Keep COCl.

It is said that Nero fiddled while Rome
in flames and what if he did? We like
Nero's coolness, for of all things in the world
we admire coolness, especially in hot times.
Let US beg of our people then to keep COOL
Press steadily forward in the performance of
every duty your State and country may require
of you, but keep cool.
This war may be desperate and long war
but if true to ourselves to our country and to
our God we have nothing to fear The Vir-
ginia border from the seaboard to the Ohio is
lined with soldiers in whose breasts beat as
warm, courageous. stout hearts as ever
shouldered musket or carried sword. The
flower Of the South is there and when Lincoln's
ninions attempt to break through that solid
column they will find it more formidable by
far than a wall of fire. When the war of in
vasion commences every hilltop and valley
will bristle with armor, and men, women and
children will fight as mortas never fought be-
fore. Vlrginia's entire population may be
murdered but will never be subjugated; never,
never, never!
The South can and will defend itself We
shall not be conquered, nor shall we be
whipped. Lincoln's armies will never reach
US through Virginia, or Kentucky or Tennes-
see. All we have to fear then is coast at
tack, ond even here if invaded, we will drive
the miscreants back or leave their bones to
rot in our marshes.
Keep cool, then, and shove forward the coast
defences. We can see cause, at p esent,
for women and children being deprived oftheir
sleep, or for getting up immense excitements
at short notice to the evident annoyance OF
that portion of our population whose greatest
luxury is an afternoon nap Keep your pow
der dry, your arms in good condition and sleep
not at your post when on duty; but do keep
cool, we beg of you, as the result of the con-
3ict may depend upon the absence of unneces
sary excitement.
Nero iddled, did he? Well, what of it .? He
had right to fiddle if he wanted to, and be
may fiddle on in fact we doubt not but a
tune at music and mirth. occasionally, would
benefit us ali, for as there is season for prayer
30 is there season for rejoicing, and though we
hddied to-day let US not forget to sleep on our
arms tonight.
BY all means, keep cool; over-excitement
effects the nerves IN this hot weather.

REPORTED BATTLE AT HAMPTON.

Below we give from the telegraph columns
of the RicAmond Dispatch of yesterday the
latest news from the seat of war The rumor

THE POSITION OF ENGLAND.

BIZ the arrival of the Parana, at Boston, we
have received the exact words that Lord John
Russell is said to have used in Parliament, res
pectng privateering. They are as follows -
''As to the letters Of marque. there was a pre-
cedent in the case of Greece when it separated
from Turkey. Tie rlgdt Of that country 20
ias7.e letters Of mGrque aaas a5loece2, and tie
luao officers Of tia crolon. 5h0 RAD been coasi{-
ted, lad decIarsd Mat suct right eco4jd be-
lonq to tie Southern C0nfetloracy." This
would seem to settle the matter that England
will not regard the Southern Confederacy as
pirates, but, the contrary, rs a government
sufficiently stable to be regarded rs heliiger-
ent power. In this VIC see evidence of
England's taking sides with either party. She
is simply acting as our own government will act
for il is ridiculous to suppose that Mr. lincoln
is going to treat every prisoner he takes on
land as bandit and rebei, to be hanged to
the first tree, and every priyateer as a pirate
to be strung up at every yard arm. TIE bla-
tant war journals that propose to murder eve
rybody, south Of Mason and Dixon's line, may
talk so, but sensible people, who have heads
on their shoulders. do not England then will
do no more than our government will be com
PEELED to do, if this fight is to go on.
AS for the blockade, why that will ne regar-
dcd provided it is a blockade. But all these
issues bring up questions which we have long
anticipated and deE,lored. Suppose the South
makes coinmcrclai treaty win dfeat britain,
giving her advantages in the carrying trade,
what is to become Of northern shipping7 For
orc hundred years, ever since Give fell upon
India England has had one governing princi-
pie, scIf-interest, and commercial supremacy.
She has ever found ready excuses to cover her
designs, and though to-day she unqlestionabiy
sympathises in feeling with the North yet il
she sees a fair opportunity to strike decided
blow at our commercial power, she will not
hesitate to do so. The Daily Times openly
threatens her with war, provided she in
any way encourages tho " rebellion. -
It says, -'wc are intent for the present upon
7edueing to u rsaz ;7ationolity elements that
have been heretofore heterogeneous and hostile. "
This is allowing that the Republican party is
a revolutionary party. That it is trying to
overthrow our present system, and this con-
fessiou comprehends every charge of treason
and infany that can be made against the party
now accidentally in power. lin thus attempt
ing to subvelt the government our fathers
formed they shall drive all commerce from the
North, render our merchants bankrupt, and
destroy the markets Of our farmers, and cat out
the substance Of our people with high taxes,
we do not doubt the people will know upon
whose heads the responsibility rests.-N. Y

COAST DEFENCES.

viii those in authority investigate the mat
ter Of having constructed for the purpose of
coast defence, gun carriages sufficiently large
and strong to carry from point to point or l.
inch Dahlgreen guns, We have converscd
with practical men on this subject and they
assure US that carriage be constructed
easily to work such guns anywhere along our
coast. What, we ask, would not half dozen
such guns be worth to US at this time? They
would save the lives of thousands OF our people.
They would make it impossible for the enemy
to harrass our commerce. They would break
up Lincolns Southern blockade They would
prove terror to his navy. They would be q
land navy more terrible to our enemies than
their whole floating navy is to us. We have
plenty Of guns already, suitable for the pur-
pose, and the CARRIAGES will cost to build them
about three hundred dollars each.
Three such guns would be more effective in
keeping out an enemy from our harbor, or from
York river, or James River, than all the sta
tionary batteries we can erect-though we
speak not in dispara cement of the latter. Ten
such guns on Cape henry Beach could prevent
the combined navies of the world from effcc-
ting landing. Ten or twenty horses to each
gun could run along with them anywhere on
the coast at stage coach speed; whilst two
thick planks twelve or sixteen inches wide as
a railway could enable it to be dragged easily
over marshes or soft sand. They can be so
constructed as to be transported from Norfolk
to the fatherest point South on Railroad at fall
speed 50 as to be used in Norfolk one day and
two or three days afterwards in Charleston, II
necessary. Such guns as we have reference
to can be worked with as much facility as the
small field pieces now in use. It would be
useless to consult impractical men on this sub
ject they would tell you it can't be done. But
we know men who are practical and ingenious
they assure us that it can be done They stand
! ready and willing to construct just such gun
carriages as Will suit for the occasion, and are
willing to submit them to the severest test that
is needed Force enough in this vicinity can
be gotten to construct two or three such car
riages week till sufficient number is made.
We have plenty of suitable timber in the
navy yark already to hand.-No2Jolk Day

"A CHANCE FOR A REPUTAT1oN.--In view Of
the fact that our enemies intend to avail them
selves of the superior advantages of balloons in
the impending war to overlook the operations
of the Confederate Army, it behooves the

ample, and not be idle in this matter. In all
the departments of Art and Science, the South
can boast her superiors over the North. The
military genius of the latter for instance, can
not bear comparison with that of the former,

SP1cY.-A very spicy d, bate took place in
the State Convention on Thursday or Friday
between Honorablcs Asa Bggs and Geo. F.
Badger on the philosophy of digestion, the ali
mentary canal, hot food, sleep, etc, The learn
ed gentlemen exhibited great research and much
learning, and only occupied about one hour of
the time ofthe Convention. The discussion arose
on a motion to meet daily at 10 o'clock, said
motion being made by Mr.. Biggs, which Mr.
Badger moved to amend by inserting II o'clock
for ten, to accommodate his digestion, etc.
