THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JULY 9, 18CG. THE NEW YORK PKES3. EDITORIAL OPINIONS OF THE LEADING JCURNAL8 UPON CURRENT TOPICS. 1CMP1LLD AVERT DAT OR MVJUUHO TXLBORAPB. Out Native Chines The Party or Pr hibitlon. from the Timet. The violent effort of the Tribune to identify the Union party with a hiirn protective party will not succeed; but ita endeavors, as well as the words or Mr. Stevens in a recent debate, in which free trade and Rebellion were apparently regarded as growths of the same poll, give a color to some of the worst accusations of onr European enemies, that onr struggle was in th interest of protection, rather than of nationality or liberty. The great Union party included within its wings persons of all probable shades ol opinion on the tariff question. Free traders, revenue tariff men, protectionists, and excla slonists. A convention of the party aever ven tuied to enunciate any principles on the ques tion ot low or high protection; and tor the Tribune now to raise the cry ot "lalso lights" and "treason to party" because a large and influential body of Unionists are opposed (o a tariff ("nee trade tariff," according to Mr. Steven), raising duties trom one hundred to two hundred per cent., Is simply the old partisan trt k, lamiiiar to the readers of that journal, ot nbstituting abuse for argument. We regr. t that any party or personal feelings are allowed to enter into a discussion of a pure question of finance aud ecouomv. The position of the American people is simply this: Tbey tar recovering Irom the VHStly destructive I'flVcts of a terrible thouerb necesary wa. They arc sutrciing under a loss and scarcity of lalor and a redundancy of currency. All ex penses of living have risen in a fearlul measure; and the problem is to turn the capital and labor ot the country to that which will waste the least and bring in the highest return, in order to meet our financial difficulties and bring down prices. As all aeree, the most profitable and natural branch of this country is agriculture. Thus far, the effort of the bigoted protectionists, since and during the war, has been to divert capital and labor from this to less protitablc pursuits. Manuiactures, already sufficiently protected, have been bolstered with bounties, until in some branches their profits have ranged from 60 to 3U0 per cent As a consequence, every farmer has paid a irreat additional price tor ttie manufactures pur chased by him, lor his clothing, bedding, imple ments, machines, household tarniture, and btuldmg materials; but worse than this, In many cases the capital, though diverted by largo bounties to these branches, has not been m per manently profitable investment tor the nation, so that though the individuals are richer by the taxes paid in their favor by consumers, the whole peopio are poorer. Prices remain high for the farmer, because manufacturers receive excessive duties to aid them in that which is not profitable. With our vast agricultural wealth we ought to be exporting grain and brea lstuffs and dairy products to many countries of Europe. We cannot do it, and the great reason is the expense of 1 reign t trom the central West f) the seaboard. This expense is immensely height ened by the tariff. Mr. Raymond gives a striking instance ot the truth of this in bis remarks on the duty on iron, in the House session of the 3d ultimo: "Pile New Tork Cential and Erie Railroads, he says, rmpli yed together live times mure cauital tuau ail the rolling-mills in the Uniitd (States, diibursioK ten timet as much money to work them and sup porting ten times as many people. Those) two roads renewed usually one-tilth ol' their track every year, requiring, each ot tlieui, 2U,uou tons 01 railroad iron. At the present rate of duty the duty on that was $772 000; at the increased rate proposed it would bo 5(1(76 000 that is to av, those two roads would pay about two millions ot dollars by way of protection. They had paid last year one million each as luternal tax. There must be an end to that they could not stand sncb a pressure I'ho.