conspicuous, although Generals ManteGel,
Marstem, and one or two Others are regarded
as officers of ability. General Alranselben is
an officer of skill also. 1t is impossible, how

The International Yacht Race-..Thc
Start.

The stay of the yachts at Queenstown end
ed most pleasantly with the brilliant start
to-day. In honor of the anniversary of the
Declaration of American Independence and
of the departure of the yachts, all the ships
afloat were bedecked with their brightest col
ors. At least dozen large excursion steam
ers piled briskly and noisily to:and fro, some
laden so heavily with human freight as to do
away quite with recolectons of oyercrowded
boats in younger England. Everything was
in readiness on both yachts, towards noon.
Half an hour later tug took charge of each
boat, the anchors were weighed and the har-
Dor was quilted. The real enthusiasm of the
demonstration, of which the American Yacht
was the object, coutrasted strongly with the
disregard shown the master of her rival. The
riverside streets were lined with spectators
waving hats and handkerchiefs, the decks of
the ships of war were crowded with cheering
tars, all the steam whistles were blown, all
the flags were hoisted as the Dauntless
moved outward toward Daunt Rock. The
American colors saluted the American colors

Tuesday Morning, July 10. 1870.


In this age less than ever before is war an
affair of brute force. In every successive
epoch generalship plays more and more inn
portant part in military operations. We give
below from the sources available TO us some
account of the men at the head of the two
belligerent nations.
Louis Napoleon was born in 1908 and is
therefore sixty-two years of age. Before as
cending the throne he never displayed talents
above mediocrity. As a ruler however he has
until recently shown no ordinary skill in rid
ing upon the stormy elemen. in French socie-
ty. His military undertakings have generally
been successful, and though he has never
shown the brilliant genius, Or gained the bril-
liant successes of the first Napoleon, he has
avoided the gigantic failures of the latter.
His main advantage over his uncle has been,
not in any superiority OF his genius, flor he is
inferior) but in having more correct esti-
mate OF his powers. For some years past he
has not shown the sagacity which marked the
earlier years Of his reign, and has failed to
maintain his former prestige. 1t remains to
be seen whether, like his uncle, he has not at
last "tempted fortune too far" The powers
of the first emperor declined during the later
portion of his reign, and dissipation and
vicious excuses have done their work on the
nephew far more effectually than incessant
exertion did upon the uncle. Whether the
success of his Italian campaign was due to his
strategy, or to the ability of his subordinate
officers it is impossible to say.
King William of Prussia, though not a
great soldier, is man of unquestioned
bravery, and the inspiration of his presence
contributed in no slight degree to the decisive
victory of Sadowa. He was born in 1907 and
is therefore seventy.three years old. He sue
ceeded his brother as King of Prussia in 1860.
Bismarck, the real sovereign of Prussia, is
fifty-seven years of age having been born in
1918. He began to be a man of mark some
time before the war of 1866, and shrewd OBJ
servers saw in him the elements of greatness.
The conservatives looked to him as a man
competent to stay the progress of liberal
movements in Europe. His devotion to Ger
man unity has however at times secured him
the support of the liberals. His exertions be-
fore and since the campaign of 1866 have Sc
riously impaired his originally vigorous con-
stitution, so that he is no longer the man he
was. 1t is said he rarely slept more than five
hours daily for three years preceding 1866,
and his labors have been ever more exhaust
ing since. His great vitality and indemitable
energy however, will probably enable him for
a time at least to get the mastery of nature.
At this junction his country is greatly in need
of his ORIGINATING intellect and iron energy.

ers is given in another part of the paper

THE TORNADO IN ORRINGToN.-The Ban

w
of the late terrible tornado in Orrington:
The road from Brewer Village to East Or
rington, after reaching the track of the hail
and wind, is scene of desolation. Fields Of
corn and grain are entirely DESTROYED, leaving
nothing but stubble to show that growing
crop had once been there Barns are unroof-
ed, windows demolished, and even the trees,
on the side from which the wind came, are
stripped of their foliage.
On the road leading from East Orrineton by
Fields Pond, the change is still greater. We
took no account of barns blown down, but
should think there must have been at least
thirty on that road. The house of Thomas
Curran, on the banks of Fields Pond, was I'M
rooted, and the debris was scattered through
the fields for space of FORTY rods. He was in
the house with his wife and six children, and
their escape was miraculous. The house of
Barker Curran, near by, was also unroofed,
and the furniture, &c, scattered about the
fields. Four persons were in the house, and
two of them were considerably bruised. Mr..
Curran was in the barn, and in attempting to
close the barn door, his hands were pounded
by the hail-stones until they were dotted with
black and blue spots.
The house of Horace Field was also I'M
rooted. Mr.. Field was not at home, and his
wife was in the house with three children.

