•■^f ij|pj l jawer > which of all others we ought to
o t r be.at:f«tce with.
It seems that the British government bad
mado a peremptory demand for the restora
' tion of Messrs. Mason and Slidell, and
for an ample apology for the insnlt to her
. flafci 'Sochtosthe tenor of the telegraphic
. '. diipatcbe*. We may. hope that the real
. „v facts haye been exaggerated, and that there
may be nothing so humiliating demanded of
our government, and nothing bat what we
v 1 can yieidto withoubcoropromising onr Na
tional honor.
If Great Britain has mode the demand
alleged, in all its length and breadth, wc do
not seo Low a war is to bo avoided. Our
government has given too many evidences
of its approval of-Ahc conduet of Commodore
Wilkes to leave a doubt of its policy. It
letievcs, doubtless, that wc have interna
tional law on our side, and that Oreat Bri
tain herself has made, precedents sufficient
to justify the capture of the rebelAmbassa
, ; don. If the British government has made
? ! a peremptory demand for the rendition of
-tho rebel envoys, our government will re
fuse to Comply, and then England must
back out, or declare war. It is not proba
ble the will do the former. '
The consequences 'of her acts were no
doubt well-weighed before she decided upon
’ her poliey, and she will be prepared to en
force her demand with all her immenso re
sources.
A war with England would btfa calam- 1
ity at any time. There arc many things.
in our mutual relations to render itpainful c
to both nations, and disgraceful in the eyes
of the world. We are both Free Govern
ments j we talk the same languge; we hold
to the same Protestant Christianity, and we
can do each other a great deal of good in
; : peace, and inflict upon each other immense
harm in war, without any compensation
. for the loss and suffering. But especially
I now a calamity to us, as we are
->.. ; 'oqgOgea in a mighty intestine conflict,
■ - which demands our energies and resources.
. ; But we have the consolation to know, that
' •the war, if it does come, is not of our
j seeking.
took at the foots of the case. One of
j our commanders, on his own responsibility,
Without any orders from the 'government,
j learning that two notorious rebels were on
boards British passenger ship,.bound to
Europe as Ambassadors,, took the responsi
bility of taking them and bringing them
into our ports. An examination of inier
national law, and of British precedents
bearing on the case, led our people, and no
doubt our government also, to the convic
tion, that the law and precedents were in
our favor. The rebels are imprisoned, the
conduct of Commodore Wilkes is approved
officially, both by the Secretary of the
Navy and by a resolution of "Congress.
Thus we have gone tofi~far to go back, with- I
out such humiliation as no nation can sub-1
mit to without dishonor. To be sure, na- I
tions as well as individuals are bound to
make due acknowlegdmonts if they hare
unwittingly gone astray, and it is no dis
honor to do so ; but in this case there is~
much to be said on both sides, and the”
weight of British law. authority is on our
side. We cannot then yield without dis
grace, and without taking the position of a
second-rate power. Our Government did
'not 1 seek a quarrel by sending out vessels
to seize the rebels, but she finds the case !
thrust upon her, and she deals with it in the !
. best and probably in the only mode she i
.could, and as Great Britain did under sim- !
ilar circumstances, and doubtless would 1
have dono now had our positions been
reversed. Even the London TVntw, which,
during this rebellion, has manifested a very
unfair and a very bad temper towards our
Government and the people, acknowledges
that .they have set the precedents on which
our Government has acted. Here is its
remarkable language:
• •••$ ..“Unwelcome as the truth may bo, it u

established a system of international law ■

The wily ruler of that country may en

financial suicide by siding with her in a
war upon us. It is probably the cheapest
way in which he can amuse the impover

case, we shall be driven fora time from the

of internal resources, and can soon render
ourselves independent of all the world for

The Great Fire in Charleston.
We haTe as yet but meagre accounts of
this disastrous conflagration. The very
heart of Charleston is probably burnt out,
and property to the amounL of ten millions
of dollars destroyed, and at last accounts
the firo was still raging. The New York
Herald sayß that the part of Charleston de
stroyed comprises die most compact and all
the business parts of the city, except some
wholesale houses northward. Nearly all
the public buildings were consumed; and,
should the fire extend, in the direction in
which it was moving at last -accounts, it
would sweep the entire of the fashionable
residences down to Ashley rivor. It ap
pears that the docks and warehouses along
the Cooper river had not been touched,
owing to the wind blowing from that direc
tion. But the fire had crossed the eastern
side of Broad street, and should it proceed
in that direction the destruction would be
immense, as very many of the buildings are
frame in that quarter. The city-generally
contains so many frame buildings as to
partly account for the extensive nature of
the conflagration. The high wind did the
fest. Among the buildings included in the
burnt district are tiro iron foundries , one of
them lately employed in the manufacture of
and the other in making cannon balls
and shells. Several churches and nearly
all the public buildings, banks and insur
ance offices became a prey to the flames.
This conflagration is probably one of the
largest which hah taken place in this coun
try. It is the second time Charleston has
been burned down. In 1818, some fifteen
hundred buildings were destroyed.
“ The British national debt, commonly sta
ted at foar thousand millions of dollars, only
carries an interest of three per cent. A debt
Oif seventeen hundred millions, at seven per
cent., would be equal, in point of annual
charge, to the British national debt, and wo
are threatened with more than half of that, in
only eighteen months from this time!" —

