Washington, April 12.—Nothing of interest in
legislation has transpired in either branch of
Congress today.
Both houses adjourned at one o’clock to attend
the funeral ceremonies over the remains of the
late Hon. Thomas H. Bentos. At three o’clock,
P. M., the body was placed in the railroad train,
to be conveyed to the West, under the charge
•f Col. Beston’s two sons-in-law.
After the House of Representatives adjourned
today, a man by the name of W. R. Helper, orig
inally from North Carolina, attacked on the floor
of the House the Hon. Bohtos Cbaiqe, the repre
sentative from the seventh Congressional District
of North Carolina. Helper was rather roughly
handled by Mr. Craige. The former was subse
quently held to bail to keep the peace.
The Daily Union, of Sunday morning, in what
many persons regard as a very injudicious article,
classed southern members, who voted against the
deficiency bill, with Freesoilers. This article caus
ed some ill feeling, and it is reported several of
the southern members so classed, have addressed
a letter to the President requesting the dismissal
of the author of the article, if in his power to dis
miss him.

Thirty-PHth Congress—First Session.
Washington, April 9. — House. —Mr. Lovejov
made an ineffectual effort to introduce a resolution
calling on the Secretary of War to inform the
House how many army officers are absent from
their duties and’at the seat of government, and
how many hold an office by election or otherwise.
Mr. Branch spoke with reference to the recon
sideration of the vote by which the deficiency bill
was rejected. He hesitated not to declare that the
monstrous expenditures of the army had almost
reached a point to induce the entire country to rise
and demand a reform, and he pointed out the way
by which this could be effected. He believed, as
heretofore declared by the House in the form of a
resolution, that Utah was in a state of rebellion,
and it is now too late, and would be unjust to un
dertake to control the discretion of the President
as so the disposal of troops.
Mr. J. Glaney Jones, in reply, said that the
Quartermaster General did not send estimates on
his own responsibility, but they were received with
the endorsement of the Secretary of War.
Mr. Branch was satisfied with the explanation,
and said he was glad to find that no outrage on
propriety had been perpetrated by any Bureau of
ficer.
The House refused to recommit the bill to the
committee of ways and means.
The vote by which the bill was yesterday reject
ed was then reconsidered.
The question was then taken on the passage of
the bill, and it was decided in the affirmative; yeas
one hundred and eleven, nays ninety-seven. So
the bill was passed.
In consequence ofthe reported death of the Hon.
Thomas H. Benton, the House, at halt-past two
o'clock, adjourned. It was previously resolved to
adjourn till Monday
Washington, April B.— Senate.— A discursive
debate on the expensive printing of picture hooks,
in connection with exploring expeditions, took
place. Lieut. Emory’s expedition was especially
under discussion.
Mr. Johnson, of Arkansas, and Mr. Brown repu
diated the practice of Congress paying immense
sums for zoology, botany, Ac.
Mr. Bright defended Lieut. Emory as having
brought back one hundred thousand dollars from
the appropriation for his survey. He also contra
dicted the opinion that these scientific works are
useless; on the contrary, they are regarded as au
thority, and several have been re-printed in Eng
land and elsewhere. ~ .
Mr. Fessenden urged that Congress should not
order the publication of any work until all the
manuscript was in. The works certainly are valua
ble, but a judicious, rather than injudicious expen
diture is what is required. He asked benators in
dividually not to encourage the printing ot books
to gratify personal friends.
Hr. Johnson, of Arkansas, gave notice that he
would on Thursday take up the act to amend the
act approved August, 1852, to provide for execu
ting the public printing and establishing the prices
therefor. If this be passed it would put a stop to
these abuses, respecting which so much has been
“u'r Gwin moved that the Senate take up the bill
for carrying the mails by railroad from the Mis
souri river to San Francisco. He bneflycxplained
the several sections of the act, and urged the ne
cessity of immediate action.
