There is scarcely a iical or social question before tho country {tat 1t doea mot touch. Nay, there is scarcely a cuestion likely to arise on which it does not af- fc-d soms information and throw some light. Wewill a2d that on almost all, if not-on all, the poicts upon which it disconrses it is eminently smed aod practical. Thereis no narrowness, no Ligetrs, in the book,—no narrow partisanship; 123 we do rot see why it should not be intro- dwed as a text-book into schools and widemies. Its study wounld certainly be of muca greater use to students in after-life than somo stndies that are more popular and univer- gl Ina Republican country, in which every voter is eitber direcily or indirectly a legisla~ 1, s kuowledgo of the most elementary prin- diples of constittional law, of political science, w4 polilical economry, is mecessary Lo enable ko to dischargs bis duties st the polls intelti- gently.

A, Nordhoff has given, in % familiar and di- rect si¥le, all of political economy, constitutional law, political science, and sound practical advics, ihet the voter will need to guide him in the ex- exioe of the right of suffrage, Ho has, in the J Ittla volume before us, treated the important subjects of Socioty, Government, the Functions of Government, Docontralization, Party, Polit- iral Constitutions, Education, Tesation, Money, Labor and Caital, Usury Laws, Banking, ‘ More Greenbacke.” Corporatioos, Mubicipal Govern- mezt, Prohibitory Laws, Trades-Unions, Strikes, s, ste. ¥r. Nordhof's definition of Liberty agroes withthat of Mill. It is expressed very differ- ently from the manner in which Mill expresses it botin s way woll suited to ths capacity of boyn and gthers for whom the book is intended. “You enjoy liberty,” says one zuthor, *when yonmey sayand do whatever pleases you and does not injure other persons.” This definition bas, & little differently worded, been very se- « veroly eriticised by opponents cf Mr. Mill; but, whicther or not it is the best conceivable defini- tion of Liberty, it is, we believe, the one most in barmony with the conception of freedom en- terained by & msjority of minds in this country. It may be doubtfal whether young people will alvags folly appreciste the wisdom of the prin- ciples laid down by Mr. Nerdbof. How many ors of 16 years of age are thers who can ses the 1l sense of the foilowing, from the chapter on “Liberty and the I'rovincs of Low™: * Laws sbonld be few in number and simple in stroc- tare; they shonld rigidly avoid granting special mvileges or immunities toindiviéuals, butshould be general mn their application ; and they ought never to intarfere vith the liberty of men to Iove sbout peaceably from place to place; to dieusa freely public affeirs and questions ; to tagegein whatever horest occupation plesses them ; o produce whatever seems to them most suiabls; and to exchanges what they have produc- + dwhero they pleaso and for what they most de- " Hereisa whole cargo of political sound Sease and information.

