AForeiWn Prediction.

The London Spectator predicts "party
split" in England on the great American
question. 1t says;
The tories are becoming more and more
hostile in their tone toward the North. One
of their leaders has spoken at last, and,
though his meaning is not very clear, his
tendency is. Sir j. Pakington, in his ad-
dress to the Conservative Association of
Worcestershire, does not indeed, ask for in
tervention, but he calls upon the great Pow
ers to offer the strongest remonstrances'
against a continuance of the struggle, and
blames Earl Russell, at Newcastle, for not
expressing the views of England regarding
the war. No man knows better than Sir
J. Pakington that remonstrances would be
treated in America with angry contempt,
and he therefore intends to advise one OF
two things-a remonstrance which can
lead to nothing beyond an impertinent letter
from Mr.. Seward, or n demand which,
though possibly eliciting no instant result,
shall be followed by serious action. He
wants either a diplomatic snub, or war.
| The Wings distinctly decline to precipitate
either Lord Russell, at Newcastle declared
that we could not be judges of the American
cause. The Duke of Argyll, at Inverary
allowed that the national existence OF Amer
| lea was worth a war, and Lord Russell ha!
| informed Mr.. Hayman, q self-styled Liver
pool merchant, that this Government ha!
recognized the blockade, and that if HI
breaks it he must suffer the personal pen
atty of that unjustifable' proceeding
The Tory journals, moreover, define thei
position more and more clearly as foes o
the North, while the Times repeats NOR
earnestly that intervention must b
avoided. Obviously, the existing Govern
ment has chosen its course--a determine,
neutrality, to be maintained in spite Q
pressure from France, or outcries from tn
cotton trade, or Mr.. Stewards silly ill-tem
per; and the Tories have chosen theirs-a
undetermined resolve to intervene if an
excuse should offer. 1t remains still to b
seen which course is acceptable TO the yoi
ing class, but we believe the hrst Parlla
mentary struggle will show most of tn
speeches against the North and most
the votes with it 30

Rock on FOR TANNING LEATHER.-An
important discovery in regard to the prac-
ticsl uses Of Petroleum or Rock Oil, now
found in such quantities, has been made
by Mr.. John Lamb, tanner OF Venango
County, Penn. He says that since August he
has been using the oil Of several wells in
that county, in his tannery, as substitute
for fsh-oil, and with astonishing success
During the past month, he prepared one
hundred sides Of upper leather, and eight
dozen of oalfskins with this oil. They have
been exhibited to practical leather dealers
from Pittsburg and Boston, and o quantity
sent to the Eastern markets with entire sat
isfaction TO dealers. II makes a cleaner and
smoother finish than the fsh-oil, fills up in
stead of opening the pores Of the leather 80
as to make it almost waterproof, and gives
it the finish of the finest calf-skin. 1t is
also superior article for mixing backing,
having the quality for cutting the lamp
black. The smell does not remain after the
dressing process is completed. The oil is
used in the crude state, costing one.third
the price Of fsh-oil.-PttSJwy Chronicle.

From Charleston.

The Philadelphia Inquirer publishes a
private letter, dated Charleston, November
%, which it asserts is perfectly reliable. The
writer states that several revolts have taken
place among the slaves in the interior, al
though, so far as can be discovered, there
has as yet been no attempt at an organized
insurrection. Although the papers carefully
avoid all reference to the subject, there is
great nervousness among all classes lest there
may be an extended outbreak at any moment,
and some fear that this may be hastened by
the very measures adopted to overawe the
negroes, for those whose agency in revolts
has been suspected have, in several instances
been burned AZ the stake.

Rebel COrrespOndence-VIrHin DIsap-
pointed.
A Baltimore correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Inquirer says:
have just seen some private letters, bear
ing date Richmond, November "a, from
Baltimoreans to their friends here. These
missives come through some secret channel,
unknown even to receivers of them. Some
times they are dropped into our postofice by
unknown hands, who probably crossed the
Upper or Lower Potomac; and often small
colOred boys leave them at the residences of
the parties to whom directed in the care of
servants who go to answer the bell. The
other day note, inclosing draft for S3, 900,
was left in the ceuntipg-room of one of our
merchants very mysterIously.
81 learn from these letters, and from par
ties who have read them, that great disap.
pointment prevailed throughout Virginia
and the whole South at the result of our re-.
cent Maryland election. 1t was confidently
expected, not only by the people generally,
but by JEFF. Davis and his special friends,
that our State would, by the vote OF her peo.
pie, show large majority in favor OF seces-
sion and of uniting with the Southern Con-
federacy. They had been induced to believe
there was no real Union sentiment among
us, and expected, after finding large pre-
ponderance of sympathy with the South, to
| strike blow for our deliverance. The thir-
| ty-one thousand Union majority, including
fourteen thousand in Baltimore, fell like lead
upon their reasonable aspirations.
Ambitious, misguided Mary FLANDERS, who
deserted their homes and country to unit'
with the Confederate army, hoping to 6gh
their way back again, or return by the will
ling consent of an immense majority in thei
own State, become chop-fallen and vel
chagrined at having misrepresented the tru
sentiment of their own people to JEFF AM
his rebel minions.
Quite number of these, finding South
eIn shinplasters and worthless Confederat
bopds-all they can get for soldering
utterly useless toward supporting their w!iye
and families here are writing for permission
to have them sent to Virginia, favor nc
likely to be granted as it would be the chic
aim and pleasure of all such to aid and abe

General Price's Call.