Mr. Broderick also asserted the necessity for
eftrly actioD.
The President informed the Senate that he had
signed bills to acquire lands for the aqueduct, and
to permit Lieut. Jeffrey to accept a sword of hon
or from the Queen of Spain.
Mr. Slidell (taking up by consent, pro forma,
the resolution to present a medal to Commodore
Paulding) read a lengthy review of the course of
Gen. Walker in Nicaragua, disapproving of his
eourse, and also of the course of Com. Paulding.
He said that Cuba could only now he obtained by
negotiation, but if Spain attempted to impose a
despotism on Mexico, under Santa Anna, the Uni
ted States should take part in it.
The subject was then deferred, and the Senate
adjourned until Monday.
House.— Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, moved to
lay on the table the deficiency bill, which was
negatived—yeas 43, nays 143.
The question was then taken on recommiting
the bill to the committee of ways and means, with
instructions to report the various appropriations
in separate bills. Decided in the negative—yeas
101, nays 119.
The bill was then put upon its passage and re
jected—yeas 106, nays 124.
On motion of Mr. Montgomery, the House pro
ceeded to the consideration of the Kansas bill.
Mr. Montgomery moved that the House adhere
to its amendment; which motion was agreed to —
yeas 119, nays 111. (The vote was the same as on
the question a week ago, on the adoption of Mr.
Montgomery’s amendment. With the exception of
Messrs. Humphrey Marshall and Bowie, who
paired off, reducing both sides one vote.)
Mr. Branch submitted a resolution instructing
ihe committee of ways and means to report sit
bills, embracing the separate items in the defi
ciency bill, which was rejected this morning. He
earnestly urged its passage, showing the condition
of the army required immediate assistance.
Mr. Campbell opposed the resolution. He was
willing, if the other (the Democratic} side would
take the responsibility, the vote by wnich the bill
was rejected might be reconsidered.
The House then adjourned, pending a motion
to reconsider the vote by which the deficiency hill
was rejected.
From the Richmond Dispatch , April 10.
The Gate Gen. Havelock.
The Rev. W. Brock, of the Baptist Church, has
published a brief, but interestiag, biography of
this distinguished soldier. No new factsare given
in connection with his well known military career,
but his domestic and religious character is set
forth in an interesting manner. Something of the
man’s love of his family and devotion to his duty
may be seen in the fact that, when, in 1849, after
an absence of twenty-seven years, twenty-three of
which had passed over him as a subaltern, he re
turned, broken down, to his native laud, he set
out again for India in two years afterwards, sepa
rating himself from the wife and children, who
’ were all his earthly joy, that he might be able to
: ensure his children au education, the means of
■ which he could only procure by active service in
f India. Says his biographer:
The letters he wrote on his way out prove that
this separation tried him to the centre of his be
-1 ing. On no other subject does he speak so strong
• ly. A letter addressed to his wife two years later
may be appropiately introduced here as exhibiting
Havelock in his domestic relations. He has
written the day before, but remembering it is his
, wife’s birth-day, he says:
■ It appears to me like a dream, so quickly have
the twenty-four years passed away since we be
came man und wife. I may not—who can say?-
i live to see another of your birthdays, so now I will
record how great have been your deservings in
upholding me in my many trials. But, above all,
1 will be registered in heaven the care you have
• taken to train our five remaining children up for
) the blessings of eternity. * * * May God
l guide vou perpetually, and lead you into all holi
. ness and truth. If lam spared 'to return to vou,
may our joint prayers obtain a blessing on those
■ we love. On earth' may you and I meet in peace,
i and in heaven in endless satisfaction.