Probibitory liquor lawa are unwise, as Mfr. Nordhoff says, becausa they are aimed, not against the abusa, but the use, of an articlo. And w2 agzee with him fally, *That, in the vain attempt to prolubit the use of intoxicating liquors, the temperanco pecplo have neglectsd many practical measures for lossoning tho is- use, which is all they have any busiuees with.” As 2 eecond illustration, wo will take Ar. Nordbioff's chupter on ¢ More Greonbacks.” There is here, 109, a great deal more of financial wisdom than is to be found among the acquisi- tions of many boys threo times1G years old. Ar. Nordhoff tells his readers that, if a bauker claimed be might issue £10,000 in bills, “ on the plea that he had no money or pronerty at il with which to redeem them, he would bo rigiffiy thought a fool ; and, if he persisted in such an abaurdity, be would bo sent by his friends to a lunatic asylam. It he should demand, besides, that these bills which he desires to issue shonld be declared s legal-tender, no doubt ho would be put into & strait-jacket or sentto tho in- curable ward, and the lowest attendant in the 2aylum would laugh at him us an sbsutd creature ; for it woula require very little biains to seo his blander. But this ia precisely what the Government does in issuing greenbacks. 1t issaes promises to pay on the ploa that it has no money ; and it makes them a legal-terder be- cause they are not good.” Another subject which every one ought to nn- derstand is the effect of msury laws. This Mr. Nordhoff very hzppily illustrates. It is no more reasonsble to prescribe the rate at which loans shall be made, than to fix the rate at which houscs shall be rentéd. The rate, in both in- stances, must ba.regulated by the ratio of the domand to the supply. Usury laws are intended for the benofit of the poor; but, ultimately, it is, a8 MMr. Nordhoff says, the poor man who is injured by them; just as ultimately 1t is tho poor man who is benefited by the power to bor- row of which usary laws deprive him, in sending money where there are no usury laws at all, or wheare money can be loaned at a higher rate. Among tho duties of American .citizens, onr suthor impresses on his boy that it is his duty 1o act generally with some political party; but, when tho party nominates = bud man, he tells him to vote against him. This is sound ad- vice, and might bo adopted without injury by thoso who babitually try to play the part of In- dependents,—an impossible role. ‘There are some fow points in which we do not feel disposed to agres with Ar. Nordhoff. Wo disagree with him, for iostavce, when he says that Governments are & necessary evil, and that their necessity arises out of the selfishness and stupidity of mankind. Now, wo do not think that Governmenta are 8 nocessary evil. ' Were thero neither selfishness nor stupidity zmongst mon, Governments would be still very neces- sary,—necessary to accomplish, for the good of all, what Do individual could do for himself. The view of Mr. Mumford, that neither the Nation mnor Government is an evil, because evil, in its necessary character, i§ not formative : because it creates nothing snd produces nothing, but only con- sumes and destroys ; becauss it bas in itsell no’ elements of order, and can Ybring forth none,— is better than Mr. Nordhoff's. It ecems to us, also, that our writer is too hasty in condemuing State-ownership of railroads, and in recommend- ing that every chuld bo compelled to attond, not a school, but the public or free school of his district, from 10 to 14 years of age. However advisable compulsory education may be, itis scarcely to bo counseled that parents sball be compelled to send their cbildren to any particu- larschiool. Bolong s a child receives & good education, it matters littls wheroit obtains it. Even in Germaoy, parents are allowed to edu- cate their children where they will. It is searcoly consonant with our political views asa people, or with our idess of berty, to interfere, to the extent recommended by Mr. Nordhoff, with parental choice of an edseational catablishment, whatover might be the incidental advantages of having all the children of a dis- trict educated in the same echool, from the age of 10 to the age of 14 ‘We have not spaco to pass in raview the mrny points treated by Mr. Nordhoff,—the evils of ill- defined responsibility of officials; the absurdity and danger of attempts 2t non-partisan govern- ment, so-called; the wisdom of allowing even thoze who have no property to vote; the ques- tion of theappointment by their chief of officers subordinate to tho Execative, or of their election ; the nature and use of monay ; banks, banking, 2od credit ; corporations, ete.,—on all which points he conveys solid instruction in & plain, simple, and direct way. Mr. Nordhof's book is mot written for statesmen, nor for advanced stu- dents. Itis written for the people, old 28 we. 28 young, but especially for the latter: Every youog man preparing to vote should have it. It gathers together 3 mass of information and of principles which can bo obtained elsewhers only by wading through many large and zbstruse treatises. Herein lies its chief axcellence and very great utility. MYSTERIOUS RIOUNTAIN-NOISES. To the Editor of The Chicago Tridune: CoroN, Mich., Dec. 23—The article pub- lished in Tee TRIBUNE of tho 25th inst., entitled * Rescue the North Pacific,” was perused by me with great interest. Having msade several trips along the course of the Missouri River, and camped on the spot where the Northern Pacific Railroad hae its present terminus, I am pro- pared, from personal knowledge of the country through which that road runs, to coincide heart- ily in the opinions expressod &8s to the total worthleasness of that region for agricultural and grazing purposes. That part of the articls quoted from the Bt. Paul Pioneer, referrng to s etrotch of country “heavy with minerals,” rocalled to my mind a phenomenon noted on one of my trips, which has since been a subjeot of mnch speculption to mo, and which I & induced to make known thronghyour paper, in the hops that a ressons- ‘ble oxpianaticn of it may be given. ‘The tripsreferredto wersmsdein the year 1870. 1 was attached to a party bound for Fort Steven- son.

Aftor retiring, wo were frequently aroused by noises resembling & distanc roll of thuoder. This was the mght of the 1st of November, and, although the weather gesmed too cold for a thunderstorm, and the sky was perfectly clear, we could not ba convincad, until we hiad mado repeatod observations, that astorm wassot approaching. We finally decided thatthese mysterious noises were of the samo chzracter as those mentioned in tbe journats of travelers in the Black Hills and Rocky Mountains, and wers conteated to remain in ourtents, undisturbed by fears of & storm.

Mallgeo, whoso gallant fall in dofense of the American Wiochaster has been the thome of song ry, belonged to the * Shiclds,” and Capt. Aichae!

