In the West they ‘hold that we ought not to think of these things; that we ought to issue as many prom. ises as we can get people to take without re- ygard to our pledges to redeem them, and make ‘these promises worthless by their very quan- ‘tity. It is our duty to recognize this and point lit out, not that we would provoke or cultivate sectional animosities. If any one is to be charged with that it is the West itself, which forces upon the East, by its majority in Congress, laws that are not only unpalatable, but which must inevitably provoke revolt—a revolt the occurrence of which, in view of the ‘legislation made and projected, is not a con- tingent possibility, but merely a question of time. No people can ever consent to be vabsorbed absolutely by a neighboring people ‘whose economical conditions require a totally different life and different laws ; and least of | all will the people of the thirteen States who wained their freedom from England in their infancy consent to become a mere fringe on the garment of a semi-barbarous empire occu- spying the Mississippi Valley. Yet that is what the Atlantic States must become if the legisla- tion now begun in Congress is followed to its ‘legitimate consequences, In the vote on Tt Four Hundred Million bill there is a sound of the tramp of armed men; and there are all the noises of war together in the legislation which Ahe West still proposes to force on the nation. * The possibility of a new issue of inconvertidle paper I regard with amazement and anxiely, and, in my judgment, such an issue would be a detri- anent and a shame.—Cuantes Sumner. The Danger of the Hour—Inflation Means Civil War. After the inauguration of President Lincoln, in 1861, and while the newspapers and tho politi- cians were still preaching and predicting peace, the Heraxrp printed an article which proved prophetic, In calm and dispassionate language we showed that the march of events was in the direction of war, and proclaimed that soon the tread of armed men would be heard in our streets. How soon that prediction was verified is now a matter of history. And as history often repeats itself we may predict civil war to-day as confidently as we predicted it in 1861, unless, indeed, the struggle is averted by the withdrawal of its exciting cause. Mr. Calhoun well understood, in 1832, that a high tariff for the South meant war against the North, and if the South had not been too weak for battle then the civil strife would not have been deferred till 1861. Slavery meant war from the moment it was felt to be an antagonistic system of labor to that which prevailed in another part of the country; consequently Mr. Seward’s “drrepressible conflict’’ meant, if it meant any- thing, that sectional antagonism in matters of labor or business was the first step toward civil war. It was not because slavery was immoral that we fought over it, but because while it continued either slave labor or free labor must become unprofitable. All this shows one important truth that is startling in its reality—namely, that inflation means war. Inflation means war—civil war pressed upon the Atlantic States by the West and South- west. We have heard a great deal lately from these sections about asserting their power in the legislation of the country. If the West has votes enough to rule Congress and the country we are satisfied to be ruled by the West. But the wildcat statesmen of that in- | cipient empire must remember that it is one thing to rule, but quite another thing to ruin. Inflation is ruin, dishonor, dis- grace. The West shall not rule us in this thing, making us beggars at home and _ disreputable abroad. We demand that the West shall not legislate to the discredit of the nation, issuing paper and calling it money, and issuing more paper and calling it more money, under the flippant pretence that the country needs circulation. Would pouring water into the heart send blood through the veins? Shall the West be allowed to consummate this crime against the outories of all the old States which made the West what it is? Shall every American who | dares to show his face in England or France or Germany, or in Spain or Italy, ever be dis- honored because a few Western demagogues have made it discreditable to be an American? Shall the commerce of our great seaports be stricken down and destroyed by a method that no country can practise with impunity? Other nations regard bullion as money—gold or silver—which has its intrinsic value, whether it be stamped in the name of the king or made into watches and rings and bijouterie; whereas we take the product of paper mills and make it into money by the aid of the printing presses in the Treasury Department. And we con- stantly remind ourselves of our dishonor by printing the portraits of some of our best financiers of the past on the wretched slips of paper which are the badges of our discredit. This thing cannot go on forever, making our disgrace and ruin deeper as it goes, and it is best to understand the issue before itis too late to avert it. Inflation means war just as slavery meant war all the time from 1840 till 1860. New England, the Middle States, Vir- ginia and the Carolinas do not mean that after laying the foundations of the Republic the West and Southwest shall ruin and discredit them and the Republic together. Heraty’s prediction of the tread of armed men in 1861 was not more certain than a repe- tition of that prediction now unless the newly fledged States, which think themselves wiser than the ‘original thirteen,’ learn wisdom from the danger of the hour.

