TAN WAY 2V WAR WITH ENGLAND.
„The manifest inclination of the British govern-
Mini to biterfere in per domestic troubles, and
the haste with which the English nation de
rolti the firm and prompt manner in which
the officeoi of the Trent were treated by an
detcan war vessel, have elicited such a feel
ing in this country, as no time or diplomacy
Can ever obliterate. Every man feels that the
Blush government his been lurking in our
giLrions path of progress for just such an op
portunity to heap insult on our name, and now
the question runs from lip to lip How can we fight
Great Briley; so as immediately to affect her interests
mid her dettinice? We cannot do so on the battle
field sow—but of that hereafter, if God, who
hie made preserves us as a nation. We
must approach the British Lion in some other
manner than over the battle field, and there
fore we were pleased with an incident which
came to our ears yesterday through the channels
of w casual conversation. The incident coll
et* in the following facts : A number of gen
tl'eme'n were engaged in discussing the state of
oUr foreign relations yesterday morning, when
the Absorbing theme was, of course, the haughty
and dictatorial position which England assu
med towards this government. While discuss.
ink phis position, a proposition was made that
the individuals present pledge themselves to re
*Wpm alipurchasesof English manufactured
goods, and in no transaction, to encourage their
sale or use. Of course the pledge was a mere
oallonnial understanding, but it has a meaning
and a Sigrdicance which, we trust, wilt not be '
allowed to diminish. It is an effective way in ,
which to wax with John Bull It strikes
through the easement of his pocket right at the
heezt of every Englishman. It hits his pounds
shilling and pence, and if vigorously conducted,
will bring him to his knees, sooner than if a
hundred thousand bayonets were pointed at his
deceitful breast.
The people of the free states consume an im
mense quantity of goods manufactured in Eng
land, every single article, of which can be pro
duced in this country in some shape to answer
our purposee. This trade amounts in the ag
ate to an immense sum, sufficient to defray
a. large portion of the expenses of the British
governments which, if the American people are
cfattrue : themselves in every commercial
translation, could be transferred to the British
masse, and thus we would repay the brew Wig
min* who esteem the motion of a cotton loom
=importance than the existence of a
public. This entire trade could be de
stroyed quickly, steadly, and surely, if the
loyal men and women of die land would re
solve to refrain from the use of all imported
arc's manufactured in Great Britain. The
would 'be the most insignificant
when compared with the results it
it would produce, and we verily believe that in
less than ten years, it would spread bankruptcy,
rebellion, anarchy and desolation throughout
the British islands, such as British statesmen
love to predict will be the fate of the American
states. The subject is worthj the consideration
ofnyApieFloan mole, and we therefore trust
that the-resolve of a few private gentlemen in
thii city will become the resolve of a nation in
its future commercial relation to a despotisan.
IRE ` MEDICAL DEPART•MIENT OF VIE
ARMY.
If we are to judge from the complaints in
our cotemporary exchanges, the medical depart
ment of the army is at least half a century
behind the progress of humanity, and therefore
it is time that Congress move in the matter of
infdttnin this very important particular. As
a general thing, this department is pronounced
I#ss t. ssifiront enemy, fogyish, and without the
ocunomn senerosity natural to common men.
In ninny aspects it is brutal. Soldiers are even
mfAiltirett by mal-practice, or die from in
attention and professional neglect. Prom
iteibiunencement of the war np to the
promptoperiod it has been about the same thing,
and the little improvement may be attributed
safely to the Sanitary Commission. We hear
the same story continually. Twice the number
of troops died fro n disease in Western Virginia
than were killed in battle. At one time the
number and condition of the sick was !earful.
Ttrenty-five thousand troops were sent to Pod
Royal. They were furnished with everything,
&mita footballs to play with, except medical
SUM' ! This deficiency was not discovered un
til the sick were counted by hundreds and not
to.lay them upon. These are specimens
oi'tlie i m'anegement of the Medical Department
dike army. More soldiers have died of dir.
mile in Kentucky, than are likely, in any
emergency, to be killed in battle in that state,

INACTIVITY.