. Returned to India, Havelock resumed his old
habits of usefulness. At the same time he was ex
ceedingly auxious to place his family in better cir
cumstances. In a letter addressed to his wife in
1856, he writes: “ I hold to my purpose as strongly
1 as ever, I trust, of drawing on the llank of Faith;
t but have learnt in my old age that there is another
. establishment too much before neglected—the
Bank of Prudence.” Great was his joy, when in
’ May, 1854, he was informed that he was appointed
Quartermaster-General to the army, and in Decem
ber, of the same yea , when he became Adjutant-
General to her Maj.sty’s forces. After a separa
tion of nearly seveu years, it was arranged that
some time in 1857 Mrs. Havelock should rejoin her
husband at Bombay, with one or two of the chil
dren, and great was their common joy. But just
as expectation was at its height came the declara
tion of war with Persia. At Sir James Outram’s
recommendation, General Anson offered him a di
visional command in the Persian expedition; and
for the children’s sake he dare not refuse. Thus
all plans for a meeting were postponed. It was
written that Havelock should never see his wife and
children more .
In his religious character General Havelock was
not demonstrative, but, from his schoolboy days,
in the terse and expressive language of liis bio
grapher, “ feared God and. did what was right.' 1 A
brother officer speaks of him when he first knew
him in 1824, when he was only eight and twenty:
“That which formed the highest glory in his
whole career was his sterling Christian consis
tency. He was not a man to parade his opinions
or feelings, or to make any striking display, un
less called for by some act or word of others, when
no one could be more firm in the avowal of his
sentiments, aud his calm, impressive manner al
ways told with effect.”
Another writes:
“He invariably secured two hours in the morn
ing for reading the scriptures and private prayer.
If the march began at six, he rose at four; if at
four, he rose at two.” Even when he was a subal
tern, and through his whole life, he gave one
tenth of his income to objects of Christian benevo
lence. He was never ashamed nor afraid, in his
unostentatious, but manly way, to assemble his
soldiers and thank God for great deliverances, or
to pray for the continued protection of Divine
Pruiidcncc. Ho elocdily instructed hifl men in
the duties of religion, not ostentatiously, nor in a
canting and pretentious spirit, but calmly, sys
tematically and seriously, as a father would his
children. ' He spared no pains to hold them back
from excesses. “There is no such soldier in the
world as the English soldier,” he was accustomed
to say, “if he can be kept from drink.” The con
duct of his command in the field, never surpassed
iu the annals of human courage und endurance,
bears testimony to the influence of the man not
less than the excellence of the soldier.
His biographer thus refers to the closing scene
of this heroic life:
In the interval between his junction with Inglis
at Lucknow and the effectual relief of that place
by Sir Colin Campbell, Havelock’s health had vis
ibly given away. The doctor saw what was taking
place, but there was no remedy. His vigilance and
energy were wanted day and night for women and
children. When the mighty task was performed
the strong man gave away. The repose of the
Alumbagh revealed the ravages which had been
made in his constitution. His own satisfaction
was intense; and on all sides he received the most
pleasing marks of attention. How he valued the
honors conferred on him in England, with the first
only of which he lived to become acquainted, ap
pears from the last letter he wrote to his wife;
“The papers announce my elevation to the com
mandership of the Bath for my first three battles.
I have fought nine more* since then. Love to the
children. Ido not afterlill see my elevation iu
the Gazette; but Sir Colin addresses me as Sir
Henry Havelock.” This was written on the 19th
of November. On the 22nd his disease (dysentery)
assumed a malignant form. His bodily sufferings
were not severe, but strength waft fast failing. On
the 23d Sir James Outram called to see his old
comrade, and heard him say, “ For more than
forty years I have so ruled my life that when death
came I might face it without fear.” The next day,
attended by his faithful eldest son, himself a woun
ded man, the noble warrior died.
He died, but his example lives! An example
of Christian heroism such as the world rarely sees!
