Military Literature.*
In these troublous times, when citizens,
except cowards and traitors, are generally sol
diers, for the defence of their country and
their homes, it is eminently desirable that
some decidedly good military manual should
be in their hands. There are several which
we can recommend, and, without desiring to
make,invidions distinctions, we desire to draw
attention to a handsome octavo, or 743 pages,
liberally illustrated, by Major William Gilham,
an experienced tactician. His Manual of In
struction-contains a great deal of information
on military matters, and new Volunteers and
new recruits, who have never befOre been tin
der drill, will very soon find themselves out of
c , the awkward squad," if they carefully study
article 111., entitled tc School of the4Soldier;"
The following chapter, entitled ci School! of
the Company,” will also save them much
trouble, alter the rudiments of military Mick
plane have been mastered. There are full in
structions, also, for the battalion, the trooper,
the troop, the squadron, and so on—all, in
fact, that makes the complete soldier.

Peerages from the Counter.
(From the Weehingten Sunday Morning Chloe/ale.]
It is well known that several of the British
peerages, even of the highest grade, haire
sprung from trade. Most of the law-lords, as
they are called, were sons of petty tradesmen.
Lord Thurlow, when Chancellor, was applied
to by the Heralds' College for particulars of
his family, that his arms might be " exempli
fied," and his pedigree set forth. The genea
logists made , him descended from Secretary
Tburloe, who was famous during the Protec
torate. " There were two of my name," said
he, " in my own county of Suffolk : Thurloe,
the secretary under Cromwell, and Thurlow,
the carrier. I am descended from the car
rier." Lord Macclesfield, who, like Francis
Bacon, was found guilty of venality and ex
tortion, as Chancellor, was son of an attorney,
so was Lord Hardwicke. Sir William Black
stone, greater than a peer,
as author of the
it Commentaries on the Lawa of England,"
was son of a silk-mercer in London. Lords
Stowell and Elden were sons of a coal-fitter.
Lords Tenterden and St. Leonarda were sons
of hair dressers. Lord Lyndhurst's father
was a painter. Lord Gifford's father was a
grocer ; and we might readily extend the list,
had we Burke's Peerage at hand.
The Duke of Leeds descends from Edward
Osborne, who was a petty tradesman in Lon
don, of which he rose to be Lord Mayor.
The late Lord Melbourne's wealthy ancestor,
who founded the family, was a tradesman.
The Mr. Smith who was made Baron Carring
ton by Mr. Fitt, was son of Atiel Smith, a
country banker. Sir John. Wrottealey, the
Wolverhampton banker, was raised to too
peerage, as Baron Wrotteeley, in 1838. Mr.
Samuel Jones Lloyds, the Manchester banker,
was created Baron Overstone in 1850, by ad
vice of Sir Robert Peel, who had previously
converted Sir Alexander Baring into Baron
Ashburton, and one ot the newest of the Vic
toria peerages is the Baron of Taunton, can
ferred upon Sir Henry Labouchere, whose
father, little more than twenty years dead, was
partner in the mercantile house of Hope &
Company, Amsterdam and London.
In fact, as fast as the old peerages die cell
new ones are created. Law contributes large
ly to swell the roll of the House ot Lords, tor
every Chancellor must be a peer. There are
numerous peers who have obtained their honors
by, valor in war. The latest of these is Lord
Clyde, formerly Sir Colin Campbell, who
completed poor Havelock's gallant attempt to
resist and quell the Indian revolt. The Church
returns some thirty Bishops, with seats in the
House of Lords ; and about half of these have
sprung from the middle rank of life. Science
has no representative in the Upper House, and
Lord Macaulay stands alone as the first and
-the last, ennobled on account of-his achieve
ments in literature. At one time, if report be
true, George the Fourth was anxious to show
dis regard for his physician, Sir Henry Ralf ord,
