TnK LIBERAL REpUDLIcASs.-At the
Liberal Republican conference in New
York.. on Friday last. there was large
attendance of Influential men. After O
full discussion, General John Cochrane
spoke as follows:

Administration that waa rotten. Shall
We now return to it2 The Democratic
party was induced to accept tho platform
We adopted. Shall we now forsake it?
We saw and proclaimed tho evils of party
government. Shall we now, falling into
partisan measures, renew the very evils
Of which we complained? Let US abide
by our principles-principles approved
by the recent most deplorable experience
in public affairs-principles embalmed
with tire memory and sanctifed by the
martyrdom of Horace Greeley. We were
defeated, but our cause survives. What,
then, is the lesson of duty? TO create
events. exceeds the power OF man. His
best wisdom is to follow them. Events
are busy dissolving the decayed parties
Of the past. We joyfully acquiesce.
Events are no less busy with the for QUA
ton Of the parties OF the future. Let us
await their work. Foreseeing the neces-
stiles OF government. We announced the
principles which necessarily underlie
events. The heritage of events must,
therefore, as necessarily be ours-ours in

A PossIBLE EA1PERoR The presence
OF Prince Jerome Bonapa-te in Paris,

excites the curit s'ty OF Frenchmen as

made an explanation of them. France,
he says, is entitled to the right Of choos-

soon as the foreigners leave the soil. He
demands plebiscits. at which the people
shall not only decide whether they will
have republic, kingdom or on en-
pire, but shall name the man who must
be at the head Of the Government. This
undoubtedly means that Prince Jerome
would enter the field as O candidate for
the Presidency. It is the only road open
to the qualification of his ambition. The
Prince Imperial blocks his way at the
head Of the empire. He has, therefore.

MILITARY EDUCATION IN THE South
ND NoRrH. 1T ie. wa believe. a remark.

MILITARY EDUCATION IN THE South
AND NoRTH.--I is, We believe. remark
able fact. that there seem more youths
In the Southern States receiving military
eduoations than in the Northern States.
There are very few private military insti-
tutions in the Northern States. West
Point, therefore. embraces a larger num-
ber OF the youth who receive military
educations at the North. We see in an
account OF the proceedings which took
place at West Poias, tgraoed with the
President and Secretary of War; there
were but forty-one graduates. We are
satisfied that there ore several times as
many graduates. this year, from the diff
ferent military Institutions in the South
ern States. The military institution at
Lexington. Va, alone. vies with West
Point in the number of its graduates.
There always has been in our Southern
youth greater propensity for military
education than in the youth Of the
North. The. reason might be. that the
Northern people cherished most trade
and oommerce; but the Southern peo-
pie. being almost exclusively agricul-
tural in their pursuits-raised to the
horse and gun-looked to military life as
more ccngenial to their pursuits and
tastes. Hence, before the late war, al
most every State; in the South had a
military institution, whilst there we're a
great number OF private institutions of a
similar character, Reconstruction wiped

The battle of ..Muzzey,. brook, >,

After the speech-making was over at
Camp Doubleday, on Thursday, and the
several brigades had returned to their re-
spective quarters, n ''speck of war" was
INDUCED in by the Third and Fourth Brig
AIDES. The contest was spirited to say the
least, and the boys on both sides went into
the fray with coats off and sleeves rolled
up, ready for hot work. The battle com
menced in this wise The cannon that had
belched forth war throughout the two
days, was located in the vicinity of the
camp of the 4th Brigade, and at this time
stood speechless while the members of that
brigade were preparing for supper. The
Third Brigade boys, inspired with the love
of adventure, formed themselves into line
under command of Col. Salisbury, marched
across the field, and quietly took possession
of the cannon almost before the boys near
by were appraised of it. They hauled
it across the brook, up on to the hill before
their quarters, loaded ii and fired
salute, with the utmost impu-
dencc, their band meanwhile play
ing Yankee Doodle About this
time the 4th boys came to a knowledge of
what had been done, and all was excite
ment in their camp. A squad of fifty was
quickly formed under lead of Lieut.. w. b.
Perrin of the old Third Vt. Battery, and
a charge was made in the double quick ON
the enemy's works. They found the gun
tied by big rope to tree, and for that
they started. But the 3D. brigade were not
caught mapping, and as the squad came up,
general hearty tussle was had for the
gun, ending in the 4th squad being taken
prisoners-the 3D. brigade winding then up
with the rope attached to the gun so they
were obliged to yield. BY this time the
whole fourth brigade was in the enemy's
camp prepared to do or die in defence of
their honor as soldiers The third brigade
had torn up the bridge over Muzzeys
brook. The Fourth boys then spiked
the gun and left II took the
wheels, with them and the calsson
and ramrod they started for their own
quarters The gun could not be fired and
was now of no use to either party. The
spoils were now hoplessly divided. The
third brigade had had their little fun and
both sides were well tired out A flag of
truce was then shown on both sides,a COM
promise was effected, the cannon was
brought over to its original position, its Or
naments were restored and peace and good
will reigned supreme.

