THE EMIGRATION PROSPECTS,
The general said. ''Hhe governments ar on
! posed to the enormous tide which l. iratg.u-
| away very industrious and euterpri~ug cias-
| Ci People; and a. communication Is 50 rapid,
| convenient and cheap, there is hardly vD4uy
| man even in remote parts OF Germany, in mod
| crate circumstances, who has nos an idea D! bet
| termg his fortunes IN the United States Again,
| with surplus rpulatOn, recruiting from vol
| U-'teeTS = an easy matter; but when vigorous
| young men can escape the CONSUMPTION the au-
| hOrites are naturally opposed 70 their Gcpar-
| ture. We found in war that drafted men
| uId % well as recruits; but ours was not az
| gressive war, whereas most OF these recent En-
| Topean brOIls were not for complete autonomy,
| but to crafty national vanity or TO test the
| military strength of the respective cOmbatantS.
| Drafted men lighting for union under such cir
| cumstsnces would do as well volunteers, but
| doubt that even patriots can stand against
| CONSUMPTION for aggressive purposes Then,
| again. the wealthy capitalist complains OF the
| high price of labor, and would desire TO makeit
| more plentiful. Emigration would be the anti
| dOte TO strikes. Ii the wOTkingmen would adopt
| some system of keeping their numbers down to
| a status of supply and demand by sort OF
emigrating CONSUMPTION good deaf OF misery
| might be Obviated and the labor market elevated
| TO more healthy tone"
| Speaking of
| THE PERSONNEL OF EUROPEAN ARMIES
| The General said he thought there is a. much
| intelligence among the rank and file a. IN tn,
| United States; but we consider here that one
| year makes very fair soldier, but in England
| they say IL takes Jour years to tgrn out cowna-
| tent man. The French are admirable. for AZ
| faculty OF making the most rapid rally after de-

| marked simplicity in manGuvres seems - d..
| pretty general. He thinks, however, that Eng

| OF more sOmbre and less conspicuous hue IL Sh,
| goes TO war with the irOn-clsd armies OF rba
| Continent. The French Zouaves in their pic
| tureSgue but unserviceahle uniforms were
| moved down as badly at Sedan as their New

ARMY IMPROVEMENTS.
| General Sherman said further " that the CON
| slant interchange OF ideas on military matters
| between the two countries, ami the presence
| here of EurOpean represeutativPs have in 4,
| measure made America and Europe familiar
| with respective improvements and inventions
| L noticed the cavalry corps of most countries
| was very large, but this may be accounted Tor
| Oh the ground that mOnarchies require so many
| household troops to parade on state occasions
| that they are more kept for ornament than use
| L notice the English set great account on the
| traditional British square to resist cayalTr
| but with breech-IOadeTs cavalry are incapahIe
OF attacking in anything like the relatively pro
