A FRENCH VIEw.-The Journal des De-
bats of the 28th of September has a lengthy
article on the state of affairs in the United
States, of which we subjoin the last para
graph: America seems condemned to
undergo several trials; but, Notwithstanding,
one thing appears to US certain. Not only
will the American nation not perish, what
ever may be the result of this struggle or
the horrors through which she may have to
pass. Not long hence North America will
appear on the theatre of the world stronger
than ever, because there is no other race in
the world having so much vitality; neither
is there any having so many resources. She
possesses in superior degree the majority
Of those qualities which cause the grandeur
of nations to survive the most threatening
storms. In ten years there will probably
be another North America-very probably
the same-but this other America will
weigh bea lily in the balance OF nations,
just as France, a few years after the horrors
of 1898, found herself more powerful than
ever, despite of the sinister predictions
which announced that the revolution was
the cause of her irrevocable decadence."

After the fact was made known to them
that he had placed such new restrictions
upon the delivery of the deed, we were ad.
vised by the counsel for the recusant Trus-
tee that he expected to be soon able to OBJ.
tain the deed, but he has since informed US
that bis continued absence precludes the
probability of obtaining it in time to be of
use.
Other efforts have been made to bring
about an accommodation of the matter, and
also to induce new parties to advance the
purchase money, and buy the material of
Winters IL Drake, and complete the road,
30 as to avoid forfeiture of the interests of
all concerned. These parties have informed
us that they attempted negotiation for the
materials for that purpose, but without sue
cess, because of the unwillingness of the
owners to sell.
Several thousand dollars have been ex-
pended the pastsummer by individual mems
bers of the company in preparing the road
bed for the ties and iron About one half
mile of track has been laid and rails suffi-
Gent to extend it two miles are here; also
two locomotives, four box cars and four
platform cars. Two passenger and bag
gage cars and two platform cars will arrive
within day or two. The remainder of the
iron has been stopped at La Crosse and
Milwaukee.
The difficulty of communicating with the
delinquent Trustee and the lateness of the
season render it impossible to proceed furth-
er in the matter.
1t therefore becomes certainly it
is proper-to inform you, we need not say
with how much pain, that the Directors are
compelled by the force of necessity to yield
up their trust to the State, to take effect on
the first day of January next.
For the Directors.

The Ball's Bluff Disaster.

The official report of Gen. STONE to the
War Department, discloses the principal
cause of our defeat in the late battle, and
very clearly shows that it was owing to the
mismanagement of Col. BAKER, who had
the exclusive charge of the operations on
the right wing of the forces that crossed,
and were about 10 cross the Potomac. The
suficiency of the means Of transportation
was left to bis discretion, and it appears
that after small portion of the forces had
crossed, he went over in person, and neglected
to make any provision for the regular pas
sage of troops that were to follow. When
they arrived at the river they found no one
in command of the boats, and were delayed
in crossing. Had one company been charged
with guarding the boats, sufficient troops
could have gone over to have ensured sue
cess. The failure of Col. BAKER to attend
to this important matter was the prime
cause of the disaster, although other i'm.
portant military blunders are enumerated in
the report.

The Chicago Tribune also says that Mr..

cotton, like the tomato, the pepper, and
other tropical plants, may be naturalized in
that climate. Thus far he has met with en-
couraging success. Mr.. johnson says, in
support of his theory, that an emigrant
from Louisiana, who recently opened farm

quality.

The Quakers will Pay, but not Fight.
"Friend !" said the Quaker in the old
story, addressing an individual who had in'
suited him, d" my belief forbids my striking
thee, but it does not prevent my shaking
thee !"-whereupon the vigorous Friend
administered shake that set the culprit's
teeth chattering. The worthy Friends who
represent the western shore of Maryland
and the adjacent parts of Pennsylvania and
Virginia have just concluded their yearly
Meeting for Suferings," by the adoption
of an address to the members of their So
ciety In this interesting document they
deprecate the existence of the war, and
exhort their precious young men " to alb
stain from active participation on either
side, positively declaring that no true
Friend can fight the battles of any country;
but they do not object to the imposition Of
the war taxes, for the reason that govern.
ment is indispensable" and cannot be con.
Quoted without funds. Therefore, while
Friends cannot do battle against rebellion,
they will not prevent Others from fighting
through lack of means. Here is the pas
sage from the address which puts the case :
In the present condition of civil society gov.
eminent is indispensable for the security OF
life and the preservation of property, and,
therefore, all who enjoy the benefits of govern
ment should contribute to defray the expenses
of its administration, conducted in such way
as those selected for that responsible duty shall
think it right and proper to administer 1t. Ii
every one were to contribute to the expense OF
those acts only which only he approves, the gov.
eminent could not be maintained, and anarchy
and confusion, with all their hurtful consequen
ces, must necessarily ensue. There would be
great difficulty, too, if not an impossibility,
in consistently making the REFUSAL inasmuch
as duties on many articles in use are laid for
precisely the same object.
The true position OF Friends in the civil COM
munity is to be quiet, peaceable citizens, un-
der whatever government is established over
them, cheerfully Obeying all laws with which
they can conscentiously comply; and as they
are found to do this, greater respect will be
paid to their scruples for noncompliance with
those laws which they cannot obey, and against
which the grounds of their testimony can be
made more obviously manifest.
This is an excellent compromise. Quak-
ers are rarely soldiers, but in the war they
will provide the " sinews" that lie in money
bags. and provide them cheerfully. If they
cannot hit the rebels, they will shake them