Yankee Strategy.

At the battle of Rappahannock Station,
after the 9TH Maine had gained possession
of the works in their front, and were taking
a whole brigade of Jonnies to the rear, Col
Edwards who was one of the first to reach
the rihe.p pits, took few men from company
G and pressed on in quest of prisoners.
suppos!ng some might be trying to get
away in the darkness of the night ollow-
ing the line of Notifications down towards
the river, he saw before him long line of
troops lin the rihe-pits. Finding that he
was in slight fix, he determined to put on
a bold face.
"Where is the officer in command of
these troops?" demanded the gallant Col
onel.
"Here!" answered Colonel who was
commanding rebel brigade; 'and who
are you, sirI'
"My name is Colonel Edwards, of the
9TH Maine, and demand you to surrender
your company"

piled the rebel officer.
"Not moment will | allow, SIR" said
Colonel Edwards. "DOnt you see my
column advancing" (pointng to large
body of men marching over the hill, but
who were the rebel prisoners being marched
to the rear). "Your forces on the righi
have all been captured and your retreat i,

tated, he continues Forward; 9Th

''Yes, sir" replied Colonel Edwards,
"but will take the swords of those officers

They were handed to him.
"Now order your men to lay down Their
arms, and to pass to the rear with this

They obeyed, and the whole brigade OF

among them, permitted themselves to be
disarmed and marched to the rear as priso-
ners of war, by Colonel Edwards and less
than dozen men of his regiment.

The third annual report of Gen. Eaton,
commissioner of education, just issued, con-
sists of about 1000 pages of interesting in
struction about educational matters, and
contains several maps, copied from the
census of 1870, intended to show the advan-
tagcs of education. Several other tables
arc taken from the census, one of which
shows of the total male adults in 1870, o.
ii300l, there we're 100, JAP male adults
illiterate; and that of the adult female pop
ulation, 5000, 900; 2,00G,Ol0 were of the
illitcratc class. This gives percentage of
male illtcrate adults, of the total number
Of adults of 1915, and of females 23.0j
A table of public school expenditures in the
States, per capita, shows that Massachu-
sets expends the largest amount, 500 o.,
and that Nevada comes next with Sl9.S9.3.
The amounts paid in other States range
from G2.4 in North Coroina, to S12 .33 in
California The advance and progress in
education was most marked in New Eng
land, Middle and Western States. There
were Sll academies in the United States,
with an aggregate attendance of 90, 500, and
POS institutions reporting to the Bureau
that classed themselves as colleges. OF
these three reported only preparatory stu
dents; 2l7 reported collegiate students.
The 2l7 colleges reported 1920 students
in the collegiate course, of whom 1919 were
females. The institutions for the superior
education Of females were 175, with 1917
instructors, of whom 40 were males
and llGS females, and l2,2Ss students.
The commissioner calls attention to the
lack ofproper veterinary instruction in the
United States, and says the epidemic which
lately visited the horses, which represent
100000 or $4,000, 600 of our property,
aroused the public mind to the necessity o.
a class of well educated veterinary surge

After free discussion and mutual con-

to have regimental organization at the
next general reunion. Gen. Ripley was
appointed commander, and the details for
the occasion were left with him. They
greeted their first commander enthusiastic
ally, and as he retired gave him three old
fashioned cheers and a tiger
Three cheers were also given for General
Ripley and Colonel stowell. A pleasant
episode was the introduction to the meet
ing OF the Sherman Band by one of its
members RID Wheeler of Co II. They
gave some of their finest music and were
appropriately addressed by Gen Ripley, and
received three rousing cheers from the boys
of the Ninth.
The meeting was decided success and
demonstrated the fact that much more en-
thusiasm will be ELECTED by regimental Or
CARNATIONS at the future state reunions
than by mixed organizations.
