The Foreign Policy of toe Administrae lion anti the Southern Treason. The election of Anus - war LINCOLN to the Presidency, however much deplored by those who contended against a so-called geographi cal or sectional party, is unquestionably work. ing out some wholesome results. Treason had — wwmg-ro tuebetroe see- erememieticalsYstem, carried on for long years in order to accom plish the overthrow of the Government, that it required some such drastic remedy as the election of a man like Mr. Lrecorer, upon his peculiar platform, to reveal the dangere, pre. seat and prospective, which surround the American people. We shall now be competent to discriminate between the friends and the foes of Republi can institutions—to vindicate the idea of a strong Government—to exterminate the whole theory of Secession, and, In any event, to res cue from the struggle, if not the whole empire, supposed, a few months ago, to belong to the United States, at least such a country as the world has never seen—governed by equal laws, proteoted by a vigorous Constitutiou, and dedicated to a destiny in regard to which thieves can be net future misunderstanding. When Mr. Luca= was elected to the Pre. mildewy, apart from other results soon to hap pen, the reformation and reorganization of oar foreign policy was probably as important as any of the rest. The Disunionista had taken good care, under all Administrations, to send their sympathizers as ministers to foreign courts, and they were unusually successful under the two last—those of FILAMME PIERCE and Jeans Btronamess—Jereeasoe Davis being the master spirit of the one, and Joint Su pers the unscrupulous manager of the other. Southern statesmen, filled with their own ideas of Southern superiority, and intoxicated with the wild dream of erecting an independent daspotlam based upon 'sheerer alone, occupied some of the leading missions in the Old World ; and even where Northern men were sent as our diplomatic agents, they were, in every case, Democrats who cordially agreed with the Southern school. Jeires Bemuses, as minister to England under FRANKLIN Fiume, and GEORGE X. DALLAS, WANES lieemasan'a successor at the same Court, were both of this stamp. (Yet we are most happy to believe that Mr_ Ilizeia returns at the eleventh hoer— like Mr. BIICHANAN himser in his last houre— to regret that he ever trusted to the dangerous lead of each men as asznorre Mason, Davis, and Hume.) The fact that the South had irretrievably lost its power in the public councils became so painfully apparent to the Disunion leaders that they would have been compelled, even without the excuse of Mr. Luecoess's election, to • make a demonstration so as to restore themselves in possession of the Federal Go vernment. It they had cheated Mr. Essex- nixtbee into the Preeidency, ste they hoped , to do, they would have accomplished that feat ; for there would have been no resistance on the part of the free States to Jon, C. /Macanese:Doe, even 11 put into the Chief Magistracy by the purchase of certain elec toral votes; and the Southern statesmen, taking advantage of the known fidelity of the people of the North and Northwest, would have wielded an Administration thus chosen so .at to NON thetuaelves in power for another decade of years. Netbing would have been more fortunate for them, and more unfortunate for the country, than the aid they would have obtained from foreign Powers through the instrumentality of our various ministers at the European courts, long educated to Bitch a future. When Mr. Miaow appointed Wm. H. Be wails) chief of the State Department, he un doubtedly overlooked the complaints of small politician!, and considered only the peculiar capacities of that eminent statesman. And well has Er. SEWARD justified the contidence and ai...-2...auation of the ri.esiaeht. We Aro now beginning to realize the first fruits of his sagacity. Hardly bad he taken possession of the Department of State before he adopted precautionary measures to anticipate the plane of the Disrmionista at foreign courts. Instruc tions prepared by himself were forwarded by a highly distinguished and faithful Ameri can, one of the earliest diplomatic appoint ments of the President, to all the ministers holding over from the last Administration, in which they were directed to protest against the recognition of the Southern Confederacy in the strongest terms, and to admonish the Governments to which they were accredited, that any such recognition would be instantly resented. It will be remembered that Mr. SEWARD was loudly complained of, because be steadily ig nored the professions of mere party applicants for foreign mission's, and insisted in every case, with some exceptions, that the best ta lent, the largest experience, and the most tried patriotism should bo demanded, to the exclusion of all other considerations. To this policy are we indebted for the selection of such Ines as (Mania* FneeMis Alamo at London, errs vein L. Delve: at Paris, Genius M. Czar at St. Petersburg, Hemay SsYvoan at Berlin, and Gramm F. HARSH at Sardinia. The letter of Games M. Greer