The Faith of the People.

Events pass us with such rapidly that time
is not afforded even for a moments ref, ion
The country hangs, literally upon the wires,
and the tri-daily electric news has become such
fixed fact that one would think the nat ion
impervious TO a shock even from a gavanic
battery. But this is not the result of indifItr-
ence nor calIousness. 1t is the faith Of the
people in our rulers, and those who have the
conduct of this war.
In all these weeks Of agonizing suspense.
when the fate orthis nation has, TO human evez
hung upon the issue OF Il day, there has been
distrust Of integrity, and but little com
plaint Tue world IN no land under other insji-
tutions, can afford such an instance OF the faith
of the people. One day the country feels Ger
tain that the seizure Of Slidell and Mason is
right, and are willing, on that ISSUE to accept
war with the greatest naval power of the
world. The next day flashes the announce
ment that the Administration has surrendered
those traitors and could the electricity, the
next hour, have combined the voice of these
all over the land who love our Union, it would
have struck the White House, with Il reply of
cheerful acquicscencc, The moral sublmity
Of such faith cannot be imagined
Again, when all eyes are stretched towards
the extending lines Of half million of sol
dicrs, hoping, and expcC ting, momentariy, that
combined movement would crush ont rebel
lion and electrify the world. the news comes
that the head of the War Department has re
tired, and another taken his place. Not a crit
iciSm is heard, not murmur uttered, but tha,
abiding faith Of the people acqaiesccs, and
scarce rippe runs along The surface of pop
ular thought
Again, the Nalioaal exegcncy demands
suspension Of specie paylxcnls by the Banks.
and no sooner is the sacrifice demanded, than
the people acquicsce, bnlying all prcconcrivcd
pre'liudices, and yielding a point that lies AT
the base OF all ordinary financial operations
All this shows the faith of the people; Of Il
people who have given uncounte,l men and
uncounted dollars TO the cause of the Union.
and who, too, lor months, have been forced To
live on hope alone.
Tell US not that the people are unreason-
able; that they are impatient; that they are
tickle; but tell US that in 10 nation on the
globe dwells such faith as in our people

WHAT GEN. LEE IS AFTER.-1hc Charles
ton correspondent Of the Richmond Examiner
writing under date Of Jan. ), gives the follow
ing rs ''lhc situation of the sca-boar,l:7
All accounts seem 10 agree as 10 the fact
that the Yankee gun boats are admirably man
aged. They range at will mp and down the
li'tle hayUus Of the coast, and their rin2d guns
arc always served with great precision 1t was
probably the consideration OF this great aI-
vantage which the enemy possesses lhat has
induced Gcn. Lee to fall back from the shore
of the main land ard to choose his position for
final stand about three miles from the Coosa
River. The position Of the hostile forces at
this time may be briefly stated as rollows:-
The enemy, by means OF his gun boats, holds
command of Broad River and St. Helena
Sound, with all the Intervening islands. His
troops also occupy the main land just oppo-
site Port Royal Ferry, and can now pos
scss themselves, whenever they please, of tie
rest Of the shore opposite to Port Royal IS
land, making, in all, tract Of about six miles
long and Il half mile WIDE Immediately bor-
,lering on the CooSa river. This tract has
been abandoned altogether by the Confederate
forces which have rcccded about three mites
toward the railroad, leaving a strip of rice
lands. averaging two miles in width separat-
ing them from the position yielded to The enc
my. These rice fields have all been Flowed" !"
or inundated, by military authority, so that
there are now only few narrow roads by
which the Yankees can push forward toward
the interior. Should they advance, of course
they must abandon the support of the gun
boats, and trust TO their own strength on the
land.

Adviccs from EaroHc announce the receipt
Of the news Of the giving up Of SlidelI and
Mason, which was hailed with satisfaction by
the English people and press. The war feel
ing had previously abated considerably, and
the positive assurance that hos!i.itics were not
to result from the Trent aff;lir, seemed to be
most acceptable intelligence to the great mass
es Of the English people Of all classes. The
rebel commissioners had not yet arrived, and if
they anticipated (as they doubtless did il warm
reception aud grand demonstration over their
release, they were doomed TO sad disappo;nl-
ment. They were not sent to England in Il
nati1nal vessel, but simply taken to West
India port and left to seek transit as other pas
sengcrs do by The regular stcamer-nnd the
London Times, the chief rebel organ, III ODE
dience to popular sentiment, insists that they
must not be lion'a.d-anI speaks of them i'll
the most cOntemptuUuS terms. 1t has { strong
editorial on the reception due them, ana says:
They are about the most worthless booty it
would be possible to extract from the jaws of
the American Lion, having been long known
as habitu;tl haters and revilers Of Eagland, .

