It was the bloodiest battle in the war of the Spanish Succession, and both the English and French have plumed themselves for a century and three-quarters upon the heroism their soldiers, and the skill their commanders, displayed there. It was fought Sept. 11,1709, by 80,000 English and Dutch, under the command of the Duke of Marlborough and Prince Engene, and 70,00(fFrench, under the command bf Marshal Villars, Marshal Bouflers, and the Chevalier St. George, the latter a son of the deposed James II of England. The loss of the English and Dutch has been generally stated at 20,000 killed, wounded and missing. That of the French was about 10,000. The contend­ ing forces were about equal in numbers to those which fought at Gettysburg, where, according to the Comte de Paris's figures, the Army of the Potomac lost 247 officers and 2,816 men killed, 1,137 officers and 13,355 men wounded, and 182 officers and 5,253 men missing; to­ tal Union loss, 22,990. The reported rebel loss was 2,572 killed, 12,706 wounded, and 5,150 missing; total, 20,- 448. The Comte de Paris finds that this was much below the reality, and, he says, there are many "disagreements which cannot be explained, • * • whether taken in detail or as a whole, the compi­ lation can only be regarded as approxi­ mate. Several of the reports indicate tj^ niauy of the 'missing' were killed or wouncTed; especially Is*this the DsJ» with Pickett's Division, of Longstreet's Corps. Again, in regard to the rebel reports of the number of missing, he says: The records of the prisoners of war on file in the offlce of the Adjutant-General, United States Army, bear the names of 12,227 wounded and unwounded Confed­ erates captured by the Union forces at and about Gettysburg from July 1 to 5, inclusive. Yet Gettysburg was only a small por­ tion of the fighting done by the Army of the Potomac, and the Union army as a whole, while the battle of Malplaquet virtually ended the fighting in the Span­ ish War of tbe Succession.--iVat/on*/ Tribune. The War and its Kssnlt The great war of the rebellioa was fought to a successful termination by the volunteer soldiery of this republic. No grander achievements wereever won on the field of the battle in any age or in any couutry, than was won by the pa­ triotic volunteer soldiers of the union army. The union arms in the hands of the private union volunteers of this land es­ tablished the principles that this govern­ ment is one and indivisible that from ocean to ocean and from the lakes to the gulf, there is qnly room for one flag and that flag must float over one united peo­ ple. By that contest the perpetuity of the government by the people and for the people was secured. that contest the shackles fell from the limbs of 4,000,000 slaves and the American government became in fact what the Declaration of Independence proclaimed it to be in 1776, The principles established by the her­ oism of the union soldiery enables every American citizen to stand up in the face of the world and say America!' the land of the free and the home of the brave. Since the war no country under the sun has grown so rapidly in population and prosperity as has tke United States of America. And to day we stand the most wealthy and most powerful nation on the face of the globe. And for this grand achievement we are indebted to the volunteer soldier* of the union army, for by and through them all these conditions were made possible. All that we have and all that we are in point of peace and prosperity, we owe directly to the bravery an^» heroism of the men who wore the blue from '61 to '65. By their acts and daring deeds, by their pa­ tient endurance of hardships and dangers, by their prowess upon many a hard fought field where death walked unchecked in the broad glare of the mid-day sun, these brave men established the fact that the United States is a nation vyth a bigN. All that we have left to say is, let the government deal justly with the men who did all this for the government, who did it amid trials and dangers, and who to­ day are sufferers from the exposures and hardships then endured. The parties now in authority should not be permitted to eat or sleep until t.lu>y do justiii' to the fienerpl Grant's Horsezaansliip. 'Speaking of General Grant's 'jlp; horsemanship,'" said General N. P. Banks a few evenings ago, "reminds me of an in­ cident that occurred soon after the battle of Port Hudson, in which he gave me the race of my life. General Grant paid the army under my command a visit at th® period mentioned and was asked to re­ view it. He brought with him no horses, and I loaned him for the occasion the niagnificent bay parade horse which the patriotic citizens of Massachusetts pre­ sented to me when I went to the front ia 1862. All of my oJj| soldiers will remem­ ber that bay horse. I rode on the review a thotougjhbred black mare, and I was in a constant state of anxiety lest she would run away with me when warmed up. Well, the troops were drawn up in a line, and we rode down the front lines at a slow pace, but when we reached the rear lines Grant would pnt the bay at his utmost speed, and as he was nearly thor­ oughbred, he could run. Grant sat on the bay as if he was part of hiin, but the difficulty I found myself in was not to keep up at the regular distance, but to prevent my animal from distancing the General and running off with me. Grant rode like a demon and I after him until the review was finished, the troops in the meantime watching the scene with inter­ est mingled with astonishment. For some days afterward the troops were heard discussing the event, arid, as far as I can learn, never settled the question aa to whether it was a horse race or a mil­ itary review." While on the subject of horses, contin­ ued the General, "the two animals that 1 took with me into the field at the out­ break of the Civil War survived all tbe campaigns iu which I was engaged. When I returned to Civil pursuits I took ray horses back to Massachusetts with me and kept the faithful animals until they died. The bay horse which I have men-* tioned I rarely used except on parade or in an emergency. He was too valuable to risk his life on the field of battle. I usual ly rode another bay in battle, a big, power­ ful and zealous animal. He was wounded on several occasions, but none of his wounds seemed to be serious enough 1o incapacitate him from active service. I rode him at the battle of Cedar Mountain* N. Y. Tribune. . f .*tk . «wJi *u«NitUfc- ousatry. ^ , ' t h e Noli IfWg' Rttrce Some one idea that a flag should be placed on every school house. The idea, after this sU{ gestiori, appealed to be contagious ani all over the country boards of cli or teachers began to agitate the fl question and place them in schoolrooms? What a grand idea this is, because iti brings prominently before the mind of the child a very important feature of his education that we must not neglect--the flag symbolizes country and suggests patriotism. The public school interests, of all others, should be loyal to the na­ tional government. The very conception of our system of education was necessi­ tated by our form of government. The liberality with which it deals with its cit­ izens and the freedom of action it extends would be dangerous in the hands of an ignorant people aud indeed we are con- stantly having evidences of the danger of too much freedom on the one hand and too much ignorance on the other. So, along tfith the idea of humane, liberal and progressive government has grown, that other idea of universal education, Geo. Washington and our forefathers In­ troduced this nation as an experiment. The public should have demonstrated its expediency and its future existence as a fact. The flag stands,for our history, the grandest triumph of human liberty that the world has ever known. The flag stands for some of the blood of our own time spilled by our brothers, uncles, or fathers on the fieldB of Donelson, Gettys­ burg, Shiloh, or the Wilderness. These were grand heroes. They saved this na­ tion from the destroyers, the traitors of the South. Such energy, such blood, and such lives as they offered as sacrifices up­ on the country's altar that the old Stars and Stripes might gladden the hearts again of a free and united people, must never again be the price of the perpetuity of this nation. The standard bearer of this nation's honor in the future, so far OB its own sub­ jects are concerned will not be dressed in the blue uniform with gilded buttons, but in the peaceful garb of the school­ boy and the school-girl, who under this system of education, are developed into a broad intellectual citizenship that will banish warfare as au arbiter of internal difficulties. Our flag now stands for our intelligent* and civilization, and should occupy a conspicuous place in every school-room. Teachers, if your board has not already done so, see if it will not buy a flag for your school-room, or take up a collection in the district, or get the larger pupils of your school to have* an entertainment and spend the proceeds for a flag.--Ioim Teacher. ^4 % rt pri- anitSt i.S NEW SPRINfj CLOTHING. .
