THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA The following further correspondence relating to the civil war in the United States of North America has just been printed;-- No. 1. MR. ADAMS TO EARL IttiSSELL—(Reinived June 21.) Legation of the United States, London, June 20, 1862. My Lord,—l have the honour to transmit to your lordship a copy of the despatch from the Secretary of State to me of the 28th ult., which I was desired to read to you in my interview of yesterday, but which Ifound I had accidentally left at home.—Re- Lowing, &c., (Signed) CHARLES FRANCIS ADAAIS. Inclosure in No. 1. MR. SEWARD TO MR. ADAMS. Washington, May 28, 1862. Sir,—Your despatch of the Bth of May has been received. 'There is a statement in the public journals that 30 vessels which had left British ports with a com mon design to run our blockade, have gathered at Nassau, and that they are now remaining there awaiting the relaxation of the blockade at some of the Southern ports Which the President has per mitted to take place on the Ist of June, preferring to avail themselves of that lawful privilege rather than persevere in their prohibited operations. I think, th.erefore, that we may congratulate our selves o.pon ha v i ng a d vance d to a new stage in our intercou rse with maritime powers affecting the pre sent troubles in the United States, a stage at which motives of sympathy in foreign countries with the insurgents derived from the pressure of the block ade will disappear. This stage is also marked by another improve ment of the case, namely, the withdrawal from the ocean of the pirates who have occasionally sought shelter and protection in friendly ports while com mitting depredations on American commerce. Under the President's instructions I desire to improve the position thus obtained, to confer, if our representatives abroad should think it discreet, with the friendly nations upon the prospects of the war and their future course in regard to it. By way of introduction, I beg to recall to your recollizetion the facts, that at the earliest proper moment I set forth most distinctly the opinions of ;this Government that the mutual interests, present and permanent, of a ll mar i t i me na tions, including this country, require the pre servation of harmonious relations between them, and that the same interests demand that, so far as possible, peace shall prevail throughout the world, and especially in the United States and upon the American continent. In expl ana ti on of these views I set forth the opi nion that the industrial systems of Western Europe and the United States, including their agriculture, manufactures and commerce, are in some respeets to be rewarded less as distinct national systems than as one general combination ofagricultural, man ufac turing, and commercial agencies, in which a jar in one country necessarily produces disturbance i n a ll others, so that a serious disorganisation of the ma chinery employed in production here cannot fail to result in derangement, probably in disaster, every where abroad. There aro now some painful evidences that these speculations were not unsound. There is distress among the peasantry of Ireland, in the manufactur ing towns of Bel g i um, and the wine presses and silk looms in some parts of France seem to be corn ing to a dead st an d. All the sufferers—l will not stop to Inquire how justly—tracetheir misfortunes to the civil war of the United States. It is manifest that what the European nations want is an end of th at war as speedy, and leaving the industrial sys tem of this country as little disorganised, as possi ble. It would seem impossible for any considerate person to doubt that this is the very consum mation which the Government of the United States must want even more than it can be desired by the European States. This Government has expressed that want earnestly, decidedly, sometimes perhaps even impatiently. Nevertheless the war has con tinued a whole year, against the wishes of Europe as well as of America. A new campaign is even beginning. In order to determine whether it is 'likely to reach the desired end, it may not be un profitable to consider the causes of its prolongation to the present period. This Government at the be ginning assumed, and it has constantly insisted, that the Union could, must, and should be pre served. On the other hand, the European nations, when they saw the storm burst upon the country , either doubted, or actually disbelieved, the pos sibility of that great salvation. Europe had but a subordinate and indirect interest in the great pro blem, and it supposed that if the United States could only be convinced that the Union could not in the end be preserved, they would at once forego the contest, and consent to a national dissolution, which it was erroneously thought would be followed by peace, while we knew that it would only be the beginning of endless war. Thus European opinion has practically favoured the insurgents, and encou raged them with ephemeral sympathies and unreal expectations of foreign intervention, and has thus protracted the war to the present time. Certainly this government and the American people are even more confident of the preservation of the Union now than they were a year ago, and are therefore even less likely now than they were then to accept peace, with the inconceivable pains and perils of dissolution. Can it be presumptuous, then, for us to ask European statesmen to review in the light of the events of the war the opinion which they formed at so early a stage of it, that the opinion itself might, perhaps, properly be deemed a preju dice ? Of course, in such a review, the observer would not overlook the contrast between the position which the Federal Government held a year ago and its present situation. Then it had been practically expelled, with all its authorities, civil, military, and n aval, from every State south of the Potomac, Ohio and Missouri rivers, whilst it was held in close siege in this capital, cut off from communication with even the States which had remained loyal. Now, it has virtually retaken all the positions it so early lost on the seaboard ; it possesses the Mississippi and all the other great natural highways, and has forced the insurgents to battle in the most inacces sible part of the insurrectionary district. The forces and resources of the G a y er nment are unexhausted and increasing. Those of the insurgents are dimi nished and becoming nearly exh austed. No one, either here or in Europe now contests these simple facts. The only argument oppo not tosed to ned them is, that the ins ur gents have deterroi acknowledge the authori t y of the Union. The evi dence of this is a certain resolute and defiant tone maintained by their organs. -- Certainly, so long as the insurgents have any hope of ultimate success, they could not be expected t o discourse otherwise than in just such a tone, no r will they fail to