We would again urge, therefore, our proposi- tion to the favorable attention of President Lin- coln ofa proclamation appealing to the patriot- ism of the people for an immediate levy, appor- tioned among the loyal States, of three hundred thousand sie months volunteers and militia. The whole force might thus be raised, armed and equipped, and moved forward to the fleld, with- in less than two months. They would relieve perhaps two hundred thousand veteran soldiers from garrison and railway duties for active service in our advancing armies; and there can be no doubt that, thus strengthened, they would utterly crush out the last fragments of the armies of the rebellion ina brief cam- paign Eastand West. We earnestly invoke the attention of Presi- dent Lincoln to this proposition. New York and Pennaytvania alone, from volunteers and their State militia, could readily furnish fifty thousand six months men for garrison duty | around Washington, and Kentucky and Ten- nessee would doubtless promptly raise thirty or forty thousand six months volunteers to as. sist the army of Rosecrans in driving the armed forces of the rebellion from their borders. werd. This Country. Atthe period wir into existence, the United States were atiract- ing the notice of all Burope, there were two | great empires then dividing tho majority of | ner,” power in the Old World, France and Russia were then most powerful, and bad naught to fear save from England, who ruled the sea. Unaided she was incapable of making any se- rious attack upon the great Powers just named; but she bad their commerce at her mercy. She waa the only maritime Power, and much capi- tal did she make out of the fact. Alexander of Russia and Napoleon the Great both understood that this domination of the sea which England held so exclusively was fatal to their best interests, and both were alike overjoyed when the American people gave indications of a de- termination to contest with Englund a suprema- cy which up to that time she had yevelled in. The Czar of Russia asserted openly that in the rising republic he saw the Power whieh was to counterbalance and check the arrogance of Great Britain, and he expressed a desire that from his government the United States might ever meet with good will and encouragement. Napoleon the First went still further to prove his desire that this republic might all the more speedily assume the position she was evidently to attain. He sold forse pittance to this gov- ernment the lands which France possessed in the Mississippi valley, so that we might, as he distinctly asserted, become all the more powerful and the more, quickly rival the influence of his hated enemy—England. For years Russia and France have pursued the same policy, and we have always considered both our friends and allies’ until the advent of Napoleon the Third changed’ the course of French policy and left us with but Russia true to the old feeling of friendstip, The present Czar entertains the same sentiment towards us that his uncle did. He has given emple proof of this; and that at this moment a powerful fleet of his men-of-war should be at anchor in our harbor is but an additional instance of his good will. The Emperor Alexander ef Russia has not and will not depart from the policy ofhis predecessors, because he is aware that we alone can, as a maritime Power, curb the arrogance and insolence of Great Britain, and because he must know that we can- not for a century or two in our on- ward march come athwart the progress of the great Russian empire. We have no call save upon this continent, which we must Tule. Russia may, if she can, rule the Old World, and we heartily sympathize with every stride she makes towards the attainment of power, progress and civilization. We are tho friends and well wishers of the Russian gov- ernment, as will be proved by the reception our citizens will tender to the officers of the squadron now in our waters. There will bea heartiness and good will in the greeting which shall impress its sincerity upon its recipients, and Europe shall see that the great American republic and the great Russian empire are truly friends. France we were wont to associate in all ideas of gratitude for the attainment of great power and influence. We felt that to her co-operation we owed the very existence of our government; and on those occasions when there were national meet- ings a toast to France, words of praise and of grateful recollection, were ever uttered and cheerfully responded to. Qur hour of trouble came, and we found that France, now under the guidance of an unscrupulous sove- reign, was ready to take advantage of our misfortunes, and that, departing from her time- honored policy, she was now the enemy of that nation whose independence she had helped to conquer. This was a bitter discovery, and it was long ere the fact could force itself into the minds of our people; but at last acts were committed which precluded all possibility of mistake, and France stood forth in avowed enmity to the United States. This was @ ead blunder on the part of the Emperor of the French; and we repeat what we have so often asserted of late: it will cost him his throne and entail the ruin of his dynasty. Such a want of good faith—such a failure in comprehending what was the best policy to pursue—must and will entail defeat and dia- grace upon Napoleon, and that at a period much nearer at hand than he may suppose, un- less he change his political programme. There is one point in the arrival of this Rus- sian fleet bere which must not be overlooked. During the Crimean war Russia bad all her ves- sels blocked up in her different seaports. Should she now go to war with those Powers which have made so much bluster about Poland, she will have her fleet free, and will be enabled to prey upon the commerce of her enemies. We have been taught lately what is the most ad- vantageous course to pursue as regards bellige- rents, and, having obtained our cue, with plenty of modern British and French precedents, shall act accordingly, much to the benefit of Russia. That France will see more points in this Rus- sian naval visit to our harbor we do not doubt. Napoleon will see in it an acknowledgment of the willingness of Alexander to enter into an alliance with the North; and here France will find still further cause for reflection. This naval visit will cause a sensation in Europe, and we are much deceived if, when the news reaches London and Paris that a Russian fleet is at New York, there will not be less talk about recognizing the South and more about the power of the North and the feasibility and good sense of entire eubmission on the part of the former. France and England will stop short in their evidences of ill will when they see Russia making overt show of her friendship. Tnx Scancrry or SkaMey ror tHe Navy.—It is sald that seamen for our naval service are bard to be obtained, and that several large ships are kept from being placed in commission by reason of the scarcity; yet no one seems to understand why it is so now more than for- morly. When Congress saw fit to pass a law stopping the allowance of grog on board of our vessels- of-war, and giving Jack in lieu thereof the sum of five cents per day, it took the most effectual method in the world, strange as it may ap- pear, to stop the re-enlistment of seamen for the navy. There are hundreds of seamen who know no other existence than on board our men-of-war, They entered the service as boys, have grown old in it, and the chances are would have died in it, either on board ship or inthe United States Naval Asylum; but the habit of their lives was broken in upon, and the charm destroyed | that held them as honest servants of their coun- | try.

