The following items are from the Southern papers
of to-day and yesterday :
"SAVANNAH, JIM_ 29.—The city is comparatively
quiet, and no immediate attack is apprehended.
The object of the Yankees seems to be to cut off
communication with Fort Pulaski. There were six
Federal gunboats at Wall's Cut, and seven at the
head of Wilmington Island, commanding the chan
nel of the river, yesterday. Tatnall'a fleet con
veyed two steamers and a flatboat towards Fort
Pulaski with provisions. The enemy opened fire
upon them, and the battle lasted forty minutes.
The provision boats and the steamer Sampson are
now returning. The Federals fired upon the latter
and she was slightly damaged. Fort Pulaski is now
fully provisioned for six months. A letter from an
officer of the fort says that the enemy cannot take
the fort by any attack.
"The Yankees are engaged in removing the ob
structions in the channel. There are other defences
yet to pass. The people of Savannah are firm end
confident in their ability to defend the city."
The Norfolk Day Book calls upon the ladies to
contribute their old woollen skirts and dresses to
the Government, the price of flannel used for fixed
ammunition being so high as to subject the Govern
ment to a serious tax.
The New Orleans Delta says that a steamer ran
the blockade from Charleston, on the 13th, with one
thousand bales of cotton.
The vacancy of the rebel Congress, caused by the
death of Tyler, will be filled by. an election on the
10th of February,
AUGUSTA, Jan. id.—lntelligence from Savannah
thataislederal vessels entered the river.yes,_
terday, baok of Little Tyboe, and passed up to the
north end of Wilmington Island, thereby cutting
off the communication between Fort Pulaski and
the city of Savannah. The enemy shelled Wil
mington Island and fired at the Confederate steamer
Ida, but no injury was done. Commodore Tatnall's
fleet was at Thunderbolt.
Some of the pilots who had refused to give their
services to the officers of the Burnside expedition,
report that the Federal forces are thirty thousand
tttdng, and that the fleet numbers its vessels.
The Shinplaster Confederacy.
We have now on exhibition at our office a simon
pure Confederate ten-cent shinplaster, issued by the
Bank of Tennessee, which reads as follows :
" The Bank of Tennessee will pay TEN CENTS to
bearer.
" Nashville, Dee. 1, 1861."
It is signed, "For the President," by a string
of mysterious-looking [characters, apparently a
cross between Sanerit letters and Egyptian hiero
glyphics, which, as near as we can interpret them,
spell Every. Probably the clerk was heartily
ashamed of the picayune business at which
he was employed, and was resolved not
to be known in the matter. This sorry
looking attempt at money making, which
throws the sea-shell currency of the Africans and
the soap currency of the Mexicans entirely in the
shade, has for its vignette a train of cars—the
same, we suppose, that Buckner stole from the
Louisville and Nashville railroad—and at the up
per corners fee-similes of the old Spanislt bit with
the crown, pillars, and inscription: " Hispanise et
Ind. Rex,"—that is, "King of Spain and India."
What a motto and emblem for this self-styled Re
public ! The paper of the bill is of the same quality
used by tallow-chandlers in their candle-boxes. We
think the bill is, on the whole, very appropriately
gotten up and embellished. It is as flimsy,
mean, and dirty as the Confederacy itself, and
quite as worthless. Its very smell and touch sug
gest bankruptcy, repudiation, and out-at-elbow-
VMS. Still, we think we could suggest some im
provements for the next issue. We like originality
along with appropriateness. The designer has the
whole book of natural history to choose from, and
all the mythology, and the minor embellishments
may be taken from alligators, Eumenides with
their snaky heads, pellicans, harpies, rattlesnakes,
buzzards, Tantalus, Ixion, the Titan labor of piling
rocks to reach the skies, burning torches,_ whips of
scorpions, and "terror , rage, paleness, and death,"
the attendant ministers around the throne of Pluto.
The motto on the right might read " The way we
get our rights," and that on the left,
If so very soon we're done for
We wonder what we were begun for.
The bill might also read: "The Bank of Ten
nessee will 9iever pay the bearer," as every cue
knows that not one of this wretched spawn of bank
ruptcy will be redeemed. The Pillars of Hercules
are approprtae as a legend to this bill, if read
aright, to show that it requires God-like powers to
sunder a Continent as the straits of Gibraltar now
flow between Abyla and Crape.
There is a volume of eloquence in this insig
nificant scrap of paper, shin to that which
speaks so touchingly and forcibly from the rags
and squalid wretchedness of a prodigal, whose
vice and riotous career have plunged him into
the depths of misery and want. What a com
ment does it offer upon all the lofty vanntings
we were wont to hear from the Dußows and Keitta,
and Wigfalls and Memmingers, on the inexhaus
tible wealth of the cotton States, which we were in
sultingly told were to wave their sceptre triumph
antly ever the prostrate form of all countries that
raisedknothing but grain, meat, and Ctobacoo !
Cotton, the pitiless tyrant, was to put his heel on
the head of the prostrate world, and all were to do
him reverence. And here,
on a little strip of pa
per, we read the shameful refutation of the pro
phecy. It speaks in thunder tones of the falsehood
of the *O&M leaders, who have precipitated
their people into a vortex of want, bankruptcy,
and shame. Every glimpse which we obtain of the
Southern Confederacy proves its terrible failure,
and,
Another Letter from General Halleek to
The following letter is published in the St. Louis
papers
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF MISSOURI, I
ST. Louis, January 27, 1862.
Major General Sterling Price, commanding,
4-e., Springfield :
GENERAL : A man calling himself L. V. Nicholas
came to my headquarters a day or two since, with a
duplicate of your letter of tho 12th inst. On being
questioned he admitted that he belonged to your
service, that he bad come in citizen's dress from
Springfield, avoiding some of our military posts,
and pawing through others in disguise,"and without
reporting himself to the commanders. He said that
he bad done this by your direction. On being asked
for his dad of time, he pulled from his pocket a
dirty handkerchief, with a short stick tied to one
corner!
You must be aware, General, that persons so sent
through our lines, and past our military posts to
these headquarters, are liable to the putizshment
of death. They are no more nor less than spies,
and probably are sent by you to this city to act as
such. I shall send Mr. Nicholas back to your camp,
but if you send any more persons here in the same
way, they will be regarded as spies; and tried and
condemned as such. You must know, General, that
the laws and usages of war require that a bearer
of a flag of truce should report at the nearest post,
and should not pass the outer line of sentinels with
out permission. Re should not even approach with
in gunshot of a sentinel, without displaying his flag
and receiving a signal ic advance. if he have de
spatches, he should seMfor an officer to re.fitive and
receipt for them, which officer should direct the flag
of truce to immediately leave our lines. Answers
to such despatches should be sent to you, by us, in
the same way.
In a postscript to the copy of your letter of the
12th inst., just received, you oall my attention to
the fact that a band of men' are "firing.private
houses, barns, mills, Ac." I presume you refer
to a baud of outlaw', au the Eansaa freatier. They