The Port Royal Expedition, from which the
public had a right to expect so much, seems
likely to turn out one of the most wretched
failures of the war. The gallant attack of the
navy on the forte is, for all that appears, to
stand alone ; unsupported by any correspond
ing deed of the land forces. The New York
Evening Post says it is now seven weeks since
Commodore Dupont cleared the way for General
Sherman and his troops ; there have been re
ports of projected movements by almost every
steamer which has arrived from Hilton Head
since, but hitherto no operations of importance
have even been begun. -It is very certain now
that a thousand men might have taken Charles
ton by a rapid advance from Port Royal within
a week after the capture of the rebel forts. The
panic of the South Carolinians ought to have
been of use to us ; but they have had lime to
recover from their fright, and, indeed, in the
seven weeks Sherman has now given them they
have had time to arm and drill the whites and
the blacks to oppose our march ; they have had
time to destroy supplies we ought to have cap
tured, and roads we ought to have secured,
and to strengthen the defences of all important
points.
No cause-can afford to throw away the fruits
of a brilliant victory in this way. Our generals
must learn to follow up their successes, or else
we shall find the most glorious efforts of our
army and navy as barren and fruitless as the
Port Royal affair has been so far. We have
stopped up Charleston and Savannah in a few
days ; but the moral effect of these deeds will
be almost nothing compared with that of a blow
prompt and swift, such as an able general had
It in his power to strike, in the middle of last
month.
The public has been very patient towards Ge
neral Sherman and his aids. He has not been
hurried or worried, as some commanders have
been, by either press or people. But there is a
growing conviction in the public mind that he
is incapable, and that by his incapacity he has
failed to obtain results which would have had
an important bearing upon the general aspect
of the campaign. What we have a right to de
mand of our generals is that they shall show
energy and skill ; that they shall lose no ad
vantage the enemy's condition or their own
success may promise them. Caution is a goad
quality, but if Commodore Dupont had been as
cautious as Sherman he would not have pushed
the Wabash, our finest frigate, over the bar of
Port Royal, in order to ensure the victory over
the forts; and if Sherman had had a little of the
energy and audacity of Dupont, the real object
of the Southern expedition—a diversion of the
enemy's force from the Potomac=wo■+d have
been gained. We are not•friendly to frequent
changes in commanders; but, if one. man does
nothing, it is but right that a better should be
put itt his place.
Oss or ma IMOIXIBM of the Revolutionary
Struggle, which has a more significant connec
tion with the operations and principal person
age in the present strife, is the fact that General
Lincoln commanded the southern American
army during the war for Independence. An at
tack was made by him, assisted by the French
fleet under Count d' Estang, upon Savannah,
which was then in the hands of the British, and
than also as now, a nest of incestous and incen
diary traitors. The brave Polander, Pulaski,
fell in this action, and Savannah was held by
the tories and traitors, notwithstanding the ef
forts of the loyal men to capture the city. It
was held, however, only for a short period,'
when the troops under Gen. Lincoln succeeded
in driving the enemies of the UnionfrOm within
its limits. The significance of this historical
incident is in the name of Lincoln, In 1779
Gen. Lincoln was fighting' to drive a foreign
foe from Savannah, and Owe the city from
treacherous domestic enemies. In 1861 Preai,
dent Lincoln, a lenial desoindant of the lievo 7
lutionary hero, is etrugglirfg to save not only
Savannah, but almost evety soothem city and
state from a foe equally as malignant as that
which invaded the south during the revolution. .
The soldiers of King George battled that an
English arristcarracy might reign over and op
press the people —the minions and, traitorous
followers of the . Rebel Davis, fight that an.
aristocracy of slavery should wield the power
justly belonging to the people and monopolise:l
the productions of a coluttry which should be-:
long only to the labor which increased 'them. ,
The issue then as now is the same. The same
inspiration which then fill eld the folds of our ban
ners in the south, now wafts them in victory
along the same coast,whili liberty , law, and fugue' ,
as then, now animate out armim-but the chief
incident.whieb attracts our attention and ad
miration is, that Lincoln, now as then, is strog
gling to destroy treaticin in the south. The his
torical fact is worthy; of reflection as well as
remembrance. .

WARLIKE PREPARATIONS IN ENGLAND
PARTIWILARR OFTBE DEATH OF PRINCE
ALBERT.
THE MOLISE PRESS ON THE PRESIDENT'S 1112313AG8.
Public feelingsvas for-the moment so engrossed
with the death of the Prince Consort, that, al
though President's Lincoln's message was re
garded with the greatest interest, it received
less attention than would have been the case
under other circumstances.
In noticing the telegraphic summary of the
Asia's news th 6 London Times says :
"The news by the Asia is not encouraging.—
Looking at the vote of Congress and the appro
val of the Navy Department on the San Jacinto
affair, the danger of war appears imminent.—
The President, however,has refrained from the
topic, and' this goes some way toward neutrali
zing warlike inferences. Had President Lincoln
regarded the Trent seizure as a subject of con
gratulation, he would probably have alluded to
it. If resolved to uphold it, he would have
read a lecture to neutral nations; but as he has
done none of these things, the supposition oc
curs that he has, by a studied silence, let him
self a door of retreat. The uncertainty of the
ultimate issue still remains, although the chan
ces of peace are undoubtedly diminished.
