that he was justly regarded as one of the
foremost or the Whig leaders. His health
forced him out of Congressional life.
Ever since his retirement he has had a
leading part in shaping the State policy,
and no important movement has been made
without consulting him.
He has taken a very active part in his
own State against secession.. When the
secession troubles broke out he went to
Washington, and procured from the Presi
dent, arms for the Home
. Guards, a military
Organization raised chiefly upon his sugges
tion, to counteract Buckner 'd army or the
secession militia. By this movement, he

Pedro V., King of Portugal, whose death
has been announced, was born September
I Gth, 1887. He aseended-t4 throne when
barely six tee triears 'of 'ake, -l buf left the
government in the hands of his father, as
regent, for some years. He visited Eng
land in 1854, and France in 1855. He
journeyed afterwards to Rome, Naples,
Sardinia, nd •gturned k o mr by,. w a z p-or
England. On' Kis return he was formally
crowned king, and assumed the reins of
'government. He made himself at once
greatly beloved by the care with which he
;sought to have justice done throughout his
dominions, and the devotion he showed for
the welfare of his people. When an infec
tious disease appeared in Lisbon, and drove
all out who could get away, the courtiers
vainly implored the young king to seek
safety in 'flight. He resolutely remained
to superintend the efforts made td save
life, and by his example in the hospitals
and elsewhere, inspired the physicians with
energy, and his people with equal devo
tion. He showed courage not only in
facing death, but in opposing the routine
of his ministers.
Shortly after his accession he sent for a
list of prisoners in the kingdom. A list
was given him of such as the authorities
deemed worthy of his Majesty's notice.
He at once demanded a complete-list; de
claring that he did not dare overlook his
meanest subject. The administrator of a
petty district having , died, his son asked
for the place. The king was urged not; to
promise, because, said his minister, " the
young man is too young—only twenty
five." " How so ?" replied the king, "
am much younger, and yet am' thought ea
pablelaf governing Portugal. Let the ap
pointment be confirmed." Great things
were justly hoped of this young king, who
was virtuous, energetic, and possessed of
common sense. His death is a great loss
to Portugal.. He is succeeded by Louis
Phillippe, Duke of Oporto, who was born
October 31, 1838.

LA FAYETTE COLLEGE, 1
Nov. 19, 1861. j
•
• Resolutions adopted by the Senior Class
of La Fayette College, Easton, Pa., on the
death of our former class-mate, John M.
Annan :
WHEREAS, Our Heavenly Father, in his
all wise providence, has seen fit to remove
from our midst, our class-mate, John M
Annan, whose familiar voice we were ac
customed to hear in the class-room, but
who lately having joined our noble army of
vilunteers, was deprived of life by the ac
cidental discharge of a carhino in the hands
of a fellow-soldier; therefore,
Resolved, That we as a class, mourn the
loss of one so promising and exemplary;
one giving such fine promise of usefulness
in the Church and in the world ; and one
that was an honor not only to his class,
but also to the College.
. ,
Ile'solved, That we most sincerely sym
pathise with his parents and friends in the
loss of one so young, so beloved, and so
.41 of promise; yet we would ask them to
rejoice with us in the hope and belief that
he has now joined that'blood-washecl throng
which surrounds God's throne.
Resolved, That as a class we tender our
sympathies to those who went out to do
battle in their country's cause, and who
yet remain to uphold their country's flag;
while he who was their officer and friend,
lies now in a patriot's grave, respected by
all who knew him, and honored as one of
La Fayette's patriot sons.
Resolved, That a copy, of ,these resolu
',oils be presented td. 't Lfriends of the
einpany of which he was an officer; and
hat they be published in the papers.

Effect of the War News.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 16.—The effect of the Eng
lish news in Baltimore has been to call forth
warm Union sympathy with the position of the
President, whilst the secessionists nre rejoicing
at the prospect of securing the aid of England to
overthrow the Union. Nearly all the Irish pop
ulation in Baltimore have been Secessionists. but
they are now rallying for the'Uttion against Eng
land.
In other places the feeling seems, as per our
numerous exchanges, to be very much the same
as expressed in Baltimore. There is no very
great apprehension of war, as being imminent;
but if it must come, let'it be met boldly. No
cringing.

