Ilarrisbarg, March 17th, 1556. Sclect Aft Englishman in America. His Opinion of War between England and the - United• States, The following article appears in the London Shipping and Mercantile Gazette : . Sta : I have row made the tour of the States of America, and think it probable I can give your readers some useful information. I landed at New York city ten .months ago, and -have spent my-time in studying—the 7 eharaeter and customs of these people, and must conies§ that if I remained ten years the, result would. be thesame ; and I know very. little about thein. But upon one point—national pride— men, women and children are all alike, and the idea ofany nation of Europe, or the whole of them put together, conquering this country is perfectly absurd to them. Frery body reads the papers, and - a 'good-humored urchin of twelve years used' to rate me soundly at Phila delphia for our failures at Sebastopol. The best version of American sympathy was given me a few days since. When the war com menced-the Tams were the weaker power, and our sympathies were with her. After the al liance it was three against one, and our sytW ptithies o went for Russia ; but, should France join_Thtssia_to• tn or ro w ag i n st_E gi.a government could not prevent its citizens from not only sympathizing with England, but as sisting her with material aid. This I heard from _a very' intellioent man, who I do not think suspected my nationality; and I firmly believe it., In the South I spent some time upon the - plantations, and many times held lotg conversations with the slaves, and al ways with the same result. They are much better satisfied' than , I suspected, and when I 'spoke of the probability of a vvat I was answered that €%Vhit..o folks woulibitletnigg. fight." '"But," said' I, "the blacks from the West Indies will come here and help you to gain your freedotn." "What ! , black soger come here ; let 'em cum, den, rnassa let's fight de nigga, I know, and Gar - Almighty we give 'em gosh !" If not expressed in •the same language' the same feeling was ever expressed. I have visited all their national -armories, and although the country-is at peace, the great est activity prevails ; all the old arms are con-_ demned. and by next spring nearly 1,500,000 llinnie rifles will be ready for distribution, be sides Colt's, Clark's, and others. A Mr. Al ger, at Boston, is now engaged on a new kind of gnn for the navy. The range, with solid shot, is nearly five miles ; with shell, some what shorter, and the explosion of the shell renders conflagration certain to a great dis tance. These are called. by those at work on them, the secret gun. But what the secret is I could not ascertain. Since the war rumors I have been observant of all and every thing that could give ine a clue to thefeelings of the peo ple. This is -fiat difficult to come at, for the feeling is general, and their confidence is so great in their own strength that the most difli- 1 dent speak only cf the consequences and the result — ln company with a party of merchants, most of whom were engaged in trade with Eng land, I broached the war subject, and was as tonished to find them so indifferent about the consequences. One of them, largely interested in clipper ships, in answer to a remark of mine, that he would have to lay up his clip pers—" Not a bit of it," said he, "they will make capital privateers: the government will furnish guns of long range ; no British man of war can catch them except a steamer, and they cannot in a good breeze, so we must take chances." "But where will you get your wen ?" "Where ! We have 84,000 enrolled fishermen who will flood our sea-ports, and I will tell you candidly that in less than six rn.mths after war is declared there will be 500 of . the fastest - vessels in the world afloat asprivateers, prwateers, and an English merchantmin will no_-be_able4o-•sho h if Pt si" W4ll if we lose a few, we will make e - el a it op iii th y wu., weaniers were lanetied a few days since, eaeis about. 4.000 ton-1, built in eight months, and IL is just as easy to build 50 in the same true or less." -Rat year coasts are not de: „ Remember yu.a "have no Sebastopol "milli ilemsimpr----Vruntth 3grirniturr, Titrraturr, iturro,' tqt „Varitrts, SrutraLitumrstir_ad l'arrian 3fftelligrutr, inarrtising, slittugnutut, EGO nor Cronstadt." ...Nor do we want any. We have a few very pretty forts, but should any nation attempt an invasion, he will meet them with hands and hearts equal to any, superior to most; and we can concentrate 500,000 men at any point on our coast in a few days. Let the hours near 50,000 men will make their appear ance armed and equipped." This sounds like bragging, but it is a fact. This city (New York) has near that nutither enrolled and equipped ; every man keeps - hir rifle at hotne or in the, private armory of the company to which he belongs, and I find it the same throughout the country. I have frequently met with boys of 12 . 