More British I’eelmg,
The Edinburgh Review )vas established in
1802, with the avowed purpose of defending
the Whig party in England,per fas el n e/as
to advocate Whig principles, in fact, whether
right or wrong,—to carry out the leading prin
ciple, avowed some thirty years later, by Mr.
Joseph Hume, that he would vote black to be
white, and white to he black, if lie thought
that his doing so would keep the Whigs in,
and the Tories mil of, office. What the Edin
burgh Review was at first, it has continued until
now —minus the talent which originally made
its reputation, when such men as Francis Jef
frey, Ilenry Brougham, Francis Horner, and
Sydney Smith were its directing spirits. It
sank low indeed when it fell into and under
the editorship of Sir George Cornwall Lewis,
the heaviest philosopher and historian living,
who now is War Secretary in that curious
body, tho Palmerston Ministry. Of course,
Sir George still writing for the Review, he fre
quently uses it as a medium of conveying to
the world the ruling ideas which take the place
of principles in his own mind and<in the minds
of his colleagues.
It may here instruct our readers that Lord
Palmerston, a very sagacious politician, has
invariably shown himself friendly to the em
ployment of literary talent against political op
ponents. In 1819, when he was a rank Tory,
he contributed largely to the amusing satire
called “ The New Whig Guide,” and it is
doubtful whether he would have given a seat
in bis Cabinet to Sir G. O. Lewis, but for his
connection with the Edinburgh Review . Mr.
Robert Lawo was made a member of the
British Government, chiefly because he wrote
with great ability in The Times, where he con
_ tinuea to support and defend the policy of his
principal.. James Wilson, of The Economist,
was pushed up in office for tho same reason,
and other instances might be mentioned.
In the new number of the Edinburgh Sivim
is a paper entitled “The Disunion of America,”
which we can scarcely err in attributing to Sir
G. C. Lewis, one of Queen Victoria's Cabinet
Ministers, We might pause to question if
any man in such a situation, writing opinions
in a periodical which a sense of propriety'
would prevent him from delivering to the
pub lie In a speech, but the error is so obvious
that we need not do more than glance at it.
At the same time, we are justified in assuming
that whatever Palmerston may say about the
struggle for freedom and good government in
the United States, liis lieutenant, heavy
Lewis, actually declares the Premier's opinion
as well as his own.
Tlio J ievieu, taking ft strong anti-slavery po
sition, denies “ the audacious avowal of the
South, that slavery is the corner-stone of the
social fabric,” but, at tlie same time, pro
elaims that “ the pulslie Biiad of England, and
of Europe, is totally unable to follow the
Korth in its determination to maintain the
connection with the South by force of arms.”
What, then, does England—what does Europe
expect ? That the treason of Secession was
to go unpunished; that the Union was to be
broken ; that the Constitution was to be vio
lated ? The Mdmlmrgh Reviewer cannot get
rid ofcthe fact that our Constitution was meant
to be supreme, but qualifies it by declaring that
it was to be supremo only as fair ft-? i( gtifj
and, In fact, that the South was to judge how
far it did go!
One of the Reviewer’s accusations is, that
CS U la scarcely less dangerous to express in
the North opinions in favor of Secession, or
even of a peaceftil compromise, than it would
be in the South: fo. adtoento the abolition of
slavery.” Surely no sensible writer can pre
tend that disafibeted people are to be allowed
to talk treason in any State, Kingdom, or Re
public Wftgijjjg War with another State J Wliat
is the English practice in such cases ?—to ar
rest the free-spoken garridists, and clap them,
in double irons, into Newgate or the Tower,
wfthowt allowing them t 6 Seek for redress un
der tlie Act of Habeas Corpus.
The state.sremn.of Europe, the Reviewerjsays,
are persuaded that “ if there he in America a
party who think they are eentehdmg for the
maintenance of the Constitution of 1789, these
men are seif-deluded,” and that such allegiance
is not due to our Constitution as is paid to the
monarchies of Europe. If this he so, then half
a million of patriot-soldiers now in arms “are
self-deluded.” for they are resolved, with true
hearts and strong hands, to do battle for the
maintenance of the Union which that Consti
tution completed and sealed.
