Cemplims to American soldiers.

Compliment 80 American Soldiers.
A correspondent to the n. Y. Post
who has Just visited France, with view
OF sscertAining the sentiments of th
people relative TO American affairs,
finds that the masses are all anxious for
The restoration of the old government,
and look upon the success of the loyal
people, az the s,sr of hope 10 the demOe-
racy ef Europe.
Attending q dinner at q city in the
department Of the Hsut-Rhin, where
the chief topics discussed was the
American question, 3 gentleman thus
complimented the American soldiers :
"The northerns are much batter equip
ped than ours. We have rifed muskets
in certain regiments e'elits only, but all
their troops are armed with the improved
weapons Of modern warfare. The north
ern soldier is much more powerful than
the French; and, indeed, than the troops
of any army have seen, and hs has the
same elastic step, the same bright, in
telligent eye as our own men. Beyond
this he is much steadieF, and his aloTals
is better. Oar soldiers will attempt any
thing they are ordered; but if they are
repulsed five or six times they say the
thing is impossible and give up IN des-
pair. Not SO the American! He acts
upon the idea that he must win, and
every successive repulse emily nerves
him with greater determination and
courage for the next trial.
This compliment from an European
liberal is highly fsttering--the more so as
every word spoken is true.

ment, If had not received il from
very high source here, with The assur-
snce that there good reasons for boliev-
ing it to be tFue. The fact is, the re-
bsllion is collspsing; and, as rsss in
stinctively desert a sinking ship, the
rsbels feel the sinking of the f01nda-
tiOns of their fabric of treason, and
hasten already to escape the tumbling

OFFERS TO DESERT.
Within the past tea days, Gen. Hurl-
but sent out flag of truce on some bu-
siness TO Gen. Forrest. On going out, the
party met flag of truce fron Gen. For
rest. After an exchange Of greeting, and
the particular business was transacted,
the rebels who had come out from For
rect proposed to return with the FederAls
TO their camp and join the Federal army.
Being under flag Of truce the Federsls
declined the proposal, not wishing 70
abuse the sacred rules of flag OF truce
to any such purpose. They, however,
reported the fact 10 head quarters on
their return. Desertion from the rebel
ranks and entry into the Federal lines
are so common, occurring every day and
night, that they cease to be talked about,
though they are promptly reported daily.
The losses to the rebsls by assertions are
enormous. They may enforce their con-
script law. They may take al between
the ages of sixteen and sixty. They
may perfdiOusly take those who, in good
faith paid large sums of money for sub
stitutes, as the rebel Government threat
ems to do; but with sll such efforts,
whether fair or foul, there is good reason
for saying that they cannot materially
increase their army, because they cannot
retain their cOnscripts beyond the first
hour offering an opportunity TO escape.
These assertions are not matters of oc-
currence in Arkansas merely, where there
are now whole Federal regiments made
up Of former rebel soldiers. They occur
in Mississippi, Tennessee and Georgia.

In any proceeding calculated to re-

Of any State were SO infatuated as to

to the repeal Of those adopted in 1851,

could be no other than lame.
