Engllsh EstImate of our soldiers

The Manchester Examiner and Times,
one of the few English newspapers that
has treated our cause with candor since
the war commenced, says: -
"There is no longer any occasion for
the regretful shame that Americans in
this country felt when it was announced
that the valorous deeds displayed in the
defense and capture of Fort Sumter, in
Guiding a whole days furious cannon
aiding, cost neither side single life.
That reproach is wiped out. The Ameri-
cans know at least how to fight What
ever faults may be found with their gen.
eralship, il must be admitted that no
troops ever fought better. At Fort DON
elson and Pittsburg Landing, in the
battles before Richmond, and in the con-
test which happened by the dozen in the
valley of the Shenandoah, both North
and South, have shown pluck and con-
stancy which attest their descent from
the most martial races of the old world.
Considering that the bulk of the troops
which Mcclellan handled before Rich
mond, were soldiers of only twelve
months standing, and had never drawn a
sword in actual combat until they met the
couiederates at Yorktown, it is marvel
lous how they allowed themselves to be
brought up, day after day, to fresh en-
counters, and preserved their discipline
amid the disasters incident to difficult
and discouraging retreat If the Ameri-
cans have any desire at all to be ranked
among the bravest nations in the world
then their desire is already grati6ed, and
if the sword were sheathed tomorrow
they would have done enough to estab
ish their military fame"

the following:
A young minister went out to preach;
and observed during his discourse, lady
who seemed to be much affected After
meeting, he concluded to pay her visit,
and see, what were the impressions of her
mind. He approached her thus; "Well,
madam, what were you so affected about
during preaching today" Lab me, >
said the lady, "Tll tell you. About six
years ago me and my husband moved to
this place, and all the property we had
was jackass. Husband he died, and
me and the beast were left all alone At
last the beast died; and to tell the truth,
your voice put me so much. in mind of

E6-A well known planter, living not
far from New Orleans, wrote last spring
that four of the slaves, who had run away
to the Yankees, had returned. They
had enough of liberty, and were glad to
come back. But in his next letter to the
North he told different tale. The four
had run away again, and had taken with
them two hundred more slaves.
