limit fVuift Pii(IsiiiI'h Tweiitj.
tlin-c It 'ir Win i i tl Prance.
In the bit number of the Xcw York
LahiT Mr. EviTctt takes issuu with the
Kuglinh jouninlisU who arctic that our
struggle with the rcbrllion ia hopeless nml
unreasonably prolonged. He c ites numerous
historical precedents to prove that we have
accomplished greater results in sixteen
months than England, in ullianee with all
the powers ol Europe, was utile to achieve
in twenty-three years, while battling against
the French.
The following arc some of the precedents
which are cited by Mr. Everett :
"If w e except the victories of Enuhtnd at
(sea and the coiuinrst of the maritime eolo-
nic.-i ot 1- rancr the rcsulu ut tho naval
superiority (it'tirent llritinn. nnd wbieli tuny

of Ihe niivtil o)ei ;itions ut tlio I'nited States,

eil fur netirly twenty years an almost tinWo
ken series of reverses ; of feehly rondticted
abortive, and sonielimes fiirl 1 1 Til 1 !v disas
trous expeditions, such as that :ijrain-t Wal
eheren. on the part of Kiio-hmd, nnd shame
ful defeats, territorial partitions and dynastic
overtnriis on the part of her allies. In fact,
the historian Alison, not inelined certainly
to lnionit'y tlie prowess of Frnnee, nor
disparage that of Kiifrland and her allies,
after ltiiinin the gallant llt iti.-lt olfieers who
led the sti.nnini; arties nt the assault of
Caudad Kodrio, on the llthof .January,
1S12, (just twenty years from the invasion
of Fiance hv the Prussians), enthtisiastienlly
exclaims, 'with the exploits of these hrave
men iil'tiAN the fall of the French empire!'
"'lint tiie I'nion forces' t it is said) 'are
constantly rrlrcatinir. con-lautly defeated,
you are otttiuiml'cred and outoonrralcd ;
anin we tell you il is wicked to carry on
tlie war ; your cause is hopeless.' Is it more
so than that of the allies when the Duke of
l.rtmswiek was beaten hack from the heights
of Yaltny in ITii'J: when the allies were
defeated anil the Duke of York driven from
Dunkirk by Hotiehard in ITiKl, 'an event.' I
says Alison, 'which ch.itio'ed the whole face :
of the war from thet.crman ocean to the
Mediterranean sea;' w hen .lotirdan cleared
I!c!j'ium of the allied forces in 1 T 0-1 ; when i
the lir-t coalition was dissolved by the peace !
of liasle in lT'J.'i: when, in IT'.lii. the first 1
marvelous caiupai.un of llonaparto comnten- '
eed in Italy, which after a series of victories 1
unparalleled in modern history, ended in the
treaty of C'ampo Forntio in ITU? ' Is our ;
eau.e le.-s promising than that of the allies '
w hen the Uritish navy, their lilit nnn.
which seldom struck but to compter, was
paralyzed by the great mutiny of 17U7, and
the Hank of Knuland suspended specie
payment not tube resumed for twenty years ;
when, in 171IS, the rebels, sustained by a
French auxiliary force, defeated the Knglish
army and established a provisional govern
metit of the heart of Ireland ; when, iu 17'Jil
the Duke of York, at the close of the sixth I
year of the war, evacuated Holland, with
tht! fragments of the ereatest force which
I had been lilted out from Fii'dand din iiiT the
(contest, thus breaking up the second coali- J ..
; moil, atnt conunntm;. stiys Alison, 'in a
signal degree, both on the continent ami at
, home, the general impression that the F.ng
! lish soldiers had irrevocably declined from
llietr lornier high renown.
"Is our cau.-c as hopeless as that of the '
fillies, w hen Napoleon in istltt, running the '
; gauntlet of the Nelson's licet, returned from j
Fgypt. overthrew the Directory, raised an ,
! army by stamping his foot on the ground, I
! hurst the passage of St. (Milliard, recovered i

and thus enabled Moreau to move forward!
to that of Hohcnliuden.
inden. and compelled

