Cuba, N. Y. (New York, United States) (search for this): article 7
He sets to work with such speed that Washington, which went to bed in very poor spirits one night, found that the evil had vanished in twenty-four hours, and that next night she could sleep in peace. The citizen soldiery were-astonished and were indignant, but they were nevertheless arrested and "blockaded," and I confess it gave me infinite satisfaction to observe the very salutary results of the process. Views of a Spanish officer. Gen. Lana, who commands the Spanish troops in Cuba, has been over here on a tour, and he expressed to me his profound astonishment at the state of things visible in camps at the other side of the Potomac. He was here, however, at a bad time — just after the flight from Manassas. His criticisms, however, on lazy sentries, on slovenly and Ill equipped troops, on dirty arms and accoutrements, were just. Above all he was amazed that in any army of recruits there was no drill or exercise to be seen. Company drill is not much attended to; the b

be honestly indifferent to the results, for they must affect Europe just as any great disturbance in any State must produce an impression on the rest of the world. It is useless to say that we are not jealous of the grandeur and glory of the United States, for the national, vanity would regard the things as impossible. It is, indeed, impossible to regard with indifference the fight which has such enormous interests and great principles involved in the issue, but it is unfortunate for the UnitUnited States that it has by turns affronted nearly every Government in Europe; and left to itself only that natural sympathies of the people of those who appear before them as the friends of liberty. There is one thing to be said about civil wars — they do not last long. It is probable that the "exceptionalism," if one may use the word, on which the Americans rather pride themselves, will not prevail in the case of the struggle between the North and the South.

Capitol (Utah, United States) (search for this): article 7
ng. As I passed the State Department the other day, I observed on the ground great columns of marble in wooden coffin-like cases lying by the road side; near the White House there was similar food for ruins. Above the unfinished dome of the capitol rises a great machinery of seaffoldage and leverage, motionless and lifeless, and around the very building in which Senator and Representatives keep high debate, lie the vast fragments which at some future day are meant to supplement arch and dorounded before they are completed by the evidences of what they must be when they shall have been destroyed. Before the republic has finished its temples the worship of the deities to whom they are erected is assailed by terrible heresies. The capitol can never see within its dome the Senators and deputies of the Union, of which it seems no inapt type in its aspiring incompleteness. Can any even of the powers most menaced and affronted by the republic rejoice in its researches among the frag

st possible that they may be preparing to strike some great blow. Quiet reigns. There is less of that wild, guerilla sort of work between the two armies than was formerly the case, but the attitude of the Confederates is not that of a very confident or aggressive force. One does not hear either of the vigorous advices to drive the enemy from the sacred soil of Virginia, which were so rife, nor even of the hot menaces to take Washington, nor even of the earnest promises to liberate Maryland and other afflicted portions of the slaveholding sisterhood. There may be a policy in this, and, not withstanding the growing opposition of one or two papers in the South to the men and measures of the war, the influence of Mr. Jefferson Davis is quite sufficient to induce the press to keep its peace or adopt any tone he may suggest in furtherance of the common cause. Reorganization on both sides. They can organize a transport corps in time. There are plenty of excellent mules in

His criticisms, however, on lazy sentries, on slovenly and Ill equipped troops, on dirty arms and accoutrements, were just. Above all he was amazed that in any army of recruits there was no drill or exercise to be seen. Company drill is not much attended to; the battalion drill is of the most elementary character; and, indeed, with the exception of the skirmishing at Cairo, I have never seen anything but ordinary advance in line, or marching past at slow time, or at the double in column of companies or of subdivisions, and such common movements. This generally results from the ignorance of the officers as much as from the incompetency of the rank and file. European sentiment. The United States army and navy will be made worthy of the young Republic, and in their hearts men rejoice at the prospects of a "strong government" which must come, thoug

ats, canteens, knapsacks and accoutrements of all kinds distributed among them, to the great relief of the Confederate treasury. Meanwhile, the army of the United States is undergoing a complete reorganization in the face of the enemy. The old army of volunteers and three months men may be looked upon as annihilated, or, at all events, dissolved. It would be curious to ascertain how many of them will re-enlist, even under different officers. The affair at Manassas not only destroyed McDowell's army, but it gave a heavy blow and great discouragement to the very spirit of the American system, by which men were placed in positions they had no fitness for, and large masses of armed men were assembled whom it were delusion to consider as an army. Mr. Davis saw the mischief long ago, and, by special act of Congress of the Confederate States at Montgomery, he seized the power of appointing officers. Discipline.

It is hard to teach Americans discipline.--Their regular army has been for the most part composed of Germans and Irish. The people are averse to obedience in principle. Yesterday evening, as I was riding through Georgetown, I saw an officer "fall in" his men to go on some patrol or relief. They were drawn up by the side of the street, "What have you got in that bottle?" said the officer to one of his men. "Whiskey." "Let's have a dram," quoth the affable subaltern. "Don't take it all, then," responded the proprietor, producing from his haversack the black bottle, which had been detected by the eagle eye
