America in Europe.

BAYARD TAYLOR, now in Europe,
thus closes an interesting letter to the
n. Y. Independent:
One only thought disturbs the peace
snd seclusion of my mountain home. l
DO not need to close my eyes to see that
long, imperial street, transformed into an
avenue of banners-to see the sudden
blossoming of national colors from ev
cry roof, every church-spire, every hill
top-to see the "sun-burst" of Free
dom spreading southwark in a mighty
arc, slowly driving before it the black
cloud Of tyranny and treachery. I see
my noble cOuntrymen, God bless item !!
creating race of heroes, refreshing our
slow commercial blood from the foun-
tsiDs Of sublime self sacrifice and purost
patriotism l wait for the tardy MESA
ges which reach me across the Atlantic,
and with every new instance that great
people is thoroughly in earnest, with ey-
cry Illustration of bravery and endu
rance, and devotion to the good cause, I
hear voice saying, like Henry OF Ma
Ysrre i: Pends-toi, brave CriAon: nous
cUOns combattu, ct tw ny etois pas p
Ny consolation is, that if "they also
serve, who only stand and watt" in the
present crisis they who are afar from
the field of action may yet make them
selves echoes of the battle-trumpets-in-
terpreters OF the war-cries, to these mil
lions of European spectators.
Yes Here, at this distance, | see
truly the significance of the struggle
Here, where, in years past, have COM
ktted hostile opinions, grappled with
tough monarchical prejudices, and ex-
hsusted myself in endeayors to make
our political system clear to minds which
otherwise well instructed, had not the
least comprehension of its Character
my present difficulty is, not to show that
the rebellion should be suppressed, but to
show how it could possibly have arisen.
The fatal imbecility of Buchanan's adj
ministration has seriously damaged our
prestige abroad any hesitancy. any
tampering with treason, any failure on
the part of our rulers TO press the war
boldly and vigorously to a conclusion,
would complete the mischief. In Europe,
1t IS our republican form of government
that is on trial. A despotic assumption
OF power would injure us far less. in the
present instance, than an exhibition of
weakness. As an orthodox believer in
selt-government, my constant prayer is:
dod preserve US from the shame, the
meladicable infamy of Peace on any
other terms than the unconditional sinh.

How Mcclellan takes his Oh.
servatiOns.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune, writing from Washington,
says:-
ave may, perhaps, meet a man in a
broad straw hat, and without his tale-tell
ing shoulder straps, riding slowly thro'
the camp, looking intently at the men,
and noting every item of their accommo-
dations, and overheariug, without SEEM
ing to listen, every word of their much or
little grumbling. Unless he happens to
be personally known, few take notice of
him, and the utmost recognition he re-
ceives is from the wid-awake sentry, who
demands his authority for passing the
lines. Yet if this man were to appear in
all the gaudy paraphernalia with which
the articles of war entitle him to bedeck
himself, the musket of every sentry would
be at the "present," and the hand of ev-
ery officer would visit his cap with
respectful military salute-for this un-
ostentatious man is an officer of high
rank, on quiet tour of observance. He
may be brigadier general, or even a
major general, or it is not impossible that
it is the now universally-trusted McClel-
Ian himself.
For this young commandments fond
of show, but ever, save on State occasions.

Rifles (his body guard in preference to

regulations of the service entitle him, has

Republican Convention.

1t is perfectly competent for the Con-
vention, when it comes together, to take
such action as it pleases. We hope, then
us action will be governed by the appa-
rent fact stated--that ia this emergency
all those truly loyal to the Government
should be united in action. They may
easily be, in our judgment. First, by
taxing men in whom all the people will
nave confidence as to their honesty, ill.,
[,egnty and qualifications and secondly,
55y dividing them judiciously between the
late parties. This done, all excuse for
DIVISION among the true friends of the
government will be efectually done away
and little or no division among such will
east. United action is highly desirable,
and by this mode, which is certainly not
!! only unobjectionable, but commendable,
nnay be secured.-NSlwaukee SENT

THE WHOLE Story ToLp.-The Lon
don Spectator has this paragraph under
its heading of .'News of the Week.:
''The American Congress has voted
the men and the money required by the
PRESIDENT, and twenty per cent, more,and
the house OF representatives has affirmed
by 90 to IS that it is "no part of the du-
ty of officers to capture fugitive slaves"
The hand moves slowly on the dial, but
it moves, and when the fingers pass the
hour, the knelI of slavery will ring out
with clang that will startle Europe.

SHE REGRETTED IT.-The following
anecdote is going the rounds.
San elderly lady who attended a
meeting of the First Vermont Regiment
arose full of enthusiasm, and said she
thanked God that she was able to do
something for her country; her two sons,
all she had in the world, were in the reg
iment; and the only thing she had to re-
greet was, that she could not have known
it twenty years ago-she would have fur
nished more"