Passing a great deal of verbosity, relieved
now and then by such startling declarations as
the above, we reach the peroration of the
Palmerstonian disquisition on “ The Disunion
of America.” It is as follows:
“The next three months, which include the sea
son most favorable for military Operations in Ame
rica, will probably be marked by important events,
though we can hardly hope for a decisive result.
The operations of the present campaign are in fact
almost confined to tho Border States, and the ut
most suooess of the Federal armies could hardly do
more than regain a footing in those disputed terri
tones, where the opinions of the people are divided.
Nevertheless, in spite of the hatred engendered by
this contest, we cannot anticipate that it will be of
very long duration. Democratic governments havo
seldom shown that tenaoity of purpose which in
duces a nation to submit to all the privations of pro
tracted and unsuccessful war; and the enormous
scale on which modem warfare is carried on
tofidS it liinit lie Continuance. A foreign war may
be waged for a long series of years; but a
war like this absorbs the whole vital energy of the
country, suspends all the sources of production,
and makes the people at once the instrument and
the victim of its destructive power. The process
of exhaustion is therefore accelerated. Moreover,
whatever the financial resources of the Union may
be, the strain on them is too great to be prolonged
indefinitely. Nearly half the country, and more
than half the export trade, is at once off from
the area of taxation; the import trade is crippled;
credit is shaken ; manufactures are partly stopped;
the local taxations of the several States must have
increased; the direct taxation of the Union has
been raised to a war level; but even these taxes,
if thoy can be raised, will only pay the interest an
the loans which have been voted; the indirect
taxation, which has hitherto sufficed for the wants
of the' Government, perishes with tho stoppage of
trade. The financial pressure in the South, and
the want of the neceasaries of life, which the
South has hitherto drawn from the North or
from foreign countries, must be still more grievous
and intolerable; and it is not easy to comprehend
whence the resources are derived which have en
abled the Confederate States to maintain so large
an army, and to defend so'vast a line of frontier
But although the efforts made en both sides in the
present year huyo been extraordinary, war cannot
be carried on for several campaigns without a re
proffuettv? pww in tb« armies and finances of the
country, which this contest is not likely to call
forth. lit isnot probable, from the nature of the
operations';haul from the inexperience of the bel
ligerents, that any decisive military successes
tcill be obtained / and if we might hazard a conjec
ture as to the issue of the contest, it would be that
the two parties, tired hut not satisfied, exhausted
but not reconciled, will at last sullenly submit to a
necessary separation.”
We need not point to the fact how remarka
bly tho « decisive military operations” during
the present mpnth negative the prediction here
so boldly made. But we beg to tell the re
viewer that sullen submission to a necessary
separation is the last thing that the true men
of the North, West, and East, will ever make.

[ Mb. Editob :In your paper of the 26th inst., in
the article headed “ The latest war news,’’yousay:
ci In the late engagement between General Benhain
and Governor Floyd, a rebel cavalry officer dis
played a degree of bravery which attracted the ad
miration of our troops. In his vain efforts to rally
his flying forces he was mortally wounded, lie
proved to be Colonel Croghan, son of the United
States Navy offiocr, of Pennsylvania, who in tho
last war with Great Britain, displayed undaunted
mrag? in defending a Western poet,” #«, Suffer
me to correct a slight mistake, into which your in
formant has fallen. The father of Colonel Croghan
was Major Croghan, then a youth of twenty years,
who was in 1813 left in command of Fort Sandusky
by General Harrison; he was ordered on the ap
proach of the British to set fire to the fort, and
with it destroy a large quantity of stores then in
his possession, and to retreat. Major Croghan diso
beyed the orders of his superior offioor, and with
but a handful of men repulsed the attack of the
enemy, and saved the fort and stores from falling
into their hands! For this act of great gallantry
ho was rewarded by promotion, and lived to be
raised to high rank in the service, and died, if we
mistake not, at New Orleans, at which place he at
one time, we believe, was collector of tho port,
but was, as appears from tho above, a Uniterl
States Nary officer. He died, happily for him,
too soon to see misapplied and perverted the talents
of his son, of whom otherwise he might have been
justly prvwi.