Washington.
DECEMBER 16.—The news from England has
occasioned no marked excitement among public
men, the indignant tone of the British press hav
ing been anticipated; hence the absence of ex
pressions of surprise. As to the Administration,
there is reason to believe that neither the Presi
dent nor any member of the Cabinet will be di
verted in the least degree from their present
course of conducting the war.
A few days ago the Bouse of Representatives
passed a resolution calling on the Secretary of.
War to furnish information concerning the disas
ter itt Ball's Bluff, but the`General-in-Chief con
siders that it would be injurious to the public
service to transmit any reply at present in satis
faction of the request.-
Col. Murphy's 16th New-York Regiment made
some interesting experiments to-day near the
Navy Yard to show with what facility the means
for crossing rivers can be arranged. A pontoon
bridge, three hundred and sixty feet long, was
thrown over the Eastern branch of the Potomac, on
which the regiment, with heavy wagons, passed
with perfect safety. A number of floats were plied
over the river; the soldiers using shovels as pro
pellors.
Our Government has replied to the invitation'
of England, France, and Spain to take part in
the expedition against Mexico, declining to have
anything to-do-with it.
Eighteen hundred mechanics are employed at
the Navy Yard, ,their monthly wages amounting
to one hundred tlibustincl dollars.

PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.-SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1861.
The Expedition Down the Mississippi.
The expedition now being prepared at Cairo,
to operate against the rebels, is one of much in
terest. It will probably proceed against Colum
bus and Memphis ; but possibly it may go up
the Tennessee. A description of the marine part
we copy from an exchange:
The expedition will consist of a fleet of 11
gunboats, 38 floating batteries, and 28 river
steamers. There are now over 200 pieces of can
non, of the heaviest calibre, at Cairo, ready to be
mounted on them.
DESCRIPTION OF ONE OF THE GUNBOATS
The dimensions are to be: Length over all, 175
feet; breadth of beam, 514 feet; depth of hold,
6 feet. The sides are sloped at, an angle of about
45 degrees, and nothing but a plunging shot from
a high bluff could strike the surface at right an
gles. They are sheathed with wrought iron
plates 2,1- inches in thickness, securely bolted to
each other and through the heavy three-feet oak
timber beneath. Each plate has been severely
tested by shots from rifled cannon at different
distances, and is now calculated to resist 'any
missile known to modein warfare. The bow is
pierced with four. port-holes, through which pro
trude the muzzles of four 32-pound Parrott guns:
the stern has three pierces of the same sort, and
the sides have each six formidable 10-inch co
lumbiads. When ready for service, little will be
presented above the water-line save the muzzles of
the guns and the top of the smoke-stacks. The
boilers and the machinery are all under water;
and this - part is so divided with - water-tight com
partments that, in case a ball should enter one,
it can do no material damage. In strength and
effectiveness these gunboats are equal to any fri
gate in the navy, and seems as though able to
cope with Hollins' famous ram itself. This brief
outline of the flag-ship Benton will serve as a
specimen for nearly all the balance. Take them
altoether, .they are about as formidable looking
instruments of destruction as ever navigated
American waters.
The mortar floats, or floating batteries, are
built of pine logs:three-ply thick. They will car
ry one 64-pound columbiad each, and will be
used only for throwing shells among the rebels
on shore.
THE FLEET AND ITS. OFFICERS
A few days mare will put the entire fleet in
working order. Too much praise cannot be be
stowed upon the naval officers for the great, work
they have accomplished in an unprecedenedtly
short time, without the conveniences and appli
ances of a - navy-yard. Generals Grant and Mc-
Clernand also, at Cairo, have been vigorously at
work night and day, and straining every nerve
in forwarding the business of preparation. The
great work of demolishing the rebel batteries and
opening the Mississippi has, no doubt, got main
ly to, be done by these gunboats and their aids.
The work is difficult and extremely perilous, but
our gallant navy, in action, has always been
equal to the demands of the country upon it.
The military part of the expedition will, it is
believed, be under the general command of Ma
jor-General Halleck, who has now his grand
army organized at St. Louis and other points,
and this will be joined by the columns of Gen.
Grant, at Cairo, and that of Gen. Smith, at Pa
ducah. There will probably be between fifty
thousand and seventy-five thousand men in the
expedition.
The naval - part of the expedition will be under
the command of Com. Foote, who has superin
tended the construction and armament of the
gunboats. Com. Foote is an open-hearted, affa
ble sailor and gentleman, and is known in the
navy as one of its most efficient officers. He dis
tinguished himself in China, by the bombarding
and breaching of a Chinese fort, the fort being,
in all respects, a superior work of masonry.
The feat called forth the praise of all foreign
naval officers on that, coast.
The following is a list of the naval officers now
at Cairo, intended for command in the "Flotilla
of the Western Waters: " -
Flag Officer, A. H. Foote, Captain Steimbel,
Captain W. D. Porter, Lieutenant Phelps,
Captain A. H. Kelty, Lieutenant Shirk,
Captain Dove, Lieutenant Wilson,
Captain Mack, Lieutenant Paulding
Captain Pennock, Lieutenant Bishop,
Captain Winslow, Midshipman Lord,
Captain Roger Perry, Master's Mate Buter.
We know nothing as to the time when the ex
pedition will start, nor as to its destination, nor
would we state such things if we knew. But the
above facts are all known and published at Cairo,
and of these no concealment is even there at
tempted to be made.

