ENGLAND AND AMERICA.

Some of the more liberal Of the English
journals complain of the bitterness with
which we have criticized the conduct Of the
British Government. The rebuke is in
measure deserved. We have been quite too
hasty in our judgment of condemnation
against England. We have given to her
acts a construction that neither the facts
nor the deductions from the facts warrant.
ed. We have placed forced constructions
upon the delphic utterances of statesmen.
We have mistaken the loose assertions of
partisan press for the sentiments of great
people. We have forgotten that, however
much England might want cotton, her in
terest, looking to the future as well as to the
present, would impel her to desire the pres
ervation of the American Government.
It is the fault of American journalism
we had almost said the fault OF the Ameri-
can characteristic it jumps over facts to
conclusions. Two thirds of our cotempo
raries have been denouncing Great Britain
as having ''taken sides with the South"
They have gratuitously assumed that be-
cause she was not actively with, she must
be against US that because she did not
choose to to make our cause her own, she
therefore proposed to espouse that of our
enemies. Some of them went SO far as to
propose an immediate alliance with France
as if France and England did not have
the most perfect understanding with regard
to the American embroglio, and would act
in concert, as they did in the Crimea and in
China
The simple truth is, England has taken
no step which can be justly construed as
offensive, toward the United States. She
has declared her intention to remain abso-
lutely neutral. IF she has recognized the
Rebels as belligerents, she has given them
no assurances that she will recognize them
as nation. She has warned her subjects
that if they engage in preying upon our
commerce, they do it at their own peril.
She has given notice that if we catch her
seaman sailing under the black flag of JEFF
ferson Davis, she will leave them to be dealt
with as their crimes deserve.
Nor is this all. She has promised to re-
spect our blockade. She has submitted to
the cutting off her commerce with the rebel
States until the controversy between the
Government and the usurpers is settled.
She has given notice to her trading ships
that if they attempt to enter the inhibited
ports, they must expect to be treated as the
violators of international law.
She has closed her ports against the en-
trance of privateers with their booty. and
ordered that those of Canada shall likewise
be closed. She has. finally, through her
representative in the House of Commons.
indefinitely postponed motion for the rec
ognition Of the rebel States as Govern
ment de facto.
Add this she has done, we must believe.
in pursuance of fixed and deliberate pol
icy, and not, as some of our belligerent CO.
temporaries claim, because we frightened
her into good behavior. And not, we may
add. for any special love she bears US (for
''great Powers have no hearts1, but be-
cause she knows she is advancing her own
glory in sustaining us.-Ai6any Evening
Journal.

SENATOR DOUGLAS AS A POET.

I'VE find in our exchange papers the following
and very peculiar poetical composition
which is attributed to the pen of the late Senate
)ouglas.I
BURY NE IN THE MORNING.
Bury in the morning, mother
Oh, let me have the light
Of one bright day on my grave. mother,
Ere you leave me alone with the night;
Alone in the night of the grave, mother,
It's thought of terrible fear
And you will be here alone. mother,
And stars will be shining here:
So bury me in the morning, mother,
And let me have the light
Of one bright day on my grave, mother.
Ere I'm alone with the night.
You tell of the Saviour's love, mother;
feel it is in my heart
But oh, from this beautiful world, mother.
It's hard for the young to part
Forever to part, when here, mother,
The soul is fain to stay:
For the grave is deep and dark, mother,
And heaven seems far away.
Then bury me in the morning, mother,
And let me have the light
- OF one bright day my grave, mother,
Ere I'm alone with the night.

Observation-Disclosures is not so
much the effect Of an ill-education, as the
proper gift and provision of wise nature.
Every stage of life has its own set of man
ners. that is suited to it and best becomes
it. Each is beautiful in its season; and you
might as we'll quarrel with the child's rat
tie, and advance him directly to the boys
top ard marbles, as expect from difident
youth the manly confidence of ripper age.

THE RIVER GuN BoATs-The Pittsburgh
Post thus speaks Of the gun boats which
are being built for use upon the Ohio and
Mississippi:
When these vessels are completed and
ready for sea, about two hundred men, in
Guiding officers, will be required to man
them; armed with twelve long 32-pounders
and ten-inch gun. and possibly an i'm
proved rifle cannon. they will be most
formidable war vessel. 1t is presumed they
will draw, when fully manned and equip
ped for a cruise, less than ten feet of water:
and the bars, banks and shoals which pre-
vent the passage of larger vessels would
not be needed by these boats. Their speed
should not fall short of from fourteen or
fifteen knots under steam alone, and with
canvas set, at least one and half knots
should be added to its momentum. 1t will
require about four months to complete those
boats and have them ready for sea service.

PRAYER BEFORE BATrLE-On that Sab
bath morning on which the battle of Lake
Champlain was fought, when Commodore
Downie of the British squadron was sailing
down on the Americans, as they lay in the
bay of Plattsburgb, he sent man to the
masthead to see what they were doing on
Commodore McDonough's ship. the flag
ship of the little American squadron.
''Ho aloft," said DOwnie, "what are
they doing on that ship 90
Sir" answered tie lookout" they are
gathered about the mainmast. and they seem
to be at prayer" "Ah!' said Commo-
doro Downie, "that looks well for them.
but bad for u.s."
It was bad for the British Commodore.
For the very first shot from the American
ship was a chain shot. which cut poor
Downie in two, and killed him in moment.
McDonough was simple, humble Chris
tian, and man of prayer. but brave as
lion in the hour of battle. He died as he
liyed-s simple hearted. earnest Christian.