Thero were many other men of the same company who shono conspicuous in cavalry mat- ters daring our years of turmoil. 9 THE CHICAGO LIGHT ARTILLEDY, commanded by Ceptain, subsequently Colonel, Ezra Taylor, mado its thuodecs felt, in battle ttorms, along the Teunessce and the Camber- land, and from tho Ohio to the ses. Its record is unatsined, oxcopt by tho wmoke of conflict, sud tho brave old Colonel still survives, while maoy of his “boyas” are bimn‘cked forever in Southern cley. The vear 1850 saw a new native American military company spring into existence, under the name of _‘'THE NATIONAL GUARD CADETS” of Chicago. Thay followed the devious paths of all new arganizations notil ths April of 1359, when tha celebrated Elmer Ellaworth, then a comparatively unkuown youth, became their Captain, changing their title to ** United States Cadsts.” They evtablished theirarmory in the old Garrett Block, corner State and Randolph atreets, and proceedod to drill with an ardor mever ex- celled by any scldier-corps in tho worid. At this time France was encaged in the war which Napoleon boastfully said was to freo Italy *from tie Alps to tbs Adriatic,” but which stopped sbort at Villafrancs, where also halted Gallie glory for many a Jong year. But America and the world had” heard of those terrible zoaaves who, under Forey, broke like nnchained tigers throaga the village of Montebello, drove the Austrizn éwarms from FPalestrio, renewed the splendors of Montenolle and Lodi st 3agenta, and recalled Marango on the heighta of E£olferino.

Whaisver wzs possible to Frenclmin could suarely ba acoomplished by cut, Mi3 oumspany should ba mod elogs second to none in America, but also second to none in Europe. Accordingly, the old system of tactics was flung aside, and thenceforth “nothin; but *zonave™ was talked of in Chicago uunul the gzand game commenced. , _ THE DRILL ADOPTED 1Y ELLSWGETH and his men was tho severest known. to modern soldiers. It combined the elasticity of the acro- bat with the firmness of the wariior. The man- nal of arms was only child's play to them. Thoy carried brick to the weight of 43 pounds, increased ounce by ounce, in their knapsacks; could climb walls; run -up trees, spring upon_lamp-posts, run like deer, march ko Cesar's Legions, and never * turns hair.” For twenty-cight months_they drilled like this, never forgetting the practical, while attending to the ornamental, and becams as efliciont with the nile as thoy wero formidable with the bayonet. The Zouaves gave it THEIR FIRST EXIIBITION drill - in front of the Tremont Rouse, July4, 1859, when tlev received the alilwanlkee Cadets, and competed with them. Of course the Chica- g0 boya won, and their martial bearing crested intense excitemsnt and uoteigned admiration, They bought now uniforms—s pack and a fancy st each—and becamo regular ** lady-killers.” In tho fall of the same vear, 1859, the Fair of thie United States Agncultural Socioty was hold in this cily, and tho managors of ta¢ entorprise offered a stand of colors to the best drilled com- pany in the Union. _The Ellawortbs resolved to capture the flags, and redoubled their military ex- ertious. Several companies, from all paris of the country, compoted with them ou the fair-grounds, but all went down before the cat-like *Zon- zous,"” who seomed to make drill & mere amuse- ment. The President of the Fair, when tho trial waa over, presented Ellsworth's company with the colors, as the champion military orgaui- zation of America. But the smbitions and dusbing Captain wes not satisfied with this victory. There bad not been emough of com- petition. He wanted the crack companies of the East to try thew lands, and, with that ond in view, proposed and organized an excursion, or rather, A FLIENDLY INVASION, of the Eastern States, espocially of New York and Massachusetts. The project.was put into execution in the summer of 1840. The piizo wag to be the stand of colors won by the Zouaves in Chicago. Ellsworth was willing'to * tackle™ any company 1o the world, ana said eo. Tho *boys " went on their tour, stopping at all tho principal towns, where they wero treated with more than priacely hospitality ; but no company dured take up the gauntlet which they flung down, aftor witoessiug an exhilation drill.. Finally they reached NEW YORE, where the cou-tesies of the ciiv were extended to thew. A drill was anoounced to take place in City-Hail Square. HJf the military of Manbat- tan turced out, aod the crowd was so cnormous that tho polico were obliged to use their clubs freely to keep the people back. But that exbibition beat anything ever witnessed in tlus country. Tho eralll, Tribune, aud other papers csme ont with ‘whoie pages descriptive of the scene, and of the woudrous mititary performance. New Yors went almost crazy. Was 1t poseiblo that this company of Pork-mcknrs” could baat the **earled dar- Linga" of tho Seventn? No, it could not be; 8o a tnial must be mada, and the grouad chosen was West Point, whilo old Hardeo (subsequently a Rebel General), who was then commandant of the place, was" to act 28 nmpite. Bat the New Yoriers, although wounded in their local vaoitr, did not forgot their native courtesy, The Seventh chartered a steamor, and picked ali its best men, inclnding oficers and noa-commissioned ofticers, to form a company for competition with the dreadful Zouaves. An iuteresting fict connmested with the event i3 that Gen. Shaler--now Copsulting Engineer of our Fue Department—was oloctod Captsin of this picked compauy which was to uphold the ban- ner of New York in the fizht for the champion- ehip. No less than 35,000 New Yorkera proceed- ed to Wes: Point 1o witness the drilling match. AT THAT HISTORIC PLACE, beneath the eves of tiaousands, and in the pres- eucs of hundreds who wers to become famous onmany a stern field, the Chicago Zouaves again bore off the palm, and Gen. Hardao and his brother afficers declared that the compaay could not be equaled, much less axcelled, by any equal number of men picked from the Zonaves of the French Imperil Guard, or from the famous African eorps, which afterwards made food for Prossian powder at Woerth. This coled the tour, and, mith glory thick upon them,our Zuna7es bronght back their champion colors ¢ iAo, Iiiss noteworthy fact thst evory mae:nt s of Lhe com- psuy was stirictly temperate, oli: could never have endured the t upon their vital enorgies. Tho cozioany arrived here trom the East in Auguat, 1539, and after that Ellsworth went into the Isw-office of Abrabam Lincoln, whom he accompaniad on his dangerous_journey to Washington, in the spring 01861, Bia sublsequent career aud uatimely fate are too well known topecd any montion in this parrative.. When he raised bis regiment of New York Fire Zouaves he wau stiowed Lo ap- point & man from his old company as Second Lientenant in each company of the new argani- zation. THE OGTOREAK OF THE WAR called almost every tan of tho orimnal Zoaves into active service,—ganerally in the capacity of ofticers. _Col. Connor, who sftorward rafsed and commanded the Forty-fourth New York Volun- toers, known as the ** Elisworth Avengers,” was a rivate of the Chicsgo organizetion. “Ed” ifnot, now living hore, was also o member, and Dbecame Major of the Forty-fourth.

