Herald Special Report from London. England Still Anxious for a Settlement of the Alabama Claims Bil. Her Fears, Hopes and Impulses as a Nation. The State of the Army. We print to-day a letter from Washington, Aescribing in much detail the history, organi- zation and defects of our military establish- ment and the various schemes of politicians of small capacity to lift themselves to place and popularity by attacking and breaking down a ‘system which, while it has not much to com- mend it to salvation, is infinitely better than none at all, The yearly allotment of thirty millions from a falling revenue to the support of the army is one, but not the only nor the ‘main, consideration that makes the present discussion of the subject both timely and in- teresting. While our military dependence in ‘time of war or danger will always be, as long a8 republican government lasts, on the throng- ing. volunteers from the ranks of our citizens, ‘it is important to the last degree that the country should always have in possession a ‘body of officers skilled and experienced in organizing, directing and, supporting large masses without such waste of time, men and material as marked the beginning of the last war. The citizen soldiery may not again, -perhaps, find themselves in front of an enemy as undisciplined and unused to war as them- selves, and the opportunity of training them- -selves into veterans by long series of marches, encampments and indecisive battles may never again be mutually sought and gained, In our own rebellion the real business of war did not begin for at least eighteen months after the beginning; but in Europe not as many days are suffered to elapse before the combatants are locked in a death-grapple. We need a standing army large enough, in the total number of its commissioned officers, to furnish an effective staff for a military force of from five to seven hundred thousand men, organized and operating in those large columns incident to war and under the economical conditions resulting from the steady progress of military science. This number of officers we appear to possess now; but such are the defects of our organization that only a small proportion would, in a time of emergency, be any better fitted by expe- rience for the duties of the staff than the same number of civilians who had never worn a martial uniform; and this, too, when it is a matter of common knowledge in the service that good administrative men in the staff are, in stirring times, as difficult to discover and get into the right places at the right time as generals fitted to wield a separate command.

TELEERAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD The following special report to the Heratp- has been received from our correspondent in the capital of Great Britain :— Lonpon, Feb. 11, 1872. The. English government is earnestly anxious to avoid a misunderstanding with the American President and Cabinet at Washing- ton on the subject of the Alabama claims set- tlement and the negotiations relative thereto in the Geneva Court of Arbitration. BRITISH CABINET FEARS AND ENGLISH NATIONAL HOPE, Her Majesty's Ministers do not like to lose the Treaty of Washington, and they are de- We find in our land, as in our naval forces, etimed) |) DOF) so gape ta.)

