Lord Lyons has made no offensive com
ments upon the Mason and Slidell affair.
The reports to the prejudice of that minis
ter which have been put in circulation.
are positively contradicted in diplomatic
circles here. and it is quite certain Lord
Lyons will commit no breach of courtesy.
II he has any com munications to offer
they will be done in an official form. but
there is no indication that such sction is
contemplated.
The facts in the case are very clear.
and that our Government ought to seize
the rebel Commissioners is too clearly es-
tablished to admit Of much argument.

Every day that the war lasts. renders
the existence Of Slavery in the United
States more precarious. The conviction
is settling down in the minds Of the peo-
pie. that Slavery. the cause Of the war,
must be wiped ont before the rebellion can
be effectually crushed. Even men who
six months sgo were horri6ed at the very
idea Of setting . negrofiss, are bscomins
loudss in The cry. "Dovn with Slave.

to extend and perpctuste Slavery: bat

and are in fair way to destroy the insti-
tuition which they sought to build up.
Why should our armies be required to
treat Slavery SO tenderly in their pro-
gress /? and why should slaves be exempt
from confscation! The claim of tho
traitors was. that slaves were property.
and should receive the same protection.as
other property. Other property is seized
and con6scated- d-wby should not slaves
be? Horses. wagons. guns. ammunition.
provisions. clothing. and many other ar.
ticles. are contrsband of war. and subject
to cou6seation. Slaves arc employed to
build Notifications. drive teams. raise food
for the army while their masters are of
lighting. and are even found in companies
and regiments. with arms in their hands.
fighting for the South. Why should they
be exempt from con6scstion!
Public opinion is at work. Some of
the army officers liberate the slaves as
they march through secession country.
while others are utterly refusing longer to
be nigger-cstchers. John Cochrane, .
New York Democratic Congressman Of
decidedly pro-slavery proclivities, has
lately made speech in which be strongly
favors the freeing Of the slaves Of traitors.
The Secretary of War fully indorsed his
sentiments. Leading Statesmen and Ge-
nerals. Democratic in politics. srs assum-
ing the same ground. The signs indicate
that the approaching Congress will take
some decided action in the matter, which
will make the traitors tremble for the
safety Of their pet institution.
But should Government not interfere
with negroes. the war will destroy the
future utility Of Slavery. The negroes
are imbibing notions and learning facts
which will utterly destroy their tractabil.
ity and usefulness, and which can never
be eradicated from, their minds. They
have gotten the idea Of freedom into their
heads. and there it will forever remain.
Why, even the negroes shout Port Royal.
supposed to be the most beuighted in the
Union. appeared tabe fully posted in the
progress of events. and Hocked down to
the feet with bundles in their hands, con-
fidently expecting to be taken away. Let
it not again be asserted that the slaves are
contented with their lot, and are 10th to
leave their masters. They may appear
30. when under the eye and the whip of
the master; but place them in position
where they are free from dread of that
msster. and in ninety.nine cases in q hun
dred they will choose freedom. There.
fore. even should the end of the war find
Slavery still existing, the negroes will
retain their notions of freedom, and will
vanish as fast as they have opportunity.

FORTRESS MONROE, July 28-The Odd Fellows
Hall, Jail, and four other buildings, in Hampton,
were yesterday burned by our troops, in appre-
hension Of an immediate attack by the Seeessoniss
Our troops were entirely withdrawn last night.
Max Weber now occupies Col. Duryea's former
quarters. Part of Hampton bridge has been de-
stroyed to prevent communication with this side of
the creek.
The place IS not yet occupied by the Rebels. A
flag Of truce came into Newport News this morn
ing with proposition giving our troops "a hours
to leave. In case the place is not then evacuated
they will force us out.
The gunboas Dale, 20 guns. at once went up from
Old Point; the Abutross and Pengula are also sta
toned there, while the Minnesota and seven gun
boats at Old Point are ready to assist should NewS
port News be attacked.
Col Phelps says he can hold the place against
twice his own force, which now consists of four eff
fectlVe regiments. Our entertainments are of for
uidable character. The rebels have to-day been
practising from battery at Wiloughby Point, some
miles below SewalPs Point Just below the Rip Rap.
Heavy firing is now going on at Pig Point

Nashville ana Northwestern Railroad
Wehave been much gratEed to learn that the
above Road is speedily TO be connected with the
Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, and that the
work has already been commenced.
With the Characteristic promptitude Of our peo-
ple, we have already commenced shovelling the
dirt and only a short time viii elapse ere we have
perfect communication between all our Southern
Roads and the Louisville Road and its branches.
As military measure 1t Is alllm portant. 1t en-
ables US to throw on any one Road the full number
Of engines cars, DC, necessary to the emergency.
In this connection, it may not be improper to
state that II the Nashville and North western Rail-
road was completed, we could defy the armies of
the world-much less of Abe Lincoln. We could
send troops IN any direction we could have suth-
cheney of rolling stock to fill every demand. As
military MEASURE, aside from all other consldera-
tons we say, complete the Nashville and Northwest
eT1 Railroad! Satisfied, that when properly under
stood, the people Of the State would urgently de-
mand it, say again, let the Nashville and North
western Railroad be speedily completed.
We think .hat, in view OF the present pressing
military necessity, no one will object to the early
completion of this road dShUlls Patriot july 80.
We cordially endorse the suggestions of our con-
temporary. The Nashville and Northwestern Rail-
road should be completed at the earliest possible
moment. Let US put forward every energy we
possess toward the early completion of that road.
When that is accomplished we are safe. Then We
shall have the means Of travel and communication
that will enable send to any point in our State
any number of men we may desire to raise. As
great Military necessity, the Nashville and North
western Railroad should be completed at the earliest
possible moment. The road can now be completed
to the Tennessee river in very short time at
pense of only $4,000 Let the road be completed
at once to the Tennessee river, and this will
put us in communication with such points as we
may desire to occupy on that river Then let us SO
to work and complete the whole road, and we can
safely defy Mr. LINCOLN and all his Generals. This
would enable us to send troops to any point in the
State with but little delay and thus place Tennessee
in position to repel any and every attack of LIN
coins forces. The road should be completed at
