American Army Officers.

The London Times. in recent leader
pays the following compliment 10 our Army
oficers:--
"There is no class Of her citizens Of which
America has better reason 10 be proud, than
of the officers of her army. Educated, for
the most part, in the delightful and romantic
solitude Of West Point, shut out from tie
busy world around them by gigantic chain
of mountains on the one side, aid the cir.
cling course of the Hudson on the other, and
subjected to a discipline which teaches them
to command themselves and others, the OIL
GERS of the American army join to full
share of the national intelligence an amount
of modesty and gentleness, which We may be
permitted to say is not quite so universal
among their fellow countrymen as some
other more brilliant qualities.
In the pursuance of profession pecu.
liarly arduous and i'll remunerated, posses.
ed of the knowledge which, according to the
European system, Is subdivided among hall
"A dozen services, thoroughly understanding
the duties of infantry and cavalry Officers,
excellent artillerists and admirable engl.
neers, the officers of the American army are
among the bravest, the most enduring, and
the most accommodating of their profession.
We have in two wars had ample reason 10
respect their skill and daring, and while We
have often but too much reason to complain
of the treatment we have received from
statesmen who have sought to improve their
political position, by pandering to some pop
ular prejudice against this country, we have
had every reason to be satisfied with the
gentlemanlike and consderate conduct o.!
the officers of the American army

the Eastern Shore had freely contributed and
was still contributing largely, and that she

had acted entirely for the benefit of " Western

III that great work. AS to the management
OF the Chesapeake L Ohio Canal, the Board
Of Public " orks mad intrusted it to the peo-
pie Of the western counties, they had made
one Of the citizens OF Aiiegany county Presi-
dent Of the work, aud had appointed another
in the direction. and had taken two other
directors from counties bordering on the
line Of the work As ~ the amount of tolls
to be charged on coal by the canal company
he supposed they should at least charge
enough TO keep the work in repair, and if it
was such Il work rs its friends claimed it to
be, he did not think twenty-five cents add
tional would either dry up the canal or shut
up the coal mines. But be that as it may,
he desired to be governed in his policy in re-
gard 10 that question by the views and opin-
ions OF those interested in the work; and as
he believed the people Of Allegany and the
counties bordering on the canal were the on
~ persons really interested in it, he desired
them to meet together and arrange the mat

concerned. he was disposed to carry it ont"

naturally attracts much attention. Inc

q, tbe Railroad company that the proposed po-

more than probable that mining IN Allesha-
ny county will cease, for with the 1reight as
it now is on the Canal, the companies ara
not able to compete with the flctou coal IN .

ceosa or be seriously curtalled IN Allegheny

this matter should call a convention or all

matter, and TO devise such means as the exl'