by raising him to the peerage. He mentioned
his intention to Lord Liverpool, then Prime
Minister, who did not much relish the idea of
naving a medical man in the House ofLords, but
was too crafty to openly cross the King's de
sire. (g I remember," said his Majesty, that
we have an illustrious precedent in Italian
history. The Medici, once so famous in Italy,
derive their family name from the profettaion
of their founder, and the three pills on their
armorial bearings perpetuate the fact." Lord
Liverpool quietly asked; cc Hee your Majesty
thought of a title for Sir Henry 1 7 ' The King
answered that he supposed, as was usual, the
new peer would assume the name of his landed
estate. "Because," continued his lordship,
"whatever name he may assume, people, re
membering bin profession, will certainly call
him Good Lord deliver us !' " That was
quite sufficient. No man was more: afraid of
ridicule than George the Fat and Fourth,
and, rather than have the laugh raised at
his expense, abandoned his intention of ele
vating Sir Henry Milford to the hereditary
peerage.
The peerages 0/ MDDurton and Taunton
are connected with each other, and, inde
pendent of the Ashburton treaty, there are
other causes why Lord Ashburton should be
considered with some interest in the - United
States. Lord Ashburton, who negotiated the
treaty between the United States and Great
Britain, in 1842, was originally Sir Alexander
Baring, second son of Sir Francis . Baring,
long the prince of London capitalists. Two
hundred years ago, one Peter Baring lived at
Groningen, in the Dutch province of Overys
sel. One of his sons, Franz Baring, minister
of the Lutheran church at Bremen, was called
to take charge of a congregation in London.
He bad a son John, who was well acquainted
with the art of making cloth, and, settling at
Larkbeer, in Devonshire, there established a
factory, This Cloth•ManulaCturer bad four
sons and a daughter. The latter married the
celebrated lawyer, ugly John Dunning, who
was created Baron Ashburton, in 1782; bat
on the death of his only son, the second Lord
Ashburton, in 1823, the title became extinct.
John and Francis Baring, eldest and third
sons of the cloth-maker, established them
selves in London, with the double purpose of
selling his manufacture and of importire, the
wool and dye-stuffs necessary for its produc
tion. After a time, John withdrew with a mo
dest competency, and Francis, born in 1740,
largely and boldly extended the business of
the firm—Bret known as Francis Baring &
and suusequently as Baring Brothers & Co.
During the ministry of Lord Shelburne, father
of the present aged Marquis of Lanadowne,
Francis Baring, who had become very intimate
with him, was consulted very confidentially
upon the financial operations of the Govern
ment. At the age of fitty-three, during the
ministry of Pitt, Mr. Francis Baring received
the title of baronet. His three eldest sons,
Alexander, and Henry-, were in the
firm when Sir Francis Baring died, in Septem
ber, 1810. Ilhe eldest, who then became Sir
Thomas, soon withdrew from business. The
third who would be called si fast" in our days
was a clashing gambler, delighting is playing
boldly in the salons of Farm, and was bought
out of the house; which then remained solely
represented by Alexander Baring, who had
received his mercantile education in the great
House of Messrs. Hope, of Amsterdam.
Towards the close of the last century, Alex
ander Baring visited the United States, where
hc bought large trnttl of laud, in Western
Pennsylvania, and also, to the amount of
$lOO,OOO. in Maine. Moreover, in August,
1798, he married Anna Louisa, eldest daughter
of Hon. William Bingham, of Philadelphia,
then Senator, we believe, and reputed the
wealthiest man in the United States. It is
said that by Senator Bmgham's death, as much
as $900,000 fell to his daughter as her share
of his fortune. Sir Alexander Baring, who
sat in the House of Commons for many years,
was president of the Board of Trade and mas
ter of the mint during Sir R. Peel's short