Gen. Hallcck’s Policy of Campaign—An
Advance Down the River.
[St. Louis Corrospondeiice Cincinnati Enuuircr.]
A large force is at work on the gunboats and mor
tar flats, and all will be sent forward to* Cairo within
the present week. The engagement of steamers for
transportation of troops and supplies, &e., will not
at all be difficult, for the tonnage laid up at this
port, and now idle, is immense and ample to carry
100,000 men. General Halleck has not yet intima
ted his policy, but as “ straws show which way the
wind blows.” so do preparations and movements in
dicate the future advance of pur arffiy. Co-ope
rating with the forces in Kentucky, Gen. Halleck
will move on to Tennessee overland, and down the
Mississippi river, and tho opinion is now enter
tained that by the Ist of March the Union forces
will hare complete possession of that State, and
possibly he on their onward march further South.
The railroads in this State arc to be held by Go
vernment troops, so that other parts of the State
will be of little benefit to the rebels. Jefferson City
is now strongly fortified, and impregnable to any
foroo that turn bo brought against it.
Twenty thousand troops have arrived nt Tipton,
and are expected at Jefferson City to-morrow, cn
route for St. Louis. These divisions of the army
will be stationed nt the barracks for a few days,
preparatory to making the great movement South.
Gen. Halleck is in his new quarters, and as a con
trast I send you the present expenses for headquar
ters, as compared with the rental for headquarters
under Fremont. The rooms for Gens. Halleck and
Curtis, quartermaster, adjutant general, master of
transportation, commissary, A'O., ura now adjoining
each other, at a rent of §2,250 per annum. The
buildings rented under Fremont for these same
offices amounted to $14,500 per annum.
Major Generals Ilalleck and Fremont had an in
terrifw M sight si ft? r??i4?ss? of the latter,
General Fremont laid before General Halleck his
plans, movements, So., together with all informa
tion he was in possession of, as to the strength and
condition of the army late under his command.
The interview was very pleasant, but the views of
the two generals are quite different as to the man
ner of carrying on the campaign.
Colonel Blair was introduced to General Halleck
for the first time this morning.
The Gunboats.
Tbe St. Louis T>emocrat says: Considerable ap
prehension is observed to exist in the minds of the
people that the gunboats, not quite finished, will
not be able to get out of the Mississippi river, unless
they nre sent away within a very few days. The
latest reports from 'Mat island represent the Stage
of water at five and a half feet, and some of the
boats are said to draw five feet. A few days of
dry, cold weather will lower the river at least a
foot, in which case our war vessels would be in
pretty much the same condition of the Cincinnati
gunboats, that, by reason of low water, were caught
in a tight place at Louisville.
These contingencies, the people may rest as
sured, have all been duly considered by the hont
bullders and the naval commanders. Their means
of information are superior to those of the commu
nity, and it may safely be supposed that they are
acting with a full knowledge of everything that
Bi&y kiftdSV promote thfe success of the great
naval expedition of the West. If the water is fail
ing too fast, the boats will he hurried out and com
pleted at Cairo. If they are not able to carry off
their guns, lighter draught vessels wiU bo employed
to transport them,

The Fiendish Spirit of the Rebels.
jFrom the Eaglo J
The subjoined intercepted letter from James
Blackburn to his wife has been sent to us by (Jen.
Nelson with a request that it shall be published.
In complying with the request w? PKJIt portions of
the letter which are strictly of a private nature,
and publish only such parts as exhibit a fiendish
hatred towards men in Kentucky who have only
offended in remaining loyal to their country and
State. James Blackburn was a schoolmate of tho
editor, and our personal relations were friendly.
He is a son of Edward Blackburn, of Woodford
county, and a brother-in-law of Thompson Flour
noy, of Arkansas, in which State he has himself re
sided for several years. Wo have no doubt that
the devilish and murderous spirit exhibited by the
latter are shared by most of the renegades who
have lifted their traitor bands against their native
State, and all hesitating Union men may see from
it what they have to expect if they shall ever be
placed at the mercy of such men os our quondam

A Secessionist Killed.
