THE WORK OF sNEAK-TRAITORs.
The fercest advocates of war with England
at all hazards, the noisiest busterers about the
American eagle and the British lion, are men
who have long been suspected of being rebels
at heart. yallandgham is the loudest-mouthed
patriot of all, and Cox is not far behind him.
Those who heartily wish the rebellion put down
are not so anxious to precipitate hostilities.
PREPARATION.
Mr.. Sumner from the Committee on Foreign
Relations will report bill moving $1,000 TO
the owner of the British ship Pertbshire, lille.
gBlly detained by our blOckadiDg squadron in
the Cult. This prompt reparation in the
present condition of our relations with England
attests the disposition on our part to fail in no
account of justice. The bill has the unanimous
sanction OF the Committee.

tions on Gen. Fremont.
SENATOR CARLILE's SPEECH.
The speech of Senator Garlic of Va. in re-
ply to Jim Lane to-day, was so Southern in
tone as to remind several senator's of one Of
his predecessors who is now in Fort Warren.
In saying that if war were waged for the
overthrow of Slavery we should find our armies
melting away Like snow before Southern sun,
he showed that the Border-State devil had not
yet been exercised.
