British Anti-Americanism
The Westminster Review, founded by JEREMY
BENTHAM, .and long conducted in the most
liberal spirit, by BownlNo, MILL, and other
apostles of Progress, has ling put itself for
ward as the friend and champion, par excel
lence, of America and Americans. In the
new number, just received, is an article avow
edly based on " The Times, December, NH ) "
and "The American Union," an abusive
volume, lately published in London, and writ
ten by that recreant pseudo-Philadelphian,
JAMES SPENCE, of Liverpool. The Westmin
ster, in fact, is now as insolently abusive of
this country as ever were the Edinburgh and
Quarterly, when SYDNEY SMITH and WILLIAM
GIFFORD delighted to sneer at us.
The article entitled IC The American Belli
gerents : Rights of Neutrals," opens with the
accustomed stereotyped expressions against
this country. It declares our Government to
be iPiluerreed by "the clamors of a n ob;" it
denounces our impatience of wrong as the
"spirit of bravado and bluster;" and, with a
lofty contempt of the trammels of syntax, it
speaks of "the aristocratic Southerner, su
perior in point of talent and education, but
inferior in point of numbers" to the North.
We had a notion, up to this time, that the
superior education of the Southerner, when
he had any, was obtained in Northern col
leges, and we have yet to learn what effect,
beyond the production of a few works of
fiction, this education has produced upon our
national literature.
The Westminster Review, forgetful of the
fact that CASING once gave the lie direct to
Bacruottiat, daring a debate in the House of
Commons, assorts that the dignity of Congress
"seldom rises above the level of a discussion
forum, and is not unfrequently lowered to the
level of a cock-pit." Thence it branches off
into a consideration of the question—has
England preserved neutrality towards the
United States ? It compliments the South, at
the eNpense of the North, as it proceeds, in
these words Now, we deny the quality of
courage to neither party, but unquestionably
the loftiest spirit and the proudest hearts are
to be found on the right bank of the Potomac.
The haughtiness of the Southerner is due
partly to his lineage and domestic habits, but
especially to his long ascendency in the coun
cils of the Union. With great natural apti
tude for organization and command, the
Southerner is as superior to the Northerner
in generalship as in capacity for political ad
ministration. Strange to say, notwithstanding
his climate and his slave-holding, he is also the
hardier animal of the two," It adds, what
will be news to many millions on this side of the
Atlantic, gc The North is fighting to defend an
abstraction—the Constitution—the South to
defend his Lem, his wife, mad his children.
The North is aggressive, the South passive
and resistant."
All this leads to the Trent question. The
Westminster Reviewer settles it in a rapid
manner—by simple assertion. lie declares, and
his spec dish is evidently intended to override
all argument, that neither as rebels nor belli
gerents was there a shadow of pretext, in law
or fact, for removingl4fAsott and SLIDELIJ from
the deck of the Trent. Perhaps not—but
they undoubtedly were Ambassadors from the
Rebel Confederation, and Lord STOWELL, the
great Admiralty judge, whose judgments Eng
land now seeks to repudiate, gave a decision
in a very similar case of the Caroline, that
enemies' ambassadors are contrabands of war.
The Reviewer asserts, on the contrary, that
"if ambassadors, their sacred character would
confer on them entire immunity, whether on
the high seas or on neutral waters," and that
c‘ envoys on a peaceful mission can be no
more contraband than private civilians." The
mission of the captured men was not peaceful—
it is known to have been to obtain the rebel
Republic acknowledged as independent by
France and England at least, and, on that re
cognition, to obtain money and arms in Eu
rope.
Finally : the IVestminster Reviewer accuses
the United States of having knowingly cheated
England in the Ashburton and Webster Treaty
of 1842.
We have done with this publication, which
we notice merely to show how com
pletely it opposes all that it hcrttofore has
said in friendship towards this country. That
Blackwood's Magazine should ridicule us—
that the Edinburgh Review should contemn
our principle, and that the Quarter/y should
mix don - nrikht abuse with sarcasm and ruis
epresentation—was to be expected ; for it
was familiar, but that the Westminster should
mix all the bad characteristics of tho other
three against this country has alike disgusted
and disappointed us.
New Publications
The new number of Duyokinek and Chappel's
Poi-lfalt Gansu trf E6iinent Americans
contains full-length portraits of Robert Fulton,
who first made steam•navigation a reality, and of
Prescott, the historian. They are fine likenesses,
well engraved.
"The Flower of the Prairie," the first of peter
son's edition of Gustave Aimard's remarkable ro
mances of Indian Life, well translated, will be
speedily followed, we understand, by " The Indian
Scout," which carries on the story.
Prom T. B. Peterson we have a singular Beek, by
Atdrew Jackson Davis, the Spiritualist, also pub
lished by himself, in New York. It is entitled
" The Harbinger of Health ; containing Medical
Prescriptions for the human mind and body," and.
with a g99(1 deal 91 quint glallltelllMA J is 091130tinzes
fervid and eloquent. What distinguishes it is its
practical common sense. Mr. Davis strongly ad
vocates simplicity of living. He argues in favor of
allowing the common air to enter the lungs through
the nose—and the Scriptural basis for this is the
record, " and breathed into his nostrils the breath
of life," to be found in Genesis. He declares
"There will be no disease when the globe shall
have become perfectly subdued and gardenized by
man ; and there will be no death' when the earth's
inhabitants shall perfectly realize the nearness of
the Summer Land." There really is a good deal
of medical information in this volume. It will be
remembered 'that John Wesley also wrote a medical
work, entitled Preventive Physic."
The new number of the Westminster Review,
(New York republication, received through W. B.
Zieber, South Third street,) has two or three good
papers—such as The Dramatic Poetry of Oehlen
schlager, the Dane ; Sir Charles Napier; On Trans
lating Romer, and Popular Education in Prussia.