John Millikcn, who was formerly the postmaster
at Paducah, has Met a deserved fate. Since Seces
sion was first planned in Kentucky, he has been
among the foremost in the rebellion, and when the
Federal troops were about to occupy his town he
left for Mayfield, and has since then been unscru
pulous and unsparing in bis persecution of every
one who was loyal to his country. On Tuesday of
last week he entered a house, where he found two
Union men, and commenced in the most vitupera
tive language to threaten them, and, having lashed
himself fjato fary, be finally struck one vf them.
As quick as the thunder follows the lightning's
Hash, the report of a musket was heard, and the
ruffian received its entire contents, killing him in
stantly. This terrible retribution will, it is hoped,
hay§ the effect to deter others from the commission
of similar outrages. While the Union men in that
vicinity are disposed to be peaceable, the Seces
sionists are violent, turbulent, and aggressive. Our
friends are extremely anxious to reach Paducah,
that they may join Col. Williams 5 regiment, but
the rebels will not permit them to leave their
homes, and they subject them to all kinds of indig
nities.

The Banquet to Captain Wilkes.
A banquet was given to Captain Wilkes and the
officers of the San Jacinto on the evening of the
26th at the Revere House, which was attended by
about one hundred and fifty guests. The affair
was got up by a committee of gentlemen who were
sadly deficient of a knowledge of their duty on
such occasions, inasmuch as they did not furnish
the slightest accommodation to the press.
Among the invited gucsta were the Governor,
Chief Justice Bigelow, the Commodore of this
station, Mayor Wightman, and a number of dis
tinguished citizens and strangers.
Hon. T. Wiley Edmunds" presided. After the
cloth was removed ho made. a welcome speech to
the distinguished guest, which was loudly ap
plauded.
Captain Wilkes, on rising to respond, was re
ceived with tremendous - applause, the company
rising and giving him three times three cheers,
which were thrice repeated.
%■ Captain Wilkes thanked the company for the kind
reception they had accorded him, and for their en
dorsement, of his acts. He spoke but a few minutes,
giving a rapid and compendious account of the
cruise of the San Jacinto in pursuit of the priva
teer Sumpter after her arrival at the WestJlndies,
which was ended by the capture of the rebel emis
saries, Slidell and Mason. Captain Wilkes remark
ed that he would have suffered the rebel commis
sioners to pursue their way if they could have
shown a pass from the General Government.
The noble sailoris opt much of a speech-maker,
but he has an honest, smiling countenance, and
won, by his genial and bland manner, upon the
ready affection of the company.
Governor Andrew, on being introduced, said he
rejoiced 16 be present on an oftoasion Uko thU, for
the purpose of paying the utmost honor to the
illustrious commander who was tho guest of the
evening. Enough bad been done during the past
two weehs to make the name of Wilkes history.
He had performed the tiidSt illUStfi<sU3 SAfViAA that
has been rendered since the war began. It had
happened to him (Governor Andrew) to be present
on official business at the War Department when
the telegraphic despatch announcing the capture of
the two rebel officers was received. He thought it
but courteous that the Secretary of W ar should iead
in the cheers which followed; but he begged to as
sure the company he was not behind the second
man to raise his voice in loud acclaim; and he had
the satisfaction of knowing, at a very early hour.
that the territory of Massachusetts would have the
opportunity of furnishing a prison to these unnatu
ral and audacious traitors. When he thought of
the contumely and scorn our glorious New England
had received from these men, once Senators, now
captives, he felt more than repaid in contemplating
their present condition. The'Governor concluded
by proposing the health of Lieut. Fairfax and the
officers and crew of the Ban Jacinto. It was re
ceived with great applause.
Lieutenant Fairfax, in rising to respond, was re
ceived with bflfdly lees consideration than his com:
mender. Th<x, Lieutenant spoke at some length,
giving some of the incidents attending the cruise,
and the part he took in the capture of the rebel
ambassadors. Although he was a Southern man he
know but one flag for America; and that wag the
glorious stars and stripes.
