ANECDOTES OF OLD 1RoNs1DEs.

The following is we'll calculated to
make the rising generation proud of the
noble spirits who shed so much lustre on
their country's name during the memor-
able war of 1912, with the then prou
mistress of the seas.
The most brilliant naval action of the
last war was undoubtedly that of the old
American frigate Constitution (44), COM
manded by Commodore Stewart, when
she captured the two British corvettes,
Cyane and Leuant, of a greatly superior
force, each Of them being equal to the
old fashioned thirty three gun frigates
The handling of the American frigate
was throughout scientific and unexcep-
tionable.
By no maneuyering could either Of
the British vessels ostain position to
rake the Consultation, shift their ground
as they would Old Lonsidcs was be-
tween them, blazing away upon both
vessels at the same time. During the
whole action, Stewart, instead of mount
ing the horseback, sat in more ex-
posed situation astride the hammock
nettings, the better to observe the man
euvering of his antagonists. The
Cyanc was the first to strike to Brother
Jonathan-not an unusual thing with
British vessels during that war. The
first lieutenant came in haste to the Com
modore to announce the fact.
"The starboard ship has struck, sir, -
said the officer
II know it, sir, replied the Commo-
dore. "The battle is just half won.'
"Shall | order the band to strike up
Yankee Doodle, sir?" inquired the
lieutenant.
Here the Commodore took a huge
pinch of snuff, and then answered
quickly
'.Had we not better whip the other
first, sir?'
cay, ay, sir, replied the lieutenant,
taking the hint, and went to his quarters
In short time afterwards, the Leuan,
lowered the cross Of Old England to the
stars and stripes, and the battle was en-
ded. The lieutenant being somewhat
rebuked at his premature exultation
upon the surrender of the first vessel,
was rather shy of approaching his COM
mander again; but Stewart, beckoning
to him, said with smile:
Don't you think the band had better
strike up Yankee Doodle now, sir?'
In an instant that spirit-stiring strain
was floating on the breeze, played as no
other than Yankee band can play it,
and the gallant crew shouted forth their
cheers Of victory as no other than a
Yankee crew can shout.

Tho Retrograde Movement OF the

This movement has excited no little bittel
irony and severe comment on the part Of thost
journals who were so indignant at the remoTa
of FREMONT. The reasons for the recent change
in FREMoNr's plan Of conducting the campaign
10 tie West are thus briefly stated BY the New
York World, in referring to letter from
Missouri correspondent:
Fremont, IL seems, utterly Ignorant of the
force, Intentions, and even position of the enc

through difficult country, where the enemy
was az home, and could retreat without obstruc,
tion, and bad no intention Of giving battle, until
after they had exhausted and crippled the Union
forces by long, harsssing, and fruitiess march.
Il was not worth while to weaken our army on
the Mississippi and prevent an advance down
the river for the sake of giving chase to q re
treating rabble that bad no intention offighting.

Rebels 1on Sea ana RobeIs on land

The New York World, in the annexed para
graph, probably gives as good an answer, If not
satisfactory one, as can be given to per-
picking questions:
A correspondent desires to know "why it is
that the soldiers Of the South, caught upon the
sea, should be hung as pirates, while those
captured on land are kept unharmed as prisoners
of war;" As this difference OF treatment per-
plexes probably many others besides the writer,
we take an opportunity to explain. The distinc.
ton arises from accident rather than from any
difference in the heinousness Of the crimes in
the eye of law. The rebel on land and the reb'
ell at sea are equally guilty Of o capital OF
fense. The former incurs the guilt OF treason,
the latter of piracy. A difference, however, ex'
lists in the method of prosecution. The pirate,
wherever arrested, can be brought for trial be.
fore any United States Court in the Union, and
hence there has been no difficulty in securing
the prosecution of all cases of piracy. The
crime of treason can be tried only in the State
where the offense is committed, which, OF
course, renders impossible the regular trial OF
all tres sonable offenders in the States now In
rebellion. What, then, can be done with this
class of criminsls2 Are they to be liberated
because the Courts that should try them are be-
yond the reach of the authorihes2 II not,
they must be held In duress, either TO be ex'
changed for Federal soldiers who have been
captured, or to be dealt with when law has
been restored to its regular course. r.

British Precedents for the seizure OF

If precedents are to be consulted, several
may be found of q character very similar to the
act of the gallant Captain Wilkes, with the DO.
sition Of the parties reversed. During the Re.
volutionary War, In 1850, Henry Laurens, Of
South Carolina, was dispatched by the Cont.
mental Congress as an envoy to Holland, In q
neutral ship. When off Newfoundland shs was
overhauled by an English frigAte, and Lsurens
was seized with his papers, and sent to London,
where he was kept close prisoner In the Tow
er until the war was ended. The British Gov
ernment, SO far from apologizing to the Dutch
for seizing him, made the fact that bis dispatch.
es indicated friendly feeling toward the Amer
ican colonies on the part of Holland pretext
for declaring war against that country.
! During the Canadian rebellion of 1878, the
British authorities not only invaded our terrific
~ in pursuit. Of the rebels Of that day, but de-
stroyed the steamer Caroline In our waters for
the offense Of carrying passengers to the rebel
resort on Navy Island-a very similar offense
to that in which Captain Wilkes found the Trent
engaged. For this performance, 1t may be re-.
membered, the chief actor, Allan McNab, was
honored with knighthood By the British Govern
ment. - .s,s'.sg ssrili-ls

We-OpeninR OF the Baltimore and

We hope the anticipation Of the early re-
opening Of this road in the following paragraph
which we copy from an Eastern paper may be
realized: s
The re-opening of the Baltimore and Ohio
Road, matter Of vital Importance to both the
farmers of the North bank Of the Ohio and the
business public Of the Eastern cities, s in iair
way of being accomplished before mid winter.
The advance of General Kelly to komney mas
allowed the company to rebuild two important
bridges-one at the North branch Of the Poto-
mac, and the other at Patterson Creek, and as
the Federal lines advance the road IS to be put
in complete running order. The district yet
partially in rebel possession, or liable to inter-
ruption by them, is that situated between har'
per's Ferry and Hancock, a distance OF forty'
nine miles From movements now In progress
there is reason TO believe that the rebels Will De
induced to clear out from that part OF Virginia
and when they do the road will be Immediately
opened. To effect this object would be as good
as the winning of battle by the government
Its value, in adding to the volume OF grain sent
East during the winter months, cannot be over
estimated. .1r rtl
