In tlmt moRt veritable of histories wherein are chronicled ths trimuphs of the Heven champions of ChriHten loin in thir warfare against all "Pagans, inndola, and enemies of the God of Heaven," niont notable mention and miuttership is given to St. George, not alone for his invincible prowem, for his en chanted steed liayard, and sword Ascalon, but for thut he was "clothed with all gentle graces, thnt he was by day or night the courteous knight, of rare and princely be havior." Nowadays there are no burning dragons or witch Kalybs for the champions of Christen dom to overthrow. The conspirators against decency, civilization, and heaven mnRtor yet in legions; but (St. George with his Barbary armor and enchanted lance would cut but a ridiculous figure before thetn. Our cham pions rout them manfully; one by one of the dark host, slavery, bigotry, and unbelief has gone down, or is to go, before the modern weapons of the pen and tongue. St. George and his compatriots needed physical strongth and skill to meet their ghastly foes; but our knights must attack their spiritual enemies with spiritual forces; faith in God and man, shrewd mother-wit, and, above all, mouths like Aaron's, that will speak well. It is, as we all know, not only by their 'tongues they set forth the civilization, the lofty truths born into the world, since the days of dragons and witches: it is in their words, their gra cious lives and presence, dignified by all no bility of manhood, that we find the old-time St. George, with his poor courtesy and effort at gentle grace set aside and utterly thrown into the shade as the rude type of a rude era. Conceive that most grave and courtly knight, with his pure virgin lady Sabra, making a pilgrimage through the United States to witness the signs by which this rare civilization and progress of the nine teenth century manifests and justifies its life. Imagine the iinely-tonod manners, the rare courtesy, the gentle dignity of speech by which they would be instructed and warned of the new brotherhood among men. Do they take up a journal of the foremost thought in the central city of civilization in tended for the morning supply of mental food for cultured men and delicate women? Eight of the twelve columns are devoted to "lieastly Murders," "A Thief's Games," "Chopping a Man to Death," or the details of "Burns. Fit," and accurate descriptions of the chewing therein of trained rats by a man. But hold ! here is a history of a noble charity wherein homeless babes are taken in and cared for. Here the knight, whose vow was to protect the weak and helpless, can surely learn a novel lesson from these later times. Our modern champion finds it and reads it to him: "The lovely lady President was pre rent and wore a gros-groin silk trimmed with gold color piping, and bestowed her wreathed smiles on all. The Secretary was ravishing in blue velvet, etc." If St. George should fail in these dashos here and there by that most Christian knight Jenkins to detect any symptom of progress, or of the rare and princely behavior worthy of a country and an age which have spent their best blood in the cause ot treedom, ana loos ened the chains of four million slaves, let him enter the halls of Congress and hear the daily discourse of men who represent and govern that country and that ace. Here, doubtless, in the wise benignity of words, in the stately gravity of bearing, he will find the reflection of this day oi the wona, a aay more nooie than any which Plato knew. He hears the lie given and taken without a grimace; he hears this man accused oi bnoery, another ot men, in the same language which he heard in the New York slums, and tonally, at the myste rious words, "Shoo fly! don't bodder me," thinks it better to go down to the slums at once, and learn from the shoe-black teachers what Congressmen only give mm second-hand, But on the way, Sabra, let us suppose, de sires to hnd a convention oi her own sex, whereupon they journey to Newark. "Wotnen, no doubt, with the wider culture and lofty glimpses into truth afforded by the many pass ing centuries, have risen to the heights or strength and serenity to whiuh the fair and gen tle maiden of that past barbarous age can only look up in hopeless envy. Their desire, too, to assume the place and duties of man can only arise from the fact that they have conquered all those of thoir own: that in purity, refinement, tender womanliness they nave no more to learn. Sabra seats herself in a chattering, turbulent crowd and hears one of her sisters announce that "Man was the whale; Jonah in his stomach was woman; and man would find it plaguey hard to keep her swallowed!" Another sister varies the figure and defines "man as a little Almighty in boots." Convinced that the lan guage of these oracles is figurative and capa ble of some divine interpretation, Sabra gives it up and conies away. Where shall we direct the sanguine knight to take her for the clearest glimpse of our modern civilization ? Shall we invite them to peep in the back door of H. It. II. 