De Rudio's Long watch.

From war like that with the Indians Of
the Northwest instances of personal daring
and startling adventure are sure to come ont
in greater proportion than in a war between
civilized nations conducted on grand scale
and according to laws that recognize limit
to slaughter. In the latter case individuality
becomes lost in the immense masses that COM
bat in extended lines of battle. It is diff
cult for any one below corps commander to
achieve worldwide distinction or for any
one below brigade commander to gain
national renown. There have been excep-
tions, of course, but they do not shake the
rule. The letter from Lieutenant De Rudio.
which we print elsewhere, describing the
adventures of himself, Private O'Neil
and Gerard, the interpreter, when cut off
from Reno's command in its enforced re-
throughout, and fit to stand beside the letter
of Mr.. Finerty, describing Lieutenant Sib-
leys perilous scout and the courage and re-
sources of brave Frank Grouard. To have
experienced, as the actors in both these adj
ventures did, the feeling of desperation
which the near presence of death alone can
bring, gives their stories wonderful inter-
est. BY their light we are enabled to SEQ
more closely the savage and pitiless nature
of the foes who personified death to them.
That picture of the four squaws scalping
the dying soldier within few feet of where
De Rudio lay is in itself a revelation of sav-
agery which the Wholesale massacre of Gus
ter's troops fails to give us. Against supe-
rior force of such barbarians we have pitted
little more than handful of our troops, and
it is not wonderful that every hour of wait
ing for news is filled with anxiety.

Governor Chamberlain can rely upon the
prestige Of reputed successful administra-

President Grant, and he can control the
courts and juries in the State which he is
governing 1t is in the face of all these dis
advantages, and of the sudden popular pref
udice and indignation which has been ex-
cited against himself, that Mr.. Butler

We cannot be too often reminded Of the
injustice of hasty conclusions in regard to
events which may be enormously reported

lima, should be we'll considered and based

FORE express any judgment as to the position
of Governor Chamberlain; yet the tone of
the Southern press and the attitude of the
population of South Carolina have demon
strated the fact that his letter to Senator
Robertson and his visit to the White House
were unnecessary There was no obstacle
to his remaining at the post of duty, and
his application for federal interference at
this particular time can only be explained
by a reference to the Presidential contest or
to the combinations Of ambitious politicians.

THosB LETTERS. Major General Tilden,
of the Canal corps, and Brigadier General
Hendricks, of the Greenback militia, have
displayed heroism and courtesy not sur
passd by that of the commander Of the Old
Guard, who advanced toward the enemy,
and, saluting with his sword, said. Gentle
men, please fire first" General Hayes and
Colonel Wheeler (of what regiment we are
not informed) accepted the challenge. and
have blazed away with the one term how
itzer, the civil service reform battery and
the great gun which is called the Southern
Pacificator. The enemy calamity received
the fire, but have prudently concealed the
number Of their wounded. Now 1t is Gen.
eral Tilden's turn to bring his columbiad Of
purity to bear on the foe and to blaze away
with the democratic Krupp gun of reform
upon the earthworks Of republican corrup-
ton. Too much courtesy to the enemy in a
campaign might lose the battle. We reluc-
family take the liberty of reminding General

SrRvIA.-The news from Servia indicates
that unless the Russians interfere there will
be collapse of the insurrection against
Turkey. We have always felt that Servia
was the head of the lance that was to pierce
Turkey, and that in the end Russia would
be the body of the lance. 1t may prove to
be so now. But if Russia permits Servia to
be defeated the lance head will be snapped
off and the shaft will be useless instru-

MONTENEGRO, which had, according to
recent kilograms. sustained q severe defeat
at the hands of the Turks, has, as we see
from a special cable despatch to the HERALD,
turned the tables by laying an ambush for
the victorious Moslems, routing them and
capturing Osman Pacha. This Osman can
scarcely be the one spoken of as recently
leading the Turkish forces on the northeast
of Servia ; but he is evidently man of note.

end suddenly. vigorous administrators
and an out-and-out Moslem as Ahmed is
represented to be may, from his very

difference is that, with an able Sultan, Tur-

The OCEAN YACHT RAcE.-Wind and wave
coalesced to give the lovers of yachting.a
splendid struggle in the race for the Ben

race to give an edge to the desire for deep
sea yachting which has become so blunted
under the influence of land-hugging cruises.
The Idler's victory was handsome one,
and her run magnificent. The WandereI
also made a fine race, and the stanch
old America, in spite of her mishap, did
admirably. We should be sorry indeed to
Judge the Canadian yacht, Countess of
Dufferin, by her performance in this race,
