THE TRIUMPHS OF MILITARY
GENIUS-BLOODLESS
.r VICTORIES.

Ii is the characteristic of ignoble and
ungentle minds to be fond of battles for
their bloodshed. With some the idea of
danger and adventure is the leading tho't;
10 escape where thousands fall gives ag-
grandizement which makes the survivor
wonder in his circle. With many war
is only desperate game, and needs very
great losses to make it exciting and inter-
esting. Others like hard bought sue
cess, and soon learn to like blood as asso-
ciated with it. An undying romance at
taches itself to the displays of desperate
valor-the hair-breadth escapes in the
imminent deadly BREACH and the conse-
Grated deaths of the martyrs OF liberty
Thus war has thousand charms, which
in the public mind, are closely united
with shedding of blood. And when, like
Macbeth, men have supped full of hor-
rors, they are difficult to satisfy with less
exciting food. One hundred killed and
wounded to-day sharpen the appetite so
that it requires five hundred in the next
battle.
But the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. name and
seldom deserved-who longs for the time
when all human misery shall cease--who
fondly dreams of a day the dawn of which
cannot be yet descriea-
when peace on earth shall hold her easy sway
And man forget his brother man to STAY"
cannot share in this red-mouthed thirst.
When wicked and unprovoked rebel
lion, like, that with which we are now
dealing, demands punishment and de-
Struction, he feels that justice claims war,
however bloody, as her dread arbiter -
but even then the lover of his country and
his kind halls a great success, without
bloodshed, as the greatest of glories. In
stead of thinking, with the thoughtless,
that battle is tame aud lacks spirit be-
cause few are hurt, he shudders at every
| bright life extinguished, and sincerely
wishes that the great, necessary and glo-
rious work could be achieved and con-
summated without the loss of human life,
and he signs to think that this cannot be.
Such are our thoughts as we recur to
the evacuation of Yorktown, and the
flight of the rebels before the superior
strategy and scientific approaches of Gen
Mcclellan.
They must be dissipated, scattered and
destroyed-if they stand again they must
be cut to pieces. But should they sur
render and succumb without a field O
slaughter, how much more glorious still

PREPARED FOR DIsAsTER.-The cor
respondendent of the World, with the ar
my of General Halleck before Corinth,
says -
That we may be prepared for any I'M
toward occurrence, such as a stampede, a
reverse, or an attempt on the part of the
rebels to pierce our lines, our men have
been engaged busily yesterday and to-
day in erecting strong line of breast
works, formed of timber and branches
covered with dirt which are again mask
ed so as to conceal them from the view of
the enemy. The most commanding posi-
tons have been seized, the first lines
about s miles from Corinth. With clear
ed space in front, and guns placed in
commanding positions, the enemy cannot
approach our lines without being subject
ed to murderous fire."

A RAILROAD 'MoNIToR.'-A Rail-
road Monitor understood to have been
designed by Gen. Burnside, is in process
of construction at Newbern. Carpenters
are preparing huge framework to be
placed over locomotive engine, and to
be covered with railroad iron from the
top to the track. The car is to be made
capable of carrying two guns, one at eth
er end, and will be used on the railroad
which runs from Newbern to Beaufort,
and on the railroad from Newbern to
Bachelors creek, in the direction of
Kingston and Goldsboro. The bridges
over the Trent river near Beaufort. and
over Bachelors creek, which were burn
ed by the retreating rebels, are nearly
finished again-and the new Monitor, it
is believed, will do excellent service in
guarding the country through which he
railroads pass.