There is the usual eulogy upon the late Prince Al
bert, and a very anti-American article, which we
have fully noticed elsewhere. With inexplicable
ineonsistency, this Review subsequently noticing
Mr. Olmsted's Journeys and Explorations in the
Cotton Kingdom, says (p. 139) : Mr. Olmsted ig
nores or 11,581413103 as utterly unfounded all the political
grievances of the South, and devotes himself to
giving a full picture of its social and economical
condition. It is not to be expected that the South
should be flattered by such a thorough Northerner
as Mr. Olmsted, bat it is impossible to resist his
accumulated evidence. The manner in which
slavery and cotton growing are gradually debasing
the character of the Southern Americans, and
hopelessly impoverishing the soil of their States, is
insisted on and displayed with an amount of infor
mation that scarcely admits of a reply."
In the previous article, (p. 11Q) the t , aristoeia•
tie Southerner" is admiringly spoken ails "supe
rior in point of talent and education, but inferior in
point of numbers" to the Northern mob ! How to
reconcile this with the reproach that the Southern
character is become gradually delmail l Ire IaPI9
the Reviewer to settle with his readers.
Arrest of a Female Secessionist
A Washington despatch to the New York Herald
says A lady calling herself Mrs. Morris, who came
here from Richmond some time since, alleging that
she bad been compelled to leave on account of ex
pressions of sympathy with the North, was arrested
on Monday, and looked up in the Capitol Hill pri
son. She is charged with giving information to the
enemy regarding the twartion and strength of the
Federal troops and fortifications in and about Wash.
ington. Mr. Walworth, son of Chancellor Walworth,
of New York, clerk in the Adjutant General's office,
has also been arrested and imprisoned on the charge
of acting in complicity with her.
This Mrs. Morris, who is a gay, dashing, and
sprightly widow, it will be remembered, offered, for
one hundred thousand dollars, to explain the rebel
army signals. This offer was not aeoepted, but, for
prudential reasons, it was deemed advisable to keep
a strict watch upon her, and the result has been her
arrest, which took place at four o'clock on Monday
inermng, while she was in bed at her hotel.

THE BURNSIDE FLEET-ROANOKE ISLANDDESTI.
NATION OF THE EXPEDITION, ETC
We have been permitted to make the following
extracts from a private letter, which may serve to
throw some light upon the intentions of the great
Burnside armada;
BEA.uroar, Feb. 4, 1862.
The Safety Committee here sent down a messen
ger a few days since to Ocracoke for the purpose of
obtaining intelligence of the movement of the fleet
at natteras Inlet. The messenger reached Ocra
coke on the 2d inst. He reports that he was at the
Ocracoke lighthouse, distant twelve miles from Hat
teras Inlet. on Saturday, the Ist instant, and could
see distinctly with a glass. He observed that there
were fifty vessels over the smash, and in Pamlico
Sound there were thirty three steamers and seven
teen sail vessels. In addition to these, there were
about fifty vessels lying inside the inlet, including
seven large steamers. This statement is corrobo
rated by the pilot or Ocracoke, He also states that
he saw two schooners and one steamer south of that
inlet, R
and running down the beach towards etie
ras.
We have no doubt of the truth of this statement.
This same messenger, who was down at Hatteras
some days ago, conversed with eight Oeraeoke pilots
who were offered inducements by the officers of the
fleet to act as pilots for the Federals, but refused to
do so upon any terms. These pilots were taken on
board the Commodore's vessel and examined, apart
from each other, as to their knowledge of Croatan
Sound. This was the first question asked each one,
and from this fact, and the additional fact that the
Ocracoke pilots are well acquainted with the navi
gation of Croatan, Albemarle, and Chowan Sounds,
and not acquainted with the navigation of the Nonce,
we are induced to believe that the fleet is not at
present destined for any other point than Roanoke
Island. By this course the enemy will put himself
in position to get into the rear of Norfolk and cut
off our supplies, &c.
Our force at Newbern is very large. There are
many batteries on the south side, and navigation is
obstructed on the west. Burnside will meet with a
warm ttttptlon If lit gm there.
We entertain some fears ' however, that he may
land below Newbern, at Clalfort's or Adams'
creek, and take up his march here to isolate Fort
Macon ; for I cannot conceive that Newbern can
he of any advantage to the enemy, except to get
Fort Macon. I doubt that they will make a sea
attack upon Fort Macon, even if they succeed in
this. I cannot see what advantage the fort and har
bor can be to them, as they could not have an in
land navigation for their steamers through Cove
Sound, because they would be unable to get out on
account of the shallowness of the water.
A. few days since three Yankee soldiers came to
Ocracoke unarmed, and stated that they had been
wrecked at Hatteras. They said that eleven hun
dred Federal troops were encamped on the beach,
at the west side of Hatteras Inlet.
GEN. HALLECKI DEPARTMENT.
Fort Henry as a Strategic Point.
All the attempts yet made to describe and locate
Fort Henry have been failures, because all have
been mere or less inaccurate; and the iiiiportatido
of Fort Henry as a strategic point has been under
estimated. But, from the adroitness with which
the expedition against that point was conducted, it
is evident that Gen. Hatleek knows the minutest
fact about the territory which he is to occupy and
hold, MaPy pooplo will havo it still that Fort
Henry is in Kentucky. It is in Tennessee, in the
northwestern corner of the State, on the eastern
shore of the Tennessee river. By -courtesy it is
called a fort, but it is only an extemporaneous
fort, and has nothing but earthworks and
come batteries. At this point there in a
ferry Afton the alt=er, and this our forges
have taken possession of. The ferry connects
and continues the important line of railway from
Memphis to Clarksville, so that, this ferry in our
possession, the railway connection across the State
is cut off. By holding the ferry, we out off railway
communication between Columbus and Bowling
Green; in fact, General Grant controls at the ferry
nearly one half of the railways of Tennessee. He
is in the rear of Columbus, and in the rear of the
rebel General Buckner at Bowling Green. But as
General Halleck's command does not extend be
yond ~the Cumberland to the eastward, it is not to
be supposed that Gen. Grant has any immediate
designs upon Buckner. We shall soon expect to
bear, however, that Federal troops are departing
from the ferry for the investment of Columbus on
the land side.