Is it not high timo that something was do
ing by our immense army in the field, to put
% stop to this war, and to this enormous ex
penditure. Belays are growing dangerous in
more ways than one.
If we are to have a war with England,
ought notour generals to cmbraco tho short
respite allowed us to whip out tho rebels : or
are we to wait until a fleet arrives on our
coast, and breaks our blockade, and gives
moral and physical strength to the rebellion.
The roads are good now, the weather is fine,
thearinyis healthy, why is not something
done ?
Situation of the Army in Kentucky*
Is thus sketched by a correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune:
The lines of th<f army are drawing tighter
and tighter around the rebels in their en
trenched stronghold of Bowling Green.
Tighter and stronger are they drawn, as if
Gen. Buell intended tbrotling the monster
in his den. Reinforcements for the right
and left wings and the advance of the main
army in the line of the Nashville Railroad
have been the latest and most important
movements.
The three brigades of Gens. McCook,
Rousseau, and Johnston-crossed Green river
yesterday, and oro now encamped in the
intrenchments lately occupied by Buckner
and his rebels, deserted by them without
firing a gun. Forty miles now only lies
between the rebels and the loyal army
forty miles of distance and but a few days
of preparations.
file position assumed by the advanced
brigades i* in the most beautiful region of
Kentucky. ’ The country is on delightful
contrast with the region on this side of the
clear, deep and swift stream of Green River.
-On this side a rough, hilly country where
scrub-oak and hardy cedar force their
crooked way from the earth betwcon the
bare and gray rocks that peer above the
surface of the sterile and unprofitable soil.
Beyond is_the smooth, level plain, vast and
extensive as the Northwestern prairies,
where the eye unobstructed reaches afar to
the horiton, and railroads stretch in tan
gential lines into the dim distance and die*,
appear. The'“Barrens" of Kentucky, as
the-region south of Green River, and in
the central part of the State, is called, is a
richlycultivated and richly watered coun
try.' 'The railroad leaving Munfordsville, .
a mile to the left, and deserting the hills
and cliffs on the northern approach to Green
River, rims in a southwestern direction to
Bowling Green, again encountering the
rough country~~that indicates a near ajK
proach to Barren. River. Along the line of
the rallfbad, and'us it were following its
course, ia a fine turnpike in good repair,
and in finr condition for wagons and far
long marches.
The country ahead of our army, accord?
ing to the above, is veTy inviting; and the
advance, considering that there is not only
a "railroadj” but a “ fine turnpike,” can be
made without much regard to the weather
or the season—not as in Virginia, Eastern,
or Western, where a day’s jrain would often
makethe roads impassable for a week. On
the piwent ateength of the army in Ken
tucky, and the positian of affairfl there, the

to their one—we are threatened by the
rebels under Major General George B.
Crittenden, at Cumberland Gap; under Zol

in Northeastern Kentucky; besides the
Bowling Green column, which manages to
pillage the whole country, and burn
bridges up to oar sentry liues.
At Cumberland Gap.the force is stated at
ten thousand already, with Humphrey Mar
shall coming in with five thousand more.
ZollicofferV strength may safely be set
down at eight or nine thousand more. Wil
liams seems to be in force enough to give
rise to apprehension that the native troops
there cannot hold him in chock. Critten
den occupies an exceedingly strong, as well
as threatening position, and there is now
but one feasible way to dislodge him—by
pushing against Nashville. Zollicoffer’s
position is not a valuable one, and, even
if he should be successful there, can hardly
be made a base of but the Cum
berland Gap line is now in the hands of
the enemy, thanks to ourownincompetcncy
or worse, and remains<a standing menace
to Lexington and Cincinnati till the war is