-e were only two railroad companies. All the railroan companies ol the Uuited Stales had paid lust year little less than six millions lor internal tax, and now it was proposed to put upon thorn five or six millions uioro in tue shape ot protect on." Who does not see that this increase of $5,000,000 in expenses for the railroads of the United States must come out of the freight, and that for every cent added to the cost ot iron the farmer must p;.y in diminished price on his pro duct? The increased expense of Iron and steel is so great, and the ninli protection has mule all material and machinery so costly, and has in creased the watte and carelessness eo much in our machine manufacture (as is the well known reMilt of bounties), that it is notorious that forehrners, from South America, tor in ftiuice, no longer order their machines here as they did, going to England, where they are cheaper; and it is equally well known that the vast commerce in iron screws between America and Europe, and other countries, has been In lieu ;rom our hands, because we cannot make screw iteamers as cheaply us the English. And this mainly trom the bad influence of over protec tion, lor the rate ol wages in machine factories is not so vastly different in the two couutrlui. ' Some of our manufacturers, perhaps a larg proportion, can now stand on their own legs without Government help or bounty. Tuosj which have bicu "protected'' so many years, and tor whosp protection every man, woman and child in the United States has been payinar a heavy tax, and which are now as weak as ever, had better be lelt to co down, and the money and handii employed in them be turned to more remunerative biauches. To add no a duty of one bundled or two hundred percent, to Keep tip these sickly branches ot manufacture is the height ol folly. The position of reasonable men on this subject who seek the fluuuciul srutpd of all sections is precisely that of the able Commissioners on In ternal Revenue, is confirmed by the long expe rience of loreien countries in the matter ot taxation; that is, to arrange tne tariff with relerenee solely to Graining the greatest revenue, Hiid to lav the irreat nrooortion of the duties on a few articles of luxury. The Jrtbune derides this, but the experience of Great Britain in the immense results from taxing spirits, tobacco, and a lew other articles is fair proof of its wisdom. It happens, fortunately, that most of our im ports are articles ot luxury: they outrht to yield a large portion of the Dublto revenue. Theu, without Improper mterterence trom (iovern meut, the capital and labir of the country will turn to what pavs best, and the whole people lee) the good eilect in higher profits and lo-ver prices. To the D-alb. fromtu Tribune. The uUliculty which dead persons of color i. e., persons of no color, according to our Ame riian misuse of the word experience in getting buried in Flushing, would seem to admit of uo compromise. In one regard it is certainly a matter lor the Metropolitan Board of Health Dead persons of color mtint, like dead persons of no color and of every color, be buriel some where or burned. w"e should think that Trustee James Btrong, at lea&t, would understand that but what's in a name Ilowever, we do not mean specially to discuss the subject at this time. Our topio in hand more general. ""There are clearly bttt two ways for our society 10 pursue respcuuug -persons ot arricaa de cent." Imvrimis. we may exterminate them How, if this is to be done, we insist that it should not be done in aloolish, reluctant, tlddle-iad lie, retail sort of way, as we managed, to our treat historical opprobrium, with the Indians. iThis aillui" off a race by laches Is altogether too much like an Eastern mode of execution, t The culprit is whittled ti desth. Every morning the ' executioner comes and slice off an inca oi the yictim flesh, in eoraparisoa with this, strau- SuiWMh owapitauvc, garreuxig, combustion and even wheel-breaking, seem to be femininely mild methods of taking ott. It "persons of color" in this country, in life or in death, cannot be permitted the vulear privileges ol humanity, our voice Is for a general and speedy massacre of tb whole tribe. Half-way measures never adjusted any botheration since the creation of the world. Even King Pharaoh made a ludicrous mess or it in trying to be rid of the Hebrews when be said to the midwivei: "Ecry son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive." lie should have killed the whole obnoxious crowd men, women, and children; if he had done so, be might not have come to moist grief, with his tine cbnriota and fast horses, in the Red Sea. The children of Israel, when upon abort commons in the desert, asked Mokcs if there "were no graves in Egypt" that he had led them to perish in the a, .ert. There are "no itraves.'' it seems, in Flushing, but even the fastidious cemetery con trollers might not object to finding a sort ot pits, with quick lime, for the remains ot all the "colored" population, if it could be got rid of at once. They would do as much as that for the Jour-footed victims of plcuro-pneuraonla. They ee that we are quite willing to be tenderly ac commodating