ANOTHER LESSON FOR JOHN Bull
Before Great Britain has recovered from
the excitement produced by the Monito-
rial lesson, Brother Jonathan has furnish
ed him with another, which will create
scarcely less sensation in the naval opera
tons at New Orleans. The st. John IN.
b. Freeman concludes an article upon
the civil war in America, with the SUBJ
joined paragraph -
''The battle of the Monitor and Merri-
mac was startling lesson to Europe
The capture of New Orleans is lesson
not less important and alarming. If on
the Mississippi few vessels bound in
iron chains and enveloped in trusses of
wet hay, run past strong batteries in safe
ty, and then reduce large city to sub
mission with threats of bombardment,
what is the safety of St. Petersburg or of
London what the value of Cronstadt,
Chatham, Woolwich, Cherbourg, Toulon,
or the batteries on the Dardanelles p
This American war is indeed in many
senses a revolutionary war;"

FOREIGN INrERvENTIoN.-Mr. Bowles
of the Springfield Republican, now in
England, writes as follows to his paper
"The reaction of some weeks ago in po-
litical and popular circles in Europe to-
wards the federal interests in the Ameri-
can struggle seems to have died out, and
to be succeeded by movement in the
other direction. Indeed, one of the best
informed of our representatives abroad
told me to-day that he considered the
temper of Europe towards America just
now to be more menacing than ever. 1t
is difficult to explain the fact, if to that
extent it may be regarded as fact. The
great cause is, perhaps, that the leading
nations are feeling more heavily than ever
the loss of our markets and the absence
of our cotton. In making up their COM
mercial statistics to the LIST of April they
find serious losses which they can attrib-
ute to no other source. The stock of cot
ton on hand in Liverpool is from one
third to one-quarter the ordinary amount
and the distress among the people of Lam
cashire, because of the stoppage of the
cotton mills has become SO very great and
pressing that contributions have been cal
led for in London and other parts of the
kingdom to keep them from starvation
Naturally, and on political grounds, of
course, the governments of Europe are
against us. Our failure is their triumph
and defense. Our success is a standing
menace. But it is difficult to see what
they can do about it now

STATE OF GIN. McCLELLAN's ARMY.
"A Washington correspondent of the New

A gentleman of much observation and ex-
perience, who has just returned from the pc
ninsula, and has had an opportunity to OBJ
serve minutely the condition of Gen. McClel-
lan's army and his preparations, reports tina t
no anxiety need be entertained about his
success. The army is in splendid condition,
the preparations for the forward movement
are complete in every detail, and the occu-
patton of Richmond in few days, by Gen.
Mcclellan, whatever obstacles the rebels may
ofer-may be regarded as beyond shadow
of doubt.

LOCAL MATTERS.

~ we yesterday had the pressure VI
an interview with Mr., f. Childs, land
scape painter, formerly of Princeton
College, New Jersey, who has come
among us for the purpose of sketching
some of the scenery in our vicinity. Mr.
Childs has been connected professionally
with Princeton College for several years,
and brings the most Aattering testimonials
and recommendations from the Profess
ors and President of that institution, both
as to his genius and skill as an artist
and his personal worth, 1t is his inten-
ton, we believe, TO remain in this vicinity
during the entire summer, making it his
stopping place" at the residence of Mr..
Morgan in West Rutland. If a sufficient
number of subscribers can be obtained
for the work, he proposes to get up
photographic view of the village of Rut-
land, the price of which will be so low as
to place the work within the reach of al
most every one, Mr.. G. gives instruc-
ton in landscape painting in oil, linear
perspective, pencil drawing, &c; and that
he is fully competent to do so, any one
will be convinced on looking over the
beautiful specimens of his work which
he has with him, to say nothing of the
recommendations he has from the press
and distinguished individuals.
We are glad to know that Mr.. Childs
has already an order from Mr.. Morgan
of West Rutland, for one of his best oil
paintings.
We wish him abundant success, believ-
ing as we do that he is worthy of it.
WWe de not say that winter is lingering
in the lap of spring, but we do know that
snow'drifts still linger on some of our noun
tains. Over in the vicinity of Ball Noun
tain there are several such, some of which,
on viewing them through good spy-glass, y
have the appearance of being several feet
deep. When the Ball Mountain fence engi-
neers commence their operations "over
there " we hope they will go little out Of
their way to measure some of these-banks
and report the result 10 the nearest newspa.
per-
V We are informed that it is beeom-
ing quite common to hang clothes out to
dry in the park in front of the court house.
We have never seen any such thing there,
and we don't wunt to, for we don't believe
it wonld look well. A year or two since
somebody made corn field of one of the
parks short distance south of this one.
We hope this, the largest and finest park
in the village, will not be turned into a
clothes-yard.