Mr. Cashing on the Trent Affair.
Hon. Caleb Cashing discusses the Trent af
fair at length. His conclusions are thus
stated:
To conciade then: In my judgment, the act
of Capt. Wilkes w&3 one which any and every
self-rcspccting nation must and would have
done, by its own sovereign right and power,
regardless of consequences. It was an act
which, it cannot be doubted, Great Britain
would have done under the same ciretmstan
ces. At the same time, it was an act amply
justified by the principles and doctrinos of
international jurisprudence. Wo may well
regret that occasion for the act has occurred,
and that the seizure needed to be done from
on board a vessel, and still more a mail pack
et, of Great Britain; with whom, for all pos
sible reasons, wo desire to oontinue on the
footing of cordial amity. But, Messrs. Ma
son and Slidell not having been embarked on
board of the Trent by the British Govern
ment, that Government, as such, has not been
offended by the seizure. The Trent, her offi
cers acting on their own responsibility, could
have no immunity from the ordinary laws of
war, which affect the vessels of a great power
equally as of a small one ; and Great Britain
cannot fail, I think, to perceive that—as no
offence was intended to her in the matter, and
as the rights of beligerency were exercised by
Captain Wilkes in the most moderate form,
without seizure of mails, without bringing in
as a prize, without injury to private property
—her national pride and national honor con
spire to dictate tho most amicable construc
tion of this inevitable act of the sovereignty
and belligerent right of the United States.
I have the honor to be, very respectfullr,
your obedient servant, C. Cuaujxo,”

Auother Tragedy in New York.
Tiie New York Sunday Herald say* :
Another of those frightful tragedies jvhi'ch
chill the blood in one's veins has occurred in
this city. About ten o’clock yesterday
morning Bernhard Levy, aged twenty-five,
and who did business as exchange broker un
der the Citizens' Bank, corner of Canal street
and the Bwwery, was found behind his own
counter, with his throat cut from ear to ear,
and his inanimate body weltering in a large
pool of blood. A young man next door heard
a heavy fall about tho time specified, and,
rushing into the exchange office of L. B. Levy
& Son, found deceased as above described, and
in the last struggle of death. He immediate
ly rushed out and sent a messenger in all
haste to Captain Dowling, of the Sixth pre
cinct, who was promptly on the-spot, with a
detachmant of police. A crowd of people
surroanded the door; no ono was allowed to
enter except the reporters and the police.
From tho appearance which the wound pre
sented, it might have been ioflioted by de
ceased’s own bands or by the bands of a mur
derer. As the matter stands at present, it is
impossible to say which; bat strong suspicion,
it is stated, rests on a woman whose name it
is not proper to publish at present, and with
whom deceased was on terms of intimacy.
She has been known to threaten his life sev
eral times.
The Southern Presbyterians.
A Mobile paper has this paragraph
“The Presbyterian Church of tho South,
as we'learn, since its severance from that of
the United States, have after suitable consid
eration and discussion, appointed Commis
sioners to meet, at Augusta, Ua., on next
Wednesday, for the purpose of organizing a
new Assembly-—a General Assembly of (he
Presbyterian Church, in tho Confederate
States of America—thus forming, practically,
as well us religiously, a uew and powerful
bond of union for the Southern States. And
it is' thought, as it is much desired, that this
step will ultimate in the return of the fami
ly of Presbyterian Churches in tho South to a
common household, for tbe gonerai good of
the whole, and their greater usefulness and
better success of their mission of peaco and
piety in the world. The essential difference
between them, or between most of their mem
bers, arc thought to be in no wise sufficient
to prevent even such a onion. At all events,
it is quite certain that tbe bonds of fellow
ship tetwcon them, will bo greatly strength
ened hereafter.

Captain Chaso, who arrived bore to-day
from Havana, by the seboonor A. B. Terry,
reports the arrival of tho rebel schooner Break
of Day at Havana from New Orleans, with a
cargo of turpentioo and rosin ; and adds that
when tho steamer City of Baltimore found tbe
rebel vessel on her way oat of Havana
harbor, the federal flag on board the steamer
was dipped three times in compliment to the'
Break of Bay. Tho whistle was
also blown, and when three snlntci hod been
given, the steamer made the best of her way
out. Captain Chaso vontures to express an
opinion that the officers of the steamer were
“apparently impressed with the idea that they
had done something tall.” Something small
would be the better reading. Such compli
ments to the rebel flag are not called for.

A dikokbous body of secessionists is mov
ing through Eastern Kentucky, and it is re
ported the advanced guard is at Olympian
Springs, tho point from which Colonel Ben.
Harris set ont to rout the socesh at West Lib
erty. The rebels aro principally mounted
and cany their provisions with them. So
rapid and daring-are their movements that
even Lexington is not regarded by its citizens
as perfectly secure. Our Frankfort corres
pondent makes a suggestion,- and we think it
an excellent one, that Eastern Kontaeky be
inoluded in Gen. Bosecrans' Department.
We do not regard Lexington as in serious
danger. There are too many troops in Camp
in Ohio to allow the seceah to possess that
city. If there is the slightest energy, or the
slightest effort mode to bring fresh Ohio
troops into tbe field, half a dozen regiments
could be forwarded within three day?.-—Cin.
