A GREAT UPRISING. !

Strength of the Loyal States in 1861.
AS the years roll by we get proper
perspective of the civil war, and as we
have leisure and opportunity to compare
it with other wars we realize the i'm
portance of one fact too often over
looked. In our Impotence and criticism
in 1876 we forgot that no war Of
modern times had been waged by any
nation with rulers SO little prepared by
experience. The soldiers Of the Union
in 1861 were absolutely new to the art Of
war, and by an extraordinary combina-
ton of circumstances the civil rulers
were at the same time almost devoid of
experience in practical administration.
The Republican party was led by very
new men, whose almost entire experience
had been in political opposition. They
were Indeed ardent patriots, but SO far
as experience in governing went they
were in 1861 just like passengers who
might suddenly be called to take charge
Of ship going to pieces beneath their
feet in storm which made thrice sea-
soned mariners pale.
Suddenly they We're called upon to
deal with che most embarrassing COM
plications in diplomacy, the most diff
cult problems in finance, the most sub
tie and complex issues IN constitutional
law, and to meet demands for military
purposes which would have staggered
/ the most powerful monarchies in Eu-
rope. Russia, Austria, England and
France had i'll turn owned their inca
pacity to suddenly mobiles a quarter OF
a million men. The United States, which
had but 10000 men in its regular army
in April, 1851, had before the frosts Of
autumn fell nearly 100000 men armed
and equipped and in camp or on The
march.
And with what success? Comparisons
are in this case indeed eloquent Great
Britain's administrative system confess
edly broke down in supplying less than
$1,000 men in the Cri1nea. In the win
ter Of 1861 the Washington adninistra-
ton supplied 100000 men, scattered
along q line Of $500 miles from the
mouth of the Potomac to New Mexico.
Before the war revenue Of $50, OO0, 600
a year alarmed the nation. In q few
months Secretary Chase had to raise
600,000,000 q year, and soon had to
double that.
In naval warfare the Americans Of
April, 1861, were as children, yet in
eight months they had established .
naval blockade the most thorough in
history, and in eight more their rams.

It was the 30th Of last May. Henry

other generation OF school children had
brought violets from wild places and had
gathered blossoms on the mountain side.
The grave was ablaze with red roses,
white dogwood blossoms and bluebells.
The sun was low. The cows, ringing
their bells, were going home. Henry
