competency and qualifications Of Sergt.
Russell aud Corp. Newell the two con-
testants for the vacancy Of Cd Lieut.. in

We wish through your columns to
express our unqualified appreciation OF
the sentiments expressed by the slgners,
regarding the fitness of Sergeant Rus
sell for the position of 81 1t. 1t is a
we'll known fact that he has done more
to promote the effieiecy and good stand

it. He is second to none as drill mas
ter, as the entire Co. can testify. and
We wish TO express the opinion that
there is no, better qualified or more
capable man in the Co.. nor one that
would do more to promote the best IN
lerests of the Co. than Sergt. Russell.
We fully agree with them when they
express themselves competent TO choose
their own officers, and would rejoice to
know that they succeed IN this case.

General Aspect Of Affairs.

A general survey of the condition of
things throughout the world; or at least
in Europe and America, does not i'm
press one with the idea of the stability
of affairs. or the permanency of the
present order of rule and power.
England is in turmoil. The Parlia-
ment about TO expire has failed to meet
the public expectation on the questions
Of reform now agitated in that country.
1t has passed vote of censure on the
government; so that there is censure all
around-no confidence, no unity, no
cordiaiity anywhere, and but for servility
of the lower classes, who are taught
from their infancy 10 regard liyeried
dust with something skin 10 reverance
there would be revolution and anarchy
there, or an overthrow of royal and
aris.ocratic rule. But in no nation un-
der heaven, probably, is there as much
of the lord and the snob as in England.
The masses almost lick the dust of the
feet of the nobility; and are absolutely
abject in the Difference they pay to my
lord and my lady, Until this feeling
is removed, reform will grow slowly in
Britain. A few noble souls are doing
all they can to break the shackles, but
the progress made is by no means en-
couraging as compared with other coun-
Ties; but the work is surely going on.
and truth. right, and liberty must pre-
vail in the end. Just now the cauldron
is boiling.
In France by recent election. dis
trict has been carried against Napoleon
by 1000 majority, where, before, there
was hardly any opposition. This shows
the Emperor of the French that his pol
icy is yebuked. This result was achie-
we'd in the face of all the patronage and
espionage Of the government. 1t is a
denunciation OF the interference in
Mexican affairs, and it may be def
ance hurled at the head Of Bonaparte.
Evidently France is ripening for an
other revelation.
Between MaximilIian and our gov
ernment there IS every appearance Of a
breach. Things cannot remain as they