An example of true, unpretending virtue and val
or of the loftiest kind! An example of the genu
ine, the noble, the great, in a canting, selfish, and
degenerate age, _
We have some further particulars m regard to
the loss of the ship Admiral Zutuman, which was
wrecked on the Florida coast, about two hundred
and fifty miles from Havana. For the space of nine
days the crew walked up and down the beach, in
the hope of attracting tfie attention of some passing
vessel, and were rt length relieved by the steam
ship Daniel Webster, which took them all on
board. They describe their sufferings as having
been very great. They were frequently attacked
by bears, panthers and wolves. Twelve of the
former they succeeded in killing, and also three
of the latter. Five other wrecks were found on
the beach, some of which were of recent date.
The bodies of nineteen men, and a grave with a
slab at its head bearing the name of Capt. Adams,
were also discovered forty miles below Stryker’s
inlet. —Baltimore American.
A Royal Indian wedding took place in Nebraska
city last week. The high contracting parties were
a Pawnee Chief, called Whitewater, and a blood
royal squaw, Wah-mush-pe-shinga. The lady was
elegantly dressed in a red flannel shirt, with blue
calico border, a checked apron, a summer-killed
buffalo robe, a white felt hat, and a “red petti
coat,” embroidered according to a design of her
own, with porcupine quills, representing a des
perate dog fight. The bridegroom was attired in
all the magnificence which his rank and wealth
demanded. He wore a standing shirt collar, a
medal of President Pierce, a blue straight collared
soldier coat, with brass buttons, and an elegant
pair of Spanish spurs—“scorning to wear any
thing so hard as leather on his toes”—while bis
stalwart loins were admirably clothed in an an
cient coffee sack.

The Arrival and Reception of Hon. Ed
ward Everett.
This distinguished orator, statesman and patriot
arrived in this city, by the South Carolina railroad,
at halt past five o’clock, on Saturday atternoon last,
from Augusta, where, aud at Savannah, he had
been “ buying golden opinions from all sorts of
people,” by his noble display of oratory and pa
triotism, m delineating the character ot Washing
ton. At the railroad depot, he was met and wel
comed by the Committee of Reception and Ar
rangements, appointed for the occasion, consisting
of Richard Yeadon, Esq., Gen. Wm. E. Martin and
John Ashe Alston, Esq., accompanied by James L.
Petigru, Esq. After the noise and bustle of arri
val had subsided, Mr. Yeadon, as chairman of the
Committee of Reception, and in the presence of a
considerable number of sympathising citizens, ad
dressed the honored visitor as follows:
Mr. Everett: Orator, Patriot, Sage: Cicero of
America, Laudator of Washington, Apostle of
. Charity, High Priest of the Union, and Friend of
Mankind: You come among us, at our earnest and
repeated bidding, to portray the character, declaim
the virtues, emblazon the glory, and impress the
example of the Father of our Country; and also
to open our willing hearts, wide as dav, to melting
charity; to charm the ear, refine the taste, and
elevate the soul, by “words, filly spoken,” set as
“apples ot gold in pictures of silver”—by the rhet
orical lesson and the moral precept drawing in
spiration from the noblest themes that ever em
ployed the mind or tongue of the orator, or kin
dled the poet’s sacred tire.
You come, too, to brighten and cement anew
the worn and fretted chain of our political Union,
and to aid in perpetuating that Union in its whole
constitutional integrity and sanctity, and in the
spirit and wisdom of its immortal founder; and,
while thus doing homage and fealty at the shrine
of patriotism, you minister, also, at the altar of be
nevolence, and teach us, like our Great Exemplar,
“to visit the widow and the fatherless m their af
fliction,” and like yourself, his disciple, to prac
tice, the poor out of his poverty and the rich out
of his abundance, that heaven-born and “ twice
blessed” virtue, which blesses as well him that
gives as him that receives, and enables the faith
ful followers of our common Lord and Master “to
lay up for themselves treasures iu Heaven, where
neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and w here
thieves do not break through and steal.”