's bedchamber with us, to count over his collars and socks and finger his jew elry ? or to the gallows to gloat over our next treat of a dangling wretch who dies game? Or shall we honestly ask ourselves if there is not some altogether noble and gracious thing owned by this knight of the grave and gentle speech which we have almost let fall in our hurrying progress; a something which is fast becoming a lost art in our schools, our legislation, our women, and we had almost Baid our churches; the manner kindly, simple, and true, the speech, gentle and courtly, by which the champions of Christ honored him, their brother, and themselves. Shall we take a lesson from St. Georce? and if we are willing, where con we find him or bis like ness '( PRINCE ALFRED IN INDIA. From the London Spectator. If Prinoe Alfred will only keep himself from feelins bored, or even from exDressina his feeling, his visit to India will, we think, be a decided success, a ceremonial worth much more than the very economical sum which is said to have been assigned to it, and . which Lord Mayo has supplemented out of his private puree with more than Irish tree handedness, it is quite evident to anyone who reads the accounts of the Prince's recep tion with unaerstanaing tnat the natives are pleased with the visit, and they greatly enjoy that form, of pleasure a pageant which is also an honor being a native s idea of enjoy ment and they got too little of it. We oo jected very strongly to the waste of AlO.iHW ox inaian money on the Sultan's reception, a pageant no native would see, but a little money spent in India on hiehly-colored scenes, on duruars ana pro sessions and coronations the investiture of a native Prince with his regal office should refccmble a coronation would, we believe, L well spent, and help to remove the native I complaint, that British rule is like the skj, dullest whon it is most fertilizing, laicntu hns a millym of people, and a trade of forty millions, and wealth untold, and does not sea a pageant, a display either of pomp or powoi, twice in a generation. This is the hardur from the singular tone which the city, tue third in Importance in her Majesty ions, has for more than a century persistently maintained. Partly Iom the character of the people, ninety per cent, of whom are Ben galees, Ooreyah8, or foreigners, yarn the remarkable absenoe of distress aotuai hunger being nearly unknown and partly from the conviction oi me upper un, whatever the merits or demerits oi iirit- ish rule, it means wealth lor inem, Calcutta has presented since 1790 the singular spoctacle of an enormous city which is at once a capital and a port, whioh is ruled by foreigners, which contains from fifty to sixty thousand men who are fighters by trade, yet are not in Government service, and which has never yet seen a serious riot, or indeed a riot of any kind. Troops, we believe, have never yet been oalled out in Calcutta, and the swarming native town remained throughout the mutiny as quiet as the dock of a Queen's ship. No honor of the ceremonial kind, and especially no honor from the throne, can be said to be undeserved by such a capital, and it is clear the people considered the visit of .. . i . . . mt a 1 1 i tne nanzaua to ue one. j.ney turneu out in thousands, sat with that marvellous patienoe which is to the Hindoo what resignation is to the Christian, for hours in the sun, cheered in their way with the sharp, shrill cry which suggests a half sob in the hurrah, and lighted up at night with the best-tempered unanimity. There is not a trace in Calcutta of the Venetian feeling towards Austria, nor was there the slightest mark of any in the princes who had gathered together from the more warlike provinces to receive the Queen's son. Sindiah, it was'said, was out of temper because he did not have a guard of honor very like .a duke wanting one but he was not out of temper with the Prince, and everybody else came down to the festivities radiant with pleasure. It will be the same all over the Northwest, in Agra, in the heart of the mutiny districts, everywhere a deep sense of gratification will be both ex pressed and felt; and it may be worth while to explain, or try to explain, why it is so, why a race which, if it saw a chance, would expel the British to-morrow, and which, if it waits a thousand years what is a thousand years to a race that never forgets and never changes its mind? will expel them in the end, should yet welcome the son of the British sovereign with hearty cordiality. The ex planation that it is mere childish love of fuss is of course a very easy one, but to men who remember that Hindoos conquered and civilized a continent, built a thousand great cities, organized an original society which has lasted, and thought out a new philosophy, such arcjy is more facile than satisfactory. The Hindoo is not the child but the female of humanity, and his character is worth a little study, even on a point like this. In the first place, then, one of the bitterest