Tlio grcnt majority of tlio pooplo of Kngland hnvo littlo knowlodgo of American Affairs. Nor is this to bo wondered nt when wo considor that they obtain prolty much nil thoir in formntion from English newspapers which, as n goncral thing, do not givo n fair (statement concerning our public affairs. The American press quoto libornlly from tho English press, nnd henco it is that our peoplo are so much moro convorsant with English affairs, than Englishmen aro with thoso of tbia country. Ono would nnturally Biippofio that tho sy inpathios of England would have been entirely with thr North, whilo putting down the most formidablo rebellion tho world over witnessed. But not so. Never woro n people more shamefully nbusod than thoso of tho North. Tho London Times nnd othor leading papors seem ed to vio with onch othor in giving their renders the worst sido of the picture. Wo will not deny that dur ing our great struggle wo had some able friends in England to advocate our cause, but they worocorapnrntivo ly few. Our attention is moro particularly called to this subject at this time from reading a letter from "Carleton" the nblo and very nccurntc foreign corres pondent of tlio Boston Journal, who writes intelligently concerning this matter. Ho says: "Now andthen you see an item somo accident or start ling event copied from tho American press, but no articles setting forth public affairs from tho American stand point. Tho meagro telegraphic dis patches sent through ltoutor's Agency aro often ono-sided and so incomplete that no correct opinion can bo formed ns to what is taking placo in America All of tho loading London newspapers havo correspondents in tho United States, nearly all of which givo opin ions instead of definite stntoment of facts. "Wo quoto further from "Cnr leton's" letter: Tho Standard, which has a circula tion second only to tho Telegraph, has an American correspondent who com mences his last letter, written from Now York, in this wiso: "To nn American it is by no moans a pleasing reflection that there is not in tho United Stntcs ono statesmanlike mind." "With this for an opening sentence tho corresp indent goes on to show that America is great in her rivers, lakcB and mountains, in everything physical that her men of the "West and Southwest nro grant nliysioillv, but that, alas t sho has no men of romd. "Wo arc," bo says, "a nation with out ono Statesman, without ono phil osopher, without ono orntor, without ono scholar really great"(l) And this miBioriuno no further says: "is duo primarily beyond all doubt to our sys tem of education." "Tho bebt of American colleges do not deserve to tako a higher rank than the best of English prepaiatory schools." From this ho goes on to show tho shallow ness of American education; the mor el dyspepsia which follows: tho neces sity which oiery American is under of rushing into political life; every boy in America being taught to boliovo that ho is to bo President, painting Ameri can lifo in such colors that ono not knowing to tho contrary would think that it was tho solo thought of every rami to got into office, llo has this to say concornmg Congress: During the past four years thoro havo not been uttered in tho American Congress a half dozen speeches that would not, if repeated in tho British Parliament, provoke a tcmpebt of ridiculo and de rision." There havo bcon clever mon in tho past, Mr. Clay, Mr. Calhoun, Mr. "Webster and tho Adnuisos, but they nro gone all greatness 1ms dopurtod. Ho looks not only at tho past and present, but into tlio future, and states thnt tho country will soon go in for repudiation of its debt but not in tho noxt campaign. Tho West will havo tho controlling power, and will certain ly repudiato sooner or later. Tho Standard's correspondent is either a knave or a very stupid fellow: it mutters littlo which. The Ameri can nation, then, is "without ono Statesman, without ono philosophor, without ono orator, without ono schol ar really great 1" Well, aro wo not in a sorry plight? Our collogos, which havo sent forth into tho world mon who havo mado a world-wido mark, do not "tnko n higher rank than tho best of English preparatory schools." "Wo had supposed that our peoplo ns a whole wero tolerably well educated, until wo read tho above, and wo must believe it still unless bettor authority is furnished to convinco us otherwise, than tho asinino correspondent of tho London Standard. Tho predictions of such nowspapurs as tho Standard, and thoir correspon dents, havo so often provod false, that it is, indeed surprising that tho peoplo Bhould longer tako stock in them.

The writer of the article has of lato had frequent interviews with Mr. Johnson, nnd unusual aignilicance is attached to tho editorial in political quarters. Gen. Hchofiold has ordered the elec tion in Virginia for the 22d of October under the 'Reconstruction net, disre- gnuiing tho suggestion which the President had mado for uniform elec tions in all tho Southern States on tho first I'uosdny in Novombor. It is said that the President's friends declare that Schofiold will certainly bo ro moved unless ho postpones his elec tion ordor. There is a report that Gon. Banks advised Gon. Grant to hold on to tho War Oflico if tho Prosidont should un dortako to remove him. Ex-Govornor Pickens of South Car olina has been in consultation with tho President. Ho is pleased with Gen.

' 1 to read tho resolutions of tho "Union Club of Kiehford;" astonished thut thero could bo found onough men in that good town, with littlo ouougn brniu or honesty to swallow thoso niuo ' resolutions, nnd cast nn infamous slnndor upon Vermont's noblo Kopro sontatives, and ropcat tho weak lio of inequality of taxation, nnd echo tho most baso, dishonest and traitorous cry that over disgraced n party which would botray a nation, all in ono shor evening. That Club is not at homo. It may do for the desjiorato South, or the profligato West, or ovon tho oasy-vir-tned Middle States to raise this cry of repudiation, but for a "Union Club" in old Vermont to join, oven in tho pip ing voico of niuo resolutions, is a shame. But. thank God, thoro is not an echo in all your hills, or a truo heart in all your borders Unit can ro poat tho demand for tho violation of soloinn compacts, and tho breaking of n nation's faith. Wo wait for tho voico that Vermont has already spo ken, for much as wo criticize, and bit terly condemn, wo yet fcol that our wholo dostiny, and tho very hopo and lifo of tho nation aro bound up in tho Republican party.
