tection when they transferred themselves to a
British deck.
The action of the American commodore, then,
constitutes the most offensive- outrage which Bro
ther Jonathon ho* (fared to perpetrate upon the
British fog. If Messrs. Mason and Slidell may
be seized on board of a British steamer, and carried
off prisoners, they might with equal propriety have
been seized during their stay in Bermuda. In re
gard to the British flag, the Yankee commodore
has no right at sen which he does not possess on
land; and the fact thathedid not make any at
tempt to effect an arrest in Bermuda is equivalent
to a confession that he had no lawful authority in
the premises. Avowedly, he waited until Messrs.
Mason and Slidell had sailed, and then, sustained
by an overpowering naval force, he exacted their
f urrender under protest. As the case stands, there
is not a feature to modify its offVmsivehess. It is a.
wanton, unprovoked, and indefensible insult to
the British fag.
The proceeding is rendered worse by the tone
which the Americans Lave uniformly maintained in
relation to the right of search. They have held
that the flag of a country is an invaluable shelter to
the persons who sail beneath it; and they went to
war with Britain rather than submit to the right
which our Government claimod of taking British
sailors from American ships. They perilled every
thing rath** 1 than acknowledge foreign authority in
American vessels; and tacitly, their position has
been acquiesced in. Now, however, they venture
to do what they treated as a cause of war when
done by another Power. They have asserted their
xight to search British vessels, and to take from
them parties whose whole offence is political in its
character. Clearly, if such »n act he tolerated in
this instance, it may be multiplied indefinitely, and
the proud boast of England, that her flag guards
all beneath-it, will be heard no moro.
If an American man-of-war may coerce a British
vessel in the channel of the Bahamas. American
officers may stop and search the Cunarders,the Ca
nadian steamers, or any other British steamer,
when and where they please. If they may outrage
the British flag at sea, they may defy it on land,
and they may drag from Canada the refugees who
arc here seeking shelter from Federal despotism.
The pretension cannot, will not be tolerated. And
this arrest of Messrs. Mason and Slidell will proba
bly bring the question to an issue. It is not the
first attempt which the Northerners have made
since the commencement of the war to do as they
will towards British authority. The incursion of
armed ruffians info Essex, to capture British sub-
who had left the Federal army, was a sample
of what we might expect if Seward's agents were
permitted to tamper with the loyalty of our people;
but that occurrence, though gross, was trivial com
pared to the proceedings of Commodore Wilkes.
The arrest of Mason and Slidell strikes at the
root of British authority , and affirms a right on
the part of the Northern States to which the
meanest nation itt Christendom could not honor
ably submit -
We mwm tot Lord Lyons will at omje demand
from the Washington Government a disavowal of
the act of their commodore, and the release of
Messrs. Mason and Slidell. Not to assume this
would be to suppose that Britain is indifferent to
the rights and honor of her flag. Of these contin
gencies. we need not say which is the more proba
ble.
MISCELLANEOUS WAR NEWS.
An interview with General Folk.
TlieN. Y. Journal of Commerce of yesterday
says :
We are permitted to copy the following extract
of a letter received by a gentleman in this city,
from a reliable source. The conversation to which
it refers has already been reported by a Western
correspondent, but without allusion to the incident
mentioned below:
“ Cairo. Nov. 14.—1 think I wrote you about
the battle below here. It was a grand and fearful
sight, which I shall never forget. Yesterday I
went down with a flag of truce to return some
prisoners. We were met very cordially. General
Polk himself came on board. He is a fine type of
the old-fashioned gentleman—courteous and polite.
I knew several of the persons with him. They are
all as firm and confident as they possibly can be—
have not the faintest idea of giving up.
<* One thing surprised me, and that was to hear a
General say that he did not believe in the right of
secessyn. and did not shield himself under that;
that they were rebels, and he gloried in the name.
But. said he, let your man Lincoln come out and
say that the Bred Scott decision is right, and that
the South shall have equal rights in the Territo
ries; in other words, that the old Democratic view
of the Constitution shall be fully established, and
they would lay down their arms and return to their
homes. Otherwise, they will fight until the last
man and woman is under the sod.