incidents of conquest is wanting to the Hindoo. He does not look upon the con queror qua conqueror as an oppressor, an immoral being claiming from the sword what he ought to derive only from election. Uon. quest in his eyes is right, the conqueror a man who, by being conqueror, proves that he is somehow in harmony and favor with the destinies. It is his business to conquer if he can, not to sit still and talk about peace and good-will to all mankind, A well-known Cal cutta Rajah brought this theory out with ex traordinary force. He was the Cardinal of Ilindooism, the head of the ultra-orthodox party, the fierce opponent of white customs, the champion of the Brahmins, the Chancel lor of Nuddea the Bengalee Oxford and a man of the highest social posi tion; but he joined in a testimo nial to Lord Dalhousie on the avowed ground, eloquently maintained in a vernacular speech, that to lament the fall of thrones was quite right, but that the moral duty of a Viceroy was to make them fall, to fling king doms into his sovereign's lap, to subdue as many people as he could, and to get all the treasure fairly belonging to the conqueror Lord Dalhousie had done his duty splendidly, and though that duty crushed his own people, he should vote for paying him deserved honor. There spoke the true Hindoo, and in that idea, the necessary unity of right and force, is the secret of Hindoo loyalty even to a foreign power. He may hate it, he may plot to destroy it in which case his own power, having proved its reality, will also be legiti mate but he is not stricken to the soul by it, not degraded by that any more than by any other manifestation of the (supreme Will. It follows that no manifestation of loyalty to the actual power impairs the Hindoo s sell- respect; that if a foreign band plays, he can listen; if a foreign Prince arrives, he can at tend his levee as subject; that if the actual Sovereign comes, he can strew her path with roses; and yet be trusted by rebels, and yet not be dishonest. He is performing part of that miohty ceremonial which it is his duty to perform through life, and whioh, in turn, he expects to be perlormed towards mm. a na tive who, having the opportunity of honoring the Queen's son, did not honor him, would be a rufhan in his own eyes, a boor knowing nothing of ncht or wrong, and this the more especially if the Queen s sou were inherently his superior, that is. of birth oldor than his own, as in every case, except one or two, Prince Alfred is admitted by an Indian Prinoe to be. Andthisbrings us to the second point which makes a royal visit so acceptable. The one precious possession in the eyes ot a great native, for which he will at any moment make any sacrifice, is his rank, his dignity, or, as he often calls it, his honor. There is no nobility on earth so punctilious or so am bilious as this group of tawny kings. No in suit to that is ever forgiven. No acknowledg ment of that is ever forgotten. No estate given as a reward has the effect of an extra gun in the salute. No sentence is eaual in terror to a decree diminishing precedence at a Durbar. The Indian Court, well aware of all this, has gradually elaborated a code of stately ceremonial as minute as that of Yer sanies, oiton emuouies its provisions in solemn treaties, and always obeys them with all the care Europeans can in such matters bring themselves to give. The code comforts the Indian Prince, is felt by him as a protec tion, and any lniraction oi it is resented as St. Simon resented the promotion of Louis XIY'a natural children to the rank of Princes of the Blood: but still it is not the oode of a sovereign, it has never been maintained except in a dependent court. It is now to be observed in the presence of a real prinoe, the rank is asserted in a true court, a court higher than the oifioial one, and every native who obtains admission in his usual state wtll feel himself a higher man, with a more secure social position, a greater right to respect than before. it is very . absurd no doubt, but then the Hindo role is not republican but monarchical; and as it is monarciiioai, as nearness to me mouarcu in creases his content, and inclines him to denpise the anarchical white rulers a little less, it is well that accident enables the Gov ernment to gratify him with proof that he is subject of an actual Jiving sovereign with sons whom it is possible to see and even to touch, and not of an abstraction whose will has no divine right to be obeyed. It is very nn philosophical, no doubt; but, after all, the people who crowd to drawing-roomH in Lon don are not savages, nor are the ladies who risk death to kiss the Pope's hand the lowest of mankind; nnd there is this to be said for the Hindoo he is consistent; as long as ho conceives loyalty to be due, so long also does he resolve to pay obedience. SHERMAN, FARRAGUT, AND THE STAFF DISPUTE. From the N. Y. Time. Admiral Farragut has given his cordial ad hesion to Mr. Robeson's bill for staff rank a bill which, it is nnderstood, Vice-Admiral