to theirpreiudlces. We hope no soft-heaited reader thinks that we are cruel. We love murder no better than the next man. To the best of our recollection we have never killed anybody, i. e., physically, though we tire conscious of having morally slaughtered a vast number of solemn fools. Wiatwe Insist on is the commonest kind of benevolence. If we were "a person of color," livme in this United States, and found the schools which we helped to support closed against our children, the sanctuary gates shut in our laces, tne public vehicles denied us, the places ot amusement refusing us entrance, we aie not sure whether we should commit suicide, run nwuy, or liht it out to the bitter end In the home of our fathers. It would be cowardly to abeeoud, but it would be a dally torture to stay. On the whole, we think that we should ask to be exci Bed by act ol Assembly, with permission to select our own method to exit. But in the second place, we will suppose our own method to be squeamishly rejected. Well, then, we will insist that if we thus shrink trom a di-agreeable duty, and, aeit were, force lue upon the "colored" classes, wo have no right to moke that Ufa intolerable. Either let them go to the promised laud, or take off their burdens, if not' lor their sake, at leat for our own; because the presence of a pauperized, op pressed, and permanently degraded class iu this country is a standing refutation of our most cherished political theories, aud will always be a suggestion to enterprising usurpers to get their feet upon the whitest of necks. A de graded class is always an aseltlOn that demo cracy Is impossible. It is the black who suffers to-day it will be the white who will sutler to morrow. The men, if we may say so.wholinte the negroes harden i-o hard that we believe they would not even drink rum with them these are the men, white as they would be if they would take a yearly bath, who will first be enslaved. Riches will get the better ot them. Learning will get the better of them. Unprincipled sagacity will get the better of them.

Wall street will then get a grip upon the throat of Five Points, and wo be to the Five Pointers. It isn't our fault If we are forced so often to repeat here these alphabetical truths. Would to God that we had no occasion 1 Coarse-minded and sreuemlly bemuddled men charge us with writing in the negro interest. We deny it. We assert, and the whole course of the Tribune sus tail. s us in asserting, that we have no more to say lor oppressed blacks than for oppressed whites. We are simply for carrying out to the letter the chief doctrine ot the Declaration of In dependence, or tor flincring that respectable document oyerooara altogether, uur radical ism is that oi Thomas Jellerson, and they will liiccotterh to you in the grog-shops that Thomas Jefferson was a very good man.

From the Herald. The action of the Government authorities in entering a nolle prosequi In the indictment against Isaac V. Fowler, for embezzlement ot the public lunds while Postmaster of New York some years ago, has naturally excited no little comment among all classes. With many, perhaps, the result of this lone latent prosecution finds favor upon the grouuds urged by the District Attor ney in presenting the case, that the New York public were magnanimous and forgiving. Tho argument may weigh with others, that Fowler did not enjoy the fruits ot the defalcation him self, and that he was not only urged to the com nii'sion of the tbelt by his political friends, bat tl tit the money was appropriated to the uses of a political party, with the knowledge it not the actual sanction ot the Postmaster-Geuernl's De partment at Washington. To our mind these tacts, if they be true, are an aggravation of the offente, and we are disposed to repaid the matter ot the defalcation ana the condoninc of the offense bv the Government authorities as a great moral wrong, a aangeious precedent, ana a proceeding wholly unworthy of a great, free republican Gov ernment like ours. It presents Itself to ns as an incentive to crime on the part of public officials w hat right nag tne government or the political party it represent to authorize the stealing of the public funds for party purposes admitting mat tnese were tne circumstances under which this dedication arose and uot the personal extravagances ot the individual ollicebolder? For Fowler, personally, we have no ill will. It ne wtis usen as a tooi o.y politicians we regret his weakness, but we protest azainst the urin- ciple introduced into our system ot dispensing law and justice as developed in this case. The poor man who steals the price of a