While the British people DO not hes
itats to express their sympathy with the
Government Of the United State at the
present time, some of the British leaders
while proclaim:ng a neutrality, express
willingness to recognize the rebels as
&c bellirerents." We heartily endorse
the following from the World on the sub
ject:
The occasion for revising their opin-
ions 10 respect TO the rebel confederacy
NAV come sooner than the English diplo-
matists expect They may as we'll un-
derstand, and, in our opinion, they VIII
soon know from official sources, that our
Government will not tamely tolerate the
degree of countcnance they seem incin-
ed to show the insurgents. The English
government and the people manifest the
deepest solicitude to keep out of this con-
test, but it will not depend wholly on
themselves whether they keep out of it,
after they have performed acts giving
aid to the rebels engaged in an attempt
to overthrow the Government Of the
United States. If they should allow the
rebel privateers to take their prizes into
British ports. we have the best reasons
for believing that our government will
Immediately retaliate by issuing letters
of maroue against British commerce.
The London Times, after a glowing de-
scription of our admirably equipped war
vessels, which can "blow anything out
Of water that may venture against them,'
SAYS that they can be of little service to
us in war against the Confederate
States, which have no navy. We may
find a use for them which the Times does
not anticipate If thdBritish government
shall not properly respect our rights
Thera are no bounds to the military en-
ergy of the Northern people. In the
short space of six weeks they have put
2OO, 900 men on war footing, and of
these 100000 are recruits enlisted for
the full term of three yeas In this
statement We include only soldiers actu-
ally enlisted, organized, equipped, and
under arms. Our resources, and the
military enthusiasm of our people, will
enable us to quadruple or quutuple this
force long before the season will admit
Of an active campaign in the extreme
South Our people, above almost any
other on the face Of the globe, have a
national aptitude for sea service, and ou
extensive mercantile marine would speed
