t every step of his way, armies of hundreds of thousands of veterans, splendidly equipped, and led by the best military genius of their native lands, once made a threat somewhat similar to that of Sherman. But we submit that the achievements of Napoleon formed a better basis for such a menace than that of Sherman; that his neighborhood to England made an invasion more practicable; and that, having all Europe at his back, and possessing an amount of military talent almost, if not quite, equal to that of the Yankee general, a threat from his lips was not calculated to make Englishmen laugh. Nevertheless, even he never carried through that little enterprise; no hostile footstep profaned the soil of perfidious Albion, and Napoleon never reached any portion of her territories except St. Helena. And does Sherman think, because he has run through the State of Georgia, retreating in good order from Atlanta to Savannah, with not even "Major Jones" to dispute his progress, nor "Simon Suggs"

He must have been highly gratified and entertained. Although not now a representative of Britain, he might, by virtue of his long services in that capacity, have ventured on this occasion to return her thanks to General Sherman for the promised honor. But Mr. Barclay has lived a long while in New York, and has heard Americans talk before. The venerable Mr. Bull has, in general, a very quiet way of receiving American compliments of this kind. He really seems to regard Yankees as mere children, who do not know the full significance of their own language. As long as they confine their valor to words, he yawns in their faces.

St. Helena; In America, Upper and Lower Canada, the West Indies, Bermuda, Newfoundland, and all the lesser provinces of North America; in Oceanic, the whole of New Holland and New Zealand; Norfolk island and New Caledonia. These united territories contain a hundred and fifty millions of inhabitants, including the twenty-eight millions of the British isles. As to its commercial marine, two facts are sufficient to make its immensity known. It has nearly thirty thousand vessels, including those propelled by steam, besides eight thousand in the colonies; and in a single year it exports more than £28,000,000 cotton goods — an amount for a single article greater than the whole export of the manufactures of France for everything put together. And so, General Sherman, who has taken Savannah, is going to take London! He will pitch his tent in Hyde Park! Oh, most puissant! Let Victoria and the House of Lords hasten to the shore, with ropes about their necks, in token of submission
merce and manufactures yield a revenue superior to that magnificent landed estate; thanks to its inexhaustible mines, to its admirable system of internal communications, conducted by eighty six canals and seventy lines of railroad, in all, the general income of the British Empire is nearly £500,000,000 sterling. Its power among the nations is rendered manifest by the number and greatness of its fleets and dominions. In Europe it possesses the lesser islands which adjoin Great Britain--Ireland, Gibraltar, Malta, and the Ionian islands; in Asia, Hindustan, with its tributary States; Ceylon, and its forced allies in Scinde and the Punjaub — that is, almost an entire world; in Africa, Sierra Leone, with its dependencies, the Isle of France, Fernando Po, the Cape, and St. Helena; In America, Upper and Lower Canada, the West Indies, Bermuda, Newfoundland, and all the lesser provinces of North America; in Oceanic, the whole of New Holland and New Zealand; Norfolk island and New Caledo

on correspondent: "It was only the other day that Mr. Anthony Barclay, formerly British consul at New York, and now a resident in Savannah, was repulsed by General Sherman with the remark, that as soon as the rebels were disposed of (which he seemed to think would be done in a few months) the United States would turn their guns against Great Britain. He said the ocean would soon swarm with five hundred Federal cruisers, which would sweep the British flag from the sea; and that after England had been sufficiently reduced and exhausted, he would land upon her shores and pitch his tent in Hyde Park." We should like to have beheld the countenance of that worthy and respectable Englishman, Mr. Anthony Barclay, upon this announcement. He must have been highly gratified and entertained.

fes to General Sherman. But it will not compromise the dignity of that majestic beast if we, who have no authority to speak for the Lion, nevertheless venture to suggest certain considerations on his behalf which may tend to palliate his disrespectful mode of treating American grandiloquence. When General Sherman promises to pitch his tent in Hyde Park, we are very much afraid that Hyde Park will either never hear of the threat, or that it will be more amused than terrified. One Napoleon Bonaparte, who walked over all Europe with as little difficulty as Sherman did over Georgia, and who met, fought and conquered, at every step of his way, armies of hundreds of thousands of veterans, splendidly equipped, and led by the best military genius of their native lands, once made a threat somewhat similar to that of Sherman.