this department without my authority. As soon
as I heard of their depredations I ordered Gen.
Pope to either drive them out of the State or to
disarm them and confine them. Be assured, Gene
ral, that no fiats of wanton spoliation, such as
"firing private houses, barns, mills," Sc., and
"burning and destroying railroad bridges," ke.,
will be countenanced by me. On the contrary, I
propose to punish, with the utmost Severity, every
act of wanton destruction of property, public or
private, and every act of pillage, marauding, rob•
bery, and theft committed in this department, no
matter under whose orders or authority the guilty
parties may have acted.

Affairs in Rolla
The correspondent of the St. Louis Republican,
writing from Rolla, under date of January 27, says :
In the hurry in which my letter of yesterday was
Written, I had enly time to notice briefly the news
brought by tke gentleman from Lawrence county,
and it may be well to refer again to his statements.
This gentleman is one of some prominence in the
Southwest, and his opinions may be regarded with
much consideration. He thinks that Gen. Price
will not fight, notwithstanding his boasts, and the
threats of his men against the " Yankees." He has
it from three different persons—all Secessic-ists—
that his entire force does not exceed ten th• sand,
and, unless he receives hoary reinforcements, it
will be dolly for him to undertake to oope with our
army. Of these reinforcements he knows nothing.
Thin gentleman represents that the people_ of
Lawrence county are now living in more peace
and with less violence among neighbors than they
have done before since the war began. A few days
before he left home, a whole company of State
Guards—Capt. Brickley's—had returned home and
were behaving themselves in a quiet, peaceable
way, that showed a disposition to become once more
well-disposed eitigens.
A gentleman who left his home in Green county,
a few miles from Springfield, on Wednesday last,
arrived here yesterday , morning, and immediately
took the cars for St. Louis. :During the necessarily
brief conversation I had with him, I was unable
to gather any information of great importance. He
says there are no entrenchments being built, and
but little uneasiness is manifested by Price or any of
his officers. There is a general cry for reinforce.
snouts, and the rebels say they are on the way, but
they do got agree as to the numbers, and, alto
,gother, their ettitrwepte are atitiroly Contradictory.
Ile met a large number of Federal troops in
Lebanon, among them Colonel Phelps' regiment.
Our pickets were out several miles beyond that
place. A skirmish had taken place at or near
Lebanon, on the entrance of our troops, in which
a rebel captain, named Craig, was killed, an
other men wounded, and several ethere taken
prisoners.
66 The Situation" in Missouri.
The St. Louis correspondent of the Chicago Trz
buns says:
Sr. Louis, Jan 27, 1862.—Military preparations
for active operations gaily lii the Sprang ale plainly
in progress, and, as the enemy is probably as well,
if not better, advised of all our movements, there
.can be no particular harm in ventilating what is
understood to be the plan of the neat campaign.
This plan is subject to many contingencies, and can
therefore be quickly altered. It is, not to be,sup
posed that any thorough military strategist would
fail to make all proper allowances for the failure of
some portion of a general plan, and Ao concert
measures to prevent any minor failures from dis
turbing its general harmony. With this preliminary,
it is hardly out of order to mention that at'recon
rioissance of Warsaw and Osceola, at the crossing
of the Osage, has been made within a few days,
preparatory, to the occupation of both these places
by large bodies of our troops from Sedalia and
points on the upper end of the Pacific Railroad. It
is already known that Lebanon has been occupied
by 5,000 infantry and nearly 2,000 cavalry. Fort
Scott, in Kansas, is likewise a military post of some
prominence, and is now' arrisoned by a large force
of Kansas troora. Now east your eye on the map
of Southwest Missouri, and you will perceive that
with Lebanon, Warsaw, Osceola, and Fort Scott in
our possession, a cordon is drawn around Price at
Springfield by which his field of operations is
limited to a half dozen counties. He is thus
hemmed in so completely that he cannot advance
in any direction except Arkansas, and at any time
the Federal troops are set in motion, converging
towards Springfield, Price must retreat. In a few
weeks hence, Springfield will be in our possession,
never, it is hoped, (for the sake of the most un
swerving loyalists outside of St. Louis,) to be given
up again to the enemy. Farther than the recover
ing of Springfield, (len. Halleck has given us no
clue to his plats, but all the foregoing is the subject
of free discussion and general approval in military
_circles—lt_ia net nntarely