the fields. Immediately after, the chimney
blew down, filling the sitting-room with pile
of ruins. Fortunately, the family were in the
entry, and were unframed. They attempted
to leave the partially-demolished house, but
were frustrated by the almost solid body Of
ice which was falling in the shape OF hail
stones, many of them as large as grapes and
returned to the house, as they in their fear
thought to die. Fortunately, the walls of the
house stood, and they suffered no personal
danger. All the furniture was scattered and
broken. Further on house was blown en-
tirely down. In it were man, his wife and
four children. The house, above the first floor
was lifted by the wind and turned completely
over, leaving them unframed on the lower
floor, although they were afterwards injured
considerably by the falling hail stones.
We noticed no other demolished houses,
but the road is strewn with lumber from barns
and fences, and broken and uprooted trees are
to be seen on every side.
The losses are quite heavy, in damaged
buildings and crops, and in many cases falls
on persons lily able to sustain them. In one
neighborhood the loss in broken glass will be
more than two thousand panes, besides other
damage. And this was the case wherever this
storm cloud visited.

from Daunt Rock, and the route tbithel is a
triumphant one to follow. Commander Ben
nett is on deck, and the lew minutes left him
in sight OF land are wholly occupied with re.

Outside the harbor, the breeze freshens. 1t

Daunt Rock-the spot where three or four
years ago the City OF New York was wrecked
and close to the bell-buoy is gun boat,
whence the signal to start is to be given. At
9 IL o'clock the first of the two guns is heard
and two minutes later the second is fired.
Henceforward every second is precious. The

set. The racing colOrs borne off by the He'll
rietta in the first ocean yacht-race are hOisted
over the DauntlesS, and her mainsail, foresail
and flying jibs are set. There is more cheer
ing and renewed vigor displayed in the wav-
ing Of handkerchiels, as the two yachts bound
away. Then slight fog enwraps and half
cOnceas them. The escort attends them half
an hour longer, the yachts becoming more

was sleeping in an adjoining room, and Hoag,
fearing her screams, ran in and finished his

MIR. FRELINGHUYsEN of New jersey, our
new minister to England, is a son of the emf
nent statesman Theodore Frelinghuysen. He
was admitted to the bar in 1889, and early
achieved distinction. In 1861 he was an
pointed by Gov. Olden Attorney General of
New Jersey, in which position he performed
valuable service. In 1866 he was appointed
by Gov. Ward to fill an unexpired term in the
United States Senate made vacant by the
death Of Hon. William Wright Being after
wards elected TO the position by the legisla-
ture he served in the Senate till 1869 when
. the Democrats having gained the ascendancy
in the legislature he was succeeded by Hon.
John Z. Stockton. In every position he has
thus far occupied, Mr.. Frelinghuysen has dis
charged his duties with conscientious fidelity.
AS to the reasons for Mr.. Motley's removal,
Mr.. Crounse, the Washington correspondent
Of the Times, writes; "As it has been freely
stated, both publicly and privately, that the
President removed Mr.. Motley in order to
revenge himself on Mr.. Sumner for the lat
ter's opposition to the San Domingo treaty. it
is proper, though hardly necessary, to state
some facts in connection with the matter,
WHICH, VIII SHOW now ABSURD such statements
are. When Mr.. Motley left here for England
he received instructions on the principal 9ues.
ton at issue between the two governments.
which instructions were not in consonance
with certain views expressed by Mr.. Motley
prior to his departure, and which views had
been disapproved when they were first made
known. On his arrival in England Mr.. Mot
ley submitted to Lord Clarendon the views
which had been disapproved here, and omit
ted to submit the views which had been i'm
pressed upon him by his government. This
produced feeling of dissatisfaction here. and
from that moment the question of his recall
has been simply q question of. time. he has
been allowed to, remain from considerations of
a:peTsonal character among which the perma.
nent nature Of his domestic arrangements has
been one. Some time since he was informed
that his resignation would be accepted, and
&c was requested to answer by cable. To this
MI. Motley made no answer whatever. Sub
sequently an answer was again asked fer,
when he declined finally to resign. The ORIG,
mai request for his resignation was made long
enough before Mr.. Frelinghysen's appoint,
ment to have enabled Mr.. Motley to have of.

In Europe where trained soldiery is kept
always ready for active hostilities, a contes.
will of course, other things being equal, be de-
cided much sooner than in a nation unpre-
pared for war, as we were at the breaking out
Of the Rebellion. A great amount of time
had 10 be exhausted in organizing our forces.
The present, like all the recent Egr9peap
less it assumes magnitude at present unfore-
seen. The destructive agencies of modern
warfare do their work quickly. The Crimean
war lasted less than two years; the Italian
war of 1859 only about ten weeks; the
Schleswick-Holstein war of 1864 but about
twenty-five weeks. The German Italian war
OF 1866 was decided In five aueeks Hence we
need not be surprised to see the map of Eu-
rope considerably changed in a short space of
time.