I Austria to sii;n ano
l.uneville i Are our lunsiiects darker than
! those of 1'nglaud when at the close of the
fust decade of the war, she dismissed 'the
i pilot that Weathered the storm,' celebrated
' il grand apotheosis of imbecility in the per
son (if the Addintnn ministry, stud patched
l up the peace of Amiens, without the attain
ment of any one of the objects for w hich a
' ruinous war of ten years had been waged ;
j Is our future less hopcfij than that of the
! allies, when this hort lived truce was broken,
' and the Fiupcror Napoleon, having held the
entire arms bearing population of Knglaud
on foot for months, to repel a threatened
invasion, broke into Gerninnv in ISO.1), shook
the wretched .Mack and thirty-three thousand
veterans out of I'lm by the fear of his name,
struck the terrific blow at Austerlitz, which
laid Austria for a third time at his feet,
abolished the Holy Konian Empire, and
broke the lion heart of l'itt ; Are not our
chances of final success at least as good as
those of tho allies the following years, When
Prussia was reduced to the dimensions of a
province hy tlie overthrow at Jena, and
Kitssia, tamed and subdued nt Eyhiu and
Friedland, w as content to accept the peace
of Tilsit.
"Did the prospect btigliton for England
when Juuot, in 1S()8, inarched with a French
army through Spain, established himself as
il eonnucror nt J.tshen, and drove tho house
of Ilragan.a into exile bevond the sea: or.
hen all that was effected bv the auxiliary
forces of England, was the convention of
("intra by which that French army was sent
home in safety, and the liritish generals who
negotiated it (Sir Arthur YVcllesloy among
the rest (were recalled in disgrace to Eng
land ? Have wc any greater reason for
discouragement than England, after the
disastrous retreat of Sir John Moore from
Spain his noble army demoralized by his
flight, which was precipitated to such a
degree that casks of dollars were abandoned
and rolled down the mountains. That
retreat was conducted indeed with Iloman
fortitude by the gallant commander and
crowned with glory by the heroism of its
close, although in tho words of the national
historian, a sort of despair seized upon the
public mind of England, when tho news
came that 'the .British army instead of
making Napoleon prisoner in the heart of
Spain, was expelled, after a disastrous
retreat, w ith the loss of its general, from the
Spanish peninsula,' Napoleon a prisoner
in Spain.'
"Scarcely had the retreat of Sir John
Mooro commenced, when tho tidings being
brought to the French Emperor then in
Spain, that Austria was preparing for war,
lie rushed back to Franco, raised an army,
marched on Vienna, which capitulated on
his approach, and after superhuman strug
gles and perils on tho Danube, gained the
decisive victory of Wagram, which laid
Austria for a fourth time in the dust, if
fortune, seemed, about three weeks after the
battle of Wagram, to smile upon the cause
of the allies in Spain, by the victory of Wel
lington at Talavera, so honorable to him and
the liritish arms, that transeietit smile was
soon changed to her wonted frown. For
the best of military and political reasons.
Lord Wellington abandoned Spain, withdrew
with his nnuy into Portugal, and entrenched
himself w ithin the three fold lines of Torres
Veilras.
"Wc are told indeed that the inauspicious
and unfriendly tone ol the British press
represents the feelings neither of the govern
ment nor of a majority of the people of
England, anil this there is reason to believe.
The steadiness with which Lord Palmerston
has resisted the clamors for intervention,
nnd the rebuke administered by Lord Kits
sell to the blockade-runners from Nassau,
who, after violating every principle of the
law of nations, have the effrontery to demand
the protection due only to honest trade, are
much to the credit of those ministers ami
the government of w hich they are the heads.
We cannot perhaps much wonder that the
public press of England, with a few homira
lile exceptions, is, in this respect, so little in
harmony w ith the temper and policy of the
government, when we remember with what
ferocity the conduct of their own general ;
and the policy of their own rulers was
assailed in th
war ot the I rciteh revolution.
Y e loreigtiers certainly cannot expect to In
more handsomely treated than their own
ministers, their own commanders, their own
country, during the various fortunes of the
great contest over which we have just east a
glance. 'The editors of the daily pros."
says Colonel Napier, with reference to tint
convention of ('intra, 'broke forth w ith such
a torrent of rabid malevolence, that nil feel
iugs of right and justice were overborne,
and the voice of truth entirely stilled by tlie
