In common with most of those who speak
and read the English language, we have the
highest respect for the literary ability of the
Right Honorable Sir EDWARD-GEOROE-E.tRLE
LYTTON BULWER-LYTTON, M. P. for Hertford
shire, and Queen VICTORIA'S ex-Secretary of
State for the Colonies from May 1858 to June
18N. But truth compels us to confess we
have a poor opinion of him as a Politician,
and a persuasion that he is extremely deficient
in the qualities which, in combination, consti
tute a Statesman. Admirable CRICHTONS have
never been abundant, and are scarcer now
than ever. Few men excel in more than one
thing. For example, Dr. RUSSELL, of
The Times, describes battles as well as
XENOPHON, (who also fought them,) but is
all at sea when he enters upon political or
other speculative subjects.
We might multiply examples. BULWER'S
greatest admirers will admit, we think, that,
though he was a member of Lord DERBY'S Ca
binet for thirteen months, he has not succeed
ed as a politician. This is not entirely his
fault—though it is partially so. He entered
Parliament in 1831, as the representative of
some £1,500 which he paid for his seat to
WELLESLEY-POLE, the late Earl of Mornington,
proprietor of the borough of St. Ives. With
the exception of the interval between June,
1841, and July, 1852, during which he sus
tained two election defeats at Lincoln, BULwER
has been constantly in Parliament. Twenty
years in the House of Commons ought to give
any man of good abilities, social position, re
putable character, and fair fortune every
chance of making a hit in public life. Bur.-
*Elt has even been a Cabinet Minister; yet
still, who will say that his political career has
been successful?
Miss IL BARER,
Principal
The fact lies in a nutshell. This gentle
man, whose writings are so informed with ge
nius, has belonged to all parties in politics,
and does not possess the power of popular
oratory—so rare in England, so frequent in
America. Commencing his career as a Radi
cal, and strongly advocating the Reform Bill,
he gradually subsided into a mere supporter
of the Whig Ministry, of which that.good-hu
snored diner-out was head. In 1885, while
PEELS Cabinet was struggling for existence,
AII4WZR wrote a partisan pamphlet in favor of
the Whigs, which rapidly ran through twenty
editions, and had considerable political influ
ence. Soon after, when the Whigs were in
office, they rewarded their advocate by con
ferring on him the hereditary rank of Baro
net, as had been done in the case of WALTER
Scorr, in 1820, who received the first title be
stowed by GEORGE IV. As we have said,
&LIVER was out of Parliament from 1811 to
1852, and, when he again had a seat in the
House of Commons, declaring, by pen and
voice, that he opposed the doctrines of Free
Trade, he supported the Derby-Disraeli party,
receiving high Mee from them, when they
came into power. It is only right to say that,
notwithstanding bad health, he was a pains
taking and useful Minister, though his only
memorable action in that capacity was the
erection of British Columbia into a se
parate colony,—which does not pay ex
penses, and is a heavy drag upon JOHN
BULL. Having "boxed the compass" of
politics—Radical, Whig, and Tory, in suc
cession—Betwun has exercised small influence
in Parliament. D/SRAELI, who has exhibited
similar want of consistency, is constantly re
minded- of, it, and by many distrusted. One,
alone, among living and-leadtng Englishmen,
has been consistent only in inconsistency: this
is PALMERSTON, who has held office in some
fourteen different Administrations during his
public career, and has actually passed forty
two out of the last fifty-two years fc in the
service of his country"—which is the polite
phrase for holding high office.
Another cause of BULWER'S non-success as
as a politician is his deficiency in poweiand
weakness in debate. Legislative orators in
America may and do write long speeches,
which they deliver by act of memory, some
times by reading them, sometimes by obtain
ing permission to have them considered as
