Tile Re-Enlistment of Volunteer..
When the At:aerie.= people first rallied to
suppress the slave-liolders rebellion, the
nations regarded the spActaele as the most sub
lime 'ever offered for 'their contemplation.
But those uprisings are not to be compared
in sublimity to that whiCh is presented in the
re-enlistinents of those same men. Referring
to this subject, a cotemporary eloquently ob
serves that the grand rally of the royal citi
zens of the Nortlt, three years ago, in re
sponse to the call of the President for volun
teers, was justly regarded the,sublimest spec
tacle which hi4l been witnessed in our history
since the revolution. But ,that glorious spec
tacle is, in
.our judgment, matched by that
which we are now witnessing in the re-enlist
ment of those same loyal volunteers, or rather
of such of them as have survived the attacks
of 'disease and the shocks of a score of battles.
From whatever State they dome, in,-Whatever
fields they are now serving, whateVer, hard
ships _they may have endured, ,they are swear
ing, not by tells of scores, but by 'whole reg,i :
=tents, to stand by the Rag for.which they'
have so long "and so bravely- fought, until, its
supremacy over every rood of her soil is fully
established. They might say—and could we
blame them or think it strange, if they say—
"we enlisted with no - bounties, or very small
ones were paid.. We shave fough.t through the
hardest part of the war. Nobody supposes
that it will last three years .1110112. We have
been separated from our families.and :friends.
We have Veen receiving only thirteon dollars
a month, while
. you home are enriching'
yourselves.. 'lt is now,your turn to go to the
front and ours , to stay at home. We have
done our part of the work. Now go and do
This. language„ they might use, - and with
justice, too. But-do we hear it from their
lips ? Not at .all. They do indeed come
home and invite and urge their neighbors and
riends to take up arms. But they say "come,"
instead. of "go." They request us to fall into
the ranks; with them to fill up their regiMents,
depleted by the many months of hard service,
and standing shoulder to shoulder with them,
to make the last,, the .fincti onset upon the now
tottering rebellion." - - .
The Adi-aittatie of Enlisting at Hoene
We,hopelhat.our patriots who are at%pre
sent re-enlistingwill remember that they will
not only receive
. e bounty of TWO 11171TDREADI
DOLLARS from the city, but that their families
or parents also receive their due proportion of
the Relief Fitnd paid. by the county. If they
should go to, Philadelphia or neighboring
counties, they will not be entitled to receive
their,weekly allowance paid by the county of
Dauphin. - This fund is only distlibuted to
those - ito'enlist from this county, and are
mailed to the aame.
Our neighboring tosinship, Susquehanna,
has hadits quota filled two week since;and we
hope thit ere two weeks elapse, the, city Will
have its full quota in the field.
Tun. Ditiez'RE3ioE.—Nritile Messrs:. Ewing,
Gantt, Field, Phillips,' and' others ; who have
taken part in the rebellion, are accepting, and