With the aid of a map of a late date, the reader,
by the help also of the above description, can easily
judge of the immense importance of Fort Henry to
the .Federal cause.—Chicago Post.

doned the guns and fled with all possible speed.
The guns, six in number, were brought back to the
fort, and form a part of the property captured by
the loyal arms in almost bloodless viotory. The
number of position guns found in the fortification
was sixteen ; two of them had been dismounted by
our fire, and one bad burst.
It is reported that Colonel John A. Logan, who
wont toward the railroad crossing, took eight guns
and thirtylbroo pr44oller4 last Pight, _ _
Oen. Smith has captured the tents, ammunition,

Description of the Fight.
The gunboats approached the fort four abroart, in
the following order
The L•ssex on the right, then the Cincinnati,
Carondelet and St. Louis.
The fire was opened at one mile distant from the
fort, and continued while the boats steadily ad
vanced, until, when the fort surrendered, the boats
were but four hundred and fifty yards from the fort
The forward guns were the only ones used.
The rebel fire was directed principally at the
flagship—the Cineilmaii. She received thirty
one shots, chiefly damaging her whore not iron
plated. Tier chimneys, pilot house, after cabin,
and her boats were completely riddled. Two of
her guns were disabled. One was struck by a 63-
pounder on the muzzle. Another 32-pounder struck
on her side and dented the iron.
Our boats when don up, poured in the grape
shot with terrible effect. They fired no solid shot.
Some of the enemy's shots passed through the
bulkhead before the boilers, and exploded the mid
dle boiler, which did so much damage. The pilots
vainly endeavored to escape the ateam i but wore
suffocated,
Some of the seamen jumped through the port
holes to escape scalding, and were drowned. Those
are the missin g men.
Commodore Foot remained in the pilot house of
the Cincinnati during the whole action, perfectly
cool, but distressed at the eight of the Min leaping
from the Essex into the river.
The Cincinnati received thirty-one shots, s and
fired one hundred and ten shots, mostly shell.
The St. Louis was shot by seven shots. OZA
struck the pilet - house. ghe earn, cut 9t . light
unhurt, losing no lives.
The Carondelet also escaped unhurt.
The rebels first thought the Essex was the flag
ship, and directed their fire prhicipally at her. Af
terwards they discovered that the Cincinnati was
the flagship, and concentrated almost their whole
fire on her.
Capt. Miller, one of the prisoners, told Capt.
foal that within two weeks after Capt. Eads, of St.
Louis. had got specifications for the construc tion of
the Cinein,nati, he - read them, and knew just
svbere to bit her.
This accounts for the fact that the Cincinnati
was not hit at all where the iron plating was, but
was damaged chiefly in her upper works, and in
her port bulwarks.
The Cincinnati was a short ttistanco in the 14ad
during the whole fight, and presented a fair mark.
The rebel loss is stated by prisoners taken at sin
killed and nine or ten wounded.
General Tilghman bad only men enough in the
fort to man the guns, which numbered seventeen,
but eleven of which were brought to bear during the
light.
Two of the rebel officers came on board the Chi
ctunatz in small boats, and asked a conference with
Flag Officer Foot.
Captain Stembel, of the Cinrinnati, and Capt.
Phelps, of the Conestoga, returned with them,
and the former hoisted the American flag.
General Tilghman and staff then came on board
the Cincinnati, but they were afterwards put on
the Uncle Sam..
One Mgr the flog w himicil dm, No.
Grant took possession of the fort, capturing a large
quantity of valuable military stores and equipage.
There is no telegraphic communication with Padu
cah.
Our cavalry, immediately after the surrender of
rut Rory, mond the rebels, and complied
them to abandon a portion of their artillery, which
fell into our hands.
GENERAL HUNTER'S DEPARTMENT.
Important Interview with Loyal Indians.
[From the Leavenworth Conservative, Feb. 2.]
The importance of the interview between Com
missioner Dole and the Chiefs of the Seminoles,
Creeks, lowas, and Delawares, loyal Indians, at the
Planters' House yesterday, can hardly be over
estimated. There wore present Colonel William
G. Coffin, superintendent of the Southern Indians;
Major G. A. Cutler, agent of the Creeks; Major
W, F. M. Amy, agent of Indians in Now Ilioxioo ;
Major Snow, agent of the Seminoles ; Major Field
ing Johnson, agent of the Delawares ; Major litobt.
Burbank, agent of the lowas.
The Indians expressed great pleasure in seeing
Commissioner Dole. The Southern Indians said
their people had been drirettfrom home and wore
Suffering.
Mr. Dole. Government did not expect the Indians
to enter this contest at all. Now that the rebel
portion of them have entered the field, the Great
Father will march his troops into your country.
Col. Coffin and the agents will go with you on
Monday and will assist you in enlisting your loyal
men. Your enlistment is not done for our advantage
only ; it will inure to your own benefit. The coun
try appreciates your services. We honor you.
You are in our hearts.
One party tells us that John Ross is for the Union,
and one that he is not.
Opothleyoholo. Both are probably right. Ross
made a sham treaty with Albert Pike to save trou
ble. Ross is like a man lying on his belly, watch
ing the opportunity to turn over. When the
&Tama tr99p4 svinc within timing he will turn
over.
Dole. You did not, and our people remember you.
But we hope you will manifest no revenge.
Opothleyoholo. The rebel Indians are like a cross,
bad slut. The best way to and the breed is to kill
the shit.
Dole. The leaders and plotters of treason only
should suffer.
Opothleyoholo. That's just what I think. Burn
over a bad field ofass and it will spring up again.
m
it et bo torn llpiy Petite, coop if volll9 good
blades suffer. The educated part of our tribes is
the worst. I am glad Gen. Lane is going down
with us. He knows our wants. I hope the Govern
ment money will be paid us.
