Great Britain is in a sad state Of suspense. One
day General Webb comes along with Guyandotte stock

with Lord Aberdeen, Lord Clarendon, Lord Palmer

besides and cordially assuring them all that his own,

help fog the Russians in Of pinch. At this
cheering assurance the British lion wags his tail with
JOY and straightway makes arrangements to dip into
Guysndotte stock but the next day there word
that John Mitchell is going to invade Canada at the
head of large army followed probably, by lot Of
fat Alabama negroes carrying the ytrol bottles which
are said TO be his fayorte weapons Of conquest AT
this news the poor old lion loses heart again, and
day Of national humiliation is appointed. 1t ID too
bad that England should thus needlessly be made to
yibrste between hope and despair and suggest that
effort ought TO be made 10 get these TWO eminent
Statesmen and journalists to together and agree
line of policy for America, that the world
at large and the British Government especially may
have distinct idea, as TO what course the United

THE LrLL IL THE STORM.

The period which will eispse between now and
Saturday Will afford the minority in the House OF
Representatives sn excellent opportunity to refresh
themselves and prepare for the renewed struggle on
the Nebraska BILL if ts supporters shall then still be
unwse and reckless enough to insist on erowdins the
vile measure through. We trust they will make the
most of the intervening time in this preparation.
Tie opposition they have commenced, if resolutely
continued is 30 defeat the bill. They owe it to
themselves end to the country to persist in that oppo
stion to the last. That they will do entertain
no doubt Their course ia one of no doubtful pro-
priety 1t will be unanimously sustained by the uni
yersal approval of the North The threats that hsve
been thrown on: of usurpation to be resorted to- in
order to accomplish this infamy not to be needed
The conspirators will scarcely venture upon revou
tonary proceedings Let but the minority stand firm
and rndaunted, and the contemplated outrage upon
liberty will be averted.

The American public was lately reused, and very
Justly so, to enthusiastic admiration for Captan Crs',

ever teeming with dangers, is the home Of romance

sands of persons navigate it annually must look 10

quenty the selfsacrifcing courage which aims 10
avert both. The example of Captain Crghton there
fore, has speedily found equivalent in the conduct Of
Captain Fitch and his fellow officers and sailors of
our steamer Washington. We published on Monday
details OF the circumstance Of their despsing their
own lives 10 those of Others-Of their going to
wrecked vessel the Winchester, against fearful
odds, and rescuing the pershng passengers. In our
columns to-day we give further particulars Of this
memorable event. Our readers will there find de-
tails Of heroism and nobility that may Justly claim
place in history This community aud that
Of Boston especially where the wrecked ship
belonged, should promptly make due acknowleds-
ments in some substantial form to Captain Fitch ami
those acting under him, for their splendid efforts in
the great cause Of humanity, by which they saved
he lives OF sship's crew and passengers. Read the

The Southern Argus Norfolk, Va is net satisfied
with the immeasurable seryilty and dishonesty of
popular northern publishers in adapting the books

of all sentiments favorable 10 Universal Freedom

South il appears, is about TO establish Book Con-
to publish works adapted to the tastes of slave
holders. and The Argus urges that this be made the
initial movement toward general transfer TO the
South Of book publishing for southern readers Here
is is line of argument:

trodden in the dirt and yet this fellow decks himself
with these shreds and patches and struts forth upon
the Congressional platform magufcentiy as Chr

Decidedly the more readable and original parts OF the
speech are those we have commented upon. In such
weak and watcry liquid Mr. Macdonald has chosen
to bottle himself up for future preservation No
stronger sntseptic will be required for small
specimen of an animal. Naturalists and persons Gu
rous in human nature can readily discern his prom

by his mind only being careful to keep the bottle
stopped, to prevent evaporation.
We do not wish to dictate to Mr.. Macdonald Whist

avow or prescribe his constituents by what sort OF
a man they shall be represented. FiguratiSely speak

misrepresentation of Milne may hold himself justified
for his speech.

said the Bishop of 81. Louis had publicly repudated
the paper. Mr.. BADGER briefly replied. and the
matter was dropped. The consideration of the Pres
