Mr.. Greeley speaks with enthusiasm Of Mr..
Banks's speech in reply to zollicofftr's inter
rogatories. He says:
8 was opposed to the Whole operation at
the outset, because it was not a fair thing. 1t
was game of trapping candidates, wherein
the Banks men were required to put down all
the stakes and take an equal chance for re-
covering them with those who risked nothing.
These could not lose they had no right to
win. So l thought tine friends of Mr.. Banks
sh uld not have played.
= Mr.. Banks, however, thought differently,
and the result has vindicated his sagacity and
justified his courage. He refused to stand
under the imputation, however false, that lie
shraik from full disclosure of his opinions;
so he voted FOR Zollicofers resolve yesterday,
and to-day took the floor and answered all
Zollicoffer's questions fully, clearly, and tri.
umphantly. His manner was admirahle his

SIP Y~.~.,THURsDA JANUARY II. 1856.

We regret tho course which, II is said, the
administration has determined to pursue with
regard to the British minister Indeed. so
unnecessary and impolitic does this courseap-
pear, that we should not credit the rumor. did
it not come with so much positiveness. and
upon suIh respectable authority. Technically
the administration has a right to do what it
proposes. The british government has delib-
erateiy, and IN very clumsy way, attempted
a violation OF our neutrality laws. But it
does not appear that this was done at the in
stigation of Mr.. Champion, or that in his
agency in the matter, he exceeded the instruc-
tons OF his government. 1t does not seem to
be the manly course to hold the agent respon-
eible when the principal is accessible, II the
British government has wronged or injured
US, let us hold the government responsible,
not the minister, who had only carried outthe
orders he had received.
But really there has been no harm DONE
The attempt was only ridiculous failure, end
had it succeeded our country would have been
the gamer, for everybody regretted that the
law stood in the way of the enlistment of
class of men who would be likely to offer
themselves for the service Of either of the bel.
ligerent powers of Europe. There was no
sort of validity in the excuse offered by Eng.
land that the orders given for the enlistment
VI ihSi All thS CAltet states, were coupled
with the condition that they should be exc
'cuted without any violation of the municipal
law. What was meant by q municipal law
we never clearly understood. inasmuch as the
law violated was a law of Congress but the
orders to enlist men, and at>the same time not
10 violate the law, were simply an express
contradiction in terms.
But as soon as our government demonstrated
against this proceeding. the offensive orders
were Immediately Withdrawn, and the act
was apologized for. AS no injury mad been
sustained OF course no indemnity could ne
demanded. Nothing butan apology could be
asked or given. That was given freely it
was an admission of the wrong and an express
sion of regret for it, with a prompt discon-
tinuance of the conduct complained of. 1t
seems to US that 1t requires but little magnsl-
nimity to accept this; and that it is straIning
h point to insist upon The dismissal of the
minister. 1t has the appearance of petty spite
and malice quite unworthy Of great nation,
and quite inconsistent with that friendly dis
position which ought to be cultivated between
two powers, standing towards each other in
the relations which subsist between the Unit
States and Great Britain. We are right in the
matter, and can afford to be generous.-Prov.
ideace Tribune.

TRADING WITH RUSSIA There appears to
be good trade doing between England and
Prussia. There are plenty OF bills drawn at
Manchester upon Russian houses III London

is very bare of everything at the present mo-