printed, Warsaw and Osceola will be in our poi
session, as Lebanon is already.
GENERAL BUELL'S DEPARTMENT.
From KentuOky
LOUISVILLE, Jett. SO.—The remains of Oenoral
Zollicoffer and Bailie Peyton, Jr., arrived at Mun
fordsville to-day in charge of Zollicoffer's brigade
surgeon; temporarily released on a parole of honor.
On Wednesday evening a locomotive and tender,
going northward for water, collided with a freight
train, killing James Whitley, a 6.l 4 6Eciitii i and in
juring several others.
There is no news from below. No forward move
ment in Southern Kentucky is expected for some
time, the condition of the roads making tranporta
tion impossible.
Colonel S. S. Fry
The name of Colonel Fry, commander of the
Fourth Kentucky Regiment in the battle of Lo
gan's Cross Roads, who is believed to have shot
Zollieoffer, has become already, a "household
word " with loyal Kentuckians.
Colonel Speed Smith Fry is new about 44 years
old; having been born in 1818, and a man of mild,
amiable disposition. He is the grandson of old
Joshua Fry, of Danville, who has been dead about
twenty-six years, and the Bon of Thoine.9 Fry, also
of Danville. When the present Colonel was about
sixteen years old, his father moved to Crawfords
ville. Indiana. After his father's death Speed
Smith Fry returned to his native town, where he
remained till the beginning of the Mexican war.
During that war, he was captain in the regiment
commanded by Colonel McKee, and distinguished
himself on the battle-field of Buena Vista. It is
well known to many that he killed his man in that
memorable battle. The circumstances we repro
duce here. A Mexican, detached from his com
rades, was seen to load and fire, with great delibe
ration, three or four times at Captain Fry's men.
The Captain took a musket from a fallen soldier,
and fired, and the Mexican was never seen again.
It is useless to tell how that regiment came off the
field covered with glory. In that bloody battle
Colonel McKee was killed, and, if we mistake not,
the lieutenant colonel also, Major Cary Fry, a
cousin-of Speed Smith, taking command of the re
giment. This incident in Mekloo, and the death
of Zollicoffer, prove. Colonel Fry to be a man of
coolness, decision, and unflinching bravery.
After his return from Mexioo,
at the end of the
war, he applied himself again to his profession, the
law, in which he was eminently successful. At
the breaking out of the rebellion, he was judge of
the county court of Boyle county, and while many
others were fearful of opening their mouths against
secession, he boldly attacked the rebellion on the
stump and elsewhere. lie was the first to move
in raising troops in Kentucky, and camping at ,
Dick Robinson, recruited successfully two regi
ments,
the Third and Fourth Kentucky. All honor
to Kentucky's noble son. - - Lonist , 2l/A Demzekat.
From Bowling Green
The Louisville Democrat of the 28th ult., says :
We have just seen a letter from Columbia, dated
the 23d, in which the writer states that there had
been an arrival there, direct from Bowling Green,
of parties who left on the 17th. These parties State
that there are about 30 ? 000 troops at that poi*,
eaDd the largest guns are thirtytwo•pounders.
Judge Underwood, who had been in town the day
before these parties left, told them that fifteen or
twenty thousand had arrived, or were expeeted,
from Columbus, but were, we presume, kept back
by the expedition from Cairo.
The news is not of much importance, but it is
stated as a fact that great sickness prevails among
the troops in that vicinity, and that as many as
fifteen and twenty die, on the average, every day.
The rebels say if McCook does not move down and
make an attack before long, they will come up and
attack him.
ITHE MASON-SLIDELL QUESTION.
Reply of the English Cabinet to Secretary
Seward's Despatch.
The London Post, of January 15, publishes the
following important correspondence regarding the
Trent affair:
EARL RUSSELL TO LORD LYONS.
FOREIGN OFFICE, Dee. 19, 1861.
Mr LORD: Mr. Adams came to me to-day, at
the Foreign Office, at three o'clock. He said he
came to ask two questions which concerned himself
personally.
I interrupted him to ask whether what he was
going to say was by order of his Government or
from his own sense of what he ought to do?
Mr. Adams answered that theproceeding was en
tirely his own, but that he had with him a despatch
from Mr. Seward, which he was authorized to read
to me if he should think fit to do so. It ilp
peared, he said,from that despatch, that the Go
vernment of IWashington had not authorized the
capture of the two insurgents, Mason and Sli
dell, and that the United States Government
steed quite mtconinatted at the civic of sending
the despatch.
I said that if the despatch did not
,enter into
any controversy with regard to the case of Messrs.
Mason and Slidell, I should be glad to hear it
read.
Mr. Adams then proceeded to read the despatch.
