Lack Of Military Genius in England

A correspondent Of the Baltimore
Gazette says: 1t is in the prosecution of
peaceful trade that England's material
strength has been developed; il is her
merchantmen which have outsailed her
fleets on devastation. War is a relanse
and the English warrior, reduced 20
night poor savage tribes, must even
there call on the merchant 10 HELM him.
by taxing the bridesmaids wealth the
army folk are able 10 build big ships and
big guns, but the war spirit can no
longer produce big men. II has had its
day. Nelson, at Trafalgar, and Wei
lington, at Waterloo, have declined to
the pygmies who fly before Zulus.
There is not a military mau OF noticea-
bic ability in the English army or
navy. And the best Englishmen, the
truest friends of England, may well
boast of the fact. The land of Darwin.
Huxley, and Tyndall, of Tennyson and
Browning; the nation which has an
authoress Tor Queen, famOss novelist
Tor a Premier, a poet for Viceroy Of
India, and even to get warlike ruler in
Africa had % pervert an author-this
land can not now produce great
throatcuttiug genius. Under a long
peace England has amassed great wealth (;
that wealth has been transmitted into
arts, sciences and the works OF civiliza-
ton; mOmentary political com ination
mas galvanized into momentary power
its aristocratic action, and by aid of the
roughs, now called "Jingoes." they are
able to lavish much of that wealth on
the lean and famishcd military depart
ment and have raised it into prominence
once more. But its elevation has only
served to show how utterly the country
has outgrown it, how far the real talent
and force of the country has ebbed away
from all that and gone into the pursuits
OF high civilization. Therefore the
shame of England at this gloomy
moment is but the shadow of it's most
real glory.

WHTrELAw REID.

WAITELAW
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-Whitelaw Reid of the
New York Tribune, was before tho Potter COM
m!ttee to-day. He received u package uf ci-
pher dispatches from VIM. E. Chandler, and
one from Mr. Hiscock. of the committee. He
produced two scrap books. with the remark,
Here are two volumes of dispatches received
by me-" daughter The first volume :on-
talns copies of the Florida dispatches with an
appendix in miscellaneous order. Volume two
embodies kilograms referring to South Carolina
and Oregon. Before the teiegrams were deci-
phered, Mr.. Reid said he published editorials
ON the subject with view to inducing some
one to come forward with the key to the eli
pher. but that failing. the copies were attacked
seriously. Hazard and Grosvenor did the en-
tire work of translation. Prof. Holden aided
in some immaterial way.
Mr.. Hiscock inquired if there had been any
com plant from the parties to whom the tele-
grams were attributed. MIR. Reid replied that
with the exception of Marble, here had been
no direct complaint. and in that case Marble
vas perf city justified. as he was not the author
ot the telegram attributed to him In the pab.
licati"n. The first of the Oregon DISPATCHES
were not deciphered and published in the
Tribune, but in some other paper. An Asso-
clated Press dispatch drew attention to the
fact that the cipher used was an old mining
cipher, and was taken from the III ,usehold
dictionary. Tribu'as expert then procured
the dictionary and the cipher was plain
Reid testified he never knew Gen. Brady or
Eugene Hale, in connection with the transac-
tiona. Witness Gov. Ti!den about the
time the publication # the dispatches COM
menced and told him they were bothered by
these ciphers and he ought to give them the
key. Tilden replied in the same jocular way
and subsequently at Saratoga. said he did not
know anything about the ciphers and did not
believe there had any been delivered at hie
house. Reid understood him to mean that he
did rot even read the telegrams then being
published. Adjourned.