Amer @ settled hostility between staff and line, | cans @ point which the public mind Against the better traditions of our own ser- | of | England regards as involving vice and the examples offered abroad the | the national honor, by the possibility brain and heart of the military system have been torn asunder by bad and selfish legisla- tion, and both are as dead to usefulness as the minimum of vitality left in either can allow. The line officer enviously abuses his brother of the staff till ‘‘influence” carries him into the exclusive company himself, and he then turns contemptuously upon those from whom he has just parted. Loaded down with orna- mental and meaningless titles he becomes a languid functionary in a Washington bureau or upon some general’s official staff, and cuts loose, in all but rank and pay and social dis- tinction, from bis profession. The remedy for the discouraging state of our army is explained by our Washington correspondent, and to his letter we invite the attention of all who believe that a necessary evil should be brought up to its highest devel- opment of the good within it. which a compromise of the matter in dispute contemplates. Itis hoped by the advisers of the Crown that presently, when the excite- ment which now prevails becomes less, the spirit of mutual conciliation will reconcile points of international misunderstanding which, in the heat of the present violent dis- cussion, appear irreconcilable, COMPENSATION FOR INDIRECT LOSSES—OAN IT BE COMPOUNDED? The point of last resistance in the English position is the phrase ‘indirect losses” in the American bill of damages. The English are not exactly tenacious as to the phrase, and they might not object to continue the arbitra- tion with the phrase retained in the treaty if they were, or.are, guaranteed that the money award under that head would not in any case exceed a certain figure of amount. They would thus yield their first principle of a general objection to the demand for com- pensation for indirect losses, and meet the views of the American people and the re- quirement of the American interpretation of the Treaty of Washington. WHAT BRITAIN WANTS TO OBTAIN. But in exchange for this the English wish to get the certainty of knowing the limit of the American bill, and thus deprive the existing classification of American claims of the alarming character which its indefinite nature as to g total now presents to practical minds. HOW A RECONOILIATION MAY BE‘ EFFEOTED. Should this idea be adopted, and matured to the stage and status of a clause for negotia- tion, it may result in an urrangement which will.continue the proceedings of three arbitra- tions, which are now proceeding satisfacto-. rily, in Berlin, in Washington, and in Can- ada—on the San Juan Boundary question, the Mixed Claims, aud the North American Fisheries dispute—as if there were no exist- ing differences between England and the United States; and also continue the/Geneva Arbitration, with an understanding ‘as to the amount which will satisfy both sides, under the head of indirect logses, in the Alabama claims bill, \ This understandirgg might be reduced to writing, and put infform as an additional rule of instruction to /the Geneva Tribunal, or as a supplementary secret article to the treaty, MR, SCHENOK/ PRESENTS AN AMERICAN NOTE, Minister ‘Schenck has communicated an American /faote to the English government on the subject of the words just used by Premier Gladssone, which were deemed to convey an impatation on the good faith of the United States, The note is regarded as expressing a ‘proper assertion of the dignity of the Wash- ington government, and will, ‘most likely, be answered by the British Roreign Secretary in the most friendly spirit, 4nd in language dep- Rapid Transit in the City. According to the statement made at a meet- ing of the Committee of Ninety of the Citizens’ Reform Association, on Saturday evening, there is a prospect of the Legislature doing something for rapid transit in New York. The sub-committee that went to Albany re- ported that their mission has been satisfactory. ‘The joint committee of the two houses of the Legislature admitted the urgent necessity of some mode of more rapid travelling in New York, and was cordial in its offer to promote the views of the gentlemen representing our citizens. It appears, too, that a bill was spoken of to incorporate a Board of Commis- sioners of City Railways, with power to lay out, construct, maintain and operate city rail- ways for rapid transit by steam or other means. So far this is very well, but there is too much palaver and clashing of views and interests among those reformers, unwieldy commitiees and sub-committees, There appears to be too much of an effort on the part of some to make a job. An array of names of wealthy and prominent men is not sufficient. We have seen this in the exploded scheme tor a viaduct railway. We want first o practicable plan, determined so by competent engineers, and clearly so as a financial success. Then, as has been said, twenty millions of dollars could be raised in Europe for the project in thirty days. It would be better still, with such an undoubted exhibit of the success of the undertaking, to give an opportunity to our citizens generally to become directly inter- ested, Let the stock of the company be dif- fused in convenient amounts among the citi- zens of New York, and the conditions of the charter be such that there can be no oppres- sive monopoly and no cheating of either the stockholders or the public, Hundreds of thousands of the business people and indus- trious ciasses are driven out of New York to find convenient and cheap residences across the North and East rivers because there is dot rapid transit from one end of the island to the other. The city is losing its popula- tion and advantages more ‘and more every year from the want of such ‘rapid locomotion. Let us have the much needed improvement at once, and on the bror,dest and most liberal basis, with a view to the future greatness and population of he city, as well as for present convenienge, , recating a diplomatic: application of words spoken in the heat of Parliamentary debate. PRINCE BISMARCK PROPOSES FRIENDLY MEDI- ATION. The German Premier, Prince Bismarck, has offered to the Cabinets,.in Washington and in London, his “‘good offices: for the effecting of an agreement on the matter of the Alabama claims in the Geneva Arbitration Court.” GRANT'S REPLY ;TO. GRANVILLE—WHAT THE PRESIDENT MAY TELL THE PEER. The London Observer says no answer has yet been received from Washington to Earl Granville’s communication concerning the Alabama claims. It is expected. that the reply will not ex- press any positive opinion on the question of indirect damages, but will urge that the point be referred to the Geneva Board of Arbitra- tion.

Wasuineton, Feb. 11, 1872. The President in conversation yesterday expressed. himself as very much gratified at the temperate tone of the press of the United States on the excited comments of the Eng- lish Ministry on. our ‘‘case” before the Geneva Conference. The duty of this country, he said, was quite plain. Ifthe English govern- ment withdraws, the United States cannot agree with honor to any new negotiations. THE WAR POSSIBILITIES, What further action may then be necessary | will be influenced in great measure by cir- cumstances. In reply to a question as to his opinion of the prospect of a war the President said that be hardly thought it would come to that, but if war were a daty it would not be evaded. t AMERIOA’S DUTY TO HERSELF. He does not desire to see the amicable rela- -tions inaugurated by the treaty disturbed, but, at. the same time, America, in houor to herself, cannot be used as an instrument in the hands of any foreign Ministry to shield itself against embarrassments arising from local political divisions.

Satt LAKE City, Feb. 11, 1872. The Union Pacific Railroad managers are making great exertions to add to the comfort of the snow- bound passengers in the Rocky Mountains, who ‘will doubtess consume the supplies laid tn at Raw- lns before they can reach Ogden. By telegraphic orders Walker Bros. and Cunnington & Co, shipped to-day, with hard work, FOUR CAR LOADS OF PROVISIONS, consisting of beef, crackers, coffee, sugar, tea, candles, canned meats, salmon and other edivies for the passengers and the large force of men en- gaged in clearmg the road. Over two thousand men are at work in the snowy region, but, with all their labor, make but little haadway, as the storms rage with unparalled severity,and the winds blow great gusts, with but rare. intermission. ‘Western bound trains have made but FOURTEEN MILES IN TWO DAYS and more, and the road aliead ts.tremendously blocked. It 18 doubtful whether the trains can reach Ogden before Wednesday, ifthen. ‘he storm yesterday was extremely severe.