spoken or read, which secures their being
printed in the authorized reports of the pro
ceedings. In the British Legislature, on the
contrary, such a thing as reading a speech is
not allowed. The man who attempted it would
be put down by an universal and terrific cc guf
faw" of laughter. The Financial Minister,
when he opens the Budget, and has to make
numerous statements of re ways and means,"
receipts and expenditure, imposition and re
duction of taxes, is allowed to read their
amounts from a slip of paper, but any thing
like reading his speech, or a part of it—ex
cept it be an avowed quotation—would be im
mediately coughed or laughed down. Never
theless, there are many able persons in Par
liament who, though not in possession of" the
gift of the gab," as the Irish familiarly call it,
have a good deal to say upon certain subjects.
For the life of them, these gentlemen cannot
make an off-hand speech. There are others,
who, with great eloquence, so much distrust
their own powers, that they, also, write out
their speeches, commit them to memory,
and recite them in public, with more or less
success. Among these last were two of the
most brilliant orators of the present age.
SHEIL mid MACAULAY almost invariably com
posed their speeches before speaking them, and
were listened to, not only with attention, but
delight and admiration. - Sometimes, when
excited by debate, SHEIL would speak on the
moment with force and eloquence; MACAULAY
rarely ventured so far. Of course, neither of
these orators—for orators they were, in the
higheSt sense, of the terra—ventured upon re
ply. At times Sum, who was more adroit
and more confident than MACAULAY, would
address himself to one or two points made
by a preceding speaker, but would speedily
glide into the prepared oration, and deliver
what, however plausible its appearance of in
stantaneity, all who heard him perceived to
smell of the midnight oil.
J. M. AUSTIN & CO
It is Bum En's misfortune not to be such
a ready speaker as a legislator who aspires to
a leading position ought to be. His voice is
weal: and shrill, and, moreover, from his af
fliction with partial deafness, he is unable to
modulate it properly, so as, by covering its
defects, to make them almost the servitors of
his will. Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S hesitation in
his speech, &MIL'S shrillness, ifAcAurav's
mixture of the lisp and burr would strike any
auditor unaccustomed to them with surprise
and pain, but the stammer is speedily subdued
by the speaker's earnestness; SHELL'S shriek
soon filled the house, in the subdued silence
of fixed attention ; and once that MAcAuray
was fairly in the heart of his subject, his
voice poured forth the rounded sentences with
the fullness of a baritone.
Unfortunately, BELWER has a weak, uncer
tain, and (from the cause we have stated) un
manageable voice. Neither is his manner
good, nor yet his aspect :—the first is cold,
and the second, with its hirsute appendages,
somewhat foreign. But the greatest misfor
tune is, his want of' that self-possession with
out which no one can hope to shine as a pub
lic speaker. He commits his speeches to
memory, and fine compositions they generally
are but, as he speaks them, the auditor can
not but perceive that the orator is by no means
at ease. From BELWER'S being hard of' hear
ing, he cannot catch the murmurs of the as
sembly before him, which would indicate ad
miration or its opposite, approval or dissent ;
he can but look into men's fades to see how
they receive his words. As for reply, he has
rarely attempted it,—but, when excited by
debate, has succeeded so well as to make his
friends lament more occasions for using that
ready weapon . did not occur.
Like most men who do not speak very well,
BULWER is fond of speech-making. Pos
sessed of considerable landed property, (his
mother's bequest,) he is one who cc has a stake
in the country." Like most English country
members, Sir EDWARD patronizes Agricultural
Societies, at which farmers exhibit stock and