cherish such a hope so long as they find a willingness to meet it with sym pathy in Europe. The very last advices which came from that quarter previous to the arrival there of the news of the fall of New Orleans and Norfolk were full of speculations about some newly conceived form of intervention. But it must be remembered that the insurgents are men, and that they may reasonably be expected to speak and to act like other belligerent factions under similar conditions. So al'ao being men and subject to the laws which determine the economy of society, they must in all cases conform them selves, however unwillingly, to the circumstances by which they are surrounded. They cannot, more than other masses of men, determine for them- selves, under one state of circumstances what they will do under a different one. A writer upon war advises brave men never to nail their colours to the staff, remarking that if they shall be able, and find it desirable, they can maintain it there without nailing, while it will be more convenient to lower it if they shall find themselves unable or no longer desirous to keep it e y i n g• But speaking practi cally, w hat has been th e result thus far in the pre sent case'? Has disloyalty been found an indomi table s entiment in this War ? It pervad e d even thi s capital and this district at the beginning of the strife. It no. logger exists here. It divid e d Mary or flint there. T he Union is land, and provoko now as strong in that state as in any one of the always loyal states. It committed Missouri to the pretended new Confederacy. Missouri is now ac tive and eornest among the loyal star= s. It placed Kentucky in an attitude of neutrality. But Ken tucky is to-day firm, resolute, and een self-devoted to the Union. In other regions here disloyalty was more general, such as Eastern Virginia, Ten nessee, and Louisiana, and North Carolina, acquies cence under the Federal authorities has promptly followed their appearance there, and the preli minary steps are taken for the restoration of the laws of the Union. It is a simple fact that loyalty reappears everywhere just so fast as the successes of the government are deemed sufficient to afford a guaranty for reliance upon its protection. The dis-Unionists, even in their strongest holds, are not a people, but only a faction, surpassing the loyal in numbers, and silencing them by terrors and severities in many places ; but, nevertheless, too few and feeble to prevent the return of any district or any state to the Union, in the presence and under the protection of the Federal authorities. The President asks foreign nations to consider that we are only at the end of one year now, and yet the whole effective mass of the insurrectionary region has been brought into the field by conscrip tion. The credit of the revolution is dead before the first dollar has been raised by taxation to sup port it, and the territory which must bear taxation is at once reduced to the narrowest limits, and is ex hausted of its wealth and supplies. The power of a losing faction under any circum stances must continually grow less. But that of the dis-Unionists is abating under the operation of a cause peculiar to themselves, which it is now my duty to bring forward—l mean the practice of Afri can slavery. lam aware that in regard to this point I am opening a subject which was early interdicted in this correspondence. The reason for the interdic tion and the reason for a departure from it are, however, equally obvious. It was properly left out of view, so long as it might be reasonably hoped that by the practice of magnanimity this Govern ment might cover that weakness of the insurgents without encouraging them to persevere in their trea sonable conspiracy against the Union. They have protracted the war a year notwithstanding this for bearance of the Government, and yet they persist in invoking foreign arms to end a domestic strife, while they have forced slavery into such prominence that it cannot be overlooked. The re gion where the i nsurrection still remains flagrant embraces all or parts of several states, with a white population of 4,500,000, and a negro population of 3,500,000, chiefly slaves. It is thus seen to be a War between two parties of the white race, not only in the presence,but in the very midst, of the enslaved negro race. It is notorious—we could not conceal the fact if we would —that the dispute bet ween them arose out of questions in which the negro race have a deep and lasting interest, and that their sympathies, wishes, and interests naturally, necessarily, in evitably, fall on the side of the Union. Such a civil war between two parties of the white race, in such a place and under such circumstances, could not be expected to continue long before the negro race would begin to manifest some sensibility and some excitement. We have arrived at that stage already. Everywhere the American general receives his most useful and reliable information from the negro, who hails his coming as a harbinger of freedom. Where ever the national army advances into the insurrec- tionary region, African bondsmen, eseaping from their insurrectionary masters, come out to meet it, and to offer their service and labour in whatever capacity they may be desired. So many of these bondsmen have, even without the invitation, and often against the opposition of the Federal military and naval authorities, made their way from bondage among the insurgents to freedom among the loyalists, that the Government finds itself occupied with the consideration of measures to provide them with domiciles at home or abroad. Not less than 100 such escape every day ; and as the army advances, the number increases. If the war should continue indefinitely, every slave will become not only a free man, but an absentee. If the insurgents shall resist their escape, how could they hope to prevent the civil war they have inangurated from degene rating into a servile war? True, a servile popu lation, especially onesolong enslaved as the Africans in the insurrectionary states, require time and trial before they can organise a servile war; but if the war continues indefinitely, a servile war is only a question of time. The problem, then, is, whether the strife shall be left to go on to that point. The Government, animated by a just regard for the general welfare, including that of the insurrec tionary states, adopts a policy designed at once to save the Union and rescue society from that fearful catastrophe, while it con sults the ultimate peaceful relief of the nation from slavery . It cannot be necessary to prove to any enlightened statesman that the labour of the African in the insurrectionary region is at present indispensable as a resource of the insurgents for continuing the war, not is it now necessary to show that this same labour is the basis of the whole in • dustrial system existing in that region. The war is thus seen to be producing