WHAT ENGLAND MEANS TO DO.
Dn;nsoo nf NJ. Dallas

The correspondent of the New York Tribune
gives the following statement of the views of Hon.
George NJ. Dallas, late United States Minister to
the Court of St. james, with regard to the policy
of England in reference to the Confederate States
Mr.. Dallas converses very unreservedly about
the feeling of the British Ministry towards this
Government. He believed the Ministry to be
hostile to US (the north), and that Lord John Rus
sells early recognition of the rebels belligerents
was not premature declaration, to be repented
of hereafter but deliberate policy to be adhered
to as far as it goes lie is disposed to believe that
the great arbitcr is cotton-that the stock on
hands will keep the English mills employed until
November, the Ministry will not openly counte-
nance the rebellion until it is ascertaned whether
the crop is to be exported or not. 1t we crush
the rebels and permit the crop to be 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 tolerably quiet,
making only occasional roaring. Hence, as
the time for shipping the new crop approaches, the
question of how England means to act will be
more clearly answered. Nj 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 show Of favoring
the Cotton Lords, they would do the same thing;
it is for Office, after ALL that they contend
ing, their future policy will be just such 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.

GLORIOUS NEws.-Our fellow citizen, Capt J.
G. McManus, the owner Of the Vicksburg Mail
Line of steamers, left New Orleans on Tuesday
and arrived in this city yesterday. He states that
a despatch had been received from Berwick's Bay,
to the effect that the Confederate States war
steamer Sumter, Capt. Raphael Semmes, returned,
bringing fifty five thousand Enfield rifles, together
with other accoutrements, and a large number Of
rihed cannon.
1t seems that the Sumter met near Cuba an
English vessel that on her way TO New Orleans
with the arms which had been ordered previously
They were transferred to the Sumter, and that
vessel had arrived at the Balize IN safety.
The same gentleman informs US that ten
thousand hogsheads of tobacco disposed of in
New Orleans in day during last week. The
tobacco is intended for the French market, and the
French purchasers paid for it IN gold, instead of
bills, as heretofore The tobacco must be taken
TO France, and will go there in French bottoms
If old Abcs vessels undertake to prevent it, the
distinguished rsil-splitter will have fight upon
his hands in which somebody" will be hurt

SENTIMENT IN IowA.-The following reSln
ton, among Others adopted unanimously at KncI
vile, Iowa, will give some idea Of the tone Of d,
meeting:
"That in the admins tration of our Govcrnu~,
during the last three months, under Abraham
Lincoln, we behold our beloved country distracted
at home and disgraced abroad; foreign eOmmeus
paralyzed; domestic trade annihilated; our coast,
blockaded; our majestic rivers shut up; railroad,
seized and broken; the Constitution tramped
under foot; the laws suspended; courts and judges
powerless; citizens imprisoned without warrant Or
redress; States imroded and dismemLered; busii
ness Frustrated; markets destroyed; banks collapsed
debts repudiated; credit, both public and private
languishing; and, in word, a sanguinary war
raging over one-half the Union, which, if cen.
tinucd must inevitably drain the nation of It's
blood and treasure, demoralize the American people
and sweep away every yestige of constitutional
freedom.

A SIGNIFICANT INDIcATIoN.-One of the most
significant signs of the times, the fact that the

Two merchants of this city have at this moment
orders for $4,000 and sec, 900, respectively, of
Southern stocks Under the orders received,
there has been, within the last week or two, quite

furnished with the following particulars: Mr. John
M. Smith, son of Calvin ID. Smith, aged about
Is years, was in the field blowing with young
mule, when shower of rain came on. NJ Smith
unhitched the mule from the pillow and fastened
the trace chains over the names. In attempting
to mount the mue.to ride to the house, one of his
feet became entagled in the chains, which fright

the young man some two hundred yards, breaking
his skull and injuring his back and loins. He

A DESPERATE NEGRo.-TWO GUARDS SLAIN
We learn that about eleven o'clock last night
a most atrocious outrage was committed in the
North Eastern part of town, north of the Whining
ton and Weldon Railroad, whereby two members
of the Town Guard, named George W. Duval and
John Donahoe, were almost instantly killed by a
desperate runaway negro known as "Bill Wanet."
1t would seem that the fellow has been runaway
for some three years, having been purchased about
that time by DIR. I. b. Carr to whom he new
belongs. There being reason to suppose that he
was har0ored by negro woman belonging to
Alfred Martin, Esq, occupying small house or
kitchen in the part of town already referred to-,
three Of the guard went there last night for the
purpose of arrestine him. The three were G. w.
Duval, John Donahoe and Nicholas Carr. Carr
knocked at the door, when the negro jumped out
of the window in his night clothes, and the three
took after him, Donahoe and Duval somewhat
ahead. After jumping over a fence into corn
patch he was stopped by another fence over which
he could not jump, thus enabling the guard to get
up with him. When they attempted to arrest
him, he turned, cutting fercely with knife, killing
Donahoe instantly and wounding Duval SO severely
that he also died almost instantly. Donrhoe was
stabbed twice in the right side and Duva twice in
the left
Carr coming up knocked the negro down twice
with his club, when the fellow clinched in upon
him cutting away, but fortunately only through
Cars clothes. In the tussle they both got down
and Carr having lost his club, could not hope to
hold on to desperate and powerful fellow. armed
as the negro was, SO that the latter got away. He
must bear the marks of the severe blows he got
twice from Cars club, and once from Duvals
lie must be still lurking about, and no doubt will
be promptly arrested Dr. Carr has outlawed him