It commenced by referring with approbation to a
speech made by Mr. Adams at the Mension House,
and proceeded to notice with gratification the sen
timents which had been expressed by lord Pal
merston in' a conversation he had held with Mr.
Adams in reference to the Tames Adger.
Mr. Seward then proceeds to declare that the
American Government value highly dm friendship
of Great Britain, and lament that certain causes
of difference have arisen, owing, as 31r. Sewa r d
imagined, to the want of attention on the part of
the British Government to the performance of the
duties incumbent on a friendly Power during the
struggle in which the United States are engaged.
Mr. Seward gives as instances the ease of commu
nication to the Confederate authorities by Mr.
Bunch ; the admission of the privateer Sumpter to
purchase coal and provisions at Trinidad, In ilia-
Unction, as be said, to the conduct of every Euro
pean State, and the arrival in the Southern States of
vessels laden with arms and ammunition from Eng
land.
Mr. Seward then proceeds to the case of the
Trent, from which ship the two umurgents had
been taken. lie affirms that no instructions were
given to Captain Wilkes which authorized him to
act in the manner he had done. Neither had the
United States Government committed itittg With
regard to any decision upon the character of that
act. The Government would wait for any repre
sentation the British Government might make be
fore coming to any positive decision. Re desires
that, if Mr. Adams should think it desirable, this
despatch shall be road to me and also to Lord
Palmerston.
In answer to Mr. Adams I touched upon most of
the points treated of in the despatch. I did not
think it necessary, however, to recur to the case of
Mr. Bunch.
With regard to the Confederate privateer, I said
that I could not see that our conduct had been
different from that of France and Holland, or of
Spain. The Sumpter had been refused coal from
the Government stores at Trinidad, but had been
allowed to get coal and provisions from private
merchants. The same thing bad takenplace at
Mfirtiniqu9 and At CIRAM, / did not And that
the rule of twenty-four hours had been observed iu
practice, but there would be little difficulty in
coming to an agreement on this point.
In regard to the export of arms and ammunition •
to the Confederate States, I had lately read the
epinien of the Attorney General, and believed it
was in satire conformity with the provisions of the
foreign tnlistment act; warlike equipment of a
vessel was prohibited—the loading a vessel with
arms and ammunition was not prohibited. But,
in point of fact, a much greater amount of arms and
alpgropifiva - bed boo lent to the rodorei States,
where there was no obstacle to the export or the
import, than to the ports of the Confederates which
were blockaded. Mr. Adams admitted this to be
the fact, add Said ho had refrained from pressing a
more rigoitits compliance with the foreign enlist
. went act ior this reason.
I then Ant ' to Mt. Alai the Subetiiiiee of the
two deeper Lhetlx.rititeri , to Lord Lyons on the
subject of - Ilia
ki
I told k at in a private letter I had directed
Lord Lyoidi to talk the matter over with Mr. Seward
two days before reading to him the despatch. Mr.
Adams a'lV4 whether the direction to ford Lyons
to leave le usbington in seven days was in the de
spatch to' be read. I said it was not, and that, in
case Mr. Seward should ask what would be the con
sequence of a refusal on his part to comply with
our conditions, Lord Lyons was to decline to answer
that question, in order not to have the appearance
of a threitt, I said that / thought the explanation
that the Governmentbed not authorized the seizure
would stand in the piace of an apology.
Vut tba tANltiltlcondition was, that Mr. Maser
and Mr. Slidell should be given up kr Lord Lyons.
Mr. Adams said that if the matter was stated to
Mr. Seward in the manner I had explained, he
hoped for en amicable termination of the difference ;
he thourit that if the Government of the United
States insisted ad maintaining the act of Capt.
Wilkes, the United States would be abandoning their
doetrine and adopting ours. Mr. Adams asked me a
further question, which he said I might decline to
answer; it was whether, if Lord Lyons came
away, a deelatation of war would be the immediate
consequence. I told him nothing was decided on
that point; we should wait for the reply from
America, and then decide upon our course. I
stated to Mr. Adams the substance of M. 'noires,-
nel's despatch to M. Mercier as I bad heard it from
M. de Elahault. Air. Adams said that the French
Gll9lfir9vm off had always log,ltoPy semi slew su
their maintenance of the rights of neutrals. He
added that he could not pan our Government the
same compliment. I said I would dispense with
conzpliments if this matter could be amicably
arranged.
We parted on very friendly terms. I am, &c.,