SYRACUSE, Mo., Dec. Ih.—Saouts bring in
mews of a proposed .meeting of rebel recruiting
offs ere and the formation of a rebel camp in the
The Federal troops in this district are kept ac
tively employed. Squadrons, companies or bat
tallions of cavalry, and sections of light artillery,
if required, are ordered out by Gen, Pope, with
at. reliance and a mystery which is always prii
ductive of good results.' The commanding officer
alone knows where the blow is to be• struck, and
rebel spi,;s in camp are thus thrown off the track,
sad the expeditions thus sent out are almost in
variably successful.
• Scarcely a' day passes without bringing news
af 'a skirmish, and the capture of squads of
Price's recruits. The expedition sent North a
few days since, under Major Marshall, routed a
bond of rebels under Joe Shelby, and captured
four Captains, 'two Adjutants, one T.iieutenant and
forty men, with inns, horses, wagons, a mortar,
aad other articles.
The capture of leading secession recruiting of
ficers and the breaking up of their embryo camps,
is doing much to restore peace and quiet. Those
who are disposed to lay down their arms and re
turn to allegiance, are offered to do so.
Price's army is on its last legs. His men are
leaving in large numbers, and if the present vig

a better state of things is sure to follow. gen.

Sortign
Firmly as Americans believe that Capt. Wilkes
was justifiable in capturing the - rebel Compis
sioners, :Mason and Slidell, on board the English
steamer Ti•ent, still there is great anxiety, to know
boor the English Government will view the affair.
The arrival of the news there made a great com
motion. The' funds fell one per cent. immedi
ately, under the fear of a war." The `London
Triates, however, the great organ of English opin
ion, and which certainly views the United States
with no special favor, says:
"Unwelcome tis the truth may be, it,is nevertheless
a truth that , we`have ourselves established a system
ointernational law which now tells-against us.' In
high-handed and almost despotic. manner we have
in former days claimed privileges"' Over, neutrals
which have at times banded' all the'Maritime
powers of the world against. us:- ' , Weltare theist
ed even upon stopping the ships - of, war of nett
tral nations and. taking British subjects out. of
them; and an instance is given,,by. Jefferson in
his Memoirs in which two nephews
. of
Wasliing
ton were impressed by 'our 'cruisers as they were
returning from Europe, and plecbd as common
seamen under the disciplineof ships of mar. We
have always been the strenuous asserters of the
rights of belligerents over neutrals, and the de
cisions of our Courts of Law, as, they, must now
be cited•by our f,aw Officers, have been in con
firmation of these unreasonable claims, which
have called' into being confederations, andatmed
neutralities against us, and which have'.alwnys
beeernodified in practice . When we Were .not su
preme in our dominion at - sea. - Owing 'to these
facts the authorities which may be cited on this ques
tion arc too numerous and too uniform di to the right
of search by belligerent ships of War over - neutral
siwrehant vessels, to be aispu,tetl. The, only secu
rity that nothing is to be . f ound inconsistent with
amity and the law of nations known to the law of
stations,' said Lord. Stowell, in his celebrated
ease of the Maria, 'is the right of personal visi
tation and search to be exercised- by those who
have, an interest in making,it.',-.
' 'Again, Lord Stowell, in the same judgment,
which is the store-house of all the English law on
this subject, says : 'Be the ships, the cargoes,
and the destination what they may, the right et
visit and search are the ineontestible right of the
cruisers of a belligerent nation. Till they fire
visited and searched it does not appear what the
shipi'Or the destination are; and it is for the pur
pose of ascertaining these points that the neces
sity of this right of visitation and search: exists.
This right is
. so clear in principle that r no man
era► deny it who admits the right of maritime
capture ; because, if you are not at liberty to as
certain by sufficient whether there is
property that can be legally ettPtured, it is im
pessible'to capture. The many European treat
ies which refer to this right refer to it as prax
isting, and merely regulate the exercise of it.
