In Important Consideration.

There is said to be very little difference between the uniform and appearance of the Southern and Northern soldiers, and hence it becomes of the highest import ance that some measures should be en- ployed to distinguish them. The Rich- mond Enquirer says:
 At first, there is danger that when the forces meet upon the field of battle, and after the first shock, are broken up into small fighting squads, who will roam here and there in search of enemies, many a brave man will fall by the hands of his comrades, who, in the excitemen, of the moment, will fail 10 recognize him es a friend.
 Americans, to great extent, strongly resembles each other. and where the vol unteers of both sections have been equally exposed to the sun, the Southern soldiers, except as regards intelligence, cannot be separated from those of the North. Let steps be therefore taken 10 remedy this defect at once.
 Attach badge, a stripe, or mark of some description to your coats or shirts, which wifi be known to ali by generally disseminated order from headquarters. Take pains 10 maintain a distinction be- tween your true blooded Southerners and your mercenary enemies, and when upon the field of battle you draw your bead upon a man, or plunge a bowe-knife in his heart, you will not have the meIancho- ly thought, affiicting you like nightmare for lifetime afterwards, that you killed friend instead of an enemy.
 Let this subject be agi,ated by the press of the South until 1t receives the attention of those who have the remedy in their hands. Mistakes enough have already occurred 10 furnish warning.

beautifully for instead of acknowledging gracefully our independence, aud thus, by pacific policy, securing a good share of our trade, it has determined upon the CO., ercion game, and alienated the South 10 such an extent, as 10 render 1t impossible for its people to do our trading again no " Southern geese will never go to van kee's nests to lay their golden eggs" our profits will be kept al home, and our cities. and our towns will soon bound forward in career of glorious success. To secure lhis, we must be wide awake, active, eu- ercetic; we must have at least three mil lions of tonnage, which will require a cap- ital of one hundred and fifty millions of dollars; we must have thousands of sea- men. ship builders, houses and other agencies, these we will have if we put our hands faithfully 10 the plough; and the profits will be immense. In this way alone can we secure and maintain our commercial independence, and become what we ought 10 be, the controlling sec tion, and the most powerful nation on the face of the earth.

BsB~ A correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce, referring to the let ter of Bishops Otey to Seward, published some weeks since, sayo:
 IL seems but few short months since, in, journeying through Tennessee, found myself in the seat adjoining that of this venerated father in Israel. From no lips, either at the North or South, have heard more union-loving sentiments than were uttered by him during the day or two we journeyed together in the cars.
 Is there no meaning in the great change apparent in his convictions as to the dis positions of the Northern people? And can it be that Mir. Seward will listen to no voice but that of war

 As the war is to be prosecuted, let it be done with gigantic and Titanic force Congress, extra session, ought, forthwith, not only 10 levy high duty upon tea and coffee, but to increase the duty on sugar. Direct taxes must come, and the quicker the better for the credit of the country. Loans will not long carry on the war, and direct taxes are inevitable. The se- cretary of the treasury, MT. Chase, ought now to be preparing his programme of farm tax, poll tax, carriage tax, watch tax, etc.

Cassius II. Clay.

1 The letter of this noted iudiyidaI, ad- dressed 10 the English public and publish ed in inc London Times. is acknowledged by his warmest friends al honre to have been impoitic and entirely onlside of hls routine of duty as a diplonalst. Bat n Englnnd John Bull resents the imperli- nent interference strongly. The Times, in the columns of which tie manifesto ap- peared, says:
 MT. Clay must really allow us to give our own version of the honor and interest of England. Our honor and interest Is to stand aoof from contests which in no way concern us, to be conlent with our own laws and liberties, without seeking to i'm pose them upon others, ito seek peace and ensure it," and 10 leave those who take to the sword to fall by the sword In war we will be strictly neutral; in peace we will be the friends of whatever power may emerge out of the frightful chaos through which MT. Clay sees his way so clearly. And that neutrality which is recommended alike by our interest and our honor, we will not violate through fear-no, not of q hundred millions of unborn men. Let ETr. Clay and his country-men look we'll to the present, and they will find enough 10 occupy their attention without troubling themselves with long visions of humilia- ton and retribution, which no man now alive will ever see accomplished.
 The London Standard is equally un- kind.
 We hold ourselves, in spirit and in deed, aloof from both sides, in a war begun with too much bravado on he part of the states men of the North. We are at once un- convinced and unmoved by the somewhat impertinent letter of MT. Clay, which was hardly worth column of the Times. It is nonsense to talk of fighting for liberty and nationality. IL is not the part of good and brave men to boast that they are sure to conquer. The argument that England must help the North for fear that the South should conquer our West Indies, was hardly worth putting to paper. Just as idle Is il to threaten us.with the future vengeance of possible hundred millions of Amerlcans century hence who, if ever they are called into being, will pro- bably be divided into half dozen repub- lies and as many empires.

"THE GARIBALDI LEGION. We find the following paragraph in the Baltimore Exchange of Thursday last
 Yesterday morning there arrived from Washington flty-six of the Garlbaldian regiment which passed through our city few days since. These men state that the regiment is thoroughly disorganized, and the men, for the most part will return to their homes. When it was proposed to enlist them for three years they refused to comply, and the government threatened to disband the regiment unless they en- tered the service for three years. The threat did not have the desired effect, and the regiment will certainly disband Those who have arrived here state that they have been cheated and deceived from the time they rendered their services until they left the regiment, and under no circumstances will they fight to sustain the government.

Rha5% The Fredericksburg Herald, in speaking of the first fight of Aquia creek between the federal vessels and our troops, says:
 "There was no one injured on our side exept Wn. McDouga, of this place, who received slight flesh wound on the hand by shell that exploded above him. Me DougaI had gone in boat for the pur- pose of bringing in a guard of a small schooner. His quick eye descerned a shell making direct for him as he sat scul- ling; with one bound he cleared the boat jumping into the river, but still holding on to the boat with one hand; the shell ex- ploded above him, and one piece struck his hand" The Fredericksburg Recorder, in speaking of the second fight, on Friday last, relates the following incident:
 During the firing two shells fell in one of the batteries. and, so soon as they had fallen, both were taken hold of by Lieut. Yancey, of the Tennessee regiment, and pitched into the river before they could do any damage. We have this from an eye witness