Patriot, statesman, philanthropist! In your per
son Charleston tenders a cordial welcome to Bos
tou ; the Palmetto Fort oilers a friendly salute to
Bunker Hill: the bold nullitiers of the Stamp Act
give the right hand of fellowship to the gallant
spirits of the Boston Tea Party. Child of the old
Pilgrim State, which laid, broad and deep, the
foundation of American liberty and popular self
government, on Plymouth Rock—son of the Old
Bay State, which rocked the cradle of the Revolu
tion—offspring of the rock-girt and ice-bound land
of the Adamses, the Otises, the Quincys, and the
Warrens—the sunny land of the Pinckneys, the
Rutledges, and the Laurenses—of Marion. Moul
trie, Sumter, and Pickens—bids you welcome,
thrice welcome, to her commercial emporium, now
preparing, we fondly believe, for her speedy cor
onation as Queen of the South. Here, in the city
of the evergreen Palmetto, rival of the Laurel as
an emblem of victory*, in sight and in ear shot of
cannon of Fort Moultrie, public honors awaited
you, had you been willing to receive them ; but
such ceremonials having been forborne, in defer
ence only to your own wishes, the voice and the
hand of personal friendship now greet you, [here
Mr. Y. and Mr. E. exchanged the friendly grasp]
and private hospitality affectionately folds you to
iti bosom.
The applause with which this address was at
tended having ceased, Mr. Everett, in an earnest
manner, and with most musical and winning
tones, replied thus:
Mr. Yeadon , Gentlemen of the Committee and Fel
low Citizens of Charleston : I pray you to accept
my grateful acknowledgments for the honor of
this reception, which, however unexpected, is
nevertheless but a new manifestation of the kind
ness which has attended me since I first, set foot
upon the soil of the hospitable South. When J
left my northern home, a week ago yesterday, to
resume my interrupted southern tour, the ap
proaches of spring were hardly discernible;
scarce a spire of green grass had appeared in the
fields; not a leaf bud had opened on the trees;
patches of suow might still occasionally be seen,
in deep places, or on the shady side of stone walls.
Eight days only huve passed, and I find myself in
a region where the forest is hung with the pom
pous drapery of spring; the thickets and the
fields gay with dog-wood and jessamine; and the
gardens fragrant with the full blown rose. The
rapid change is almost bewildering to the eve;
but I pray you to believe, sir, that the impres
sion produced upon the senses by this magic
shifting of Nature’s scenery is far less deep than
that produced upon my feelings by the kindness
and hospitality with which I have everywhere
been welcomed, and of which you are pleased
to tender me, in such flattering terms, this re
newed and emphatic expression. If I came to
you straight from “the land of granite and ice,”
I beg you to be assured that I bring with me a
Katriotism that knows no sectional limits; a
e&tt that warms to a countryman, in whatever
part of the Union. [Applause.]
1 am greatly indebted to you, sir, for the oblig
ing terms in which you are pleased to allude to
the more immediate objects of my tour. I do, in
deed, esteenl it a chief happiness ot my life, that
I have had the privilege, in my declining years,
and in my retirement from all public employments
and aspirations, to become, in any degree, the ex
ponent of that profound veneration for the char
acter of the Father of his Country, which is the
most widely prevailing and deeply cherished sen
timent of the American heart; still more do I con
gratualate myself, that I have had the good for
tune to co-operate in the accomplishing of the
noble enterprise of the purchase ot Mount Vernon,
which has been thus far conducted on the way |o
a successful result, by the heroic energy, the untir
ing perseverance, and the matchless enthusiasm of
a daughter of Carolina; who, modestly, but. un
avaihugly, seeks to hide herself from the gratitude
of the country, under the unpretending designa
tion of “ A Southern Matron”. [Great applause.]
