The Army OF the Potomac.

How responsive the country's heart to
that sublime thought of General Fairchild,
at the Boston Reunion: "To me the SOL
emn grandeur of that time Of sorrow, and
sacrifice, and high resolve seems more like
another ago and another Life than like
dream" But to that noble army, carried
over sea of dread defeats up to the sum-
mits of an ever-brightening success, tho
words speak with all the intensity of elo-
quence and feeling. No, it is not dream.
A dream is thing of sleep, and sleep is a
thing Of repose, not of intensest life and
action. And its picture galleries of life
aud thought are but faint outlines, dim
and shadowy reflections, at best, of life
that has gone before. D.
But it was the glory of those men to
have Invested life from sleep and made il a
continuous labor, and all that labor sacri-
fce That army's existence stretches,
indeed, along line Of only four years, but
their triumphal arch spans in point Of
great and enduring achievement the path
way of centuries. To such life of "sacri-
fee and high resolve" its participators will
always turn in thought, and its vividness
will sometimes pass it again, almost, before
the natural eye. To some, yes, to thou
sands of that band, sleep and its quiet
came, but it was the sleep Of soldiers
death, whose dreaming is not of earth.
1t is by such memories that loyal people
strike those finer chords of sympathy,
gratitude, and patriotism. Little by little
the sorrows of those long years die out in
the fuller, meaning of their joys. The
storm is passed, and we best see the silver
of its cloud.

THE Tammany wing of the Democracy
extract semi consolation from the defeat of
English for Governor of Connecticut, as it
efectually disposes of him as regards the
next Presidential nomination of their
party. English would have made for
midable competitor of Hoffman. He is
popular in his own State, which now ex-
erts considerable political influence, and
in all New England He has never been
involved in any of the disreputable legis-
lation of Erie, like the New York favor
lite, and would have been worry acceptable
to the honesty of his party.