green crops, clodhoppers plough furrows in
emulation for prizes, and aged laborers obtain
very small rewards for having brought up large
families without appeals to the pariah for
workhouse relief, or without being detected in
dining on snared hares and rabbits, netted
partridges, and hand-caught pheasants, which
are tamer, in the preserves, than barn-door
fowl.
The Ueda' Agricultural Society held its
annual meeting on the 24411 ultimo, and, as a
matter of course, Sir EDWARD &LIVER-Err-
TON was present. The custom of concluding
everything with a dinner is so common in
England that DOVOLAS JERROLD scarcely exa
gcratcd when he said that if London were to
be destroyed by fire, flood, or earthquake, the
survivors would celebrate the event by a din
ner amid the ruins. After each Agricultural
dinner there is - a good deal of public speaking,
each orator commencing hii address by a eulo
gizing the wise policy which, accepting such
meetings as perfectly neutral, excludes all
politic4l discussion—and then dashing right
into as • nuch politics as possible. This was
exactly what BULWER did, on the occasion re
ferred to. Nominally addressing the farmers,
who generally constitute the majority of the
cmpany, he spoke to the public, through the
reports.
His speech was carefully elaborated, and
took the listener round the world. He
touched upon Italy, Austria, Russia, France—
he " coaled " in the East, and just lingered a
moment at British Columbia—he coasted the
Pacific—and he crossed the Atlantic, to pay
his respects to this country.
Sir EDWARD BULWER-LiTTON thinks we are
in a bad way, but takes credit to himself for
having long foreseen our civil war ; he fore
told that it was inevitable ; he now predicts
that the young men who heard him would live
to see not two, but at least four, and proba
bly more than four, separate and sovereign
Commonwealths arising out of the United
States. He thinks such separation would be
attended with happy results to the safety of
Europe and the developement of American
civilization ; and he declares that had our
Union continued undisturbed no single King
dom in Europe could have resisted us, for that
4 ‘ America would have hung over Europe like
a gathering and destructive thunder-eloud."
Therefore, BrIATER of the many names rejoices
in the state of affairs here.
We have not space to discuss his proposi
tions now—it took so much to describe the
gentleman—but shall view them seriatim, to
morrow. It is worthy of notice that The
Times, anti-Atuerican though it be, treats the
Bulwerian speculations with decided con
tempt.
A Patriotic American.
Our wealthy fellow-citizen, JOSEPH HARRI
SON, Jr., whO has been abroad for more than a
year, attending to private business, writes a
letter to a friend in this city, dated Paris,
September 27, from which we are permitted
to make the following extract :
" Little did I think, when I left home, last Octo
ber, that our dear country, the land of all our
hopes, the pole-star of human Liberty throughout
the world, would so soon be engaged in a death
struggle for her existence as a nation. But the
event is upon us, the gage of battle is thrown, and
we of the North must fight it out like men. The
great family of man demands this, and we must not
shrink from the contest. No eompronazse, no
peare, until tbe soutbern oligarchy is brought to
its senses. The North must dictate the terms for
the settlement of this question, whichever way it
goes. Union is our national palladium, and I have
full faith that our country will yet be one harmoni
ous whole. The North must succeed in this conflict,
or good night to national self-government forever.
The jackals of despotism howl already, on this side
the ocean, and England, free England, leads the
pack. Let them be disappointed of their prey.
%dive them not the satisfaction of gloating over the
dead body of RepubliCan Liberty. But, enough of
this. You know well where I would be found at
this crisis, and with gladness I tell you that, in
nearly a year of travel in Europe, I have found
but few Amerittuis less earnest than myself in their
Union feelings."
Publications Received.
Many of onr readers will be glad to learn that
J. B. Lippincott 4t , Co. have just ready an octavo
edition, with portrait and several hundred engra
vings, of General McClellan's " Armies Of Eu
rope," being his celebrated Report on the military
systems of England, France, Russia, Prussia, Aus
tria, and Sardinia, made while he was Military Com
missioner in Europe, during the Crimean War, in
1855-56. The same house publishes the General's
other works-viz: Regulations and Instructions for
the Field Service of the United States in Time of
War; European Cavalry; and Manual of Bayonet
Exercises. The last-named is a translation from
the French, recommended by General Scott, in
December, 1851, and was prepared for the use of
the United States army.
From Samuel C. Upham, 310 Chestnut street,
we have the Illustrated News of the World, of
the 28th ult., with a full-length portrait on steel of
the Rev. Newman Hall, LL. 8., a popular Eng
lish dissenter, who preaches in Surrey Chapel,
Blackfriars, London, formerly under the ministry
of the exemplary and eccentric Rowland Hill,
and, after him, of Mr. Sherman. We also have
the illustrated London News, of the came date,
containing, with many other engravings, a view of
the nave of the building now being erected in Lon
don for the Great Exhibition of 1862, and two
sketches of the Great Eastern: one showing the
big ship being towed towards Cork Harbor, and
the other representing that "confusion worst con
:queued," the state of her grand saloon during
the gale, with furniture flying about, looking
glasses smashed, and passengers and seamen scat
tered on the floor in all directions, or falling about
in a perilous manner. By the way, in the last
number of the New York Albion, there is a very
graphic account of the accident, from the pen of
Mr. S. J. Ahern, the business partner in tho 414-
bion of f
icc ) whe was .a passenger in the mammoth
vessel. Mr. Ahern, it seems to us, has hit upon
the cause of the accident, when he blames the
Great Eastern Company " for sending the ship to
sea like an immense pontoon, twenty-six feet in the
water and thirty-one feet out of it—too light in
the opinion of many sea-captains, by at least ten
feet." From Mr. Upham, we also have the Octo
ber number of Tem/dollar, AIL Bales now maga
zine. The editor's own romance, " The Seven
Sons of Mammon," is the principal attraction this
month, and surely the Derby-day at Epsom Races
has never been so well described before.

