Seward as LogIcian.

In Sewdrds lengthy letter TO Lord Lyons in reference
to the seizure of our commissioners he claims to have
established that our commissioners conrsband of
war, that Captain Wilkes might lawfully stop and search
the British ship for them and that if the attempt to carry
the British ship conveying them before court of admit
rally would have hazlded the safety of Captain Wilkes
own vessel then he might lawfully take the coOtraband
persons from aboard aud release the British ship
Would the attemp. carry the Trent before court Of
admiralty have hszarded Captain Wilkes own vessel?
Captain Wilkes says So when he ssys, 81 forbOre to seize
her in consequence of my being reduced in officers
aud meu" Mr. SeNari sck loSedges it, when he SAYS,
CLEARLY the release would have been made solely
on the first ground assigned for il by Captain
wilkes namely: a want of sufficient force to send
the prize vessel into port for adjudication"
Writers on logic tell ia, that all true arguments may
be reduced TO the form Of sylogism which is an srRu
ment containing two premises and conclusion, ard 4
the premises are true the conclusion cannot be avoided
For example, All men are animals list premise) Mr..
Seward Is man, III premise,) Therefore, Mr..
Slvard is an animal, (couclusiOn) Let US try the
Northern Secretarys argument by this rule. Says
ne: All captors, when it would haSard their own
shirs to secure judicial examination of their prizes
have a right to take the contraband persons from
aboard and release the prizes, list premise Captain
wTkes WAS a captor when it would have hazarded his
own ship to secure Judicial examination of his prize,
I'D prerisel Therefore, concludes Mr. seward Capt.
Wilkes had no right to take the conirsband persons
f,Om aboard, and release the prize-Whch is non Sc
qIitur.
How does Mr. Seward attempt to justify his illogical
conclusion? Why by the pllpAble absurdy, that, in
explanation Of his conduct in releasing the Trent, Capt
wEk,s gave reasolS the irs; of which completely
l,t6ed him the second did not and because the
ond reason did not justify him, the frs reason be
counted as nothing and his must be condemned as
illegal.
Truly, the way Of the transgressor is hard. Who
could have believed that William II. Seward would ever
be forced TO write such a state paper

rURLoUeHs-NILIrARY CRITICISMS.

To the Editor Of the WAig;
Like, doubtless, many Of my fcllow-ciizsns, have
read with painful interest the communication OF your
correspondent "Cdvdlrv-wth pain that these things
should be So with the pesonsl knowledge that come OF
them are So but with the sincere hope that the picture
ia overdrawn. beg to call the attention Of the writer
TO one remark upon the subject Of iurloughs and that
s: They" he privstes) say the Captain knows best
how many can be spared from his company; the Col
ouel best how many be spared from his regiment
The Captains and Colonies will be simply amused, as
the writer would be IL he were Captain Colonel,
at such an idea as this Let him ask the Generals,
Captains or Colonies IL they knew how many men could
be spared" nom a company or regiment twelve hours
before the battles of the 18Th 2lst July. How many
could General Evans have spared at the battle OF
Lsesburgs Stuart at Dsainsvlls? Floyd, at CarnifaH
Ferry? johnson, at Alleghanyg Perhaps, too, the
following from the papers Of the lO.h instant may be
worthy Of notice in this connection.

furloughs to about 40O bH. ttr his deficiency IN our

Experience will doubtless suggest many improve
ments In the management Of our army; but IL may
well be feared that the wholesale denuncaion and rid
cue OF what has been done, embracing drill, camp
discipline and everything with which the papers TEEN,
may prove more disastrous than the evils sought to be

ARMY APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS.

To hs Editor Of The Wig:
Our volunteer system Ia dependent for B upon
the efforts Of a few gentlemen In every community OF
the people. These gentlemen, from various feelings Of
patriotism exert their energies to get the people into
volunteer comp ines for the service and in return
acknowledgement TO their WORTH they made captains
These captains are generally Of energy and en-
terprse, and not unfrequenty Of the best talents
and position in the country They certainly do not
pect their patriotism to be overlooked themselves
to be neglected.
How frequently does it happen that these men are
mortified by being postponed TO others who have no
claims upon the army country Ia the case of vacan-
cies occurring in regiment, in Of lis field Offices,
the vacancy should be filed from the regiment II not
equeny happens that :uch vacancies are filed by
psrsons who have connection with tue regiment and
who have service-psrsons who have been
spending their time lesurely at tho Capital or at re.
spscul distance behind the army and away from danger
aud then visiting the headquarters" ofthe command
ing General and oultivstng his good opinion while the
officers Of the regiments have been all the time the
posts Of duty and danger.
II Is in power relate many instances of rjls.
tce Of this character. That they remain ia the service
after being thus sighted aud postponed is the best evil
evidence Of the patriotism Of the captains in the reg
ments
But the public good suffers in the persons of those
neglected officers. They mortified their energies
weakened; their inducemeat to individual prowess in
part removed their inducement keep their c)mpanes
together for another campaign is weakened and the sol
diers dissatisfied in being placed under tooihless
old forward begaar, or some STRIPPING of ~. ~ l."

/ Nor will she undertake to bind her daughter to)
the observance of even the limited degree Of
chastity which the Hassenych marriage re-
quires, unless the bridegroom viii offer better
/ equivalent.
The Indignation of the happy young mans
father, mother, and party, can scarcely bel
retained within bounds They rise from the
ground, adjust their scattered garments around
their waists ard shoulders, and refuse the prof.
fered drink, threatening to break up the match.
To an unpraetiSed observer row seems imHl-
nent. One or two elderly people, however,
always retained for the occasion, after great
deal of apparent resistance, succeeded in put
ting stop to no end of threats and vain
boastiugs and eventually induce the parties to
resume their seats. After the flowing bowl,
handed from one TO the other, has passed round,
business is recommended by third party
one of the grey-headed cd peace-makers-
speechifying in praise Of the bridegroom's
purse and family, and the respectability of the
dowry and while acknowledging the value of
the brides family, and the beauty of the bride,
insists that they are too hard upon the young
man and that for a consideration of two days
more per week being added to the term, the
marriage should hold good, he undertaking
that suitable addition shall be added 10 the
amount of dowry fixed upon by both parties.
Another general outburst, among which the
brides mother aud party are the most con-
spicuous, follows the above harangue, and it is
with difficulty that peace is restored. 1t is
now proposed that, in consideration of the ad-
dtion of four-year old mich COW, d heifer,
and a pair of yearling bulls, to the amount of
S25 offered, and $50 more payable in case of
divorce. the marriage shall hold good as is
customary among the first families Of the tribe,
for four full days in the week viz Monday.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and. in
compliance with old established customs, the
marriage rites during the three remaining days
shall not be insisted on, during which days the
bride shall be perfectly free to act as she may
think proper, either adhering to her husband
and her home, Or by enjoying her freedom and
her independence from all observation of mat
rimonial obligations.