to the London Times, so masterly, convincing, and cou rageous, is but following out the line so dis tinctly marked by Mr. SEWARD himself; and the effect it evidently produced upon the Eng lish mind will continue to increase, when other equally able to deal with the great question, and fully anthOrized to speak; shill appear before the bar of European public opinion. When Lama Seen pretested, in tits Cele , bralted pamphlet, against the quintuple treaty, although he at first startled the dignities of the great Powers, he fins* conquered their prejudices, and made himself the idol of the Mend people of two hemispheres. Mr. Szeraen has established a new foreign policy, a truly enlightened American policy. Instead of adhering to the old diplomatic tontine et red tope, and the pernicious precedent of circumlocution, he has di rected the representatives of the Ameri can Government to go before the bar of the World, in order to unmask the tra i tor , against the American flag, to show the hollow insincerity of every minister who attempts to tolerate them, and to lay down, in strong and explicit language, the only terms upon which the American Executive will ever hold inter course with other Governments—that is, a distinct repudiation 01 the whisk Southern Cm , federacy, and an equally distinct recognition of Me integrity, the power, and influence of the National Governmeei. Lieutenant siemmer. it was eminently proper that our Columns 1110101 tender the hospitalities of the city to Lieutenant gramma, the gallant commander of Fort Pickens.

We are daily asked for information in rela tion to the measures which have been taken for the payment of our volunteers. The ques tion is a very natural and important one, for money is as necessary to men in the bivouac as it is to men in the utarliet-pl a ce and eaunt jug-house. The Government is supposed to secure to the soldier his food and clothing, bat it is not in the nature of civilization for us to be content with only what we eat and wear. There are a hundred little necessities and deli cacies which go to make life pleasant, and re lieve the pain or tedium of the hour, which are not to be found in the quartermaster's or commissariat departments. There are those at home who depend on the small pittance of the soldier for the means of life ; and there are very many of a frugal and thrifty habit, who look forward to the savings from their pay for the wherewithal to enter the world when the wars are over. its When the people of the North threw down the hammer and the hoe, and rushed to the aid of the capital, there was no sentiment of gain in the action. The early days of the cam paign were rendered pleasant by the expendi ture of the little sums the soldiers bad accu mulated, or which had been pressed upon them by loving hands in the moment of depar ture. While they remained in camp in the vicinity of Washington, Baltimore, and other distant points, kind friends at home burdened every express train with the luxuries of life, and many a camp-fire and tent was made happy by this thoughtfulness, for those who were friendleae elsewhere found a friend lathe cum paniono of the regiment. Mang companies like those of the New York Seventh Regiment lived ft eemvginnwtall.psstry, with good wine un _ . . trinuthe face and bead, and affable servant. men to anticipate their wants. But every re giment was not so well favored, by either for= tone or friendship, and their inemhere have been compelled to accept the trials and dis comforts of the campaigner's life. The calling of these soldiers into the field wan an extraordinary act. They poured Into Washington imperfectly equipped, with a scanty commissariat, and, in many cases, car rying arms miserably made, and hardly fit for service on a morning drill or a dress parade. The Government had. scarcely anything to offer them but a friendly welcome and magni ficent quarters; in the Senate chamber ; and, although it has been using every exertion, the accommodation,9 for the soldiers are far from being eomplete. We know bow apt men are to cavil and find fault--we know how trying a change from luxury to privation must be to the temper and constitution.-we are disposed to consider every possible motive which can actuate mdft situated as our troops are, but yet we do think that many of these regiments at Washington and elsewhere are In an tuntol dierly and uncomfortable condition, and. that they are enduring privations, in the sight of inzury and civilisation, which would drive a French or English army into mutiny or breach of discipline. With a patient fortitude, which will only be appreciated when the incidents of this con- test are convoluted, and its results recorded by the impartial pen of history, these soldiers 'have submitted to their lot almost without a murmur. They felt that the Government was in an hour of trial, and the necessities of the hour they =Jared. Some of thew <wile may be the work of avaricious and unprinci pled contractors, but many of them were of a nature which could only be remedied by weeks of preparation. Our advices from Washington