A few days ago our Washington dispatches con.

to pass without some tribute however inadequate il
may be, to the memory of one of the oldest officers
IN the army. Benjamin Franklin Larned was ma

ing our last war with Great Britain, being ap-
pointed Ensign in the 2lst Regiment of Infantry on
the let OF October, 1873. 10 March, of the follow

Second Lieutenant, and, FIVE months sfterward,

division Of 1859 regulars, militia and Indians,
under aforementioned Drunmond, with q loss

The two armies lie fronting each other on either

retreat toward Richmond, as seems 10 have been ex-
peotod the Rebel army halted in "A position o.
strength, not many miles from the river bank, and
waited the approach OF the Union forces. Instead OF
crossing the Potomac in pursuit, Mcclellan has
warily ported bis troops at Wiii4mspor, at Sharps-
burg and Al Harpar's Ferry, in positions which, a
glnuce at the map VIII show, look toward Wnches-
ter by converging lines Nevertheless, il is UNDER
ttood that Mcclellan will not open Virginia cam-
pagn from either of his three points of occupation.
Lee, with his usual adroiiness, has left to Ne.
Cellan only the choice Of racton or Of attack with
ller positions reversed. Ii he pursue the Rebels,
he must fight as they fought last Wednesday, with
he Poomac in his rear. ii he does not pursue the
Rebels are still close TO Maryland borders, Gt
threatening invasion, retaining the offensive, aud
pursuing the policy imposed on them from Richmond.
In the rear of the Rebel army is the Shenandoah
Valley, their amplest depot of suppl es, and their
rcaOlcst line ,i retreat. Unless tnty are again 10
abandon Northern and Eastern Virginia they are in
e most central strategic position; Tor they not only
hold everything east of the Aeghanies, but they
threaten, and, If unmoesed. will certainly enter
Weston Virginia.
When Fiiz John P0iters corps attempted the
Shepherdsiown ford Inst week, and were driven
back, lat commander had been ordered by McClel-
Ian TO his corr to Martinsburg, and made the
attempt in pursuance of that order. In the light Of
the acts above stated it is difficult 20 what value
or security Martinsburg could have. A single corps
as he experiment showed, could neither attack tho
enemy or defend itself
II only remains then TO suppose that with the ex
pull. n of the Rebels from Maryland the campaign
OF VI, Cleian is az hn eud. Whether offensive move
mcuis ere hereafter made must be, on this theory
from different base and by different line. Yet it
is impossible not TO that by way OF Thoroughfare
aud Manassas Gaps, route TO the Rebel rear ID still
open 10 another force. The offered pnoyidentia
manifest, opportunity to annihilate the Rebel army
Mt n blow has been suffered to pass. When aud how
the ncNt shall arrive may even yet be probably
considered.

if this Internal spirit Of abolitioni>m
only threatened in July to divide the

tober the dreaded mischief is ac, omplishcd.
1t has been no fault Of the Democracy
that the northern unity which seemed to
prevail at the beginning Of the war is
broken. The Democracy at the ou's,r
cast aside all considerations Of patty, and
rallied to the support Of the President on
the pcclie principles Of the inaugural
address and Of the Crttcndcn resolutions,
to all of which the Presidents party did
solcmnly commit themselves. Here was
the basis Of union which might have been
enduring, which the Democracy had cam
estly sought to make enduring, and upon
which the Democracy do faithfully stand
to-day. That it has taicd--that the
North is a divided pcopIc--is solely due
to "the more than inceH3iayy. the scarce
ly less than WtrHoi spirit represented by
Mr.. Sumner in the Senate, Wendell Phil
lips in the forum, and the IrjbUHea Of the

lthas been a transparent certainty from
the beginning, that upon partsan meas

North would divide. twas plain before
the emancipation proclamation was is

it, as it is now plain that it has divided

The Great Adventure OF our Day
"a live Yankee in Chiuu.

A Shanghai (Chiua) correspondent OF
the New York Herald, writing on July
Goth, gives lively sketch of the course
of one Of the greatest adventures of mod
crn times, and one whose history reals
like the Arabian Nights. lie says that
two or three yerrs ago coasting vessel
arrived at Sharghae, having mate nam
cd Frederic Ward, who was green boy
ish looking fellow, with a tough hardy
constitution, and an eye that showed him
to have plenty ofdetermnation and pluck.
He had in his possession suit of clothes
and six Mexican dollars. lie is now, at
a moderate estimate, worth as many hun.
Dire the usand, and all eaind by his advcn-
tureous spirit. He had been in Nicaragua
with Walker, and in the Crimea, and
had seen the world generally. At the
time Of his arrival at Shanghae, the coun.
try was in rebellion, as indeed it has been
from time immemolial. The Govern
ment held Shanghai and the rebels held
Soonkoug, city thirty miles up the Nor.
song river, strongly walled and fortified
and having a deep ditch filled with watcl
outside the walls. The Government ives
fearful that the rebels would come down
from Soonkong some fine morning ans
captuie Shanghac The impcralists couJ
not take the former city, but they wantc,
it taken and would pay a handsome pric,
for having the Job done. Ward oiierel
to take the contract for foty thousanJ
taels. His offer was accepted, and in
few days he had taken the city with Chi
nese force which he had drilled for the pur
pose. Then he wanted to take anothe
city few miles beyond, and PERMISSION
was given him He went as far as 'th
walls and fell, shot in three places. HI
soon recovered, and found himself pro
NOTED to a Chinese Colouelship an,
made a Mandaln. lie then married Chi
nese wife, and this still further increases
the cofdenco Of the Government in hin
The English Officers at Shanghac bccam
jealous OF him, and having invited hin
on board Of ono of their vessels, put hir
in irons as an American. lLo was let o
on showing that he was Chine.
subject, and afterwards won the re,pe,
and friendship of the English and l'rcnc
officers. Then the rebels came down in
furious demonstration against Shangha
Ward repulscd them handsomely wit
his Chinese army, and forthwith he wa
promoted to Generalship and made
still higher Mandan. His next offer
to pat down the entire Chinese rebellion
for which he wants ten millions of do
lars, and has prospect Of getting it,
this isn't Yankee enterprise and audaci,
what would be?