The recent proclamation of the rebel Cen
eral, Sterling Price, published on Monday, if
not model of good English, at least proves
that be is desperately in want of fifty thou
sand men. Price is rather rough stick, but,
with less means, he has done more than any
other Confederate General. He is terribly
in earnest; afflicted with the Secession cpl
demic mortally. He will hardly get over it..
He is after his rights with furious energy.
1t is all labor lost, in our opinion. That fifty
thousand will never come. He had as well
call spirits from the vastly deep. They are not
there, and wouldn't come If they were.

The rebels have on them now the biggest
scare of the season. Hearken to the howl of
the Richmond Enquirer:
Let US summon all our energies and all
our resentment, as becomes the enormous
provocationl Let every man in his arm feel
double measure of strength Let us meet
such foul robbers and such double-dyed de-
mons with the indignant heroism with
which men fight felons. The feeble race
which God has condded to our tutelage and
care must be shielded from their enemies
and ours. Where they are exposed to the
inroads Of the enemy, let them be removed,
when possible, into the interior. Let sup
plies, which can not be removed before the
advance of the enemy, be everywhere and
without hesitation committed to the flames.
Let them obtain no plunder; but let them
experience at every step the accuracy of
Southern fire, and the retribution of South
ern steel We must renerve ourselves, and
must exhibit before the world heroism, a

utmost strength, we will Overwhelm him
with ours. If he comes goaded By insane
madness, we will teach him the superiority

The Printers striSe in wushiugtOn.

Recently a portion of the journeyman
printers of Washington ''otruck" for the
eight-hour system. They wanted their en-
ployers to pay them as much for eight hours
of work as they had been receiving for ten
hours As is well known, the Government
has large printing Office in Washington,
and the foreman in that Office acceded to the
demands of the printers. But when he
made out the bills and sent them for pay
ment to the Controller, Mr.. Whittlesey, he
returned them unpaid, with letter, con-
tanning his reasons. These were, that while
the men in the army and in the navy were
worked night and day, and the clerks in the
Departments many nights until ten o'clock,
and while printers throughout the Union
work at least ten hours, he did not see why
those printers in the Government employ
could ask full pay for day Of less than ten
hours.

Large CargOes of Cotton Expected from
the south.
The achievements of our combined naval
and land forces are not barren victories.
They have solved the cotton question.
Within a short time it is expected that large
cargoes of cotton will arrive at New York.
These arrivals will continue without inter-
mission. AS our armies advance, the cotton
already stored will be sent forward to mar
ket, and the crops will be gathered and for
warded without delay. There will be no
occasion for manufacturers, foreign or do
mestic, to desire the breaking of the block
ade of Southern ports. The Union navy
and army have opened the way to supply all
the demand for this great staple, the pro-
Ceeds of the sale of which will be applied to
the payment of the expenses. The labor of
the negroes will thus be made available, and
until the cotton. growing communities in
which the cotton is found return to their ale.
glance, the whole crop, as far as it may be
taken possession of will be appropriated by
the Government to the public use. Every
lodgment made by our troops upon the South
ern coasts from this time forth will add to
the cotton supply, and at the same time
strengthen the Government, and efectually
remove every ground of complaint from the
manufacturing districts of England and

ton of man named Cunningham, adds:
After the execution and removal of the
body of Cunningham, a number of persons
were admitted into the Jail yard, to crafty

tionally, for sport, or by accident is un-

fracture of his left leg, which had become
entangled in a coil of the rope suspended
from the gallows. The fracture, We learn, is
not likely TO prove serious, though standing
under the gallows, even if you are NOT
doomed to be hung, as in this instance, is
not without danger.

TIE IRON DUKE IN BATTLE.-The Duke OF
Wellington was remarkable for the coolness
with which he gave his directions. Even in
the heat of an engagement he has been
known to give humorous observation, es-
pecialiy when it seemed to raise the spirits
of his men. Thus when the British were
storming Badsjoz, His Grace rode pnins, up while
the balls we're falling around, and observing
an artileryman particularly active, inquired
the man's name. He was answered Taylor"
"a very good name, too" said Wellington.
"Cheer up, my men, our Taylor will soon
make a pair of breeches-in the walls" Al
this sally the men forgot the danger OF their
situation, a burst of laughter broke from them
and the rext charge carried the fortress.