already a disorganisa tion of the industrial system of the insurrectionary states, and tending to a subversion of even their social system. Let it next be considered that the European sys t ems of industry are largely based upon the Afri can slave labour of the insurrectionary states em ployed in the production of cotton, tobacco, and rice and on the free labour of the other states employed in producing cereals, out of which combined pro ductions arises the demand for European produc tions, materials, and fabrics. The disorganisation of industry, which is already revealing itself in the states, cann o t b u t i m p a i r th e i r insurrectionary ability to prosecute the war, and at the same time result indirectly in greater distress in Europe. On the other hand this disorganisation operates far less injuriously at present to the Federal Go- vernment and to the loyal States. Every African labourer who escapes from his service is not only lost to the support of the insurrection, but he brings an accession to the productive labour of the loyal States, and to that extent increases their ability to continue the contest in which they are reluctantly engaged. The failure of foreign importation as heretofore in return for the exportation of Southern stamples stimulates the manufacturing industry of the loyal States. Immigration is accelerated by an activity in these States resulting from extended manufacture and the prosecution of the war. Thus has the phenomenon appeared, disappointing so many prophecies in Europe, that the war impo verishes and exhausts only the insurrection and not the Union. I shall not contend that these effects would be perpetual. I know there is a reckoning for every nation that has the misfortune to be in- volved in war, and I do not expect for the United l t States any exemption from that inexorable law; bat it is enough for my present purpose that the Penalti es are neither mor e severe nor more immi nentthan the loyal states can endure, while bring ing this unha ppy contest to its desired conclusion. Let us n ow 11 gose that any one or more European states should right or expedient to inter vene the United States to accept vene by for ce to o k br it th s a cvereignty. What other a compromise of seri zto render inevitable, and effect could it produ ce even hurry on that structive of all Europe an is mar so completely de which this gov ernment so stusdLQ;usly s t r i ves to ts in this country, avoid? I know that the da nger tion attempting such a p olic y , i f it hat y , foreign na has passed, as I am happy in knowin;rtehaisted, foreign government has ever threatened sii,, at no inter vention, while several magnanimous goverment: have repudiated all unfriendly designs. I h%,,,,, pat forward that hypothesis only by way of prefac e t o a question not less significant, namely, what must be the effect of such a policy abroad as will encourag e the insurgents with hopes of an intervention which is never to occur? Is not that effect visible in the obstinacy of the insurgents in their destruction of the cotton and tobacco already cultivated, and liable to be brought into commerce by the return of peace, and in their studied neglect of planting the seed of their staples, and turning so much of the African labour as they arc able to save into the production o f supplies of provisions and forage, to enable them to continue the war? The effect will be farther developed, as time goes THE SUN, !'f,ONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 13, i 862. on, in opening a way for that servil e war , which, if it shall be permitted to come, will produce infinite suffering throughout the world, and can only at last result in an entirely new system of trade and com merce between the United States and all foreign nations. I need not say that these views are not grounded on any proceedings or expressions of the British Government, and are to be submitted to them only as they will be to other states, from a strong desire on the part,of the President that the true condi tion of the present strife may be everywhere fully understood.—l am, &c., (Signed) WILLIAM H. SEWARD. No. 2. EARL RUSSELL TO MR. STUART. Foreign Office, July 28, 1862. Sir,--I have left hitherto unanswered and un noticed a dispatch of Mr. Seward's, which Mr. Adams delivered to me more than a month ago. I have done so partly because the military events referred to in it were, in the opinion of her Majes ty's Government, far from being decisive, and partly because there was no proposal in it upon which her Majesty's Government were called upon to come to any conclusion. Events subsequent to the date of Mr. Seward's letter have shown that her Majesty's Government in their opinion upon the first of these• points were mistaken. Victories have been gained, reverses have followed ; positions have been reached in the near neighbourhood of the capital of the Confede rates, and these positions have been again aban doned. These events have been accompanied by great loss of life in battle and in hospital ; while such measures as the Confiscation Bill, passed through both Houses of Congress, and the procla mation of General Butler at New Orleans, bear evidence of the increasing bitterness of the strife. The approach of a servile war, so much insisted on by Mr. Se ward in his despatch, only forewarns us that another element of destruction may be added to the slaughter, loss of property, and waste of in dustry, which already afflict a country so lately prosperous and tranquil. Nor on the other point to which I have adverted have I anything new to say. From the moment when the intelligence first reached this country, that nine states and several millions of inhabitants of the great American Union had seceded and had made war on the government of the President, down to the present time, her Ma jesty's Government have pursued a friendly, an open, and a consistent course. They have been neutral between the two parties to a civil war. Neither the loss of the raw material of manufacture, so necessary to a great portion of our people, nor• the insults constantly heaped upon the British name in speeches and newspapers, nor the rigour beyond the usual practice of nations with which the Queen's subjects attempting to break the loose blockade of the Southern ports have been treated, have induced her Majesty's Government to swerve an inch from an impartial neutrality. At this moment they have nothing more at heart than to see that communication of which the Presi dent speaks in his answer to the governors of eigh teen states—namely, the bringing this unnecessary and injurious civil war to a speedy and satisfactory conclusion. As to the course of opinion in this country, the President is aware that perfect freedom of comment upon all public events is in this country the invari able practice, sanctioned by law, and approved by the universal sense of the nation.