The National (Juanl.
i
feeling that with the small army .
of the United State theie should '.
TtiTM.T- ;c Cott;. ; . tirirr'ize to its full extent the criminal!
be a much better organired ma-,of
litia or national guard in .the
different states than is at present
'existing. General Benet, of the
ordnance corps, proposes the plan
of having a large militia force as
sembled for a proper, length of
time in each year, at convenient
points in the various state. These
camps to have instructors detailed
from among the oflicers of the
regular army, and the forces thus
concentrated to be drilled and dis
ciplined as far as practicable from
the school of the soldier, to brig
ade movements. That the United
States should furnish the amnni
tion and camping supplies and pa
the oflicers and men during the
time employed, in the same man
ner as those of the regular army,
lie set forth at porno length the ad
vantages that would thus be de
rived to tlie general government.
In any sudden omergenc' there
would not be months of delay
necessary for preparation, as was
the case at the outbreak of the le
bellion. "With a foreign enemy
this would be hazardous in the ex
treme. "With a property trained
and organized militia, serviceable
regiments could be speedily
thrown forward to exposed or
threatened points of attack. A
system could be adopted like that
of Germany. .The militia could
be mobilized at shoit notice
and brought .into the field. Of
course it could not expected that
they would be perfect, up to
the highest standard of military
"requirement, but they would at
least, be faiily giounded in the
essentials of military training and
a short time in active service,
would develop them into an ex
ceedingty useful and reliable force.
Something of this sort should be
done. Though the people of the
United States are very desirous of
avoiding war and are not willing
to believe that, within any short
approaching period, a contingencv
may arise that may force us into
hostilities with any of the foreign
powers, yet in the rapidly ehang
ing events that are constantly tak
ing place, it is dimVult to deter
mine what may happen. It is
most assuredly a wise policy to
guard against all contingencies,
even thoe which appear mo-l un
likely. Tin: death of the well-known
French general, Ducrot, recalls
the surrender at Sedan, the cap
ture of the French emperor, which
was followed shortly after b the
upsetting of the imperial dynasty.
After the wounding of Marshal
MacMahon, in one of the first
fights at Sedan, he was Miecooded
in command by Ducrot, who or
dered made all arrangements for
withdrawing the army toward the
French capital, there to make the
stand. This was J nitrated by
General "Wimpfier, who, be'ng In
senior in rank, had arrived and
taken command before the move
ment had commenced. Xot ap
preciating the desperate situation
of affairs, he countermanded the
order for retreat and remained un
til it. was impossible to extricate
the French from the enclosing
coils of the German army. it was
surrender or destruction, and Napoleon-had
to bow to the inevita
ble. What the result would have
. . s.
been if Ducrot 's belter genoral-
ship had been followed, it is difficult
to conjecture.
Tin: treasury depnrtment esti
mates the levenue of the United
States, for the pi eent fiscal year,
at 4GO,00,000. It is -t range
that with surh an enormous leve
nue the congress of the Tinted
States could not find the means to
construct a proper navy for the
country. One of these days,
when by a sudden and unexpected
war, tc which vrc will be more
liable by Virtue of our defenseless I
situation, with the commerce of j

butc savc themselves from lo-
1st ruction, we may be able to real. :
"?- of conarress, in this mattor. '
Ir would ei-m as though the loou ;
disaster "JU-1 e the only
means bv which we can be taugh
practical common sense on the
subject of national defences.
A London despatch of the '21st,
says: Admiral newett tclegiaphs
from cuez at four this morning, as
follew: Vest ei day C'apt. Hast
ings, in command of the seamen
and marines of the gunboats Sea
gull and Mosquito, assisted by '200
highlanders under Major Kclscy,
proceeded to Shalicf, by way of
the maritime canal, and found 1500
of the enemy strongly intrenched
behind a station. The Knglish
force landed and defeated them,
taking -!." prisoners, a small cannon
and a quantity of ammunition and
stores. Our loss was two high
landers drowned and two seamen
wounded. The enemy's loss was
about one hundred killed and
wounded. The bank of the fresh
water canal at Shalicf was cut by
the enemy, but it has been lepaiied
now. A brigade reconnoitered in
force at the same time and in the
same direction. The tratisport,
Mori ton Hall, with the seventh
Bengal infantry, has arrived at
Suez. The French troop ship
Shamrock entered the canal this
ninniing.
"U. order of the secretary of
the navy"" a special Hag has been
adopted in honor of the president.
This reads like the account of some
princely performance. Tis prob
lematical where the secretary got
such authority. The stars and
stripes were good enough for all
the twenty presidents who have
gone before, and what jccsa1
merit His Aeeldency possesses, is
hard to see.
