: OUR RELATIONS WITH ERG A AND.
This week we publish on our outside the
. correspondence between the British Ministers
- and Secretary Seward, In relation to the
' Trent affair. In reference to the correspon
' dence, the Chester (Delaware county) Repub
' lican says t "The surrender of these arch trai-
tors is on of those masterly strokes of states
manship which the American people are so
quick t comprehend and appreciate.. On the
- arrest of these infamous men, there was one
' heartfelt expression of satisfaction, perhaps,
of exultation,' throughout the loyal States.
Not a cheek blanched, not a heart throbbed
with fear of : English resentment. While we
believed that the law and the right were on
our side, ,we sustained the brave action of
, Commander Wilkes, and were ready to take
another war on our shoulders, if national honor
required it ; but when it was shown in the
Tery able letter of Secretary Seward that in
. yielding to the demands of England, we were
settling a long : mooted question' of interna
tional law in accordance with our own doc
trines, and thus achieving by statesmanship a
. triumph that we did not obtain in the war of
1812-14, the public feeling yielded ot once to
the judgment, and every, loyal American ac
quiesced in the decision of our Government
cheerfully, and with renewed confidence in
- our country's ability to cope with European
; Powers in diplomacy as successful as we have
done in war. That question being settled, we
now know, better than ever before, that Eng
land's friendship for us is based on her own
selfishness. Of this we do not complain, but
. it will teach us to legislate for our own inter-
- csts hereafter, without regard to the wishes of
British manufacturers and those of the middle
men, the importers, who make immense for-
- tunes by carrying from England the cotton,
woolen and iron goods that we ought. to man
ufacture at home. It is clear that England
. desires tho division of this country. She
- would like to have the South for a market,
and she would like to see our Government a
failure. A division of the United States would
, be a virtual acquisition by. England of the
-'whole South an immense cotton plantation,
well tenanted and stocked. It would be worth
more to her than. Canada and Australia to
. gether. It would make her immensely our
superior as a national power on the earth, and
would be a crushing blow to the cause of free
government. We have spent a great deal of
money in the South in the last fifty years, in
' tho purchase of Louisiana and Florida, and
the acquisation of Texas, in removing Indians,
in building forts and custom houses, in im
proving rivers and harbors, in carrying the
mails, in helping hold her slaves,' in protect-
'' ing her frontier, in paying the officers of the
." Government, nearly all of whom have been
. from the south, and now in flogging her into
' decent obedience to the laws which she diso
beys, bocause she has been , spoiled by too
. much petting. England cannot have the South
just yet. We intend to bold on to our just
claim a while, and use the South for our own
purposes. We will probably put an export
duty on all cotton going ont, and will certain
ly put an import duty on all British manufac
tures coming into the South. The people of
the South must live poor a while, and do more
. work ; they must repay us for all we have
; expended on her, she should requite us by
paying our rival ' If England intends to take
. advantage of' our situation to pick a quarrel,
we will keep the . South at bay, if necessary,
while we flog England, and then we will flog
the South. But we hope there will be no ne-
, cessity for this alternative. The South will
be bronght back to duty, and a wiser legisla
tion than has marked our history within the
last twelve years, will restore our country to
. such a condition of prosperity as the world
never witnessed before"
. . Suspension of Banks. The banks in Bos
ton, New York, and Philadelphia, suspended
" specie payments on the 30th December. This
may compel a suspension of specie payments
. by the banks generally throughout thocountiy.
It was thought that the abundance of specie
in the banks, with the constant receipts from
r both California and Europe, would have ren
dered such a prudential course unnecessary.
No money panic, however, is anticipated ;
' but on the contrary, it is asserted, that the
''result of the suspension will bo a greater ease
.. in the money market, and an extension of dis-
counts. The Pittsburg Banks bad resolved
; not to suspend.'
Thi Philadelphia, and Erik Railroad.
We learn , that a corps of engineers is now in
the vicinity of Buena Vista (Elk county) ready
.. to commence operations upon the road. Col.
: 8. M. Lawrence is ' at the head of the corps.
.The work must be completed, within a year
... from the date of contract. . , . :

SutacLAR. Extract from allatteras Inlet
letter of Dec. 17th : "The sauciest thing that
"Secesh" has yet done occurred the otherday.
