without much relief from ANYTHING. In fact, the

knows why Bayard, recognized through
out the country as brilliant officer; Reno,
Stevens, Richardson, Sill, Hooker and
Rosecraus. Had these men shown no ca
pacity? No ray of genius He believed
there never were better artillery officers in
the world than those in our army.
Mr.. Lane of Kansas, said as the Senator
(Wilson,) was supposed to have had some
thing to do with shaping the policy of the
government, he Lane) would ask how it is
that while by this Senate chamber and by
a majority of the Senate his opinion is en-
tertained and expressed that a graduate
from West Point, now holding a most i'm
portaut position. is not fit to hold it, he
should still retain that position. Is it be-
cause this government is controlled by
West Point?
Mr.. Wilsou-who does the Senator re-
fer to?
Mr.. Lane-Meigs. He has been boldly
denounced here in this Senate. If it be
true "that this government is tot.ering to
its grave when that grave closes and the
epitaph is to he written, that epitaph will
be 'Died of West Point"
Mr.. Wilson said that he had nothing
whatever to do with shaping the policy Of
the government as far as the appointing of
Generals was concerned. He (Wilson)
never had criticised the operations of our
Generals in this place and never should
lie had never advised the president to ap-
point or not to appoint any Generals. He
believed Gen. Meigs TO be as loyal as eth
or the Senator from Kansas or himself. He
(Neigs) was the very FIRST man singled ont
to take an active part against the rebel
lion.
Mr.. Foster of CT. asked who had come up
outside of West Point, who had shown
himself to be great commander?
Mr.. Trumbull, of Ill-iiOw could he come
up if he had not the opportunity To
what do we owe the thousands and thou
sands of lives sacrificed in the swamps OF
rebellion, except for the passion of engi.
ueers for constructing Notifications? We
want generals who will rely on the strength
of our armies. and lead these men who have
gone into the field to crush out rebellion,
against the rebels With fixed eve and strong
arms. Let them advance with the power
OF hundred tho usand bayonets, and they
will put the enemy to flight, and rout and
destroy this rebellion. You never can de-
stroy this rebellion by building fortihca-
tons and planting cannon to see how far
You can shoot and whether you cannot hit
man without seeing him. The army is

regular army, and no volunteer has had a
chance to control hundred thousand men.
To crush the rebellion the men Of the
North must be let loose, and let them come
down upon the rebels with tue strong arm,
and they will grind them to powder.
Mr.. Fessendeu, of Me-, hoped that vote
would be taken. He had sometimes almost
regretted that all the officers of our army
had not bee2 taken from the Senate OF

knowledge by sort of intuitiye perception

There was spicy debate in the Senate
on Thursday, over the appropriation for
the West Point military academy, in which
the only thing made clear, quite needless
", was some harsh and dogmatic and mar
row. minded views:-
Mr. Wade, of Ohio, was opposed to sup
porting this West Point Academy He be-
Iieved it had been hot-bed of treason
Had there been no West Point academy.
there would have been no rebellion. lie
believed that the army officers from thar
school were distractions to tile army o-dav.
Mr.. Wilson, OF Mass, thought that dis
loyalty could not be charged against West
Point. About six hundred aud twenty
officers from that academy were in the army
aud had remained loyal. About one hun
dred and seventy eight from the southern
states had resigned, and nineteen from the
North. Que hundred and thirty-eight OH
GERS from the slave-holdidg states had re-
manned loyal, and ffty-two of these were
from the seeded states. There might be
some evils connected with the West Poin,
institution. There was an exclusiveness
which he (Wilsou) thought wrong, bnt
disloyalty could not be charged against
West Point.
Mr. Nesmitb, of Oregon, thought that
the Senator from Ohio (Wade) was entire
Is mistaken in his opinion of West Point.
People, in this age, do not get military
knowledge as they do the measles or by
any inspiration, as in olden times. Then
We hear of Moses, who was great quar-
termaster, who had fresh mama every
morning without transportation, aud thew
then blew down walls With rams horns
But such days of inspiration have gone,
and we have to resort to education. An
institution which has educated such men
as Winthrop, Greble, Lyon. aud Others.
should not be charged with disloyalty.
Mr. Wade replied, conteudiug that the
West Point institution had only fos;ered
jealoustes and rivalries in the army. ana
that 1t was monopoly entirely at variance
with the Government, 1t might be a good
institution to make engineers, but it fur
nished no qualifications for a Commander
of an army. There were men in the army
to-day, who were eating the bread of the
Government, and who were doing all thew
could to destroy the Government
Mr.. Lane, of Kansas, said that these men
had been educated at West Point at the ey-
pense of millions of dollars. Could the
Senator from Massachusetts (Wilsonl point
to one single ray OF genius exhibited b.
any single one of these officers2
Mr.. Wilson, in reply, said that we had
lost twenty-six general officers since ;be
war commenced. Seventeen of them were
killed in battle and nine of them educated
at West Point. Among these were such
names as Lyon, Mansfield, who fell at An.

TAE most unreasonable opponents OF the
emancipation proclaim alton cannot deny
that it has secured US popular sympathy
abroad. That sympathy is more general
and deep than many of US comprehend
Strange as the fact is, the Republicans in
Europe, the men who are laboring and suf-
fering there In the cause of democracy
against the old dyuasties, show a better
comprehension of the necessities of our
situation and the real meaning aud tenden-
cy of The great struggle in which we are
involved, than do the majority of our own
people. The address Of the workingmen
of Manchester, England, to President
Lincoln, is instructive as to the opinions
and feelings of the English masses towards
this country. While the aristocracy iu-
stinctiYely hate US and sympathize with
the aristocracy of the South and desire
success, the great heart of the English peo-
pie is with US. The British government
understands this, and more than anything
else has it deferred that government from
yielding to the influence of the aristocracy
and interfering directly in behalf of the
rebellion. And now that the President has
connected emancipation with the suppress
sion of the rebellion We do not believe the
British government could give direct coun-
teuauce and aid to the rebels without dan
ger of revOlution-at least a social and
political revolution, that would bring such
men as John Bright into power. To some
extent the same thing is true of the French
people, and we have no doubt that the
emancipation proclamation has secured US
against foreign intervention, and has at
least postponed the recognition of the con-
federacy:
