Fighting the Battles Over.

From the World.
General Buell's letter to General Grant, giving
facts and official documents not heretofore pub
lished respecting the battle of Shiloh, or, as it
was first called, Pittsburg Landing, will attract
as it deserves good deal of attention. There
has been some confusion in te public mind
touching the precise state of the facts previous
to and during this important conflict, which this
statement will serve to clear up. All candid
men must admit, after reading this letter, that
General Buell. establishes by official kilograms
the following points,
/. That he General Buell) was not tardy in
the overland march OF his army to Savannah, as
he arrived sooner than he was expected by
General Grant.
2. THAT but for the timely arrival OF General
Buells command, the second days fight would
have resulted dIsastrously for what was lett Of
the Union forces under command OF General
Grant.
The publications by general officers since the
close OF the war Will be q great help to the
future historian of our civil conflict. The re-
ports of our leading generals speak for them
selves. To settle disputed points or to vindicate
military regulations, We have also had letters
and statements from Generals like Gilmore
Franklin Buell., Warren, Sheridan, Early, and
. Others Colonel Bowman's march to the Sea-
of Sherman, and General Lees forthcoming
account of his campaigns will also be considered
important contributions to history.
1t is quite time that some Justice was done to
the generals who led the Union armies IN the
first two years of the war. The indecisive bat
ties they fought were what broke the strength
of the South. The Northern armies were the
weakest and the Southern armies the strongest
at the beginning of the war. At first the North
ern armies lacked in numbers, discipline, expert
ence and material of war. The minor officers we're
all green and generally incompetent These disad-
vantages soon told, as the Union army, from the
nature OF the conflict, was the attacking party,
I.T.-
zation became Immediately apparent. The par
tial failure to meet the extravagant expectations
of the public which resulted brought undeserved
discredit upon military leaders ofquite as much
natural capacity as those who finally brought
the war to successful conclusion. History, no
doubt, will set this matter right.

The English reform Bill.

From the DaSly NetOs.
The Reform bill is the subject Of the hour in
political circles in England. Extending the
franchise to q considerable BREADTH as that
measure proposes to do, it enlists many OF the
old feelings which have divided English classes.
Earl Grosvernor's resolution will, if successful.
involve not only the defeat of the bill, but &C
cording to the constitutional usage OF the House
of Commons, will force the Ministry either to
accept the vote, by resignation, as declara-
tion of want of confidence" or to appeal from
1t to the country. The conservative Journals
assert, with great confidence, that the Grosvenor
amendment will pc carried; while, on the other
hand, the Liberal papers insist that the Govern
ment will be sustained.
AT this distance, il is impossible to say which
OF these results is the more likely; but, mas
much as threats appear to have been uttered by
the Premier that, If he be not sustained, he win
dissolve Parliament we may conclude that he
looks upon the trial with apprehension. Tho
threat to dissolve IS hint to weak members;
and one which, involving, if enforced, the ex-
penses, work, and hazards of a new election is
q very effective agency oil "whipping in" but
on that very account, is never employed save
only when held necessary to avert the danger
of defeat.

,Usurpation Threatened.

From the Tribune
The unchanged, vindictive Rebel who serves
the DAILY Ne1os in Washington, telegraphs on
the 4th as follows -
"The Peace Proclamation of the President will be
Immediately followed by other action on his part
1t will be observed that the legal effect OF the pro-
camatOn TO place the Southern States in the same
attitude precisely towards the General government
that they occupied teore the war, and entitled to
the same rights that they heretofore enjoyed. Mr.
to its legitimate conclusion, and to to it that the
Southern States are no longer deprived of their
rights by a factious majority IN Congress"
The Peace Proclamation of the President was
an act entirely within the scope of his powers
and duties. However wise or unwise, timely
or untimely, it is the Presidents prerogative to
determine when such a proclamation should
issue; and we should very deeply regret any
attempt by Congress to interfere with it. The
President is responsible only to the people tor
the exercise of his official discretion.
But the rights of Congress in the premises are
as important well defined, and unquestionsble
as those of the President; and neither must
ignore or usurp those of the other. Over and
again has the President officially set forth the
incontestable truth that Congress must pre-
scribe the conditions whereon the States lately
in revolt shall be restored to all the rights and
privileges they so rashly, culpably repudiated.
Those who would now urge the President to dis
regard and defy his own virtual pledges on this
point are neither his friends nor friends Of the
country.

