WHAT THE LATE U. S. MINISTER TO ENGLAND SAYS
Mr. Dallas converses very unrescrvedy about the
feeling of the British Ministry toward this Govern
ment He believed the Ministry to be hostile to US,
and that Lord John Russels early recognition of
the rebels as bellgerents was not a premature de-
claraton to be repented of hereafter but deliberate
policy to be adhered to far it goes. He is dis
posed to believe that the great arbiter is cotton
that as the stock on hand will keep the English
mills employed until November, the Ministry will
not openly countenance the rebellion until it is as
certaned whether the crop is to be exported or
not If we crush the rebels and permit the new
crop to he exported all will be satisfactory to John
Bull if we fail to do so, and John Bull has to do
without cotton, then some occasion will be found to
get up difficulty and force the blockade If the
war here continues until November Bull will keep
toerably quiet, making only an occasional roaring
Hence, as the time for shipping the new crop ap-
proaches, the question of how England means to
act will be more clearly answered. Mr.. Dallas
thinks that if the Ministry to be too openly for
the rebellion now, Exeter Hall would turn them out
forthwith, while, unless they made some show of
favoring the Cotton Lords, they would do the same
thing; so as it is for Office, after ALL that they are
contending their future policy will be just such as
they may think the most likely to insure to them
continuance of power. He is of opinion that France
and England will pursue an identical policy with
respect to US, be that what it may.-MY Tribune.

THE CONFEDERATE ARNoRY.-Let our Confederate
Congress look to the propriety of establishing an
armory at the Deep River Coal Mine region of North
Carolina. Here is the proper point for such an
establishment. The Virginia manufacture of arms,
from Harpers Ferry have been transferred to North
Carolina. A better region could not be chosen

want of coal is her chief deficiency; but, to

Further News.


The following from the Richmond Wing of the
18th gives more encouraging account than we have
seen. ehope later mails may render it still better:
THE WAK-PRoBABLE DEATH OF GEN. GARNETT-
The most important and unpleasant intelligence Of
the day is the probable death Of Gen. Garnett. We
think it likely that the Dispatch from Cincinnati of
the 10TH contains nearly the TRUTH if it errs at ALL
it is in being too unavorable to u.s. The affair did
not happen, if at ALL the 18th, but on the 18th.
On that morning the 13th,) Gen. Garnet sent
messenger to Richmond, who reports having heard
cannon after he left Later intelligence by way of
Staunton reports that Gen. Garrett killed that
day in repelling an attack upon his rear.
As to the capture of 1000 prisoners, we believe
not word Of it; though the division may be in
danger it is said Mcclellan runs out telegraph
wire he advances, and is in constant communica-
ton with Patterson and Washington. The wire
should be cut
We think it likely the reports of killed and pris-
oners at the Rich Mountain fight are greatly oxag-
gerated Five or six companies of Col. Pegram's
Regiment have already rejoined Col Scott and it
is reported that Col Pegram is neither hurt nor a

BALTIMORE.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1861.

