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" to harass his rear, that he is going to pitch his tent in Hyde Park? We are no great admirers of English policy, but English power is another and different matter. We may not admire the rapacity and sanguinary appetites of the King of Beasts, but, for all that, should not be anxious to provoke him to a trial of muscle.

Says our Charleston 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 disp 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. 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 see

Great Britain, which is only two hundred leagues long, and the soil of which is far from rivalling in richness the plains of Lombardy or Aragon, yields annually to the labor of the husbandman a revenue of about £140,000,000 sterling; an income, great as it is, which is almost doubled by the value of similar productions in its dependencies and colonies.

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. Bhe 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.