Dole. We cannot pay you until we know who of
yeti arc Union and who rebel,
Opotbleyoholo. Those left back there are not
loyal. We asked them to fight; we asked them to
come up to Kansas. They did neither. They didn't
help us in our time of trouble, and we won't help
them. They turned against the Government with
their eyes open. If we gain our land, we should
have it, and they nothing. We have talked it over
among ourselves, and concluded not to do anything
for them.
Dole. We cannot pay you until all your chiefs
are together, or substitutes elected, and a council
held.
Opothloyoholo. All those loft book there are So.
cesh.
Dole. I have not the power to use the money,
except in a legal and regular way. We will take
care of you, and the delay in paying you will be as
brief as possible.
°pealleyoholo. The Creeks hare 1,500 warriors
who want to fight for the Union.
Aluktustenuke (chief of the Seminoles). We have
260 warriors, and they will fight for the Great
Father.
Major Burbank (agent of the lowas). There are
about 50 warriors in the tribe; they want to know
on what oonditionsr.they cm raise DO men if they
unite with the Otoes, who speak the same lan
guage.
White Cloud acted as the interpreter.
Dole. The Great Father has decided to accept
your services to put down this rebellion in case it is
your pleasure to give your services. You will not
be expected to fight white men unless they are ar
rayed against loyal Indians. You will receive the
same pay as white men. The Government has not
horses. The red man is said to be fleet on foot, and
it seems to me that you ought to be able to go the
same as white men. We should not have called
upon you at all had not your own brothers been
driven from their homes, You go to their assist
ance, not ours.
Lagarash. We came down for our nation to find
out how it was, and we want to hear the straight.
I depend, on my nation; I sit with my ears open to
Lear what they will do.
Dole. Yea coo borote you Okothlvehele, who
has already been fighting for the Union ; now what
will you do t
Lagarash. I cannot tell what they will do? I am
ready.
Maishee. I only wait for my noighbors.
Tohec. It depends upon the nation.
Dole. Unless the chiefs speak out the warriors
will refuse to do so. Will you yourselves urge your
people to act?
Lagarash. We want to know how long the war is
to be and in what way we are to fight.
Dole. Not more than twelve months. As to the
manner of fighting—you can all draw a bead at 200
yards. r0717' way of Bighting will answer our pur
pose.
Lagarash. We want to go down there on horse
back.
Dole. We are going to send 20,000 white men on
foot.
Lagarash. Yes, that's the way white men fight;
Indiana don't. When we fight, we don't fight all
the time ; we don't want to fight so long. I think
we can end the war in one battle.
Dole. That will Emit ma. You are a large, noble,
and brave set of men. Let me hear you say that
you will be brave warriors, whether others are or
not.
Lagaraoh. I told you that whatoror my rather
limited mo to do I would do.
Mr. Dole arose and shook hands with the lowa
warrior. All present arose with them, and ex
pressed their approbation by silent eloquence.
Dole. When you go home, tell your warriors to
get ready and prepare to be as brave as in former
times, We may not want you for some time. Tall
them that their brother red men have been driven
from their homes, and they need your assistance.
If only white men were at war we should not call
upon you.
NEWS FROM THE SOUTH.
Virginia Legislature.
In the Virginia Legislature, on Wednesday, Mr.
Banks presented a petition from the members of
Bowyees Battery, of Bedford volunteers, now in
the army of the Potomac, protesting indignantly
against the Senate bill for the supply of Virginia's
quota to the Confederate army. The following is
a copy of one of the resolutions :
"That we would feel our cheeks burn with the
flush of shame were we to permit ourselves to be
drafted by the above bill, from, which the members
of the Legislature have excluded themselves, and
that, under such circumstances, we esteem it a foul
diagraoe to fight under the flag of our State, and
that, rather than submit to it, we will re-enlist in
companies from other States, and not suffer the
proud fame of Virginia volunteers, who have ever
been fereMegt where dangers wars thickest, and
who have won for themselves an immortality at
Bethel, Manassas Plains, and Leesburg, to be dis
graoed by a draft of their State, who thus rewards
their gallantry by such a want of confidence in
them."
Prisoners of War.
[From the Richmond Dispatch, Feb. B.]
Our special telegram from Norfolk advises us that
the Linealn Government has decided that our pi
vateersmen are prisoners of war, and offers to ex
change them for the hostages hold by tho Confede
rate authorities. Whether these terms will be ac
cepted or not remains to be seen; but as there Is a
disposition fo inaugurate a general exchange of pri
tionorti, it is within the range, of possibility that Col.
Corcoran and his E , compatriots , ' may soon regain
their liberty, and the South, to that extent, be re
lieved of a harden.
Defences of Savannah, Ga
The Wilmington journal thus discourses of the
defences of Savannah,
Fort Pulaski, on Cockspur Island, at the mouth
of the Savannah river,
is a strong casemated work,
which it is believed the enemy can neither pass,
take, nor starve out. All large vessels must came
pro* its guns. The whole space between the city
and the ocean is cut up and intersected by rivers,
creeks, and openings. How many of these have
been obstructed, and how, isnot for us to say.
Wall's Cut is an opening from Port Royal into
the Savannah river, with some two or eight feet
depth at high water, This cut opens into the Sa
vannah river about six miles above Fort Pulaski,
and, of course, out of the range of its guns. Into
this cut the enemy's light gunboats had come, and
were trying to force their way into the Savannah
river, but bad not succeeded at the latest dates.
On the (leorgia aide of the river the Lineolnitee
have availed themselves or two openings, known as
Wilmington creek and Traebornels Cut, connecting
Warsaw Sound with Augustine creek or river, and
from thence with Savannah river. These two open
ings run for some distance through the marsh, quite
near to the main river, say within half a mils, and
this at a point opposite Wall's Cut - , and about two
miles from it. It was between these vessels in the
cuts on both sides of the Savannah river that Tat
tall's fleet had to pass co their way to Fort Pulaski,
on Tuesday of last week, and resolved a heavy axe
from the voceolo of both MCC.
