A PAMPHLET has recently been published professing to give "A Few Facts about Peat as Fuel." One of the facts not stated in the pamphlet, but mentioned by the Cleveland Herald, is that some of the American companies owning the Canadian peat bogs are suffering heavy losses through fires in these bogs. The long drouth in the East has dried the swamps, so that when the fires now prevalent in the woods reach the peat bogs the peat takes fire and burns as fiercely and as inextinguishably as coal in a burning mine. The Canadian papers have accounts of these fires, nnd the travelers down the St. Lawrence for weeks have seen the heavy smoke of one of these great fires extending for miles, and which has burned three or four feet deep in the ground.

Wellington Correspondence of the Tribune.) I\inc years after this buttle lias happened we begin to feel that we walk upon the solid ground in estimati^j its heroes and its importance.

In the first place wc learned to estimate the character of McDowell, who planned this battle with a cool, wise head, and fought it upon this plan according to the best advantage he could make of the material that lay at his command. No other battle during the whole war was belter advised, and none in the East fought upon the offensive, during the next three years, had more nearly been successful. The Federal commander was assailed forthc folly of his troops here as few commanders have ever been, and yet

kept up heart, stood patiently by the cause, took a thiid-rate place under McClellan with generous resignation, and gave all the successive men placed over him hearty support and since the death of George II. Thomas, it is sale say that there is no man in the United States upon whom wc rely for judgment, for devotion, for willingness to suffer above the common late of all who suffered then, more than Irwin McDowell-

Last winter, when the Army of the Potomac met at Philadelphia, and McDowell sat quietly among them, thinking himself an unsuccessful man, and one set down among the failures of the war, a quiet voting officer arose with his glass in his hand, and proposed the health of General McDowell. As he did so he made a stammering effort to say that since the war had passed by, and wo were come to know man for man and man to man, we were equal to the appreciation of the commander of the first Army of the Potomac. At once the whole table rattled with bravos and hearty cheers, and amid more applause than had greeted the name of any man that night, McDowell arose, profoundly moved, the most patient and heroic martyr of the war, and he said, as he had always said, that he knew the justice of his countrymen would come at last: that he had expected it long before, but that he had not complained, because lie knew that it would come and then his cold, regular army nature melting down to the occasion, he gave a little burst of egotism, which was truer than tears, because it was both the occasion and himself.

There are more men who fought in the Army of the Potomac who would enlist under McDowell to-day than uiide^ any general commander which the war in the East turned out. His great element of character ivas resignation, never mutinying, never abusing any man behind his back, holding to the cause at the expense of frightful calumnies heaped upon himself, and it is probable that his fame will grow henceforward as roundly as, during the war, it was suddenly obscured.

At the battle of Cedar Mountain there were a thousand men who would have shot McDowell in his tracks, if they dared, for not coming to the relief of Banks, and Geary, now Governor ot Pennsylvania, denounced him, as he (Geary) sat up in bed with a wounded arm. On that occasion, as everywhere, McDowell was a man without ostentation, wi fffa hard military education, and he would not move until he had orders, which he never got. It is well for us who live under a popular government, and can say what we please of the high and the low to have lived long enough to be able to read or write aright the life and services of this man. The justice of republics grows slowly, but it grows. Not among the least of the probabilities is this that the rational" reaction for McDowell will expand until, if military men are to be hereafter considered for high civil place-, nobody will have a better right than he to be named among men for the chief magistracy.

As the women took their positions at the line there was a little delay to clear a way through the crowd that surged around them.

The Wanton War.

From Harper's Weekly.] It is not surprising that the Duke de Grammont, the French Foreign Minister, complained that the tone of the English press would produce uncontrollable irritation in France. He meant, of course, the French Government, which has precipitated a most monstrous and wanton war. It is undoubtedly very disagreeable to such a government to hear the firm and indignant protest of the intelligence of other nations. It is too immediate and significant a justification of the remark of M. Thiers: Public opinion will turn against us the journals of Europe will be against us." M. Thiers is an old journalist. He knows the real power of the press. He feels that a war condemned by its general voice is a war without glory. He sees only too clearly that no adequate reason can be given for the incalculable suffering, sorrow and loss which are let loose in Europe by the French declaration of war and yet M. Thiers is tjie Frenchman who would make uncompromising hostility to PrusHan ascendancy the spring of the French foreign policy.

