was the Russians who intruded ON
Afghanistan, and they have profted by
the contempt they displayed towards
the famous ne plus ultra of 1872. IL
there was to be a war, which was
never likely, the occasion would have
been when the COssacks trampled
out the line drawn on the man and.
roughly defined and accepted 10 for
NAL diplomatic documents. That
opportunity having Elapsed" fighting
at any subsequent period would have
been folly, especially as the ruler OF
Cabul did not wish to be saddled
with desert tribes who have been,
and still will be, the source and cause
of violence and rapine. The question
of the frontier was virtually settled
when we aqulesced in the breach Of
conventions, and the Amer turned
his face from Penj-deh, but stood
out for Zulfica, and Meruchak.

in arms many hundreds of miles near

OF 1883. The aquisitiOn of Penj-deh
and the banks of the Heri-Rud near
ly up to ZuIicar endows her with an
advanced base OF operations, a region
where she can assemble aud feed
troops which may be required to
move in several directions. Moreover
she has a larger fighting population
from which to draw recruits, and the
Turkomans will find it preferable TO
become paid soldiers Of the Great
White Khan than even 10 indulge in
the luxury of plunderlng forays. The
actual gain to Russia is thus very
considerable, and, it her finances
were less unsound, she might be temp.
ted to use it at once.-Daly Telegraph.

THE FRONTIER QUESTION.

1t now seems probable that the
Russo-Afghan frontier question-at
least so far as what we may call the
northwestern boundary is concern
ed has been settled upon lines indica-
ted many weeks ago. The actual Ii
mits accepted by Russia, however, are
those which satisfy the Ameer OF Ca
bul. Before he went to Rawul Pindi,
TeheraU journal stated that @bdur
Rahman had held council with his
Sirdars, and that they had signiied
their Indifference to Penjdeh, but
hat they stood fast by Meruchak
and Zul6car, as places in which they
had IA deep interest. If, therefore, the
boundary is drawn north Of both he
village and the pass, Afghan reqrire-
mentS, as understood at CHbul, have
been fully met, and a great part OF
Badghis remains subject o the
Ameer. We have undertaken to de-
fend the integrity OF Afghanistan,
but the obligation incurred does not
apply to territories disc aimed by it's
ruler, or to tribes over whom he does
not aspire to reign. If he and his
intimate counselIors have been wrong
in their decision, they still have the
right to their decision, and we, at any
rate, have no authority TO c%on'rovert
it, or oppose the retrograde policy il
expire sses. That Penj-deh was includ-
ed within the old borders OF Afghanis-
tan, no one denies except those who
wish to profit by the denial; al it
may be questioned whether nosr Ma
homed or Shere Ali would have taken
the views which have prevailed in
Cabul. Nevertheless, those views have
gained the upper hand in the Durbar
as well as in the Ameer's prl Vnte con
v%icliOn; and, whatever may be the
rights or the wrongs Of the dispute,
from a political, ethnographlcal, or
military standpoint, no sane people
could go to war in order to force a
frontier upon Alghanistan. 1t may be
asked why did the Afghans occupy a
place about which their Sovereign
was more than Indifferent? Why did
we advise them to stand last when
threatened by a Russian army! The
answer is hat Penj-deh, until Janu-
airy last. was always regarded as At
CHAN territory, being we'll within the
line laid down on paper in 1928 by
Lord Granville; that the tribes who
resided there paid taxes TO Hsrat and
that consequently the Afghans had a
perfect right to garrison a place
within their solemnly declared boun-

The Seven Days Fight.

From General Longstreet's contribu-
ton to the Century war series we quote
the following: "The Federals withdrew
after the battle, and the next day
moved on around by the route which 1t
was proposed we should take the day
before. I followed the enemy to Har-
rison's Landing, and Jackson went down
bv another route in advance of Lee. AS
soon as we reached the front OF the Fed
eraI position we put out our sklrmlsh
lines, and ordered an advance, intend
inc to make another attack, but revoked
it on Jackson urging me to wait until
the arrival of General Lee. Very soon
General Lee came, and after carefully
considering the position of the enemy
and of their gun boats on the James, de-
cided it would be better to forego any
further operations. Our skirmish lines
were withdrawn, we ordered our troops
back to their old lines around Richmond,
and month later McClcllan's army was
withdrawn to the North.
s:The Seven Days Fighting, although
a decided Confederate victory, was sue
cession of mishaps. If jackson had ar
rived on the 26th-the day of his own
selection-the Federals would have been
driven back from Mechanicsville without
LATHE. His delay there, caused by
obstructions placed in his road by the
enemy, was the first mishap. He was
too late in entering the fight at Gaines's
Mill, and the destruction of Grapevine
bridge kept him from reaching Frayser's
Farm until the day after that battle. If
he had been there, we might have de-
stroyed or captured McClelian's army.
Huger was in position for the battle of
Frasser's Farm, aud after his battles had
misled me into opening the fight he sub
sided. Holmes and Magruder, who were
on the New Market road to attack the
Federals as they posed that way, failed
to do so.
General McClellan's retreat was sue
cessfuliy managed; therefore, we must
give it credit for being we'll managed.
He had $4,000 men, and in
sisted to the authorities at Wash
ington that Lee had 100000. In fact.
Lee had only so, 0OO. General Mcclellan s
plan to take Richmond by siege was
wise enough. and it would have been a
success if the Confederates had con-
sented to such a programme. In spite
of McClellan's excellent plans, General
Lee, with force inferior in numbers,
completely routed him, and while suf-
fering less than Mcclellan, captured over
ten thousand of his men. General Lees
plans in the Seven Days fight were ex-
cellent, but were poorly executed. Gen
eral Mcclellan was very accomplished
soldier and very able Engineer, but
hardly equal to the position of field
marshal as military chieftain. He or
ganized the army of the Potomac clever
ly, but did not handle it skillfully when
in actual battle. Still, l doubt if his
retreat could have been better handled,
though the rear of his army should have
been more positively either in his own
hands or in the hands of Sumner. Heint-
Zelman crossed the White Oak swamp
prematureiy and left the rear of McClel-
lan's army exposed, which would have
been fatal had jackson come up and
taken part in Magruder's affair of the
2Gth near SaVage's Station"
