From the Baltimore Americana
Thrilling Prophesy-How FearfuIly and
Rapidly IL Is BeIBE FULFILLED.

Rapidly IL is BeInG FULFILLED.
In last February Alabama seeded That
brave old man, Senator Clemens, who had,
till then, breasted all the storms of wild
fanaticism, and clung to the flag of our
Union, yielded TO the popular clamor and
unsheathed his sword in cause he hated,
and one he knew could not succeed He
wrote the following to friend:
We are out; we have bid adieu to the
Stars and Stripes and abandoned the high
privilege Of calling ourselves American citi-
2ens. l am not ashamed to confess that
could not restrain my tears when the old
banner, which have followed through so
many dangers, was torn down and the flag
of Alabama was raised in its place. l can
not restrain them now while l am writing !;
but the deed is done-a new era has dawned,
and all that can promise is, that no effort
shall be spared on my part to prevent it
from becoming an era of disgrace. If we
IRE not involved in a war we soon will be.
There is no hope of peace and he is little
better than madman who dreams of long
exemption from invasion. | shall meet it
when it comes as a soldier should, and fight
through it as longas hope remains. When
eve,y thing is lost as / fear ii may be, unless
wiser counsels should prevail than those
which have heretofore directed us, shall
drag my body to the nearest battlefield,
and lay down life which has lost its
value.
How swiftly has his prediction been veri-
fed. Ere the echo of his voice, pleading to
the fanatics to "stop!" had died away, the
cry rang out, to arms A State, then pros.
porous, is now bankrupt, all the horrors OF
war is upon them, business ruined, and in
addition to the restless nights they pass fol-
fear of a servile insurrection, they will wake
some morning and hear the roar of Federal
cannon ut Mobile. The battle-f field will be
near to the home of Senator Clemens, and
unless some unseen hand shields him his
prophesy will be fulfilled to the letter

Late Foreign News.

The 0iy Of Washington has arrived from Liv-
srpoOl with dates to the 21st ultimo. We make
the following extracts from her news as given
in the New York Tribune:
"The Steele, the leading liberal journal, bat
half approves of the reduction of the naval and
military establishments of France.
" Mr.. BeresfOrd Hope, N. P has given q
lecture at Faversham on the War in Amer

JoIity of thinking men in this country agreed
with him, though they we're too mealy mouthed

ward restoring peace would he The establish
meDt, as soon as possible, of the complete in
dependence of the Confederate States.
"Tbe Times publishes a letter from Mr.. T.
M. Mckay, on the American Civil War as
viewed by the meroan tile classes. The Times
has a leader on Mr. Stewards recent circular re-
ferriDg to Canada, and attributes to him the wish
to store up for use, if wanted, a plausible
ground Of quarrel with England"

Where Does the Laugh Como Inc

The telegraph announces that the PROPOSE
tion of Mr.. Salisbury, to appoint committee
from the North to meet n similar body froni
the South to inquire into the possibility Vt
making a speedy and honorable adjustment
of difficulties between the two sections, was
laughed at by a majority of the Senators.
We may be mistaken, but we are of the firm
belief that speedy cessation OF hostilities,
upon honorable terms, would be hailed with
delight by all the true Union men in the
land. We do not understand from Mr. Sauls-
bury's resolution that he proposes any con-
cession of the rights of the Government, but
an adjustment that would be alike honorable
and satisfactory to the whole country. We
are decidedly in favor of the war and its ener-
getic prosecution still we would hail with
delight any indication that it was about to
cease, were such cessation founded in justice
and honor. And we believe this to be the
sentiment of all conservative and patriotic
men. Why, then, ridicule any attempt to
bring about result so desirable? For our
part we are unable to see where the laugh
should come in.

SLIGHTLY AGR1CULTUBAL.-A friend, who
knows agriculture not only like book,
bnt like farmer, suggested that the heavy
top dressing of some of the lawns and front
yards in the city defeat the object that the
owners have in view. Instead of producing
the close, velvety pile upon the sod, it stmu-
lates to a rank, coarse, luxuriant growth of
all sorts of grasses known to the botsuist.
His advice is this: sell the dressing to the
thorough rolling of the yard or lawn. This
will produce the close and short crop of
grass so beautiful to the eye and so intrinsi-
cally valuable .-NeV Bedford Mercury.
The writer might have added what is also
fact, that the heavy top. dressing tends to
rot the sod and destroy the grass.