—l am, &c., (Signed) RUSSELL: sary. As soon as the irkansas appeared in sight the Carondelet fired on ler, and received her heavy ordnance in return, several shot and shell passing through the wooden potion of the national ship, killing 9 men and wounling 22. For a few minutes the fight was very brisk but it soon became evident to Capt. Walke that he was no match for his anta gonist, and he concludet, therefore, to board her. An order was given to tiat effect, and the Caron delet ran alongside her iron foe, and a number of brave fellows leaped aboard ; but, finding there was no apparent possibility of getting below, or induc ing the enemy to come on:, they were compelled to return to their own vessel A brave and gallant act was theirs, though in this instance valour did not obtain its reward. The Arkansas steamed off from her antagonist, though no; before one of her shot had burst a steam pipe in the Carondelet, causing some 40 or 50 of her crew to jump overboard, and, as a few of them are missing, there is little doubt they were drowned. " The heavy firing up the Yazoo w as plainly heard on the fleet, and it was supposed the Tyler was shelling the woods; but when, about 6 o'clock, the reports grew louder and louder, denoting the ap proach of the vessels, it was generally surmised the Union boats must have met an enemy in the river. Speculation grew rife, and anxiety and curiosity large, and many wistful eyes were turned up the Mississippi. " The eyes were not long strained. Just before 7 o'clock the ram Queen of the West was observed coming at a high rate of speed around the bend, and two or three shots struck near her almost as soon as she came in sight. That the Queen was hotly pur sued by an enemy there could be no longer any reasonable doubt. If there had been, the appearance of the Tyler in the wake of the ram would have removed the lingering scepticism. In less than two minutes more, the formidable foe was perceived steaming down after her adversaries—the sole sign of life about her being a thick, heavy column of smoke proceeding from her solitary chimney. She soon diminished her speed, and it was generally supposed she would ascend the Yazoo. No one be lieved she would dare to come down to the fleet, where it seemed certain she must be overpowered by the vastly superior force. The iron monster did not stop, however, but continued her course steadily and slowly toward our vessels, keeping in the channel, without turning to the right or left, but firing her guns every few seconds at the nearest vessels. " That was a formidable gauntlet to run. Fifteen war vessels and seven rams. Would she contend with them alone ? Could she hope to eseape them all ? Did she dare to rush upon her own destruc tion ? From her movements she evidently did. " There were the Hartford and the Richmond, with their huge batteries of 26 guns each; the Oneida, the Iriquois, Wissahickon, Scioto, De Soto, and Wyoming, of Farragut's fleet; and the iron clad Benton, Essex, Cincinnati, Louisville, Sumter, and General Bragg, of Davis's flotilla, with the rams Switzerland, Queen of the West, Lancaster, Mingo, Lioness, Hornet, and Fulton. This formi dable array had no terrors for the Arkansas. She moved on as if they had not been there ; and many of the officers of the fleet were for a moment lost in wonderment at the extreme boldness of her most perilous attempt. As she moved down one of Far ragut's gunboats opened fire upon her; then another and another. Whether they struck her or not I could not perceive ; but their shot could not have harmed her. She replied promptly, and the fire soon grew warm. " The hot summer morning thrilled with the roar of battle ; and the shells went hissing through the air like great serpents, writhing destructively through space. The few silences were impressive —almost awful ; and I could hardly turn my eyes away from the small, strange, fearless craft de scending the river, with the black trail abuve and behind her, and the baleful flash of her .steadily replying guns. " The Arkansas soon arrived where several of the rams were lying, and the Lancaster turned to butt her. Just as the ram had presented her side the rebels fired two of her guns, and instantly steam in great volumes was seen to pour out of the Lancas ter. The mud-receiver of the ram had exploded. The casualties have been ascertained to be 11, in killed, wounded, and missing. The second engineer is missing, and is supposed to be lost. John Wylsant, chief engineer, is very badly scalded, and can hardly survive. One of the firemen and the second cook, both negroes, are dead. John Dowell, first cook, dangerously scalded. The other rams had not s.ffl'icient steam to do any damage, and were compelled, therefore, to let the enemy go by. A skiff, crowded to its utmost capacity, put off from the Lancaster, but before she reached the shore she sank, but nearly ail her inmates (some 12 or 15), save two or three, were picked up by tugs that went to their assist ance. The Lancaster was severely injured by the Arkansas' shots, and seemed to be sinking. She made signals of distress, and the Switzerland, Queen of the West, and Champion No. 3, went to her aid and towed her up the river, down which she had been for some time helplessly drifting. " The Richmond and Hartford fired a number of guns as the dangerous enemy passed ; but strange to say, gave her no magnificent broadside as I had expected they would. The Oneida blazed, the Sumter and General Bragg let off their Dahlgrens, Farragut's gun-boats threw ponderous shot, the Cincinnati and Louisville thundered, the Essex and Benton howled forth their rage in the shape of im mense shells at the arch foe. But the arch foehesi tated not, reeked not, turned not aside. Onward and forward the Arkansas moved, as if she were covered with the armour of invincibility, and be yond the power of harm, Again and again her guns flashed. She paid her respects to all, and the water and the trees and the shores bore the marks of the fulling shot. In the distant forest a live oak was rent as by a thunderbolt, and in the remote fields the earth was ploughed up by a shell as if a mine had exploded in the earth. " The scene was grand and impressive. It was sad, however, to a loyal spirit to observe the inso lent but fearless foe passing the long line of fire un scathed, running the dangerous gauntlet without receiving an apparent wound. After she had Parsed all the Union vessels she sent back their shots defiantly, and at last disappeared around the head of the peninsula, and run under the guns of the water batteries of Vicksburg, where she had been anxiously expected, and where she must have been received with profuse welcome. She merited such welcome, and even though an enemy, we award her praise for her brilliant daring in a most unholy cause. " None of Davis's or Farragut's vessels bad suffi cient steam to enable them to follow the Arkansas. They had no thought, much less fear, of a hostile gun-boat, and