How a soldier Foels in Battle.


The following, which weat the rounds of the
press some time ago, is possessed Of additional
interest now:
A young French officer THIS writes Of his
first experience in battle:
Our officers sent us back, for we were not
numerous enough to charge upon the enemy.
This was most prudent, for the murderoas ere
so fatal to toe white coats did US but little
harm. Our coniesl balls penetrated their
dense masses, while those Of the Austrians
whistled past our ears and respected sur per-
sGns. Il was The first time | had faced fire,
nor vas / the only one. Well, l an satisfied
with myself. True, | lodged the FIRST balls,
but Henry Nv did the same at the beginning Of
every battle. 1t is, in fact, q physical effect,
independent Of the will.
But, this tTibu e paid, If you could only feel
how each shot electrifies you'll tits like whip
on a racers legs. The balls whistle past you,
turn up the earth around you, kill one, wound
another, and you hardly notice them. You
grow intoxicated; the smell Of ganpeWder
mounts to your brain. The eye becomes blood
shot. and the look is fxed upSA the enemy.
There is something Of all the passions in the
terrible passion excited Ia a soldier by the
sight of blood and the tumult Of battle.
Everybody who has tried It, testi6ss to thu
peculiar intoxication that is produced by being
in battle. There is an infatHating influence
about the smell Of powder. the whistle Of a
ballet, and the sight Of human blood, that in
stantly transforms msn from towards to heroes
from weusn sometimes to monsters. No
on9 ear tell Of the nature or mystery Of that
tnauencs but those who have been In TIE fray

Andy johnson is reported to have said very
naiveiy that be will not return to Tennessee,
unless be can be accompanied by a Union
army. Therein the said Andrew has displayed
considerable discretion, and "discFetioR is the
better part Of ~vaioT,n especially when a man
IS in the peculiar situation Of the Tennessee
renegade. This will be something novel, il
not altogether original, TO see a man profess
sing to represent a State in the Senate, coming
home with an army 10 subdus bis con-
stituents. Andrew has evidently kicked "Ja-
cob's ladder" from under hin and is now ma
king a rspid descent the other way.
sfFacilis desceHsHs .AUerHi." lie has also
abandoned the s'conVerging lines'' Of democrat
ey and Christianity, travelling off In that broad
road that leadeth to destruction. Does Andrew
think he is now travelling "towsrd the people2"
II be does, we can assure him that the people
Of Tennessee will give him the ysrmsst recep-
ton, with bis Union army, that was ever youch-
safsd to him heretofore.
We would counsel Mr.. Lincoln TO do him the
favor, that David did For Uriah, place him in
the front of the battle. II he is now amE1-
tious to lead, let him lead in solemn reality.
This ia the pest our Tennessee people would be
glad to sac him called 20. He will soon learn
then where be is travelling -NaskgiHe URioE.

CIR WAN AND SLAVERY IN ENG-
HANn

GJR WAR AND SLAyERE IN ENG-
LAND.
Tn New York Express publishes the sub
stance of a communication which has been
addressed to that paper by British resident of
New York city. The writer is offended at the
course taken by DR.. CHEEyER, during the
present visit to England, aad denies that the
sentiments expressed by that pulpit declaimeT
truly rejects English opinion-even in anti
slavery circles. MIR. CHEEvER has repeated
Iy asserted in England, that "the United States
had iaaagwrstsd this war for the abolition of
African slavery" and was endeayoring to in
~oculate tie British mind with this idea. This
correspondent conceives that such labOrs will
be Intellectual. His opinion is that English
men generally desire to observe a strict and
silent neutrality. On the contrary, Mr.. CHEZ
YER asserts that prominent members of the
House ofLords had declared that, if the United
States would declare emancipation to be the
end and object OF the war, she would have
England for an ally. But quotations from
speeches Of British peers are given to show
the untruth or error Of this assertion. Among
these quotations, is the following extract from
a speech by Lord ~BRoUeHAM, who is well
known to have given the anti slavery cause as
vigorous an impetus Of late years as any man
in England:
regret to see that some persons propose to
bold meetings in the north Of England and
elsewhere, having reference to slavery in
America. Ihave been requested to attend one
of these meetings, to preside. l shall neither
preside nor attend, nor countenance such as
sem5lsges, nor any of the kind held in the
''present times" Those persons must be
aware that the question they propose discuss
ing and commenting upon, is one Of vast in
portance, and Of the gravest difficulty. 1t Is
one which naturally is looked upon in a differ
ent light, and with great jealousy as to Brit
ish remarAs even, by different sections in that
vast country with which Great Britain is at
peace, and whose general, mutual interests are
considered-placing relationship and connec-
ton ~aside-nearly Identical with oars.
Fifty years since / Disseminated and acted
on the difference which prevailed in mY mind
between slavery existent and what is known
as othe African slave trade" ThetwO things,
in nv opinion, are essentially different, ahd
ought to be treated differently. But | avowediy
refrain from, in the remotest degree, discussing
these questions at the present moment; and 30
far as my voice can reach, / erCreat my fellow
] countTYmen to abstain from meetings OF the
nature to which | have referred.

FOREIGN REcoeNITIoN.-The Paris cores
pondent Of the New York Herald constantly
asserts the certainty Of a recognition Of the
Confederate States, and thersfcre urges the
necessity Of tremendous war preparations at
the North. We give the following statement
for what it is worth
The fact is, that France and England have
decided TO break the blockade and recognize
the Southern ConfedeTacy, which events will
soon take place, unless some brilliant and
speedy victories are gained by The northern
forces.
In the meantime every effort Is being made
by tae government press here to prejudice the
public mind against the Union, and statements
the reverse OF polite, not 10 speskof their TO,
tai enlargement from the truth, are daily
made. The Constitutional especially, signal
ICES itself by marked hostility, each day having
offensive articles, signed by one Of the lesser
of its contributors, but ~emansting FROM the
Cabinet Of that most liberal of Mini srs,
Persisny. The trick now Is to unite Mexico
to the Southern States, SO that the Northern
Confsderacy and that Of the South may be
more equalized, and that one may keep the
other in check, leaving France and England
safe from the annoyance of seeing the Amer
! lean States assuming q power that meneced
then.
