management. and are sustaining him with
all the oowtrs OF the government. 1t is 20
longer doubtful that radical change of
tactics has taken place, and that absolute
unity and unsparing vigor in the prosecu

A Thrilling Scene.

The Springfield Republican, in its &C.
counts of war meetings in the western part
of Massachusetts, describes the following
interesting and touching scope:
One of the most touching, tender and
overlooking war meetings of all this region
was held last Monday evening in West
Springfield, at the First Congregational
church. The people over there are feeling
deeply, for about forty of their sons, broth
ers, fathers, and husbands belong to the
glorious 10th and 9th Massachusetts regi-
ments, while others are serving their coun
try among companies from New York and
Connecticut. AS previously announced
Rev. Roswell Foster, of Chicopee Falls
made the principal speech, exhortipg, by
historical illusions, the ladies in higher
patriotism in giving up their husbands
brothers and sons.
Alter him came words of weight and
power from the clergy OF the place. All did
well, but the GROWING glory OF the occasion
was the simple, natural eloquence OF four
heroic young men, all heads of families and
fathers of children-men of strength, stamina
and inhuence-who backed their advice by
that most conclusive of all arguments, con-
sistent action. Publicly they subscribed
the enlistment roll, and publicly pledged
their lives, fortunes and sacred honor"
The first man to enlist that evening was a
householder and practical farmer, one of the
selectmen of the town, and church member
OF twenty-three years. standing He spoke
feelingly and pointedy, and in allusion to
his official honors, his church connections,
bis family ties, his love of home, and the loss
of darling child, he swayed the auditory
as the storm cloud does the forest. Almost
every eye was saffased with tears, and every
heart stirred to its inmost depths.
The spectacle was as thrilling and sub.
lime as unexpected. TIE next day the quota
of twenty-six was nearly filled, and yester-
day morning this brave, patriotic band left
home amid the blessings and prayers OF
friends, for camp at Worcester. Nearly all
are men of family, some of wealth and farms.
They will be missed at home, in the commu.
nifty, in the church and Sabbath school.
They are mostly sterling men, loyal every
inch, true as steel, anc sure to make their
mark on the foe. 1t will be rare honor
and privilege to serve in such company
and with such men, for rarely have men
made greater sacrifices of social ties, comfort
and property. Rarely have men gone to
the defence Of their country, in it's darkest
hour of peril, sundering so many chords of
affection. We shall watch the movements
OF these volunteers with interest, for some oil
them are the best of missionaries. They
will have an influence abroad as they have
had at home. God bless these noble men,
and cover their heads 10 the day of battle.

Shakespeare ON tho Military Situation.
From the National Intelligencer.

From the National Intellgencer.
Is there any conceivable situation of hu.
man affairs, whether belonging to public or
private life, which Shakespeare has not de.
scribed? How apt to our own times, and
to the recent debatings in Congress and the
press, is the following extract from the first
scene in the first act Of the first part of bis
king Henry vi: :"
MESSENGER. My honorable lords, health to
you all!
Sad tidings bring to you out of France,
IF loss, of slaughter. and discomfeiture:
Guienne, Champaigne, Rheims, Orleans,
Paris. Gnysors, POietiers are all quite lost.
UUkE OF BEDFoRD-What sayst thou, man,
before dead Henry's corse?
Speak softly; or the loss of those great towns
Will make him burst his lead, and rise from
death.
DUKE OF GLosrER-Is Paris lost? Is Rouen
yielded up?
If Henry were recalled to life again,
These news would cause him once more yield
the ghost.
DUKE OF EYETER, How were they lost !?
What treachery was used!
MEssENGER.-No treachery; but want of
msn and money.
Among the soldiers this is muttered, -
That here you maintain several factions;
And, whilst a fight should be dispatched and
fought,
You are dIsputiDg of your generals.
One would have. ling'rn wars, with little
cost;
Another would fly swift but wanteth wings
A third man thinks, without expense at all.
BY guiletul fair words peace may be obtained.
Awake, awake, English nobility
Let not Sloth dim your hOnOrS, new begOt:
Cropp'd are the flower.de luces in your arms !;
Of EDglauds coat. one half is cut away.

How Northern Soldiers endure a Hot
Climate.

Colonel Hawley, of the Connecticut 7th
regiment, who has come bomt from South
Carolina on short furlough, writes thus:
Much was said about the unhealthy eli.
mate before we went South. 1t is not one
quarter as dangerous as we feared. We

always been where we could battle daily 10

habits, that is really one of the hrathlesl
departments. The regiment is now for the
inst time since it went South enjoying lei
sure for rest and drill, and unless something
unforeseen occurs, will so continue for some
tine.
The Hartford Press adds:
There are two New York regiments 10

which, up to the middle of June 1.-THE last

passed himself off as clergyman of the
Baptist church in Galveston and obtained
money from several congregations to help
him on his way. The same man has recent

the unprecedented career in that country oil
| a young American, of this State, who
| though but twenty nine years of age, has
reached a position which reminds one oil

brief recOuntal of the story of adventure
About twelve years ago Edward Fores
ter, country lad, born in Jefferson county
10 this State, decided, like great many
other boys, to 60 to sea. His friends op-
posed the idea, but of course, the love oil
ocean life was too strong to be resisted, and
young Forester joined those who {" 60 down
to the sea in ships" He was successful,
and soon became the mate of a whaling ship,
though then scarcely beyond his majority.
In Honolulu Forester made the acauaint-
ance of merchant of Hakodadi, and went
with him to Japan. Here be remained two
or three years engaged in commercial pnr
suits. Thence he went to China, where be
was taken into the Imperial service. He
became popular both with the foreigners
and native authorities at Shanghai, and was
finally made second in command to General
Ward, in place of Colonel Murgven, who
was severely wounded in some recent enu
gagement.
In this capacity the quondam sailor cons
tinued to be much liked, and now enjoys the
confidence of all the Mandarins in the pro
vince, and is admitted to their confidence, as
we'll as the highest and most exclusive Chi
nese society.
At one time Forester led band OF two
hundred men against the Rebels, only nine
! of them returning, the rest having been all
killed. He has now twenty thousand troops
under bis command.
For bic services he has been made Man

him to keep at least twelve servants The
latest letters received from him ito May lst)

Soungkaing and that he sleeps tn the