LORD LYONS TO EARL RUSSELL (RECEIVED JAN. 9).

Mr.
Bustle, from the British mail packet Trent.
The note contains a very long and very elaborate
dissertation on the questions of international law in
volved in the case. I have not time, before the de
parture of tbe messenger, to weigh the arguments
or to estimate precisely the force of the expressions
used: But as Mr. Seward admits that reparation is
due to Great Britain, and consents to deliver the
four prisoners to me, I consider that the demands
of her Majesty's Government are so fax substantially
complied with, that it is my duty, in obedience to
your lordship's commands, to report the facts to her
Majesty's Government for their consideration, and
to remain at my post until I receive further orders.
I have the honor to enclose a copy of the answer
which I have made to Dir. Seward's note. I have
confined myself to stating that I will forward a
copy of it to her Majesty's Government, and that I
will confer with Mr. Seward personally on the ar
rangements'to be made for A ' m delivery of the
prisoners to Tee. I have, &0., LYONS.
EARL RUSSELL TO LORD LYONS. '/
FOREIGN ORRICE, Jan. 11., 1802,
...,M:r7...ciRDS:lll my despatch to you of the 39t11. Of
&vernier, after inginfing you of the oiroumetances
Arch bad occurred in relation to the capture of
tins four persons taken from on board the Trent,
-Tested to 3fenthat it thus appeared that certain
individuals 'Pad been forcibly taken from on board
a British vessel—the ship of a neutral Power—
while such vessel was pursuing a lawful and inno
cent voyage--an net of violence whieto was an af
front to the British flag and a violation of interna
tional law. I concluded by directing you, in case
the- reparation which her Majesty's Government
expected to receive, should not be offered by Mr.
Seward, to propose to that Minister to make
such redress t in alone would satisfy the British
nation—namely, first, the liberation of the four
I gentlemen taken from on board the Trent, and
their delivery to your lordship, in order that they
might again be placed under British protection;
and, secondly, a suitable apology for the aggression
which had been committed.
I received yesterday your despatch of the 27th
ultimo, enclosisg a note to you from Mr. Seward,
whioh is in ctibitaboo-the answer to my despatch of
the 30th Noveriber.
Proceeding ai once to the main points in discus
sion between us, her Majesty's Government have
carefully examined how far Mr. Seward's note and
the conduct it ;announces, complies substantially
with the two priposals 1 have recited.
With regard to the first—viz i the liberation of
the prisoners will a view to their being again placed
under British piatection—l find that the note con
cludes by stating that the prisoners will be cheer
fully liberated, and by calling upon your lordship
to indicate a tine and place for receiving them.
No condition of any kind is coupled with. the
liberation of the prisoners.
With regard to the suitable apology which the
British Governnent had a right to expect, I find
that the Governnant of the United States distinctly
and unequivocally declares that.no directions had
been given to Captain Wilkes, or to any other naval
officer, to arresfithe four persons named, or any of
them, on the -Tr'ent or on any other British vessel,
or on anieti neutral vessel, at the place where
it occurred or sewhere.
I find,_ furthr, that the Secretary of State es
pressiy foam! to justify the particular act of
which her Majeity's Government complained. If
the United Statis -Government had alleged that al
though Captainrilkes had no previous instruction
for that purpose he was right in capturing the per
sona of the four prisoners, and in removing them
from the Trent on board his own vessel, to be after-
Wards carried into a port of the United States, the
Government which had thus sanctioned the pro
ceeding of captain Wilkes would have become re
sponsible for the original violence and insult of the
act. But Mr. Seward contents himself with stating
that what has happened has been simply an inad
vertency, eqnsisting in a departure by a naval °M
ear, free fruit any wrongful teeth's, from a rule un
certainly established, and probably by the several
parties conerned either imperfectly understood or
entirely unknown. The Secretary of State goes on
to affirm tht for this error the British Government
/
has a right o expect the same reparation which the
United Sta s, as an independent State, should ex
pect from Croat Britain, or from any ether friendly
nation in a tiredar case.
Her Majesty's Government having carefully
taken into their consideration the liberation of the
prisoners, the delivery of them into your hands,
and the eFplinations to which I have just referred,
have arrived at the conclusion that they tconsti-
Onto the reparation which her Majesty and the
British nation had a right to expect.
It gives ice Majesty's Government great satis
faction to ie enabled to arrive at a conclusion
favorable to the maintenance of most friendly
relations between the two auctions. I need not
discuss the modifications in my statement of facts
which Mr. Seward says he has derived from the
reports of effieers of his Government.
I cannot conclude, however, without adverting
shortly to the discussions which Mr. Seward has
raised upon points not prominently brought into
question in my despatch of the 30th of November..
I there objected; on the part of her Majesty's Go
vernment, to that which Captain Wilkes had done.
Mr. Seward, in his answer, points out what he con
ceives Captain Wilkes might have done without
violating the law of nations.
It is notlneoessary that I should here discuss in
detail the live questions ably argued by the Secre
tary of State, but it is necessary that I should say
that her Majesty's Government differs from Mr.
Seward in some of the conclusions at which he
has arrived. And it may lead to a bettor under
standing between the two nations on several points
of inteillgonal law which may, during the present
contest, or at some future time, be brought into
question, that I should state to you, for communi
cation to tie Secretary of State, wherein those dif
ferences odssisti I hope to do so in a few days.
In the Meantime, it will be desirable that the
oommandn's of-the United States cruisers should be
instructednot to repeat acts for which the British
Governmeht 37111 have to ask for redress , and which
the UnitedStatie Government cannot undertake to
justify.
You will read and give a copy of this despatch to
the Secretary of State. I RUSSELL.

EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER FROM EARL RUS
SELL TO I.ORD LYONS, DEC. 1, 1861.
The despatches which were agreed to at the Ca
binet yesterday, and which I have signed this
morning, imposempon you a disagreeable task. My
wish would be that, at your first interview with
Mr. SeWaid, you should not take suy despatch with
you, but should prepare him for it, and ask him to
settle with the President and the Cabinet what
coarse they would propose.
The next time you should bring my despatoh,
and read it to him in full.
If he asks what will be the consequence of his
refusing compliance, I think you should say that
you wish to leave him, and the President quite free
to take their own 'course, and that you desire to ab
stain from anything like menace.
Privateeribg—The Sumpter.
[From the London Shipping Gazette, January 10.]