Nor am I less sensible to the favorable estimate
you are pleased to place on my labors, the past
season, in the cause of Charity. My discourse, on
that subject, prompted, last autumn, by the men
aced sufl’erings of the approaching winter, has
ceased to have any particular appropriativenesS to
the times: but the general principles maintained
in it, are limited in their application to neither sea
sons nor places. The interest of the discussion is
as wide-spread and permanent as human suffering
and the duty of relieving it; and I must own that
no intellectual effort, which I have ever made, has
afforded me greater pleasure than that, by which
I have been enabled, by the kind co-operation < f
favoring audiences, to contribute no inconsiderable
sum in aid of the various charities for whose ben
efit my discourse has been delivered.
But you will not expect me, sir, taken thus by
surprise, to engage m any formal course of re
marks. I beg you to accept this unpremeditated
acknowledgment of your most unexpected kind
ness, and my cordial reciprocation of the friendly
sentiments of which, on behalf of your fellow
citizens, you have been pleased, in so acceptable a
manner, to tender me the assurance. fLoug con
tinued applause. 1
This beautiful and touching addreßS of the gifted
speaker was interrupted by frequent bursts of ap
plause, indicating a highly wrought effect on and
enthusiasm in the bosoms of his auditory. At its
close, Mr. Everett, escorted by Mr. Petigru and
the committee, was conveyed to the residence of
Richard Yeadon, Esq., where he passed the night,
and was visited and greeted by a number of gen
tlemen during the evening. Yesterday morning
he became the guest of Mr. Petigru, with whom
he will continue until Tuesday afternoon next,
when he will return to Mr. Y.’s, and be entertain
ed, as the guest of that gen leman, until he (Mr.
E.j shall leave the city. Mr. >1 attended morning
service, yesterday, at St. Michael’s Church, with
Mr. Petigru, and afternoon service, with Dr. S. H.
Dickson, at the Unitarian Churcß. 4
Mr. Everett, as advertised, will deliver his
Washington to-morrow evening, and his Charity
on Wednesday evening, at the spacious hall ot
the South Carolina Institute, where preparations
will be made for the comfortable accommoda
tion of two thousand five hundred persons, and
where overflowing crowds may bo expected,
comprising the worth, intelligence, and beauty
of the city.
Mr. EvereU has accepted an invitation from
all the leading citizens of Columbia, the political
metropolis of the State, to deliver his Warning
ton at that place on Friday evening next, doubt
less in the most capacious building which that
city can furnish ; and he will leave this city for
Columbia on Thursdav next, by the South Caro
lina railroad ; but whether by the morning or
evening train, it yet remains to be determined,
but more probably by the former. Our Colum
bia friends, however, will be duly advised of the
precise time ultimately fixed.
N*w York, April B.—The legislature has reject
ed the voters registry bill by a vote of fiflj-two
yeas to sixty-seven nays.
From the iiational JnteUnjencer , April 8.
Tlie Wnr in the Crimen.
Marshal Yailhmt, the French Minister of War,
has published a detailed statement of the supplies
furnished by France in men and n.vterial for car
rying on the late war against Russia, which ex
hibits in a very striking "manner the enormous
military power and resources of that nation, and
her great capacity tor offensive war.
The following is a summary of some of the lead
ing items, which may interest our readers:
The whole force sent by France to the Black
Sea was 309,268 soldiers and 41,974 horses ; of the
former 70,000 were killed or died in the hospitals,
or were otherwise missing. When peace was de
clared there were about 146,000 French troops fit
for duty in the Crimea. If to this number be ad
ded the 70,000 killed and missing, it would leave
about 93,000 who may be considered as the wound
ed who had survived; of the horses, only 9,000
returned to France.
The great guns, howitzers, Ac., were 644, be
sides 603 furnished by the navy. There were 800
gun carriages, and as many ammunition wagons.
All the above were fur siege works alone; the
lighter artillery for field service furnished about
50'iguns more, and in all there were 4,800 wheel
vehicles for cannon sent from France.
The missiles for these instruments of desl ruction
were fearfully vast. There were 2,< *50,000 of
shells and cauon balls, 10,000,000 pounds of gun
powder, and G 6,000,000 of ball cartridges fur mus
kets and rifles.
