Glennings from RusseIps Letters

Where does the letter. writer to the Thua-
dersr find warrant for such statements as the
following from his letter of the goth August?
AS predicted and apprehended, the de-
feat has developed mob violence in the North,
and outrages on freedom of speech-tarring
feathering, and destruction of property for
opinions sake-have taken place in the New
England States, which leave on the people a
stain of barbarism as large and deep as that
which rests on the slave States for similar
brutal and atrocious acts. God defend us
from mob lawl
He speaks fattering of horses and soldiers
naming the horses first, carts second, and
men last.
No army in the world has finer horses
than those which have been collected by the
activity and efforts of the Quartermaster-
General, Meigs. Prince Napoleon was much
struck with their superiority. The carts are
almost equally good and numerous. There
can be no want of horses for their cavalry,
or for remount horses, as long as the attelage
is SO good. But finer than either horses or
carts are the men.
He thus speaks of movements for amuse-
ment;
The Southerners have got a large force,
and are threatening the Upper Potomac
forces from Leesburg but there is no import
ance to be attached to it. These dispositions
are intended, most probably, to amuse their
men, whom we understand 10 be rather dis
conteRted now and then. t a5

TroubIe In the Union Damp.

The extreme right of the Republican party
is manifesting some dissatisfaction with the
late Union movement, and betrays a feeling
of restiveness in respect to it which is omin-
Gus to that harmony of action which was an-
ticipated from its authors. The Ashtabula
Sentinel is pointed in its denunciatlons, and
holds forth as follows:
ave are betrayed, transferred, and offered
up as cattle in the shambles to slavery Demo-
Gratis and sham Republicans. They who had
hold of the machinery of our party have dis
posed of US IS mere machines and have
thought no more of atransfer of two hundred
thousand voters than they would have
thought of selling so many hoes, harrows or
spinning ienniesn -

NecessIty Of a General Enronment.

1t is coming to be apparent now, that the
true plan Of raising troops for the war has
not been adopted. Only one State in the
Union has furnished her full quota. Next is
Illinois. Some of the other States have fur
nished two-thirds, some one-half and some
less. Carrying on great war by the volun-
teer system will not answer. 1t is too uncer-
tain to be depended upon. The first thing
should have been the enrolment of the en-
tire population of the country. Then any
demand, however great, could have been
supplied Immediately. Willing as the peo-
pie are to enlist, they do not come up fast
enough to answer the acquisitions of the
Government; and it would be the part Of
prudence to resort to the enrolment imme-

MIR. stanton md Southern Independence
Mr.. Stanton, the candidate of the Union
party for the Office of Lieutenant. Governor,
is being brought to grief through the
Democratic journals, upon what politicians
call bis "sntecedents." On the 28th of
February last, in speech made in his place
in Congress, he was so unfortunate as to con-
1emplatea contingency under which it would
be proper to acknowledge the independence
of the Con nfederacy. Mr.. Stanton said:
"Seven or eight States now deny their
allegiance to this Government; have organ
lied a separate Confederacy, and have de-
clared their independence of this Govern
ment. Whether that independence is to be
maintained or not is with the future. If they
shall maintain their position, and if public
opinion in the seeding States shall sustain
the authorities there for a year or two TO
come, so as to show that nothing but war
of subjugation and conquest can bring them
back, !, for one, am disposed to recognize
that independence"
This would seem to unfit Mr.. Stanton for
the nominee of a party constructed upon the
idea that under no imaginable state of cir
cumstances can the independence of the se-
ceded States be permitted, and that the war
must be endless unless the Union is restored !;
and we can not but feel some surprise to find
him aspiring to official position through its
assistance. 1t is fair to presume, however,
that he has changed his opinion upon this
point, and become a convert to the 'war-
eternslly" doctrine which his party has
adopted.

The New York EUening Post publishes q
long and learned article upon religious fasts,
proving the custom of fasting to be of great
antiquity, being practiced by the Hindoos,
the Egyptians, Assyrians and Greeks, as well
as by Jews and Christians. The value of the
exercise has generally been measured by the
duration of the abstinence; but too violent
extremes have been censured as savoring of
hypocrisy. Thus our Savior, who himself
tasted forty daysand forty nights, condemned
the Pharisees for the intemperance to which
they carried the practice of fasting, though it
Seems difficult to conceive how they could
have outdone his essay in that respect.
1t has been question considerably mooted
among theologians whether people profess
ing a religion that is unfounded in truth can
gain any thing by fasting; and it has been
doubted by many whether the Hindoos, the
Egyptians, and other peoples Of antiquity,
whose faiths were based upon false ideas
and pretended revelations, took any thing
by their abstinence. This point has never
been satisfactorily settled; nor can we know
with absolute certainty whether a modern
non-believer, free-thinker or materialist can
do aught either for himself or for cause to
which he is devoted, by going without his
regular rations. Upon questions SO pro-
found it would be useless, and perhaps
wrong, to dogmatize. They belong to those
who have devoted themselves especially to
subjects of this character; and we mention
it simply to suggest that doubtless, amid the
multiplicity of other affairs, it has, unfor-
tunately, been overlooked.