men captured and destroyed at sea, haa naturally

mercial circles. The telegraph was immediately put
in requisition to ascertain the names and destina
tions of the vessels alleged to he captured, and any
further information bearing upon the occurrence.
We learn that the three - 105610 dektreyed by the
Sumpter were the ship Vigilant, the bark Eben
.Dodge, and the schooner Arcade. As regards the
two latter vessels nothing is known. The Vigilant
is believed to have been on her voyage from Som
brero, in the West Indies, for London, with a cargo
of guano, shipped by American agents, and con
signed to a London house, who, we learn, have in
sured their interest hero The Spanish authorities
appeared at first undecided how to act ; but upon
consideration they have determined not to interfere
with the Sumpter or her movements, provided the
prisoners are placed under the protection of Spain.
This, we doubt not, the commander of the Sumpter
has agreed to, Of course, the Federal consul at
Cadiz protested against the &Zimmer being allowed
to enter the harbor of Cadiz, but his protest appears
to have been disregarded, and, if we are rightly
informed, he has hauled down his flag and is about
to leave Cadiz. The Spanish Government, how
9TOTS bee/ in no respect violated the neutrality of
Spain in the course they have pursued or sanc
tioned in this matter. Spain is no party to the
Declaration of Paris of 1856. She has entered
into no international arrangement for the abolition
of privateering in her own ease, theugh abe has,
from time to time, forbidden her subjects from
taking letters of marque from foreign Powers, or
from aiding or assisting the privateers of a foreign
State in the work of spoliation or capture, or from
succoring such vessels, on the high seas, s exce- - -st
in the as cause of humanity, in the case ef lice
or shipwreck." Orders, to this elicit were issued'
by the Spanish Government, in 1654, on tho out
break of the Russian war. It may be that such
orders were rendered expedient, in the opinion of
the Cabinet of Madrid, by a recollection of the
Eason which Spain had been taught on the subject
of privateering by the Cabinet of Washington,
during the Mexican war of 1840. At that time,
certain Spanish adventurers had thought the
opportunity a good one for preying upon American
commerce. The American President, in his mes
sage to Congress in 1846, pointed to the treaty with
Spain of 1795, and recommended that all Spanish
subjects found acting in contravention thereof, by
privateering against the United States, should be
treated as pirates—a threat which the American
Government, as well as the American Congress,
showed every disposition to carry out. The Cabi
net of Washington at that time carried matters
with a high hand. It may now be the turn of the
Cabinet of Madrid. There is, however, a wide
difference, as the Spanish Government are no doubt
aware, between permitting Spanish subjects to join
privateers against a neutral State, to harass its
commerce, and opening the Spanish ports tospri
vateers who bring no prizes with them. This
is done in the exercise of a right which every
neutral State
. possesses. It has been occasionally
abandoned, as in the case of - Austria in the Russian
war, when she forbade absolutely the entrance of
foreign privateers into the Austrian ports. But the
example of Austria, at that time, influenced as she
was by her position with respect to Russia, cannot
be cited as a precedent to any maritime State for
the surrender of an acknowledged neutral right.
HoWeVei, the admission of the Sumpter into dadia
is, so far as it goes, a direct acknowledgment by
Spain of the South as a belligerent State. It may
be more than this. There is considerable doubt
whether the Sumpter should be regarded as a pri
vateer. Her commander holds a commission from
the Confederate Government, and it is stated his
ship has bean regularly commissioned as a Confede
rate war ship. If this be so, and that the Spanish
authorities are aware of the fact, the Sumpter has
been admitted into Cadiz harbor on the footing of
a Confederate cruiser, in the same way as a Fede
ral war ship—the Iroquois for example—would
have been admitted to the hospitalities of that port.
Reception of the Rebel Commissioners,
[From the London News, Jan, 14S
The impudence of sending commissioners to US
at all is remarkable; and the audacity of appoint
ing Mr. Mason is really astoundiny. It was bad
enough sending Mr. Yancey, sieer the publication
of what he said and wrote in the conventions of the
slave States ; it was = strong demand
w ra h li o ty ba a d r.ndcboluicrie; eulogized slavery as the propersy to send here as envoy a man
b e d s or society, and demanded the reopening of
tile African slave trade ; and Mr. Yancey's doubt
ful reception at a public dinner where his presence
was by no means desired, might show the Confede
rate authorities that it would be well not to en
croach too far on the instincts of our hospitality. But
to send Mr. Mason is a yet more daring proceeding.
They must have supposed that we either did or did
not know that Mr. Mason is the author of the worst
law that is on the statute book of any civil
ized nation—the fugitive slave law. If we did not
know it, it was taking advantage of our ignorance
to Seek our friendship and good offices through
such an agent; and, if we did know it, it was an
insult to English feelings to place that man, face to
race. with tiS -at all. The !swat eensequereoe to