of course they were surprised and unprepared for the occasion. How many times more before the war is ended will we be surprised. Will we never learn wisdom by severe and painful experience ? " Some 20 minutes after the Arkansas had disappeared, the Benton, Captain W. L. Phelps, and then the Cincinnati went down, and engaged the Arkansas and the upper batteries in a most animated way. The Cincinnati was struck several times, but unhurt. The Benton went immediately under the guns of the enemy, and fought them and the Secession ram for more than half an hour with great spirit and skill. " Several shots passed into Davis's flag ship, and as they were larg e an d plung i ng, t h e y i n j ure d the boat materially, though not so seriously as to pre vent her repairs f rom b e i ng ma d e h ere . "Three of her crew were i n j ure d, W. H. Lewis , killed; John H. Grey and W. H. Travis mortally wounded. Lewis was standing with the pipe of a hot-water hose in his hand, prepared for the enemy if he should attempt to board, when the shot e ntered at the bo w of the ship, and passing along upper part of the breast, carrying a st w ru ay ck h l i i s in h i e i a i the d i an and rendering him a horrid and un distinguishable corpse. " One 128-pounder entered the port quarters, passed through the third master's room into the cookingi p n low. The en emy fi re d w i t h much precision apartment, an d t h en i nto t h e C ommo dore's cabin, finally r o ll e d upon t h e b e d an d l a y upon and seemed well acquaint e d w ith the most vulnerable thec portions of our iron-clad. The fire upon the Benton_ was tremendous, and she gained much honour for the heroic manner in which she opposed herself to great odds, almost alone and unassisted: " The total loss will probably be about 22 in killed and missing, and 65 or 60 in wounded. No officers were lost except those I have mentioned on the Tyler, and it is fortunate so many escaped. "The Arkansas, which is a ram as well as a gun boat, is not more than half as large as one of Davis's gunboats ; is low and flat, covered with double railway-iron (T rail); built with slanting sides, without decks or any openings or apertures save the ports; carries 12 large guns, three on each side, two forward and two aft ; has one chimney, and looks almost, if not quite, invulnerable. She is of a light brown or reddish brown hue, much like the banks of the Mississippi, and at a distance could not well be distinguished therefrom. " No human being was visible on or about her as she passed down the river, though her guns were promptly and accurately fired, and her unseen sharpshooters directed their pieces at every man they could see within range. The sharpshooters were very industrious and energetic, and their balls were constantly whistling through the air, though their sharp note was generally swallowed up in the deep roar or loud shriek of the heavy guns. " It is something singular that no proper recon noissance was ever made up the Yazoo. Everyone knew the Arkansas had been taken there from Memphis in an unfinished state, and there were various reports about her. No one attempted to learn what was true or false, though Lieutenant- Ellett urged the importance and necessity of a gun boat expedition day after day, and even sent up the Queen of the West and Switzerland to do the best they could under the circumstances. The mouth of the Old River was not even guarded, and so the Arkansas came like a thief in the night, albeit Farragut had been officially assured the Rebel gunboat would leave Liverpool Landing at midnight on Monday, July 14. This neglect or in difference seems almost criminally culpable. We are paying its cost in a way no one would regard as cheap—in wounded feeling and mortified pride. When the flotilla first arrived here there was nothing to do for awhile, and such leisure should have been made advantageous by a thorongh com prehension of the situation there. What the Arkansas meant, unless bravado, I do not perceive, for she had valuable property to protect in the Yazoo, and was not needed at Vicksburg, where the batteries are sufficient defence for the city. Per haps the formidable rebel had her own purpose. Perhaps she has a mission to perform. She is splendidly daring. She may be exceedingly dis creet. Therefore we will not criticise her severely; for she has surprised us once by a brilliant achieve ment. She may surprise us again. " On the.lsth , about noon, Commodore Farragut and Davis agreed to make a general attack on Vicks burg, and, if possible, sink and capture the Arkan sas, even under the protection of the enemy's guns. Doubtless they burned to wipe away the stain of the morning. That their self-love diminished some what after they saw the Arkansas go around the bend apparently unscathed, there can be little ques tion. No marvel they desired to do something to forget their mortification. " A little after 6 o'clock the vessels of both fleets gave signs of moving down the river, and just be fore 7 Davis's boats steamed toward the bend, and opened the evening's entertainment by a vigorous attack on the upper batteries, which did not reply for some time. The Hartford, Richmond, Oneida, and the gunboats of the Gulf squadron soon de scended the stream, and swelled the roar of battle to an impressive volume. " Davis's vessels engaged the upper batteries, while Farragoes ships passed below. The rebels thundered from above the town at the gunboats, and struck them a number of times, but did no material injury; while the nether guns cut Faragut's rigging, but usually shot too high to do harm. Shots aimed at the passing Union boats often crossed the penin sula and alighted in the river, so elevated and harm less was the aim of the enemy, who must have been greatly excited or alarmed, Whatever the cause, he did not fire with anything like the accuracy or cool ness he exhibited in the morning, or at any previ ous time since the commencement of the siege. " The enemy, after 20 minutes' fighting, was driven from the upper batteries, but it is probable he has since returned. Whether any of his guns were dismounted or not is unknown, though it is reasonable to suppose they might have been, under such a continuous and heavy fire as was poured upon them from our gallant gunboats. During the last hour of the engagement the upper batteries were entirely silent, the action being confined to Farra gut's vessels far below the city. "The Arkansas lay off the town under the water batteries of the rebels, but did not fire at all during the bombardment. Though the Sumter was sent down purposely to sink her, she did not succeed in doing so ; but it is said she butted and crippled her during the action. This noon the Arkansas still lies, without steam, in her old position, and no one, apparently, in or about her. She seems to be a good deal hurt, and it is reported there are several large holes in her, and that her crew were indus