My Dear General,—I have just the pleasure of receiving your kind letter of the 26th November There is no man in the armv, [ say it with truth, whose yoo! op nion I would sooner enjoy than yours; | wherefore you wil! my assurance of my great gratification and my sincere thauks for the kind manner in which vou speak of the exertions of the 2nd Division under my command in the battie of the 5th November, when we had to contend for a whole day with immeasurable odds of the enemy. We only did our duty, but that we have got credit fur; that is to a source of great, and, | trust, pride. We were never taken by surprise; ve always knew the Russians would come up where they did—they might do so to- ' Our picquets were on the alert, and behaved to admiration; our division was under arms and in order of battle in an incredibly short space of time, but our division was under 2,000 strong (1), in- cluding the picquets engaged, and the enemy came in multitudes. We, how- -vyer, held our ground, not only until the other divisions and the French came up, but all day. My feilows were ten and a half hours constantly engaged with the enemy, Without a morsel to eat—the only thing they cried owt was for fresh ammu- nition! The officers, oh ! my best officers, went down one after the other, and my best men, until I thought my heart would have broken! Your son is a five, brave fellow, general, and you have reason to be proud of him. I hope be may see many a fight, but I pray God he may never again be under such terrific fires ashe was at the Alma and at Inkerman. As the battle of the 5th took place near my camp, it fell to my lot, after the retreat of the Russians, and the recall of our army, to arrange for our security for the aight. I saw 40,000 Russians close ia our front, who, although beaten, were still formid- able from their numbers; it was, therefore, many hours after nightfall before I was out of my saddle, so that, though poor —-—— was hit close to my side, and in the very thick of the fight, I could be of no personal use to him. I humbly beg his dear mother to forgive me for this ne- glect, but I sent to the staft-eurgeon to re- quest that he might be p'aced in the same hospital tent with my friend Gen. Adams, also wounded, where I knew he would be well cared for. My night was passed among the dying and the dead, and the rascally maranders, whose infernal trade [had armed parties out to stop. Next day, and for a week or more, we were bringing in the wounded and burying the dead, so that | have never seen heard from him yesterday at Scutari. I think he will have to go home. He isre covering favourably of his wound, but his constitutien has received a shock, and I think he will require rest. Go where he will he bas my approval and good wishes, and i shall always be glad to have him at my side.
“Although by God’s mercy I escaped many a severe day with the enemy, still I have had my time, my dear General, in consequence of the constant rain and wet and exposure in camp. I was seized about the end of November with a sharp bowel attack, which brought me very low; how- ever, 1 am thankful to say I have weath—

I can never forget his affection.

A PREPARING FOR WAR,
Leading Men in Great Britain Hope and Pray for Peace,
VENEZUEL
24.—A special Herald from Vente znela 18
New York, December despatch to the New York Caracas, Venezuela, says: making active preparations for war as the possible outcome of the boundary dispute with Great Britain. Four places between ‘aracas and La Guayra have been fortifi- ed. Ar. Russel, secretary of the American lelegation, arrived in LaGusyra to-day. He was given a rousing reception and a can
pon salute was fired in his honor. After the great mass necting of citizens in the
Simon Bolivar plaza called to thank the president of the United States for his mes- saze on the Monroe doctrine, and its ap- plication to the loundery dispute w th (Gireat Britain, the students of the univer- sitv visited Santa Croz to ask President Creep >to arm the m lita 'he president replied to the delegation that he was glad to see their display of patrieticm. Presi- dent Crespo said he had received a mes- erge from. the governors of Lara and Miranda, saving that popular had been held to send thanks to President Cleveland. Venezuela bad 156,000 rifles on hand for the nse of her soldiers.
New York, Dec. 24—The New York World on Sunday sent to the leaders of the church and state in Great Britain, whose word as tothe aciual state of Brit- ish sentiment would carry here the most weight, brief telegrams asking for expres- sions of their feeling a3 to the oxisting difficulty between the two countries. Fol- lowings are some of the replies :
Lord Roseberry telegraphs from Edin- burgh : “I can only r-ply that I absolutely disbelieve the possibility of war between the United States and Great Britain on such an issne as this, for it would be the greatest crime on record. History would have to relate that thetwo mighty nations of the Anglo-Saxo.: race, si a time when they appeared to be about to overshadow the world in the best interests of Chris- tianity and civilization, preferred to ent each other’s throats about a frontier squabble ina smal] South American re- public. The proposition only reqnires to be stated to demonstrate its absurdity. All that is wantelis a level head and cool, common sense in our governments.”
The telegram to Lord Salisbury was replied to as follows: “While fully reciprocating your friendly sentiments it is impossible for the foreign secretary to take the course you suggest. Signed, E. Barrington, foreign office.”
The Bishop of Manchester telegraphs: The possibility of war with America fi'ls most of us with a feeling of horror. It would be toa!l intents and purposes a civil war, and could not fail to rouse passions and create enmities which many years wou!d fail to allay. This would be all the more unfortunate because of late years the feeling in England for America and Americans has ben one of continua! ly increasing and even fraternal interest and admiration. We cannot see what there is in the present lispie to create such dep irritation as we hear of, and we are sure that if for such a cause war is allowed to arise between brethren before every legiti- mate means of civilization is exhamsted, those who precipi-:ate the contest on either side will have committed a erime against civilization. May God avert so great a crime and calamity.