his blood his devotion to the national flag. Cut
off in the fullness of his powers as statesman,
and in the course of brilliant career as SOL
der, while the country mourns his loss, his
brothers in arms will envy while they lament
his fate. He died as soldier would wish to
die, amid the shock of battle, by voice and
example animating his men to brave deeds.
The remains of the deceased will be inferred
in this city with the honor due to his rank, and
the funeral arrangements will be ordered by

of thirty days by the officers of the brigade

Gen. II. w. Sherman's Coast Expedition
-Brigading the Troops.

The sea coast expedition, under command
of Gen. Thomas w. Sherman, of Sherman
battery fame, sailed from Annapolis on
Tuesday, the 22d, received further addi-
ton at Fortress Monroe, and is now out at
sea, where the sealed orders will be opened
to govern its future course.
The correspondent of the Detroit Tribune
gives the brigading of the troops as fol-
lows:
The general order of Gen. Sherman. read on
dress parade last evening, Q8th,) makes the
arrangement of our division read as follows:

AS near as can be estimated, there are
about twenty thousand soldiers in the ex-
petition, exclusive of the naval force.
As to the destination OF the expedition
nothing has been developed, but the news
papers are full of surmises. Some think
the blow will fall on Charleston, or Savan-
nah, or New Orleans, while others are SAN

then prevent it from marching upon the
rear of Beauregard's force, with its comnu
ncations constantly open by the river, and
what would save Beauregard, with McCIei-
ian in front, from being, not merely beaten

The Franchises Of the Minnesota and Pa
cl7c Railroad Surrendered to the State.

The President of the Minnesota and Pa.
cifc Railroad Company to-day makes
statement of the affairs of that Company
the contracts entered into for the building
Of the road-and the circumstances which
compel surrender, by the Company, OF it's
franchises to the State. We ask attention
to this statement. 1t bears on its face, and
is doubtless in fact, true narrative in all
respects. 1t shows the exercise OF most
laudable energy to prosecute great public
work in the face of the most discouraging
circumstances and failure, at last, after
all other obstacles had been overcome,
through the treachery of the Company's
own agent.
In addition to the regrets which all must
feel in the suspension of the work on the
Minnesota and Pacific, we may be allowed
to express those of personal nature which
attach to the enterprisipg gentlemen who
have for years sought to bring this great
enterprise to a successful issue. 1t has in.
volved, on their part, the sacrifice Of years
of time, and of tens of thousands of money.
The losses of men in business enterprises,
we are aware, are not often made the sub
iect Of public comment; but, in case like
this, where private success would have
been public benefit, and public injury is
wrought through business failure, we do not
feel it indicate to make public acknowl-
edgment of the services they have rendered
to the State, in bringing its resources into
light, and to assure them that they have the
hearty sympathy OF our people in their dis
appointments and losses.

The Washington correspondent of the

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Post, writing on the 18th, says:
Colonel McCook, of this city, was in the af-
fair of Bolivar Heights this week. He was
knocked down by spent cannon ball, but
sustained no serious injury. He is sixty years
of sge. His son was killed at the battle of
Stone Bridge.
1t seems difficult to have fight any
where, in which this brave old gentleman,
or one of his many sons, is not engaged.
He is the father of Gen. McCook, now
commanding our forces on the Louisville
and Nashville railroad, and of Col. r. L..
McCook, of the Ninth Ohio regiment, now
at the head of brigade in Western Vir-
ginia. Col. Geo. w. McCook, of Ohio, is
also son of the old hero.

The following are Gen. Stones orders to

after the corpse was taken from the field.
