The Herald Of the llsh gives the following loud blast
in its editorial columns:
We publish in another column \ remarkable article
from the London Times which forchly EXPRESSES the
astenishment of Europe at the wonderful spectacle nov
presented to the world by the people Of the United
States Il is astonished at the immense army We have
organized in a very brief time. and at the vast re
sources we have raised sustain and put IL in the field
"The number of men," says the Times, "actuay main
tanned In arms for upwards Of year is something in
credible" The scale Of the operations, the rapidy with
which marches made, and the quick succession OF
battles stsrtle the European imagination. War bulle-
tine as astounding important and as eloquent as
Napclson's, follow each other with CELEBRITY that
electries the nations 1.-THE whole story" says
our contemporary, sis Q mystery well as marvel
IL is almost as hard TO believe what has occurred
to imagine what will ultimately happen" When
cur army Of volunteers continued long inactive
a. Washington, and IN the camps Of instruction
throrgho the Northern States, Europe was amazed
that il could be held together long without employ
msnt. But the who composed It were not mere
machines Ike the armies of Europe they felt the neces
sity Of due preparation and they patiently submitted TO
the drulgery OF drill and discipline. Equally perpltxed
sEurope at the tremendous energy and activity CT
these same troops when put into motion. But above
all our nanciAl resources and national credit ssound
the commercial mind of England. Il sees our State
stocks in the midst Of civil war the most formidable
in the annals Of mankind, standing fire above par, whl
the sRhtest Disturbance in Europe briggs down Engsh
conso and French rentes With an alarming rapidly Of
descsnt The cost OF war that would DO milestone
around the neck of any European Power, to drag it
down to the depths OF perdon, has no perceptbe In
uerc, upon the finances general prosperity of the
American people. This is something the great organs
OF opinion in Europe cannot comprehend
But the eject OF these national phenomena upon the
minds Of the great European Powers ia obvious. How
it has operated upon Eugand France and Spain, the in
tercsp;ed letter Of Judge Ros publ shed in the Herald
of Monday fully explains The conclusion at which the
Cor fderSe Commissioner arrived was that Spain would
not act separately from England aud France, and that
lowing to the enormous preparations made by the
North 10 suSugats the ConedeTscy, be believed that
nothing is now 20 be expected from any OF them until
the Northern government Is ready TO treat with tbs
South as an independent Power" Why do the Euro
pean Powers shrink from nteryendony II is because Of
our enormous preparations" and the boundes5
sources we have 10 back them While the scanty re-
sources Of the nations OF Europe dried up, those Of
the American people are still fresh and imable; while
the soil Of Europe is worn out, that OF the American
continent is still virgin and mex baustble Every device
has been resorted in Europe to keep body and soul
together and human ingenuity has become exhausted IN
these experiments Disiuuon still sares in the face
vast masses Of the people Here on the contrary every
thing ia new and there is eml scope for the enter
prise Of men OF all nations. No need be without
bread Such is the bouAdess wealth contained in
V s. domain that war far from eIhaustirg IT, only de-
vslopes and brings to lsbt its unfathomed mines.
The government of the United States is recogpiz
I'D on all HANDS as the controlling Power OF the world
Our republic IL the envy as well as the admiration Of
fu rounding ustions Secure in s nvlncibe srength,
IL can bid 4, lnce 70 all the powers OF Europe should
they rAshy attempt Intervention in our domestic
troubles But they already understand the temper OF
the American people they know the tremendous
resources We can command, aud they will take
good care to avoid collision by any unpFovoked az
fressons upoa the rights aud dignity of this republic
In the beginning of the they mistook patience and
luie, preparation for want of energy and spirit They
we're then strongly disposed to NEEDLE IN our family
aua-rp bu: they rave since fuld out their dangerous
mistAka. They plainly see that we prepared and
determined to maintain the unity and integrity OF the
republic in the face Of all intruders against any conb
nation Of oregl ioes well against the desperate
s,rugRel Of the domestic enemy. Hence they
graulate themselves that their ucpisnt hostility did
not rpen into irrevokaoe deeds, and that they stl
maintain relations Of amity If not thorough "entente
cosdilen with the government of the United S;aes,
Westward still the Of empire takes lis way, and the
wise man OF the EAs, worship and wonder from aiar.