Chief Justice Bigelow made a fervid speech.
There were occasions when a man did not need to
look into law books, or to consult counsel. Ilis own
instincts and his own patriotism would tell him what
to do. Ho vindicated the act of Captain Wilkes as
being in exact and strict conformity with interna
tional law, as it was his duty as an officer. He had
occasion within the last few days to consult the last
speech of Senator Slidell, made in the Senate of
the United Stales. He told the Senators in that
speech, among other things, that they (the Confe
derates) would cover the seas with the militia,
and if you a?k me where our ships, our sailors,
our Eommandflrs are to come fromi I ausiveri
we will get them from England. The Chief
Justice would aDswer for it that Slidell's hopes of
getting ships and men from England would prove
quite as false as his hopes of representing rebellion
in that country, lie v.nimed to say that Eugland,
unless she falsifies her own conduct, tbe declara
tions of her statesmen and the decision of her judi
ciary, cannot make an issue with us on the arrest
of Slidell and Mason. We need only to refer to
the i‘e66i‘<Ua ju.lgMef.ts &f her great jurists te see
that she can make no just quarrel with us on this
question. Nothing could be more deplorable than
a war with England ; but he trusted that if it did
come we were prepared to meet it like men. We
b« p?rm with hll native?, fcet shvuld esrsr
buy it at tbe cost of our own degradation. <
A letter from Major General Butler was read, iq
which he characterized the conduct of Captain
Wilkes as equalling in importance any one in our
naval records.
mu uiada by Mayas WigktMan aad
several other gentlemen. The greatest good feel
ing prevailed throughout the evening until ten
o’clock, when the company separated with cheers

St&iis a&d Sttip&g-
Doomed Cities.
The New York Times , of yesterday, in comment
ing upon the operations of the stone fleet, says;
A despatch from Washington gives assurance that
the atone fleet has gone on the very mission to
wards which general hope spontaneously pointed—
the closure of the ports of Charleston and Sa-
Vafißah ! As this hovel expedition sailed from New
London and New Bedford, now seven days ago,
and the weather has been highly propitious during
the whole time, it is probable that it has already
done its work, and that the five-and-twenty old
bulk;, with their stony burdens, scuttled broadside,
have obliterated for years to come the entree to
those cursed cities by the sea.
It must be confessed there is something wonder
fully gratifying in this silent, resistless piece of
Rhadamanthenn justice. The calmness of the
MOthid is duo, and a chef in its way * no
vulgar theatrical vengeance, no laying of the city
in ashes, as those heated braggarts of Charleston
threatened, but a silent blight falling on them as
though out of the night—deadly, inevitable—and
leaving these perfidious eities in a petrified death
in life, to 11 point a moral or adorn a tale.”
Affairs at Fort Warren
MESSBS. SLIDELL AND MASON—EX-GOV. MOBEHEAD
ItfABSIIAL EASE—SICKNESS DEGKEASISO
DEATH 0E A NOtITH CAROLINA COBPOBAL.
The Boston Traveller, of the 26th inst., says:
Everything is as quiet at Fort IVarren as it was
before the arrival of the important prisoners whose
capture is the cause of so much discussion and so
much rejoicing. Col. Dimmick is more strict in ad
mitting visitors to the Fort than heretofore, al
though a few officers still have the privilege
allowed. Among these, and about the only ones,
are Gov. Andrew, Marshal Keyes, and tho Mayor
and Chief of Police of Boston.
Slidell and Mason have comfortable quarters
which they share with their secretaries. As they
have funds they have purchased various articles for
their ?Qnyenienpe, not provided by the Govern
ment, and as the prospect is that they are likely to
remain here some time, their money has been judi
ciously used.
Mr. Mason, who wore an air of nonchalance on
Sunday, when taken to the fort, has apparently
found the place less agreeable than he anticipated.
Perhaps the climate does not agree with him, or it
may he that he means to be exclusive ; but it is re
marked, among the prisoners, that he keeps himself
very close to his room. He appears sad and not in
a very good humor.