triously engaged the greater part of yesterday in pumping her out I hope her last battle has been fought, but I greatly fear she will yet give us much trouble. Until we capture or destroy her we can not feel very secure; for she has demonstrated her ability to set our fleet at defiance. That, however, was under peculiar circumstances, and we trust and think it will be different when she meets our ves sels under different auspices. Since writing the above I have received the names of the following persons who were killed and wounded on board the gunboat Tyler during her engagement with the Arkansas :—Oscar T. Davis, third assistant-engineer, killed ; T. J. Hood, sea man, killed ; David Hines, pilot, slightly wounded; John Sebastian, pilot, seriously wounded ; R. H. Smith, pilot (of ram Lancaster), slightly wounded; J. W. Holly, seaman, dangerously; J. T. Milford, seaman, seriously ; James Hughes, seaman, slightly; James Morris, seaman; S.Tracey, seaman, slightlyl; R. Carter, coal-heaver, slightly ; Fred. Crosier, fire man, slightly.

The gunboats were struck 13 times by the Arkansas, and fired 75 shots during the action. " The Sidney, C. Jones, one of Commodore Porter's mortar fl :et, I have forgotten to mention, was blown up by her own men yesterday, for fear, as she was hard aground, that she would be captured by the Arkansas. The 13-inch mortar and two 32-pounders the Jones carried were spiked, and are now lying in the mud a t th e b ottom of the river. The carelessness of the crew had caused the beaching of the Jones, but her destruction was a military necessity under the circumstances." THE CONDEMNED MURDERESS AT LEWES. — The Secretary of State for the Horne Department having had under his consideration the whole of the circumstances of the case of Elizabeth Jane Ilunnisett, who was tried, convicted, and ser tented to death at Lewes assizes for the wilful murder OA her infant child, on the sth of April last, has recommended that the mercy of the Crown should be extended, and the capital sentence will not, therefore, be carried into effect. The ultimate punishment of the wretched woman has not yet been decided on. In the ease of Flood the matter is still under the consideration of Sir George Grey.

In realarious dis tricts and unhealthy towns, these Pills, after silently prov ing themselves the best protectives against levers, &c., have within the last few years been adopted by the profes sion and public. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—GUILDFORD, Aug. 12. (Before Baron Martin and a Special Jury.) WHITE V. STEELE AND ANOTHER. This was an action of a novel character, it being what is called an action of prohibition, the jury being empanelled by the direction of the Court above to try a certain question of fact, namely, whether, at a vestry meeting of the parishioners of Plumstead, after a particular resolution had been carried by show of hands, a poll was demanded. Sergeant Shee and Mr. J. Browne were for the plaintiff; Mr. Bovill, Q.C., and Mr. F. White were for the defendants, who are the churchwardens of Plumstead. This cause arose out of certain proceedings that have been the subject of litigation upon several oc casions in the superior courts, the real question at issue being the validity of a rate that was made in January, 1860, for the purpose of making a new burial ground, the old churchyard at Plumstead having been closed by order of the Secretary of State. the issue the present jury were impanelled to try was whether, in point of face, a poll had been demanded or not ; the case, on the part of the de fendants, apparently being that although a poll was undoubtedly demanded this had reference to the question of adjournment and not to the rate that was the subject of dispute. A great number of witnesses were examined, and at seven o'clock the cause was adjourned. (Before Baron Bramwell and a Common Jury.) SCOTT V. WAKEM. This was an action to recover damages from the defendant for false imprisonment, to whom he pleaded that he was a medical man, and that he was called in to attend the plaintiff in that capa city, and that he found that he was suffering from delirium tremens, and that he was a dangerous lunatic, and that it was necessary to restrain him, and also that what was done was with his consent. Mr. Montague Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Prentice were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Sergeant Parry and Mr. Lloyd appeared for the defendant. This cause commenced on Monday, and was ad journed until this morning, and, as will be gathered from the form of the action, the case was one of a very peculiar character. The plaintiff in the action it appeared had formerly been in the naval service, but he had become possessed of considerable pro perty, and at the time the transaction took place he was living with his wife in Brook-street, Lambeth. The defendant is a medical gentleman living is the same neighbourhood, who holds several public ap pointments, one of which was that of surgeon to the late Queen's Bench Prison, and he also holds the same appointment to the L division of police. The transaction that was the subject of inquiry took place on the 10th of February, and it appeared that upon this day the plaintiff had been drinking and was a little excited, and it was alleged by him that the defendant, who had attended upon the plaintiff a short time before, but who was not his regular medical attendant, went to the plaintiff's house, and, according to the case for the plaintiff, he sent a man named Street to the house to take charge of him, and he remained with him all night, and this was the false imprisonment of which the plaintiff com plained, and for which he now sought to obtain damages. It was admit ted that the plaintiff was in the habit of drinking freely, but it was said that he was not violent when he was in a state of intoxica tion, and, upon the day in question, he was merely slightly excited from drink, but that he had made arrangements to go to the Princess's Theatre in the evening, and that his carriage had been - ordered, and it was said that if he had been suffered to remain quiet he would soon have perfectly recovered. The plain tiff, himself, his wife, and his sister, and some other persons were called as witnesses in his behalf, and they all stated that the plaintiff had never been guilty of any violence towards them. and that he had also never exhibited any symptoms of insanity, although it was admitted that when the plaintiff had been drinking he used to talk very loud, but the witnesses said that he only acted in this respect like other seafaring men, who were usually rather boisterous. It also appeared that the plaintiff kept a six-barrel revolver in his bedroom, and that he had a pair of other pistols, but all the witnesses de clared that he had never made any attempt to use these weapons, and they also swore that the defen dant went to the house