The Highlanders and the Fusileers. Every regiment of the British line has an inter- esting history, and almost every one indicates by its uniform facings some peculiarity of that history. It would need a very long paragraphin which to tell of the badges distinctive of each regiment and of the causes of their adoption, and therefore no attempt at the recitation will be made, Our pres- ent concern is only with the two regiments that were received in London yesterday and were re- viewed by the Queen. No regiments of the British Army have greater renown in military circles than these two, and one of them has a better record, probably, than any other similar military or- gunization in the world. ‘The opportuni- ties of the Forty-second Royul Highlanders, the regiment meant, have been great, and their labors on the battle field exceptionally perfect, Always in the van, they have withstood the shocks Of tried adversaries hurled against them with all the jorce that skilful military commanders could concentrate upon them, and more than once have they merited the eulogy implied in the sentence speaking of their conduct at the battle of Alexan- aria, Egypt:—‘‘The Forty-second died almost to a man where it stood,” Never once has the Forty- second been known to “flunk” for a brief time even in battle, and thus its record is a narrative of deeds, the products of Scotch obstinate bravery tempered and periected by military discipline. ‘The record of the “Black Watch,’’ as the regunent is known to the people, dates irom the year 1715. Tne Earl of lar in that year egan Scottish revolt in favor of the Pre- tender, and the Earl of Argyle was di- rected to suppress the crazy rebellion by dis- persing the il-armed but brave and enthusiastic Jacobites, Among the troops organized by Argyle were six companies irom the Highland clans of Campbell, Grant and Muuro. When the revolt was repressed these companies of Highlanders were retained in the British service as police, serving to disarm the peasantry, and check— though their small force could not entirely pre- vent—the raids of Jacobite Highlanders upon the | Lowlanders, In this work these companies, al- ways recruited irom the whig clans in which they were first formed, continued until the year 1739. Their commanders were the chiefs of the clans, and their dresses were the distinctive tar- tans, &c., of the tribe to which each com- pany belonged. It happening that these tartans were ail of dark hue, the peasantry, putting to- gether that peculiarity and the iact of their empioyment as police, called them, with that kind ; of derision that springs irom hatred, the “Biack Watch.’? They were doubly disliked as whigs and as police. They deprived many of the peasantry of their arms, but they were kept aloof by the haughty Jacobite chieftains. Their numbers were too small to permit of couflicts with tnese mou- archs of the hills, surrounded by their fierce, semi- barbarous retainers. In the year 1722 Geueral George Wade was sent with a good force to assist the Black Watch to completely disarm the Scotch. ‘the chieftains were found by Wade quite ready to give up arms—such broken and decayed guns as were worthless to them, and receive their fill vaiue im money, if the “Black Watch” were not present at the surrender. Mackenzie, of Bratan Castle, the kinsman of the proscribed Karl of Seatorth, was especially bitter agalust the Reicudan Dhu, and would not even surrender his worthless arms— after he nad oiled aud laid away the periect guns for luture use in the Jacobite cause—in the pres- ence of the Campbells, Grants and Munros. {[n 1789, Great Britain becoming embroiled with spain aud needing more soldiers, rewarded the “Biack Watch” tor its many i. of police gervice by in- corporating it in the lve as the Forty-second regi- ment (Royal Highlanders), The new regiment retained with pride the appellation of the Black Watch; but its dress was changed into a combina. tion of the royal military livery and the Scotch costume of nature almost unadorned. The new regiment did hot become prominent until 1743, and | thea it again became notorious by a remarkable | breach of discipline. It was invited to London ostensibly tu be reviewed by Hts Gracious Majesty who had done tt the high donor of accepting 118 members as food for the powder of his foreign ad- versaries. They were reviewed by the King, but were not sent back to Scotland, as they had ex- pected tobe. Great Britain haa entered into the war of the Austrian succession and had need for all ner soldiers, It was rumored among the High- landers that they were to be sent as raw troops to the West Indies. They broke into muuny, and 160 of of their number, Jed by a Sergeant Macpherson, deserted and startea for Scotiand. ‘The deserters were speedily overtaken by cavairy, to whom, upon being surrounded, they surren- dered. They were brought back to L Sergeant Macpherson, his brother aud a private, hamed Shaw, Were tried and executed, Tne otner mutineers were sent to the American colonies and other places that were held among soldiers as un- pleasant posts. The Forty-second, being compen- sated with recraits jor the loss of the deserters, was sent to the Netherlands and Germany, where it began the foundation of its fame, At Fontenoy, in 1745, being uuabie to reach the French infantr: within its intrenchments, the Highlanders marched up to near the redoubts, their bagpipes playing the while, and, having fired a volley at the enemy, fell down to allow their revurn shots to pass over them. Colonel Munro, — their commander, was so fat thatif he had fallen a lever would have been necessary to raise him again, so he remained standing by his colors, the mark foran entire volley. Wonderlully enough, every bullet went wide of him. It would be too long a history for these columns, that of all tue deeds of the Forty-second. In every pattie it was made a spectal adversary by the enemy, and at the battle of Alexandria, in Egypt, in 1801, while it Was in oer at tae right of the line, the Frenct Invincibles charged upon it time and again, and though it was almost decimated, the regiment never yielded.

