0uR SoLDIERs.-From Capt. Dudley's
letter in another column, it would appear
that our company are in great want Of
blankets for protection against the severi-
ties Of winter. He says they must hare
them" This is want which can easily
be supplied and should be al once. We
would suggest tina. each town take imme-
date measures TO procure and forward
enough Nankets to supply those from their
Town. We wish the Committee hereto
fore appointed to superintend this matter
in Manchester, consisting Of VIM. B. Bur-
ton, Rev. A. nj. Swain and Charles X.
Young, would take this matter in band
and see that il is done promptly ard well.

importance.
Since our last we notice that the law
granting the extra pay per month TO all

mcut, has, contrary 10 expectation, been
passed.
A nes bank has been chartered at Rui-
land. The salary or the Treasurer has
been raised from $500 10 ST 600, aud that
Of Auditor Of Accounts from $500 to 800.
The thanks of the Legislature have been
rendered 10 Gov. Fairbanks for his energy

A tax Of fifty cents on the dollar Of the
grand list has been voted; this is about
twice and half The usual amount, and will
raise nearly half a million the grand
list of the State being s979,604.72. One
hundred and fifty thousand dollars has been
appropriated in addition 10 the usual sums
to enable the treasurer to pay the aecruing
interest on State bonds, and the treasurer
is authorized 10 borrow a sum not exceed
ing two hundred thousand dollars.
A decided improvement in regard to
the time Of adjournment has been adopted
by the present legislature. The hour was
fixed at 3 o'clock Thursday aiternoon.--
The old practice of continuing the session
through the entire night till 6 o'clock in
the morning, was simply absurd. This
plan will do away with those scenes Of con
fusion and inaniiy which have heretofore
marked the closing hours OF our legislature.
We shall soon publish, probably in our
next issue, the acts which have been pass
ed.

NEVADA, &. T., Nov, 2, 1861.
Winter is already upo, Us, here, shut up
in dark canon Of aic Roxy Mountains,
where early in the afternoon the sun dis
appears behind the browning hill TO tho
West Of us, and freezing weather lasts for
the succeeding eighteen hours. The mills
have mostly stopped for tie want Of wa.
ter, but a few are prepared to RON AL vim
ter, having employed the summer in pre-
pairing reservoirs against the approach Of
The Frost king. II is doubtful il the av-
erage Of the mills in the mountains here
paid running expenses during the past
few months, while in the same limeg somo
have earned fortunes for tIer owners, So
unescnly IS the gold distributed in the
claims. Gulch mining still continues a
little during the warm hours Of the day,
while The mountain streams are unf TERED.

ENGLAND AGAIN.

ENGBAND A1AlN,
The capture Of Slidell and Mason, en-
voys Of lhe rebels 10 European nations, by
Capt Wilkes, is likely TO give rise again
TO .peculaiions in regard 10 tie policy Of
England touching this country, subject
which We hoped had been dismissed from
public attention.
England having recognized the so-callcd
Southern Confederaey IS belligereni
power, viii undoubtedly ,rea, this matter
In accordance with those principles Of in
,ernational law which are applicable 10
bclligerent nations.
The right Of search Of neutral vessels
by those Of nation at war, if such vessels
arc suspected Of conveying articles contra
land Of war, is well established. In 1912,
as every one knows, England claimed the
right Of search sren in lime Of peace and
although the United States at that time
opposed such claim, she has never dis
puled the right Of search in time Of icar.
Chancellor Kent thus speaks Of thi,
matter:
:" In order TO enforce the rights Of bel
ligcrent nations against The delinqueneies
Of neutrals, and 10 determine the real as
well as the assumed character of all yes
sells on the high seas. tie lac Of nations
arms them ,Oith he practical porsr Of risi-
tahon and search"
Capt. Wilkes was right not only in
searching the English vessel, the Trent,
but also in OBTAINING the rebel ambassa-
DORIS for il is well settled principle that
aipatches and ambassadors are conlraband
Of war, and that neutral ships have 10
right to convey them.
Sir William Scott. an eminent English
writer on international law says on this
subject
"The carrying Of dispatches is an act
OF the most noxious and hostile charac-
ter
Vattel, the leading French authority,
says:
You may stop de ambassador Of yoar
enemy on his passage"
Chancellor Kent says:
The coarryarce Of dispatches is an
act most injurious of all, and deemed to
be Of the most hostile and noxious charac-
ter"
This view is evidently founded in good
sense and right reason; for dispatches
either written or by way Of ENJOYS, may
determine the entire results Of q war, and
be OF much greater advantage to bellig-
erent than ammunition or military stores
II, in the face Of these long established
precedenis and well known principles of
international law, England should demand
redress or acknowledgement from the
United States for the conduct Of Capt
Wilkes, she would subject herself TO the
ridicule and the contempt Of the civilized
world. II Is the plain duty Of the English
Government to censure the Captain Of
the Trent for his palpable violation of the
Law Of Nations and infringement upon
the express instructions Of the English
Government in It's proclamation Of ncu-
trality of Nav Is. 1861. which Elrbids

arms, military stores o.. materials, or any
article or articles considered or deemed 70
be eoniraband of war, according TO the
law or modern usage OF nations. for the
use or service Of either Of the said con-
tending parties"
This latter course il the one which We
are confident win be pursued by the Eng
lish Government
