of discipline can destroy ‘his individ
uality. Four month* of industrious-drill is
ample time to prepare such treops for effective
service. Prolonged inactivity will dually dis
courage his zeal. The prospect of action must
be ever present as an incentive. luactiOß is
tho bane of the volunteer. These opiniotia I
express with confidence, for I have had a large
personal experience in tho management of
volunteer soldiors. The training of twd dis
tinct regiments daring the Mexican war,with
subsequent labors in Kansas, and the cam
paigns of the last Spring and Summer in Mis
souri, has given mo a practical knowlodge on
this subject entitled to consideration. Tho
regiments that fought and won tho battle of
Buena Vista were not as well provided as the
Army of the Potomac, and no* better drilled.
Sir, I have witnessed tho drill of that army ;
and I am satisfied that it has reached the max
imum of discipline by volunteers, and that
every day of inaction now tends to its demor
iliration. While, also, a* regards discipline,
we are as fully prepared for action as we ever
shall be, we have theadvantage of .superiority
in that respect to the enemy. Every' anpro- ,
jndiced observer during tho Mexican wir will
testify that the regiments from the North, in
the exeelleneo of their drill far exceeded those
from the States now in rebellion. Our! oppo
nents are formidable only when thei} indi
viduality can be shown while fighting un
der cover, as at.Manassas, Springfield, and
Ball’s Bluff. Operating in mass, on the open
field, wo can always coaqucr, asat Dry Wood,
where four hundred Kansas troops checked
and drove back ten thousand rebel*. And of
these facts the Confederates are themselves
folly aware. —Recently, at Bpring river, eight
hundred Kansas troops encountered aif thou-,
sand rebels, covered by that stream and eix
miles of timber. This handful of hertic men
offered a fight on the open prairie, which was
declined by the enemy, either because they
expected us to repeat the folly of attacking
them in their timber-stronghold, or ftared a
defeat without Us protection. It will require
on our part rapidity of movement and bold
ness of strategy ty force them into a battle on
the open field. So much for efficient That
heroic veteran, the l»te Lieutenant-General of |
the Army, now forced by age and infirmity ,
into a retirement made glorious by the mem- ]
cries of a long life of patriotism and tHumph,
announced the fact that the Ides qf ‘October
would see bis columns .prepared t 6 move.
Hence it is'impossible not to believe that they
are*by this, time complete in arms,equipment,

a a.'* 1 * *
Such are the facta of this most important
case, which raises one of the most: serious
questions between the government* of Eng
land and America whieh has arisen since the
year 1812, when the right of search Produced
hostilities. On the arrival of the Trent the
Admiralty agent left at once for London to
report the transaction to the Admiralty. ‘ The
news in a few minutei Spread over England,
and, as may be suppoisea, produced mingled
feelings of amaiementl excitement and indig
nation. A great meeting was at once-held in
sober Liverpool to consider the matter, and
a unanimous resolution was adopted, calling
on the government to assert the dignity _of
the flag- Some of the tory -Lon
.don evening journals repeat the.same demand;
and it is said—but we question the authen
ticity of.the statement —that a Cabinet coun
cil was immediately convened to consider the
propriety of giving Mr. Adams, the American
Minister, his passports. Before suoh a:deci
dod stop is taken, the government, we may be
sure, will act with that caution whieh is de
manded by such extraordinary circumstances.
The London Stock Exchange became some
what depressed en the receipt of the intelli
gence, a result:which does ; not surprise us
when we reflect on the consequences of misun
derstanding between the two countries which
might ultimately lead to hostilities. The ques
tion involved in this act is, after,all, in
ternational Anc, which jurists will-have to decide.
The frank avowal of the Commissioners of the
character in which r they embarked on board
the British bottom, and of-the purpose: for
which they sought the protecting shield of.
the British flag, narroiot the.inquiiy within a
eery . mall compass. They wire American
citwens,' and had left their own shores as th e
accredited agents of govern-i
ment’i which has levied: war,against the gov
eminent of the United States... TheCommis- 1
sloners 'were, in fact, engaged in an overt act \
of war against tho government of the United ,
.States, sgainstwhich they had revolted when
-pursuing tfle mission.on which they were des-' 1
patched by the “provisional government" of
the revolted States. Does the international
code recognize the righto/ partite to, forward to
the revolted subjects of o government arms,am
munition, money, comminariat, or “other aid*/
under the protection of a friendly /hgf Wo :
believe all jurists win admit that no friendly
i flag, no matter koto powerful the nation to which
it belonged, could legally . protect from > t«=ur* ;
either the “arme” or other “eomforti intended
to be supplied to the revolted subject* of a friendly
government, or the parties'who, beingsubjects of
that-friendly state,, were engaged in conveying
suchaids, : Teh position of. the accredited
agent* carrying despatches, or journeying on
to meet and vise'despatches forwarded by the
government of the revolted States for the pur
posed promoting and. forwarding the views
of the rival ..government set up by them, is
not very different from that of men Harrying
arms, or money; or other aids to the revolted
subjects. The admissions of the commission
ers place all the facts beyond dispute; sad
