Wepublish to-day a letter from Cassius M.
Clay to the London Times. 1t is an able arti-
Gle, though much Of it is mere statement, evil
dent enough to Mr.. Clay, and to any one thor
oughly acquainted with the state of affairs in
this Country. The Times criticses it very
Sharply, though in a rather flippant way. We
could have wished that Mr.. Clay had been more
elaborate in his argument, and thus rendered it
less obnoxious to the only cavils that could be
made against it.
In later issue of the Times Mr. Motley, the
celebrated author of the history of the Dutch
Republic, has long and exceedingly able and
entirely satisfactory article upon the same sub
.icct treated by Mr. Clay. 1t is much too long
for our columns, but we hope to find room for
some extracts in a subsequent issue.
The Times did not attempt to answer it.

A SCENE IN THE New HAMPsHIRn REGIMENT
The Transcript has the following from a cor
respondent
{" A most exciting scene TRANSFERRED at the
New Hampshire encampment, Saturday af-
ternoon, while the firing at Arlington flights
was going on. The Regiment was drawn up
about the Chaplain, Rev. Mr.. Abbott, who
read a chapter in the Bible, and then gave out
hymn. Each man drew hymn book from
his breast pocket, and the hymn was sung to
the tune Of The Red, White and Blue the
entire Regiment joining in the chorus. In his
prayer, the Chaplain alluded to the fight prob
ably going on, and said, O Lord! grant that
our men may have cool hands and steady eyes,
and that their missiles may 60 straight to the
mark
A captain of one of the companies could not
restrain his enthusiasm, and took off his cap
and waved it over his head, those about him
showing by their countenances that they would
like to join him.

In an account Of Senator Douglas last ILL
ness, an exchange says:
In his last days he gave those who stood
near to minister to his wants the most convinc-
ing assurances of the depth and earnestness of
the lively love OF Country that filled his heart.
In his waking hours as we'll as in those mo-
ments when the violence Of his disease unseated
his great intellect, he was busy with National
events, and the conflict that is now upon U.S.
1t WAS his last wish that the work which will
regenerate the Country while rescuing it from
his enemies, should 60 rapidly on. To one, in
wandering moment, he said, station you
at the Relay House. Move on , OF another
he asked, why do you stand still? let us
pass on Let US to Alexandria quick 10
still another he said, Telegraph to the Presi-
dent, and let the column move on -
When we read such evidence Of how true in
his last hours his great heart beat for his Coun-
Try and her honor, we mourn still more that it
has ceased its pulsations forever.

Tho London Times gives little comfort to the
subjects of the Queen who may take letters of
marque from the Pirate Davis In late arti-
Gle it takes ground as follows:
If it should turn out that notwithstanding the
Lord Chancellor's opinion that such an act
would be murder, Englishmen caught in Amer
lean prlvateers are hanged as pirates, there will
be strong inclination in England to hold that
they deserved their fate. Whether they be
plunderlng in the name of Mr.. Jefferson Davis,
or fighting for high wages under Mr.. Lincoln,
they Will be equally mere mercenary cut throats,
and will be utterly dsavowed by their country
men. We believe, If 1t should unfortunately
happen that priuateers should steal forth il. this
american quarrel from English ports, that The
public aoould see acih great satisfaction the me,-
chant aoho furnished the aOarlikc stores, the shin
builder who furnished the ship, and the captain
'0ho commanded her, all punished together as
confederdtes. This, however, is contrary to the
law Of Nations, and Lord Peterborough offers
to all such offenders the consolation that some
time after they have been caught and hanged,
there will DO strong diplomatic protest deliy-
ere | on their behalf

REVIEW of Letter from the Right Rev.
John A. Hopkins, D. d. ILL., D., Bishop of
Vermont, on the Bible view Of Slavery,' by
Vermonter. CA pamphlet of twenty -eght
pages.)
This is thorough examination of this sub
ject, by one amply competent to make it by
u man well versed in Biblical Interpretation
and the history of the Church, and its action
in reference to Slavery from the time of our
Lord to the present day. This pamphlet is
therefore commended to any who may wish for
clear, satisfactory, and brief refutation of
the defenders Of Slavery from the Bible. Tho
author has done the good cause service, by
clearing our religion Of all part Or lot in this
matter. The arguments of the Bishop are ia
ken up, one after another, and disposed of with
most remorseless logic, with a comprehension
of the whole subject that leaves nothing to be
desired, and with keen wit and biting sarcasm,
that give an interest to discussion, that might
otherwise be dry and tedious. A friend Of ours
read it through three times in one day-ouce
out of respect to the author, expecting valu-
second time, to enjoy the wit, and see how sci
entiically the Bishop was cut up and laid out !;
and third time, to see if any trace of the
Bishop or his arguments was to BIO found.
We shall not quote from it, but leave it for
our readers to enjoy at their leisure A few
copies may be found on sale at the Freeman
Office, and at Ballou's Book Store.