0 r 14, with guns and game-bagS, start ing at early dawn for the woods, for here they can shoot game wherever found. War is ar gued_against by every_bodyas something-to be avoided;-hut the idea of backing out to avoid it does not appear to enter the mind of any body. Some of the papers speak of the Presi dent's 'Message disparagingly, but the people are with him, and T candidly believe be would' he elected if the election caniqolf to-day. • And, I regret I cannot defend my-country .nt this time as I would wish. The Bulwer-Clayton treaty is plain and explicit, and these people don't and won't understand double' meanings in.treaties. They.say the man with •the white hat does not refer to the individual in the white - cap. and my Lord John Russell ac knowledges the American - interpretation.— There are thousands of men here that the Americans would be glad to get clear of, but that does not justify Englankin breaking their laws by enlisting them ; a ny Lord Ptil• tnerston's instructions were so thing hke telling a man to stab his neighbor but not hurt bim. HOC treaty (Clayton and Brilwer) is adher ed to,, we have the States pledged never to.oe copy it, (Central America,) tor, say what we will; they will• stick to' the treaty and it will never be annexed ; abrogate it, and in less than ten years it will be one of the States of the Union.' The Canadians are 'a very loya; set and think they could take possession of the States at a moment's warning. They have hors without having the wherewith to brag on. A trip up the lakes is tbe,most convinc ing proof We can' have of the difference in the two people. On the American are well-finish ed cities.and towns, saw-mills, railroads run ning m every direction—in fact, you seldom loSe sight of the locomotive—and there are in numerable steamers at 'every landing. On the Canadian, where there are settlements, you see the - well-kept, comfortable dwellings, the smooth-sheared lawn, and everything wears an air of comfort ; but little_or no business, with the exception of-the--grtat railroad. How ever, they are rapidly improving ; but should there be war, the largest and best portions of Canada are lost to us. Quebec, Halifax, and other points would bother them. But to sum up my own observations after every opportuni ty that one man could have afforded him, the result would be as follows : Mexico, Cuba, and the whole of Central' America would_..b.e.annex ed in the South, and I have little - doubt of CanatiaTin the North ; millions oftreastrre - a - re thousands of valuable lives hist to England forever ; our commerce crippled in every sea, and some fighting that will gladden the hearts of our tried soldiery. Now, what can we gain ? A foot of territory ? We don't want it ; and if we did, -six feet for the majority of our brave fellows, I fear, would be the extent. Naval or military glory we don't want, and a., forthe_sand beach of the Mosquito king it is_a decided humbug. ‘Vhat would be the result to this country'? It would put her back in prosperity for half a century ; it would ruin thousands who are now in af fluence, but would enrich thousands who are now poor. But the great advantage the Ameri cans have is that they can produce and manu facture everything they want ; the different -elltriate-affords-this.--They would-get-accus tomed to their own goods and discard ours for ever. But the greatest injury to all parties,l and I may say to the world, would be thei muk • ug_of_this_aatio-ri -25 ,000 ,000-a-warl ke people, and, once instilled with the love,of 'war, the propagandists of . Europe woull, have', a fearful ally. The last year's crop of wheat is officially given at 170,000,000 of bushels, and everything else in proportion, so that we cannot starve them out; and, from my own observation, I would rather see England con . • this country. I am no croaker, nor have I any doubt of the power and wealth of my be loved country, and, if need be, could again handle a musket for her honor and glory ; but the day that war is declared between these two mighty rivals a contest will be commenced that will bring more horrors in its train than the -world There is another item _which I am like to forget. Many of my countrymen place great dependence on the abolitionists, or friends of freedom in this country : but I assure you their greatest protection here is their insignificance. _They flourish as long as thought harmless, but the slightest suspicion of their collusion with a foreign foe, and they Would be annihilated ; in fact, I have proved to my entire satisfaction that those terrible and exciting questions are only intended for political effect ; but attach any importance to them affecting, the interests of the country, and they are gone. You would, no doubt, be astonished to hear that many children of foreigners, and, in fact, foreigners themselves, are Know Nothings, started to proscribe them ; but such is the fact. - I have extended my remarks further than I intended, but they have one desirable feature—that is, truth. Should they prove acceptable, I may again intrude on you. I remain. yours. JAMES 13. WARREN. Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 11. 1856. Poll Evil in Horses.

