Fin up the Old Regiments.

The New York Euenivg Post has an able
and opportune article, urging the impor-
lance of filling up the old regiments now in
the field, before the new regiments are Or
ganized. 1t says: " The urgent need to-day
is to recruit their ranks-to ill up to the
maximum standard the brave organizations
which now, after the sickness and battle, of
a year, are mere Skeletons" We copy the
following excellent suggestion:
The strenuous effort of every great gen.
eral has been to recruit the tried regiments
with new men. 1t was the study Of Napo-
leon, when be returned from his dsas rus
Russian campaign with broken army, and
the danger was imminent, to place new re-
cruits by the side of veterans, and to keep
alive the old organizations with their officers
and historic glories. When be returned
from Elba his first act was to call about bin
from Spain and Italy all his non~commis-
stoned officers to lead his new recruits and
on the field OF Waterloo, WHEN tie Old
Guard, (Which never surrendered" paste,
from time into history the young recruits
of which it was in coed part composed
fought as bra0ely, and died as gaI!autly as
the soldiers OF Italy or of Egypt.
The emergency OF this nation is as great
as his. We cannot afford to disregard tie
lessons of history, the counses aud example
of the great masters of var. We are N no
position to try new ezpedjents now.

The Campaign i'm the West.

me memphis correspondent Inc rnlIs
adelphia Press gives encouraging pictures
of the condition of matters at the West:
THE MORTAR BOATS TO BE SENT TO FORTRESS
MONROE. :ae.. 49,
The Vicksburg enterprise seems to be
partially abandoned. Twelve of the sixs
teen mortar boats have been ordered to
report at Fortress Monroe. They are con.
voyed around by Captain Davis, who goes
in his flag ship. Thus our friends, the NOR.
tar boat men, will have an opportunity to
revisit the scenes of their youth.
THE PROP sED CANAL AT vICKsBURG.
The canal is progressing satisfactorily. 1t
is impossible to guess what is 60 ng to be
the precise result of the ditch. Some think
that it will require more head on the river
than it will have before the fall rains to
force through this new place channel sufs
ficiently large to carry a steamboat safely
through. Others say that in day after
the levee is cut the boats will be running
through. Of conrse, no one can tell what
bars or other obstacles will be formed
either in the new canal or where it empties
into the old one. Of course, some very
considerable disturbance may be expected.
1t seems to me hazardous sort of an ex-
pertinent. But if it succeeds it will be the
neatest venture of the whole war.
THE WEST sUBDUED.
Curtis march to Helena has proved that
there is no enemy in force west OF the river.
There is said to be large force at Vicks'
burg, but nobody really knows anything
about it. This "said 10 be" is about play.
ed out. Hindman was said to be after Cur.
tis, with gigantic army. The fact is, the
secessionists are fed upon hopes. They are
a species of chameleon, and live upon air.
The West lie, so far as actual warfare is
concerned, subdued. The rebel forces are
scattered all over the country. They will
not again concentrate unless it should be
determined again to shift the scene of the
war from the East to the West. We must
occupy the important posts. shoot off the
guerillas, keep sufficient force in the field
to protect property, and encourage the citi.
zens to re open and keep open the avenues
of trade. War is going to be the most val.
liable agency in reclaiming this people.
They are utterly destitute of many articles
which are absolutely indispensable. The
most important of those is salt. Salt is,
therefore, used as an engine of war.