induce us to believe that they will, speedily cease to exist, and to this end all the energies of the Government are being devoted. caffein lulating to the payment of the volun teers. Some are from soldiers in camp, and others from their friends at home. They all represent an urgent necessity existing among the troops, and a few of them, we are sorry to add, tell us that money-lenders and specula tors are endeavoring to buy up the right to re ceive pay, at an exorbitant rate of usury. We mention this thing to put the officers on their guard, as we have confidence that they will not tolerate =tithing which reueralou errlu- Wing and Injustice: What measures the G o . vernment are taking to pay the soldiers we do not know, but ample provision will be ulti mately made. In the meantime, why cannot the States, cities or counties, who have fur nished men to relieve the Government, minis ter to the temporary waste of the military? The distribution of a month's pay to the men at this time would remove much distress, and greatly add to the efficiency of the army. It would be only a loan as far as the States, cities, or counties are concerned, for the Govern ment will reimburse them at an early day. Philadelphia has ten thousand men under arms. Why cannot she advance, for a short period, to every one of them a month's pay If some of the counties cannot conveniently thus pay the volunteers they furnish, let the State do it out of the three-million loan. This course 1e suggested to us by many valued cor respondents. It strikes us as being practical and just, and we commend it to the attention of the municipal and State authorities. A good deal of unnecessary fear has been excited by the report that the forces of the United States were not properly supplied with small-arms. This rumor grew out of false statements very industriortsly eirculatoa by the traitors south of Mason & Dixon's line. Not content with having stolen all they could lay hands on, these 4, patriots, partly pur chased, partly pressed," sought to heighten their importance by starting a report that would at once weaken the confidence of the soldiers on our aide, and strengthen the hopee of their own troops. A little _calm reflection on the actual condition of our men, with a knowledge of the enormous supplies new daily growing smaller under the judicious distribu tion of the proper authorities, ought to reas sure ne on this point. But another source of mischief exists in the minds of =military verger's and inexperienced volunteers, who honestly believe that, without the very latest and moat improved pattern of muskets, they will incur special dangers. Any good ord nance officer will tell them that, for the use of soldiers in the field, percussion muskets are, by far the best, while for the business of instruction, the old-fashioned, strong, simple musket, le the only oiN that can be used with safety to the recruit and advantage to the ser vice. A body of newly-mustered men would, of necessity, be unable to handle carefully a line rifled or Millie musket; and long before they would need them in hard service, the gun would in all probability be greatly injured or utterly ruined by igeoraet handling. Doan in the regular service, where skilful officers are constantly supervising every movement of their men, nco regiment will be tetn:nt tally supplied with rifled muskets. The molt ad• via' able method is to pick out of each com pany ten or a dozen of the best soldiers, and entrust to each of them a Wide musket; then, 1 in case of necessity, by massing them toge. they, a full and effective company would be at hand. Their services would he needed only as sharp-shooters, or for other long.range duty, because it is scarcely possible that many regiments of infantry will stand oil at five or six hundred yards distance from each other in line of battle, coolly take their aim with nicely-adjusted sight, and have leisure for quietly going through the delicate manipula tion of loading a neat Minie cartridge, with no uncomfortable interruption from the enemy. if we could get the opinion of the Ei old tors themselves, or of men who are well versed in the use of arms, whether as a business or as a pleasure, it is almost certain that it would be favorable to the use of a good, percussion musket, with buck and ball, for the great body of our infantry. The chances of effective shooting are greater at the ordinary , fighting distance, for the man who can quickly load and fire, with the comfortable satisfaction of a geed ball cartridge and half a dozen buck-shot to be distributed among his antagonists, and a welt-balanced bayonet to follow them np in case of obstinate resistance to the first polite intimation to withdraw. The mat sort of advantage which a go o d old Saxon word has over some new-fangied rrenen phrase is gained by the soldier who has a well-tested percussiOn mnaket and bayo net, to use against men handling a delicate MIME musket, with its ill-balanced sword bayonet and its niceties of balls, rammer, and what not. Nothing but the inexperience of our volunteers has led them to