AUTICS 01P Tflll WICK.

Time who inferred from General Butler's
speech to the peoplis of Nee York, that Mr.
Lincoln's emond term Of ollee would be inSiliftl-
rated by an armistice, have been doomed to dis-
appointment by the Northern President's recent
message to Congress. Not only is there not
even the shadow of an ogee branch to be traced
throughout Mr. Liman; address, but the balm
tank looms even larger than before. The reason
of this is that Mr. Isoln and his coadjuton
have arrived at the coachmion, that the Southern
President would not listen fee a moment to any
terms of p 66011 which 1110161 d involve the return
of the South to the renberal Vein). The North
on the other hand, insists NI pertinaciously as
ever npon nothing lees than surrender and sub-
mission—which were precisely the terms which
the South would net listen to when it took up the
sword. After having learnt that it is a people
endowed with military genius and prowess—at
the very least equal to those of the North—it is
of all things the least probable that the South
will sheath the sword that it has wielded with so
much honour and effect, until it has carved out
for itself independence. At one time Mr. Lin-
coln tempted the "loyal" by the permission to
retain their slaves, whin those of "rebels" were
emancipated by proclamation. In fact, the
proffer of an amnesty and the threatened for-
feiture of their satiates alike failed to move the
South in the smallest ,degree towards Er. Lin-
coln's wishes. lie ears them the same terms
now, without the sl4test concessions of any
kind or degree. On the contrary, be lays even
greater emphasis on the penalties, and hints that,
the decrees touching "forfeitures" may be made I
a little bit sharper. Nor does he stop here. Be
suggests that a solemn act of the Legislature
ought to be substituted for the proclamation
abolishing slavery. What then I It can only
affect those who still remain in the Federal Union
of the North, and cannot have the slightest in-
fluence on the Southern States so long as they
remain unconquered. And precisely the same
thing is said about the confiscation of estates.
Vint catch your hare," Arc. When Mr. Lin-
coln has succeeded in vanquishing the South, be
may indulge in this sort of vapouring With 110tnit-
thing like effect. In the Milan time It is not only
idle—it is preposterous, the more especially he
is able to boast of no great victories over the
South that could warrant what his Yankee friends
are in the habit of characterising as "tall talk."
The utmost he is able to say is that the" Northern
armies have lost no position which they held at
the beginning of the present campaign.' We are
not quite sure that be is warranted in saying even
so much as this—for it is not impossible that at
the very time he issued his Meeesge, the Southern
generals were able to give a tolerably good as-
want of Sheridan and Sherman. And why
should the Northern President, in a solemn
Message, pretend that the Southern States were
still in the Union I It is nothing else than a
political fiction. But Mr. Lincoln anticipates •
great change in the public opinion of the South
at the termination of Mr. Davis's presidency in
1866. Upon what grounds we cannot imagine.
Are they tired of the Confederacy I Mr. Lincoln
has in Many various ways and shapes put forth
experiments for their liberation. It was pre-
tended that the very first expedition into the
Southern States should be for the purpose of
" liberating" Northern sympathies; and what
came of it? Why, the South drew their swords
and threw away their scabbards; and those
swords have never been sheathed since for an
instant. Mr. Linoopi surely does not suppose
that those Northern sympathies have been
strengthened by anything that has happened
since in the course of the war; by the military
despotism under which New Orleans was placed;
by the raining of "Greek fire" upan the aon-
sosubstuit inhabitants of Cliarleaton • by the
111-usage of women, end children that has ever
attended on the Northern advance; or, more
recently, by the devastatiom that have been
expressly ordered and executed by Sheridan in
the Shenandoah 'Valley, and Sherman during
his raid from Atlanta to the ma coast. If Mr.
Lincoln is waiting for the sympathy which is to
wake up and follow the expiration of Mr. Jef-
ferson Davis's term of ethos, we are afraid be
must wait for the period of universal extermi-
nation in the South. Is there, however, nothing
in the North that may haves tendency to shorten
the war by another proses. I There do not ap-
pear any traces of dismay on the part of the
President himself, for he assures Congress that
the contest can be maintained on the part of the
North indefinitely ; but Mr. Feesenden, his
Chancellor of Exchequer, announces • large
addition to the public debt, even for the current
financial year. On the first of July it will amount
to two billions two hundred and twenty-two
millions of dollars; sad yet Mr. Fassenden
disapproves of any additional issue of green-
backs, and sets hie face against contracting any
foreign loans. There is but one alternative—
the people Sill have to pay in 60030 shspe. When
the day of reckoniog conies, poesibly they may
be more inclined than their President is, to let
the South go; and 60 fax from being impossible,
it is by no means improbable that this change
will come over the spirit of the North before Mr.
Davis's reign ends.