Coalitions, with an overwhelming majority behind them, are apt to be careless of the class of candidates they select. placed in nomination is sure of success; and thus that healthy competition, which of neces- sity puts forward its best and strongest repre- sentative men as candidates, is done away with. Last year we hud a coalition of our city demo- cracy, and the result was the election of tho coulition ticket by a majority of over thirty thousand—the Tammany men taking the nomi- nations for Comptroller, members of Congress and nine Assemblymen, while the Mozarters carried off the Surrogate, } Corporation Counsel, two Congressmen and eight representatives inthe Assembly.

Herogs.—In honorable mention, in laudation, and in the whole matter of praise to men who have served the country well, the newspupers generally are not a complete incarnation of “even handed justice.” Doubtless in some cases they are partial; but in other cases they get the appearance of a partiality of which they are perfectly innocent. Certain of our heroes possess clearer ideas of the origin and tenure of popular favor than others do, and make the most of their knowledge. They have served political apprenticeships, and know how to keep themselves before the people by the newspapers principally, but otherwise also While they are mentioned every day, the less shrewd and more modest, are hardly named. And the last are often the best men. Battles have been fought in these two years past, and the names of the men who fought them never been publicly beard in.connection with those battles; and, on the other hand, there are men, even in our choice Army of the Potomac, who have gone to high positions without any achievements of their own, and with even the charge of cowardice against them. Indiscrimi- nate, fulsome and continual newspaper praise has done it all. These are the extremes in either direction, and aside from these there are men who have done very well, who have earned honorable names in a noble way, and of whom the papers talk with a persistency that is, tosny the least, unjust to the many other brave men who have done equally well. How much and how continually, for instance, have the people heard of General Sickles through the papers. No doubt he deserves all the praise that bas been given to him; but one might al- most suppose there was no other gallant man in our armics. Admiral Farragut is an instance of those ef whom we say too little. He bas accomplished feate as great as any that a naval hero was ever honored for. Yet the praise bestowed upon him has been comparatively little. He had a large and glo- rious share in the capture of Port Hudson, and even General Banks failed to acknowledge it in hia despatches. General Grant, in bis despatches from Vicksburg, with a nobler generosity, gave ample praise to the part done by Porter, and Porter in turn did full honor to Grant. Had the country judged of Farragut’s emistance by Banks’ despatches, bis praise and regulations for the better government of the-battle fleld, in the midst of danger, have furnished us with accounts of the different battles which surpass all previous efforts of the kind either in this country or abroad.

The incidents are viv- idly described, each event being related in such ® manner as to bring the scene before the vision of the reader, The great battle of Waterloo, which occurred no many years since, and which has been desoribed by such great writers, was never more brilliantly pictured, even by that master mind, Victor Hugo, than the battle of Chattanooga by our correspondent. Hugo's description of Waterloo is a grand, carefully finished oil painting. Ofr correspondent’s description is life like photograph of the battle of Chattanooga, still more true to nature, still more reliable.
