airs. But the latter power hastened to issue a proclamation of neutrality on the 13th of May, a few days before the arrival in London of the new representative of the United States, and as if to prevent any explanations which Mr. Adams might have wished to offer. The French government followed this example on the 11th of June. America, therefore, who had a right to rely upon the sympathies of abolitionist England in her struggle with slavery, and upon those of the land of Rochambeau and La Fayette, in her efforts to preserve the work of Washington, only found in the governments of those two countries doubting spectators, who like the friends of Job were ready to take advantage of her misfortunes in order to teach her a lesson. Russia, on the contrary, being more shrewd, hastened to tender her those assurances of deep interest to which, in the hour of great trial, nations are as sensitive as individuals, and showed thereby a political foresight in striking reproof of the other Europ

tery at the water's edge: all their cannons lined the summit of the cliffs at a height which it was difficult for the gunboats to reach, and where their simple recoil was sufficient to protect them against any direct fire. The task of Porter, who was ordered to reduce these batteries, was therefore a difficult one. He despatched four vesssels, the Pittsburg, the Louisville, the Mound City, and the Carondelet, to attack the lower batteries, whilst with the Benton, the Tuscumbia, and the La Fayette he opened fire upon the upper works. The vessels, finding it impossible to obtain a mooring, were obliged to fight under steam, while the current, driving them constantly among the eddies, imparted such irregularity to their motions as to affect the precision of their aim. In the mean while, the fire of the lower batteries, much less protected than the others, was silenced after a bombardment of three hours, the gunners being obliged to abandon their pieces, although they were not dismoun

tack Wauhatchie in flank or pass Raccoon Mountain to head off his adversaries at Shell Mound or Bridgeport. In the latter case he would have obliged them to evacuate Chattanooga, as he himself had been constrained to do by Rosecrans' march on La Fayette. We have no data in reference to the plans discussed in the Southern councils of war, but a subsequent report by Bragg seems to indicate that he could not make his personal opinion prevail. As famine was no longer an auxiliary in the matterorder to cover the right against the Federal troops which might come from Parker's Gap. A single line of skirmishers is along the edge of the river, and to encourage the enemy they even avoid destroying the bridge on the road from Ringgold to La Fayette. After a feint of defence in the last houses of the town they precipitately retire toward the gorge, accompanied by a battery of artillery.

. The interference of the Secretary of State can easily be explained. We can without difficulty and unreservedly broach this subject, as the Mexican expedition has been for some time definitely judged in France. The heroism of our soldiers blinds no one as to the reckless and adventurous policy of which they were the instruments and too often the victims. This policy, forgetful of the sound traditions of monarchy, seemed to speculate on the dangers that threatened the flag served by La Fayette and defended by Rochambeau, in order to acquire a sort of protectorate over the countries that, situated between the two seas, form the centre of the American continent. While the United States Government was engaged in a struggle that absorbed all its strength and paralyzed its action abroad, the French army, victorious at Puebla, occupied the city of Mexico, and the political aim of the expedition at once appeared. On the 10th of July some Notables, appointed by the provisional governm

l Creek Gap. Rocky Face Ridge thus offered positions easy to defend, but also easy to flank, and consequently without any strategic value. In fact, on the one hand the ridge terminates abruptly three or three and a half miles north of Mill Creek Gap, which allowed the enemy emerging from Ringgold to reach Crow Valley without difficulty; on the other hand, the neck of Snake Creek Gap, which on the south separates this same ridge from the Chattooga Mountains, being crossed by the road from La Fayette to Resaca, the Federals could by the very shelter of the wall of Rocky Face debouch on the rear of Johnston and threaten the large Coosawhatchie bridge Fortunately, the Federals were very inferior to the Confederates in number, the re-enlistment furloughs having much reduced the effective force of the divisions. Moreover, by a coincidence still more fortunate, at the very moment when his outposts signalled the movements of the Federals, Johnston was informed that Hardee's troops were retu

afayette her hearty reception. After he had been met and addressed by the mayor of the city at the Roxbury line, and the procession had passed through the principal streets, he was received in the Senate chamber by the governor and his council. Many gentlemen were then introduced to him— officers of the United States, of the State and city; members of the Society of the Cincinnati, with their venerable and distinguished President, Hon. John Brooks, late Governor of the Commonwealth. La Fayette recognized his old military and personal friend, at the first sight, and embraced him with great cordiality and affection. A few days later the whole Society of the Cincinnati waited on Lafayette and the president addressed the assembly. When the guest visited Charlestown, Friday, the 27th of August, the two comrades were again together, and when Brooks told him about the association formed for erecting the monument to commemorate the battle of June 17, 1775, Lafayette was pleased and

not of a partizan nor a sectional one, but the practice, on the contrary, is to infuse as much unit-slavery into it as circumstances or the patience of the auditory will permit. "If men who have contributed so much to inflame human passions, and to place the two great divisions of our country in a hostile attitude towards each other, substituting animosity and discord for brotherly love, will insist upon coming before the people, when the storm is howling in God's name let them come; but let it be not to make matters worse, but to join their efforts to ours, to restore peace, remove anxiety, restore confidence, and save the Union!" The subject of Sumner's lecture was La Fayette, and in the course of it he managed to thrust his offensive views about slavery upon the audience. Yet it is such men as this that are called upon to instruct the people, whilst the conservative men of the North, the Cushings, the Hunts, the Dickinsons, &c., are studiedly kept in the back ground.
