DRIrIsH OPINION OF PRECEDENT
LINCOLN.

The London Morning Star, commenting on
Mr.. Stewards recent circular reviewing the
course Of the war, refers In the following COM
plimentary terms TO President Lincoln;
His first official utterance was stamped
with integrity, but did not indicate full per-
ception OF the mighty change which he In fact
represented. He was ready to negotiate with
the secsders, though not to compromise with
them. He refused ct the outset, with manly
decision and emphasis, TO surrender the object
of his election-namsy, the limitation of
slavery. But he was more than willing TO
discuss with them an amendment Of the Con-
stitution; pointing, Of course, TO compen-
sated emancipation. The development of the
idea 10 the glory Of bis presidential rule.
With the dawn Of every sun he seems 10 have
seen more clearly the relation Of negro freedom
victories Of his fleets and armies-and their
failures too-as reasons and instruments for
the advancement Of his great design. Faithful
70 his duties as President faithful, also, TO his
functions as chieitain Of the great Republican
pnrty-he has been no less loyal TO his personal
eonvictions. On the morrow Of his election he
was described by one who rejoiced In that
event, as not an abolitionist; scarcely an anti
siaVery man. II SO, as marvellous as happy
has been the expansion Of his heart and pur-
pose ana There 10 no ground for supposing
that he has moved faster than the people he

President could scarcely undo what the Rspuh.
lican has done The abolitionists of New Eng.
land find allies In Maryland and Missouri, IN
North Carolina and Tennessee. Men who went
out as soldiers or sailors without a thought OF
the negro that wis not contemptuous have

We learn on reliable information that during
the cavalry fight on last Monday afternoon, In
the neighborhood of Brandy Station, the Hon.
John N. Bolts was arrested or taken prisoner
by the rebels, and that he has since been taken

Bradford, Freeman and others, Of
Culpeper county, who were sometime ago ar
rested by Gen. Meade as dangerous persons
and confined In the Old Capitol. We have no
doubt the relatives OF these men insisted on his
arrest, as the surest means of securing their
speedy return Virginia State Journal.

HORSES.

Eugene Delacroix, the great French painter,
recently deceased, once visited Algeria with O
commission Of the French Government, and
among other things written by him about his
residence there, he says:
had auother occupation this was the
study Of Arabian horses. They have under
their native sky a peculiar character Of pride
and energy which they lose when they change
their country. They very often violently throw
their riders TO the ground that they may fight
each other-sanguinary combats which last
whole hours. They bite each other like tigers,
and nothing can separate them. The hoarse
Fiery breath which darts from their scarlet nos
trils like the respiration of locomotives, their
ioating or blood-matted names, their feroclous
alousies, and their mortal hatrcds, everything
IN them, attitude and character, rise TO poetry.o
Now we have no such spirited and postical
animals In our country, and In spite Of all the
poetry and fables written about the Arab steed,
we believe that the English and American blood
horses are superior to the Arabians of the pre-
sent day In many respects.
At all events, the efforts made to Improve
the stock Of horses In America have been highly
successful, and the general result Is large In
crease of the substantial wealth Of the country.
Il Is doubtless true that the breeding Of Morgan
and Black Hawk horses, which arc far from
being the best types Of the noble animal, has
brought as much money into Vermont as wool
growing. And so Of other New England States,
and Of other sections Of the country, where the
raising Of horses has brought In great revenues.
In many parts Of the country our enterprising
FARMERS have discovered that q colt consume
no more fodder than Q steers while the steer
sells for forty dollars and the fast colt for Ave
hundred or thousand dollars.
The race course is not now simply gam
bling institution, as many have believed. That
is, or has been, q popular dslusion among the
hetter sort Of people. Wagers arc made upon
the spssd Of hcsse., y 4 true, but shis makes
the race course . crucible In which the blood Of
the animal Is refined. It Is the ultimate test Of
the qualities that belong to horses Of the best
type, and give him his highest value. s.r q
The National Course, of Washington, which
Is advertised 10 be inaugurted next Tuesday.
deserves to be encouraged by our citizens. II

most fastidious need not fear to attend the
trials Of speed upon II, and 1t bids fair not only