administration, in 1834-5, and on April 10,
1835, was raised to the peerage, as Baron Ash
burton—taking that title as itrit cousin to the
gentleman by whose death, in 2823, without
male issue, the peerage became extinct. His
diplomatic mission to the United States, in
/842, is historical. By his death, in 1848, his
title descended to his eldest son, William
Bingham Baring, grandson of Senator Bing.
ham, of Philadelphia. On receiving the peer.
age, Lord Ashburton retired flow business,
atill eoadoeted by members of his family, with
Mr. Bates, and others.
The peerage of Taunton, conferred upon
Mr. Henry Labouchere, in 1859, is curiously
connected with the Barium , Lord Taunton
has filled various high offices fn the British
Government, from 1832 to 1858, namely : Lord
of the Admiralty, Master of the Mint, Chief
Secretary for Ireland, President of the Board
of Trade, and Colonial Secretary. lie was a
Cabinet, minister for eight years.
At the time of the revocation of the edict.
TWO CENTS.
of Nantes, the family of Labouchere quitted
France, and became established in Holland.
Peter Cferar Labouehere, born at the Hague,
was taken into the great house of Hope & Co.,
Amsterdam, as French correspondent, at the
age of nineteen, on a good salary. He bad
frequent occasions to visit England, and was
an acceptable visitor at such times to the fa
mily of the late Sir Francis Baring—it would
seem particularly acceptable to one methber.
At the age of twenty-two, when his engage
meat with Messrs. Hope was nearly ended,
he sought an interview with the senior mem
ber of that firm, without preface, asked,
6 I Would you give me a partnership, without
demanding capital, d I were -Francis Baring's
son-in-law, with his promise to throw the bulk
of his foreign business into this house ?" The
simple answer was,.s We certainly would."
Then," said he, lr. must go over to England
and marry Miss Baring; for her father said I
should have her if I were a partner in this
house. It was a sharp trick, but Mr. Hope I
and Sir Franeis kept to , their word, and thus
made it successful. This occurred in 1790.
Mr. Labotichere eventually settled in England,
where he died in 1889, and his eldest'son ' now
Lord Taunton, inherits his great estates in
Somersetshire.
Thu endeth this chronicle of. peerages
sprung from trade. One additional, remark
may-be made: In all Cases, that of - the law-'
lords excepted, it is necessary,
,That the reel.
,plent of a poems-shall hate ample fortune to
support cc the dignity " of the title. The
Minimum was fixed, by George 111, we believe.
It is understood that, before a commoner can
be elevated to the rank of baron—the low
est grade. of nobility, as a baronet le not a
nobleman—he must show his ability to set
by, in porpoluity, to the whole succession
of eldest SOW who will respectively inherit
the tide, an annual income of not less
than £lO,OOO a year. The other ranks
run 'thus: for a viscount, £20,000; for
an -earl, £80.000; for a Marquis,. £50,000:
for a duke, £lOO,OOO a year. When a peer
age is conferred for military or naval services,
the Crown usually, grants a pension of from
£2,000 to £5,000 a year, for three lives, to
the recipient. When the Speaker of the
House of Commons retiree, usually with a
peerage, his pension, for his own life and that
of his son and , grandson, is £4,000 a year.
The Lord Chancellor is invariably made a
baron when he takes •E his seat on the wool
sack," with a salary of £lO,OOO a year, and
when he quits office be gets £5,000 a year for
life—because the etiquette of the English bar
prevents a judge from returning to practice
in the courts.. There are now five ex-chan
cellors thus pensioned—Lords Lyndhurst,
Brougham, Cranworth, St. Leonards, and
Chelinsfoni.
A. Patriotic Le.ttor.
We have received the following tettohing and
patriotic letter from a lady born in the South, but
who has long resided in the North :
The first air I ever breathed was Southern air—
the first soil I ever trod was the soil of the "Sunny

