The Battle fed Of Civil War

The Mobile Register, one Of The leading
organs OF the slavery propaganda, rejoice 5
over the armed conquest Of Kansas, recent
y effected by the Missourians. and cheers
them On to further deeds of violence AZ d
blood, pledging the aid Of the South to
fight out the bltile Tor slavery oathe soil
of Kansas. Hear the Rcga'er:
'As much as we abhor mob law. We
say with our hand on our hearts that we

the steady and long continued efforts of

THx Ba,IIsH CABIsEr.-The following
extract from an editorial of the London
Iimes presents rather sorry picture Of
the prospects for an efficient and credita.
bic prosecution Of the War
Every incident that comes TO our
lnowedge tends TO increase the feeling of
dismay with which rejecting men OF all
shades OF political opinion are disposed to
regard the present conjnncture of our ar
fairs. There is no longer the slightest
hope that We can by any means short of
extreme degradation avoid the con
,inuancesof war, the expenses Of which
we pay, but Il Q operations Of which cur
councillors seem unable to plan and our
generals TO execute. Our government is
4 caricatur Of the weakest and most self
,>h combinations OF other times. Our
Premier has disappointed the expectations
ol his friends, and faithfully realized the
predictions Of his enemies. Our Score
isry Of War is a martyr 10 govt. and our
Secretary for the Colonies is returning
from The capital Of doubtful ally, to add
10 the administration the weight acquired
III a futile negoiiation, and. perhaps, 10 act
again the same part as that which proved
80 fatal to the government of L'rd Aber
deem In the meanwhile legislation is
blank, and discussion on topics Of public
interest il suspended partly by the cri-
mean Committee. partly by nnwillingness
TO add to difficulties of an administration
which began TO decay before il was com
ple,cd, but mus, still be tolerated until ar
rang msn's can be come TO for providing
i. with suitable successor.
