1HE MRT@oDIsTs AND THE WAR. Rev, Bish-
op Ames, OF ths Methodist Episcopal Church
III INDIANA, lately advised his sou, a Young man
OF eighteen years, to enlist for the war. And has
e%Pressed determination to spend the winter
in camp himself The Conferences will aoon
bs over, whep he will have a few months re-,
lease from official duties, which he urouoses
thus 10 devote TO the moral and religious inter.
ests OF the soldiers. He is one OF lhe most able
and popular men of the West, and his spirit is
largely shared by the ministers with whom he
10 associated. Al the late session of the iii.
hols Conference, which embraces but n ANAL
portion OF the State, not less than ten clergy.
men received appointments as Chap!ains To lhe
army they having already been chosen TO fill
mat position by the proper authorities. The
ether Western Conferences are also giving
soE'e Q! their best men to the work.
On Monday week information was lodoed al
Gen. Smiths headquarters at WASHINGTON that
E. young lady, lately teacher in a seminary
in Tennessee had escaped from that State and
came within our lines. 1t was discovered that
the lady had stopped at the residence of an
uncle, who was then dying, at a house four
miles above Langley's The individual sent
10 pass the lady through our lines was unable
TO reach her Tor fear Of the rebels in the vcn.
ity OF the house, and he returned 10 headauar.
ters without her. Fears are entertained that
she may yet be taken prisoner should the reb.
els hear OF her wherea bouts. The name ofIhe
young lady is Miss Harriet Morrison, and she
has relRtIVeS residng in Rensselaer, county, N.
!. Abnu! year ago she left her home and
went TO Tennessee as a teacher. She is q lady
OF tine intelligence and is said TO be possessed
of complete Information as TO tho strength of
the rebel army and its plan of campaign in and
around Manassas Junction and Fairfax Court
House. She has been six weeks in effecting
her escape.
| The Louisville Journal of Saturday says tba,
the Hon. John J. Crittenden reached that city
en- Friday evening for the purpose Of having an
interview with Gen. Anderson, lie intends to
start this week for the mountains, 10 arouse the
nardy sons Of the hills to take serviee for the
Government and repel the invaders frsm that
State. The appearance efIhe venerable states
man IN that quarter will occasion the greatest
enthusiasm, and produce the most encouraging
effects.

Immense Armies.

There is little doubt that the armies now on
she line ofthe Potomac aud its vicinity smouns
60 the iusmense aggregate of near 200, 900 men
on each side, or 400, 900 combslanis. When.
ever a general battle shall occur, it will not
only have no parallel on tho Western CoHti.
nent in the forces engaged. but hardly one IN
the history even of mOdern Europe, will vie
with il. The great battles Of Napoleon were
generally fought with nuMbers far Inferior 10
those How under the wallis OF Washington.
For instance, at Austerlitz, where Napoleon
defeated the combined armies of Russia and
Austria, he had but SO, 600 troops; the allies had
100000. At Jena aud Auerstadt, where he
broke the power of Prussia, his forces were not
over 10000 strong. At the great battle of
Wagtsm, fought with the AustTians on the
banks Of the Danube, in 1909, he had but 160,.
.00U-men At Burodino. under the walls Of
Moscow, be had but 100000 to oppose the
Russians. At Waterloo he Gid not nave to ex.
eeed $4,000 troops.
$ The only battle field wc now recollect Of,
where lh4 cqlnbatahts were az numerous as
those around Washington, was Leipsic, iq 1919,
where Napoleon had lis 5000, and the allies
Russians, Austrians, Prusslans, Swedes and
Germauss-uuMbered $4,000. Nearly halt a
million OF men took part in this tremendous
battle, which was known as the Combat OF the
Gianis.
. IL lasted three days, and ended in a complete
evarlhrOw OF Napoleon, wLo was drlven into
France, where q series Of disas: CONNER ced
that did not end Gntll Napoleon eOdlc2,eI his
grown and was exj lied to the Island OF Elba, in
1914. No battle was ever fought oD tie sol OF
the United States where 10000 combatanIs
took art 10 il on both sides.
From these Egurcs we can Judge Of what a
battle we have reason 10 expect when the hosts
OF Mcclellan and Beauregerd, more than twice
the number Of those Of Napoleon and Yelling
ton at Waterloo. come into collision on the
banks OF the Potomac. 1t will be en- event
that will be the great military fea ture, PROBABLY
fJr ages 10 cone, of martial prOwesI in Amer
i;a.
Washington never had thirty thousand men
10 one army under his comma nd Jackson ne
yer. had fifteen thousand meE, and Scott never
befOre the present year had seen twenty thou
sand troops under his orders. Great is the
ability required TO manR IYre and handle such
large body OF men aud bring them into actIou
at the proper time and place. The late battle
al Bull Run extended over seven miles from
one end of our line to ANOTHER. To know wha
10 going on IN such an amphitheatrc, aud tc be
prepared to order up reserves and trensthen
every exposed point, requires the highest de-
gree Of inlellect.-Cin. Eng.