How Foreigners View McClellan
The Montreal Herald, a paper that is now con
ducted with more ability than most Canadian jour
nals, has the following notice of General McClel
lan, in an article on " The war in the United
States !"
General McClellan is understood not to be very
communicative, and he may see in recent events
grounds for believing that whatever comparative
improvement has been effected in his army, the ab
solute standard of efficiency is not high enough to
warrant any hazardous enterprise. The repetition
once more of the often-repeated blunder of one
corps of Federalists firing upon another shows a
nervousness and precipitation which cannot be re
assuring to a commander, whose reputation depends
not upon tke skilfulness of his own dispositions, but
upon the steadiness with which they are carried
out.
The wanton and barbarous destruction of proper
ty by the Federalists upon occupying again the po
sitions vacated by the Confederates does not con
vey any high idea of even their present discipline.
McClellan, therefore, may hesitate still, for in
deed the cause for which he fights cannot afford
any . more disasters. Strong as the North is in com
parison with the South in most of the elements of
warlike power, the war has been for her arms almost
a uniform succession of disgraces. It is the hard task
of McClellan to restore the prestige which has been
lest, and in order to do this .he must not strike till
he feels secure that he can de so effectually,
In the meantime ho has boon fortifying Washing
ton in a manner which we understand is much ap
proved by British officers of large experience, who
have seen it, and has thus not only protected the
capital, but formed a rallying point in ease of
another disaster. Of course, there, is nothing more
easy than for domestic or foreign erities to show
That any commander is an ass up to the tune when
he shall have proved himself a warlike genius.
Wellington himself hardly maintained his position
against the wiseacres at home, whilehe was creating
the lines of Torres Vedras.
It will not be until after he shall have made his
stroke that the world will be able to judge of the
stuff of which McClellan is made, fur at present he
has never been matched against any enemy whose
defeat could be regarded as a great triumph. It is
so far in his favor, however, that impartial and
competent judges, both French and English, speak
in high terms of what he has done since he took
command.

