THE SUNLONDON, WEDNESDAY, jun 11, 1862.

Is mediation to be proffered again to the angry
millions of America ? It was offered once by Prence
but not accepted. The Constitutionnel says it
should be offered again. We remember that once,
when it suited a moment's convenience, it ntts

denied that the French Government had any semi-
official organ ; but somehow it seems to be under-
stood that articles of the kind headed " meciia,ion "
in the Constitutionnel, and assigned a prominent
place in its columns, have a significance borrowed
from a higher source than the editor. In this
article, the necessity, not of interventicn, but of
simple mediation, is pressed by arguments, most of
which would occur to any impartial and intelligent
European, and to candid Americans too ; but their
chief importance lies in the supposition that they
are put forth as feelers by those who might, if ad-
visable, clothe them with diplomatic authority.
We are told, what all will assent to, that " battles,
great battles, are about to be fought in America,
and perhaps have been fought already at the very
moment we are writing. It is impossible, in fact,
for the armies of the North and the armies of the
South, in presence of each other at Corinth and at
Richmond, not to come to blows. Deluges of blood
will be shed, and, what is more sad to contemplate,
whatever the issue may be, these terrible encoun-
ters do not promise a solution to the actual crisis
either for America or for Europe. The victory, no
matter on what side, will not be attended with any
final result."

The reasons for this are obvious. The spirit of
the South is such as renders any satisfactory result
from victory impossible. " Violence, hatred, pas-
sions of every description, of which the first war of
independence has given us the recital, are nothing
compared to the hatred which now animates the
South against the North; but they may give an
idea of the resistance and of the obstacles which
the Federal armies will have to meet from the Con-
federates." Granting the Nnrth the benufit of
victory in both the great impending battles, it
cannot then conquer tropical heat, and almost un-

limited territory. It cannot conquer men who
prefer destroying and abandoning everything on
that outer circle which the Confederates can

touch.

Further, our French contemporary argues—
though there is not, as many in the North will think
much in it—that the war compels painful incon-
slstency :—" The country of freedom par excellence
has commenced by suppressing freedom. Military
directors have seized upon all the telegraphic lines
which traverse America in every direction. The
same censorship compels the newspapers to publish
only what is favourable to the North and unfavour-

able to the South. And what is the result of this

The North speaks to the whole world by the elec-
tric wires, while information from the South, when
it does come, comes tardily. In fact, the journals
and correspondence from the South, which reach us
by way of the Havannah or St. Thomas, are some-
times five weeks behindhand, and thus lose all in-
terest. . . The North proclaims martial law with
all its severities ; it suppresses every independent
voice ; it threatens the suspected with death. In
presence of such despotism the English press has
not been able to remain silent."

In the presence of such facts it is argued that
Peace can only come from without. The struggle
is between desperate men, who will never desist till
they have deluged the land with blood, and de-
stroyed each others resources. A basis for media-
tion must be sought in the moderation of each party.
The North must not make the civil war one for the
abolition of slavery—the South must no longer as-
sert the Divine institution of slavery. Mr. LIN-
COLN has made a beginning in the line of modera-
tion, which the South may honourably and advan-
tageously accept. He has declared his wish to deal
with slavery only gradually and legally, and to
remove it eventually by such compensation to the
States as will remunerate them fairly for emanci-
pation. On the part of the South, Mr. YANCEY