Evergreen Mountains Of Life.


There's land far away mid the stars we are
told,
Where we know not theEsorrows of time;
Where the pure waters wander through valleys
of gold,
And life is a treasure sublime,
'Tis the land of our God-tis the home of our
soul,
Where ages of splendor eternally roll
Where the way-weary traveller reaches his goal,
On the evergreen mountains of life.
Our gaze cannot soar to that beautiful land
But our visions have told of its bliss,
And orr souls by the gale from its gardens are
famed,
When we faint in the deserts of this.
And we sometimes have longed for holy repose,
When cur spirits were worn with temptations
and woes,
And we've drank from the tide of the river that
flows
From the evergreen mountains of life.
Oh, the star never trsads the blue heavens at
night
But We think where the rsnsomed have trod,
And the day never smiles from.its places of light
Bnt we feel the bright smiles of our God.
We are travelling homeward, through changes and
gloom,
To kingdom where pleasures uuchan gingly
5Iooins
And our guide is the glory that shines through
the tomb,
From the Evergreen Mountsins of Life.

British Neutrality.

On Tuesday, the 9th ofAugust, the Brit
ish Parliament was prorogued, after the.cus
tomary Ministerial document, called /" the
Speech from the Throne," was read by the
Lord Chancellor. One sentence runs as fol.
lows
"The disseutions which arose some months
ago in the United States or North America
have unfortunately assumed the character
Of open war. Her Majesty, deeply lament-
ing this result, has determined, in common
with with the other powers Of Europe, to OBJ
serc 8llict neutrality bst,cecn the contend5ng
parties"
This is fair promise. We wonder bow
it has been kept. Lord Palmerston told the
house of Commons that blockade was no
blockade unless it were so strictly kept that
yesseles could enter or leave the prescribed
port Lord Lyons, long suspected of stronly
sympathising with the South, is actually &C.
cused, at this moment, as having entered in-
to Communication with Mr.. Jefferson Davis
as TO the terms on which England would rec
ognise 'the so>called Confederate States" as
an independent nation. And, to crown all.
the London Nomisg Post, Palmerston's or
gan and property, declares that there is 3 de
jure Government in "the South" and pro-
claims it as a ''tact that the South has achiey
ed its Independence" If this be Palmer
ston's idea of neutrality, it will not give sat
isfaetion here.
Let England play false now, or even at
tempt it, and she will percipitate herself in
to deadly war with this country. We can
raise sufficient soldiers to subdue Southern
Rebellion and punish British audacity, and
we will do it. For every four men now un-
der arms against the South, there would be
five and-twenty ready to pull trigger against
British enemy. We have had ample ex-
perienoe ofthe insolspce Of such foe, and
we have already punished it in very indis-
putable manner. If England wishes war
with this oountry--on no other account than
because it has fourished under republican
system-we will not say "No," and then
Earth may hide-waves engulf-fro consume us,
But they shall not to Slavery doom us:
If they rule it shall be Ger cur ashes and our
/ graves
But we've smote them'already with fire the
waves,
And new triumphs on land ore before US,
To the charge !-Heoven's banner be Ger US.
Is England anxious to lose Canada and
her West India Islands Then, the readiest
way is TO acknowledge the South, which will
! cause a war with the United States, The is-
sue of such contest would simply deprive
England OF her Atlantic and transatlantic
possessions, besides placing her at the msr-
cy of France. Phil. Press.
