The recent war between the North
and South have developed military ge-
MUS which would have slumbered on
forever if the emergency had not call
ed it forth. The mighty waters surg
ed up names that will live forever
Robert f. Lee is one of them His
fame burst upon the world with sud
den splendor, but it will never fade
from the galaxy Of greatness. The
Montreal, Canada, Telegraph, in
speaking of General Lee, says: Pos
terity will rank General Lee above
even Wellington or Napoleon, above
SAKE or Turenne, above Marlborough
or Frederick, before Alexander OF
Caesar. Careful of the lives of his
men, fertile in resource, a profound
tactician, gifted with the swift intui-
ton which enables a commander tC
discern the purposes of his enemy
and the power of rapid combination
which enables him to oppose TO it ;
prompt resistance; modest, frugal
self-denying, void of arrogance OF
assertion, trusting nothing tC
chance; among men, noble as the o
blest, in the lofty dignity of a chris
tan gentleman; among patriots less
self-seeking, and as pure as Washing
ton; and among soldiers combining
the religious simplicity of Havelock
with the genius of Napoleon, the he
roism Of Bayard and Sydney, and the
untiring, never-faltering duty of Wei
lington. In fact, Robert E. Lee, O
Virginia, is the greatest General o
this or any other age, He has made
his own name, and the Confederacy hi
served immortal"

~ After our own great struggle,
we can look on the present European
war with composure amounting al
most to indifference Prussia and
Austria, especially Prussia, are pound
ing each other in a.style that must
carry delight to the hearts of military
geniuses. Prussia, at our latest advices
has most decided advantage in the
mere fighting, but battles and diplo-
macy, are so inseparablp connected in
European politics and war, that we,
from our experience under repubh-
can government, can have but little
idea of the influences affecting the in
ception or the conclusion of wars or
campaigns. The great silent forces
that move the chess men upon the
chequered board of European politics,
are sometimes only understood after
the death of the sovereigns who seek

war, armies were to be raised, equip

purpose of each party could be fully
understood, but we see in the ar
mics of Prussia and Austria, bodies of
men who have been in training for
years, for the single purpose of war, led
by skillful and experienced officers,
we almost smile at their caution.
The oldest field officer in the world,
commands the Prussian advance.
Old field marshal Wrangel, whom
Benedek, the Austrian Chief affects to
despise, is now ninety years of age. He
fought against Napoleon in some of
the great Continental campaigns, and
commanded the Prussian Contingent in
the late operations against Denmark.
From present indications, Austria
will find that catching Prussian, is
synonymous with having caught a

CLEVER BoYs.-The Saturday Re
view says that in the biographies OF
distinguished men we find that few OF
them at school or at college gave signs
Of their future power. The Pail Mall
Gazette denies this statement Pitt,
having done well in Cambridge, was
in office at twenty one, and was Prime
Minister at twenty-four. Fox begun
his political career, and was already
in actual power in the House of Com
mons at the same youthful age Burke
began his essay on the Sublime and
Beautiful at the age of nineteen
Canning was the most distinguished
boy of his time, at Eton. So also was
the great Marquis Wellesley. The
late Sir Robert Peel was the first man
who took double first-class prize at
Oxford. DR.. Whewelr s success in the
schools at Cambridge was as marked
as his future career Mr. Gladstone,
was, beyond comparison, the most dis
tinguished man of his time while an
undergraduate of Christ Church, and
he left Oxford with the highest repu-
tation for ability, sincerity and orato-
rical gifts Sir Rounded Palmer was
one of the best of his years at Oxford,
and, like Mr. Lowe, was man pointed
out by university opinion as a man
who must undoubtedly win a high
place in life. The same was the case
with Mr. Goschen, who took his de
gree with unusual distinction"
