Is, however, pre-eminentIy
member OF the church militant, and is never at
ease except III troubled waters On all subjects he
disdaius the dictates of conservatism and seems to
consider II glory TO be ultra and odd. In a late
temperance address, be declared that, despite
what the newspapers said, he considered New York
we'll governed city, and the police an active,
faithfui ana efficient body of men. lie read of
ro~dies being shot but he believed those who were
shot deserved to be shot. Killing them, he said,
was Ike opening bois and getting rid of the bad
substance Even if none but rowdies were killed,
the Rev. DR.. would find it hard to reconcile such
doctrines with religion law. This mode Of
opening the boiis" of society was not one which
the Great PLY ician practiced, nor which the laws
approve

perceive that all parties agree That it !. tho Navy
upon which the country must chiefly rely in the
event nj war with the great nations OF Europe.
and there Is no other from which We need npprr'
bend ally danger. There seems ALEC to be hnrpy
nnanimity In regard to the kind of increase which
is called for, via steam gun boats, cheap, small,
and carrying heavy Dahlgreen guns Mr.. Bocock,
IN late speech in the House, stated that while il
c)sts $3.50 900 year to keep forty-gun steam fri
gate in commission, it would cost only $4,000 or
$50 900 year TO keep In commission one Of thess
small steamers carrying ten or twelve guus. One
of them Gao be- built for $4,000, whilst a first
class steam frigate costs about 100000.
The gun boats are not very SNOWY affairs, but
serviceable and effective, and will assist to make
the kind OF naval force which suits the wants of a
Republican psople,-a Navy for use and not for

Mortality i'm the British Army.

A recent debate in the British Parliament has
elected the extraord nary fact that the mortality
in that part of the British Army which is station
ed 10 England is greater than that of an equal
number of troops engaged in an active campaign
in any part of the world! Garrison life and CARR
son duty in England productive of higher rate
of mortality than prevails among any other por-
ton OF the British population. Eleven men in a
Thousand die every year in the Cavalry. eighteen
in q thousand in the Line, aud twenty in thou
sand of the Guards. The mortality of the general
population of England and Wales, among persons
of the age the soldiers, is said to be nine
u u Thousand, and in tie healthy districts less
than eight in a thousand. If to the deaths
which appear in the Army returns are added tn ose
who have left invaded for their homes the average
mortality for the whole Army amounts to seventy
six in the thousand. This is greater proportion
of mortality than prevails among equal mum
Der of miners or firemen. 1t must also be borne
in mind that the physical strength of the soldiers
when enlisted is something above the general
standard, and every recruit undergoes a strict
medical examination at the time of his enlistment
aud is rejected if he has any sign of i'll health.
The cause of this extraordinary mortality is said
TO be the defective sanitary arrangements made
for the troops in barracks. The accommodations
not equal to those of modern prisons and work
houses. They live, eat and sleep in the same room
and at night their apartments filled with
poisonous efiuvia that the Sergeants will not en-
ter in the morning until the windows have been
opened for some time. Measures have been pro-
posed in the House of Commons to change this de.
structive and disgrsceful state of things.

Richmond Christian Advocate.

Rev. Leroy NJ. Lee, D. D., having declined re
nomination to the editorehip of the Advocate
will be succeeded by Rev. Leopidas Rosser. D. D.
one of the ablest and most eloquent divines of a
church which has proved herself the nursing
mother Of great orators.
In a late issue, DR.. Lee states that the change in
the editorship will not take place Immediately, q
few mouths being necessary to complete his ar
rangements for leaving the city. DR. Lee is one o.
the most powerful and pungent writer's connected
with the press, and possesses withal vein Of
satire and humor which pleasantly relieves the
dry features of poiemiea discussion. He has our
best wishes 10 his retirement. if retirement il can
be called which transfers him from the watch
tower of the sentinel to the heat and melee of the
battle field.