“We parted with great cordiality, all wishing
soon to meet, that the great question of difference
might be removed, and we all be brothers, as of old.
They went to fight, and that soon, and they will
fight hard.”
The San Jacinto at Newport—More Pri-
soners at Fort Warren
Bostok. Nov. 21. —The United States steam
frigate San Jacinto , with Messrs. Mason and Sli
dell, has put into Newport, in consequence of stormy
weather and a heavy cross sea.
Twenty-five rebels, captured on Santa Rosa
Island during the night attack on Colonel Wilson's
camp, have arrived at Fort Warren.
The Contractors to be Paid
Washington, Nov. 21.—Since the negotiation of
the new loan on Friday last, Secretary Chase has
placed to the credit of the disbursing offioes in
Boston. New York, and Philadelphia the sum of
$5,504,87-4, to be paid to contractors and other Go
vernment creditors.
The tent invented by Gen Morgan, of Ohio, has
been brought to the attention of the Government.
Its chief sanitary excellences are the arrangement
fpr ventilation, and elevating the beds from contact
with the ground. Nothing more complete or de
sirable in the way of sheltering our army in the
field has yet been presented.
The Potomac Blockade.
Washington. Isov. 21. —The steamer Stepping
(Stone* vrhich ran the blockade on Tuesday night,
with stores for the flotilla in the lower Potomac,
transferred her stores to the squadron, and taking
on hoard a number of contrabands from tho steam
ers Baltimore and Ice Boat , again ran the blockade
last night, -on the upward trip, and arrived at the
navy yard this morning. She was not fired at from
the rebel batteries; but from the signaling on shore
it is supposed that her movements were noticed.
The contrabands brought to the yard number 53
men, 7 women, and 8 or 10 children.
The Wyandanh is now taking on board the ar
mament, &c*, of tho Ice Boat, which is being strip
ped of her warlike paraphernalia, and is to be sent
home to the Delaware river, the Government no
longer needing her services.
Pensacola to be Taken.
You may soon expect to hear that Pensacola is
taken. The Xavy Department make no conceal
ment of the fact that despatches are expected
daily from the Gull* with an account of the open
ing of the guns of Port Pickens upon the rebel
batteries. Colonel Drown has repeatedly written
for orders allowing him to blow Bragg and his bat
teries off the opposite shore* He has been chafing
like a hound in the leash.; hut, if I am not mis
taken, the word has been given that will make
Pensacola ours.— Wash. cor. JY. 1". World.
The Kailroad Communication with the
Rebels lii Virginia.
Since the destruction of the railroad bridges in
East Tennessee, the rebels in Virginia have but one
line of railroad in working order connecting them
with the South, and that is the Charleston road,
which is entirely inadequate to the transportation
the army in Virginia requires, while its connections
with other Southern roads are poor. The bridge
burning in Eastern Tennessee cuts the spine of the
Secession serpent. —Louisville Democrat.
The Arrest of Mason and Slidell.
The New York World's Washington correspon
dent says:
It is well known here that the steamer which left
New York to-day for England, carried out to Minis
ter Adams the views of the Administration on the
arrest of the rebel ambassadors, and the instructions
for his course in the premises. I hear it intimated
that Mr. Seward broadly defends tho arrest, and
states that the Administration is fully determined to
sustain the action of Gapt. Wilkes. Others, high
in authority in diplomatic quarters, assert that the
arrest will be fully acquiesced in by the British
Government, and, therefore, there need be no cause
for alarm. Per coyitra, the Secession element here,
which now and then shows itself, is jubilant over
assumed declarations of Lord Lyons, and confi
dently predicts that he will soon demand his pass
ports, to say nothing of the imminence ef a war with
England.
READY!
There is a little town not far off, which, like many
a man. in these days of change, has modestly re
ceived the greatness thrust upon it. It is on the
main road from Washington, and stands seven miles
from Muddy Branch Perry. The town lies on a
single street, which becomes narrow and dirty as
soon as it enters the line of small, one-story houses.