On the other hand, Slidell is brightening up, and
is more cheerful. lie ventured out of doors in the
storm yesterday, hut he is of Northern birth, and
thus the climate may not affect him se much as
others.
The “ ambassadors ” are allowed to converse
freely with other political prisoners, but we
doubt whether their conversation is very edify
ing, or the story of their experiences very cheer
ing-
Mr. Morehead, of Kentucky, is less bitter in bis
denunciation of “Yankees” than heretofore, and
now appears in his original character as a fine old
Kentucky gentleman. Marshal Kane, of Balti
more, Still sports bis long boots and saokißg-Sftp,
hut swells about less than formerly, evidently feel
ing that he is no longer a “ lion.” Mr. Faulkner,
of Virginia, as heretofore, remains quiet, taking
bis confinement with the air of a philosopher.
The hospital waa formerly full of patients, lmt
the number of sick has materially decreased, and
Dr. Peters reports that most of them are doing well.
One man died yesterday—a corporal of the North
Carolina prisoners, taken at Hatteras. A metallic
coffin was procured, by order of Lieut. Buel, of
Col. Dimmick’s staff, and his remains .will probably
he sent home.
They Must he Whipped, into Order.
Up to the timo of tho success of tkunaval expedi
tion to Port Boyal, tho Southern, people were
proudly confident of their power : to.ank our entire
navy, if an attempt should do made-to attack their
forts with our ships. A panic suddenly followed
the Government success, and it is., running all over
the South. The Southern people have the same
blind confidence in their troops. The latest South
ern newspapers are filled with', hoasts of the supe
rior courage and ability of the sebel troops. Tho
successes of the rebel army in Basters Virginia
lmve led many Southern people - u suppose that Uif
rebel troops are really bettor. fighters than tho G
vernment soldiers. They must be disabused of tikis,
idea before they will acknowledge the Govtan-.
rnent.
The view token by Ms- Walker very generally
obtains in "Washington. Everything passes, so
quietly hero that some of our people marine that
me rebels axe about ready to flock in and Say down
their arms. No moa in America believes, less in.
this theory than General McClellan, lit helioves.
that the rebels must be soundly thrashed—beaten
on the field —befoie the rebellion will succumb. It
is because he hns an adequate idea o£ the immense
power of the rebellion, that he tah,eo bis own timo
to meet it in tho field. Those wl*»> urge him pre
maturely on do not understand the difficulties in
the way, nor comprehend the terrible risks of ano
ther defeat. General McClellan says proudly that
he does not moan to give general battle to the
enemy until hq considers success to bo reasonably
certain.

The Stone Fleet—Destruction of Rebel
Harbors.
We have already given an account of tho Btone
fibct which baa been purchased by the Government
fortbo obstruction of the Southern harbors. That
portibn of the fleet which was purchased in New
Bedford te thus described by tho Mercury:
“Tile flej!t which sailed from this port on the
rnO’nk'g- of fii;* 2!l!h insfim?,- consisted c*f sixteen
vosteJs, The crcirs consisted of four tech men oaoh,
except tirr South America, which carried sixteen.
The cost of these ships to tho'Governmont was
about SiO per ton. Borne of them were worth
double that rum per tou, andnli would'havo brought
more than that if -they had been broken up. Here,
at least, tiiu Dmartniniit has got full i/alus for tbs
money It Has expended, and in the fitment of the
vessels the Government has had the benefit of tbe
supervision of somnof our most experienced ship
owners.
“The destination of. this fleet is a nntfof about
which tho public hza the largest liberty to specu
late. Whether the 3Vfl thousand tons epstene ar«
to be used to increase the 1 base of the Rip Raps, or
whether the ancient catapult is to be brought into
use, and the stones are to be projeeted, or whether
they are taken South for the arming of the slaves,
or whether they are to bo sunk at the entrance of
Charleston or Savannah, we aro not informed.'
