leans are only Englishmen in their shirt
sleeves, and while hope remains they
cannot give way. Pluck and tenacity,
however unreasonable, are not exactly
signs Of degeneracy. Wefought for years
to keep colonies which the greatest men
among us declared all the time We should
be unable TO conquer; and though We
recognise the folly of our persistence it
has not injured our national character,
The North is plunging itself in debit True,
and better SO than plunge into system Of
acquisitions which the French tried after
exhausiting assignats, and without certain

" are eating up their future" We have
one, nevertheless, who have bitten just
five times as deeply into the cake.
America has still not incurred larger
debt than we contracted to conquer the
States, though we had then but half the
American population. "She is destroy
ing the source of populatson." 1t is true,
the waste of life is mos, fearful, but it
must in any case be less than the destruc-

trophe we have survived; and which too
many of us in our secret hearts do not to
this hour regret. The Union has sur
rendered its principles, the right Of man.

also, but we are not going to poll India,
nor if Ireland rebelled tomorrow should

nation must exist before it can proclaim
any principles whatever, and thong h we
can conceive of people so loftily consist

ciple which visibly involved their own
destruction, that is not height to which
we have attained, nor does it lie in our
mouths to charge the northern people with
failure to reach standard of virtue from
which we ourselves recoil.

STAMPEDE OF SLAvEs.-Some forty
odd slaves stampeded from NanjemOy
district, Maryland, on Saturday night d
of last week. One man alone lost over
$50, 1000 of this species of walking pro
perty. o
In view of the fact that there is no Ion
ger any security that slaves can be re-
tanned in Maryland, the people OF this
State are discussing, through the news
papers, the Importance of adopting the
emancipation project of Mr.. Lincoln. It
is proposed to hold State Convention at
Baltimore, shortly, to take the u9led
into consideration.

II A rough named Mcclure, who
boasts of travelling on his muscle, went,
the other day, into restaurant in Alba
ny to pick quarrel with the proprietor.
He succeeded, and the said proprietor
whipped him so terribly that he had to be
carried home on shutter.
We wish the people of Rutland would
"go and do likewise" and put an end to
the ruffainism so prevalent in our midst
for some weeks past. For our own part,
we would have as little conjunction in
shooting down these rufians as in shoot
ing down a mad dog.

ridge with some Of his accomplices has fled,
but officers are in pursuit and it is believed
he will be apprehended.
1t is almost incredible that any citizen OF
Vermont should perpetrate such dastardiy
and reasonable act. If the offence is proved
there is scarcely any punishment too severe
TO be melted out to him. We all remember

THE AMRNpE. - We inadvertently, last
week, coupled the Rutland Herald with the
Bellows Falls Argus, whereat the Herald is
justly indignant and very promptly calls upon
us to retract or take the consequences We
retract, apologize, and assure our distinguish
ed contemporary that his conduct is correct,
his honor unimpeachable, and that the Ian
guage used does in no sense whatever apply
to HMM short, that we had in mind another
and altogether different fellow yclept the
Rutland Courier. If this is not satisfactory
why, we can only accord the satisfaction one
gentleman expects of another. As the chal-
lenged party we shall claim the right to nix
upon time, place and weapons. We will
name Rutland, about the time of the State
Fair, the weapons two bottles of wine, dis
lance one pace, a-d aeither party to leave
the ground so long as shot remains IN the
locker
We are willing to fgktis with any weapons
recognized in civilized warfare. But we
must decline the weapons named, as we are
well assured that gentleman so skilled and
accomplished IN their use as is the editor o.
the Phoenix, would floor us long before the
last shots we're exchanged But we will con
sent to act as bottle holder, if the Pheni'

OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE
WAR.

In forming an estimat, of the compare
tive skill displayed by the parties to the
present war, it should be remembered
that the insurgents have acted almost
constantly on the defensive, leaving the
work Of planning and executing offensive
movements to the National Generals
The confederate military authorities have,
it is true, combined aggressive move
nents at particular points with their de-
fensive tactics-but they do not seem
thus far to have devised, on large scale,
any connected scheme of offensive opera
tons. In this light it will be seen that a
greater requisition has been made on the
military discretion and skill of the Nation
al commanders, as all writers on military
science agree that to act on the offensive
that is. to take the affirmative OF the
issuse-requires more genius, valor, and
resources than are needed for merely
defensive system. On this head Marshal
Marmont says -
"In offensive war the operations are
yaster, the conditions more variable, the
elements of calculation more uncertain
At any moment one may be forced to
change his part-to abandon an attack in
order to defend himself and escape great
perils. There is needed, therefore, a
greater genius, to be always ready to vary
his projects, to execute new combina-
tons. In a defensive war the theatre is
more contracted the operations are upon
familiar ground, the nature OF which
may be exactly appreciated. The COM
binations being less in number, it is easier
to arrange for them and to confront them.
In offensive war, genius must supply the
want of experience, and guess at the
character of the country in which opera
tons are made the points of support on
which we count vary, and sometimes dis
appear. In defensive war we act upon a
field prepared and studied we have fixed
pivots of operations everything may be
calculated with precision. A superior
genius is, then, more necessary tor Often
siye war. while great knowledge of the
profession, the talents to iudiciously use
the points of support, and extreme fore
sight, with indefatigable activity, may
suffice for the needs of defensive war;"
Perhaps the character Of 'the grea
General has never been more perfectly
sketched than in the following outlines by
Edmund Burke -
"The fortitude required Of him is yer.

think this is also the prayer of all honest
citizens of all parties. But | must say
in this connection, but few remain honest
in these days of trial.
One of our humble aud God loving
widow ladies begged that notice might be
given to the train, which was expected
down, to prevent the cars from being
dashed over the mutIated culvert. The
request was abruptly denied with curses
and threats to shoot any one who would
attempt to give the notice.
This good woman then clasped her
hands together and said, with an aching
heart, to these fends in human shape
you cannot prevent my prayers = The
prayers Of the widow prevailed.
The railroad and telegraph lines have
been speedily repaired, and cars now run
as usual, making their regular trips"
