The New Orleans Picayune learns from
gentleman just from st. Louis that city is
now filed with German soldiers brought by
Lincoln's order from different parts of that
and the free States adjoining for the pur-
pose of overawing the American population
of that city. "St. Louis (that gentleman
says) has the appearance of being in the
hands of the Germans"
The same gentleman contradicts the re-
port of Gen. Henry's raising troops for Lin
coin. On the contrary he says Henry IS
looked upon with suspicion by Lincoln on
account of his supposed Southern sympa-
thies. Gen Harvey has recently been or

TIE BRITISH DIFFICULTIES.

he Albany Evening Journal has the
following sharp and pertinent replies 10
the insolent bullying of the London
Times:
The London Times. after admitting
that HE arrest Of Sideli and Mason was
virtually justified by English precedent
and English law, deliberately sets 10 work
to convince the British public that war
with this country would open the cation
ports and set the cotton spindles Of Man
chester buzzing on full time A more
devilish appeal to the baser passions was
never made since Lucifer haranoued the
hosts of Heaven. The EThunderer' has
been against us from the beginning; bur
we could not believe that even that bold
bad print would use its influence 10 plunge
England into war with us. But we gave
it credit for virtues it did not possess. We
should have known that print which re-
commended the blowing of regiments Of
SepOys from the mouths of cannon-which
befriended Austria in the late war with
Italy-whict. gloated over the mi>fortunes
of Hungary thirteen years ago which was
the consistent hacker of daspotism in the
revolution of AS and 49-would pause
at no instrumentalities for the overthrow
of a republic it detested."
The London Times and its Yankee
! phobiac echoes tell the operatives oil
Manchester that war with this country
will set all the cotton mills running on full
time. We tell them on tho contrary that
war will bring starvation to their doors.
W.; ss2ve been their best customers we

she goads desperate people nto retalia-
tive conflict. BLuised and bleeding as we