The State Convention of the Friends of Peace
in Maryland will meet at the Law Buildings, in
this city, at J. O'Clock this morning to nominate
candidates for the offices of Governor and Comp
troller So far as the lists of delegates have been
published, they present the names of gentlemen OF
high character and intelligence, from all quarters
of the State, and we have every reason to be con-
fident that the Convention will worthily represent
the patriotic feelings and purposes of the large ma
ority of our people, whose votes we are sure that
it's nominees will command. We have already
taken occasion TO express our views in regard to.
the principles by which we are clear that the
ton of the body should be governed. At no Pc.
Rod in the history of the State has the public well
fare demanded more thorough abnegation of per-
sonal and partisan considerations. 1t is no time
to crafty individual wishes and ambitions,
to compliment sectional preferences, Or
pay party debts. The peace party must
stand upon its own elevated platform
or it will have no standing at all. If it cannot
lift itself and place its candidates above the spirit
by which ordinary parties are governed and par
ty conventions inspired, it is not true to itself or
the great cause which it uphods. To us, the one
word PEACE represents that honored cause in the
length and the breadth Of its purposes. Peace TO
a distracted land which partisan sectionalism has
summoned to hatred and slaughter Peace, for
the sake of those republican institutions which
torefathers left to us, and which sinking fast,
beneath plummets' soundngs, in the red abyss OF
civil war Peace, for the sake of palsied labor
and idle trade Peace 10 save the wasting re-
sources of industry, and TO feed the starving poor
upon whose housele5s misery the shadows Of COM
ing winter Creep slowly but surely, day Ivy day
Peace, for our own sakes and for the sake Of
brethren North and South Of us, fighting
wretched battle, as full of to the vicor9 as
the vanquished Peace for our good old State,
distracted and prostrate-doomed else to be the
prize, as she is daily, and more, the victim,
of war Peace, finally, for humanity, for civili-
cation, for Christianity
To our opponents, as to the Government whom
they support, all this may be treason. To us,
and, as we steadfastly believe to the overwhelming
majority of the people of Maryland, it is the
hottest patriotism-the most sacred duty. We
believe, with the Catechism of the United Irish
men, that "Treason is the crime of betraying the
''people." 1t is for the people to take care that
they be not betrayed any longer.

We publish, in another column, a copy of an
official letter addressed by Prince GoRTsCHAKoFF
to the Russian Minister at Washington. 1t
is, of course, an expression of the views
of the GEAR of the Rus5ias and ndira-
tive Of the course he will pursue, at least
for The present. 1t breathes the profoundest at
tachmen to the Union, but processes the strictest
neutrality. 1t says that the Union should be pre-
served, but that the struggle cannot be indeG-
nitely prolonged, and that neither party can be
destroyed by the other. 1t instructs Baron
SToECKL TO use his influence among leading
men of both parties to effect an adjust
nent and at the same distinctly asserts that the
Russian Government is not called upon to ex-
press any opinion as to the questions which divide
The two sections. In other words, the letter is
most strictly neutral, and can scarcely, by any
oreed construction, be interpreted TO express
strong sympathy with the present Administration.
1t is in this light, nevertheless that the Northern
press pretend to view it, aad distorting it to suit
heir partisan views, herald it to the public as an
lnmistakeable proof of the intention of Russia to
gnore 'the spurious Government of the Confed-
crate States"

THE CIVIL WARM AMERICA.

A Scottish journal, the Forres Elgin and Marin
Gazette, thus comments on the spirit OF the two
sections in this country:
1t is curious to note the opinions formed Of the
American war by the respective partizans of the
South and North in this country. Taking into &C
count the superior position of the Government, the
facilities with which men and taxes can be levied
by the loyal States of the Union, the organized
military and naval, equipments of the North, and
other favorable circumstances, the friends Of the
FederalIstS assure us that the defeat of the Con-
tederates Is absolutely certain. When, however
the diihcuties that the Northern armies will have
TO contend with are taken into account the subii-
CATION OF even one alienated State becomes pro.
biematical, and the conquerng of the lapsed Con
federation an utter impoSsbiity. 1t is TACT that
the Northerns are really not sincere in their war
like attitude. The circumstances attending the
Bulls Run rout, as noticed elsewhere in our
columns, confirms this. Did the Northern repi-
ments, whose time was on the eve of exprv stand
TO their arms when the enemy was in sight? No:
they He'd with the utmost precipitation, rejoicing
IN the excuse which gave color to their cowardice
the truth is they did not icant to fqht This
apathy On the part is in strange contrast with
the lndomitabe and daring spirit of the Southerns
Inc Times Special Correspondent informed the
readers of that leading journal some time ago
that no compromise whatever would be listened to
on the part OF the S0utherns. They had made I'D
their minds, and Conquer or die" was their
motto.