A few dingy stores, with low ceilings, two churches,
a school house opening upon a common* and a mise
rable inn, which would have disgraced the smallest
of Italian towns, complete the splendor of the place.
The children and swine share the coolness of the
frequent mud holes The old Virginia wagons,
with their sides like fortifications, rattle along, like
their drivers, noisy in their emptiness, taking up
the entire road. The people themselves have an
ancient and dilapidated air, as if they guarded the
headquarters of an “ old clo 5 ” Jew in London.
And all the place seems sad enough, for enterprise
and hope have betrayed it to min and left it with
out a name. But war has been more kind, and se
leoted this as one <?f those central points* from
which great deeds are to have their start and the
army of the Union be getting ready.
'What an air of bustle and business has now the
little town! Guards stand before the stores, officers
dash along the Etrccts. The old mail coach rum*
blo3 Tilth PQW Importance into the place, freighted
with ail kinds of military greatness, from corporals
to generals. Files and companies of pickets march
hack and forth. The artillery march by, and the
cavalry jingle their sabres with martial sounds,
which echo among the houses. The common is
full of military in neat white tents or drilling over
the green sward. How fast those artillery gallop,
uuliinber, elevate or depress their guns, loading and
firing in retreat, or at a halt, or even on a trot!
Cheerfully and exultingly sounds the bugle, as tho
cavalry wheel in splendid line. Fine horses full of
spirit, the steel flashing in the sun, and the lino
sweeping at a run onivurd ! One hand is enough
to guide them, and even the pressure of a foot.
Only give the command, and they wheel themselves
and then charge gallantly.
V e nre not long in observing a stairwav leading
to the top of the school house. The guard allows
to ascend. What » view ! In the background,
as usual, sweep the rolling mountains of Virginia.
Broken and grand in their summit, they seem sul
len and strong in their foundation. The sun shines
upon them, the little rifts in the clouds and the
fields lie warmly among the woodland. And there,
only four miles away but hid by a hill, lies Lees
burg. Away to the right reach the encampments,
one, two, three, —we counted six. How many more
there were we could not toll. These gave us faith
at last in Secessia. There were really such things
as rebels! AVe feasted our cyeß upon them through
lilt* ttees, mb beyond the barrier of the riVOr, With
U'cneotfiil curiosity, as we would look upon the ani
mal* in Begent’s Park. Arc they not caged?
Then we pushed gaily along the road to Edwards
Ferry, which is by far the most important. Great
wagons with white tops filled the way, full of forage
just brought up from the canal. Couriers dash by
at full speed on theii -secret errands, at which Char
lie starts up a little, but soon concludes to take life
hp easily as possible. Generals with their staff, and
colonels with their orderlies, pas 9 us, and occasion
ally a few details of infantry and cavalry. There
whs a second of a buttery. The long, black, small,
piratical-looking Parrott gun seemed so full of
ftpird, ar.d the braes field pieces so spiteful, that ond
could hardly forbear shouting—“ Woll done!”
Tents, camps on either side. The major of tho
19th Massachusetts, an old class-mate, welcomes
us with his peculiar cordial way. Noble fellow; I
felt proud to rido with him. Jlow tall and milita
ry ! He is yet to be distinguhhvd. “ Horc, n says
the major, ns wo rode through a tall grove of oaks,
“ the shell burst yesterday, which the rebels tossod
over to us.” We looked at him, but his face was
unmoved. Wc rode on listening. “ Here the shot
made music.” And a detail of soldiers are throw
ing brush into the miry road and covering it with
gravel.