In another editorial article the Tines reviews
at length the President's message,. which is ill
arranged and worse expresseciand is silent in
matters upon which information was most de
sired. It cannot understand Mr. Lincoln's si
lence in the Trent affair in particular, and urges
that it was his duty to lend his aid in guiding
the legislature to a true decision in the matter.
"Possibly," says the article, "the simple solu
tion may be that the President has as yet ar
rived at no conclusion, and that, . perplexed by
the divisions of.his Cabinet, he has been content
to let the matter alone till events shall deter
mine for him that which he is unable or un
willing to determine for himself." After allu
ding to the President!aremarks on the cause of
the civil war, and claiming that his description
ought to put an end to the statement that sla
very is the main matter in dispute, the Ames
concludes as follows:
" But the most remarkable part of Mr. Lin
coln's speech is that M. which: he touches upon
the relations of his government with foreign
countries. The fact seems, on his own show
ing, to be,' that all' foreign countries have
hitherto priserveil a : strict neutrality; that they
have resisted all itiplications from the South
to make common cause with it against the
North ; and that they have quietly submitted
to a blockade which grievously injures their
commerce and manufactures.,
"These ' tams Would have called forth from
the chief of any other government in the world,
republican or monarchical, a gracious and
courteous hclinowlidgmeut of the respect and
forbearanwwith which a nation, not remark
able for either of these qualities to excess, has
wen created by all other nat•ons in its hour of
trel. Nothing can, be more ungracious, more
Contrary to the banal conditions of international
courtesy than the , language with which Presi
dent Lincoln repays the considerations extended
to him. 'These nations,' he says, ' appear as
yet not to have seen their way to their objects,
that is the restoration of commerce more
directly or clearly through the destruction than
through the preservation of the Union.' This
is a broad insinuation that foreign nations are
actuated by' the meanest and most selfish
motives, and Mr. Lincoln is content, as he
cannot deny that we have hitherto done right,
to express a suspicion that we did so for reasons,
we cannot avow without shame.
" It is not wonderful that a notice of foreign
relations begun in this spirit should end with
the exhortation with which we are already fa
miliar in the circular of Mr. Seward, to fortify
the seacoast, the great lakes and rivers. After
all, says Mr. Lincoln, 'the safety and stability
of the republic depend not on foreign nations,
but upon ourselves.' That is perfectly true at
this moment, because foreign nations earnestly
desire peace, and to avoid all occasion of quar
rel ; but IT will cease to be true the moment
that America has forced us into a war, for one
of the many evils of war is, that a nation is de
prived by it of the control of its own destinies,
and forced to shape its course, not by its own
will, but by the decision of war itself."
The Times devotes another leader to the re
port of the Secretary of the Navy, and treats
with ridicule the claim that the navy has added
to its renown. As to the strength of the navy,
it admits that, compared with the southern
naval power, it is as a giant to a dwarf ; but to
sustain the pretensions to insult all nations it
is but a contemptible flotilla. It characterizes
the design of blockading up the ports by sink
ing ships as an act of unparalleled barbarity and
a crime against all human kind. - •
WARLIKE PREPARATIONS.
The warlike preparations of the British gov
ernment continued to mike steady progress.
The Persia left Liverpool on the night of the
16th, having on board nearly twelve hundred
soldiers and some three hundred and eighty
tons of ordnance stores. The Grenadier and
Scotto Fusilier Guards were to embark at South
ampton in the Adriatic and Parana on the 19th.
They were formally inspected• and warmly com
plimented by the Duke of Cambridge on the
17th, preparatory to their departure from Lon
don.
A Malta dispatch of the 10th of December,
says that the greatest.excitement had prevailed
there owing to the receipt of orders, by tele
graph, to dispatch, as speedily as possible, all
the disposable ships-of-war to Gibraltar, for the
purpose, as it was rumored, of having them
ready for service in America, if necessary. In
compliance with these 'orders a large number
of war vessels were being assembled at Gibral
tar.
Admiral Dacres had been appointed second
in command to Sir Alexander Milne on the
North American station.
Ten Annstrong' 100tPounder guns lad I Geea
ordered to be embarked, for the sea and land de
fences of Halifax with all despatch. Orders
had been issued for the manufacture of 10,000,-.