loal to keep via i-unuren, it may oe, irom starvation, nnus no tavor. The State Prisou is bis doom, but people will argue that a rutin who happens to be a poli tician can go scot tree for a more heinous offense; in lact, that politics, when used in behalf of the rulirg powers, legalize lelony. It is against the bad moral effect of such a course on tho part of the Government that we protest. The case of Fowler is but a single Illustration. This course may be and probably lias been pursued in many other cases. We have seen young men led asiray, in commercial Hie, into the commission ot crimes against the community cousipned to Sing Sins tor a term 1 jears, which they will probably serve out, whde lellows who have some strong political affiliations and political friends are pardoned utter a few weeks incarceratioi. The etiect ot mica proceedings is more demoraluiutr than can be easily imagined. It is a temptation to commit crime of which many avail themselves and which has an evil influence upon tb en tire community. II Fewler bad any of the instincts of an honest man, he would rather leel relief In his unob served exile, conscious of the wrong he has done, than seek to return to the scenes ot public lite of which he once made so conspicuous a feature. No doubt he will bo r-celed here on h's return with the same eclat that the rougher eleu ents ot ew York society aoeoided to Rill Ponle on his decease. The sachems of Tammany and the brave ot all the Democratic strongholds will receive l.im with a cord ml embrace; but we should suppose thxt the ex-Postmaster would Dreter the ret rement which it annenra hn ima been eujoyiiii; in ense and comfm abroad fur some years i)Kt to tue unenviable notoriety which awaits liitn here. ' j The story o this defalcation has been dead lor many year's. Toe public had forgotten It, and the name of the official defaulter bad . been blotted almost out of n-emory by the frequent cases of a simlar character that have ince occurred. But the wbold tale is revived by the late judicial aetion, and we are reminded thereby l Ue disgraceful fact that for the past live ye.v vr nure uieu oi inuetu.ee u uie political world, men even in Judicial station, have been exer cising their power to procure pardon tor a man who, whatever the extenuating circumstances may be, was at best a plunderer of the public treasury, of money obtained from the hard working and heavily-taxed people. We are com pelled, in the performance ot our duty as con servators of public morality and public justice, to condemn the encouragement offered to crime in official station which the law officers of the Government have thought proper to extend in this cafe. It is a dangerous example to set in the very weakest point of our governmental system. Comm o n -Sense. From the Tribune. The anti-Bread-and-Btttfer press of Richmond labor under the delusion that "the Radicals of the North" are unduly exercised because a num ber of leading starvationlsts are boldly in favor of conducting the impoverished South on tho plan of excluding Northern capital and labor. Not at all; for we understand, without experi ment, how foolish it is to keep on "shooting at the crisis," and how hard it is to oppose a loco motive. "We want," says one of these lunatics, population and capital, but not radical popu lation and capltaL" Sensible people do not need to be lnlormed that the South wants Just what it can get, and has no real business or interest to inquire whether its laborer is radical or con servative, Methodist or Episcoparian, so long its lands are tilled and its railroads built and kept running. A plan to keep out radical capital, and take in conservative and foreign immigration, would scarcely commend itself to aiy Southern propri etor who wants to borrow money to pay withal; lor it is a remarkable commentary on the anti locomotlonists that nearly all the Northern capital at present in the South nas been begued, borrowed, or invited from the North, which is unwilling neither to lend or to give while it finds itself welcome. It is alawot our conti nental commerce and civilization that the emi gration which conies through Northern channels lollows Northern capital, as a matter of course, whether it lead northeast, northwest, or south. We cannot teach the Richmond Philistines this fact, though it be as old as the hills; but it is nevertheless true that immigration follows its introducers, and will go where there is the most thnlt and industry, and slay there until North ern and Western enterprise is invited to lead it elsewhere, whether it be to the Northwestern States Bud Territories, where agriculture