Suggestive "reminiscences,

In one of T.. b. Mansfeld's letters to
the New York Times we find the follow
ing suggestive "reminiscences
"Our Revolutionary war was seven
years ; oar war with England three years;
our war with Mexico two years. Our
present war only year and half; and,
mark, we are just bringing out strength.
We are now just beginning to understand
war. There is parallel between this and
the war of l8l2-'l5. which is quite in-
structive. Mr. Madison was as amiable
as Lincoln, and could not look upon blood
with composure. In fact, he was opposed
to war, aud compelled to accept ii as the
work of his party. At the very first cleo.
ton subsequently, the Federalists carried
several States, one of which was N. York,
and Madison narrowly escaped being de.
feated. The war came on with only one
in the Cabinet who had any taste for it
James Monroe. The Secretary OF War
was Dr. Euslis, revolutionary DOCTOR
The Secretary Of Navy was Paul Hamil
ton, who knew nothing about it; and
Pickney, the Attorney General was op
posed to the war. Hull disgracefully
surrendered, Eustis was put out for Joht
Armstrong, author of"Newbury letters

was discharged one day last week because
of wounds received in battle, which inca
FACILITATED him for performing the duties of
a soldiers life. When discharged, three

besides this sum he had saved enough for
total of eight hundred dollars. This
amount, which was all he had in the
world, except enough to get to his home
with, he deposited with an agent for Ave

States Government, he said, had paid
him every dollar of this money, and he
would trust it with the money, for if the