000 of small arm cartridges, and 100,000
charges for Armstrong 100-pounders for sea ser
vice.
Armstrong 100-pounders-had likewise been
ordered to be shipped to the British possessions
in the Pacific.
The Times city article of the 18th referring to.
the warlike preparations says, the advicep „by
each mail strengthen the satisfaction of the
public at the course adopted by the British Gov
-
e runent and the consciousness that the slightet t
relaxation of vigor and firmness would be the
most fatal event that could, happen for the : fu
ture credit and influence of the country.
Considerable transactions in war risks were
taking place at Lloyd's at irregular, and in most
cases- rather enhanced rates.
THE DEATH OF PRINCE ALBERT,
XTE MEC" UPON nth ROYAL PANLLP AED MEE
PEOPLE.
We receive by the Etna full details regarding
the-death , of, the, Prince . Consort, 'which has
caused such a sensation in England as even to
eclipse, the violent war excitement, "
The earliest public intimation of the illness
of the Prince was made through the anert Jour
nal, and was announced as "a cold caught dur
ing a visit to Cambridge." At the review of
the Eton Volunteers he took a further cold. A
gastric fever ensued, during the, continuance;of
which public bulletins of the health of ihe
Prince were issued. On ,Saturday mo a lg,
the 15th—after three days' dedided illnt

in attendance upon His Royal Highness state
that Lanother hour will decide whether he
lives or dies. A special service has just been
held in St. John's Church for the purpose of of
fering up prayers for the restoration of Ilia Roy
al Highness' health. The greatest excitement
prevail s in the town."
In the meantime the Prince of Wales has been
telegraphed for and arrived from Cambridge,
and was with. the royal family, at the sufferer's
bedside. The worst symptoms of typhoid fever
appeared and the sufferings of the Prince were
agonizing Whenever an attempt was made to
lift or move him his groans were distressing to
hear. On Friday night, the Queen, the Prince
of Wales and the Princess Alice, stayed up all
night with the Prince, who was uneasy when
ever they left his side. All Saturday evening
he continued to sink, as it were from sheer ex
haustion, and at eleven o'clock he quietly,
ceased to breathe.
The Prince himself was aware of his perilous
position. He said on ; Wednesday that be
thought he should not recover, and alluded
frequently to the sudden death of his relative
the King of Portugal. He retained lids senses
to the latest, recognising the Queen and his
children, who were all with him excepting the
Crown Princes of Prusela, Prince Alfred and the
Prince Leopold.
The Times says that the Queen has'borne her
loss with exemplary resignation and a compo
sure which, under so sudden and so terrible a
bereavement, could not have been anticipated.
When the first' passionate burst of grief was
over, her Majesty called her children around
her, and, with a calmness which gives proof of
her great natural energy, addressed them in
solemn and affectionate terms. Her Majesty de
clared to her family that, though she felt
crushed by the loss of one who had been her
corn'. anion through life, she knew how much
was expected of her, and she accordingly called
on her children to give her their assistance in
order that she might do her duty to them and
to the country.
A friend at Windsor Castle condoled on Sun
day mottling with the Queen, who replied, "I
suppose I must. not fret too much, tor many
poor women have to go through the same trial."
The scene at Windsor Castle, directly after
the`death of the' rince, is described as haVing
been intensely painful and affecting. The
Princess Alice was carried from the cham
ber in a state of hysterical agitation, and when
the fatal news was communicated to her she
was seized with a rigidty of the nerves and
temporary insensibility which alarmed the at
tendants. The grief of her Majesty and the
royal children was sourceless less intense, but,
as has been stated, the Queen did not allow her
grief to overcome her sense of duty,
The funeral of the Prince would take place
on the 23d, between eleven and twelve o'clock
a in. The custom. which remained in force up
to the burial of William IV., of interring mem
bers of the royallounily by torch light, has for
many years been discontinued, and would not
be resumed on this melancholly occasion.
The King of the Belgians was expected in
England on a visit to the Queen. The Crown
Princess of Prussia (the Princess Royal of Eng
land) was unable to visit her mother from ill
health ; but the Crown Prince was expected.
A feeling of gloom prevailed throughout Eng
land, and a very general mourning was expected.
The various municipal and other bodies were
taking steps to give expression to their feelings
of condolence.
In Paris the Prince's death caused a g-reat
sensation, and all the papers unite in expres
sions of sympathy.