Two steamers, the Fanny and Curlew, came
up within two miles ot the forts, and either
destroyed or took with them , two large cam
buoys which marked the channel. Our ships
blazed away at them, while they were four or
five mi les distant ; but as tLvy came closer
the firing slackened, and when they were
closest, our ships did not fire a shot, but al
lowed them to do the mischief, and leave
without damage. All this time, there were
two tugs lying at the fort, which could have
gone out to meet them, but they never moved.
There is a very large screw loose somewhere,
and it ought to be attended to. Probably all
tho officers of the Navy, with treasonable
proclivities, have not yef been rooted out.
Rebel Zantippe. If you want to make an
angel, select a good woman for the material ;
and if you want to make a real devil, just pick
ont a bad one, especially if a secessionist.
We notice that the other day a fine cake was
sent to Mrs. Greenhow, a rebel lady confined
in Washington. Lieut. Sheldon stuck a pen
knife into it in several places, and striking a
hard substance, opened it, and found Treasury
notes,ffves and tens,tb a considerable amount;
also a letter, stating . that arrangements bad
been made to effect her escape and conveyance
to Richmond, and naming the day and hour of
doliverance. When the . lady found out the
discovery obtained from her cake, her anger
was uncontrollable. The Lieutenant bought
her a nico new cake and sent it to her, but she
threw it down siairt. ...
Tuet have their Reward. The ordinance
of secession was passed on tho 20th dy of
December, 1860, and less than a year has seen
the footsteps of the invader on the soil , of
South Carolina the commerce of her ports
destroyed her crops given to the flames
her slaves escaping her material wealth re
duced to almost nothing beggary and near
starvation racking her people and finally her
chief city laid in ashes without even the band
of the "northern enemy" being laid upon her.
Verily the nest in which was hatched the vi
per of secession, has fared ill, and all who may
be hereafter disposed to adopt the policy of
"rule or ruin" may take warning. Some way
the destruction reacbos them, and how it
reaches them is a matter of but little conse
quence. A Tragedy at Nasuville. A correspond
ent of the Chicago Times relates the following
as having lately occurred at Nashville, Tenn :
"The State Capitol is scarcely three hundred
paces from the residence of Mrs. James JC.
Polk. On the morning of the 14th of Novem
ber, a brisk sprightly negro woman, the prop
erty of Mrs. Polk and a servant in her house,
procured a knife, and having proceeded to
the bed in which lay three ol her own children,
from two to six or seven years of age, cut
their ' throats, and when they had breathed
their last, placed them decently beside each
other, called to a fellow-servant to come and
see what she had done, and then cut her own
throat. The Nashville papers say the woman
was insane."
Oca National Doctor's Bill. The Sur
geon General of the army asks an appropria
tion for the next fiscal year of $3,500,000,
besides the pay of the surgeons, for the medi
cal and hospital departments. His estimates
are founded upon the basis of $7 per man lor
an aggregate of 500,000 men. Besides this,
the Paymaster General asks for $73,C00, for
the payment of 500 female' nurses. Add to
these items the pay of GOO surgeons, and you
have the doctor's bill of the Federal army,
which will considerably exceed $4,000,000 a
yean
Hilton Head. By the news from Port Roy
al, published in another column, it will be
seen that Commodore Dupont is busily pre
paring to make another demonstration at some
point on the rebel coast. All the war-ships
were concentrating, and a number of armed
launches were put in order and tested in the
work of covering the landing of a large body
of troops. The new fortifications at Hilton
Head are nearly finished, and when complete
they will be able to resist any force the rebels
can bring against tbem.
The Fire in Nashville. A fire occured in
Nashville, Tenn., on the 22d, by which the
commissary stores of the rebels, there, and a
portion of the ordnance department, were de
stroyed. The loss is estimated at one million
of dollars. It is rather an ominous fact, that
these great fires happen just as our armies are
expected to advance. There must be some
body in the region of Secessia who are not fa
vorable to the rebel cause.
The Southern Ports or Entrt. Hon.
Thaddeus Stevens has introduced a bill into
Congress to abolish certain ports of entry along
the southern coast, in order to relieve the
government of the necessity and expense of
the ' blockade. It would also give us a vast
fleet to protect our commerce against the in
sults of the world and the piracy of the rebels.
Its consideration was postponed ujjtil the 2d
Tuesday of February.
Confirmed. The rumor published some
days since, that JeSDavi8 had appointed Messrs.
Breckinridge and Hunter ministers to the
Courts of St. James and St. Cloud, is probably
true. . The Halifax (N. S.) Express of Decem
ber 13th says that John C. Breckinridge arrived
in that place about a week before, and that he
sailed in the Cunard steamer "Canada" for
England."','...''..,.' . '.