All writers upon 'the law of nations unanimously
acknowlege it.' The great. American authority,
Kent., treating upon the same subject in his Com
mentaries, says : The duty of self-preservation
gives to belligerent nations this right... The doc
trine of the English Admiralty Courts on, the
right of visitation and search, and on the limita
tion of the right, has been recognized in its full
est extent by the Courts of Jnstice in this coun
try. So far as. the authorities go the testimony
of international law writers is all one way, that
a belligerent war cruiser has the right to stop and
visit :and search any`merchant ship upon the high
seas.
" We qttote these authorities because it is .es
sential that upon a matter so important
. as that,
now, before us the public Mind should be well in-'
farmed. But, it roust be remembered that these
decisions were - given under circumstances very
different from those which now occur. Steamers
in those days did not exist, and mail vessels car
rying letters wherein all the nations of the world
have immediate interest 'were unknown. We
Were fighting for existence, and we did in those
days what we should neither do nor allow others
to do, nor expect ourselves to be allowed to do,
in these days_"
- The London Star has this statement: .
" The event has not been
. unatiticipated. It
was, indeed, expected to have come off on this
side of the Atlantic. It is notorious Chat Federal
ships have left our own ports toWatch for
,the
elan steamer, with deliberate intention of taking
front her. the Commissioners. The opinion of the
law officers of our CroNin has been taken on the
stibject, and we are assured that it is Clearly in
favor of the right assumed by .the United States
Government." .
Later intelligenee-in- far more Alarming— -The
City of Wenhingtora brings news to' the ; oth inst.
We give a few items. .
The Observer steles that. the Government has
demanded from President:Lincoln and his Cabi
net the persons of the Southern, envoys to .the
British Government. A special messenger, of the
Foreign Office has been ordered to carry .to
Washington the demands of the British Govern
ment for Lord Lyons, and will proceed to-day by
packet from Queenstewn. There is no reason
why Mason and Slidell should notbe restored to
the quarter-deck of• the British Admiral at New-
York, or Washington itself, in the face 'of some
tenor;terelve menLof-war, whose presence in' the'
Potomac would render the blustering Cabinet at
Washington as helpless as the Trend:was before
the guns end cutlasses of the San Jacinto. It is
no fault of ,ours if it Should come to this. The
arrangements for increasing the force. in Cantaa
are not ,yet complete but in a few hciurs every
thing will })e settled. Li the meantime a• large
ship, ,the Melbourne, has been taken :up and
is now being loaded with Armstrong guns,,- some,
eighty. thousand Enfield rifles, ammunition, and'
other stores, at Woolwich. It is not impassible
that this vessel will be escorted by one orlwo.
ships of war. The rifles are intended for 'the'
Canadian military, and a strong., reinforce
ment of field, artillery will be dispatched forth
. •
. The Morning Star declares that the statement,
of instructions having been sent to Lord Lyons.
t 4 obtain the restitution of the Confederate Com
missioners; or to take leave of Washington, was
premature, and so exaggerated as to be virtually
untrue..
'The Liverpool Catt!rier believes that the War
rior' has been ordered to -Annapolis with the ulti
matum' of the Government, ,-. • .
The steamer Jura arrived out on, the 29th.
The London. Times, in alluding to the decision,
of the British Cabinet, says that the; arrest Of'
Mason'aud - Slidell is it clear violationof the 'law
of natiOns, rind believes' that Lord . Lyons will
be instructed , by the first steamer:to demand
reparation, and if net complied with,: V.ll be

At: the banquet at Rochdale, Mr. Bright - made
an elaborate speech on American affairs; biit de-;

States will make fitting.reparation. Re strongly

The shipment of rifles from England for New-

Appearances indicate that the French papers
have been instructed to write in an anti-American
tone. The 'Pairie argues pretty clearly that
France will side with England, recognize the
South, and take a decided attitude in the inter

The Liverpool Post gives a rumor that Na
