From the British Army and:NaLy Gazette, Feb. IL.
Gen. Mcclellan has, we believe, left
London for Paris. and those officers who
were desirous of showing any attention to

probation of his courtesy whilst they were
visiting the camps under his command.
have had no opportunity of doing so. The
General is now nearly ten years older, and
many years wiser, than when he wrote his
remarks on our army-in the Crimea and
as he has come over to study the progress
OF arms and military matters in Enrope, as
well as for the private reasons of which we
regret to hear. He will do we'll, perhaps,
to look little closely into the system un-
der which larger army than that ofany

when he has. mastered the details of the
elaborate machinery of Horse Guards, War

When the youthful captain of engineers

NEW YoRK, Feb. "a According to the
HeraId's correspondent, the surprise of a
detachment Of Sheridan's cavalry by par

Mr.. Long, the peace democrat from Ohio,
called on the President. When about to
leave he told Mr.. Lincoluthat what he had
said of him in his speech last winter was
meant only in q politiOalsense. The Pres.
dent thanked him for his kind feeling, and
said he ecould'nt better express his feelings
than by telling of a story told by distin-
guished politician of his State, Judge Ed
wards, who, in an exciting political cam
paign, held discussions with his opponent.
After the campaign had ended, the judges
opponent explained to him that all the
harsh things he had said of him were not
personal at all, but that he had been OBJ.
liged to use them in his discussions to
make the best of them. The judge thank
ed him for his explanation, but assured
him he was ignorant that anything had
ever been said of him. Mr.. Long was
crushed, but says that the President, in his
biguess of heart, came to his rescue in
this wise: "Now, Mr.. Long," said Abra-

It's, We believe. the common belief Of all the
European residents ia the United States that no
country of Europe has ever witnessed ANYTHING
approaching the exhibition OF mourning through
out the United States on the death of President
Lincoln. The funeral services in British Amer
lea are no less remarkable. There is probably
no precedent in the worlds history OF a whole
country paying such tribute OF honor to the mem
DRY of the dead of foreign nation. In almost
every town of Canada the places OF business
were closed on Wednesday from II to 2: the
churches were thronged for the celebration of
the funeral rites; public buildings and private
houses were largely dreped in mourning. and all
voices united in the manifestation Of grief at the
loss sustained By the United States and Of hor-
