Tewn Versus Cottatry Horses. {From the Richmond Whig } It would be a gratification to thattinconsid- erable and worthless portion of the commu- nity which is engeged in irritating the surface of the carth, if the Quartermaster General or whoever else is empowered to authorise the Pressing of teams, would state in writing the reasons which induces him to prefer country to town horses. To intimate that country horses and their masters do not appreciate the Quar- termaster’s preference, would be doing gross injustice to the breeding and intelligence of those amiable animals. But neither horses nor men like to be overwhelmed with compli- ments. No offence would be taken by either. were the Quartermaster to transfer a portion of his flattering attentions to their brother beasts in the city, Of course the feelings of the coun- trymen ought not to be consulted in the least, for we have yet to hear of a Governmemt that did not consider its first and highest duty to be the molestation and oppression of farmers ers. But no item an hes yet inently di: ced saying some i tion, if not tothe feel Aas the uses of the country horse. As between the town man and the country man, the personal incon- venience of being robbed of their horses is the same. Not eo with regard to the horses them- selves. In time of war the country horse plows the ind that grows the grain that makes the food that feeds the armies that fights the battles that win the freedom and sustain the Government that pays the Quartermasters. Bat Quartermasters are never selfish and al- ways gallant. The love of the beautiful is their absorbing passion. Rather than deprive the public of the felicity of seeing a ()uartor- master in a buggy, taking his evening airing— rather than disturb the lovely be haimes of a three-story trunk strapped beautifully behind a hack, they would see every army in the field starve to death, the Government of Jeff Davis driven into the Gulf of Mexico, and their own fair prospects for comfortable pay and no risk in battle forever blasted. Wise and magnani- mous Quartermasters! There are oleven artil- tery companies out at the New Fair Grounds, waiting for horses and unable to get them Every cowpany is imperiously and instantly needed in the field. There are in the cities of Richmond, Petersburg, Norfolk, Lynchburg and Fredericksburg, at least a thousand hacks and private carriages. Here, then, are two thousand trained horses—enough to equip twenty batteries. But it would never do to interfere with the shopping of fine ladies How sinful and injurious to the digestion of Quartermasters it would be to put a stop to their buggy riding. And 0! the crime, tho unpardonable crime of compelling ladies of ae to give up their cherished hacks W hat would become of the gamblers that watch the gay creatures as they drive by the big hotels? The country might be saved if the town horses were pressed, but the m:thetic joys of the courtezan, the Quartermaster and the gambler, would be gone. Who would havo the heart to ask such a sacrifice from such people ? Pe ee ee ee Why the Meniter Did Not Pursue the Mer- ri . Since the success of the Monitor in her cn- counter with the Merrimac, the 9th of March, many persons have expressed their astonish- ment that the “cheese-box”’ did not pursue the retreating Merrimac, and sink her before she reached Norfolk. We have no doubt that such 4 consummation would have caused intense re- joieing thyoughout the country. It was a very feasible theory, but unfortunately there was an insurmountable obstacle to its being put in practice. The Rebels have exercised the same patient care in the preparation of their defences at Norfolk that they manifested in watching the OFFICIAL, PARTNENT OF STATE, Wasninoton, January 25, 1562. . The of State will hereafter receive Members of Congress on business on Saturdays, commencing with Saturday, the firs: of next month. TELEGRAPHIO NEWS. Later from Europe. Hatrrax, April 18.—The steamship Caneda bas arrived, with Liverpool advices to the 6th inst. ‘The subject of jron-clad vessels and batteries is still an absorbing topic in England. Ta the House of Commons on the 4th inst., the question of the relative value of fortifications and floating batteries was devated, end resolutions were sdopted providing for the suspension of the works at Spithead. Parliament will shortly consider the expediency of empowering the government to use the money already voted for forts in the construction of fron- sheathed vess-is.

Keyes’ corps d'armee Temains very muéh the same as when I last wrote. Every hour develops something more of the enemy's line of defense, of his strength in forts, guns, rifle pits, and numbers, and of the great discretion and military science that must be brought to bear in the investment and approaches to the enemy’s works. They are of complete and massive strength, constructed according to the exactest rules of engineering, and with that knowledge of the topography of the country which belongs to familiwrity with it for years. When. edded to these advantages of the enemy, were it possible to describe the disadvantages we have to contend against, in the tortuousness of the line of battle we are ferced to assume in the innumerable ewamps and pools of water extending along our entire line, in the almost impenetrable forests and undergrowth of tangled wood, and in, for any other reason than ab-olute “military neces- sity,” impassable roads for light artillery and beavy transportation, you would have a slight conception of the herculean task imposed upon tbisarmy. Privates in campaigns before this have cuffered perhaps as much as our troops have in the last three days; but none ever, & so large an army, heard #0 little of grumbling and anathema against privation, cold, wet and hunger. .

They Sre not in the least appailed in view of the terrific struggle bofore them, and at this very tmoment—? o’elock p. m.—the air is vocal with pathetic and patriotic songs. The camp fires vf the enemy are in plain sight. Our soldiers steud around their own, and beside their Jozded muskets: the leit hands of many rest upon them, while with the right they wavo toward the traitors to their flag the sirair: the “Star-Spangled Banner,” the Red, White, and Blue,” and amid it all the loved and cherished are rot forgotten, for turning their faces toward tue patriot land from which they come they sing. «Do They Miss Me at Home,” “Let Me hiss Him for His Mother,”’ and breathe their silent prayers that the for- tunes of war may permit them to wingle with their friends in the enjoyment of peace. To many the prayer will be granted. For many the swift messergers of death have already ors their wives. They will pe: ina oly cause, and we beliove in victory. God grant them cternal victory! On the 6th instant a very successful and im- = Teconnoissance was made by Brig. Gen. V. S. Hancock mpenied by Lieut.

They constructed & trap at the mouth of the Elizabeth river, sv that in casa the Merrimac should be compelled to flee from an attacking force, the pursuing ships might be ensnared and compelled to sur- render. The channel of the Elizabeth river was staked out with spiles so that a clear channel of from 70 to 99 feet only was left by which Norfolk could be approached. Just beyond the mouth of the river the Germantown was moored with springs upon her cable and realy for instant movement. The ship was also pre- pared, by boring, so that she could be eunk in five minutes after the valve ropes were drawn. The plan was, in case the Merrimac was pur- sued, to let her and her pursuers pass in, and then swing the Germantown across the chan- uel and sink her, thus placing an impassable barrier to the escape of the pursuing vessels.