of his own accord, and that he was not sent for to attend upon the plaintiff on the day in question. Sergeant Parry, in addressing the jury on behalf of the defendant, said, that to a man in his posi tion, this inquiry was a most serious one, as his pro fessional reputation and character depended entirely upon the result. He said that according to his instructions there was not the slightest pretence for this action, and that he should be able to show that the defendant had acted in the kindest possible manner to the plaintiff, and that he had only inter fered at the urgent request and solicitation of the plaintiff's wife and the other persons who were about him, and that there were good grounds for supposing that he would have been guilty of some act of desperate violence if he had not been put under restraint. Mr. Wakem, the defendant, was then exa mined, and according to his evidence, it ap peared that he first became acquainted with the plaintiff in December, and that he treated him for some particular disease, and he continued under his care until January 22, for that disease. He constantly saw him afterwards, and he consi dered him to be a confirmed drunkard, and he treated him several times for attacks of delirium tremens. Upon one occasion it appeared that the plaintiff rushed into the surgery in a very excited state, and said that some persons were following him, and he was determined to do away with them, and at the same time produced a pair of pistols, and pointed them at the defendant, who was alarmed at his conduct, and upon his observing that he did not believe the pistols were loaded, plaintiff exclaimed, " Oh, arn't they by - !" and then went to the door and discharged them. At this time the plain tiff was under the delusion that persons were fol lowing him about, and it appeared that he had other delusions. On the day the occurrence took place it appeared that Mrs. Emmett, a person who was in the serviceof the plaintiff ran into the de fendant's surgery without her bonnet and cap, and requested him, for God's sake, to go to the plain tiff's residence immediately, as the plaintiff had threatened to murder his wife, and she also said that he had a revolver. The defendant in conse quence of this went to the house, and had some con versation with Mrs. Scott, during which she in formed him that the plaintiff had threatened to shoot her with the revolver. The defendant then went up stairs, and found the plaintiff in a terribly excited state, and he was held by two men. He was talking ir.coherently, and did not appear to hardly know how he went in, and at this time he was suffering under an attack of delirium tremens. The defendant was informed that Mr. Scott had re turned home on that day from Paris, and that he was intoxicated; and he represented that at the time he saw him he was in a most dangerous state, and was likely to have done some serious mischief either to himself or the persons who were about him. It appeared that the men who were then in charge of the plaintiff could not stop much longer, and Mrs. Scott and her sister were very much alarmed at the thought of being left alone with him, and they requested Mr. Wakem to send for the police, but he told them that the police would not interfere unless he gave a certifi cate, and he believed that, in the excited state in which the plaintiff then was, if he were subjected to any restraint it might cause his death, or render him permanently insane, and he, therefore, refused to sign a certificate. It was stated that after this, and at the earnest solicitation of the plaintiff's wife, he sent a man named Street, whom he had known as an invalid attendant, and who was accustomed to such cases, to take charge of the plaintiff during the night, and about ten o'clock he went himself to the plaintiff's house, and found that he.was a good deal better, and he was willing that Street should leave, but the plaintiff's wife pressed that he might be allowed to remain all night, as she was afraid that, if he were taken away, her husband would begin drinking again, and that some mischief would happen, and at her request he remained in the house all night. On the following morning it appeared that he was still recovering, although in a tremu lous condition, and he did not appear to have any recollection of what had happened, and he inquired of the defendant what had been the matter with him, and he informed him that he had been in a very excited state, and had threatened to kill his wife. He also said that he had been requested to sign a certificate to have him placed under restraint, but that he had refused to do so, and the defendant said that upon this the plaintiff shook him by the hand and said he should never forget his kindness, and that he should always be his medical attendant, and requested that he would send in his bill, and said that he would pay him immediately. The plaintiff then, it appeared, gave a revolver to the defendant, and he handed it to the plain tiff's wife and told her to take charge of it. The plaintiff then, it appeared, inquired how much he should give to Street, the man who had been in charge of him, and Mr. Wakem told him half a sovereign, upon which the plaintiff said he would give him a sovere ign, andhe hand e d him one, and at the same time told him to call and see him whenever he went by, and also promised to take him for a ride in his carriage. Dr. Constable, the partner of the defendant, was upon several occasi ons suffered from delirium treme ns, and to his h aving treated him for also examined, and he s p oke to the fact of th e vtherayt uishaolardtyp-laiat h plaintiff's house, plain tiff having The witness lik ew i se proved that a time before the 10 of February he we nt to the - t and he did not appear to know him, and when his wife came intothe room he did not appear to know her, and told him t o turn that woman out, and the plaintiff himself eventu ally did turn her out of the room. In addition to this evidence a police-seroant, n amed Wells, proved that in the afternoon of the 10th of February, the witness Emmett came to the police-station and begged that a police constable might be sent to the plaintiff's house, and said that he was mad, and had threatened to murder his wife. He told her that he had not got a man whom he could send with her, but if Dr. Wakem gave a cer tificate that the plaintiff was insane he would have him removed to the workhouse or some other place of safe custody. Baron Bramwell, in s'nniming up the evidence, said he was sorry to be obliged to state that it ap peared to him that, from the nature of the evidence that bad been given on one sieie and on the other in this case, it was impossible to come to any other conclusion, than that either the witnesses for the plaintiff, or those for the defendant, had deposed to facts which they must have known were not true, and it was impossible that the contrailictions that appeared in the testimony could be the result of mistake. It was alleged on the part of the defen dant that he was sent for to the plaintiff's house, and that when he arrived he found him in such a state that he felt it necessary for the protection of himself and those about him that he diould put hira under restraint. If this was true hew ould be justi fied in acting as he did, and was entitled to their verdict. On the part of the plaintiff, however, it was positively sworn that the defendant was not sent for at all, and that the plaintiff was perfectly quiet when he arrived, and consequently his inter ference was quite uncalled for and unjust'fiable ; and the jury would have to consider whether the evidence for the plaintiff, or that which had been adduced for the defendant, was the most entitlod to credit. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned verdict for the plaintiff—damages, one farthing. Mr. Baron Bramwell disposed of several other common jury causes, but they were all of an unin teresting character. THE IRON RAM ARKANSAS. The special correspondent of the New York Tri iune, writing from the Mississippi flotilla off Vicks burg, July the 15th, gives the following description of the attack on the Federal gunboats by the Arkansas, the new iron-cased ram, built by the Confederates. He says : " The famous hostile gunboat Arkansas has been discovered at last, and her powers have been severely put to the test. She came when least looked for, and has proved herself what she has been said to be —the Merrimac of the Mississippi. She has braved our entire fleet, and run the gauntlet of 15 of our best vessels in broad light of open day, casting the glove of defiance down, and braving them in their chosen position. The boastings of the enemy in re gard to the strength and efficacy of the Arkansas have been, for once, not without reason. Their promises about her have been verified. She is, indeed, formidable, and, so far as we actually know, invulnerable. We cannot bat yield praise to the Arkansas for her distinguished bravery, nor fail to feel mortified at the extra ordinary result. Certainly, it is not gratifying to our national pride to think that a small vessel with 12 guns moved slowly, quietly, and unconcernedly by fifteen national vessels, carrying over 200 guns, and escaped with impunity. 'Yesterday, the 14th, it was determined that another reconnaissance should be made up the Yazoo as far as Liverpool Landing, for the purpose of really ascertaining the situation in that vicinity, and the intention was to leave at noon: The proper preparations were not made, however, and the ex pedition was deferred until to-day. This morning, at 5 o'clock, the iron-clad gunboat Carondelet, Capt. Henry Welke, the wooden gunboat Tyler, Capt. William G win, and the steam ram Queen of the West, Capt. Joseph Ford, left the fleet for the Yazoo. They had not proceeded more than seven miles up the Old River, into which the Yazoo empties, before they discovered a strange and myste rious looking craft descending the stream rather slowly. She was light-brown in colour, not more than half as large as Davis's gunboats, and had a single chimney. The glasses on board the three vessels were directed toward the stranger, and it was speedily concluded that she must be the much talked of Arkansas, the marine monster, which the rebels had declared would sweep the Union flotilla from the Mississippi. In another moment a heavy report was heard from the enigmatical gunboat, and a huge round shot went howling over the deck of the Tyler. Another and another followed, and the craft increased her speed perceptibly, the Tyler, meanwhile, turning to give her a broadside. Before the Union vessel was in position the enemy was upon her, and discharged three guns at her in rapid succession, The Tyler fired her broadside, but the shot seemed even at that distance to have no effect on the ram, while the latter had pierced her oppo nent at several places. The stranger was iron-clad, and very strong. There was no longer any doubt that she was the Arkansas. Nor was further evi dence wanting to show how vastly she was the superior of the wooden vessel, which soon turned her bow down stream and steamed towards the Mississippi as rapidly as possible. Strange to say, the Arkansas, in spite of her strength and weight, is quite fast—nearly as much so as the Tyler—and kept very close behind her, firing at regular inter vals ; while the Nationalist returned the hostile favours with her stern guns. Almost every shot of the enemy did damage; though most of them in jured the boat only. One round shot entered above the stern-post, and killed and wounded eight or ten men, carrying away the heads of four sailors who were standing in a line and working the piece. There was every prospect the Tyler would be sunk or blown into the air; yet her bravo officers and crew, though they regarded their condition as des perate, still kept up a responsive fire. The enemy's shot crushed and splintered her timbers, and few of the loyal hearts on board expected to escape. The Tyler put on all steam, and still she could gain little upon her pursuer, which followed with the cruelty of a Fury and the directness of a Fate. -By Old River , the time th e b rave U n i on i s t s reac h e d the mout h o f and d igh 2 t l of her men had been killed and 17 wounded.

The inquest in the case of the suicide and at," tempted murder at Cockhill , near Doncaster, to o k place yesterday, and resulted in a verdict offelo cle se. The evidence bore out the facts already state'''. William Smith Savage, the assassin and suicide, was 26 years of age, and a tall, strong, bony man. He was a native of Shipton, near Market Weigh` ton, where his relatives are very respectable. B e had led a wild career, and had got through consi derable money. He came to Mr. Barker, at Cock hill Farm, on April last, in a destitute condition , who since that time kindly provided him with board and lodging, and in return he performed cer tain light duties in connection with the farm. His victim, Charlotte Tyne, is 23 years of age, the daughter of a respectable commercial traveller at Cudworth, near Barnsley, and niece to Mrs. Barker. For between three and four years she had performed the duties of domestic servant in the house. She is described as being a healthy and rather pretty girl. Savage, it appears, had formed an attachment for her, but she rejected his overtures, and this, no doubt, has been the origin of the fearful tragedy which has been enacted. The Coroner, at the close of the inquest, humanely ordered a coffin to be provided for the remains of the deceased, which it was understood, would be de posited at Edlington Churchyard before 6 o'clock the next morning, without any religious ceremony being performed over them. The poor woman Tyne lies in a very dangerous state, and but slight hopes are entertained of her recovery. COUNLIZY 2IARRbJb. -- LEEDS—TUESDAY.