said in London, on the 9th of last November a

Fishmongers' Hall :—" When our adversary shall
have become sufficiently calm to treat us as belli-
gerents the aurora of peace will appear in the
horizon. When that hour has struck I think I may
say that the Confederate Government will not show
itself inflexible, except upon one point—the care of
our honour and of our independence. As regards
the great interests of peace and of humanity, our
Government will know how to make concessions in
everything simply material or of secondary im-
portance."
The Constitutionnel will have it that between
those who have spoken thus, peace ought to be pos-
sible ; it considers the Separation, however, as
already accomplished, and we fear that only a few
of the wiser heads at the North yet recognise that
fact. It may be true that "The capture of Rich-
mond would not advance the affairs of America
one whit more than the capture of New Orleans.
The South bathed in blood, the north plunged in
bankruptcy and in anarchy, commercial Europe
seeing its sufferings increase-such aro the conse-
quences of the continuation of this war." But the
North cares nothing for Europe, nor, indeed, does
the South except that she wants our commerce
most. With blood, too, we fear, neither party is yet
satiated, or revolts from shedding it—we hear of
not one word of mourning for the slaughter on the
side of the enemy, and more of revenge than of
sorrow for losses on their own side. So far as we
can yet see the lust of power and greatness mad-
dens the North. Determination to retain absolute
power over fellow men, to use them as property,
and to be independent of the North that they may
enjoy this worse than brutal power—maddens the
South. Both sides are mad, and nothing we fear
but bankruptcy and misery will bring them to their
senses. They will listen to no mediator but neces•
city, to no voice of humanity unle!'s it offers to the
North the hugest empire on earth, and to the South
the most cruel right in the persons of men which
even heathens ever conceived. By a few shades
the Northern cause is the better one—for it is not
based on the Divine Right, but on the Municipal
Right of Slavery. But it is almost as bad to be-
lieve it a divine right to murder tens of thousands
that the American Union may become the most
Powerful natiou in the world—and that, we be-
slitervoengto
euou/the Northern spirit. They want to be
Mi again, to bully all Europe.

An outcry, miler ,
late in the day, is beginning
to be raised against
the New Orders in Chancery
for Printing Affidavits. Only another week has
now to elapse before those orders
come into ope-
raticn. The date from which
they are to com-
mence is the 18th instant. After which, unless
the old system be retained in consequence of Lord
WESTBURY being induced to alter his mind, upon
the principle of second thoughts
being best,
affi-
davits and so forth will be set up by law
com-
positors, and struck off by law printers, and
Cate_
fully corrected and revised by law readers before
being issued. This—instead of these affidavits
and answers in Chancery being, as they are at
present, and as they have been from time imme-
morial, scrawled in round hand by the combined
agency of the law writer, the copying
clerk,
and the law stationer. It must be admitted, of
course, at once, that to the class of men last men-
tioned the new orders in Chancery authorising,
or rather imperatively requiring, that all affidavits
and answers in Chancery shall, after the 18th of
June, 1862, be printed, instead of being still issued
in manuscripts, bears all the a.spect of a griev-
ance. The change
will throw many honourable "

and industrious men out of employment. The
consequences will therefore be to inflict anguish
and privation not only upon themselves indivi-
dually, but also upon the families dependent upon
them for support.

Su .111, however, is the old but inevitable re-
sult of every great and radical change in any
branch of industry whatever, in every highly
civilised community. What brings happiness to
one set of men, brings misery to another. Increased
work, and with it, of course, increased remunera-
tion, are secured to hundreds or thousands, upon
one hand, by the very change that throws hundreds
or thousands, upon the other hand, wholly and sud-
denly out of employment. All transition times,
therefore, are productive of temporary misfortune
to some, though eventually proving (if but wisely
directed) to the indisputable advantage of all. The
riots in the manufacturing districts immediately
upon the first introduction of machinery are yet
borne very painfully, in those parts, in the popular
remembrance. The poignancy of the recollection
is in some measure mitigated, no doubt, by the fact
of their being mostly now traditional. The genera-
tion that witnessed them has almost entirely dis-
appeared. Yet are they still, we repeat, held in
mind by the few aged survivors who actually
witnessed them, or who even took part in them.
And the lamentable details have so frequently
been related from father to son, that, even
upon hearsay evidence, they are familiar to the
mind's-eye of the latter almost as. events of yes-
terday. By the introduction of machinery—there
cannot remain any doubt whatever as to the poor
handloom weavers being thrown out of employ-
' moat, and thoy and thcir familipa drivca to debtitt,
tion. Until—that is—the time should have arrived
" when they could put their hands to new work,
and labour with a will in some new capacity alto-
gether. Precisely with the same truth, a similar
complaint can now be raised, is now very loudly,
but we cannot but think also very tardily raised, by
those more skilled labourers, the law writers, the
copying clerks, and the law stationers aforesaid.
The printing of the Affidavits and Answers in
Chancery from the 18th instant must naturally and
inevitably militate seriously, nay, we fear in many
instances, disastrously against their interests. Not
a doubt of it. It is very painful, indeed, that it
should be so. But how possibly is it to be avoided ?
It is one of those lamentable results of a happy pro-
' gress and a benign improvement,
.incidental at all
times and seasons to every industry and to every

