Eneli.h Ignorance of American Affairs.

President Fairfield, Of Hillsdale College,
Michigan, writes from London to the Detroit
Advertiser, concerning the feeling Of the
English people towards the United States.
He says:
al am sorry TO say it, but after month
spent in Great Britain, and eight months in
travel generally, in which l have constantly
been brought into contact and friendly per-
sonal relations with Englishmen, 1 am COM
polled to believe that envy of our national
success, and hostility to our national growth,
ia the controlling feeling Of the English
people; and certainly | can count upon tho
fingers of ono hand all that l have found in
nine months who were in cordial sympathy
with US in SURPRISING a pro-slayery rebel
lion which seeks to establish On empire OF
which slavery shall be the cornerstone. You
will understand that have made it no part
Of my business particularly to seek out our
friends, but speak Of those whom have
CHANGED to meet in hotels, cars, ard else
where, which think much the iairest way
OF ascertaining the general feeling. One
who addresses public audiences on the Amer
lean side Of tho question, will naturally
gather about him those Of his own opinions,
and will be likely very much to nisjudge as
to the attitude Of the great mass. And the
general ignorance Of the people, not only OF
tho questions at issue between the North and
the South, but even Of the simplest facts OF
American geography, is most amusing. is

The War.

We cannot give our readers any salts
factory account of the progress Of the war.
They are fighting little almost every
day, but no decided advantage seems to
be gained on either side yet. Grants
army sometimes drove the rebels into their
entertainments. but our army is not able
to hold any advantage gained in that way,
and they retire speedily to the place of
beginning. Then Grant tries a new base
and new place Of attack, but generally
with the same result.
1t may be taken in the course OF time.
Troy, Jerusalem and Sebastopol have
been taken, and why should not Richmond.
Troy was besieged by the Greeks for ten
years, and at last was taken by the fur
pitude of its own men who betrayed it
into the hands of the enemy. This is
the historians account of its capture,
though the poets tell us it was done by
strategy. BY filling large wooden horse
full of armed men, and getting the Tro
jams to bring him into the city. During
the siege so great was the slaughter that
the rivers of the country were filed with
dead bodies and suits of armour.
Vespasian undertook the siege of Jeru-
salem, but he found it rather tedious
job, and left it rs a legacy to his son
Titus, who afterwards took it. But we
hope our worthy President will not have
to leave his son Bob the taking of Rich
mond Indeed, there is great similarity
between those two men in many points of
character. Vespasian was of lowly origin,
originality of character, and fond Of jokes
He commenced his career as a horse doc

as the present one at Washington, they