“There are no eamps below,” we say, half in
quiring, half wondering; “and why UiU road
building, as if the baggage of an army and the ar
tillery of a division were to come this day ?” But
tho major only smiles nt our simplicity. “ Getting
rcadj-. M
At length we stand on a high hill, three miles
from Poolesville, overlooking the canal as it winds
at our feet. Beneath us is Edwards 1 Ferry and the
river, broken by a long inland, with the hills rising
beyond. Our glasses do hot yet show us Leesburg,
but just above the city, on the summit of the ridge
which hides it, there are men moving back and
forth, in and out of the woods, busy as bees. We
ask the guard of the two Parrot guns stationed
here, what they are doing. It is as we suspected—
throwing up a battery. “ Can they reach us?” we
inquire. “Yes, and throw a mile beyond us.”
Then what shall we do when we cross at the ferry ?
They, too, are getting ready.
How very invitingly lie those white tents under
the trees! Bow are these men at work on the hill
And just opposite a few cavalry pickets dismount
and watch us. On the end of the island rises a lit
tle white smoke by an old chimney. Your Vir
ginia chimneys mean something; they are not the
fashionable, slender flues, but real chimneys. They
stand at one end of the building, made of stone, ri
valing in size and appearance the pyramids. When
the palace goes to rum these remain, and tho little
vines climb all over it, clinging to the stone, and
drooping from the summit. It seems like some
mediaeval ruin, —a castle on the Rhine—throwing
its long shadows into the swift, turbid river In
the autumn—just now—the senson turns them to
crimson, and the color of the old fire seems to haunt
them. By this chimney stand constantly two pick
ets. We sec them distinctly with our eyes. Their ri
fles or ours could exchange not doubtful shots. But
the law respecting pickets bas nt length reached the
Upper Potomac, and wo are safe. They have now
left the tire and retired behind the chimney. The
appearance of officers always frightens them. We
will show them several before long, as soon as we
are ready.
Just below us a half mile, is an onening from the
canal into tho river. The ennal boats have come
up with military stores. But many of the boats I
see arc waiting forfreight, or passengers! Which?
Along the bank lie three flat-bottomed boats. For
what are they built? Another is just commenced.
The river is high, but what matters it, if we are
ready!
So we drive back again, to see the troops pouring
in from other places. Tho division is changing po
sition and waking itself, like a stroug soldier at
“ reveille.' ? What quantities of ambulance wagons
arc grouped on the common, with the horses close
at hand! But a few rods beyond, the carpenters
are busy engaged with a building. It is a hospital.
So we arc still waiting and looking, and hope,
whether attacked or attacking, to be found with
every department prepared and ready.
GENERAL NEWS.
Light-Housks to be Re-cstarushed.—
Capt Dupont is to re-establish the lights oa the
Southern coast, as far as he has the apparatus to do
so, and as rapidly as circumstances will admit, and
their safety is insured. He does it under the au-
the Treasury Department, which has the
supervision of the light-houses. The lights at Port
Royal are especially needed, in view of the reopening
of that port- by our fleet. The light-house appara
tus and buoys at that point were found safely stowed
away in the Beaufort arsenal
The following figures show the amount of
commissary stores which will be consumed in one
month by the United States army when brought up
to the standard authorized by Congress, viz : 500,000
men. It will be seen that the labors of the com-
department are anything but trivial, and
that the of feeding an army is a somewhat se
rious item:
11,250,000 pounds of pork, or 18,750,000 pounds
of fresh beef; 105,380 barrels of flour; 37,500
bushels of beans, or 1,500,000 pounds of rice;
1.500,000 pounds of coffee; 2,250,000 pounds of
sugar { 150,000 gallons 6f viittgak; 225,000 pounds
of candles; COO,OOO pounds of soap; 9.334 bushels
of salt, and 6,600,000 pounds of potatoes.
Coi. Mulligan, the hero of Lexington, is
lecturing in Chicago on the “ Chivalry of the Re
public. 7, The proceeds of the lectures are to be
devoted to tbe relief of tho widows and orphans of
those who fell during that memorable siege.
For administering to a little boy, named
Patrick Lombard, a quantity of brandy, causing
his death, Michael Enright has been arrested in
Detroit. It appeared in evidence on the coroner's
inquest that it was the little feiiow’s birthday, and
Enright gave him the liquor through mistaken
kindness.