profession.
That the change marked out by the New
Orders devised by the Right Hon. the Lord
Chancellor will bring about a very great and a
very obvious improvement, who shall venture to
gainsay ? By breaking the machinery, by destroy-
ing the jennies, by burning down the new factories,
and so forth—if only these things could have been
done upon a sufficiently large scale—the handloorns
would still, perhaps, for a little time longer, have
kept their shuttles flying to and fro, busily enough
to secure for the men sitting at them, and for their
wives and children, the means of earning for a
few months longer a bare subsistence. The end
would still have come eventually, e'en in that case.
The evil day would only have been postponed a
little while ; and would have been, even then, bur-
thened with the additional penalty of a heavy
punishment. A kindred argument might have been
used against the new fangled system of steam
driven locomotives, and railroads, and railway car-
riages by all the persons interested or engaged in
the old coaching system, from the proprietors down-
wards to the booking-office clerks, the coachmen,
the guards, the luggage porters, and the very helps,
and hangers-on, and odd-men loitering about the
the stable yards. It is a very old story indeed,
from first to last, and admits of a pretty wide
application. It is the very specious objection
raised (by the immediate sufferers) against every
improvement. But it cannot, for an instant,
bear looking into. The good of the many more
than counterbalances the evil to the (comparatively)
very few' To reason thus may sound harsh to
those few, to those immediate sufferers from each
proposed improvement, but the necessity for thus
reasoning is unavoidable. The resolution which
was moved yesterday afternoon by Mr. BETTS, and
seconded by Mr. FRY cannot, unhappily, be pro-
nounced in any way an exaggeration. The rea-
sonableness of it even will be admitted by none
more readily—and we hesitate not to assert, with
confidence, by none more painfully, or more sym-
' pathisingly—than by the Lord Chancellor. It is
the resolution, we mean, running to the effect that
the new orders about to come into operation on the
18th instant—that disastrous Waterloo for all the
poor law writers—will as a matter of dead certainty
have a most prejudicial effect upon a large number
of men who are now honourably supporting their
families as law writers, and who are by the honest
exercise of their abilities in this way giving satis-
faction to the legal profession. " 'Tis true 'tis pity
—and pity 'tis, 'tis true !" But how is the reason
for this unhappy consequence to be avoided ? By
the Lord Chancellor, the legal profession gene-
rally, the public at large, forgoing the proposed
change for the better ! Impossible. As•well might
the handloom weavers have seriously petitioned
Parliament to put down machinery and manufac-
tories. As well might all the Old WELLERS
in the land have signed a round robin to the Lords
and Commons, asking that the construction of rail-
ways might have been declared a penal offence by
the Legislature. All that can be done now is to
put a good face upon the matter. The printing of
legal documents has been the system in vogue
throughout Scotland, and it works there, as a
system, in a manner in the highest degree
satisfactory. A similar system will now be
immediately introduced here in England by
order of the now Lord Chancellor. We have
not a doubt but that it will work amongst us in time
quite as satisfactorily. Meanwhile, at the moment
of the change beginning, we earnestly trust that
every possible effort will be made, both in the pro-
fession and out of it, to mitigate as far as may be
in any way practicable, the ill effects of the tran-
sition period to the immediate sufferers from the
mere fact of the improvement—the law-waiters,
the copying-clerks, and the law-stationers.

Again one turn of the scale is somewhat in favour
of the Federals, and "Report" would send it down
with a bump. The Confederates have evacuated
Corinth, and moved south by way of Grand Junc-
tion, and left to HALLECK the task of following
them, if he can. Corinth was a mere village, but