UIEM GETTYSBURG, - YA. : MONDAI, How a Quaker Collected a Bad Debt. Near - the close of the last century, a Quaker knight of the-shears and thimble, who exercised his avocation in Philadelphia, was imposed upon by an 'adroit scoundrel,-who contrived to eloped without paying for•them. The Quaker was . too poor to lose the debt, - but like too Many others of his ehith he had' apparently no other alternative. The account, was placed on his tiookii,and soon forgotten. , Some years afterwards he was examining his old records of debt and credit, profit and less, whenhis attention was attracted to this ac count, and all the circumstances attending it came fresh to his . mind. Suddenly an odd thought suggested itself. to him. • 4'lll try- an experiment,--'-said he-to himself, "perhaps I may succeed in catching the rogue and getting my pay." Ile immediately prepared an advertisement in substance as foliows, which he inserted in the Philadelphia Gazette: " C who, was in Philadel pli;a about the month of —, in the year 1795, will send his address to the editor• of this paper, be will hear of something to advan tage. Printers in neighboring States are re quested to copy." The latter clause was inserted from a vague suspicion .that the rogue had taken "up his abode in New 'York. Having instructed the editor not to disclose his name to the,rogue if he should call, but to request the latter to leave his address, the Quaker patiently waited the result of his experiment. In a short time ho was informed by a note from the printer, that the individual alluded to in the advertisement, having arrived . from New York, might he found at a given place in the city. The tailor lost no .time in preparing a transcript of his account, not forgetting to charge interest from the time the debt was contracted. Taking a constable with him, wh9 bore a legal process suited to the occasion, he soon arrived at the door of the lodgings of the swindler. The Quaker now rang the hell, and when the servant , appeared, requested him to inform the gentleman ofwbom RIMT•••••••••••=mornmns ea v with him at the door. The man obeyed the Summons. and sown the debtor and creditor were looking each other in the face. "How dost thou do ?" kindly inquired the Quaker. "Perhaps th.ou dust not know' me." .4,,believe I have not had the honor of your acquaintance," politely answered our hero. "Dolt thou remember purchasing a suit of clothes several years ago of a poor tailor and for getting to pay for then' ?" asked the Quaker. "Oh no, said the gentleman blushing slight ly ; "you must be mistaken in the person. IL cannot be me that you -.vish to find." "Ah ! John, I know thee very well. Thou art the man I wished to see. Thou hast on at this very moment the waiscoat I made for thee. Thou must acknowledge it_ was of good stuff and well made, or it would not have lasted thee so long." "0, yes," said the gentleman, appearing suddenly to recollect , himself ; "I do remember now the circumstance to which you allude.— , little bill before leaving Philadelphia. and you may depend on my doing so. I have collie here to take- pos ession of a large amount of property which has fallen to me by will. See here is the advertisement which apprised me of my good fortune." Pete he handed to the Quaker a New York paper coniaininc , a copy of the advertisement, the history of which we base given above.— The Quaker looked at it with perfect gravity and continued— "Yes, I see thou art in luck. but as my de mandis a small one, I think I must insist on payment before thou cotnest in possession 'of thy large estate." The proper signal here brought the constable into the presence of the parties. The swindler n.%_par-ticul a rly-astanished-at-the—appearatict of this functionary, who immediately began to execute his part of the drama.' "What!" exclaimed the rogue in an angry _tone. "you_surely_havertit_soed oral" "Yes, [ have," replied the Quaker, "and thee should be thankful that nothing worse has happened to thee." "Come into the house," said the debtor, finding himself fairly caught, "come in and I will pey you if I must." The three wont into the house together. and • - :lippery geitt4entaingccrta!ited --- th amount of the hill paid it in full. The tailor ' having signed the receipt:placed it in the hands of the debtor, with feelings such as may be readily imagined. The swindler took it, and for the first time glanced at the various items of which it was composed. Ile said nothing • till he came to the last charge; which was for "adverlisin4, l . ; when- e e or 1— "Hello what's this 4 - For advertising an odd charge in a tailor's bill. You are cheating me !" 6'oh, no," coolly replied the Quaker, "that is all right. I have charged thee the cost of publishing the advertisement thee just snowed me." Here the swindler uttered a horrid oath, as he exclaimed, "Do you mean to tell we that you caused the publication of that advertise ment ?" "Truly I did," replied the Quaker, with most provoking coolness. "Then you tell, a lie in it," quickly retorted the rogue. -Convince me of that," said the Quaker, "and thou wilt find me ready to confess the fault." = "You said that I would hear something to my advantage if I would come here." "Thou art mistaken," immediately respond ed the Quaker ; "I only promised that thee should hear •something to advantage,' and is it not to the advantage of a poor tailor to collect an old debt ?" "If 1 catch you in the street," said the swindler with an oath, and the deepest rage_ give yo'i such a cowhiding as will not leave a breath in your 1)0(17." "Sunset' note," said the Quaker, "if thou really hi - tenths( to di) anything of that sort, thou watildst not wait for that opportunity." The rogue was completely non-plussed by the coo l nes s o f the Quaker, and stood speechless and alrnoq petrified. "Now," said the Quaker, good naturedly, "let me give thee a piece of ativiee.
