Nlith dictated her trc5tmcnt of Holland,
and that WAS the ultimate cause of the
Years Of blood and misery will, which, in
The Naro1eonie wars, she afflicted the
Continent; and we need not hope that we
shall escape the consequences which her
greed Of power aud her commercial cupidi-
t. already threaten.
We had hoped that foresight and energy
Oh the part Of our Government delermi-
nation not only to invoke but to use the
mighty forces Of this people in putting
down this wicked rebellion OF Slavery
against Frecdon1-nlight bribc her to mac
ton. But re have never believed that
peace would outlast the supply Of cotton
on hand; hence the pregnant warn
ings to our rulers that VIC have
uttercd-hcnce our incessant entreaty
to put competent men at the head, and
push our victorious columns along. We
arc disappointed ut the want Of wisdom
which has dictated a policy, or rather
conducted the war without policy, at
Washington; and the embodiment with
England has come from an accidental and
in1naterial cause, ninety days before We
had marked it down in our prophetic cal
endar Of events. We accept the latter,
with the full assurance that though peace
is eminently desirable, and ought to be
sought by all means which do not involve
national dishonor, war is not the most ca
la1nitous Of events. This Republic has tbs
ability to fight England one hundred years
and come ont Of the contest not only vieto
rious, but triumphant over the British
Monarchy itself, which, we predict,
hostilities are provoked, will, by conlplica
| tons which other than prophets can see
| be leyeied IN the dust.

Some Of the Eastern journals are copy
ing largely from the pamphlet Of Charles
Enet, Jr., civil engineer, which purports to
be criticism upon Gen. cClellan's pol
ICY as Com1nander~in-C Chief Of the Army Of
the United States, and which calls II ques-
ton his fitness for that exalted position.
The pamphlet, even with the increased cir
culation which the aforesaid journals
are giving to its contents, is not likely
10 create any profound or per1na-
nent impression upon the public
mind. This Mr.. Ellet has achieved some
reputation in his profession Of Civil Engi-
nccring. So long as he confines himself to
the rules Of fixed science be is to be relied
upon; but when he ventures into the field
OF speculation or criticism, his opinions arc
Of the smallest possible account Here in
in the West he is chiefly known
SIS the author Of two schemes: One
for throwing railroad bridge across
the Mississippi River at st. Louis, at an
elevation that would carry the east end o.
| it to the bluffs beyond the American bot
| tom, q distance Of ten OF twelve miles, ant
take the structure into the city, high above
the house-tops. The other, for the con
struction Of vast number Of dams acros
the gorgcs Of the Al1eghany Mountains t
be used reservoirs for collecting and hold
ing water, with which to keep the 0hi'
River in good naylgable condition durin!
the summer monthsl This is q sample Q
what the man can do when he leaves hi
equations and logarith1ns. It is not likcl
| that any criticism which Mr. El1et ma
offer upon the conduct of the war, or tn
capacity Of the Commander-in Chief, wi
either break up the Army Of the Poton1a
or place him in Gen. McC1eIan's boots.

THR SLAVE TNSURRECTT0N


Despite all that has enlanated from the |
section thus visited, to disturb the peace Of
the country at large, the sympathy will be
irrepressible in behalf Of the innocent 5uf-
ferers by slave Msurrection sin South
Carolina and yet this will be tempered by
consciousness that never has fallen more
righteous retribuion than that which has
overwhelmed Charleston. 1t was there
that the rebellion was hatched. There
the first euu was fired to disturb the har-
raony, and discover the ties Of the nation.
Sumter fell BY that act the country was
plunged into 8 war, and brothers arrayed
against brothers in the field. Already
throughout the land widows and orphans
are the innocent sufferers Of this unholy re-
bellion. These mourners are in our own
city, and in all the North, and the war has
only fairly begun.
Those who deliberately launched upon
the nation these horrors, have now the bit
terest cup put to their own lips. They act
ed deliberately and in the face Of what has
u0H Htl114eA LuGu3 u 4CfN49 tA44o0t33 4A W
pressed race, outnumbcring them on their
own soil. They brought upon themselves
these evils. It was they who taught these
slaves falsehoods, that " Linco1n's n1inions''
were Abolitionists y that a Government
having a nulatto for q Vice-Presidcnt had
sent down its troops to free the blacks.
What further dangerous doctrines have
these South Caro}inians openly discussed
before these blacks, Of fighting " for their
liberties Of preferring "death before dis
| lono1?' What frebrands have these mad
men handled and tossed about over thei1
powder magazine? They have Themselves
disseminated among their bondmen bette1
and more outspoken doctrines Of Human
Liberty than any Northern journal eoule
have done, and if the blacks have made tht