depreciate the arms put in their hands by;the Government, and, unfortunately, some of their officers, even to a very high grade, instead of persuade ing and convincing them of their militate, We have before na a number of comma" Small.. Arms and How to Use Them. gave way to their importunity for the latest imp • rovement, and thus spread an ill-founded rumor of want of arms. The same ease that marks the supplies so readily lamed here, both of old and new arms, ought to convince us that the traitors aro very much mistaken in believing that their patron saints, FLOYD and Om, really did the North and the Govern ment that terrible amount of irremediable mischief which we were readyat first to attri.. buts to them. The necessity of supplying ourselves with armies, to be trained and equipped for service when the Government wants new levion, ought to make us thought ihl before we give currency to reports that may discourage our Home Gnard and other recruits, and thus lessen their zeal. The percussion muskets that are now gene rally distributed are, for the most part, of the best patterns, and many of those that have been altered from filet-locks are nearly, if not quite, equal to any other arms of the kind now in use. The muskets in the South are mainly of the oldest and poorest description, and their loss to us is no very great gain to them. Too much currency has been given to reports that large numbers of Millie muskets were sold from the arsenals to the South in stead and at the price of rejected arms, which were used to fill the places of the improved guns. The absurdity of supposing that an operation which would he known at the least to a score of persons, could quietly go on without opposition is equalled only by the folly, of repeating such tales without know ing their truth or falsity, and with no sense of the harm that may be caused. A great many of the arms distributed among the volunteers have been shamefully abused, and especially by the men who have liklu 6121 olitM i l l i ttd e rlVlttarteta t i worth or value. Almost every man and boy here can use a musket well enough for shoot ing, but the long and careful training that is necessary to make a man care for his piece when even his own comforts are neglected, is just as much the business of the volunteer as it is of every regular soldier. In, our local military arrangements, the sooner arms are placed in the hands of our Home Guards, and other reserves, the sooner they will learn how to use them, and how to fit themselves tor actual duty, both in the ordinary service, where the percussion mus ket suffices, and in ormolu,' service, where the Mune musket may be entrusted to them, and effectually used. They should, therefore, be supplied as speedily as possible. Ice--Pludadelphia vs. London. In the summer of 1843, an enterprising Dewn-Emiter imported a few 'ship loads of ice into London, which was supplied, during the whole of that season, at four cents a pound retail, or ten shillings for the cwt. of 112 lbs. Up to , that time, ice was a luxury excluaively enjoyed by the rich in London. From 1843, London has been very well supplied with lee; and not only London, but Liverpool, Man. cheater, Birmingham, Sheffield, and other large towns. There is rarely any thing like a eaffigient quantity of Leuze-produced ice there, and what there is, cannot be admired for its quality. The whole supply comes from Ame rica, Greenland, Iceland, and Norway. The price which was four cents per lb., in 1843, has been brought down, by competition and large supply, to One cent per pound, delivered in small quantities forhousehold consumption. In Philadelphia, last year, the price for 56 pounds of ice, (8 pounds per diem, regularly delivered,) was 40 cents. This rate prevailed when we had to send large quantities of ice down South,—a demand which has ceased, the South now being supplied, it is said, from Nova Scotia. The question between the patient public and the ice-dealers simply is—why should 55 Genie a week (for 56 lbs.) be charged now, whereas it was only 40 cents last year? This rate makes ice in Philadelphia exactly as dear as American ice le in London, nearly three thousand miles distant. While, since 1848, the price of American ice has been diminish ing in England, it has been increasing in Phi. ladeiphia. Last winter, it may be reniembered, was very severe. There was abundance of ice about the middle of December, and, daring ice, one would think, to, supply Philadelp ?ua twice over. The ice.dealers, who have a snug monopoly, and act in concert, say that they now supply Eastern * ice, and account thus for the immense increase in price. If ordinary diligence had been used during the winter, when Philadelphia ice was plenty, and as good as ever was congealed in Boston, the dealers need net be saddling their consumers with an advance of fifteen cents upon every forty, as they do now,—an advance out of all reason. We suppose that the public must bear it,—but we predict that the trade will be opened next year, and prices brought down to a resonable rate, by fair enterprise and competition.

