over the field in the West, they know that
they will. Our boys hereaway do not ar
1ogate to themselves any superiority over
the army in the East; but they do boast Of
commanders who will let then, loose when
not restrained by superior authority at
Washington. And Wilson'S Greek, Bel
mont, Fredericton, Fort Donelson, Shiloh,
Iuka and Corinth, show what they, when
loose, can do. The soldiers of the East
are not Of inferior clay. They demon
stratcd their valor at Balls Bluff,
Roanoke Island, On the ChictahoalinY,
the Shenandoah and the Rappahannock.
They are loyal and brave; and nothing
but commander who is equal to the emer-
gcucE is needed to insure succession Of
victories which will make the heart Of every
true man glad. We entreat the President
to heed the voice Of the people, and COM

WEST POINTERS IN TIE TWO ARMIES.
From list before us Of the West Point
graduates, who are officers In the armies Of
the United States and Confederate States, it
appears that there are in the United States
army seventeen major generals and twenty
four bEjsadier generals; IN the Confederate
States army five generals (beside A. 3. John
eop, killed at Sniloh), eighteen major gen.
erals, forty y-one rgadler generals. From this
list, which ends with 164S, it appeafs that we
have sixty -four generals from West Point in
our army, while the United States have but
forty one. It vas no idle or unmeaning boast
Of President Davis that he had PICK aud
choice of the officers OF the old army. Not
withstandipg the frequent hings at West
Pointers, we may yet find it a cause OF con-
graduation that We had at ths head Of our
9oyer1 ment one who was educated at West
Point himself, but who, by his service in the
amy and in the WAT department Was SO thor
ougnly acquainted with military talent OF all
the Uti1ed States o1icers.--noIilc Eveuing

perate battle ensued which lasted about six |
hours, resulting in a most glorious victory to |
our arms, and the total defeat and rout Of the |

Napoleon on the Roman Question.
It is we'll known that the emperor has been
engaged for some month past In an effort to
reconcile the differences between the Holy
See and reyolted Italy. In the month Of May
last the emperor wrote letter to the mfnister
Of foreign affairs upon the subject, which has
lust been published. We make the following
extracts, which will develop the animus Of
the letter:
+ + 4 Since have been at the head
Of the government Of France my policy his
elxays been the same toward Italy; to second
national aspirations; to induce the pope to
become their support rather than their ,;r sdves
between religion and liberty.
Since the year 1919, when the expedition to
Rome Was decided upon, all my letters, all my
speeches, all the dispatches Of my ministers
have inya1isbly manifested that tendency, and.
according to circumstances, l have maintained
it With deep conviction, either at the head Of
| limited power, as president Of the republic,
| OF At the he I'D Of n victorious army on the
| banks Of the Mincio. Ny efforts, must own
it, have hithtrto been thwarted By obstacles
of every description, In the presence OF two
parties diametrically opposed, absolute in
deaf to the counsels inspired By the
sole desire Of their benefit l.
| this . reason not to perseVere, aud
| to abandon q cause grand IN the opinion
| OF all men and which must be beneficial to
| the welfare OF mankind? It is urgent that
tie Roman question shoutd be settled, for it
il rot only in Italy that it disturb5 public
opinion; everywhere it produces the same
mo,M disorder, because 1t touches upon what
l. most dear to mAn-relgious sud political
fifth. Each party substitutes ito own exclu-
sive sentiments in the place Of the zeal prin-
c3ples Of equity and justice. Thus, one party,
forgetting the recognized rights Of PD*et
which his lasted for ten centuries, proelatn*,
without any consideration for 90 ancient ~
acknowledged institution, the fall Of the pa
paey; another PARTY, without regard Tor the
| fteittmate claims Of tho night OF people, coz
dsups without = scruple portion OF Italy t1

It vs. defouct, aod the other Of people ths'

ever this may be, it is the duty Of statesmen
to study the means for reconc:1iag two csuse'
which the play Of passion alone has rendere'
