TUESDAY, JUNE 4th, 1861, THE EXPECTED NEWS. — ——— gence from St. Louis to the date of May 26, ‘events have. taken.place.

In the first place, after the men have been enrolled, ~ ‘compétent ‘quartermaster. and commissary departments must be created, without which an army can neither be moved nor fed.— These are matiers thatrequire much time, care and labor.

These must all be taught. To thé school of the soldier succeeds the school of the conipany,to that the school of the battalion,and to that the crowning abstrusities of the evolutions of the line. Each ono of the steps in the ladder of military scholarship mast be mastered before the next ore is taken. A fancy village company, eemposed of fine looking young fellows, splendidly uniformed, marching and wheeling with the regularity of machinery, and making sad havoc with the hearts ofall the. romantic girls in the neighborbood, might find iteelf in an awkward predicament when first aligued as a component part of a battalion.

The process of subsidence goes on, white the seacurrents and rivers’ pour into the estaary fine sand and mud, in which branches and stems of trees from the up’andsere meluded. This process continues until, the. ainking of the ocean-bed either altogether ceases or 13 counterbalanced by the rapidity with which the sediment is deposited. Thebasin becomes gradually: shallower, and the -plants begin to reappear, commencing perhaps at the coast, and creeping seaward until the whole basin is again overspread by a forest of huge cryptogamic trees arborescent ferns and conifers, with a dense undergrowth of giant grasses. These, generation after generation, flourish and die, their leaves, branches and trunks ffalling around and gradually accumulating, till the pulpy mass attains a thickness.of twenty, fifty-or one hundred feet. The process concluded, the basin agsin commences to subside, the waters returies: stratum after stratum accumulates, till the vegetable pulp is subjected to the pressure of, it may be, thousands of feet of solid matter. Meanwhile chemical as well as mechanical changes ensue, and in process of time what was‘once a forest is changéd into a bed of coal. By a repetition of this process, with local variations, we may conceive the formation of any number of coalseams, amounting, in some districts, to fifty or sixty, and embraced within 4 vertical thickness of several thousand feet of shales, clrys and sandstones. Ages roll on, the strata are moved from their foundations ; upheaved from the sea-bottom, the breakers and currents sweep away & portion of the oovering, and the mineral treasnres are brought within the reach of miving industry. —[Huil’s Ceal Fields of Great Britain. Ss BARBARIAN LuxuryY.—In spite of the monstrances of the English, the King of Dahomey has fade the enormous human ‘slaughter which he snnounced in henor of the late King Gezo. The particulars of the butchery had not yet been received, butone of its principal features wes the filling ofa canal, which was dug some months ago,-with buman bleod, This was large enough, and was filled deep enough, so that the new King eould takes pleasure voyage on it in a eanve aluxury of ferocity, which it has been reserved to the latter half of the nineteenth century to witness. The number of victims was estimated by. one-person at two thon-’ sand, and by anotheer at seven thovisand, and one of the witnesses says, ‘‘ the blood flowed past Hidi‘like a river.” °° oho.

A glorious refutation of this unmitigated {slander is seen ia the profuse and munificient offers. of money from all classes in the community to sustain the goyvernment. Probably not less than’ seventyfive. millions of dollars have been voluntarily offered by banks and private individuals, while millions havé beén cuntributed in ready money to equip and supply troops.— Never was a people so free both of blood and treasure in supporting their rulers.

The process concluded, the basin agsin commences to subside, the waters returies: stratum after stratum accumulates, till the vegetable pulp is subjected to the pressure of, it may be, thousands of feet of solid matter. Meanwhile chemical as well as mechanical changes ensue, and in process of time what was‘once a forest is changéd into a bed of coal. By a repetition of this process, with local variations, we may conceive the formation of any number of coalseams, amounting, in some districts, to fifty or sixty, and embraced within 4 vertical thickness of several thousand feet of shales, clrys and sandstones. Ages roll on, the strata are moved from their foundations ; upheaved from the sea-bottom, the breakers and currents sweep away & portion of the oovering, and the mineral treasnres are brought within the reach of miving industry. —[Huil’s Ceal Fields of Great Britain. Ss BARBARIAN LuxuryY.—In spite of the monstrances of the English, the King of Dahomey has fade the enormous human ‘slaughter which he snnounced in henor of the late King Gezo. The particulars of the butchery had not yet been received, butone of its principal features wes the filling ofa canal, which was dug some months ago,-with buman bleod, This was large enough, and was filled deep enough, so that the new King eould takes pleasure voyage on it in a eanve aluxury of ferocity, which it has been reserved to the latter half of the nineteenth century to witness. The number of victims was estimated by. one-person at two thon-’ sand, and by anotheer at seven thovisand, and one of the witnesses says, ‘‘ the blood flowed past Hidi‘like a river.” °° oho.

PES YEG heimtes Tne MERCENARY NORTH,—Ithas been a standing taunt of Southerners that Northern people were mereenary, and cared ‘only far their pockets. A glorious refutation of this unmitigated {slander is seen ia the profuse and munificient offers. of money from all classes in the community to sustain the goyvernment. Probably not less than’ seventyfive. millions of dollars have been voluntarily offered by banks and private individuals, while millions havé beén cuntributed in ready money to equip and supply troops.— Never was a people so free both of blood and treasure in supporting their rulers.