Their Services were never so apparent as those of the Hightancers, They were less obstinate in op- Position and not so dashing im attack; yet they were always steady and well disciplined, in Egypt they were with the Forty-second at Aboukir Bay, and participated in the dashing attack upon | the French in their intrenchments there. At Alex- andria they withstood the assaults oi the veteran French Invinetbies for hours. When the Egyptian | campaign was done the Fusileers were sent to Spain, where they took part in all wwe battles of the Peninsular war.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— It is stated in your report of my lecture at the Cooper Institute, last night, that the lecture of Wednesday next, on the “Transit of Venus,” is specially intended for young men. Permit me to explain fhat this is not the case. Last night, having to deal with the wonders of astronomy, 1 thought I might usefully en- deavor to obtain a few astronomical recruits. But my object next Wednesday wiil be to explain, | to all who care to attend, the hopes and anticipa- tions of astronomers respecting the most im- portant astronomical event of the present century. When it is remembered that the government of the United States has granted $150,000 for the purposes of the expeditions to view the transit, while Great Britain has granted also a goodiy sum (about $70,000), and that America, England and Russia provide for no less than forty-three observing sta- tions, it will be recognized that more is being done for the transit of 1874 than for all the important eclipses of 1863, 1869, 1870 and 1871 together, and thus the extent of the hopes entertained by astro- nomers respecting the great event of this year can be estimated. Wednesday's lecture will be my 95th tn this country (not the 92d), and the tour lectures in Association Hall will ve respectively the 96th, 98th, 100th and 102d, I may here remark that some | little coniusion as to the two courses (both of which were for a day or two advertised as my last in America) arose irom the extra-planetary nature of my Wanderings in the West, which prevented ready communication with me by the gentlemen who are kindly managing the two courses.

Mr. Robinson proceeded to state the mode of procedure adopted with regard to the poy rolls of the workmen, which is as follow. fhe foreman of each gang, on the Ist of each month, makes out lis pay roll, forwards it to the superin- tendent, who verifies it, and who, in turn, for- wards if on to the general ofice, where it is examined by the auditor and trausmitted by “him to the Board of Directors, who finally direct the payments to be made.

Asecret meeting of the strikers was held this evening at their headquarters, at which they re- solved to meet to-morrow at the company’s shop at nine o’clock A. M, and offer to go to work, and, unless the company will agree to re-employ all, they will refuse to allow any to go to work. This demand will be refused by the railroad authorities, Who have decided to reduce the lorce irom 1,000 to 600 men. As the company has ample force to sus- tain them the strikers will probably be obliged to ylela. The water supply has not been cut off, as pre- viously repocted. The town is filled with rumors, in which nitro-glycerine and fire are trequeatly mentioned, The large engine in the shop has been ice fore Wednesday. None of the missing parts of the engines have been restored, and fifty engines are lying here disabled, not including those in the shop waiting repairs. The pay been paying the strikers all day and will finish to- morrow. Division Superintendents Thomas and Gardner have returned to their departments. Vice-Presidents Clark and Wright are still here.

At first it came only as a rumor; but there were & few here to whom Van Nort imparted the secret | three weehs ago of his intention to resign, and the news, even if & Vague form, Was confirmation strong. From the remarks | have heard a score of republicans make on this subject, it wonid seem | as a the organization was going to pieces, One promineat repuvlican said:— “SERVED THEM RIGHT,’? meaning the niembers of his own party. did they not support him w to do the party a service ’”” This service, it seems, Was the passage of the Riverside Park bul, which: | ve republicaus in the Senate disputed in the shape 1t Stood, by which extensive patronage was intended to be coulerred on the Comuussioner of Public Works. Had THE PARTY WHIP any efMcacy this bill would have gone through the senate, It had not, and the matter has only oved an apple of bitter discord. Those wio were in favor ol it flatter themselves Van Norv’s action will bring down the party thunder on the heads of the obstinate republicans who refused | to ald the scheme of the Commissioners of Publio | works; they say Van Nort was the only republican. in any position of influence in New York, that he held the only swronghold of patronages which could be of service to the party, aud that he has | been driven trom it, not by the enemy, but by | members of his own organization.
