The National Quarterly thus depicts q remark
aSle sceue that occurred some years since IN one
Of the British transport ships. The commander
Of the troops on board, seeing that the vessel
must soon sink, and there was no hOps of saw
ing his men, drew them up in order of battle
and IS IN the presence of a human enemy,
bravely facsd the doom that was before them
We know Of no more impressive illustration of
the power Of military discipline in the presence
Of death:
" Look at that noble vessel in yon high sea :
She has sprung 8 leak; al the resources on
board have been called into play for her release
from the deep, bat to no avail The waters are
gaining fast on her-bsyond human control
She must sink! A regiment Of brave, perfectly
disciplined soldiers are mustered on deck by 8
quick roll Of the drum; Cficsrs and soldiers
promptly ill their rank and file, and shoulder
arms See them stand in serrisd ranks, and
completely accou' cred for long, long march.
Not a mOurnful diTgs, but g national anthem, is
played by the band. The regimentsl colors
dutter in the sr-ths staff that supports them Is
rs firm as the stout heart Of the ensign that
holds it. The array Of battle is reflected in
mournful appearance on the lowering clouds,
which seem anxious to veil the waters, rippled
by the breath of death. InsidioHsly does the
water lesp at last over the bulwarks Of she GAL
lsnt and doomed ship, and down she goes. The
martial voice of the commandant orders, 4" pre-
sent arms " rapid succession of orders Is
calmly given and calmly executed the drum
beats quicker and quicker the muskets thump
OF the deck at the last word of command a
splash g. their fall, a surge of the invading
waters, ths drum is silenced, an army Of bub-
bles swaTms on the surface, aud calm, silent and
steady, the last glare Of the polished steel re-
h5etS dying ray Of mOurnful light.

sIenghter Of Priseners,

From the Richmond Enquner.I
The habitual seizure of our citizens at their
homes by the eUamy's military, for no reason
whatever, except that they had the power, and
thought it safer to take these than soldiers, has
been one Of the standing outrsges of the war.
We have moi been able to retsiiats in kind to the
full extent, because we have been the invaded
party.
But IN the New York Times. Of tie 3Ist, we
find a tale Of horror, " hich we here COPY that
presents US with sn atrocity TO be avenged, aud
a terrible precedent for the treatment of tte
cases Of outrage first above alluded to. The
following is the statement;
" On Saturday, October 18Th, ten rebel pris-
oners were shot at Palmyra, Missouri, in accord
ance with orders issued By General Mcneil.
PoTters gUerilias had, some days previously,
carried eff Andrew Alsrnan, from Palmyra, snd
General Mcneil promptly gave orders that if he
we're not returned to bis family within ten deys,
ten prisoners should be shot Hr. AIlsmsn was
rot released, and General Mcneil executed his
threat"
We are not disposed to give credit to startling
stories on either side, as against the other. We
wait in such cases for the proof, aud generally
it never comes.
But the abatement sbove is from the enemy.
It stands in the nature Of confession, or rather
we should say CT a Doast. Names, and dates, and
figures, ana Places are iYe9i WIRE partcuihItty J
which Challenges dsnisL We take it from 10
obscure source. bus from one Of the leading or
RaDS OF the ruling party, in the city of Aew
York. We feel constrained, therefore, TO accept
the statement as probably true.
These ten good man that were foully mur-
dered by c9wardly rufien who calls himself
general, demand to be avenged. Their blood
cries out to US from she veEg ground which
drank it. And if the simple charge Of taking q
citizen from his homo and carrying him of, and
refasins 30 estoTe him, justices such retaliation