Of the nature of the precautions taken to prevent
the enemy's vessels getting from these cuts into the
main river we cannot speak. By the time they get
in they will find means of resistance which their
Mall craft will not be able to Overcome,
Skidaway is a large island, lying parallel with
the main, is about twelve miles from the city, and
is connected with the main land by bridges. This
point attracts much attention recently, as there is a
heavy draft of water there, and from eight to
twenty vessels, soma armed, and some steamers
filled with troopS, have bean there for the last ten
days or two weeks. This is regarded as a point
where the enemy might attempt a landing, with a
view of trying to reach the city by land.
Gen BUittirdgaitd'a New Petition.
The Petersburg (Va.) Express, in its issue of Sn.
turday, professes to have the most reliable authority
for stating that this distinguished officer has been
assigned to the command of our forces at New Or
leans. it says :
despatch was received in this city, Thifrsday
nigt, by a military gentleman of high position
from Manassas, signed by Gen. 8., announcing this
fact. Since it has been known that he has been
transferred from the army of the Totems . ; there
eon le no impropriety rat stating that Arm Or.
leans will be the scene of his future operations,
and we, therefore, do not hesitate to give it publi
city in these columns.
What the Rebels Think of their Rela-
tions in Europe.
[From the Charleston Mercury, Feb. 3.]
GREAT BRITAIN AND OUR LATE NORTHERN CON-
DIM=
The people of the South have never compre
hended the odium which has been unceasingly
attached to their institutions in England. They are
ignorant of the extent to which the Northern press
and Northern writers have stimulated and fortified
the abolition sentiment of the British people.
Southern politicians, in the history of the 'United
States, got office, The Northern people, through
the Central Government, got banks, Urine, naviga
tion acts, bounties, and large expenditures of money
by the Government for national improvements.
Centres of credit, manufacturing establishments,
and trade were created in that section. Towns grew
to be groat sides commerce end bildittfeetittea
flourished. The people thrived, and the European
world sent its surplus
_population to participate in
the benefits of this El Dorado, created out of very
ordinary natural advantages, only through the be
neficent operation of this model republican Govern
ment. While the North thus grew, and became
rich and strong, the South, unfortunately, became
constantly weak, by comparison—more and more
provincial and dependent. Our merchants ceased
to import for our markets, our factors to export for
foreign markets, Everything came from the North,
or through the North. Everything, even cotton, went
to the North for exportation abroad. By the working
of a consolidated government made subservient to
the pecuniary interests of the North, foreign compe
tition was killed off, the people got lucrative em
ployment, the cities of that section became the cen
tres of credit and ()haunch of trade, both foreign
and domestic ; Southern cities became mere feeders,
conducts, depots or suburbs for Northern prosperity
and increase. Great centres of trade necessarily
became centres of influence in opinion. The press
of the North, the literature of the North. no less
than their other marketable commodities, have
freely circulated and exercised great sway at the
South. The Southern public has been dependent
on the North in these respects. And abroad, the
newspapers and beaks of New York, Boston, and
Philadelphia have alone represented the country,
from the St Lawrence to the Rio Grande. Row
the South and her institutions have farad in this
representation, we are practically seoiug and feel
ing now. The teachings of the Tribunes, 2'imeses,
Heralds—of the " Uncle Tom's Cabins" and the
Crisis"—are not recent. They are the instruc
tions of thirty years. It is from theie etudoeS,
during that period, that British opinion
bas been forming, and is formed. Need we
wonder that we are misrepresented, misunderstood,
and disliked in our institution? It is, to a great
degree, the work of a consolidated government, by
its effects upon the status of sections—their pros
perity, their independence. We are learning a les
son as valuable as it is costly.
But, however strong the prejudice, however great
the ignorance in regard to the Confederate States,
iu Groat Britain, we aro strong enough to out - Viva
and overoome them. Manifest interest and the ne
cessities of our trade afford ground, too, for believ
ing that a large portion of the British public are
open to conviction, and anxious to know the favo
rable truth about us. Not all England will approve
the brutal and wanton assault Upon Messrs. Mason
and Slidell lately . made by the London Times.
Whether it be designed by the Government to an
ticipate and defeat anything like an enthusiastic
reception of the Confederate Commissioners, it will
certainly create a strong feeling in their favor in
certain quarters; where the good will of the South
is deemed important. Such ill-bred denunciation
must disgust the hitherto indifferent, while it will
stimulate the friendly and interested. We are not,
therefore, at all discomposed by the extraordinary
vulgarity of the Times. The South has something
more important to the peace and comfort of Eng
land than the theoretioal philanthropy of Barlobooli-
Gha. Possessing that, we can give her people and
Government the choice between great approaching
distress, and a suppression of their apriori senti
ments about other people's private affairs. When
we have time and opportunity we may correct such
errors.
MISCELLANEOUS WAR NEWS.
From the Upper Potomac.
FAPDERICK, Feb. 10.—Everything has been quiet
along Col. Geary's lines since the prompt retribution
for the murder of Rohr. The indignation here and
along the river at the dastardly act is intense, and
a hasty punishment will be inflicted upon the indi
vidual perpetrators if they are caught. Mr. Rehr's
body was interred hero yesterday. The funeral
services were performed in the German Reformed
Church in presence of a large number of officers,
eitizens, and soldiers.
On Saturday night a ruiner gained some credence
here that a large body of the enemy ware aro
proaching the Ferry, and had planted seven pieces
of ordnance on Bolivar Heights, near Smallwood's
Woods, but it proves to have been unfounded.
Last night was much colder than has been expo
!kneed for two weeks, and the sun shines out beau
tifully clear this morning.
SANDY HOOK, Feb. 10.—On Saturday, a flag of
truce came down to the Ferry with the body of
Carlisle, who was shot the other day, but Colonel
Geary told them to bring it over in their own boats
The body, however, has not yet been brought over.
There is no news of interest from any point.
Arrival of Gen. Stone in New York.
The New York Fierald of yesterday says:
Captain Snyder, of the Third United States regu
lar infantry, recently detailed to the staff of Gen.