think it low to work, or to pay others for working
for them. They think that political freedom means
a very few . persons doing what they please with all
the rest Of society. They think it is a low state of
civilization when members of society enjoy, as
nearly as may be, the benefits • they earn by
intelligence or toil; and they extol, as the highest
refinement, the scheme by which the smallest
number take possession of the largest share of
the earnings of others. Old England and New
England are alike in a vulgar and pitiable condi
tion, because every man is theoretically a worker,
or the payer of other men's work, and because
everyindividual has an interest in the common
weal ; yet. the superfine gentry who so regard Old
and New England are trying to gain over the one
against the other by soft words and sordid induce
ments, and these men are the agents sent to
rouse our minds against our free kindred of
the Northern States, and to soothe our selfish
fears about cotton. Let them pass on one side.
We have simply nothing to say to them. Let them
pass on their way in the perfect aafety of perfect
neglect.
The Morning Herald comes to the rescue of
Slidell and Mason, and denounces the journals
which have calumniated them. It says they are
gentlemen of the highest position and the most un
blemished character, and as to their being slave
owners, why, Washington himself was one, and
some of England's bust friends are slaveholders. It
claims that "Mason and Slidell are entitled to be
received in England with courtesy and honor, as
men of the highest distinction themselves, and as
the representatives of a gallant, chivalrous, and
friendly nation."
The Late War Panic and the Press.
[From the London Star.]
The people and press of the United States deserve
the highest credit for their demeanor during this
trying crisis. With the exception of one journal,
which really may be taken as an exception when
praise of any kind is spoken, the newspapers of the
- United States evinced thronghont tis' di,qpn.ce a
calmness and s moderation as honorahle to them
asrebating to some of their British cotemporaries.
Only those who were compelled by duty to watch and
study the tone of the American journals during the
late period can form any true idea of the manner in
which it contrasted with the temper - and the lan
guage of two, at least, of the principal London
newspapers. Any Englishman who desires to learn
what extent of brutal bullying may be tolerated
and encouraged in a moment of national passion,
can do nothing better than to read over, in a calm
moment, the leading columns of the Times and the
Morning Post for the past three or four weeks.
We think with shame, as English journalists, of
the manner in which, day after day, these two
English newspapers have been slandermg, taunt
ing,Tinsultin the Government and the people of
the United States. No language more foul and
bitter could have been employed by either jour
nal if the very name of American had been the
acknowledged synonym of all that is false, base,
and cowardly. People talk here of the New York
Herald in terms of just contempt and detestation.
When has the New Yorld Herald written anything
so coarse, so slanderous , so vulgar, so false, as the
Times and Morning Post have written of the
American Government and people, day after day,
during the recent crisis, with a systematic infamy
of language and baseness of purpose? Had all
this been done to intimidate the Federal Govern
ment, to force it into yielding to our demand, it
would have been sufficiently mean and coward.
ly, but not, perhaps, wholly inexcusable. It
might have seemed a sort of brutal extra
vagance of zeal on behalf of our national in
terest. But it had not this excuse. It was not
done to induce the Americans to concede. It was
done with the deliberate purpose of goading on the
proud and sensitive people of the Northern States
into some passionate defiance of England, in order
that England, being the stronger, might crush and
trample her free offspring. All that the Times and
Morning Post could do by taunts, by jeers, by
vulgar insult of every kind, was exhausted in the
effort to provoke the North into a vehement re
fusal. It was the hope and the effort of thesejour
nals that, at the very least, the British Government
might be forced into a collision with the people of
the United States, and the principle of Democracy be
thus endangered. But it was their dearer hope still
that the Federal Government might be stung into
resistance, in order that England should plunge
furiouslyinto a war—that England, the country
which first strove to abolish slavery, should now
win a victory for slavery with her own blood—that
England, which bomb of her own free and popular
Government, should crush the only great and free
democracy existing on the earth. If the Federal
Government had seen into the very heart of the
plot against its own existence, it could not have
more completely frustrated and defeated it, than
by the manly, calm, and dignified course it has
so bravely adopted.
The Ttieciarorts and the Nashviiie.
These two vessels continued at Southampton, and
were objects of great interest. It is stated that,
with a view to prevent any trial of strength be
tween the Tuscarora and the Nashville, the Ad
miralty has ordered the Dauntless, thirty-one guns,
to keep a sharp look-out, and prevent any collision
in British waters. The Dauntless was accordingly
on the alert in Soutlatrapten river, and ready to act
in case of emergency.
It is stated upon authority that the commanders of
the Nashville and Tuscarora had forwarded writ-
ten pledges to the Admiralty that no collision shall
take place between them in the Southampton wa
ters; and, moreover, if either of them should put
to sea the other will not follow within twentyfour
hours. On the Igth the TecBcerrora put to sea, but
did not go beyond Cablot Light, and, after re
maining there all day, apparently guarding the
east and west passases, she returned to her an
chorage. She was visited prior to her cruise by the
Secretary of the United States Legation from Lon
don.
The latest Southampton telegram says : " The
Nashville as now nearly ready for sea, but there is
some difficulty in tilling up. her crew. Her Ma

we took occasion to Contradict it, on the authority

Kanekel called on La to say that our information
was entirely erroneous, and that Capt. Williams'

sented at the young lady while refusing let an

one pass into the cabin where her father was. This
was not done by Lieut. Fairfaies orders ; but when
he proceeded to separate the daughter from the
father, she put her hand twice on his face to keep
him back, but did not slap him on the face. Mr.
Kanckel adds that Mr. Peabody, uninvited, called

