wrath Of the people may be appeased by
the full particulars of transaction which
is regarded at first fash as a wanton in
suit to the British flag, remains to be
seen. In the present condition Of the
British people, the want of employment
and anticipated want and suffering of the
masses, the bitterness of the Conserva-
tives towards our Republican Government
and the reckless falsehoods Of malignant,
corrupt and subsidized Press, the British
Government may embrace the favorable
opportunity to attempt to humble our flag
and destroy the Government founded by
Washington
The anti-slavery feeling which prevail
ed almost universally in Great Britain
during the last generation, has measur-
ably subsided or given way to the stronger
feeling of self-interest. The demand for
cotton, and the hatred of our Republican
Government and the hope of breaking
down commercial rival, will, for the
time, far outweigh in influential and
practical circles in England, the latent
and almost dormant anti-slayery scnti-
ment which controlled everything there
forty years ago. Besides, self-interest
will be easily made to believe the oft-re-
peated and industriously- -propagated false
hood that the Government at Washing
ton is as thoroughly committed to the
maintenance of slavery as that at Rich
mond.
Ii is not, therefore, beyond the range
Of possibility that the British Government
will become an ally of the slaveholding
South, to .reak its revenge on us-to dis
rupt the country and to obtain control
ling influence in America Should such
prove to be the course of the British Gov
ernment, the civilized world will be inter
ested In q war on one side for slavery and
despotism and on the other for the rights
of man and free institutions. The result
may not come soon, but it will be sure
Slavery and dsspotism will sink in dis
honored graves

1t is probable that the first military ex-
ecution for desertion will take place soon.
Private Johnson, who deserted from Co
d. Lincoln Cavalry, was endeavoring not
only to get away from our army but to 90

him are conclusive. The trial will proba-

derstood that an example will be made of
him.
Last night the troops along the center
of our lines slept on their arms. A des-

that an attack by the enemy was probable

were drawn up in line, but afterwards dis

There was great popular ovation to
Gen. Lane, of Kansas, at the fremont
Temple, Boston, last Saturday morning.
He said
Born in a slave State, and nnrsed by a
slave, he had now got rid of what reyer-
ence he had for slavery. IApplause. My
memory runneth not to the time when
slavery did not threaten the Union. You
all desire to have this rebellion crushed
out, aud an honorable peace, but he is cow
ard who would wish this war ended with
the knowledge that our children were to

Whenit is attempted to arouse your SYM
pathies for the slaves Of the Union men,

in the secession communities. They are
driven out, and their slaves are used us

asked to return such slaves to their own

You ask, would not that be cruel? | say
if we are to carry on this war to kill our
own people, instead of the rebels, let us
stop now. If it be inhuman they have
the means to prevent it, let them return
to their allegiance and they shall be kind
ly received. But If the war is to continue,
we will use all the means in our power to
conquer them Loud applause. This
war shall never close while the shackles
remain upon one slave. Cheers and re-

They would die a thousand deaths rath-
er than betray one secret that would
tend to the injury of their liberators.
[Applause,
If the rebellion is to be crushed out, it
must be by crushing out the cause of the