Sykes, commanding a brigade of regulars in the
division of General Andrew Porter , Provost Mar
shal of Washington, arrived in New York early
yesterday morning, having in custody Brigadier
General Charles P. Stone, recently in command of
the division of the United States army stationed
at Peolesville t on the Upper Potomac.
In order to avoid exciting suspicion, both osicer
and prisoner were directed by Provost Marshal
General Porter to travel in citizen's dress. Upon
their arrival Captain Snyder proceeded at once
with General Stone to Fort Lafayette, and com
mitted him to the charge of the commanding officer
of that post.
General slow expressed surprise at his arrest.
He declares that he is entirely innocent of having
ever committed any act of disloyalty, and asserts,
with seeming confidence, that he has no fears of
the consequences; and will soon be at liberty again
if justice is done him.
Great complaint has been made against the Gene
rid if late, Is muse he ordered come slaves to be
sent back to Mr. Smoot, who Is an extensive miller
on the Virginia side '
opposite to Poolesville, and
also because General Stone has allowed Smoot to
run his mill day and night for the accommodation
of the rebel army, when it could easily haie been
destroyed by the guns of General Stone. These
facts may have something to do with the General's
arrest. It is stated that General Stone's reason for
not destroying Smoot's AM is, that the latter is a
loyal man, as an evidence of which ant the rebels
seized and confiscated all of his horses, and would
not allow his nogrooa to go back when wont under
our flag of truce. General Stone's departure from
Washington, and passage through Baltimore and
Philadelphia were very quiet, so much so that
they were not even known.
The Army at and Near Romney, Va.
The Wheeling Press, of the 10th inst., says :
For two or three dayra various rumors have
reached the city respecting the reoccupation of
Romney and the probabilities of an early advance
upon Winchester. The sum of them all is that Rom
ney has been reoccupied, arid Lander has thrown
outposts upon the Moorefield and Blue's Gap roads.
So soon as the roads wilt permit, and concert of ac
tion from Banks' column can be secured, no doubt
the country , will be entirely cleared between Rom
ney and Winchester by two distinct detachments
diverging at Moorefield, and uniting thereafter at
the junction of the Mooteftold and Northwestern
TWO CENTS.
turnpike with the mem body of the forces, which
will take the direct road via Blue's Gap.
" With complete preparations of force, and equip
age, and a clearance of all the region roundabout,
as they progres s , _there is no doubt but a union of
the forces of Lander from Romney, Banks from
Martinsburg, and Wilson from B.ancock, could be
accomplished within two days from the commence
ment of their movements. The enemy, however,
will probably be prepared for the attack, as they
cannot have made their last retreat from Romney
with any other expectation, and their facilities for
procuring reinforcements are ample. So we may
expect to hear of a heavy engagement near or at
Winchester, as soon as the weather will permit."
The Wheeling Intelligencer, of the jlOta inst.,
says:
"There were rumors afloat in the city on Satur
day and yesterday, as to the movements of our
troops in the vicinity of Romney. It was said that
a considerable number of the enemy were sur
rounded at Blue's Gap and would certainly be
taken. It is certain that a general advance has
been made by our troops from Patterson's Creek,
New Creek and other points, but whether it was to
get out of the mud or engage the enemy in battle,
we, of course, do not know, and shall have to await
reliable information."
Forward Movement Rumors in the
Capital
A Washington despatch to the New York World
says:
The city is again filled with rumors predicting all
manner of forward movements in every direction.
It is known that Col. Thomas A. Scott, Assistant
Secretary of War, has been in Indiana and Ohio to
make arrangements for the use and occupancy of
the rollins stock of the Cleveland, Columbus, and
Cincinnati Railroad Company, as well as other coin=
panies connected therewith, for the period of six
consecutive days, but when to commence is not
stated. Orders have also been issued from the War
Department forbidding army officers to go home on
furlough. The inference, of course, is there is to he
an important movement of a very large body of
troops. In what direction, of course, is not known,
but it is surmised that the object is to add to Gen. Bu
ell's force. The recent law of Congress, authorizing
the Government to take possession of railroads and
the rolling stook. will, in this movement, for the first
time be put in operation. It is also rumored that
important news may soon be expected from General
Lander's division. Ho has taken Romney, but evi
dently has no intention of staying there. It is be
lieved his force is now in the neighborhood of Win
chester. This may Mean a Air& movement on
Manassas, but the prevalent impression is that it
simply relates to the opening of the Baltimore and
Ohio road. A large body of our troops are to be
thrown across the upper Potomac to participate in
this movement. and. once across , is very doubt
ful whether they will have occasion to return. In
the high country of the upper Potomac I learn that
dry winds have prevailed, and that the ground is
now in a position to bear heavy artillery.
Commodore Foote.
Commodore Foote has sent to Chicago for two
hundred men for the gunboats, and says if they aro
furnished speedily he will attack Columbus, take it,
and sweep the Tennessee river.
'enerat stone's column
Colonel Gorman, of the Minnesota First, has been
put in temporary command of Stone's column. He
at once proceeded to shell the rebels away from an
earthwork they were throwing up on the opposite
aide of the Potomac, at Edwardle Ferry he ar•
rested a known rebel spy, whoa General Stone had
defended, and took other active measures against
the rebels in the vicinity of his command. Some of
the parties formerly near to General Stone have
also been placed under surveillance.
The facts in Stone's career and hie military action
tor the last six months certainly require explana
tion, particularly as regards the Ball's Bluff affair
(the facts in which are so familiar to the public),
and also in reference to still later communications
with the enemy across the river.
Major General Hitchcock,
The New York Tribune, alluding to the nomina-
tion of Ethan Allen Hitchcock as major general of
volunteers, says:
He was immediately ordered by telegraph to take
command at Cairo. General Hitchcock is a grand.
son of old Ethan Allen, and was born in Vermont.
He was educated at West Point and was assistant
adjutant general to General Scott in Mexico, where
he reached the rank of brigadier general by brevet.