The Causes Of Our Present Position

There is no blinking or Disgusting the
TACT the the country is in g-Ho .~- peru to-
day tbssat any time since the outbreak of
the war, After fifteen months OF fighting,
the Government, backed with 20 100000 of
true people and all the money it has asked
for, finds itself acting on the defensive, and
menaced with the danger of revolt by the
Border States and by that of foreign 10.
Prevention. The Albany Journal gives the
following version of the causes that have
produced this calamitous result ::
The rebellion, in its progress, but for the
frantic zeal of those who aided in preciplr
tating it, would have indicated the means
by which it could have been and should be
crushed. Slavery, by its madness, would
have brought about its own destruction.
But 10 anticipating and in attempting to
force "events," instead of awaiting their
development, the best hopes and highest
prospects of the Union have been thwarted.
The more than 6ncez06ary the scarcely lees
than internal spirit represented by MIR.
Sumner in the Senate, Wendell Phillips in
the forum, and the Iribmnes of the Press,
has united the Southern people and now
threatens to dtvide the North. The speech
es, lectures and fulminatioDs from these
sources have been used by secession lead
ers and journals to aggravate and intensity
Southern hostility. Instead of having, as
would long since have been developed, pow>
erful minorities of Union men in the insur.
gent States, we now see men, women and
children banded together against US, fight
ing, as they believe, for all that is halIowed
by domestic relations and social ties. The
real character of the rebellion, in the eyes of
its victims, has thus been changed. The
ambitious, wicked, fratricidal leaders-Da
Wis, SlidelI, Toombs, Mason, &c.-epjoy the
advantages of changed issue, 10 which
their great crime is merged.

Hon. Simon Cameron at the Russian
Court.

From the Harrisburg Telegraph.
From private letters received in this city
direct from st. Petersburg, we learn that
General Cameron, Minister to Russia, had
| arrived safely at the capital of the nation
where bis legation is established, and that he
also bad bis first interview with the Emper-
or Alexander. According to the rigid Ell.
quette of the Russian court, it is not usual
Tor the Emperor to grant an interview until
the lapse of some time after the arrival Of
minister, but 10 this case, an audience was
almost Immediately granted, and the recep>
ton made the more cordial by the earnest
soictude with which the Emperor inquired
concerning the condition of the American
people, their resources, numerical power, in-
1elligence, wealth and progress. During this
interview, the Russian Monarch evinced his
knowledge of our system of government,
and his admiration for the success we had
made 10 the development of the vast extent
OF territory now within the jurisdiction of
the Federal authority. That authority, in
the opinion of the Emperor, should be MAIN
tanned at all hazards. If the Great Repub.
lie OF the west was broken down, and ceased
to WELD an influence, the course of empire
obO vi SiNiIEaItOu WOutO CUdDgGQ, ana
continent destined by God for the happy
home of millions OF free, intelligent people,
would be given to infdelity and barbarism,
ruin and desolation.
After such expressions to the American
Minister, there can be no mistaking the cor.
dial feeling and hearty sympathy of the
Emperor of Russia, nor can there be any
misapprehension concerning the deep inter-
est he mapifests in the success and destiny
of the United States. This feeling was
reciprocated by General Cameron, who had
the most fattering assurances to offer that
the interest Of the American people was no
less sincere in their solicitude for the sue
cess and mighty progress of the colossal
empire of the North. Representing such
widely different systems, and governed by
authority so distinct aud broad, there is
still no reason why Russia and the United
States should not be united in true and
stern alliance, and WELD an irresistible in.
fUence on the destinies of the world. ~-

Long Range Guns,
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
Among the guns ordered for the army last
season were a number--twenCy TOUR, We
believe--of rifed twelve pouUdcrs. Though
nominally OF but twelve pound caiOrt--
about four and a rail- inches hore--th werr
calculated to throw an ongated pr"jsct i.
of more than twice that weight The gum
were of very handsome model, and uuusuAl,
long, being of fifteen inches exterior diam
eter at the breach, and ten feet length OF
bore. Owing to their unusual length they
were peculiarly we'll adapted to aCcura t
firing, while they we're sufficiently light TO
be readily haudled--weighng but 300
pounds. The guns were cast at the Fort
Pitt Works, but were turned a. Other estab

as Rodman guns, though upon what author
ity we do not know, since they are not casr
with the Circulating water core" which
is the distinguishing feature of his models.
These guns seem to have been of consider
able use in the army, or at least to have
given general satisfaction, since another lot
OF fifty pieces has been ordered and the
Fort Pitt Works have already commenced
casting them. These guns will probably al
no distant day superesde air the heavy Geld
ordnance now in use by the Government,
since their accuracy OF FIRE and leagth OF
range are 80 far superior. w.

The Old Guard at WaterIoo-Neyy Evil
dence.