ob.-t repcrous cry."
Out 1" l.ai iicr.
I How beautiful are the noses on the Eovp
! tian sculptures ! Yon may spend hours' in
! studying them on covers of porphyry sarco
phagi. Until' you would have ail'the ma
jesty of a nose, look at the Greek .Jupiter;
or if all the masculine beauty, study the
Apollo.
II you turn to the lett on tirst entering the
liritish Museum, you pass into a gallery of
ltotnan portrait busts. Several arc of doubt
ful or unknown personages, and a number. I
mn sorry to nh.-crve, have lost their noses by
the accidents of fifteen or t wenty ceiilut ies ;
but there are the busts and nose's entire, and
to all appearance faithfully accurate, of
Julius Ca'sar, Augustus. Nero, Domiiian.
Antonimus. Caligula, and a few imperial
ladies. Suppose one were to transpose the
two noses of Nero and Julius Casar. Each
face would he made monstrous. Zero's is
monstrous as it is. lie has been called hand
some, but his nose is that of a demon of
cruelty and lu-t. And this notion of a trans
position of no.es reminds me that the change
of this one feature is ail that is necessary for
the mo.-t effectual di-guise. A false no'e is
as delusive as an entire mask. A false eve
must be matched in color w ith the true oiie
or there is a disagreeable contrast: but a
man who has the misfortune loreipiireafaNe
nose must get one in harmony with his whole
face, and one w hich is therefore a true ex
pression ol his character, or the effect will be
j very unpleasant. No two faces tire alike;
j no two noses will suit the saute face; ami
none hut a nose ol wax will suit two faces.
I -xosc ot wax: A pliahlo character is
; one w hose nose may be moulded to any
contour.
If you look tit the progress of (he indvid
llal life, the contour of the noc marks all its
stages. Who ever saw a baby with a Komau
or aiptiline nose, or even a Grecian.' The
baby-no.-c is a little snub, the nose of weak
ness nnd undcvclopment. The child's nose
keeps its inward curve ; in youth il straight
ens; and then comes in certain characters
and races, the bold, out ward curve of the
aiptiline or the slrongcr prominence of the
,.,.,, ; ; ' V,,
rested development. And wo
toman.
It may stop anv point in this
nt a case ot ar-
pment. And wcall leel :tist mct-
ivcly that a certain shaped nose is tin
index of a certain character.
propel
When I had pondered Lavater. and sttr-
j vcyed antiquities in stone and brone, fres
' coes and va.-,cs. I looked into the coll. ctions
j of portraits of distinguished men. looking
I especially, as we always do and must look,
j tit the most prominent feature. What wonder
, I'ul nosis they have! There was not such a
nose in till Europe, in his lime, as that worn
upon the face of the Emperor Charles V. ;
: and those of Henry IV.. Pone Alexander
VII., Charles XII. of Swecn. and Frederick
11. of Prussia, w i re scarcely less remarkable.
The fierce nose of the youthful Napoleon,
compacted into the massive one of tint Em
peror; and then, for a soldierly and heroic
nose, where would you look fin- a liner one
than that which marked, among a million,
the striking face of Wellington,' All that
was grcatin firmness, patience, and heroism
in the character of Washington, is stamped
upon his nose.
Disloyalty IN Illinois. The correspon
dent of the Chicago Tribune from Spring
field, Illinois, announced that loyal demo
crats of that State are denouncing the action
of tlie recent Hreckinridge State Convention.
He says ;
"The War Democrats here are on the ram
page. General McClernand, Judge Scutes
and other gentlemen of that side of the
democratic house openly repudiate it. Gen.
John A. Logan has already done h in ad
vance, in a very strong speech delivered at
Carbondale. Judge Scutes was treated in a
most itngentlenianly manner, in the Conven
tion, llo offered a series of resolutions en
dorsing Mr. Lincoln's letter lo Horace Gree
ly, and urging a vigorous prosecution of the
war: but they were lain ou the table with
out reading.
"The Douglas Democrat in the northern
part of the State cannot go where John A.
McClernand and John A. Logan refuse to
lead, and they will not. A delegate from
Stephenson county, in Committee, offend a
part of Douglas'" hist speech the great
speech of his life to be incorporated into
tho resolutions. Hut A. L. Knapp, u Mem
ber of Congress from this district, fairly
scouted at him, and tho Stephenson gentle
man left in disgust."
An old gentleman traveling some year
ago, inside the Hath mail, had two hulki,
sisters, for companions. The younger, an
invalid noon fell asleep, and tho old gentle
man expressed his regret to sco so charming
a young lady in ill health. -
"Ah, yes indeed," sighed tho elder sister,
"a disease of tho heart."
"Dear ine !" was the sympathetic response,