Soon afterward Jeff Davis, then Secretary of War,
Sntalelled With Lira, and he wax obliged to resign.
ince his resignation be has resided in retirement at
St. Louis. He is considered among the very ablest
officers in the service ; is a Green Mountain boy in
all noble senses of the word ; is a thoroughly reli
gious and anti-slavery man. His appointment Irm
auired by General lialleok.
WALKS AND TALKS.
[For The Prose.)
d As I walked by myself :
to 'muff,
And thus myself said to me,"
lam a great walker—no ! but have been ; for,
a dweller in this military metropolis, Washington,
I cannot now make much progress in any direc
tion without encountering a charged bayonet.
My body-guard, known as the army of the Poto•
mac, is so careful to protoct me from "mine
enemies " that I am likely to dio, from want of
sufficient exercise, within the living prisen of my
lovers. still, so far as the city extends, and even as it
is represented on the map, may I pass freely - . In
this limit, narrow though it be for my custom,
much is to be seen ; yes, and far more now than
ever—which brings me to the second important
point, namely ;
lam a great talker. Be not alarmed, for, though
from the belvedere of my home the white wings
and budding bosom (what else is the unfinished
cupola?) of the Capitol are in glorious view, still
I make no speeches—l am not a "Itepresent4tive
man !"
So, in my walks, I see things seldom seen by
other people ; perhaps too small for their largo
eyes, which, as a general case here, are devoted to
self-survey, not always, I fear, for the purpose of
self-amendment.
So, in my talks—
" But come, shall we walk and talk together I"
It may not properly be called walking, being
more a series of leaps and runnings, flounderings,
wadings, and standintstills. We are in the midst
of the snowing, raining, hailing season, and the
streets are mud, mud, mud. We are in the midst
of galloping war-horns, ponderous artillery, and
long, long trains of rumbling wagons. As they pass,
see ! At every corner is stationed a lancer to
maintain order, his lance, with its small, red flag
"in rest," but not as the meaning of ancient
knights, for it is behind him, yet ready,
at a moment, itbd his terrible shining
sword speaking authority. Horse and rider
both are spattered with yellow clay—somewhat de
tracting from the picturesque ; but the useful re
mains. For example : how soon yonder lancer
brought back to the line of duty that ambitious
teamster, who, having o'erfreely tasted of the for
bidden waters, urged his laboring horses, by shOut
and whip, into a gallop, till they zig-zagged the
broad street, nor were confined even there, but
plunged along the sidewalk, to the pail of pedes
trians ! And now a drunken soldier (such things
will be) rides furiously by. There is a faster rider
than he ! His rein is suddenly grasped. He looks
a dull look of astonishment. He is still a moment;
big p9ptirig horse turned ; 4009101111100
the arrested trooper slowly, slowly back the way he
came so wildly—and they will leave him only at
the prison-door.
Here is a battle for the Lancers ! Three of them
dash forward to their duty. Dangerous, indeed, it
is ; but they conquer, Little remains of the wagon
—the wreck is scattered far—but the fearful rush
of the frightened horses is over, and the peril of
the startled crowd : no ! a bleeding form! a run
ning to and fro for surgeons. A child presses through
the excited throng, calling "Mother !" Mgrs ig
no answer. Will there ever again be one?
Such scenes are presented here too often, but we
have witnessed more of them to-day than usual.
In some degree they _are inevitable, inseparable
from the assembling together of an army. All that
foresight and energy mu do to prevent them is
done. The military and the city guard eo-operate,
and his Honor of Washington and the Commander
in-chief are alike anxious and watchful to preserve
the peace of the metropolis throughout this tumultu
ous time.
We are in front Of the War Department. Hew
simple, but impressive, now it stands in its garden
of snow, among its ice-armored trees ! From those
wide-spreading boughs drop by drop falls the melt
ing burden—falls on the tents that surround the
old edifice, falls on the blue surtout and the ,re
versed gun of the sentinel, as he gowli walks' be
fore the gate.
That was a curious dialogue we heard :
" Who lives there?" inquired a stranger, point
ing to the War Department.
"An uncle of mine," replied the citizen ad
dressed,
"Your undo ? Them tents, too, in his garden.
lie must have a great turn for soldier-things, I
reckon." •
"Rather," was the triumphant answer, as the
communicative nephew darted into his uncle's
dwelling.
As we are also relatives, let us enter—especially
as I happen to have business here to-day.
We will give our cards to the doorkeeper of this
room, the office of the assistant adjutant general,
Capt. Cteorge D. Ruggles ; but we must wait
awhile, probably, for admission, so numerous are
the visitors. Now is our opportunity. Here, all
day, and every day, is a constant throng—officers
from the army of the Potomac; from each of the
other armies ; private soldiers, some wounded and
on °rata.= payiniuiten, and Othoi !Arad of wa
ters; surgeons, to disable one for this world;
chaplains, to qualify one for the next. Who
comes not hither? What multifarious business
does this room witness ! The words of its
presiding officer breathe joy or disappoint
ment for many—for many throughout the
land. Now a question; now an answer, prompt
and decisive ; now an order to one of his crowded
clerks; a consent; a refusal: and so the hours
pass on, and still the indefatigable captain is calm,
is courteous :
-- 46 To all he smiles extends ;
Oft he rejects, but never once ottenda) ,
We have lingered here so long that the night is
upon us,
“And so, without more circumstance ;stall,
I hold it meet that we Ohako hands and part."

Earl Russell's Reply to Secretary Seward's
Letter on the Trent Affair,
& C.,
The steamship .T' r, which left Liverpool on
the 30th ult. ? and Londonderry on tin flot, arriTed
at Portland, Maine, at a late hOttr on Monday
night. We were unable to obtain her news in time
for yesterday morning's edition, and we therefore
lay the principal items of her intelligence before
our roadors this morning.
iGItEAT
Mason and Slidell had arrived at Southampton.
No demonstration was made on their arrival. The
former went to London, and the latter to Paris.