Repediarion has already been begun in Also-
tlas. The 2'intes city article of Monday, quotes
a latter from • commercial firm in how York,
which states :

That no contract that may be male for payment in
gold or ita equivalent in !bat country can he legally
anforord ; nni eves if peroose on this side should make
disbursements in sterling on American account, they ma
only through the American court. reouvar Ike same

only in lawful motley of the United 84ates— that ia to
say, in peenbacks ; and not only so, but where English
merchants mime noder advance a goods on consign-
ment by bills paid In England th.y can recover soy

I. lawful mosey, the saran] rate at C201111111(0 of 300 per
mat. bug equal to 11 dollars sad enwainth pot wend
slostag.

Thus it will be seen that those who advance their
gold on American account, can only, through the
American court, recover the same nominal amount
in greenbacks, or 4 dollar. 84 cewts instead of an
equivalent ; which, according to the present rate
of exchange, would bell dofiare lOosuts. The
New York correspondents who addremed the
Times, say :

foreign loans I Who, we would like to know,
would be willing to lend them gold, to be paid

A Conference has just taken place between the
Duke of Cambridge, as Cotuniander-in-Chief ;
Earl de Grey, the Secretary of State for War;
and the heads of the Horse Guards, to see deny
reduction could be made in the army without
prejudically affecting the efficiency of the army.
The resoluttoos at which they are reported to
have arrived may be briefly summed up—to
reduce six depot battalions from March next,
and to place • portion of the staff on half-pay.
This appears to be the only reduction that was
settled; and it does not appear to be a large or
a very material one. The Indian Government
wishes to lower its ettebliehmen t of line battalion'
by two and three will shortly be sent home, but
it is no; thought that it will lead to any reduc-
tion in the infentry amps in this country.
The statistical report on the health of the
navy for the year Mal, has just been Mooed,
from which we learn that, in spite of the imime
taken to maintain ellaiesey--in spite of the
Drolly appertain of magmas and aseishmit-sargeons
—in spite of the naval hospitals in every sea-
port,and of the mode used in esleetim men for the
service, the amount of sickness is unusually