waters to mingle with those that wash our South

again from their short Southern sojourn to beautify
and gladden the homes that gave them life. Is it

wife, (and I never ask God to bless her without
thanking Him for the gift,) he, too, may take up

TO THE EDITOR OF THE Prtusit : Permit me,
through your kind indulgence and for the speolal
benefit of all whom it may concern, to advise that
persons in every assembly should take every op
portunity to prevent the agitation of minor politi
oal questions, as they are oditus in the sight of all
intelligent men. There are but two climates's now,
namely, Union or Disunion. This is no time for
hair-splitting or quibbling about party prinoiples.
They are bound under present
_ciroumstances to
breed dissension, wherever they are discussed, and
should consequently be particularly avoided in
every 00Mattrnity at our greate,et and moat invete
rate enemy. "
We are not fighting for Demooraoy, Whiggery,
Natireisna, or Abolitionism, but for the instate
nano° of one grand Confederaoy and Constitution,
and one flag. ' '

The Maryland farmers assembled on hornbook

institution, whose good fortune it was to pick up
many a dime from young aoldiers op their dm
march, whose pockets were well lined, They prov

The Union sentiment in that portion of Batt.
more county largely predominates, though it, is
kept in subjection by fears of injury to person and
property. The troope encamped upon the pro
perty of Sir. rotor Coney, a man of wealth, and
understood to be a Unionist. As soon as the trope
landed from the cars the lines were formed, sea -
tine's posted, and a picket guard thrown forward.
Guards had been previonsiy left, as the troops
passed down, at various bridges, to see that they
were neither burned nor destroyed.
As soon as sufficient time had elapsed for the
news to reach Baltimore, and persons to come
back to the encampment, hundreds came up in all
kinds of vehicles and on hornbook. Instructions
had been given by the general commanding that
the rights of persons and property should be
strictly respected, and intercourse and free in
terchange of opinion, between the soldiers and
people of Maryland, so far as was consistent with
military tilmsipline and the safety of his
was permitted. His orders in regard to persons
and property were most rigidly obeyed during the
two days the detachment remained. This inter
coerce seems to have dissipated any idea which the
Marylanders had previously entertained that the
expedition was hostile to them as a people. They
learned that it was undertaken solely for the pur
pose of strengthening and upholding the Union.
During the day a deputation from the gay of
Boitimore, headed by Senator Kennedy and ex-
Congressman Harris, had an interview with Dens.
Wynkoop and Williams. It is said that it was in
relation to the advance of troops upon Baltimore.
It had been previously supposed by . Baltimoreans
that it was the intention of the generals to advance
at once upon the city, and seek to fame their way
through. The result of the interview was appa
rently.satisfaotory to both parties.
During the afternoon of Sunday, a number of
uniformed men of the Baltimore County Troop an•
peered in squads at different points, apparently for
the purpose of reconnoitring Their appearance
gave rise to the precaution of doubling a the cards
and throwing the picket guard further in advance.
A belief prevailed am among some of the aura
that an attack would be made daring the night.
The men were called to arms savers.' times, be.
own they had no cavalry to reconnoitre any dis
tance beyond the mere preolnote of the camp.
A troop of horse were heard peeving sown the
Old York road, and the word of their commander
rang out cleorly upon the night. The whale camp
was Galled out, lines formed, and preparations
made for resistance, the men exhibiting , a strong
desire to give them a warm reception. During the
emit/mane eonsequent upon the sappesed atteek,
a private, by the name of Miller, belonging to the
Easton Fenoibles, fell dead in the ranks. The sur
geons said that he had burst a blond vessel in con
sequence of the overpowering excitement. The
men afaer the alarm paused away , lay down and
slept upon their arms. They slept soundly, too, in
the open air. upon the bare ground, with nothing
upon them but their blankets.
After this grand alarm, Major Belger, of the
'United States Army, and Marshal Kane, of Balti
more, arrived and had an interview with General
Wynkoop, and as the troops know in the morning
that they were to return to York, it is supposed
that Major Bolger brought orders for the command
to retire.
6.T0-day the whole command returned to York.
On Moieday morning the pieket guard of the PLret
City Troop of Beliimoreans was seen a few hum
dred yards in advance of the camp, and a cannon
was heard firing some diatanoe elf.
The narrator, who has heretofore known nothing
of military effaira, says that he is fully convineed
of the futility of attempting to enter a hostile
territory without cavalry and artillery. 0 , here,
who have returned from the encampment agree
that General Wynknop has shown himse lf ade
quate to the tiOrobierid of a brigade.
The movement upon Chambersburg tmeight
will be followed by a still stronger demonstration
if Virginia dares to attack the capital. Not less
than 10,000 men wilt be here before Saturday
night, to form a permanent eerep, riretly to 113490

ber, if necessary, in any given direction. It is

equipped, can move front tbis point upon Rich
