OF THE ENGLISH PRESS, &C.
Foreign files By the .AustTaiasian, at New
York, show that the question Of the American
war continued to engage attention The letter
of Cassius NJ. Clay, in the London Times, had
been followed BY another from Mr.. Motley,
the historian, who had, n great length, set
forth his views Of the American struggle attri.
butinc all the trouble to the South. alr. Clay
had found an antagonist in tho person Of Mr..
Egypt. Mr.. De Leon writes to the Times
controverting the points set up By the Ken.
tuckian.
The tone OF the PaImcrston organs is dcci.
dedly favorable to the letter Of rnarque plan
OF the Southern Confederacy. Indeed it is
now held By high commercial and legal au-
thority in England, that its commissioned pri'
vateers may take prizes into any neutral port
and keep them there until their condemnation
is pronounced by its admiralty courts sitting
in Charleston, New Orleans, Mobile or SaTan-
nah. This judgment, il equitably rendered,
will, it is alleged, be binding on British mari
time courts.
The people Of England are said to be averse
to the privateering business, but Mr.. Lindsay,
NJ. P, who recently visited this country, in a
speech to his constituents at Sunderland. nd
vised France and Eogland to step forward and
proclaim the independence Of the Southern
Confederacy as the only means Of ullaying the
thirst for blood which, he says, prevails at
the North. The London Morning Post, Lord
Palmerston's organ. asserts that tho Southern
States were de Jaeto independent at the mo-
ment.
Lord Palmerston says, through his London
organ, the "Post," that Canada will soon be.
come the centre of commerce and emigration
for the American continent, and that a donles-

The Cash system.

After mature elaboration the Publishers of
this paper have determined to adopt the
CASH system. They have been led to this
step by the heavy losses experienced from
debts scattered throughout the State, which
they have been unable to collect, the neces-
sity which compels them to pay cash for la
Dor in the printing Office, for paper and other
supplies, and the general adoption of the sys-
tenn on the part of leading houses in all
branches of trade and industry. The cash
system, necessary to protect US, will also be
beneficial to punctual subscribers, inasmuch
as it will rid US of the expense entailed by
non-paying subscribers, and enable US to re-
duce the price of our weekly paper. From
this date, therefore, we shall enter the name
of no person on our books as a subscriber,
unless he pays for his paper in advance. And
on the LIST day of July next, we shall erase
from our subscription lists every name not
paid in advance. Our weekly paper will be
turo dollars per annum. Those who have al
ready paid in advance beyond the LIST day of
July, 1861, will be allowed the benefit of this
reduction from that date.
~ We shall keep this notice standing in our
columns until the Isl of July, and, on that day,
erase eUzy delinquent from our list.

A SAD AcCIDENT.-We regret to state that
Capt. CHARLES VAN DAMME lost his life yester-
day accidentally. He was at the time en-
gagged in polishing with sand paper a steel
plate, used in the manufacture of percussion
CAPS, and in which there was a slight flaw.
A very small quantity of percussion powder,
lodged in this flaw, was exploded by the fric-
ton of the sand paper. The explosion un-
fortunately communicated with small quanti-
ties of the powder under the plate, which was
projected against his forehead with such mo-
mentum as to carry away portion of the
skull and brains, and pass on to the ceiling
Capt VAN DAMME was a Belgian by birth,
hne scholar, and had an extensive fund of
military information. He was very efficient
in the knowledge of pyrotechnics, and the
manufacture of Illuminating and decorating
powders. He had been for some time past in
the employment of the State, manufacturing
percussion caps.
The death OF Capt. VAN DAMME will not
interfere with the manufacture of percussion
caps. The arrangements are so perfect that
they can be carried on without him, and So
900 manufactured daily.

An American Hugo and Parfsinan--
Adultery. Love and Death.

One of those tragedies which come at in .
tervals, like revelations of the human heart,
lately occurred at Cone Bayou, Ark, on the
st. Francis river, some five miles from Wal
nut Bend.
A wealthy, amiable and exceedingly popu-
lar planter, the widowed father OF rising
family, in whose welfare his heart seemed
conferred, resided in the locality above speci-
fed; and none in the neighbOrhood was more
Cooked up to- than W. I'll. Roberts, ESQ
With Mr.. Roberts dwelt Mr.. and Mrs. Dale.
Mr. Dale acted kind of horticulturist
manager on the plantation, in which, or the
products of which, it would seem he had
some pecuRiary interest. A warm friendship
existed between the three, and it was long
ere Mr.. Dale perceived the danger that must
arise from the constant intercourse, during
his necessary absence, between his wife and
MIR. Roberts, all suspicion, even the remotest,
being obViated not only by his esteem of Ro-
berts, but also by the blood-cooling fact that
Mrs. Dale had borne him two children.
Wednesday last circumstance, trifing in
itself, aroused the heretofore easily discarded
doubts of Mr.. Dale, and induced him to lay
plan, the success of which confirmed his mis-
cry and cost his wife and Mr.. Roberts their
lives.
Thursday last he left the house to get the
hands to work as usual, but rapidly return
ing to his room, found Mr.. Roberts in his
(Dale's) bed with Mrs. Dale. Mr.. Dale had
with him double-barreled gun, he raised
and aimed it at Roberts, but the adulteress,
though lost to shame, still had love, and
throwing herself around her paramour, beg
ged her husband to spare him and kill her,
Dale, with the firm nerve of a great wrong,
fired, fired twice, and the false wife and false
friend lay dead on the couch of their guilt.
Mr.. Dale calmly awaits legal examine
ton; but whatever title the law may find for
his deed, public opinion will sanctify it, from
its knowledge of the workings of the human
heart, from the letter of the Word of God
Mem. argus.

advance the flag Of Dixie
Hurrah hurrah
For Dixie's land We'll take our stand,


Now, do not wish to spoil pretty illu-
sion, but the real truth is that Dixie is an in
digenous Northern negro refrain, as common
to the writer hereof as the lamp posts in New
York city, seventy or seventy five years ago.
1t was one of the every day illusions of boys,
at that time, in all of their outdoor sports.
And no one ever heard of Dixie's land being
other than Manhattan Island until recently,
when it has been enormously supposed to re-
fer to the South from its connection with
pathetic negro allegory.
When slavery existed in New York, one
"DiXy" owned large tract of land on Man.
haitian Island, and large number of slaves
The increase of the slaves and the increase of
the abolition sentiment caused an emigration
of the slaves to more thorough and secure
slave sections, and the negroes who were thus
sent off (many being born there) naturally
looked back to their old homes, where they
had lived in clover, with feelings of regret,
as they could not imagine any place like
Dixy's. Hence it became synonymous with
an ideal locality, combining ease, comfort
and msterial happiness of every description.
In those days negro singing and minstrelsy
were in their infancy, and any subject that
could be wrought into ballad was eagerly
picked up; this was the case with "Dixie."
1t originated in New York, and assumed the
proportions of song there. In its travels it
has been enlarged, and has ''gathered moss"
it has picked up ''note" here and there;
"chorus" has been added to it, and from an
indistinct "chanto of two or three notes, it
has become an elaborate melody; but the fact
that ii is not a Southern song cannot be
rubbed out" the fallacy is SO popular to the
contrary that L have thus been at pains to
state the real origin of it. P.