and building promise familiar tasks, or to the South, which is a stronger country altogether. We doubt if it has ever occurred to the blockheads who advocated exclusion, that emigration must co South through the North, and that a new clas ot white men will not go to work where Northerners and negroes are badly treated. The real laws of labor are pretty sound morals. Every Southerner is justified in making as good a bargain as he can. whether he sell his land to radical or conservative. So we are disposed tj believe that the people of the South will per force disregard those village Quixotes who run fit full tilt: nnnlnnf Kiirlham Fatsii-iriiTiioAle n nA chivaltously inisfeature themselves in order to spite tnetr own and other peoples counte nances. General Martindale as an Orator. From the World. Tie American people, like other great people, have always given their admiration as freely to brilliant orators as to renowned leaders of armies. As among the ancients the speeches of Demosthenes kindled as many hearts as the victories of Alexander, and the splendid confla gration ot Tully's eloquence blazed as brightly as the fame of Cie-ar's exploits; and as, in modern French history, Mirabeau was not eclipsed by Napoleon, so, among the American people the fame of Patrick Henry, "the forest born Demosthenes," is scarcely less cherished than that ot Washinetou, the leader ot our Revolutionary armies; and at a later period, Clay, on whose Hps listening Senates hung with rapt in e, divided the homaae of his generation with Jackson, the illustrious hero of New Orleans. It is the rare felicity of the times lu which we live, to see both of these dazzling characters united in one to contemplate a hero who "speaks with the same spirit with which he tougbt." It was reserved lor the Fourth-of-Julv celebration at Albany to disclose this mar vel, in tue person oi jonn n. juarunaaie, late Brigadier-General of Volunteers, and now Attorney-General of Hew York, rlis merita In both these characters were set forth in one of the toasts at the Albany dinner, in a strain ot eloquence inferior only to his own. We quote: "1 ho third teculsr toast was 'The Orator ot the Dav. As brilliant in eloquence as he wa dashing iu the held, ue has stormed the citadels of our hearts, carried thorn at ihe lirst assault, planted the genial banner ol tho (rod ot eloquence over us, and w e have only to surrender at discretion." General liattindale responded in a very happy speech. He retorted to Air. l remain's strioture in a very nappy manni'i, aiid indulged in many Hashes oi wit aud humor." The author of this toast 1s probably a near lelative of Mrs. Amelia Guhintrtou, one of whose letters lately appeared In 1'uMsh. Jlis tasteful c:.U'.;ou Ix.t, more than the merit of eloquence; stripped of tho showy plumage with which it is decorated, it has the greater merit ot trutn. its sense, expressed in plainer lan guage, is that General Martindale is as great as an orutor as be was as a soldier which, we take it, is a proposition it would require a hardy reasoner to reiute I We cannot find it in our hearts to Buffer so splendid a light as this General Martindale to be longer bid under a bushel; so we hasten to place him upon a candlestick where he may shine upon all our countrymen. In giving specimens oi uenerai Diartinaaie's oration, we are nappuy relieved from the trouble of estimating matter. It our friendly criticism were confined to this. it would be after the model of the celebrated chapter in the book of a mmnl on Iceland: . "CHAPTEK XVIII. SNAKES. There are no snakes iu Iceland;" which was the whale chap tor. We do not lemnrk the absence of matter in General Martindalc's speech to disparage its eloauence: very much the contrary, one of the characters in Jloliere's Amphytrion tays that the truly great cook is he who can set out a sumptuous dinner without incurnne any ex pense at the butcher's. So your truly great orator, like uenerai Martindale, is one woo ran make a srorgeous display ot splendid woras without any expeuse of knowledge orthought. And besides, this makes the parallel In tne toai-t so perfect between General Martindale's nruLorv and his military tame. Lloduence si eh eloauence. at least, as his is a drum which gives lorth more sound in proportion to the vacuum witnin; it is a Dhiioon, whica mounts to a preater heieht in rroDorLion to tie tenuity of tbe gas which swells out its sides. This being the character ot General Martimialo's eloquence, we ure able to wesetit some verv uncommon SHir.ples of soaring loltiness. We bve but a Blei.dcr acquaintance with the physiology of bath; but, as far as we