OUR HOME CORRESPONDENCE,
WEsT PouLrsEY, April Z, 1862,

WEST PouLTsEY, April 7, 1862
DEAR HERALD - Doubtless your read
ers are we'll informed as to general news,
so we will not attempt to repeat as old Mr.
Plunkett used to say ado tings what every
body knows" We are generally trying to
keep the even tenor OF our way here, in spite
OF mud and war. The ladies, for aught see,
promenade the streets and dress as we'll as
they ever did. The men keep good natured
even when the collector comes around on his
circuit of tax gathering. They " draw their
weezel and fork over" happy to contribute
to the support of our threatened government
We respond to such calls willingly, but some
times the interrogation is anxiously put why
does not General Mcclellan do something -?
he is spending life and treasure, and why
does he not do something ?" That such anX-
iety is felt on the part of the community gen.
orally is not strange, for many families are
represented in the great conflict now raging,
They feel that the quicker the war is over
the less will be the expenditure of life and
treasure, and the sooner they will welcome
back those loved ones Wives have sent
forth their husbands mothers their sons,
maidens their lovers, and they wait anxiously
their return. We feel no small degree of
interest for those brethren they have enter.
ed manfully the great struggle, and we doubt
not they will acquit themselves like mem
We hoped when we saw them pass on to the
field of carnage that they might soon have
an opportunity to add lustre to the already
glorious page emblazoned by the noble deeds
of daring and lofty patriotism of their sires
The opportunity has been withholden from
them as yet, but we gather from passinl
events that the hour is fast approaching wheI
they shall be brought " face to face with tn
enemies of their country" That they vii
distinguish themselves we cannot doubt.
We do not lay claim to larger degree o
perception than other communities, but W.
discover that the cloud which but few month
since was not larger than mans hand, il
now great, as we think, with mercies> 1t
rolling up the silent vaults of the sky, gath
ering blackness and momentum with tn
weight of storm. We do not want the blood
curtain of war flung aside, though we pra
and long for peace, until peace purer tina
we have ever known, and a spirit of libert
more deeply rooted than the world has eve
dreamed of, have been secured to us an
coming generations. B.

GLENwooD LADIES SEMINARY is meet

with the Seminary are engaged for the next
term, and the enterprising Principal has
leased the dwelling house of Elbridge Gerry,
adjacent to the Seminary grounds, for add

number of pupils. 1t is pleasant to be able

HE MANAssAs.-'Carlton,' of the Bos-
journal, writing from Cairo, March Goth,
gives the following description of Hollin's
rebel craft, the Manassas
/ ana not aware that any accurate de-
scription has been given of Commodore
Hollins' ram Manassas, but as it is posi-
BILE that Commodore Foote may come in
contact with the nondescript, description
will not be out of place.
If you split an egg in halves through
its longest diameter, and lay the flat sur
face of one of the halves upon a table,
you will have a miniature representation
of the general outlines and external APP
pearance. 1t is about one hundred feet
long, twenty broad, and draws twelve
feet OF water. Her sides are of oak pla
ted with railroad iron one inch and half
in thickness. She has two telescope
chimnies. The pilot house is a round
pimple on the back of the turtle, and is
impervious to shot. 1t has one heavy
gun 6S-pounder in front. The port opens
automatically when the gun is run out,
and closes also automatically with the re-
coil. The crew enter by trap-door in
one side. The prov is of iron and pro-
jects like the nose of a sword-fish. The
motive power is a propeller. 1t is not
formidable as a ram from the weakness
of the engines The Manassas is weaker
even than the Benton. A well directed
shot below the water line amidship would
let the water around her boilers. Either
ofour gunboats will most probably prove
a match for this much boasted ram. More
is to be feared from the new gunboats
said to be nearly completed.

EMANCIPATION AS THE LAST RE-
SORT.

The New-York Tribune has an article lau-
datory of President Lincoln, especially as re-
spectS the present conduct of the war. The
closing paragraph is worthy of particular
note, coming, as it does, from an editor of
decided radical tendencies, We quote it :
"And now for the future For three months
the Southern climate is favorable to our active
exertions, and stirring months these will be-
All that Government actively can devise
and military energy execute, will be crowded
into this period of time. The most tremen-
dous efforts will be made to crush out re-
bellion and to hold the Southern States in
stern subjections to the laws above US. But
if our exsrtions fail, and sultry summer finds
the task undone, then shall we expect to see
the long-planned schemes of the President
put INTO active operation. He will take up
emancipation as weapon of last resort, and
with it carry on the war by negro aid, in
climates and positions more favorable to them
than to us.-Heretofore, they have been
idlers in cur camps; then, they will be called
upon Tor work, and in both summer and win
ter the good cause will advance, growing
more and more desperate as it approaches its
final end. And we may feel assured that
the President is calmly planning its approach,
undisturbed by the colossal magnitude Of
national interests which will be involved if its
death struggle prove desperate.-Not from
choice, but from necessity, President Lincoln
may be the man who is to end the whole system
of American slavery"

OUR ARMY OFFICERs-It is general
impression, at least in foreign countries, that
the rebel army is the better differed of the
two, and that it includes the majority of the
educated military men of the country 1t
was recent remark of the North British
Review, that the chief proportion of those
who have received professional training at
West Point belonged to or have Joined the
South. The Daily Advertiser shows the I'M
truth of these assertions by an examination
of the army lists for 1861 and 1S62-the
former year showing the list as it stood be-
fore the designations and dismissals. The
result is as follows:
"Of all the officers in the army in Janu-
uary, 1861, of the rank of major and up
ward, and able to do duty, eighty-six in
number, one has been dshonorably dis
charged, two are in private life, for four we
cannot now account, seventeen are in the
rebel service, and sixty-two or almost ex-
actly three.fourths are now in the army of
the United States. We have not undertaken
the inquiry as to the company officers of the
army, but know of no reason for suppoSing
that the average among them differed from
the general result among the field officers.
We may add to this that of the eleven gen.
eral officers now commanding the army, ten
are graduates Of West Point or officers long
in service in the old army"
The above relates to the regular army
To officer the volunteers, fifty one officers
from the regular army have been detached
as general officers of volunteers, and forty
nine as colonies. OF the 1I2 generals OF
volunteers on the army list of 1862, seventy
five are graduates of West Point.