HOW Dutch Gan Sol lts Name.

An Englshman and a Dutchnan, so the story
goes, undertook, for wager, to row their re-
specTive skiffs from place seven miles below
the Gap to a point above it. The man who
arrived first at the place OF destination was to
be considered the champion, and to receive the
stakes. Both started. The Englishman pulled
out vigorously, when the Dutchman, with true
Teutonic impertuTbability, suffered his opponent
to go ahead without any apparent effort to keep
up with him. When the Englishman began to
round the bluff, after passing the Gap, the Dutch
man was "hull DOWN and almost out of sight OF
his antagonist, who made ''sure thing OF it,"
When the Dutchman reached the Gap, he ran
his skiff on shore, raised it on his shoulders, and
made his way with all possible despatch across
the few hundred feet OF intervening space.
When the Englshman arrived at the point at
which the race was to terminate, what was his
astonishment to find his opponent in his skif,
calmly awaiting his appearance, having relieved
the WEAKNESS of his stay by smoking, with
Dutch leisure three or four pipes OF tobacco.

COMPILED Evlny DAY FOR EVENING TELEGRAPH
The Connecticut :. ReactiOn.r


From the Tribune.
The Copperhead papers are making great
boasts of what their allies in Connecticut could
or would 90, if the election we're to be held over
again to-day. They claim that great reaction
has been going in that State and that they only
wanted few days more to canvass, in order to
secure success.
The best commentary upon these ooastings
may be found in The result of a second election
which has just taken place in Middletown. On
Monday the vote stood 90 for Hawley and 935
Tor English; but only one Representative having
been chosen, second election has Just beeu
held, at which the Union candidate has been
elected over the other Representative (the town
being entitled to two)lby "a majority.
A similar gain throughout the State would
give o Union majority Of 5000; and there can
be little doubt that If an election should be held
in the State to-day, that would be about the
result.

England.

Some ofthe London journals urge such
precautionary measures for the preserva-
tinn Of order, not in Ireland, but in Eng
and itself, as to raise at least thought
whether Fenianism is the only danger
that confronts the British government
They demand strict scrutiny into the
extent of the Fenian organization in Eng
land, and that strong guards be pla ed
over all depots of arms and ammunition.
1t is possible this vigilance is designed
merely to foresfall and Illustrate any
movements that might be attempted by
the large Irish population domiciled in
England, and of which London contains
more that Dublin. But it is, also, possi-
BILE that under cover of looking after Fen
ians, which would be popular with the
bulk of Englishmen, some thing more is
intended. The champions of a liberal
suffrage, taking advantage of the difficult
culties which environ the government
and the aristocricy which it represents,
have become so bold as to abash the ru-
lers. The royal troops, hitherto vaunted
rs the instruments of repression, have
been withdrawn to their barracks, and
kept there, as the only means of prevent
ing an outbreak, the end of which could
not be divided. Whether any connection
actually exists between the Reform and
the Fenian movements, there is GER
tainly ground for apprehending that
co operrtion might be established
should serious collision occur of the
government forces with either of these
elements. Both are resolved to wiring
concessions of high Importance from the
crown. Any distress the government
may fall into is their common opportuni-
ty, and may bring them into alliance.
The ex-rebel Governors of the south
ern'States do not seem to be at all agreed
as to what shall be done with the negro.
For Instance, Gov, Worth of n North Car
olina wants him to emigratc North at the
expense of the Freedmen's Bureau, while
Gov, Orr OF South Carolina wants him
retained, and reccomends homestead
law for his ben fit An instructive COM
mentary upon Gov. Worth's clumsy
sncer at the Freedmen, as well as his
ideas ofpolitical economy, is furnished in
the fact that out of twenty four millions
acres of land in North Carolina, nearly
three fourihs arc covered with native
forests, while a large proportion of the
cleared land has been uncultivated for
years in consequence of the war. Were
the freedmen removed, almost tiyc-siXths
of the State would become wilderness.
In proposing such a step he shows that
he has learned nothing and forgot moth
ing.