cau judge, General Martindale is proDauiy ngnt in reeroruun; iud birth be Here dcscriDes as quite unusuai: "How shall I address yon in terms snl thoughts fittiup to such uu audience and ueh a iimef Ho Klisli 1 suitably assist to commemorate birthday llkettnsf Abirthoayl Was eer natoi born into l'uil lite by one grand declaiation, leaping up to such an aitituds as ours i We do not know that we quite understand the application of tbe pbra.e "alive and kicking;" but y.e t-upposo it may describe icourately pnmiirh the cond.tton of a new b iru biby. But when General MartiudMa mattes his leap up to such un aiitoiushiug "al itude," be give a Btrlklna proof oi the rsiug tendencies ot his eloquence. We may well ask, in his own mag nificent language, ''When, ever belore, in the track of the centuries, or in human expenjtiee, lim uiu'h u fmectae.Ifl tann witnessed ?" The woid. "altitude," like some other vrr tall terms, Is a e reat favorite with General Martiu dale, rathe high ivgnmi to which his armauttc eloquence so Jrrepivssibly soars. For instance: "Amhltuincan find no altitude loftlur than the ele vation t which humanity nas exaJlod the Apostles who went torUi p rwKhutf . "That dlrlne philosophy which the anrols pro- claimed in Bethlehem of Jndea will be carried to tbe rnrlet altitude ol excellence, and will demonstrate that it contains the elements ol millennial Joys and flor. Sooner or later ,we shall reach the plonaclo of that Idea." As a critic said of Milton, " he conl-i not be always In other worlds," so General Ilartiudale cannot always stay at aerial heights. He mutt sometimes neteend to tbe earth ; but under tbe tread of his eloquent step, the earth, though solid, is not vulgar. His architecture is as sur prising as his physiology ; as for example : "Sooner or later the Government itself will erumb'e, if that f reat foundation rook on which ibe dome of tbe temple rests shall be broken and removed " This "dome" resting on the "great foundation rock" surpasses the description given by the delectable Diedrich Knickerbocker, ot the renowned Wouter Von Twlller.or "Walter the Doubter," the first of the old Dutch Governors of this goodly city. Darao Nature, says the veracious historian, had given to that redoubt able personage a bead of enormous size; but It exceeded her skill to construct a neck sufficient to support it; so she stuck it squat down upon his fat shoulders, not exactly like General MartinrJale't dome Testing on his deep founda tion rock, for be rests the magnldcent head of his architectural wonder, not immediately on its Bhouldcrs without any neck, but upon Its heels without any intervening body. Having men tioned the sedate, truth-loving "historian ol New Amsterdam, we are led, in the way of further illustration, to reier to a protound remark ot nis, lu another part ot his book, on tbe character of Dnme Nature, who, with tbe capricious temper ot her sex, has so often acted in disregard of the theories invented for her conduct by profound phfUsophers. History seems to have treated General Martindale in tbe same capricious, dis respect I ul manner in which name JS attire nas treated so many great philosophers. General Martindale says in his oration: "The lint Nanoleon exDrescd tho nrinclDle of the Imperial Government in the torso but emjiUatio declaration, '1 am the State.'" Tli a famAinaanlnni " Tloint fdoat Ynfi I' to nna.ln two ccntuties older than the "tirst Napoleon." to whom General Martindale attributes it. We did not suppose a siuirle human being who had ever seen the phrase, could be so uznorant as nt t to know that Its author was Liouis XIV. The new convert who began his first exhorta tion in the prayer-meeting by speaking of "the Apostle Job." did not make a more laucrhable blunder. The little bouquet which we have culled from General Martindule's wilderness of flowers, must suttice lor to-day. tveu it there were no dan ger that they would quickly wilt when detached from "the stem where they grew," there is some danger tliut their concentrated fragrance might be a little too strong tor this sultry weather, Altogether his military laurels and his oratorical flowers make a very pretty chaplet; tor though neither may be very tastelul in itself, they are very suitable to each other. But we cannot quite make up our minds whether the author ol tne oetore-quoted toat is a weakiins or a satirist, it not the latter, be has very happily nit tne marx at wnicn ue aia not aim Military Critics and Strategical Bohemians. From the Daily 2iewt. It is a matter of some Interest, just now, to observe how promptly the Bohemians and mill tary critics of the metropolitan