The San Francisco papers contain full
details of tho disaster to the Pacific mail
e.teamer Golden Gate. From some of the
statements made by the survivors of the
wreck we copy the following interesting
incidents :
A LADY'S F.XI'KltlKNTES.
Mis. Gough, a first-cabin passenger, says :
"Most of the passengers in our boat,
finding we were drifting to sea, began

IIl'iioic Coniutt of Two L. I il i:s.- The

Spartan courage. For many mouths a beau
tiful specimen of the national tlag has floated
from the resilience of Mrs. Taylor, an esti
mable widow lady, and when the Kehels
took possession of Danville, w as but natural
that they should seek to remove the hated
emblem. A squad of half-a-dozen men were
sent lo Mrs. Taylor's residence, to take pos
session of the Hag, but they were confronted
tit the door of the residence by Miss Maria
and Miss Matti Taylor, the two accomplish
ed and charming daughters of the patriotic
widow, the young ladies announcing their
determination to defend the cherished ban
ner. The chivalrous half-dozen returned to
their commander and reported that it would
require a force equal to a full company to
capture the Hag, and a company was ac
cordingly despatched to make thu capture
Arriving in front of Mrs. Taylor's residence,
the commander of the company demanded
the surrender of the ling ; but the two young
ladies again made their iippeuraticc, bearing
tho llag between them, each armed with a
revolver. In response to the demand for tho
tlag, tho ladies informed their persecutors
that they would never surrender ittolfcbcls,
and, drawing their pistols, vowed that they
would shoot the first Hebel that pollutud the
sacred emblem with his foul touch. The
company of Kcbols retired, leaving ihe ladies
in quiet pofcsession of their flag, which they

The irrepressible George Francis Train, of
Host on, spoke in the Academy of Music in
Philadelphia last, night, on feturhing from
Washington. He made a characteristic
"spread eagle" speech, spiced with the usual
amount of egotism, and among other tilings,
said ;
"I have found the English people out.-
They are a nation of cowards. Slap them
in the face; kick them; and there i no tight

where I saw Mr. Seward, and in conversa

the Tuscarora for instance, have been refused
the privilege of obtaining coal in English

wretched condition . Let me tell you the
reason. Their customary wages are eighteen
pence per diem (thirty-seven cents'), out of
which they must support their families and
pay taxes.
"The people are so enslaved by tlie aris

receive eighteen pence per day, ami live;
when famine comes they get nothing, and

the greatest.' The slave loves his country
more than his liberty.

assure you, w ith all my partiality tor my
own countrymen and prejudices against
them, I cannot but consider them the llowcr
of the American army. They are a strong,
vigorous and hardy people, inured to labor
and toil, which our people seldom are ; and
though our hot and eager spirits may suit
better in a sudden and desperate enterprise
yet iu the way in which wars are now carried
on, you must look for permanent advantages
only from that patient and persevering tem
per which is the result of labor.
"The New Englandcrs arc cool, conside

a stability of i liar li ter to w hich the people

We find the following account of the pri

the inspection of his illtlsti 'tons father' re-m-.ins,
in this week's issue of the Plymouth
Hock :
The tomb of Marshfield once ngain opens
wide its portals to receive the last, of the
sons of tl Great Expounder."
The funeral of Col. Fletcher Webster took
place in Marshfield on Wednesday, Sept. 10.
The body w as brought dow n from Holon in
a richly comparNoncd hearse, with four
horse, by way of Htnginan and South Shore.
Several couches conveyed his Boston friends
from the Kingston depot, while a large as
semblage gathered from the neighboring
towns. Itev. M. Ahlen, thn village pastor,
conducted the services, the body resting on
his father's writing tabic in the library, ac
cording to his dying request. A large pro
cession followed his bodvto the tonib.whcre
j t,ln coffin was deposited with the family
"iioni a nation mourns.
Hy request of Peter Harvey, Esq., and
others, thn oaken box containing the great,
statesman's coffin was opened, anil the me
tallic, cover of the glass removed. How were,
the feelings of those personal friends stirred
w ithin them to find those lineaments and
features which no man ever looked upon to
forget, retaining the same color and impress
natural as when ten years ago they gave
him up to the grave.
The eyes were more sunken, but the heavy
shadows beneath the brows were always
there in life. Even in death, and for a de
cade the captive of a grave, that kingly
presence inspired the same deep revert -net!
and speechless awe as when in the liv ing
temple of his matchless mind.
Said ono who looked upon his face again,
"I forgot all else, ami cannot tell you any
thing of the tomb or surrounding objects."
The velvet pall with its rich embroidery was
in perfect, preservation, though deprived of
its primitive gloss.
In silence the lid was dropped nnd tho
box reclosed. Farewell, thou great depart
ed ! Earth's communion with the is o'er.
No more shall human eye behold that face
over which thought and feeling once Hashed
the light and shadoof that "imperial mind."