AFFAIRS IN KENTUCKY.
Where is John C. Breekinridge
The locality of this notorious personage is mythi
cal indeed. One day we have the announcement
that he is fleeing toward Tennessee accompanied by
George B. Hodge and a whole coterie of lesser
lights. Next day, Hon. H. R. Stanton, ex-member
Of 0011Ste#11 from the Mayas-Me district le arrested
and sent to Fort Lafayette for expressing an earn
est desire that Breckinridge would push forward
some indefinite column of Confederates and take
possession of Maysville. Then, the good people of
Ashland, a beautiful village at the mouth of the
Big Sandy river; are alarmed at a supposed de
scent from some of his marauders, and the Home
Guards of Lewis county rush up the Ohio to as
sist in this vague defence. Even Henry Wads
worth, the member of Congress from the Maysville
district, raises the red cross "o'er hill and dale,"
and a thousand men come at his summons to march
against him upon whose shoulders " the mantle of
Clay (it was arrogantly said) had fallen." But
their march was rendered unnecessary, for the very
mythical assailants had disappeared. After having
located the late 'Vice President at Grayson, the
county seat of Carler county, Kentucky, they
now transfer him to Prestonburg, the seat of justice
for Floyd ; the latter county being the second
south from Carter toward the Tennessee line.
There seems now but little doubt that the fugitive
has found a temporary abiding place at this point.
Prestonburg
Is situated on the West Fork of Big Sandy river,
the stream which divides Kentucky from the Old
Dominion through a space of over one hundred
miles. This village is right in the mountains ; its
location is high and healthy ; its water very flue,
and altogether it could be formed into a strong
military position. It seems, however, as the moun
taineers in that region neither own nor feel any very
deep interest in " Sambo," that Secession does not
thrive well. The principal recruits he has are
from the " Blue Grass counties," as they are
called. This is the name gilien among the moun
taineers to such counties as Mason, Bourbon,
Fayette, Woodford, etc., where that kind of grass is
grown, and where large quantities of cattle are
grazed. They bear to the mountain counties, in point
of richness of soil and cultivation, somewhat the re
lation which the lowlands bore to the highlands of
Scotland in former days.
There are three or four hundred people at this
town. It is probable, as the Big Sandy is navigable
for steamboats for a full hundred miles, that it is
now being used to introduce contraband goods from
the North into Tennessee and Virginia, as they can
no longer pass through Paducah, Smithland, Louis
ville, or Maysville. It may be that Breekinridge
has chosen this locality for this very purpose.
George B. Hodge
Is the son of William Hodge, of Mayslick, Mason
county, Ky. The old gentleman is a sound Union
man, with every interest and feeling of his heart
enlisted on behalf of our nationality. The son re
ceived an education as midshipman in the navy,
and served several years in that capacity. On
account of intense deafness he resigned. Upon his
return to Kentucky he became active in politics.
He married into the family of Cel. Tibbets, a De
mocratic member of Congress from the Covington
district during Mr. Polls Administration. Re
ceiving the Whig nomination against Richard H.
&anion (now in durance vile for his treasonable
sentiments), he came very near beating him in a
district heavily Democratic. Since then he has
boxed the political compass. At one period a vio
lent American, he has since become a pseudo De
mocrat, and was, in 18€4, a violent partisan for
Breekinridge and Lane_ Such is the principal fol
lower of John C. Rrockinridge amid his falling
fortunes. Possessed of brilliant declamatory pow
ers, he is a creature of impulse, full of dashing,
go-ahead bravery, and with no inconsiderable
experience in naval affairs, and he will doubtless
perish in some mad-cap attack upon the Federal
troops. If not attached to the staff of Breckin
ridge, who is to be made a brigadier general in the
Confederate service (if that appointment is not
already made), he will doubtless be attached to the
cavalry.
Gen. .Nelson
Is also a native of Mason county, and is at present in
command of the camp at Washington, in that coun
ty. Having been educated in the navy, and having
attained the rank of captain, he was detailed last
spring to command the Ohio river fleet of gunboats.
His extensive acquaintance with the people of Ken
tucky, and his large relationship in that State,
pointed to him as a proper person during the bad
health of Om. Anderson, to be sent into Kentucky
to sound the loyal sentiment of that State, and to
strengthen it. Accordingly, as early as April, he
went thither, and began the formation of a camp,
and the recruiting of troops at a point between
Garrardsville and Danville, since known as " Camp
Dick Robinson."
Sometime since, Col. George H. Thomas,. of the
Second Cavalry, proceeded thither, having received,
the appointment of Brigadier General of Volua.-
tears, and assumed the command. Gen. Nelson. at
once was ordered to form a camp at Washington,
Mason county, Ky., for the enlistment of troops..
He is now in command there, and is recruiting with
great rapidity.
He is full forty years of age, with a massive phy.
slque and commanding presence. To fine natural
abilities, and large experience in arms, he adds
great energy of character, and fine judgment of
men. He it was who recently ordered, the &Treat
of Stanton, Caste, and Co., though they were old
friends and companions. He does not recognize
any relationships in life when duty demands their
prostration or sacrifice. Ms brother, Thema Nel
son, of Indiana, is our present minister to. Chili, and
his brother-in-law, J. Monroe Stockton, postmaster
at Maysville.
Washington.
The ;dint at which Camp Nelson is. being formed
is four miles from Maysville, or, in other words,
from the Ohio river. It was, for more than half a
century, the county seat of Mason--the seat of jus
tice having been transferred to Maysville about fif
teen years ago. The inhabitants of the town num
ber about one thousand, black and white. Here
resided and died, after a brilliant career at the bar,
Alexander, the brother of Chief Justice Marshall.
Here, also, ived and died one Judge McClung, the
brother-in-law of the Chief Justice, and the father
of Alexander K. McClung, so celebrated as a Mis
sissippi duelist, and who was lieutenant colonel of
the Mississippi regiment under " Jeff" Davis, at
Buena Vista, and who died a foto de Be, at Vicks
burg, a few years ago. His brother, John A. Mc-
Clung, who drowned himself in the Niagara river,
in 1859, was also from here. His career was re
markably brilliant, both as a lawyer and minister,
alternating during his life between both professions.
Washington is located in the midst of one of the
finest " blue grass " districts in Kentucky. A very
large majority of the people thereabouts are loyal
to the Union, and will make every sacrifice for it.
Gen. Nelson will have five thousand native Ken,
tuckians under his command before the first of No,
vember. This speaks well for the sentiments. of,
the people in that region.
Expedition to Cumberland Gap.
It is probable that Brigadier General Mitchell
will be placed in command of an expedition to
drive the rebels out of the Cumberland Gap, and
thence to carry the war into Tennessee. lie will
first take possession of the Cumberland. Ford, of

