English opinion Of Union GeneralhiP Grants
- Superiority Conceded.

The London Star, of the 2sth Mt, in an
article on SHERIDANs victory at Winchester
avs: ...,..s5 s-roq,-ss7r
We doubt not the Confederates fought with
all their usual braverysnd desperation, know
ing full well the importance Of victory at
thiss critical period, of the campaign, and
when the prize was a position so valuable TO
Lee as the Shenandoah Valley. But the re-
suit Is only one among many recent instances
achlch prooeS that the superiority of qenralSbip
Is noe chody Nth The Faderals.fs There could
not have been fairer Geld for the display of
military genius than that accorded to Early.
He was fighting on familiar ground the wide
valley OF the Shenandoah was a splendid
theatre for his operations his force was
nearly equal to that of his oppnent; and as
lhe possession OF the supplies of the valley
andsthe covering OF the lines of communica-
ton at its head We're all-important to the
Confedefate cause, he had every inducement
victory at all hazards. But he is defeated by
comparative STRIPPING, a Young General who
was only hewing his way upward with the
saber, after Early's name had been for many
months familiar to Europe and America as a
corps commander n s4 7 4
After briefly describing the object of EAR
LY'S movements in concludes:
Viewed as part of the larger operations
which have Richmond for their center, the
episode of the Shenandoah Valley would
seem to prove that Lee has 1aaore atouyo'nad has
match az Grant as a arategiSt. He reinforced
Early at an inauspicious moment for himself,
as the Immediate Seizure of the Weldon rail-
road by Grant abundantly proved; and now,
when he is believed to have been in the act
of recalling a portion of Early's force to mass
on Grants left with view of recapturing the
road, the Federal General suddenly launches
his thunderbolt and shivers the detached ar
my. Clearly Lee has taken little by hismove-
ment In the Shenandoah, while the victory
comes most opportunely to swell in the North
that strong outburst of war feeling which be-
gan with the taking of the Mobile forts, and
was stimulated by the capture of Atlanta.

2ette has private letter from It. D. L. NoG-
GLE, which gives the following account of the
part taken by the Fourth Wisconsin Battery
in resisting the recent attack made on
KAUTz's cavalry north of James river The
letter is dated Jones Landing, Oct. 18th, and
says: -....-.. NJ ..
After the hardest days work that / have
ever done, | have succeeded in reaching
camp with some of our men and horses
About this morning. thezrebels attacked us,
and as they were very strong, they drove US
from our position near Richmond. They had
at least three brgades of infantry, cavalry
and artillery, while our whole division did
not number two thousand men. We only
had four pieces out. We fought them as
long as we could Our line of retreat being
cut off, we were compelled to make our way
through deep swamp. Battery B, lst q. S.
was ahead of US. Their leading piece be-
came mired, which gave the Johnnies time to
come on to us. They fired a -volley at us
only few yards off, when the Chief of Artil-
lery gave the order to unhiteh and abandon
our pieces. The rebels were so close that
we did not get all our horses away. But
away we went through the woods with the
rebels after US. Most of us succeeded in
getting into Birney's lines. We had four
wounded, one MORALLY We had about 20
horses wounded, and lost four pieces. Bat
terry B lost four pieces, and [ think more
horses than we did. | was never under so hot
a fire before, neither was the battery The
boys all fought well. We did not lose any
more than Battery B.

Stephens on Restriction,

letter, purporting to nave been written
by Alex. Fl. Stevens of Georgia, the rebel
Vice President, in reply to letter from sew
eral of his fellow citizens is published He
says that no person more ardently desires an
end to the war than he does, but 1t Is not In
his power to bring that about. He says the
recognition of the ultimate, absolute, sover-
eighty of the States, is the only solution Of
| the trouble. The idea of maintaing the old
Union or any Union by force is preposterous.
The subugation Of the South by the North
would involve the destruction of the Consti-
tuition and the overthrow of their liberties as
well as ours. Any peace growing out of
Union of States established by force will be
as ruinous to them as to us.
He says 'the action of the Chicago Con-
vention, so far as it's platform of principles
goes, presents ray of light which under
Providence may prove the dawn of day to
this long and cherries night. The promi
nent and leading idea of that Convention
seems to have been desire to reach peace
ful adjustment of our present difficulties.
Through a convention of the States they
propose to suspend hostilities, to see what
can be done, if anything in the way of nego-
tiation. This is step in the right direc-
ton" s-.-.| n Htff.f y
r. After arguing in favor of this plank of the
Chicago Platform, the Vice President contin-
ues: Z" To convention of States to adjust
our difficulties have no objections. But |
should favor such proposition only as a
peaceful conference, such as the Convention
of 1887 was l should be opposed to leaving
the questions at issue to the absolute decision
of such body. The plan of adjustment
should be submitted for subsequent rstifca-
ton by the sovereign States, whom it affect
ed, before it should be binding, and then it
should be binding on such IS should ratify."

Henry Ward Beeeher on President Lincoln,
1 Ef and the Duty of Young Men,.


l am hopeful of the result; perhaps too
hopeful; but think not. And when, once
the coming election is passed, and the cause
of the Government is indicated, and that
much abused and good man is seated again in
the Presidential chair--as man that has gone
through seas of difficulty with less sympathy
than any man that ever lived; man that
has been called to achieve more difficult
tasks, With less law, with fewer precedents,
aud with less help than any man that ever
lived; man that has been as unwearied and
patient, and honest and true in his own con-
yictions of duty, as any man that ever lived
when he again, better instructed by the
last four years schooling through which he
has passed, is seated as Chief Magistrate of
the nation for four years more, which are to
be the formative period of our newly created
history, l shall feel as though we had ad-
vanced one cycle nearer the millennial day
A voice, Amen.
Into this conflict so, then, young men,
There is not one of you that in the Judgment
day can hold up your head and make excuse
if you fail your country in this day OF her
trial. There is not single wicked influence
that is not conspiring for her overthrow. Do
you hear with admiration of men that per-
formed good deeds in days that are gone by?
Do you listen to accounts of what men acGiev-
ed at former periods in the cause of patriot
ism?
Never was there such an opportunity for
performing good deeds; never was there such
a time for achieving in the cause of patriot
ism, as God has given you. And be worthy
of the day in which you live. Be worthy of
the Government which you have honored
Be worthy of your fathers that have given
you your name. Be worthy of the glory of
your past history. Transmit to the future
this land, undiscovered, fairer for the strifes
which it has gone through, and worn bright
as armor long used in battle by the concus-
sions Of which it has been the scene Do
these things, and your names shall be en-
craven on the imperishable columns of this
commonwealth of liberty.
