Kinglake's "F',,torj if the Crimean War" third
ftDj fourVn volumes f tha Eugllsh etlitUn
takei tip the narratlva of events Immediately
(after the battle of the Alma and conclude with
the battle of Balakla. Mr. Kinglake's weak
points are his rabid anti-Napoleonlsm and his
admiration for the generalship of Lord Raglan.
It Is an undoubted fact that the Crimean cam
paign deprived the English of their military
jrei'ige, ,nd lost them their position as the
holders Of the balance of power in Europe. The
Trench carried off all the honors of ths war,
while the bad generalship and bad management
of the British were only redeemed by the per
sonal valor ot their soldiers, and their obstinate
determination to accomplish tho fll of Sevas
topol at all hazards. In his efforts to do Justice
to the memory of Lord ttaglan, Mr. Kinglake
unduly exalts the abilities of that very amiable
gentleman but very inefficient general, while
he is led into disparagements of tho French
which nre certainly not deserved. Tho
events of the Crimean war are still
too fresh In the minds of the newspaper
reading public for any author, nuless ho brings
stronger arguments to bear on the subject than
Mr. Kinglake does, to remove the prevailing
impression that Lord Kaglan was utterly
Incompetent ior the position which he held, and
tho honor which the French amy won they are
likely to hold for many a day. Independently
ef its partisan spirit, Mr. Kinglake's work is
valuable, and now that the bitter feelings which,
of course, prevailed during the progress of the
war have passed away, he does not hesitate to
do justice to the Russians, and to repudiate the
vile slanders which were circulated about them
for the Bake of firing the British heart when it
was disposed to be despondent on account of
the blunders of generals and the red-tapelsm
ol the home authorities. He has had access to
important official documents and the reports of
officers of all the contending armle3, and per
sonal explanations m-tie by participants In the
conflict throw much liht upon doubtful and
controverted points. In regard to the famous
cavalry charge blunder at Balaklava, Mr.
Kinglake, after hearing all side., deduces the
following essentially correct conclusions:
"The task of endeavoring to put a right eon'
Blruollou upon order given In war, and espe
daily in battle, Is often uu anxious and difficult
one, yet so euortuously important tbat the
nonor.nay, the fate or a nation may depend
upon tne way In whicu 11 is discharged. Now,
It would seem tbat there is one kind of expe
rience which, if lona continued, has a peculiar
tendency to dlisqualily an olilcer for the duty of
putting sensible constructions upon orders
concerning tne business of war. Toe experi
ence 1 speak of Is tbat which is possessed by an
officer who has served many years in a stand
ing army without having had the fortune to go
through a campaign. Such a man, during his
whole military life, has been perpetually deal
ing with fixed conditions and petty occurrences
which are mostly of a kind that can be, In a
measure, provided for beforehand by even tbat
limited forecast which the rules of an office
Imply; and as soon ay his training has taken
Its effect to the utmost, he may be laid to re
present the true opposite of what a com
mander should be who has to encounter emer
gencies. Ho long as soldierly duties are confined
to mere preparation aud rehearsal, they can be
effectively Toerloriried bv the lndiiMtrlnim for.
naalist; but in war all la changed. There, the
enemy interposes, and interposes so roughly
that the military clock-work of peace-lime Is
ruthlessly (battered. As a guide for construing
momentous orders delivered In tbe hour of but
tle to a general of the poaoe-servloe training,
the experience of the barraok-yard beoomes a
snare. His new theatre of action Is so strange,
so vast, and so dim for he now has to meet tue
nnknown that unless he ean rise with the
occasion, throwing open his mind and chang
ing his old stock ot Ideas, he becomes danger
ous to his country beoomes dangerous, of
course, in proportion to the extent of tne com
mand with which he has begu intrusLed. dup
posing tbe natural capacity equal, there is no
stirring missionary, no good eleotionuerer, no
revered master or hounds, who might not be
more likely to prove himself equal to the unfore
seen emergencies of a campaign than the gene
ral officer who Is a veteran in the military pro
fession, and, at the same time, a novice in war.
If, Indeed, a general who has hitherto had no
experience In war Is still in so early a period of
his life as to have unimpaired the natural
flexibility of youth, he may quickly adapt his
mind to the new exigenoy; but when a State
gives high command to an olilcer who 1 not
only encased with military experience all
acquired in peace-time, but is also advanced In
years, it fulfils at least two of the conditions
which are the most likely to bring about mis
constructions of eveu the plainest orders; and
if to these precautions tbe Government adds
tbat of taking care that the selected General
shall be a man of a nmrow disposition and a
narrow mind a man cleaving to technicalities
and regulations with a morbid love ot uni
formitythen, indeed, it exhausts a large pro-
fioriion of the expedients which ean ba used for
nsurlng miscarriage.