If Sebastopol had not fallen as it did, France
was prepared to plant against it 400 mortars of
the largest calibre, besides all other large ord
nance, each furnished with 1,000 rounds ot shells,
with am munition sutlicient for twenty days’ con
tinued bombardment, and throwing 14 bomb
shells per minute, day and night.
The siege works before Sebastopol led to the
construction of more than 100 batteries. The en
gineers during the siege constructed fifty miles of
trench, in which they used 60,000 facines or bun
dles of faggots, 80,000 gabions or baskets for
earth, and nearly 1,(;00,000 bags filled with earth,
besides ten miles of “lines” or defensive works.
These lines were not mere heaps of earth thrown
up hastily, but were deep trenches, excavated
mostly iu solid rock, breasted by thick and high
ramparts and defended at intervals by strong re
doubts. Besides which the French and Russians,
during their anlagonistic operations of irining
aud countermining, formed no less than five miles
of subterranean galleries or passages in the solid
rock, in some places fifty feet below the surface.
The whole weight of the guns, and ammunition,
and the apparatus for them is estimated at 30,000
tons, earned over the sea.
The implements connected with the above were
v.f immense number and great variety. Picks,
shovels, boring tools, sand-bags, pallisades, che
vaux-de-frizc, ventilators, smoke balls, capstans,
laddeis,-carriages, chests, wheels, planks, iron,
nails, pitch, tar, caudles, charcoal, canvass, mining
powder, tents, wooden huts, &c., gave in all a
weight of 14,000 tons. Among the lrrge items
were 920,000 saud-bags aud 3,000 wooden huts for
barracks.
Bewildered as some readers may be at these vast
military operations, they still will be able to ap
pieciate the enormous supplies of food and other
necessaries for the soldiers. The food sent from
France, besides items of smaller quantities, was
30,000,000 pounds of biscuit; 90,000,'M.»0 pounds of
flour, equal to 450,000 barrels; 7,000,000 pounds of
preserved beef; 14,0' 0,000 pounds of salt beef and
lit d; 8,000,000 pounds of rice; 4,500,000 pounds
coffee; 6,000,000 pounds of sugar; 10,000 bead
live cattle; 2,500,000 gallons of wine; and nearly
1,000,000 of pounds of Chollet’s preserved vegeta
bles were among the larger items of supplies.
The collateral manufactures and outlays con
nected with the above supplies were in themselves
remarkable. For instance, there were 26*>,000
chests or barrel® for the biscuit alone; 1,000,00 U
of sacks or bags for the other articles.
The horse-lood presented some large items: 170,-
000,000 pounds (equal to 85,000 tons) of hay ; 180,-
01)0,000 of pounds (90,000 tons) oats and barley ;
2,000 tons wood ; 20,000 tons coal, charcoal, and
coke—-this, of course, only for the army, and does
not include coal for the steamships. There were
150 ovens to bake bread, and 140 presses to pack
hay. These items assisted to makeup the enor
mous weight ot fit o,ouo tons weight of food, tod
der, and fuel, requiring 1,800 voyages of ships to
carry them to the East.
The clothing was another branch of larger item
of supply, comprising garments in such hundreds
or thousands that it would be tedious to enumerate
them ; but, as some clue to the matter, the number
ranged from 250,000 to 340,000 for article of
clothing. There were 240,000 pairs of sabots, or wood
en shoes, besides 36<’,00<> pan s of leather boots aud
shoes; for the piercing cold of the Crimea there
were 15,000 sheepskin palitots, 250,000 sheepskin
gaiters, and 250,0*10 capotes and hoods; there were
tents for 250,000 men.
The harness and farriery departments present an
immense quantity of supplies; among them were
800,000 horse shoes and 6,000,000 of horse-shoe
nails ; of men’s clothing, horse clothing, and tent
apparatus, there were 2O,0"0 tons weight. Besides
ail the artillery supplies, engineers’ supplies, food,
fodder, fuel, harness and camp apparatus, there
were many other accessories which required large
supplies, such as the medical service, the treasury,
the post office, printing otfiee, and telegraph.