Mr.. Charles Deulin, in the Esprit Public
Of Paris, publishes the following interesting
story concerning the Old Guard at Water
loo, drawn out by Victor Hugos account
of Cambronne in the second part of Les
Mi8erabIes:
Few men had the good fortune of being
survivors of the last square OF Waterloo,
and it has been doubted whether one re-
mains. know one his name is Antoine
Delean, and be inhabts the village of Vicq,
10 the canton of Condo, in the 0rrondisSe-
ment of VaIenciennes (Nord.) He is an in.
telligent and Industrious farmer, who has
been moajre Of his commune, and is without
decoration.
Al the epoch of the battle of Waterloo
be was aged from twenty three to twenty
four years, for it must be remembered that
the Emperor after his return from the Isle
of EIba, had filed up the ranks of the Old
Guard with the soldiers of the Young, so
that the grogaa0TClS of twenty four years
were to be found among the brave men who
refused to survive the last defeat.
Antoine De!ean counts but few years Of
service, but they bave been we'll filed and
there are few soldiers whose lot it was TO see
SO nearly and in so little time such great
things.
He was at thirty PAGES from Poniatowski
when that unfortunate prince disappeared in
the Elster, eXcIaimIng, God confded to me
the honor OF the Poles: will only give it
up to God" He was at five PAGES from
'ieneral Petit when Napo con, on leaving
for the Isle Of Eiba, made his adieur to bis
Guards; finally, be was at ten PAGES from
Cambronne, when be pronounced the sub
lime phrase which it is pretended be did not
pronounce.
Now this is what Antoine Deeau has re-
lated TO me many times d" was in the first
raDk-an advantage which l owed to nv
being tall. The English artillery was tbun.
deriDg upon US, and we replied to each dis.
charge by fuSjllade which was kept up
with diminishing voIleys.
Between two discharges the English
| general cried out to US, Grenadiers, sarren-
der!' The General Cambronne replied.
and heard him perfectly well, La garde
meurt ct ne Sc Tead pas 'Fire! cried the
British General.
ave repaired the square, and we replied
WIN our muSkGts. 0F6UduleFS, SURRENDER
you shall be treated like the first soldiers Of
the world the English General began
again with sorrowfu voice. La garde
moeurt ct ne Sc re'ad pas replied Cambron-
ne; and along the whole line the officers
and the soldiers repeated, La gorde meurt
ct ne Sc rend pas did like the rest.
A fresh voley then was poured upon
us and we replied as we'll as we could
Surrender, Gre0sders, surrender 7 cried
the mass of English who surrounded US on
all sides. Then it was that Camhronne, mad
with impatience and anger, let fly the oath
you have heard of. 1t was the last word
that heard, for received a shot in my
cOIbGck which stretched me senseess on q
heap OF dead bodies.

cital spoils somewhat the superb description

disgustingly coarse and profane in
speech. The gentleman remarked TO the
proprietor Of the hotel the singularity Of
Floyd's associations, and wondered that
so important parsonage should not at
tract better class.
"The reason is, Sir" replied the land
lord, chat Floyd is known mere. He
lived in Lynehburg a number of years,
and greater scoundrel never escaped
the peniten,iary, where he ought to have
been long ago. There are hundreds of
men in the Richmond prison who are
honest compared with Floyd. EVERYBODY
despises him in this city and county.
He never had transaction with any one,
whom he did not cheat or attempt to
cheat
"He is an infamous liar and villain,
and never was anything else. Tie could
not obtain credit for five dollars unless
he would leave his watch as a pledge /:
and if he did that, / would believe the
watch stolen. he has swindled hum
dreds Of people in this town, and he will
do more injury TO our cause-I am a
strong advocate of Southern Rights
than a dozen of our best men will do il
good. Confound him, hope the Yam
KEGS will catch him and hang him; for
he deserves it,"
On further inquiry, the Memphis mer-
chant learned that the opinion the hotel
proprietor had expressed of Floyd was
general, and that he was as much de-
spised as pickpocket or a thimble-rig-
ger. Floyd himselflooked quite venera :
BILE, but appeared carewOrn and prems-
turely old, with stOop in his shoulders
Gas If he had been trying to carry a small
portion Of what he had stolen on his
back and a very unprepOssessing man
ner He was generally quiet in manner
and reticent; cOrrOborating the idea that
gceat scoundrels are usually silent, for
fear ofexpOsing their principles or mis-
deeds. ..#i