, Femalb Secessionist Mrs. Baxley. of Bal
timore, arrived from Richmond, and was
placed in the prison for females, In the western
part of Washington. It will be remembered
that she was recently arrested as a spy, 'Not
only in the folds of her dress, but in the rolls
of her hair were discovered contraband letters,-
which are in the possession of the proper au-
luvriwua. . -
BBITISH NATIONAL H0N0S.
Now that Mr. Seward has disposed of the
Trent affair with a coup de main, alike honora
ble to the American Government, as with
great credit to himself, it will do no harm to
refer to the case of Col. Turr, a matter not
yet forgotten by the present generation. It
will show the character of the English nation
under two situations, one when they want fa
vors and the goodwill of an Imperial family,
the other when they want cotton and "custo
mers," with free trade to supply them. W bile
the British Government "evinced a desire to
: shirk the subject and submit passively to the
" insult offered to it" in 1855, from Austria,
it "could not allow such an affront to the Na
" tional honor to pass without full reparation"
in 1861 by the United States. We quote en
tirely from Tyrell's History of the War with
Russia, and therefore' have English authority.
Col. Turr was a Hungarian by birth, and an
officer in a Hungarian regiment stationed in
Italy at the time of the struggle for Italian in
dependence in 1848-9. When Kossuth called
his country to arms against Austria, Turr, with
others, did battle where they were. After the
insurrection was suppressed, Turr, like many
of his countrymen, became an exile. He so
licited and received a commission in the En
glish service, in the land transport corps. He
went to the Crimea, and was sent by the Director-General
to Wallachia, to procure horses
for the British army. While at Bucharest on
a visit, he was arrested on the 1st November,
1855, at his hotel, by order of the Austrian
General, Coronini, on the charge of being a
deserter from the Austrian army in 1849. His
uniform was violently stripped from .his
back and he was otherwise greatly maltreated
and insulted, and then thrown into prison.
Mr. Colquohon, the English consul in the
Wallachian capital, being informed of the cir
cumstance, "lost no time in proceeding to
" Count Coroniui's residence, and,' in a tons
" becoming his position, demanded the liber
" ation of the prisoner,he being actually in the
" British service, wearing its uniform, on Turk
" ish territory, and intrusted with a special
" commission o behalf of the British army in
" the Crimea. The Austrian, forgetting the
respect due to the representative of the Sov-
ercign of England, put himself into a tower.
" ing rage, exclaimed : "I know no Colonel
" Turr, but one Turr, a deserter, whose name
" was posted on the public gibbet at Funfkir
" chen for five weeks. Know you, sir, that I
"have the' power to hang him?' 'On your
" responsibility, your excellence !' replied Mr.
"Colquohon. A deserter,' shouted, the
'' Count ; I arrest my deserters whenever I
" find them ; and if my Government order me
" surrender him, I will break my sword.' He
refused to liberate the rjrisoner. and onlv
. - g i j
" consented to delay further measures until
" he received instructions from Vienna. This
" affair produced an immense sensation at
" Bucharest. Thus was a Hungarian political
"exile seized by the Austrians on a neutral
" territory, it being a part ot the Ottoman em
" pire. Thus the asylum granted by the Sul
" tan to Kossuth and other Hungarian exiles
" was violated in the person of Col. Turr, and
"the temptation to the outrage appeals to
" have been the opportunity it afforded Count
'Coronini of insi.lting hngland, by disdain
" fully tearing its uniform from the back of
" the man whom he had arrested.
" It is a subject of humiliation to English'
" men, that our Government, always unpleas
" antly, if not suspiciously deferential to that
" of Austria, evinced an unworthy desire to
" shirk tLis subject, and by the abandonment
" of Colonel Turr, submit passively to the in
" suit offered to it. The JHrnes and the Globe
" also attempted to disguise this baseness by
"blackening the character of Colonel Turr,
" and by the assumption of a haughty indiffer
" ence. The latter course was contemptible
" and ridiculous, and reminds us of the fellow
" in tho old comedy, who, having been well
" kicked by his opponent, declares that the
((insult was of so vulgar a character, that he
" should not condescend to tako any notice ot
it. However, the liberal press of the coun
" try kept the case of the Hungarian Colonel
"prominently before the public. IheGov-
" ernment appears to have been driven reluc-
tantly into some sort or remonstrance, and
"on the 30th or January, lsob.it was an
" nounced at Vienna that 'the Emperor, as a
mark of consideration for bis illustrious ally
Queen Victoria, has granted a pardon to
" Colonel Turr J A. pardon! The time has been
" when England would have exacted not a
" pardon, but an apology." Kossuth, in an
article on this violation of international law,
says, "why, the act is so monstrously insult-
" ing that if England, besides the personal re-
paration duo to Colonel Turr, wuld content
" herself with anything less for satisfaction
" than the immediate evacuation of the prin
" cipaliiies by Austria, history would not fail
" to pass the judgment, that England did not
" deserve the name, and shall have forfeited
the position of an independent nation."