could be expected under the circumstances,

The Diplcimat4e Correspondeiiii. *,
The correspondenee . of the State Department
with its ministers and foreign governments,.
for the last year, is remarkably interesting, SO
far as-it han.obtsintd nuhlicatiOn, and exceed
ingly satisfactory; Tleltone; 'meitOained by
Mr. Seward in hikeliecnOien cf - theattestitink
at i551:1.0 with, foreign powers is -au-,admitable
as the ability displayed. Unable,;as We are to
publish any considerable part of the cones
- pondence, we propase to glean from it a few
examples of this one prominent fact.
Writing to Mr. Adams, on the Bth of De
cember, 1842, iii refeience to the reieciiition
movement of Louis Napoleon, Mr. Seward
_ .
"It is now apparent to observing and eon
.siderate men that -rio Euroiman State is as
really capable to do us harnras we are cepa.
ble to - defend ourselves. There is, moreover,
a general conviction that we have deserved
peace and friendship at the hands of all
nations, and that if war must come from any .
foreign quarter, our cause will be, a just one,
and - such a war would rather strengthen the
Union than add to its present dangers. The
time,, therefore, is a propitious one for the res
toration of harinonkins relatiOns - between the
Thaited States and - Great Britain. It will be
through her own fault, not &dm, if -the-resto
ration does not come. = All thatstands in the
way of it is the injurioni attitude of arme,d
neutrality bet Ween the _United - States• and a
doinehtio faction that is seeldng their-over
throw—a, neutrality' that L as we think,' was
unnecessarily 'proclaimed, and has resulted . in
making British Ports a base feeble yet
irritating arid vexatious maritime war against
this country„ British slips and even Heists
ride in our ports free, honored, and respectd.
Armed vessels of the Unitedttate.s are alloivecl
t • only restricted entrance, with irritating c9P-'
ditions, in British ports, colonial as well as
doinestic, when they arc sent to watch 4 the ap'-
pearance privately armed, hostile expedi
tious sent out froni those ports by or through
the activity of British subject e s--an activity.
which, although forbidden, is nevertheless
praCticed with imptinity, and' in di3fiance of
mur_icipal law as'well as,,interriatienal jubilee.
It no longer rests IWth thiacOuntrY to sug
gest remedies fox this evil. All that could be
suggested on. that , subject has be CD offered and
reiterated. - - .The whole rasp may be Summed
up . in" this i The United States claim, and
they must continually claim, that in This war,
they are a hole sovereign nation , . - and enti
tled to the same respect us such that they ac
cord to Great Britain. GreatßAtain does not
treat them as - smili a sovereign, and hence all
the evils that disturb their nitereoune and
endanger their fiiendship. ' Great Britain jus
tifies her course and Perseveres. The United
States does not admit the justification, and
so they are obliged to complain and stand
upon their guard. Those in either country
who desire to see the- nation remain in, this
relation arc not well-advised friends of , eitlier
of them."
From another dispatch- of the same date,
it appears that Air. Ac..!so , H had Nreviously
been instructed .te present -demands to the
British Government for reparation of the' ditm;',.
age inflicted upon American commerce by the
pirate "290,." or Alabama,' Mr. Seward writes
to him :
"You have rightly judged, that it is no part,
of the purpose of this Government to harrass
that of Great Britain by impatient demands
for the immediate adjustment of the claims
for petuniary reparation. The purpose first:
is, prevention of similar injuries hereafter. It'
is clear that there will soon be no commerce
left to the United States if the transactions of
the . "290" are to be repeated and 'reiterated
without check and impunitY.
"It Ought not to be doubted in Great Bri
tain that a people, who are only second in
commerce to the British nation itself,' cannot
:quietly consent to a wrongful strang,ifiation of
their foreign trade.
" NOtiees have already been received at
Department of the intention of some foreign
powers to demand redress and reparation for
commercial. depredations on innocentforeign
els which have been committed by, the in
surgents, although they were committed:by.
citizens who were at the time in a state of
armed insurrection and defiant hostility,
againsi the Federal authority. Be3:iond doubt„
we have.no sufficient answer to such claims if.
we hid 'telerafed or excused, or • failed to put
forth all the efforts of the Government to-pre
vent, the acts of piracy complained 'of. How
does _the case of the "290" differ from what, ;. under ether circumstances,w ould bc our own?
Great Britain is mistress in her own ports.ruid
waters. We cannot enter those ports and
waters with armed force."
On the 9th of March, 18e8, the destruction
of the ship Jae.c4) Bell, with her enormously
valuable cargo, calls .from Mr. Seward this
plain and, significant language. •
"The recent capture and - destruction of the
Jacob Bell,' with her cargo, valued at one 'and
- a half million, by the' piratical steam vessel,
.the Florida:, fitted out and dispatched from
Liverpool, is regarded by the merchants in
our seaports as indicating nothing less than
a destruction of our national navigittinginter
est, unless that calamity can be prevented by
either the enforcement of the neutrality law of
Great Britain, or the engloyment of an ade
quate force mailer commissions of marque and
reprisal. Congreas has- conferred - upon the
President =pie power fer the execution of
the latter measure, and the necessary arrange
-merits for it are now engaging the attention of
the proper - departments: is not without
great •rehictimace that the President is coining
to the adoption of that policy. But the :pre
.servation,..of the national life is a supreme n'et ,
,eessity; and if there shall be no improvement
in, the 'condition of things to which I:have ad•

But the,Plaineet intimations and the most
spirited language_which we find. in tho cor

into the. portawliich thhs, in violation of the
law'of nations and the' Obligations of neutral
ity, become harbors for the pirates? The
President, very distinctly, perceives the risks
and and hazards which a naval conflict thus
mentioned will bring to the commerce and
even to the peace, of, the two countries. lint
he is Obligedto consider that in the case sup
posed the destruction of our commerce will
probably amount to a naval war waged by a
portion, at, least, of the British nation against
the Government and thapeople of the United
States—a war tolerated, although not de-glar