Porter and the line in general approve; and now General Sherman's recent lettor is cited to support the same bill. It seems to us. however, that all those who have taken part with the line in the present dispute commit the error of confounding rank with command. If our readers will re call the letters on "Naval Discipline," ad dressed to the Time by a line officer, they will note that these letters take for granted that the two terms "rank" and "command" are synonymous and interchangeable. The very noticeable articles in the Washington Uironiccc, which also argues the line side of the question, assume this same premise. One of these articles, we remember, declared that it was "detrimental to discipline to give the Btaff high rank," that "a staff offloer, having no command, can perform his duties as well without this rank as with it, and that it is very injurious to discipline to so weaken the power and importance of the commanding officer." In like manner, the bills introduced by the line into Congress, regard this inter dependence of rank and command as the key- point of the discussion. Such, also, it would seem to be from the evidence taken bofore the Naval Committees. And, iniliko manner. General Sherman says, in the letter we pub lished on Friday: "I dont want to aro to sea in any vessel with more than one captain, or wlieu In case of accident to Iiim the rights and powers of his successor are not cieany prescrioeu oy law or nuvai custom." Here then we cor.e to the pivotal point in this prolonged and bitter controversy. Is rank equivalent to command ? And does it follow that in conferring higher rank on the staff than they now enjoy we must perforce give them actual control of any ship in which they may chance to outrank line officers t If these questions must be answered affirma tively, obviously the st.iH claim must be de med, as those officers never have received the training necessary to command a ship. But, on the other hand, if these questions can be answered negatively, It seems to us that the line argument falls to the ground, and the privilege asked for must be conceded Now, what are the facts in the case i In the army, as General Sherman tells us, "all our staff officers have actual rank. They hold commissions from the rresident as gene rala, colonels, majors, captains, etc" But does this possession of rank carry with it a command in the field? Not at all. An Article of War expressly provides as follows: If, upon marches, guards, or in quarters, dure. rent cents of the army Bhall happen to join or do duty together, the oiilcur highest in rank of the line oi tne army, marine corps, or rnuitia, oy commis sion, then on duty or in quarters, shall command the whole." Will it be pretended that such an arrange ment is not equally feasible in the navy ? Cannot the very regulation whioh confers rank also divest the staff of command ? It certainly can, and in that case the line argu ment vanishes. Now, in actual practice, in our army, "so long as a line officer is present for duty, he must command. Uoneral Sherman tolls us that it "frequently happens" that a captain or lieutenant commands foroes in which are 'surgeons, paymasters, quartermasters, etc, with commissions of colonel or major, who must obey his orders." Now, why may not the same be true of a captain or lieutenant in the navy, who has surgeons, paymasters, en gineers, etc, under him, with commissions of commandor or commodore ? Why should this latter rank prevent them from obeying his orders f General Sherman's letter, rightly inter preted, is not an argument for the line, but a very strong argument for the staff. He says: "If by conferring actual naval rank on the surgeons, paymasters, engineers, etc., the power of the captain, executive officer (first lieutenant), or of the officer of the deck is diminished or made doubtful, I would con sider the change very damaging to the ser vice. But as he immediately shows by the army rule that this diminution of power need not occur, he robs his own hypothesis of all its force. We repeat once more, that the staff claim is one that will bear the test ot strict investi gation; and it is therefore a great pity that, instead of confining themselves to strong points, some of its advocates go oil into un patriotic tirades against the whole service ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE IN SAN FRAN CISCO. From the JV. r. Herald. We had some dotails Saturday morning of another earthquake in San Francisco and at various other places over a large area of the btate of California, it occurred about noon on Thursday last. The duration of the shock was seven seconds, and its direction was from the southeast to the northwest. An instanta neous panic was of course created by the dreadful visitation, and there was the usual unceremonious rushing of the people into the streets on such occasions; but so far there are no reports of any loss of life or destruc tion of property from this subterranean tidal wave of liquid hre. Real