ALLEGED MAIL DEPREDATION. .
From the Philadelphia papers of the latter
part of the past week, we learn the following
facts concerning an alleged mail depredation
case, which was up for bearing, on the 2d and
3d inst., before U. S. Commissioner Heazlett :
On the 1st of April, Mr. Kufus Brown mailed
a letter at Blodget Mills, Cortland County, N.
Y., to Dr. I Lukens, Box No. 1810, Philadel
phia, Pa. The letter contained a draft on the
American Exchange Bank, New York City,
for $324,62, payable to the order of Dr. Lu
kens. The draft was paid within four or five
days of the date of its mailing, having on it
the following endorsements "Pay to the or
der of C. A. Thomas I. Lukens, 911 Market
St. ; C. A. Thomas j Wm. L. Gilbert ; John
Hoope." The draft was cashed by Mr. lloope.
who is a broker at 271 Broadway, N. Y., Gil
bert endorsing it with Thomas, with whom he
was acquainted, for the purpose of identifica
tion. Mr. Brown not hearing" from Dr. Lu
kens, wrote to the latter, and was informed
that neither the letter or draft had come to
band. The case was, sometime afterwards,
submitted to S. B. Row, Special Agent of the
P. O. Department, who . traced Thomas to In
dianapolis, from there to Western Virginia,
and finally to the 12th (Col. Link's) Regiment
Indiana State Volunteer., above Sharpsburg,
Maryland, from whence he was brought to
Philadelphia under an order from the War
Department. Prior to the bearing, Thomas
made a statement, under oath, to the effect
that he bad procured the draft from Charles
Burnbaum.'wbo was formerly janitor of Penn
Medical University. At the hearing on Thurs
day and Friday, the facts as to the mailing,
the non-receipt of the letter and draft by Dr.
Lukens, the payment of the money to Thomas,
and the procuring of the draft from Burnbaom,
were all testified to by different witnesses.' It
was farther testified that, it had been the duty
of the Janitor to carry letters for the Universi
ty from the Post Office, and the presumption
is, if he gave the' draft to Thomas, be must
have taken it from the letter in which it had
been sent. . ;
On the 4tb, the Commissioner decided to
hold the accused to bail, in the sum of $500
each, for their appearance for trial at the Feb
ruary Terra of the U. S. Court for the East
ern District of Pennsylvania.
The WheeliDgneZi'gencersays that General
Kelly, commander of the Union forces at
Romney, has been relieved. at his own request,
by General Reynolds. The immediate cause
of this change is the continued ill health and
suffering experienced by Gen. Kelly ever since
he resumed command on sufficiently recover-
ing from bis wound Teceived at Phillippi.
Latterly the old wound has grown so much
worse as to disqualify bim from all active du
ty and confine him to his bed, and he has in
deed been too feeble to assume the cares of
command at so important a post as that as
signed him, . . . i ' ; . ; ' ; ; : , , A
... i he change of Uniforh. The recent
change in the uniform of our troops is made
as a measure of economy. Sky blue cloth has
taken the place of dark blue, and officers are
allowed to wear the large caped light blue
cavalry overcoat. The saving is in the indigo
used for dying the dark cloth, and it is esti
mated that it will amount to upwards of three-
quarters of a million f dollars.

Alarmed. It appears that the rebels were
much alarmed last week at Yorktown, on ac
count of a reported advance on that place by
Gen. Wool. It is said that Magruder tele
graphed to Richmond for permission to de
stroy Yorktown by lire, iu consequence of the
report ; but he was directed to refrain unless
certain of an immediate attack.
Disbanding. Gen. Price's army in Missou
ri is said to be rapidly disbanding. The peo
ple of Arkansrs would not permit those who
had not formally entered into the service of
the Confederates to march into that State,
