Frederick the Great of Prussia terminated the first Silesian war at tho age oi thirty; the second Silesian war at tblrtythrse; aud at forty three, with a population of live millions, he successfully opposed a league of more than one hundred millions of people. Cortes effected the conquest of Mexico at thirty-six, and Pieirro the con quest of Peru at thirty-five. Lord Clive reached the zenith of his military fame at the same age.

Napoleon was a Lieutenant at seventeen, Captain at twenty, Chief of Battalion at twenty-four, General of brigade at twentyflve, and Commander-in-Chief ef the Army of Italy at His great Generals were all, with scarcely a single ex-. young men. The mean age of the eighteen Marshals whom ha nominated on becoming Emperor was forty-four. On the other hand, the principal Generals who opposed him, were, in the campaign of Beaulicu, nearly eighty; Wurmser, eighty; and Alvinsi.over seventy. Iv 1800 Meles was General in Chief of tbe Austrian forces, who had served fifty years in the army.

Iv 1805 the French were opposed by KulersolT, then sixty, while still more aged Generals directed the plan of operations.

For seven long years he conducted with unfailing fortitude and increasing energy tbat remarkable In the war of we dug up the old officers of the Revolution, men who had been successful in their youth, and placed them at the head of our armies. The consequence wss a steady series of disasters and defeats not retrieved till we supplied the places of the octogenarians by the younger the Jacksons, Scotts, Ripleys, and who soon turned tbe tide of battle. Our wonderful naval victories were won mostly by young men. There are not wanting in ancient or modern history many examples of aged Generale who have achieved remarkable military successes.

In our own country Taylor and Scott, in the Mexican war, surpassed all others in energy and generalship. No youth of twenty-one ever fsught with more vim than Rough and Ready, and Scott's achievements In Mexico, seconded by tbe remarkable soldier now at the head of the Army of Northern Virginia, completely threw into the shade the military reputation which he had achieved-in his youth. But it is clear, from the history of the past, that promotion to high military rank should not be based on the system of exclusive seniority. Wellington declared that such a system would soon utterly destroy the efficiency of the British army. Military knowledge and military energy form tbe essential combina tion for a leader of armies.