The same gallant doom *Joo ™ Scott, Colonelof the Nineteonth Iilinois, at Btone River. Tho men of the old company averaged 22 yoars of sge—the youngest body of trained Boldiers, unmatched in dnll and discipline, of which record bss been made. While the War was raging, the organization was Lept up under the name of + _*THE ELLSWORTH ZOUAVES," and continued to furnish excellent officors for the new regiments of Iilinois volanteers as fast as thoy were embodied. Maj. E. L. Braod, & very eflicient drill-master, commauded the com- pany most of the timo, and won groat credit as a strict disciplivarian. His men were scarcely in- ferior in quality to their renowned precureors. In 1866, 3aj. Brand, whose business nesded strict attention, resignod and was succooded by Maj. J. R. Hayden, who is now a resident of Colorado. He held the command for a year, when Capt, John H. Donlin waa electad, and kopt the men togother down to the period of the great fire, whon the Joss of arms, uniforms, and armory produced general demoralization. Sub- sebuontly, some of the mombors came togother snd chose for Captain Alr. J. Whitohead, bat, although that oficer made laudable efforis to preserve the organization intact, the old spurit appeared to have died ouf, zod although the Elisworths still dressed their thin raaks on occa- sion, the soldiers dropped off, one by one, unill nor, what remained of the historic baud has been mi’lxls(!d in the Firat Regiment of Illinois State tia, —p IN THE PRESENT, THE MULLIGAN ZOUAVES. For nome little time aftor the war thera were no military organizations in Chicago—with the exception of tho Ellswortk Zouaves—until the organization of another well-kmown military company, the ulligan Zouaves, in 1867. It was called after the brase soldier whose name it bears. Tho first Captain was John J. Healy, s veteran soldier, who kept his men togother until the famous October disaster ino- formally mustered them out. They camo together again under the leadership of Capt. Daniel W. Quirk, who was their hoad for a couple of years, after which Capt. Healy sgain took charge of them. *‘Tho Mulligans” wero excellontly crilled, and woro & very hand- some uniform,—features that stili characterize them. A$ their last annual mecting Capt. Healy retired, and Capt. J. H. Farroll—zn oguelly ac- complished soidier—was clected in his stead. The company is now in fine condition, and his ovar sizty names apon its roll. The Lisutenants are James Roiley and William Marsh. The mon are all Irish, or of that extraction, THE MANSIDAL ZOUAVES.