In nothing French so much excel as in
their hospital arrangements. They sent over 27,-
00'> bedsteads for invalids, as many mattresses, and
40,000 coverlets. There were the materials for
ambulances for 24,C00 sick men, COO cases of sur
gical instrument., and 70 »,<)0 > pounds (350 tons)
of lint, bandages, and dressings of various kiuds.
Then, for the sick and wounded there were the
most liberal supplies for their sustenance, such as
concentrated milk, esseuce of bouillon, granulated
gluten; of Chollet’s conserves, Ac., there were
200,000 pounds. There were also thirty complete
sets of furniture and appliances of every kind for
moveable hospitals, each capable of accommo
dating 500 sick or wounded.
There were 2,900 carnages of various kinds for
the use of the French military train, (the carriers
for the army,) 900 large chests, each capable of
containing 1,400 rations; altogether, there were
14,000 men ana 20,000 horses, mules, buffaloes,
and oxen employed in conveying food and baggage
to the French army.
The treasury or military chest was well attended
to iu the Freech army by a staff of ninety officers,
who attended to that as well as the post olfice;
and Marshal Vaillunt says that the French army
received their pay and tiieir letters whilst before
Sabastopol as regularly as if they had been in
France. The cash expended at tlie seat of war
was 285,0n0,000 francs, equal to about 56,0*30,000
dollars, most in coin, though there was a portion
in treasury notes, which were readily taken by the
large traders in the East.
Electro telegraphing and printing were both in
full operation m tlie Crimea. Semaphores and
electric wir s were both in constant use, commu
nicating orders from headquarters to the various
army corps encamped outside of Sabastopol, and
were conducted by a staff of sixty officers. The
English laid down a sub marine telegraph cable
from Balaklava to Varna, and France connected it
with the net work of Europe in telegraphs from
Varna to the Danubian provinces, two hundred
miles, with stations at Varna, Shumla, Rustchuk,
and Bucharest, with a staff of sixty officers.
Lastly, Marshal Vaillaint tells of the vast mari
time preparations for conveying the army and its
supplies over the sea. The French navy furnished
132 ships to the army for this purpose, and these
ships made 905 voyages, carrying in going and re
turning 270,000 men, 4,300* horses, and 116,000
tons of material. Besides, the British Admiralty
lent eight ships of war and forty-two chartered
vessels to aid France in carrying her troops and
materials of war. But the far larger number were
the merchant vessels chartered directly by the
French government, amounting to 1,264 of all
kinds. A fine fleet of sixty-six large steamers and
twenty-two fast clippers were constantly making
to and fro voyages during the war, besides a fleet
of vessels that were carrying food and fodder from
the various ports of Turkey and Asia Minor to the
Crimea.
Among the vessels employed between France
and the Crimea, though not stated in the report of
Marshal Vaiilant, were 40,*»00 tons of American
vessels, embracing some of the finest and largest
clipper ships, as well as some steamers of the
American mercantile, and for whose services a
most liberal fompensation was made. Taking
the totality of all the voyages made by all the men,
horses, and material, there were conveyed by the
French government during the two and a half*
years of the war 55‘>,000 men, 50,010 horses, and
720,000 ton® of material.
The expedition of Bonaparte to Egypt in 1799,
and of the French to Algiers in 1830, were con
sidered prodigious efforts at the time, and each
required many months of active and anxious pre
paration, but neither of them exceeded thirty thou
sand troops, and though they were two of the
most important and largest expeditions that had
ever left Europe, they sink into insignificance
compared to the French operations in the Crimea,
which were conducted on a far more gigantic
scale than any other war the world has ever seen,
by expeditions conveyed over the ocean at such a
distance from the countries carrying on the opera-
