SUPERIORITY OF THE SOUTHERN OFFICERS OVER
THE NoRTHERN.--t is impossible to read the
Southern accounts in detail Of the battle at Bull
run, which we published yesterday, and COM
pare them with the accounts given by our own
officers and men, as well as Of those civilians
who witnessed the fight, without coming TO the
conclusion that the Southern army had greatly
the advantage in officers over the Northern
army. They fought with a bravery which casts
the conduct of the Union officers into the
shade, and that self-sacrifcing heroism told on
the fortunes of the day The men advanced to
the charge or held important positions while
they were decimated, because they were ami
mated and fred by the example of their leaders
1t is impossible otherwise to account for their
great loss in men and officers, far exceeding,
according to our accounts, the loss IN the
Union army. r 1900
The number of our officers of high rank
killed and wounded bears no proportion TO
those killed and wounded in leading the enemy.
The rebels lost at least in killed, two generals,
one brigadier general, six colonies, one lieuten-
ant colonel; in wounded, one brigadier general,
six coloaels and three majors-twenty field Of
ficers in all. The loss in company officers, though
great, was not, perhaps in equal proportion.
The Southern field officers fell in leading their
troops to the charge, and their example inspired
their men with great ardor, even when
they were inclined to give way
We read that Beauregard and john
ston themselves were in the thick
of the fight at the decisive moment,
Beauregard having his horse shot under him;
and throughout the daysthese generals exposed
themselves continually to death by gallopinS
along the front of their lines to observe the
deyelopement of the battle. Where were
our field officers during this period
We are almost ashamed to tell. We know there
are gallant exceptions-such as Sprague, OF
Rhode Island; but it must be confessed
that our field officers, on the whole, re-
aected but little credit upon the army OIL
upon the loyal States, and the chief part OF
the fighting was done by brave private'
and company officers on their own hook Gun
superiority was in the men. The Southern su
nerioritv was in the officers. The reason is OBJ
yious; the officers in the federal army have
been selected from purely political or per
sonal considerations, and without any regard t.
the professional qualifications necessary for snc
an important trust; whereas in the Southern
army he field officers have been chosen chief
for their courage, skill and scienthc a'''n
mcnts. Hence the difference.

COMMERCIAL REVOLUTION IN TIE UNITED !
SrArEs.-In the midst of the ruins of an immense
commerce that has grown up and prospered in
the United States for the last twenty years, not
withstandng the temporary revulsions produced
nv oyertrading-a commerce founded on peace
and the integrity of the Union--another kind
! of commerce now takes its place In the loyal
| States. It is a commerce founded on war, and
| il is destined to work a revolution In the bus-
ness operations of the North. As in our war
with England in lSl2-15, many branches OF
trade sprang up, and rs in the war OF Great
Britain with the elder Napoleon, numerous
branches of English manufactures We're stimn-
lated into uncommon activity, so will 1t be now
in the Northern States Of the American repub-
lie. The ordinary channels of trade are either
completely closed or partially DISTRACTED; but
new business is springing up. There are
$500, 900 900 to be expended, and 100000 men
to be employed in the war. Their outfit, and
all that is necessary for the operations OF the
army and navy, will give tremendous
impetus to those branches OF trade which
are directly or indirectly connected with
the war; There will be an expenditure OF
at least million day-far exceeding the
whole Southern trade lost for the present What
a vast circulation of money will thus be created
e in the community! The whole currency OF the
g country, amounting to $l50,000,000, will be
a superseded by the Treasury notes OF the govern
b ment with the exception of some little corners
e of no account. The $4,000, 600 of specie or

All around it the forest trees
Shiver and whisper in the breeze;
Over it sailing shadows 90
Of sailing hawk and screaming crow,
And mountain grasses low and sweet,
Grow in the middle Of the street,
Over the river, under the hilf.
Another village lieth still
There see in the cloudy night
Twinklinr stars of household light.
Fires that CLEAN from the smithy's door,
Mists that curl on the river shore;
And in the roads no grasses grow,
For the wheels that hasten to and fro.
Fn that village on the hill
Never is sound Of smithy or mill:
The houses are thatchcd with grass and flow
Never clock to tell the hours; [ers,
The marble doors are always shut,
You cannot enter in hall or hut;
All the villagers are asleep;
Never grain to sow or reap;
Never in dreams to moan or sigh;
Silent and idle and low they G.

Looks to the other village tloce,