Honor to IVnnssj Ivuiiiu.
There is no doubt that the sudden and
swift rising of such a vat body of Penn
salvania State Volunteers (T"), 000 men) and
throwing them on the Southern border of
the State, litis had a great deal to do with
cooling the Hebel desire for a march upon
Haltimore, or an invasion of Pennsylvania,
and may have had little to do with their
flight out of Maryland. These volunteers
were this week crossing over into Maryland
to protect their own State, by acting as an
immediate support to the National army;
and in many a contingency w hich might
have arisen, such a tremendous force might
have decided the fortunes of the day.
A very large proportion of this Pennsyl
vania army was from ihe rural districts and
the villages, and was composed of hardy
fellows, thoroughly familiar with shot-gun
rille a class w hich has not entered upon
this Wiir in any such number iu llteNorthern
States us thu same class has done in the
South and Southwest. They were out iu
the South by invasion, and il 'has been threat
ened invasion which hascnllcd lliemto arms
in Pennsylvania, as well as in Ohio and other
Free States. Formed into companies and
regiments, a very short time makes such men
fit for actual service in the field.
General Lee did not expect to have this
vast additional army to contend w ith w hen
lie entered Maryland. His blows were to be
so quick and heavy as to paralyze the. North
and induce it to accede to terms of submis
sion or disunion. But the people of Mary
land failed him; Haltimore was too hard a
nut for him to crack ; Washington was se
curely defended by an army twice as large as
his own, and a loyal hotprung out of tho
soil of Pennsylvania that was almost suffi
cient of itself in a few weeks to annihilate
his ragged Rebels. These gallant volunteers
of the Keystone State deserve all applause
for the alacrity with which they sprung to
arms, and the splendid patriotism they have
shown ; and even if they should takenopart
in the actual work of the battle-field, have
earned the honor and credit of having done
much to discourage and crush the Kehcllion.

The following extract from a private letter
ot Captain William T. Lush, a meritorious
ofiicer who Wiis Assistant Adjutant General
on the staff of Major-Gcucrni Stev ens, gives
interesting details of the manner of his Gen
cral's death. It was written immediately
after the battle of Chantilly, iu which Gen.
Stevens was killed.
"Whenever anything desperate was to be
performed Kearney nnd Stevens w ere always
selected with this dill'ercncc, though that
Stewns was rarely credited with wind he
i did, while Kearney's praises were very
properly published. ' On Monday's light the

in the rear of the Seventy-ninth regiment,

ing that he was able to move off without
j assistance, I continued to follow the regi-
j ment. Soon the General came up ou foot.
nave you seen your son : l asKccl. 'ies,
said he, '1 know that he is wounded,' and
then added : 'Captain l.usk, I wish you
would pass to the left of the line and push
the men forward iu that direction.' 1 did
as I was ordered, and on my return found
thai the General had been killed and thu
troops badly slaughtered.
"The General, you have read, was shot
while holding the flag of the Seventy-ninth
regiment in Ids hand. There were live men
shot holding the same llag in about twenty
minutes' time. 1 found the sixth man
standing almost alone, at the edge of some
woods, still dinging hopelessly to ihe colors.
I drew him back to the crest of a hill, a
couple of hundred yard, and gathered u
jew of the Scveiitv-ninlh about it. Kearney
then came riding up and asked the name of
the little hand? On being told, ho said,
'Scotchmen run must follow me.' Thev
told him thev had not a round of ammuni
tion left. 'Well, said he then stand where
you are, und it may be you wjll be able to