Fi ance stands accused at the bar of civilisation of renewing all the miseries of European war. What is her defence? It is to be found in her official statement of grievances, which are three: the French Embassador has been insulted the King of Prussia would not compel the withdrawal of Prince Leopold's candidacy and the King allowed the prince to accept it if he wished. There is here no pretense of the fear of Prussian ascendency, which has been urged as the real justification of the French action, and which the New York limes pleads. And ii is not mentioned because of the simple fact that the withdrawal of the Prince removed the ground of the complaint. When the candidacy was abandoned, France had no more reason to attack Prussia than she had six months a^o. Undoubtedly France wants the Rhenish frontier. But she did not dare gravely to allege her cupidity as a justification of a tremendous war. The wretched pretexts of the declaration show, therefore, only that she was resolved to fight. She believed herself strong enough to break the peace of Europe in the hope of acquiring more territory in the universal tulmult, lavage, anguish, and desolation. The hope oi' civilization must be that such a crime may be punished as it deserves. No wonder that the old German love of father-land bursts into a flame in the hearts of Germans beyond the sea nor that an English journal exclaims that the Bona partes have exhausted Heaven's patience!

On the issue of a struggle between two nations so military and so inflamed, it is hardly possible, if the war continues, tLat ftelings long slumbering will not awake. The memories of the days when the uncle of the French Emperor trampled Germany in blood will kindle every heart in that "great land, solvit its sternly disciplined martial array will be backed bv a boundless enthusiasm. Indeed, the war which Louis Napoleon hopes will frustrate the designs of Bismarck and humiliate their author, will only further his policy. For his great object, which isactuaf German unity, will be promoted much more readily in war than in peace. Bavaria and Hanover may be jealous of Prussia but Bavaria and Hanover are German, and they will fight to the last to prevent a French victory over Germans upon German soil. Community of hopes and perils and struggles, of reverses and successes, will "weld them all the more closely, as the common fortunes of our Revolution knit the colonies into a nation.

The other powers will prefer absolute neutrality. If they must take part, Russia and England would gravitate toward Prussia. German Austria could aot easily see Frenchmen humbling Germans. The King of Italy is related to the possible heir of the French empire, and the old tyranny of Austria madetheGermans cursed—maladetti Tedesehi— in the Italian mi id. But Italy owes its independence to Prussia, and has not forgotten Villafranca. It certainly could not join heartily with Austria for France. Spain must desire to keep wholly out of the fray. Denmark would gladly see Prussia humbled. Sweden wants no war. It is, indeed, easy to see that such a maelstrom as this war may suck in the most reluctant victims. But it is to be hoped that the protest of foreign opinion against a war so wickedly provoked by France may be steady and strong enough to confine it to the original belligerents, and to hasten the restoration of a peace so wantonly disturbed.

The Chinese Visitors in Fhtj ence Want to see a Sninmury Execution. Florence correspondence London Stordard.l

The members of the Chinese Embassy, now in Italy, have returned to Florence, after a short visit to Naples. The other day they made their appearance in the diplomatic gallery in the House of Deputies There is an old story about the ex tiaoidiniiry liuhbub created oncc upon a •mie in a political assembly at Athens by the inti usion of a poor, forlorn quail in the *erv heat of a momentous debate. Politics were at orcethrown to the winds, the benches the deserted and orator left indignantly gesticulating to theempty rows orunceremoniously jostled from right to left by the grave legislators in their frantic efforts to catch the quail. A somewhat similar effect was produced in the Italian Chamber by the unexpected entrance of these queer-looking little Asiatics, with their pigtails and teacupments. All eyes were at once turned upon the illustrious strangers conservatives and radicals left their scats and papers and joined in friendly groups, taking stock of their Celestial visitors. Ministers rose from their table and went up stairs to compliment their Excellencies, and poor Mr. Musoline, at the very culminating point of a fierv denunciation of the system the "men in power," and so lorth, found himself declaiming and thumping his desk without a single hearer.

The chief Celestial however, who was taking notes (and faith he'll prent em when he gets back), asked what that angry man was doing, and received for anwer that he was making a violent attack upon the government. "Oh, then, let me know when his head is to be cut off," said the Chinaman, delicioudy fanning himself, "as 1 have never seen an execution in Europe." Is this true or only ben trovato? The torv is told and solemnly vouched for: but our Chinese visitors aie no novices by this lime, as they have been through the United States and s» the principal European countries. I am as-1 sured, too, that our most distinguished Sinologists, for the most part mere book students, are obliged to confess that, although they make themselves understood. thev can not understand a word that is said to them in reply. So perhaps, the anecdote is not authentic, although von will allow that it deserves to be.
