About Secretary seward.

From the North American Review for April.
There seems to be growing tendency of late
to undeEvalue Mr.. Seward. That he should be
spoken slightingly of in England is not to be
wondered at, but that such sneers should be
caught up and repeated in this country argues
pitiful prOvincialsm not very flattering to our
independence. There is, to be sure, little in
consistency in the charges brought against him.
On that side of the water he is accused of blus-
ter and on his, of trucking. A man must have
pretty fairly preserved, one would say, the be-
coming moderation of craftsmanship, who is at
tackled ON such opposite grounds. fblr. Seward
sometimes seem to foreign critics little tOOcOn-
fident, we at least like him the less for hav
ing faith in the destiny of his country. If his
dispatches now and then smack a little of the
schOOlmaster, we must not forget that European
statesmen are boys in their d-b-abS In all that
concerns a knowledge of us and our affairs. In
the Trent case we undoubtedly had no standing
whatever in international law, and because Eng
land made her demand little gruffiy, was Mr.
Seward TO insure our dismemberment as a
tiOn, by a foreign war, on point of childish
temper2 The true Office of statesman is to pre-
vent his cOuntrymen from acting under the in
fiuence of passion. Mr.. Seward, by universal
admission was one Ofthe ablest if not the ablest,
of our politicians three years ago, and we can
not believe that he has become suddenly so i'm
beetle He was an anti-slavery man when it
was not vet prosperous to be So before some of
his critics were born, and if he now set 4 high
er value on the merely territorial integrity Of
the country than seems wise to some, it is only
the natural result of a position which compels
him to see and feel more keenly than anything
else the weakness and danger which have re-
suited from disunion in our relation with for
eigu powers. If we have been able for three
years to thwart all designs at intervention, with
the war and ruin which would have followed,
we owe it mainly to Mr.. Seward; and if his
victories have been less noisy, and less gratify-
ing to our pride, than those in other fields they
have been no less effective, nor less deserving
the gratitude of his country

The War pemocracr on Long.

The Buffalo Courier, who is the Mcclellan or
gan for Western New York, does not like the
Peace doctrines of Long. The fssure between
the Peace and War men is widening day by
day. They are working hard to close it up
The Crisis and Enquirer would not like to en-
dorse the following:
The sentiments avOwed by Messrs Long aud
Harris are not ours, nor are they those enter
tanned by the Democratic Party. The reeogni-
tiOn of the Southern Confederaey would not on
ly be the end of the Constitution, and the DEATH
blow to national integrity but the financial rti-
in of the so-ealled Loyal States. Acknowledge
the independence of the Rebel Government and
the whole national debt would be repudiated by
the people, at the hazard of armed revolution.
The Western States would secede from the
Eastern, and the Middle States as precipitately
as the Cotton States left the Union.

Marked Articles.

Some of the marks which are fastened on the
blankets, shirts, DC, sent to the Sanitary Com
mission for the soldiers, show the thought and
feeling at home. Thus, on home spun blank
ct, worn, but washed as clean as snow, was pin
ned bit of paper which said: This blanket
was carried by Milly Aldrich [who is ninety
a half miles, to be given to some soldier"
On bed quilt was pinned card, saying
My son is in the army. Whoever is made
warm by this quilt, which / have worked on
for six days and most all of six nights, let him
remember his own mothers love"
On another blanket was this: "This blanket
was used by soldier in the war of lSl2-may
it keep some soldier warm in this war against
traitors"
Ona pillow was written: "This pillow belong
ed to my little boy who died resting on it.; it is
a precious treasure to me, but give it for the
soldiers"
On pair of wooden socks was written:"T These
stocking were knit by a little grill five years
old, and she is going to knit some more, for
mother says it will help some poor soldier.
On a box of beautiful lint was this mark:
MADE in sick room, where the sunlight has
not entered for nine years, but where two sons
have bid their mother good bye, as they have
gone out to the war"
On bundle containing bandages was written:
"This is poor gift, but it is all had; l have
given my husband and my boy, and only wish
/ had more to give. but l haven't"
On some eye shades were marked: "Made by
one who is blind. Oh, how l long to see the
dear old flag that you are all fighting under.

TALL REcRUITs.-The Providence Press tells
the following story abount tall recruits for the
I4th Rhode Island Regiment.
aAmong the recruits for the 18th Rhode Is
land Regiment, on Dutch Island, are fourteen
brothers, all the sons of the same father and
mother. A still more remarkable circumstance
concerning these "bOys" is, that there are among
them two pair of twins. The average hight of
the fourteen is six feet two inches, making an
aggregate of eighty-JiUe feet. Their names are
Postly, and they are all members of Company |.
They came from the town of Deposit, BroOme
county N. Y, where their mother is still liv
ing, their father being dead, and where also,
they have two sisters, also twins, one of whom
weighs two hundred and eighty two pounds
and all the others about two hundred and
twenty"

| A CoPPERHEAD LoCALITY.-Bucyrus, the coun-
ty seat of Crawford county, is becoming one of
the most notorious places in the State of Ohio.
Scarcely day or night passes, without mObb-
ing or shooting somebody If this spirit con-
tinues to exercise the Copperheads in that local
| ity, the Union men will be forced to adopt the
Vallandigham doctrine of "reprisals. The
Journal states that on last Monday night, Mr..
John Sims was passing the post office with a
pitcher of water in his hand, when he was set
upon by three or four ruffians, who came up be-
hind him, knocked him down and beat him with
clubs, cutting and bruising him in a most shock
ing manner. On the same night several guns
and pistols were fired in the public square (for