"England, ruling as she does over various
and widespread dependencies, is so often forced
into warlike operations of more or less magni
tude, as to be free from the predloament of
having at neroemmand no war-tried oitljers.
Therefore, when, with such means at her dis
posal, she still trusts lmportanteornmands to her
peace-serving officers, she has not the plea of
necessity. Bhe acte in sheer wantonness. Hue
needs, as it were, a strung swiuxmer.and hastens
to lane a man wno never nas happened to
bathe. She wants a skilful ship's captain to
maintain her strength on the ocean, and for
this purpose chooses a bargeinaa who has piled
thirty years on canals.
"As a warning iustanoe of miscarriage result
ing from this evil practice, Inrd Cardigan's
mistake has great worth; because it was so ob
viously occasioned both by his experience aud
- by his want of experience by tue abundant
' military experience which had gathered
upon him in peaoe-tlme, ami by the want of
that other experience which men gain In wr.
Many olilcer long versed iu peace service might
have made an equivalent mistake; but on the
other hand it Is probable tuut in suohaooa-
Iunolore as that iu which. Lord Cardigan found
ilniseif, no man who ever h id wielded a squad
ron In the flelld would have thought himiolf
condemned to inaction.
"The example was made the more signal by
an incident which occurred at the time,
Whilst Iiord Cardigan sat in his saddle, express
ing, under cavalry forms of speech, his euvy of
the Heavy Urn goons, aud adhering to that
hapless construction of Lord Luuan's order,
which condemned hiui, us he thought, to a
state of neutrality, he had at his side an officer,
comparatively young, and with only the rank
of a captain, wbo still was well able to give him
tbat guidance which by reason of his want of
experience In war he grlevounly, though,
unconsciously needed. Captain Morris, com
mandlng the 17th Lancers, one of the
regiments of the Light Brigade, and
then in his thirty-fourth year, was a mau richly
Rifted with the natural qualities which lend to
make a leader of cavalry, but strengthened
also by intellectual cultlvutlou well applied to
the business of arms, and clothed, above all,
with that-priceless experience which sildlers
acquire in war. After having first armed him.
el' with a portion at least of the eduoattoa
which Cambridge benows, be had served with
glory in ladla. In 1813 he had been present at
the battle of Mabatajpore. In 1818 he fought
t the battle ot Buudlwal; At the bittle of
ALlw,1' 1 e HU,.nS r"Jar h was woun ted
v.nil?,l..ob.urfRlu.!? wl,,h,Ll regimeut into a mass
of Bikn infantry. He was la the battle of
Bobraon; he crossed the Hutiej and entered
. Lahore with the army. When opportunities of
gaining warlike experience were no louiter
open to him, he returned to the labor of mili
tary study, and carried away from Sandhurst
am pie evidences of his proflcleucy la hinder
departments of military learning. Cupula
Morris was one of those who might have been
wisely lntrnsted with an extended command of
cavalry. Few could be more cjiupulout
to point out to Lord Cardigan tho error he wag
committing to show him iu two words how
'f HE DAILY E V UN tfG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, - SEPTEMBER , 22, 18G8.
to construe Lord Lncan's order, and toexplaln i
to blm that when oavalry has to hold a
pohlllon,' it Is not, for that reason, forced to
abstain from resisting tbeenemy.
"Perceiving with vivid distinctness the pre
CloiiBopportnnlty which the fortune of war was
offering, Morris eagerly prayed that the Light
Cavalry might advance upon the enemy's
column of horse; or, if tbat could not be con
ceded, then, tbat be, at least, with bis regiment,
might be suffered to undertake an attack.
Tbat he imparted bis desire to Lord Cardigan,
and that Lord Cardigan rebuffed htm, I cannot
doubt; but for the present purpose for the
purpose, namely, of illustrating the mischief
of intrusting high command to a veteran of tbe
peace-service unvers-d In war the sworn
statement of Lord Cardigan Is snfllclentlv In
structive. Alter speaking of Captain MorrW
alleged Interposition, be goes on to say tbat
'Captain Morris never eaveany advice, or made
any proposal of tbe son;' that 'it was not hH
dut y to do no;' and that he 'did not commit such
an Irregularity.'