AMERICAN AGENTS IN TIPPERARY —A Corre
spondent of the Saze9ulers' News sends the follow
ing curious communication : At an early hour on
Monday morning the inhabitants of Nenagh were
attracted by the appearance of a large American
flag floating from the round tower in the centre of
the town. It bad the stars and stripes on one side,
and the sunburst, harp, and shamrock on the other.
It was well executed, and evidently came from
America for the occasion. Moreover, the police
bad word that several such rebellions flags were
hoisted through Tipperary and the adjunct coun
ties. It being a holiday and fair day in Nenagh,
the crowds who witnessed this flag were large. The
ewavarlee of rebellion must have expected war as
the result of the news in Tipperary. The police
took possession of the flag, and had it carefully
sent to the authorities of Dublin Castle, who should
look sharp after this district in the event of a war
with any country."
RIFLES FR AMER/CA.—When the Queen's prow
definition prohibiting the export of munitions of
war was issued, the American agents, who had
been exceedingly busy in the market, were, of
course, very much disconcerted. Various schemes
were tried for evading the law, but in the face of
the proclamation, and the regulations adopted for
enforcing it, it was found impossible to execute the
large orders for arms, and some of the makers an.
plied to the Government, representing the hardship
of their case, and asking if they would take a por
tion of the weapons off their bands. At reply,
specimens were waked for, and these having Ziaeri
supplied were sent to Colonel Dickson, superin
tendent of the small-arms factory at Enfield, with
instructions to report upon them. We are informed
that upon egataigatiq and trial they were found to
be of most inferior make, and thatinany or the sot
called rifles" were merely grooved a few inches
from the muzzle.---.llTorntng - Posr;
A PROSPECTUS hasjust been issued of a new tuft
dertakingt to be called " The London and South of
Ireland Direct Telegraph Company ;" the object of
which ie to bring the South of Ireland into more
direct communication with London, by means of an
unbroken line from the latter place via St: David's
Head, Pembrokeshire, across St. George's Channel
to Wexford, and thence by Waterford, de., to Cork
and Queenstown, a distance of 454 miles, whilst the
existing route is 739 miles. Already the coralany
have obtained the exclusive privilege of establish
ing a station at Roche's Point, the plane where the
pilots board the steamers at the mouth of Cork har
bor, and which is also largely used as a port of call
by the vessels engaged in the Mediterranean, Aus
tralian, and other trades. The company , have
likewise arranged to connect by special submarine
wires the Tuskar Rock Lighthouse, off Carnsmore
Point, and the North and South Bishop Light
house, of St. David's Head, with the coast
upon either side. These lighthouses sight each
other, and alt vessels passing up and down the chan
nel will be immediately reported to the various
shipping ports of Great Britain and Ireland. The
lighthouses will thus be in direct communication
with the Lifeboat station at Carus. Semaphore
signals will also be established at the Old Head of
Kinsale, by which means vessels will ba quad
and communicated with some hours before arrival
at Queenstown. It is proposed that the capital of
the company shall be £lOO,OOO, to be raised in
shares of £lO each, with a deposit of £2 per share
—los. on application, and 308. on allotment.
Already a considerable part of the capital has been
subscribed, and a contract has been entered into
with Messrs. W. 5. Silver rt Co. for the manufac
ture of the cable. The whole line, it is announced,
will be ready for use early in the spring, and its
maintenance guaranteed for a term of years.
THE CLYDE.—By dint of dredging, cutting, ex

THE TtiNNEL THROUGH MOUNT CENTS.—New
machines for cutting the great tunnel through the

The length of the tunnel now cut is 1,680 metres,
of which 730 are on the French side, and 950 on
the Italian side, The road over Mount Cenis is
still clear of snow, and the diligences continue to
run regularly from Suza to Lanslebourg, as in the
fine season ; whereas for many years put the road
has been practicable for sledges only from the be

Rtitsita's New Sebutriopol.
Russia has been discovered in a little operation,
as curious as it is important. In the Straits of
Corea are two little islands, called North and South
Tsu-sima, belonging to the Japanese Archipelago,
and subject from time immemorial to the Empire of
Japan. They are separated from each other by a
sound, enclosing a capacious bay, with exeellentsfs
chorage, and snugly sheltered from every possible
wind. Though small, these islands are densely popu
lated, to the amount, it is said, of more than 30,000,
and the inhabitants are a civilized, peaceable, and
industrious race, producing most beautiful manu
factures, in which they carry on an ostensive and
lucrative traffic with Yeddo, where these articles
are held in great estimation. The soil is fruitful
aka well cuitivated i the elidite deliciously mild
end remarkably healthy. This favored spot is
governed by a Japanese Daimio, who resides at the
town and port of Fetcha, and, though appointed
by the Government, and paying allegiance to the
Tykoon, he is placed in a very independent posi
tion, from the great distance to the capital.
Whilst Admiral Sir James Rope wee lately
taking a cruise in her Majesty's aliip Kingdom,
having heard favorable accounts of the natural
advantages and ca abilities of the islands, and
their sheltered harbor, he determined to look in
there, and did so; but it was with the greatest
wonder and astonishment that, on doubling the
cape that shuts out the sea from view, he found
there three Russian frigates at anehor, who seemed
to have Made themselves quite as much at home in
the island as if they wereat Cronstadt. Bustle and
activity prevailed everywhere on shore boats were
drawn up on the beach and undergoing repairs,
stores were being landed and warehoused, sailors
were exercising with small arms, and, to crown all,
the imperial flag of Russia was floating from the
summit of the buildings, which was separated from
the native town and surrounded by strong defensive
works.
On inauiry he found that the Russians had asked
permission of the Daimio to repair their boats on
shore and build a house for the better accommoda
tion of their sick people, whioh had been readily
ranted; but it appears that the repairs of their
boats were never finished, and their invalids never
got well, though looking remarkably healthy; and
the ono building originally intended for the hospi
tal bad gradually increased to several, which were
well fortified, and whose occupants, even when the
frigates were out cruising, were strong and nu
merous enough to overawe the native Inhabitants,
and keep them in cheek. The Russians acknow•
ledged all this, but added that they had orders
from their admiral, who was gone to Japan, to re
main in that harbor till his return, though they
were unable to say when ) or if ever, this