Tho fact, that' at light watermark in each vessel a'
hole has been bored, into which' a lead pipe has
been inserted, tho ends carefully bailed down-on "
either side of the vessel, a plugdrlven in from-the 1 '
outside and another from within, and both secured
by a rod passing through them, and Listened within 1
by a nut and screw, fuvors the sinkmg’hypothe9is; •
and the additional fact that, at the last moment, an 1 '
old sea-captain suggested putting two 2-ineh augerd v
on bonrd each ship, makes it violently probable''
that there Sixteen whalers tiro to ho put to the in.
glorious use of stopping rat-holcs.
“In due time we shall hear tho result of thi3 *
novel expedition. It has been admirably managed
in its inceptien, tho ships are in charge of expe
rienced navigators familiar with the Southern coast,
and the orders of the Department, whatever they
are, will be executed to tho letter. IVc have large
faith in the enterprise; and as it is an exceedingly
pacific mode of carrying-on the war all our citizens 1
will join in wishing it success.”
Another stone fleet is fitting out, to COnsist Of
twenty-five vessels, which WiU he feudy to sail la a -
few days.
Of the “ effectiveness” of such a stone blockade
there can be no doubt. The main ship-ohanne! ‘
leadiDg to Savannah is but 250 yards across in the
narrowest place, and can be perfectly barred b v half
a dozen of those vessels. Oli&fleiitSfi- harboi ‘ls ’ ‘
equally eligible to tho same treatment. Once sunk, ‘
these old hulks become points for the accumulation
of alluvials, which the rivers bear down, and- of
the sands which the tides carry back. There is a ■
natural tendency in such porta to form obstructions,
and all wc have to do is, as the physicians say, to -
“assistnature.” Becoming thoroughly embedded "
in the sand, these accumulations but advance with
time, forming unconquerable obstacles to reopening
the harbors, and establishing a blCCkftde which tbe
highest pressure diplomacy of the world will be ut
terly powerless to “ raise.”
The Mason-Slidell Case
[From tho Moutroal Guzettc,]
A telegram from Washington, in other columns,
conveys the impression that Lord Lyons will pro
bably wait for instructions from home before taking
any step in a matter so important as the Mason-
Slidcll affair. It is to be expected that the British
Will liCt with deliberation. But we doubt
if any authentic report of his views has been com
municated to the press. The inventive faculty of
the Washington correspondents is so great that one
can scarcely believe anything they say. Some of
them, ftr inetonce, the ether day, represented
Lord Lyons to be la a tearing, undiplomatic rage,
threatening all kinds of things if the prisoners were
not delivered up; also, that other foreign ambassa
dors at 'Washington were in a similarly pleasant
state of mind, saying what they would do, &0., if
the ease were theirs. It is filKMt needless to s&y
that this delightful sensation stuff has found plenty
of echoes; almost as needless to add that we hare
not been able to find room for it.
We pointed out yesterday the inconveniences
which might arise from such an extension of tha>
rule respecting the carriage of despatches and di
plomat! ve agents by neutral vessels, if the rule
were so enlarged as to cover the capture of Messrs;
Mason and Slidell. It would render all the English
Hiftil steamns liable tv capture by Confederate ves
sels, and to confiscation. Le Cottrrier dts Etats-
Unis also points out that the rule, if held good
against a neutral vessel proceeding from one noutral
port to another, as the Trent was doing, would
justify cither belligerent in stationing cruisers in
tliA British OlifiiiEkAl—AVcii i& ike Straits of Dover
—-and. capturing all the mail steamers bearing
American agents of either of the belligerents, and
despatches from the continental embassies to that in
London.
It is filthat tli« rule thus &&t&ud£d w&uld be
come simply unbearable to neutrals. It must be as
signed some rational limit, and a vessel loaded or
cleared from a neutral port for a neutral port, bear
ing despatches only tp the neujpgj Pf BPtt"
trai ’Governments, ought to be exempt from tho
penalties which the Northerners claim they have a
right to inflict upon all vessels carrying contraband
of war. We apprehend that a Spanish or English
vessel, carrying powder, £o. } to Cuba, would net
be lawful prize, though the Cuban importer might
have really ordered such stores with a view to sup
ply one of the belligerents, else the Government of
Cuba might be hindered of supplied for its own army.