"When the Oxford undergraduate stopped
short of presuming to snatch his fellow-student
from a watery grave, on the theory that it was
lndecorons for one lad to rescue another with
out having first been presented to him, the
objeotlonwas perhaps overstrained; but at ail
events, It proceeded from the formalist who
stood on the bank, and not from the one In the
river. Here, more wonderfully 'or Morrl was
willing, nay, offered to rescne Lord Cardigan
from his error it whs the drowning man who,
on grounds of a stiff etiquette, protested against
being saved.
"H Lord Cardigan's Idea of an 'Irregularity'
was upheld by the cancllon of the Horse
Guards, it must be acknowledged that our
Home dispensers of military power had per
formed their task wli.tt a rare completeness.
They found a man who was of an age and en
dowed with natural qualities highly favorable
to elective command, who had had rloh expe
rience In the business of war, who had earned
for himself a large share ofglory in combats and
pitched battles. Him they placed under a
General filty-seven years old, who, without any
warlike experience, Mill sincerely presumed
himself competent to the exigencies of high
command in the fleln; and then they crowned
their work by causing or allowing the army to
understand tbat it. would bean 'Irregularity'
for the man who had learned war In the UutleJ
to tender bis opportune counsel to the one who
had come from Hyde i'ark."
Mr. Kinglake's work Is illustrated by numer.
ous plans and diagram?, and in a supplementary
chapter is contained a severe but, In the main,
a just review of Lord Cardigan's conduct as an
officer. A number of important tables of sta.
tistics, statements of officers, an d other docu.

A Htptoby op the New School. Bv 8aroae
J. Batrd, D. 0. l'ublished by Claxton, Kemsen
ft HalTeltfuger.
The author of this work states that a history
of the Pelagian controversy which ended in a
division of the Presbyterian Church, in 1839,
was announced by his lather, the Rev. Thomas
D. Baird, who collected the material, but was
prevented from wilting anything by his death
which occurred in 183'J. The son, however, was
deeply Interested in the controversy, and he
determined to complete his father's unfinished
work with the aid of such additional material
as he was able to collect during the years that
have elapsed since the division in the Church
took place.
A strictly Impartial h'story of any religious
or denominational difficulty is r omethlng that
perhaps cannot be expected, and as Dr. Balrd is
a sliong Old School partisan his opinions will
of course have most weight with those who hold
the same views that he docs about disputed
points. Dr. Buird is evidently not an advocate
of reunion on any basis ol settlement that is
likely to be proposed or adopted, and a. strong
flavor cf bitterness docs not make bis work the
most pleasant reading for those who do not feel
as deeply on the subject as himself. Ha is
qualified for the work of a historian, however,
by a thorough acquaintance with the facta, and
by a clear understanding of all the disputed
points ot doctrine und church government, and
on this account his work will be valued by those
who do not coincide with his views. The rlee
and progress of Presbyterlanism in England,
and the growth of tbe denomination in the
United States, are related circumstantially; and
afull account of tbe two trials of the Rev.
Albert Barnes, in 1831 and 1830, with other of
the immediate causes for tbe split in the
Church, arc given, from an Old School stand,
point, of comse.
As the matter of a reunion is now being ex
tensively agitated, Dr. Baird is impressed with
the importance of giving to the public a state
ment of the facts relating to the original dis
pute, and we agree with him that the publica
tion of a history of the differences which existed
thirty years ago is not to be deprecated on
account of any fear of reviving the old quarrel,
although we would have liked it better if the
present work was more conciliatory in Its
general tone.
Callamcba. By Julia Pleasants. Published by
Claxion, Reaieea ft tlaffeltlnger.
This is a story ot Southern life, written by a
Southern lady, and tho morbid and unhappy
state of feeling prevalent In tho South is very
apparent in its pages. Stories of the war are to
be deprecated at this time, for it is impossible
that they can be written in any other than a
partisan spirit, which Is decidedly unpleasant
in a novel. Besides, we are too near the great
events themselves, aud too profoundly impressed
with the dreadlul significance of the reality, to
appreciate properly the imaginary effects of the
novelist.
The style of "Callamura" Is crude in the ex
treme, and tho story is a? thin and vapid as the
weakest of Mrs. Caroline Lee Iientz's. Miss
Augusta J. Evans, however, is tbe'bad mode,
which Miss Pleasants we j resnme that she is
Miss has undertaken to follow; and alter the
manner o the author of "Bculah," she drags in
literature, art, and science by the neck and ears,
and without any particular regard to relevancy.
Like all imitators, however, Miss Pleasants falls
considerably short of her original, and "Calla
n,ura" is not equal to any of Miss Evans1 stories'
for that lady has undoubted ability, in spite of
her high-flown and exaggerated style.