these fellows an ovation. England has re
turned them good for evil, and if they can they
will be only too willing 10 catanglc her in war
with the North. Eng and would have done

A Noble Utterance from a eallant 1rish,nsn


Gen. Shields, Of Mexican war fame was ser
enaded at Washington, last week, on his ar
rival from the Pacific. In answer he said:
When the summons OF his adopted coun-
try reached him he was wandering among the
mountains of Oregon, but took the first stca-
mer TO San Francisco, and thence to New
York, where he Delayed but one night, and
had arrived here in health, strength and heart
ready for the work before him, and there was
much TO be done.
While there was possibility Of compromise
and peace, he was content. But now he had
thrown aside politics, and was only a soldier.
OF three thing, he was e0at'lent, that he 1uld
be true to his allegiance, would do his whole
duty, and would never turn his back upon the
foe. He wished to say n Few words to his
fri.nds of the Irish Brigade, and other soldiers
present. An armed mob was not an arm
otherwise the rersians wOad have whipped
the Greeks.
We have in this flee north the best military
material in the world. What we need in ad-
dition is discipline and gcneralship. Ten
thousand disciplined troops could whip all the
men WHO came TO Washington in ten years.
lie was happy to sec that we had un army on
the Potomac. for which fact great credit was
dns not only to the GeneraIin-chief but TO the
administration. lie knew the South, and
did not underrate its strength; but properly
led the Northern soldiers were more than a
match for any people.
He would inculcate as the first duty Of a
soldier, obedience. If he were in command of
a brigade or division, be would break it in or
break it down. In conclusion, he said: This
army, if properly handled and gallantly led,
will reverse Bull Run; redeem American hon
or and American character; annihilate the
rebel Government; and restore this great free,
I.milt ntal Republic to its former high place

Senator Wade and his Labors.

The Washington Sunday Chronicle pays this
tribute to the labois Of Senator Wade:
The public are looking forward with much
interest TO the report of the joint committee
on the condnct of tho war, of which the Hon.
Benjamin L. Wade, Senator from Ohio, is
chairman. We do not expect any startling
disclosures, Or rich Developments, but simple
and succinct history Of the war from the be-
ginning. General Mcclellan, General Fremont.
General Patterson and numerous other officers
of high rank have been examined The defeat
at Manassas, the massacre at Balls Bluff the
death Of Lyon, and many other mysterious
military proceedings viii be explained, and the
country will know who is to blame. There
are many advantages in such L committee 1t
shows that the just supremacy Of The civil pow
cr over the military is maintained, and it pre-
vents our army from becoming what many have
dreIded-a close corporation, and eventually
al agent Of tyranny.
In this connection wccaunot but all lde to The
labors Of Senator Wade, as the chairman. and
his colleagues on the committee. 1t was i'm
mcdalcly orga.aEed, and its Iabors prosecuted
with amazing prCmptitude. The Senator from
Ohio has been detained from his scat in the
Senate, TO superintend the doings Of the COM
mltcc, and its sessions have been almost con-
stan:ly held the members meeting from day
to day, and seeking no time for relaxation, or
Congressional duty, uLless ON legislation of i'm

In the various accounts Of the late battle
near Somerset, it is universally conceded that
the rebel General ZpIlcnffr was killed w. a
pistol shot through the LEFT breast and that the
shot was frel by Col. Fry, Of the 4th Ken
lucky Regimcnt-but the circumstances at
tending the event are differently stated by
each writer. If any one is able 10 give a
true version of the affair, It is doubtless Col
Fry himself, and the following account of il
is gathered from letter he wrote to his wife
Immediately after the battle:
Colonel Fry was in the act of leading his
regiment into Il charge upon the Mississippans,
when Ger. Zollieufftr, accompanied by his aid,
rode up TO Linn and said: ~ on are not going
to fight your friends. are you? These men,
(pointiIg TO the Mississippians) are all your
Friends. IN the meantime, Zollicofftrs aid
fired upon Col. Fry, wounding his horse from.
which wound the animal died. Col Fry then
turned and fired upon Zollicoffer with fatal er-
feet. Cen Zollcoff.r evidently labored under
the impression that Col. Fry was rebel Off
Ger. The stnrics about the old intimacy of
the two officers are all untrue. They had
never met before, nor did Col. Fry know the
rank OF the officer upon whom he fired, as ilu.
evidences of his rank were covered by Il cloak
which Gen. Zolicofftr wore in battle.