Ito lead him body aad soul to perdition. In the
Royal Navy the amount of space at the disposal
of each man, though far greeter in many cases
than that considered enough in the merchant
service, is exceediagly limited. Ships are fre-
quently required to be at sea for very long
oonsecutive periods, sometimes in unhealthy
climate.; even when on home stations, they are
often confined for weeks at • time to harbours
which are amongst the most uoltealtl.ly spots in
the habitable globs. The most serious oon-
sequence of over-crowding is the prevAlence of
pulmonary and tubercular dibasic& which
attack seamen in very large numbers, and form
• primary cause of a very large proportion of the
totalinveliding oases. The St Jean d'Acre, •
line 81-gun ship, on the Mediterranean station,
had, during her nine mouths' service, an average
number of 33-6 MS out of her crew of 610 con-
stantly on the sicit list from this cause alone.
That this prevalence of pulmonary ailments
arises from overcrowding, is shown by the fact
that the number materially increased WileDOVer
the ships went into harbour in any port warm"
than the open sea. As site came northeards the
disease lost its intensity, until, on her arrival in
Plymouthonost of those who had been embarked
even from the hospital bad beoome 6t for duty.
The unfortunate effects of overcrowding are not
confined to the ordinary seamen only, nor does
it manifest itself in pulmonary diereses alone.
The offiosre suffer in the same way, especatily
those of the gun-room; and wherever epidemic
fevers—yellow, scarlet, or typhoid—break out—
it would appear the unfortunate midshipmen are
amongst these who suffer fins and moss severely
from them. The @atelier class of frigates is
particularly open to semplaints on this ground.
The gun-rooms hers are mere narrow berths or
mess-places in the steerage, with a very in-
sufficient provision for light and air, into which
are crowded fifteen or twenty young officers who
sit literally shoulder to shoulder. If, therefore,
an epidemic break out amohg them, it is only
by • most fortunate chance that &single member
of the mess escapes. The unwholesome nature
of mach of the food served out at sea, especially
when the voyage is unuesally protracted, is a
frightful source of dhow. A very favourite
artiois with the Admiralty is salt pork of
loujostre perdris becomes wearisome to the
epicure, how speedily that cheap and somewhat
nasty whole of food mast become hateful to the
sailor, can only be guessed by those who have
eaten it. Tired of it heeled, loathing it fried, he
Is sometimes glad to est it raw, with terrible
results. Tape-worins attack the sufferer, and
frequeatly cause him, not only a greet deal of
suffering and debility, but frequently leave
behind diseases which are scarcely ever
(lured. But even supposing the crew are
privileged with having • cook who does not
utterly spoil everything be touches, there still
reaming the fact that by the present process of
milting, beef and pock lose • very large propor-
tion of their nutritive elements. Seamen, upon
whose physical powers the strain is both great
and continuous, cannot thus afford to lose the
nutriment from their food. If they do the
result is invariably to be found in the sick-list,
as was the cue in 1861, Alen the Menvey, which
was 225 days on salt provisions, had 162 cams of
abscess out of 615 men; and during the first
quarter of the year, when salt provisions were
issued for unusually long-continued periods, a
terrible form of sloughing ulcer became common.
Exposure and infection produce also • large
amount of rheumatism, •fever, and small-pox;
but all these varied sources of evil fade into
nothing compared with the one gigantic sin that
fills hospitals and sick-bays perpetually when-
ever a ship comes Into port. Euthetio diseases
are more amnion with anion than even with
their brother* of the military service; thousands
are attacked by them yearly, and almost in-
variably in their worst form.; the consequence of
which is not only that a vary large number are
invalided as an immediate result, but • much
larger number matinee to drag on • painful
existence, embittered to the Wet by the results
of their own folly and sin. At the date of the
report things were said to be somewhat better at
Malta then heretofore, in consequence of very
stria sanitary regulations, and it is stated that
similar effects have followed their partial enforce-
ment in English seaports. But considering the
'tireless "jolly," "happy-go-lucky" character of
"Jack," it is very doubtful if any permanent
Improvement can be effected in his conduct. In
that pleasant Utopia, of which one sometimes
dreams, it is easy to imagine • navy which shall
be manned by @odors as pious se they are brave,
and officered by gentlemen as anxious for the
physical and moral welfare of their subordinates
as they are for their fighting qualities; but in
a rough-and-really working world we are often
compelled to put up with such things as we have,
even though we do not rest in our attempts to
make them better

The Bishop of London was present at a Church
extension meeting on Tuesday, and took the
opportunity of making an important statement
relative to the fund which haa been commenced
in London, and which is 'wows by the Bishop's
name. The scheme was started about a twelve
mouth ago, and it was erected to raise •
million of money in ten parsec the rate of
£lOO.OOO a-year. This was to be devoted to the
provision of thrash accommodation in the
Darla:tad districts of the metropolis, in which,
out of • population of three millions, it had been
found that only two millions were supplied with
the insane of grace, either by the Church of
England or by soy other denomination. For at
least one millica people there was no existing
place of Divine NWT'S., no ashools, and no
minister to visit them in ratlines and distress.
Hem* the plan proposed. The amount paid ID
towards the bet year's quota is A:99,900, and
the sum given or promised up to the present
time i, £171,000. The subeeriptions iire still
coming in, and the west has hitherto progressed
beyond anticipation.
According to the last accounts from New York
Sherman has *early reached the sea. The
Richmond papers of the 13th report him in line
of battle within five miles of Savannah, con-
fronted by a strong %dedicate force. There
was • report that Merman had had • successful
engagement at Bloomingdale, fifteen miles from
Savannah, but the tale was not generally
credited. Federal accounts state that the land
and naval turves under Dahlgren and Foster
