The Washington Star efectually refutes
Gen. Longstreets lately published assertions
that had Gen. Lee taken his advice the battle
of Gettysburg would not have been lost, by
saying:
"Thc impression existed at the time General
Lee left Fredericksburg on his northward
march that his objective point was Washing
ton, and that he would take advantage OF the
first opportunity to reach this city. The two
armies marched on parallel lines until they
nearcd Gettysburg, when these lines began
converging until they clashed in the roar OF q
great battle or q series of battles at the point
named. The line of march Of the Union army
from Fredericksburg was governed as matter
of course by the movements of the enemy, es-
pecial care being taken to continually keep be-
tween Gen. Lees army and Washington. AT
no time during that exciting march could Lee
have thrown bis army on Washington without
risking general engagement with the Union
forces, nor could he by any possible means
have thrown himself in tho rear of General
Mcadc's army alter the second days fight at
Gettysburg"

A TERRIBLE SYsTEM.-Wc read an inter-
esting account of the "silcDt system which is
in operation at the Holloway model prison in
London. 1t isau offeasc for a prisoner to speak
one word, and he is never addressed except in
whispers so that he may be in prison two years
without hearing the natural sound of the hui
man voice. The effect of this is SO terrible on
the mind that prisoners will speak out in des-
peration, at the risk of any punishment, rather
than endure that horrible silence. They never
sec one another, but remain in perpetual soll-
tude. There is 6ue hole in each cell, and as
the wardcns wear India rubber soles they can
never be sure of being unmatched. Every day
the prisoners are taken to chapel so arranged
that they can sec no Que save the chaplain, and
him only through an iron grating. And thus
is the order OF devotion observed. Wardens
are constantly on the watch, lest for single In
slant they through the whole ofthe service, de-
part from the rigid rule Of ''eyes right. They
must look steadfastly at the preacher; must
raise and lower their prayer book with the el-
bows squared, and all at once, like soldiers at
drill. They may noe scrape their feet without
having afterward to explain the movement.
They scarcely wink al eye or sigh without dan
ger of rebuke or punishment

The War In the East-An Armistice


1t has been determined that Turkey
shall grant an armistice for six months,
and there is no reason to doubt that this
determination will be accepted by Servia
or that it will be ratified by the great
powers. If there is TO be a European war,
therefore, it follows that it will be in the
spring, when great armies can move with
CELEBRITY and effect The next question is
whether the great States most Interested
in this struggle, as Russia. will cease their
warlike preparations. Ii Russia contin-
ues TO prepare for war England will be
forced to do the samething, and 1t is not
likely that 1.-THE busy note OF preparation
which the kilograms report as heard IN the
southern limits of the Cars dOminions,
will stop. 1t will not be an inexpensive
luxury for the Emperor of Russia TO as
sumo all the lines of railway that can be
used to move troops toward the line of
the south, and be ready to move them
should the armislice be broken or should
European war result at its expiration.
TO be ready at all times is Russia safety.
and it is perhaps the best guarantee ofthe
peace oil Europe. To Russian preparation
more than to any other cause is the ar
mistice due, and it is to the aid and SYM
patty she has so far extended to Servia
that IA European war has been averted.
To see the day when the Russian stand
ard may be borne beyond the Turkish
frontier without involving a war between
Russia and any great European power Is a
triumph of Russian patience aud policy,
and tact sufficient to crown with Il halo
OF National glory the reign Of the empe-
ror in whose lifetime the event occurs. 1t
is strange that this glory, 50 often dashed
aside in the reign OF resOlute, ambitious
aud warike rulers, should almost be
thrust upon the emperor who, of all Rus
sian sovereigns, has the most persistently
adhered to peaceful oicy on all occa-
sons. But the triumph OF Russia on this
occasion practically flows from her peace
policy. 1t is a result of her "masterv
inactivity" 1t has been often noted in
war that the greatest successes are less
trt quently due to the genius of the trium-
phant commander than TO the plumbers of
his enemy; and the same thing is true in
diplomacy. England has always been
the head and front OF every European CO.
aliton that opposed the application of
Russian force to the settlement OF diff
cultes connected with the presence of the
Mosems in Europe but in the present
case the incalculabe blunders OF the Brit
lsh ministry have opened the way into
Turkey to the Russian troops whenever
they choose to march into the Ottoman
empire, and it is only the armstce which
has been agreed upon that will keep the
forces of the Car off Turkish soil until
the spring i NeW York Herald.
