THE SH ENANDOAH CASE.--The Times, in ite
editorial columns of Monday last, says
it be true, or anything like true, that seven officers,
twenty-three petty officers, twenty-six seamen/
twelve firemen, and ten marines of the
Shenandoah were British subjects, and if it be
further true that before they were mustered 11
Captain Paynter they were advised by Captailla
Waddell to call themselves Southerners, and:
Captain Paynter thereupon declared himself "
satisfied," then we must admit that a British officer
has winked at a very transparent fraud, and that
our laws have been cheated in a manner which (le'
wands inquiry. The Times adds that it observe°
with great satisfaction that Lord Clarendon
pledges the Government to prosecute under the
Foreign Enlistment Act any British subject Nvh°
can be identified as having served on board the
Shenandoah, and against whom the testimony °f
Temple may be confirmed ; and although in 11 0
reply of the 24th of January, Mr. Adams 0°1:lit
to decline this proposition, we cannot think Oa
an adequate reason for taking no further stePo'
The conduct of the authorities at Alelbourili
ought, moreover, to be strictly investigated.
,sfa
such gross breaches of our neutrality as are hu:n
alleged have really been committed, and should F.,
unpunished, either our laws must be in
they have not been properly enforced. Both (lne,4
tions should be faced boldly. The possibility
amending our Foreign Enlistment Act ought to 7
entertained by our own Legislature mortu p).°P.tled
and without awaiting the action of the 703100
States' Government. The means whereby
existing provisions have been again defeated Oval,
to be ascertained by the Government, and proeeeth'e
ings taken against the guilty, without awaiting IP
fault, 00:

action of the Legislature.
A RICH YOUNG STATE.—At a dinner giv eli,„:.
Judge Turner, of Nevada, a few days since, at De'—fg
nico's in New York, the Judge said :—" That ill flVe Yes
Nevada has secured thirty-five thousand population, tillers
six millions of wealth, and seven daily papers, b
building nine cities and the finest roads in the world. '-
spoke of her wealth, and mentioned, as a significant c-
spoke
the fact that out of Virginia city goes de/13'de%,
a ton of silver bullion. He added that in Nevada ae
the gold-fields of California is a demand for labour plc
capital unprecedented in the world's history ; the Pelor
of the East can nowhere else find such opportunities
ro,
investment as here ; but the same prudence and eareistoiji
quired as in buying property here, and this is e
used."