the rush of Ohio troops into Kentwity, has with

SOUTHERN NEWS.
Very Late from Richmond.
On Saturday night, Retry Kerne,ll, on old
farmer of Fairfax county, Virginia, who has been
a prisoner at Richmond for several weeks, arrived
in Washington, bringing with him a Richmond
Divatch of the 19th, and the Enquirer of the

terday, publishea the following synopsis of their
contents, which will be found quite interesting :
The Valiant Roger A. Pryor

says that "to recount the services of Colonel

The Electoral Tic
It being necessary to form a ticket of electors:
and the time being too short to call a Conventiolvof

tors should prepare a ticket. thus relieving the
people of the trouble of making selections. The
ticket thus formed has been presented. Among

Surgeons to be Examined
The bad surgery in the rebel army has called
forth an order to have them examined by a compe
tent board before they receive an appointment.
This has excited the indignation of the surgeons,

implied suspicion of their ability is retracted.
Corrupt Quartermasters.
A correspondent writing from Winchester, Tenn.,
says that he has sent eighteen packages of vege
tables and other comforts to the First Regiment
Tennessee Volunteers in Virginia, and they have
not been received. lie says the papers teem with
similar complaints, and also of delicacies, wines,

being consumed by dissipated surgeons, assistants,
and their hangers•on. The thinks the new Go
vernment is already as corrupt as the old one.
Quarrel between Floyd and the Officers
of the Wise Legion.
It appears that the officers of the Wise Legion
have disapproved of Floyd'e conduct, and pub-
Belted their oral:dime in the Richmond Enquirer,
at which Floyd is greatly grieved, and sends a let
ter to the Enyuirer, of which the following is an
extract:

particularly in the late actions on the Gauley and

calumniatory falsehoods, having no shadow of truth

less their malignity, is too obvious to permit me to
believe that they can be injurious, either to my

who love justice.'' In conclusion, he demands the

Few Wike.
Wise appears to have fallen from his high estate,
and to have failed in acquiring a high reputation
as a military man. There are many rumors afloat,
to his disparagement, but the Jeffersonville (Va.)
Democrat valiantly comes to his rescue, thus;
We will, however,
Veil -are the assertion that,
had the Government reinforced Wise at the pro
per time, his triumph over the Yankee forces and
Union traitors in Kanawha Valley would have
been as complete and brilliant as was his Water

1855."'

We are extremely sorry to learn that last eve

any improvement, and that his condition excited
very grave apprehensions.—Rielmonor Enquirer,

alarm and fired, wounding or. killing at least one of

reload his piece, they were where he could.not