The iEgna,which left Liverpool on the 20th, put
_
into tht. /Atha night, with her fore
compartment full of water, buying been in collision
with the ship Cheviot. The steamer Edinburg%
was coaling at Liverpool, to take forward the
!Etna's passengers and cargo, if necessary.
The steamer La Plata, with Mason and BUM
on boaid, arrfrod at Southampton on the 20th.
The Times remarks that both gentlemen will
probably keep themselves iierfectly quiet and wait
events that are at hand Although there is a large
party in the House of Commons which will endea
vor to urge on the Government a pansy bf ifilei
ference in the American struggle, the envoys will
do well to maintain a c( masterly ivaetivity.'
A Southampton letter says that the released pri
soners complain of having received bad treatment
in the prison at Boston.
The steamer - Tuscarora, as antioipated, left
Southampton on the morning of the 29th. tier des
tination was unknown. She brought up in Yar
mouth /thuds,
Isle of Wight, where she remained
at the latestdates.
Rumors were current at Southampton that bath
the Tuscarora and the Nashville hod been ordered
away, and that the latter would probably leave on
the 30th. The reports, however, lacked confirma
tion.
Thg h 9 Pd 411 illvriting Advertiser states, in the
most positive terms, that, until the 23d of January,
it was the full intention of the Emperor Napoleon
to announce ' in his speech, his resolution to abolish
the Federal blockade; but a change of programme
was made, at the instance of Earl Rowell, win
deemed it politic to defer doing anything for a few
weeks. The Emperor, therefore, alluded to the
question in his speech in a manner that would bind
him to nothing.
The Advertiser also says that all the co-opera
tion which Napoleon asked from England was her
moral co-operation.
THE TRENT AFFAIR.
The following is the report taken out by the
steamer .A'tna for New York
Earl Russell, in a despatch dated the gm or
nuary, to Lord Lyme, says the English Govern=
meat differs entirely from Mr. Sewar 's conclusions
on, the question whether the persons taken from
the Trent, and their supposed despatches, were
contraband.
lie argues the point at length, and points out the
injurious consequeneen of such A laW, Poi in-
stance, according to Mr. Seward's doctrine, a
packet carrying a Confederate agent from Dover to
alais might be captured and taken to New York,
and, in a like manner, the Confederates might cap
ture a Cunard steamer bound from Liverpool to
lialifar, on the ground that she was eair-ying de
spatches to Mr. Seward from Mr. Adams. rho Bri
tish Government would not acquiesce in the cap
ture of any British ship in circumstances similar to
those of the Trent, and the fact of its being brought
for adjudication before the
. prize court, thugh
altering the character, would not diminish the
gravity of the offence.
The despatch concludes with a reference to Mr.
Seward's declaration, that if the safety of the Union
required it, it would have been right to detain the
Trent prisoners , In reply to this , Earl Rumen
says;
cGroat Britain could not have permitted the
perpetration of that wrong, however flourishing
might have been the insurrection in the South,"
Another despatch gives Lord Lyons' conversation
with Secretary Seward on the Charleston blockade.
Mr: Seward stated that the plan was not devised
to injure the harbor permanently, but merely to
aid the blockade. It would be the duty of the
Government to remove all the obstructions as soon
as the Union was restored. The harbor of Charles
ton was not inaccessible.
Mr Seward was not prepared to say that, as an
operation in war, it wag unjustifiable to destroy
permanently the harbor of an enemy,
FRANCE.
Napoleon opened the French Chambers en the
27th. In his speech on that occasion ho said
"The civil war which desolates America has
greatly compromised our commercial interests. Be
long, however, as the rights of neutrals are re
spected, we must covfne ourselves to expressing
ulshes for an early tervanation of these dis
sensions."
The speech refers to the pacific relations of
France with ether Governments, AEA 4416itiritulates
the financial programme of Minister Fotild's budget.
Some of the .English journals construe the al
lusion to America into something like a threat, and
say it is significant that France is impatient, and,
when the 99GIINIM Appears to demand it, will in.
terfere.
The Bourse was higher. The rontes were quoted
at 71f. 300.
The diplomatic correspondence between France
and Rome has been published.
Franco recommends conciliation with the Court
of Turin. Cardinal Antonelli absolutely refused all
terms.
There were contradictory rumors of an enlarged
French expedition to Mexico.
The Parte corropondent of the Times says great
misery prevails in some of the large bilihufaCturing
and commercial towns of France, and would pro
bably increase if the American war continues.
RUSSIA.
The Journal de St. Petersburg of the 29th pub
lishes a note, slated the 21st of January, from Prince
G ortsehak off to Baron Stokel, at Washington, stating
that the Emperor has, with deep satisfaction, seen
his anticipation confirmed by the determination of
the Federal Government to deliver up Mason and
Slidell.
The Emperor hopes, the same wisdom Hat i mode
ration will Ode the steps of the Federal Govern.
meat in its interior policy, and expresses his con
victions that the Federal Government will, in car
rying out that policy, also place itself above popu
lar passion.
The Emperor also states that he should, with
great satisfaction, see the Union reconstructed by
eoneillatory reettelifee, as the maintenance of Ame
rican power influences, in a considerable degree,
the general political equilibrium.
ITALY
A letter from Turin, of January 28, says that
dii lags tha thaw praodiag days the deserts of
Genoa bad been amused by the evolutions of the
pirate Sumpter, steaming to and fro between Vol

Genoa was a matter of much speculation.
The troops which embarked at Toulon. Brest,
and Cherbour& were to leave for Vera dm on
the 29th, 30th, and Met.
The Paris Patrie publishes an article on the can
didature of Archduke Maximilian for the throne or
Mexico, which says it is expected that when the
Mexican question shall be settled it will be possible
to offer Austria satisfactory territorial compensa
ties in eaahaaga for vassetia.
It is rumored that the Porto, fearing that Gari
baldi might effect a landing on the Adriatic coast,
sent a superior officer to Omar Paola, instructing
him, under such circumstances, to act in concert
with the Austrian commander.
