The Temper of the People.

The steady sel.control of the North, at
the present tino, is grand. 1t is hard to con-
ceive that we are the same people we were
five weeks ago, when peey!sAncss, and impa-
tience, and impotuosity SO wildly ruled the
hour. We are even more III earnest than
then; we repel every suggestion Of peace
with greater resouteness than ever; yet there
is no longer any Of the Old excitement. Our
disaster has brought composure. But it is
not the compos0re OF resignation, Or OF dcs~
pondcncy. Humiliation Of spirit indeed there
has been. We feel that we suffered not SIM
ply misfortune but dishonor. Though a re-
treat might have been excusab!e, the flight,
we know, was shameful. Yet never has there
been the slightest idea Of submitting to the
stigma. We have been determined from the
very day it occurred to efiace it; and this
We have been ever since preparing TO Go with
d cooInoss and an equanimity that will chal
lenge the admiration Of history. The north
crn people are as proud and sensitive as any
people on the face Of the globe :; they can no
moro easily bear diShonor but here, in the
face Of the oxultaut vaults Of their enemies
and The SCOTS and jbes that are pouring in
upon then from their ill-wisheys the other
side Of tbe water, they calmly bide their
time unwayoringly fixed IN their purpose,
and yot giving theIr leaders their own good
day 10 execute it. They have raised men by
the hundred thousands; thoy have raised
money by .n0 hundred millions thcy have
clothed th~.r Executive with powers such as
free people have seldom before conceded !;
in every way they have shown their sense OF
the magnitude oi the crisis and yet they
have done il without passion or a2Itatlon.'--
Gen. Mcclellan has now an army upon tac
banks Of tho Potomac, lar larger, lar better
Disciplined. and far better equipped thaa that
with which General Mcdowell undertook his
movement upon Richmond, in obedience to
the popular cutlery. 1t is probably true that
the army in its present condition, and under
hs present lead, is at least twice as tormlda-
Bile as before. Yet from no quarter what
ever. not even from the most insignificant. do
VIC hear any expression Of impatience that
this army does not move on 10 repair the Old
defeat. There is neither expectation nor de-
sire that it will do SO. The people simply
wish that sound military science alone shall
direct when and how to proceed. They are
confident Of trum ph in the end, but are for
hszarding nohipg. They have learned that
mere impulse, however honest, has no oual-
ness with concerns SO vast.
We trust that the groa Ness Of spirit which
the North is nov manllesting Will be main
tanned. 1t has not Jet had iE3 full trlaI.--

Forty-two years ago, there was born to

son. The father died, and soon after, the
mother; and their history and memory per
ishud from before men. The infant child was
left to the care Of whonlsoeyor mi ght take L

years, one friend took it up, and then another;
and how he could scarcely tell himself, he
obtu;aal s. collegiate education. and found
his way into the ministry. When, one day,
q thousand miles away from the play grounds
of his childhood, after preaching to u large
attentive audience, an old lady met him at
the foot of the pulpit stairs, and said /

Marching to Death.

The National Quarterly thus depicts i. go.
Inarhable scene that occurred some years
since On one Of the British transport shi ps.-
The commander Of the troors on board, seeing
that the vessel must soon sink, and that there
was no hope Of saving his men, drew them up
in the order Of battle, and as in the presence
Of q human enemy, bravcly faced the doom
that was before them. We know Of no more
impressive illustration Of the power of militia
ry discipline in the presence of death -
Look at that noble vessel in yon high sea !
She has sprung leak, all the resources On
board have been called into play for her re-
lease from the deep, but to no avail. The
waters are gaining fast on her--beyond hu-
man control. She must sink ! A regiment
Of brave, perfectly disciplined soldiers are
mustered on deck by quick roll of the drum !;
officers and soldiers promptly fill their rank
and file, and shoulder arms See them stand
in serriod ranks, and completely accoutred
for a long, long march. Not a mournlul
dirge, but the national anthem is played by
the baud. The regim3ntaI co!ors futter III
the air; the staff that supports them is as
firm as the stout heart OF the ensign that
holds it. l'ho array Of battle Is reflected in
mournlul appearance On the lowering clouds,
which seem anxious to veil the waters, rippled
by the breach Of death. Ipsidiously does the
water leap at last over the buiwarks Of the
gallant and doomed ship, aud down, down she
goes. The martial voice Of the commandment

crying from wrath and shame. clenching
their fists and screaming fearful vengence.

A private dispatch says Capt. Double