The Monitor, after announcing the sad event,
adds that " the Emperor, the imperial family,
and the whole of France, will mingle their re
gret and grief with the royal family and the
English nation." The imperial court had gone
into mourning, all festivities at the Tnilleries
having been countermanded, and the Emperor
is stated to have despatched an aid-decamp
with an autograph letter of condolence. At
Berlin the_ sews was received with strong mans•
festations of popular spmpathy and sorrow,
while the King hastened to offer such consola
tion as he might 10 the Princess Royal ; subse
quently visited the English envoy and ordered
the court to go go into mourning immediately.
During the Prince's illness telegrams of inqui
ry were telegraphed from almost all the courts
of Europe.
The news of the death of the Prince was an
nounced to the people of London by tolling of
the great bell of St. Paul's, at midnight of Sat
urday.
The Queen and the royal children were to
leave Windsor Castle for Osborne on the 18th.
The English papers appeared in mourning on
the 16th,
The London Tines thus singularly refers to
the Prince of Wales in connection with the sad
event:
"The Prince of Wales, of whom we have seen
so much, ,yet seem to know so little, has pOl9l-
don and power to win. He may be a true king
or a shadowed of, royalty. The decision is to
be made this very hour. The Prince will have
to make a solemn choice between life of frivoli
ty—perhaps of trouble andmisery—and a reign
of usefulness. Judging by-the measure of age,
he should now be as competent to assist his
mother as the Prince consort when he assumed
that duty."
Karruag.v.—ln the House, December 20, MS.
Wole, from the Committee on National Rela
tions, reported the following, which was unani
mously adopted, viz :
"That all statements in the public prints that
Kentucky contemplates the emancipatian of her
slaves, are without truth; Kentucky is attached
to the institution of slavery, and can, and will
maintain it."
In the Senate, a bill to confiscate - the property
of rebels, was postponed to the third Monday in
February.
These votes show, not the sense of the real
Union men of Kentucky, the great majority of
whom detest slavery, but the folly of the polit
ical incapables, who have taken the lead of the
Union interest in Kentucky, and firho have
constantly disgraced that noble State from the
commencement of the conflict down to the pre
sent moment. They began with howling against
coercion, then assumed a treacherous and hos
tile neutrality, and now appropriately end
their career by pandering to that pro-slavery
Sentiment, which is the life and soul of the
rebellion.
The sentiments of the reliable Union men of
Kentucky, are identical with those of the Union
men of Bat Tennessee, and which were truly
reflected in an address delivered three months
ago in. Cincinnati by the Rev. W. B. Carter, of
East Tennessee.
"I am a slaveholder," said Mr. Carter. "My
ancestors, for three generations, have been
slaveholders, therefore, I cannot be charged
with any prejudice against slvavery. But I tell
you now, that I regard the Union of the States
as of infinitely more value than all the negroes
in America, and Africa too. Nay, Igo farther,
and say that, if the prosecution of this war and
the perpetuation of the Union require that
African slavery shall die, then I say let it per
ish.

REBEL MP AT BETHEL BROKEN BP

Rebel Officers Visit Hampton
Court Martial of Captain Edward
Johnson,
THE EXCHANGED PRISONERS
=I
FORUMS MOICROIt, Dec. 81
The negro who came into Camp Hamilton
this afternoon reports that a large camp of the
enemy at a place near Bethel wee broken up,
and a general stampede to Yorktown took place
'on' Saturday night. They had seven heavy
howitzers but they were all removed. The
cause of the alarm was a rumor that an advance
would be made by Gen. Wool on Sunday.
A flag of truce was sent by Gen. Magruder to
Hampton Bridge this afternoon with a small
packet of letters for the north. Seven rebel
officers composed the party, and they remained
at Hampton for some time and appeared to be
making observations, and endeavoring to ob
tain information of our contemplated move
ments. Their appearance at this time, and
with such small numbers of lettere, leads to the
supposition that they were desirous of ascer
taining the truth ot current rumors of an ad
vance on our aide.
Edward Johnson, Captain• of Naval Brigade,
who has been found guilty of various misde
meanors by court martial and sentenced to be
dismissed from service, has had his sentence
confirmed by Gen. Wool.
As already announced, the rebels have Made
a selection of our prisoners of war to meet the
exchange of two hundred and forty-nine sent
over by our government the other day. They
will be brought down the James river on
Thursday next, in a steamer, ostensibly for the
purpose of saving railroad ransportation, but
really to ape the action of our government in
sending the rebel prisoners here in a barque,
instead of by rail and steamboat. The ex
change it is said, will be composed entirely of
men taken at Bull Run.