The Regular ARMY.

1t is said recruiting for the regular army
does not progress very rapidly. The frame-
work OF the army exists-the officers are all
appointed-but the men are wanting. 1t is
not to be supposed that many men will go
into the regular service, when there is q
State bounty to attract them to the volun-
teer service. Many men think the war will
be over before three years, and that then
they can 60 back to their farms and business,
if they are in the volunteer service, but if
they are regulars, they must remain till their
term expires. Many of our Senators and
Representatives advocate the abolishment OF
the regular service and it is thought some
legislation will be had on the subject at the
present session of Congress.

Times-The Cabinet European Inter-
VeDu0n.
Russell's last letter to the London Times,
dated the 18Th of November, contains the fol-
lowing paragraph:
THE CABINET AND FOREIGN POWERS.
There are anxious, if not distracted, coun ellis
10 the Cabinet. The attitude of foreign pow
ers is regarded with apprehension; but so
thoroughly determine ed is the Northern spirit in
prOsecu'ipg this war, that 1 sincerely believe
the men aud money of tho States would he ex-
pended to the last to resist Intervention by force.
1t is, however, not the less csrlain that the
President aud bis Cabinet are not disposed to a
peaceful arbitration; and, from what hear, it
is not unlikely that at this moment the pro.
priety of accepting or asking for the interveu-
ton of a great European potentate may pc un'
der consideration. The conditions of such a
settlement will be difficult; but meantime,
success in warlike operations will give the
North broader basis apd more commanding
attitude. All The world sighs for such peace
as may secure a eontiouance of friendly rela
tions and prosperity to both sections. May it
come-quod .feGr faust unique SIT. But, come as
it may, or how it may, The arbitrament can
never reupite the fragments of the shattered
mirror in which the goddess of American liber'y
loved to survey her charms A standing army,
the suspension Of the habeas corpus, the infringe
ment Of the liberty of the press, coudscation
and proscriptiOns-these stand between aud

The newspapers have published most exag
gersted accounts of the coming in Of slaves at
Port Royal. From several gentlemen who
have recently returned from that port We learn
facts which are to be relied on as true, The
negroes have come 10 the fort 10 sell provisions,
poultry, &c, and their supplies have been
bought. Others have come from curiosity, and
lOitered around awhile, going away again when
they pleased. About one hundred and thirty
remain in the fort, having been employed to
work, receiving Iations aud eight dollars a
month. The total number that have come in
on any and every pretext does not exceed three
hundred and fifty. No indication has been
given of any desire TO accept liberty as a
permanensy. Their attachme to their m is
tsrs and the families TO which they belong does
mot seem to be diminished, and there are large
numbers probably thousands Of them-in the
neighborbood who have not come into the fort
at ali. No Reliance is placed on any infOrma-
tiOn they give. The army officers appear to

Colonel scott-what Does This Mean

We clip the following from the Now York
World of the 4tb:
every scandalous reports are rife concern
ing Colonel Scott, nephew aud secretary of the
old General. It is boldly asserted that be is
the traitor who has done so much mischief by
revealing Cabinet secrets and the plans of the
Commander in. chief to the enemy. The fail
ure of the scheme against the rebel camp al
Munson's Hill, which was known only to Gen
Scott, is attributed to the latter. 1t is int
mated that the suspicious against Colonel
Scott were so strong that his friends advised
him to quit the country, and that this had
something to do with the sudden resignation
Of General Scott and his departure with bis
nephew and others for Europe. IL is prOba bls
that these rumOrs and suspicious have been ex'
aggerated."

against the Farmers Bank of Kentucky, To-

South ut the time of the passage Of the act.
But enemies Of the blacklist kind are believed
to be, and are known to be, connected with the
banks in Louisville. 1t will be well for the
receivers to investigate and ascertain how
much or what part of the assets Of these Ken
lucky banks is owned in the States Of Indiana
and Ohio, and how much of the paper held by
parties in our city, as ostensibly for account Of
the banks in st. Louis belongs to our enemies
in Illinois. The Indiana traders and dealers,
as well as the banks, keep accounts with the
banks Of Louisville, so do the bankers and ex-
change dealers in Cincinnati ust cross the Ohio
River to Covington, open accounts with the
banks there, which will make connections in
the South. The assets of the Black Republic
cans in Wheeling, Virgins, ought also to be
made subject to the act.