Cardinal Vaughn: Our common humanity and ovr Chri-tianity would sternly condemn a fratricidal war. Every

Cuicaco, December 24.— At a meeting last night of the Iroquois club, priocipai democratic organizaiion of its kind in Chicago, the following resolution was un- animously passed: “.sesolved that this club most heartily supports the president and congress of the United States in de- termining to enforce recognition of the Monroe doctrine in the controversy be- tween Great Britain and Venezuela.” The second part of the original resolution was rejected. It read as follows: “Aud we believe, with our Secretary of State, that on this continent the United States of America is supreme and its fiat is law.” This declaration was considered much too radica! and was voted down by nearly a two-thirds vote. There were several speakers, and all, with @ne exception, counselled war in the event of Great Brit- ain refusing to back down from its posi-
tip.
Sprinerie.o, Ill., Dee. 24—When ask- ed for an opinion in regard to the Venez- ueian question Senator Palmer said: “The politicians are playing for position. The country in dispute is worthless and is certainly not worth the life of a single American citizen. We cannot assume a protectorate over the southern republics.”
Sr. Pererssure, Vee. 24—The general sentiment here, in spite of anti-Epglish instincts, has veered round after the public had been liberally treated to columns about the Monroe doctrine. As forecasted in my despatch yesterday the sympathy which was at fir-t expressed with President Cleveland’s message is rapidly dying out. The more serious opinion of the diplomotic and political world is ranging against the exaggerated application of what is looked upon as a national sentiment. Novesti, by far the most intelligent paper here, expresses the Russian view of the con- flict It must be divided into three groups of interests, says this paper, the scramble for auriferous lands, the effort to extend the preponderance of the United States over both Americes§} and ja ty agilation.

Interviewed by your correspondent to~ day. he eaid of the election announce. ment: “It’s a pretty quick order, There is a litile sharp practice on the part of the government, but we would scarcely expect anything else from them, still we are ready for them, and are not at a!] sur-
rised,”
“What wil] be the stand of the opposi- tion on the school question ?”
“We take the stand that it is in the interests of this country to avoid interfer~ ence in our schoo! legislation by the Par- liament of Canada, and this, we believe, can be easily done.’’
“How ?”
“No doubt, the feeling of the people favors national schools, but at the same time, the feeling of the people favors liv- ing within the conatitution, and wy idea is to follow out the constitution, and do what would be just and right.”
“How would you do this ?”
“That remains to be seen.”
“Something like the Ontario schools ?”
“I don’t think it would be necessary to go back to separate schools, but I think Dominion interference could be avoided by handling the question right. You know there is nothing more easily fanned than the flames of bigotry, and for this reason I think that those preachers who have been holding forth on this question should have employed their time at something else. They have plenty to do in their own work in preaching the gospel wi hont going into the school question.”
