Bayonet Charges.

Hundreds Of times within the last six
months, we have heard Englishmen (wbo
ought TO have been better informed through
The experience Of their fathers) assert that
our soldiers never would stand bayonet
charges, and hold their ground like Euro
pean soldiers in hand-to.hand fight, If
any reasonable doubt existed on the subject
The events ut Fort DonelsOn and at the bat.
tie of Pittsbnrg Landing, are sufficient
answer to all such caviling critcs.-TS. F.
Herald.
We respectfully submit that thus far in
the war, the soldiers on neither side have
stood bayonet chargef At Somerset the
Federals charged, but the Confederates did
not stand-they ran away from it aud the
field was won. At Fort Donelson charge
was made by The Federals, but the Confed.
crates bent quickly before 1t. sought shelter
deeper in their entrencbments, and aban.
doned a commanding position. At Pitts
burg Landing the battle was decided by
bayonet charge of five Federal regiments,
but, as before, the enemy did not staud It.
but ran away so fast as legs could carry
them. So far, then, as this war has pro-
gressed, there Is no evidence that the SOL
ders on either side will stand q bayOnet
charge. The CUnfederates have made no
such charges, and when the Federals make
them, the other side runs This is history
In fact there are but few troops anywhere
there have been but few in any country
or age that have wihstood bayonet
charge. In the first place such charge Is
never made save as a last desperate resort
or 10 decide at once the fate of a wavering
field and in the second, when made, il de.
cides matters almost on the instant. For
though veteran troops who have been
through hundred fields. may rush upon
each other and cross bayonets 10 charge
of this kind, yet one side or the other has
always given way and fed within very,
very short time.
In this war there has been no stand made
against bayonet charge; yet we do not
doubt that before it be over, the charges of
this character will be withstood as well and
better than they have ever been in Europe
by soldiers of equal age. 1t cannot be ex.
pected that our soldiers can stand up to the
bayonet charge like veterans--it takes time,
experience, discipline, to educate men up TO
this highest Of all soldierly qualities-and
no European troops of years standing
ever met bayonet charge better than ours
bave; for there, such young soldiers could
not be trusted either to make or Withstand
a charge Of this character. For such pur.
pose, the tried and trusted troops are always
reserved. But bayOnet charges may be
withstOod for few minutes-and few
minutes only-before the war be over. The
men who can make them ought to meet
them-and If Southern valor dares make
them we will see whether Northern courage
can meet them.-[Sac. Bee.

SENATOR WILSON AND THE JEwS.-The
Israelites of Washington city have adopted
the following preamble and resolutions, in
relation to some aspersions of Senator
Wilson:
Whereas, Henry Wilson, Of Massachu-
setts, in a speech delivered in the United
States Senate, on Thursday, February 18Th,
used the following language: "You will
have every curbstone jew broker, etc.. aud
the class of men who fatten upon public ca
lamiiy, and the wants aud necessities of the
people, using all their influence TO depreci-
ate the credit of this Government;' and
again: IL look upon this contest as con-
test between these curbst0ne brokers, the
Jew brokers. the money y-changers, and the
men who speculate 10 stocks, and the pro-
ductive, toiling men of the country !"
and
Whereas, in the present crisis in which
our beloved country is involved, we yield
to no class of our fellow citizens 10 patriot
ism and devotion TO the Constitution and
the Union. and shall continue as we have
done, and are doing, to give our blood and
treasure in their defense. and that we shall
initiate our ancestors Of revolutionary his
tory, who came forward and most literally
gave of their means TO the attainment of
our independence; therefore,
Resolved, That We repel with indigna.
tion the insulting insinuation that the Jews
of the United States fatten upon the public
calamity, or that they are engaged in a
contest with the productive and t0iling men
Of the country.
Resolved, That we yield precedence to
no class Of our fellow citizens ia affection
or devotion to our country; and we hurl
back with contempt and indignation every
inuendo, be il uttered by Senator or a cit.
izen, 10 assist to the utmost TO relieve our
country from its present peril.
Resolved. That the illiberal remarks made
by the honorable gentleman were unbe-
coming the dignity of Senator of this en-.
lightened nation, aud uncalled for; that we
will leave it to the liberal aud enlightened
people of this vast nation TO decide upon
the merits of said remarks.
Resolved, That a copy of these proceed
ings be sent TO the principal congregations
of the United States.

The TROUBLES AMONG THE PI-UTEs.-The
Silver Age, in the course Of very candid
article upon the troubles among the Pi-Ute
Indians says:
II would be we'll fol Gov. Nye to follow
Winnemucca's example and move around
among his people and keep them all right.
Nine times out Of ten the whites are the ag-
gressors and the cause of difficulties with
the Indians Where the Indians have rights,
they should be protected, and II is the duty
of the Gouernor to zee that they receive the
necessary protection.
A young man in the employ of the Mail
Co., took possession of one OF the squaws.
and the Indians made repeated applications
for her; but the applications were not sue
cessful. The young man insisted upon
keeping the squaw, and was upheld in it by
the other whites In the DeighbOrbood, and
did not give her up until he was Informed
by the company that be would be discharg-
ed and compelled to walk out of the coun.
try unless he done so.
When the Indians get possession Of q
white woman there Is always great out
cry. and everybody wants to kill the whole
tribe; but when white men steal their squaws
no person is found TO sympatbize with the
poor Indian, who is supposed TO feel an af-
feciion for bis wife similar to that felt by
the white man.