estate, however, in San X rancisco will not be enhanced in value by this unweloome intruder, for the uncertainty as to the time and strength of the next vibration will moke BDeculators in town lots and houses dubious about investments in a city liable without warning, and within the short space of ten seconds, to be shaken to pieces. The case would be different if this were the first shook "within the memory of the oldest inhabitant." because there is hardly a plaoe in the world which since its occupation by man has B-r)fid the warning of an earthquake. either directly under the place or near enough to suggest that there is no pmoe ou vue ary Inn idisolutelv safe from euoh disturbances. Old Egypt, for instance, wliioh one would suppose to be dead for thousands of years to , 1 1 - . . l 1 .1 ..1. ..1. 1 the pulsations or earinquaaeH, muu nuuiuog and w akin (7 no some seven or eight years ago, very much like this lateat sensation at San Francisco. ' But these California earthquakes have been sufficiently frequent during the last six or seven years to convey the idea mat m mus quarter they are a sort of chronic disease, never absolutely dormant, . and certain to break out in some terrible paroxysm when least expected, even after many years of com parative quiet. We incline to the opinion, however, that the Taoifto soaboard of Cali fornia, and all the States lying west of the Sierra Nevada range oi mountains, lie west of the direct line of these velcanio foroes, which run along or near the backbone of the continent from Patagonia into Mexico, and thence through Arizona and Nevada on the east side of the great mountain chain which divides that State from California; and thence by way of the volcanoes of Oregon and of Washington Territory into jjnusn uoiumoia. It was only a few weeks ago that they had in Nevada a very extensive and a very lively earthquake. Indeed, all that immense desert region, in its general cuaracter, lying be tween the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada, and known as the Great Basin, abounds, ds Fremont expresses it, in evi dences of "fraoture and violence and fire." We are informed that the general direction of this latest earthquake at San Francisco was from the southeast to the northwest. This would indicate that it was an offshoot from the main volcanio gulf stream, if we may so ex press it, whioh flows nnder Sonora, Arizona, and the Great Basin, from Mexico and Cen tral America. As the crust of the earth, how ever, judging from the surface, is from four to five thousand ieei micKor, even in mo val leys of the Great Basin, than at San 1 ran cisco, that city, even iu a Bum move ment from the main volcanio conti nental current, is liable to suffer. Accord ingly, we abandon our effort to show that San Francisco is in no danger, and can only commend the citizons to build no more four story houses and no more brown-stone fronts, and to Bleep down stairs convenient to the front door for four or five years, and mean time to go ahead with their business affairs, trusting in l'rovidence mat alter tneir late earthquakes they may be exempt from suoh dreadful disturbances for many years to come. TAMMANY. From, the JV. T. World. The ring has defiled the better fame of Tammany not less than the good repute of Democracy. Tammany is an old and honored name in the history of the Democratic party It must be rescued from the dishonor of its later davs. Its subjection to the ring oli garchy must end. Once again it must oount its adherents in New York city wherever De mocrats are counted. From the despotism of the ring which is ruining Tammany the honest Democrats of the State as well as ol the city demand that Tammany shall be redeemed. Powerful by the number of its adherents even now, strong in its identity with the origin and the history of the party, it is weak only m tne seinsh, sordid rule of the ring. The Democratic masses no longer rule in Tammany. The ring rules Tammany, and is ruining Tam many. The sordid selfishness of the ring has driven from the walls of Tammany many ca pable and incorruptible Democrats, whose influence is entitled to weignt in tne councils of the party, but who, by being driven off to outside organizations, are deprived of voioe in the conventions of the State and the Union. Tammany cannot afford to lose these men from its ranks, for the word Tammany should be identical with the New York City Demo cracy. As little can Tammany auord to take guidance from the ring, instead of from the votes of the real representatives ot the city Democracy. The Ueneral Committee must be the repre sentatives of the Democratic masses, not the registers and dummies of the ring. The World war upon the ring is not a war upon Tammany, but, of course, includes a fight to redeem Tammany. Victory over the ring will be the redemption of Tammany itself from ring rule, the restoration of its rightful influence and authority with the voting, tax'paying Democracy of New York city, and its old estimation in the State and Union.