And £0 in respect of arms and stores sent to Ca*
nadafrom Great Britain, some of which have un
doubtedly been imported for sale to the Northern
States, but were not. therefore, lawful prize while
on the high seas, and under a neutral flag. The
right to search for contraband cf war. is for that
evidently shipped to, and intended for one of the
belligerents, and for despatches sent from one bel
ligerent officer to another. We apprehend that
General Scott could not have been lawfully captured
on the steamer that took him to England, though
iio should have oarried despatches to Air. Adams.
If not, then Messrs. Mason and Slidell were net
liable to capture on the Trent.
Nashville, Tennessee.
The New York Tlnie.s gives the following de
scription of the proposed new capital of the Rebels;
The city of Nashville—to which Jeff now proposes
to remove himself, his satellites, liis secretaries,
bis bureaus, and bis Congress, and whore ho pro
poses to set up a Government, which will probably
last for some weeks yet—is the capital of the State
of Tennessee, and is situated on the Cumberland
river, two hundred miles (following the windings
of tbs stream) above its junction with, tho Ohio,
The cityads built chiefly.on the-south side of the
river, on The slopes and at the foot of a hill rising
about two hundred feet above the water. The city
has (had) a population of about 30,000. Among the
other inducements for establishing the capital here
WAS dSUhtISSS thS fast of Its being a great railroad
centre, as well as having river navigation generally
all the year round. There are five railroads radiating
from Nashville—the Tennessee, and Alabama, the
Louisville and Nashville, the Edgefield and Ken
tucky, the Nashville and Chattanooga, and tha
Nashville and North-Western. Steamboats ascend
from the mouth of the Cumberland to Nashville,
and the river is navigable by stoamboatsof 1,500
tons for fifty miles above, tho city, and .by smaller
boat? to the falls, five hundred miles. Unlike
Richmond, Nashville is a remarkably healthy city,
owiDg in part to the rocky site on which it is built.
As Davis has shaken with the ague nearly half the
time he has been in Richmond, he will doubtless be
glad of the chance to get cured of that miserable
disease, by nehenge of elimito ladleeallsa. Nash
ville is generally well built, and there aro.numerous
imposing public buildings. One of the finest of the
former is the new Capitol, situated on an eminence
one hundred and seventy-five feet above tho river,
usd ewHrueteff inside andoutofabeautiful variety
of fossliifcrouslimestone. It is threestwieshigh, In
cluding the basement. At each end there is an lonic
portico of eight columns, each four feet six inches in
diameter, and thirty-threo feet five inches high; and
each of the sides hns also a portico of. six columns.
A tower rises above tha ooutri of thereof to the
height of two hundred and six feet front the ground.
It has a quadrangular rusticated base, forty-two
feet high, surmounted by a cirouhtr bell thirty,
seven leet high, and twenty-six feet eight inches in
ffifimeteri With eight fluted Corinthian columns, de
signed from the choragic monument of Lysicrates,
at Athens. The dimensions of the whole build
ing are 138 by 238 feet, and it .cost over a mil
lion of dollars. It is approached by four ave
nues, which rise from terrace to terrace, by
broad marble steps. The edifice is considered tho
handsomest State Capitol in the Union. This is the
building in which the Secession Congress will hold
its sessions. It was held out by the citizens of
Nashville as one of the principal inducements to re
move the capital to their town. There are many
other fine public buildings—a court-house, a peni
tentiary, theatre, hospital, university, State bank,
etc. At Secession time the periodical press of the
city comprised five daily newspapers, eight weeklies,
and eight monthly publications. Several of these,
papers hare persisted of late ; but in addition to
them, the late Louisville Courier (Secession) is .
now printed there. The Nashville press hns long
been the most respectable in Tennessee—noted for '
moderation end solid sen??.
The commerce of Nashville bos,been very large)

roads. A great part of this is, of course, now de- .
stroyed—though the fact that.it. has been inade.a.

bushels Indian eorn, 10,000 casks bacon, and 25.000 ,
hogs. The neighborhood is a famous stock-raising
country, and has a high reputation for blood

goats. The Southern Methodist Book; (fonccrn, one