WASHINGTON CORHESPONDENCE.I Letter from '"Occasional, (Correarpondemoe of Too :Tirosol Woomera". June E,1861 In my letter of yesterday I referred to the man ner in which the leadeie of the Southern eonspi r.aey treated the parsons who foil tinder their um, pinion or displeasure : and you have doubtless by this time received the details of the hanging of an American citizen, Mr. Williams, by order of the traitor, Senora Johnston, who in in command of the traitor troops .now quartered at Harpers Ferry. The charge against Williams was that of being a spy ; without having an oppOrtunity to write to his friends, or any other 441 but that of a drum-head court-martial, he wffushered into eternity. The toleration of the Government in regard to those who fall into its hand', and known to be the enemies of the Government, contrasts eignifioaatly with the savage 'and inhuman barbarities of the traitors. Had not forhearariea on our part entirely (mailed to be a virtue? Is it not time that we should make our mark upon the next one of these malignant' that may happen to be captured? Ido not advise unneeeesary bloodshed, but I demand that the men who commenced this war upon olvilization and freedom, by raising the ban ner of slavery and repudiation, should be admonished by some signal example. Look at Baltimore, where known traitors parade the etreets, and boast [bat they cannot he held by the Federal Government, and defy it to take them.

The telegraphic coup d'etat, under the auspies Of the War Department, by which a vast mato of secret Intelligence, exposing the designs of tie Disunionists and their sympathizers, has bean male public, will end in some strange revelations. NearY eight weskit ago a high respectable gentleman al. prised the Administration, upon authority he con, not reveal, that one of the most prominent al pointed of the President had been in telegraphic communication with the traitors at Charlaresi He gave the name of the appointee, and yet, froia motives highly honorable, the Senate was permit tal to act upon the nomination of the President, and confirmed it.

Sappily, ha has gone to a court at whioh he an do no mischief; and when he returns, will donit less take care to avoid the generous Goverunint that ha betrayal while eagerly asking and steadi ly taking its favors. 1 News has been received that the Austrian Government will, in all probability, refuse tosto- °opt lionorable ADAM V. Burlingame, of Maass. ohnsetbi, as the American representative at dud Court. This, according to international law, *ay have a right to do, Any Government may deans receiving a foreign minister, whose antsoadenti or opinions make him disagreeable, without creating any carats bell. But has Austria acted wisely in this? Garibaldi is the idol of ukkba Italy, and the cause of Italy, under his auspices, is the cane of civilization and freedom everywhere. Mr. Burlingame's °gentle in the eyes of Austria was his earnest short, as a ropreecotative in Cosign/as, in raising the Sardirdan cleargi d'offizzres here to a full miniater, and thereby to recognize the revo- lution and the existence of Italy as a homogeneous principal nation among the groat Powers of the world. And for this he is punished. I noticed the other day a paragraph to the effect that Gari baldi felt no interest in oar American troubles. In reply to this ft might be stated that the splen did Italian regiment now quartered near Wash ington oarries the Italian flag presented to the colonel of the reginieut by the daughter of Ayes rani, Lis (mitigaton in arme-:the same flag which Garibaldi with his own had raised in Rem*, When, in 1848, he was besieged by the Freneh. But, if It were necessary for Austria still farther to in• suit the great deliverer of Italy in order , to spur him more devoted friend of the United7States;the rejection a Mr. parliesjame b 7 Preteeis Joseph would accomplish that result. I will. not be as tonished if, following the example of "the Bour bons " of Austria, the Bourbons of Spain should refuse to receive Oar/ &hors, Thus adding a new element to fire up the good cause in the United States, and a new element to divide the people of the Old World. .As to Russia and the new American minister, Cassius M. Clay, Russia will issue no mandate against him, because he has pleaded for his coun try against the Este& aristeerasy. She will re ceive him with open arms, honor him for his courage, and assure him, as she has always assured the representatives of the United States, of her admiration for the great Waste rn Republic.