press are step ping up to the work of instructing bnrope in the proper method of conducting the war re cently commenced on that continent. No sooner does tbe European steamer brine the t'dines of an undoubted commencement ot hos tilities, than the military critics and strategical Bohemians, having nothing else to do, piescnt themselves like noisy mounteoanks at a village fair, and bellow out their suggestions and ad vice, declaring the immetie superiority ol the military science on this side of the water over that whicb obtains on the other, and making it clear to tbe commonest understanding that they have not the faintest idea of what they are writing about. The close ot our own little 3ftuaoble threw an immense number of these tacticiuns on paoer out ot employment. For the while Othello's occupation was truly gone. Four years of in credible hardships on their pait, nussed in the rear of armies on the advauce aud in their trout on the retreat, and devoted to fabricating re- put a' ions lor their favorite generals, aud to writing of victories that were never won, gave them a sufficient smrtterine of terms connected with the art of war, and acquired from a careful perusal of field orders, aud by hanging around the rear of tents and listen ing to the soldiers' conversations, to enable them, with the facts in hand, to write up, a suuicienliy lucid account ot marches, battles, and sieges to enable their crudities to pass, among tbe unthinking, for good, sound. practical views of tbe military situations. In a condition of affairs in which nobody, trom the t.enerai ol Division to bis hostler, was well up in tbe theories of Vauban, Totleben, or any of the celebrated European masters of strategy ai d the systems of offense and defense, the military Bohemian, with his pencil and note book, became no mean exponent of the mys teries ot tactics and the p'olound and compli cated manoeuvres of a well-handled army iu buttle. Tho natural audacity of the race, too, earned them out bravely where more sensible men would have hesitatod; and, as lathe king dom where dwell the blind, tho one-eyed man is king, to did it occur that our Bohemian, in their condition of one eyedism, and surrounded by the sightless, came out ot the war in tine leather, aud with the satisfaction ol having "written up" biinibnes into the position of heroes, and of having dignified a prosaic mediocrity, or worse, into a splendid exhibition of genius. Now, whilst it was pardonable that, in cir war, the strategical Bohemians should have felt their powers and exulted in them, it Is drawing too largely on human forbearance to witness their attempts to instruct the soldiers of Europe in their duties. To suppose tbat any facta in our war great as it undoubtedly ws in the sacrifice of human lite could present themselves as something new to those who conduct the military movements of the armies ot tkc Old World, is to suppose an absurdity. Were the Bohemians to retlect if they ever do reflect that tbe military system in this country is almost altogether fashioned alter European models, and that the best rules of the scleuce of war have been the product of the brains of loreism strategists and commanders, they would see clearly that whatever was practised in our campaigns, and which is not revealed In the Furopeau style of conducting military a Hairs, owed its existence to the fact tbat circumstances were fuvorablo to its development in tbe Ameri can conflict, and, perhaps, would not permit of its exercise in continental warfare. Tliis, however, is lust what the military critics and strategical Bohemians reluse to see. Now, we would like to make a plain sueaesttou to those ambitious exponents oi tbe science ot war. Let them avoid tbe columns of the news papers when they are about to "reconstruct" the map of Europe, or when they are attempting to decide, before the French Emperor is out ot his quandary, upon tho future attitude of France in the present uuhappy quarrel in Ger many, and let them seek a publUberof bo ciw. When they have done that let them strike a bargain with their publisher to print so many thousands of copies ot their "views," pav tor the same out of their pockets, and dis tnbute them gratuitously among the people. That will Ye a cheap wav, as lar as the dublic are concerned, ot acquiring reading matter, even tboueh it be of a tishv nature; aud, although the Euiopean question, in their band, would become as complicated and unin telligible as the Scblcsffig-llolntein muddlti now i, the inquiring mind could always be put on the right track by perusing tbe lacts as they appear in the reliable papers.
