MORE OF THE NEWSPAPER MoRTALIrY.-We
have heretofore adverted to the fatality which
has befallen the newspapers in consequence Of
the war-some dead, some dying, including the
Journal Of Commerce, reduced by four columns,
and now on its last legs. Another big sheet is
about to give up the ghost, and suffer transmit.
grafton into body of very different kind
from that which it now inhabits. On the lst of
July the Courier and Enquirer is to get into the
bowels of the World, and the lion will become
one with the lamb. Colonel Webb, whom we
have known for thirty years, thus departs from
the editorial scene. He is dead and buried,
and the place which knew him shall know him
no more. Alas! poor Webb; if not witty aud
mirthful himself, he was the cause of wit and
mirth in others, and we shall sadly miss his fuss
and feathers.
This week the illustrious Webb is selling off
his property at Tarrytown, preliminary to
his starting off as Minister to Brazil; and
the remains Of his newspaper are to be swal-
lowed by the Word-an indigestible meal
which will prove the death of that concern;
for no paper lives that swallows another. The
Courier once swallowed q journal called the
american, and it has never recovered from the
effects, till now it is gobbled up in turn. In
the same way the World will get along for
while, with some email ehare of the patronage
of the government; but that will not last long,
and then it will 60 the way of all Dead Rabbit
and Puritan journals.
The process by which the Courier becomes
united with the World is curious. The World
is valued at 100000, and the Courier at
100000, and the conclusion is that both
rolled into one will be worth 100000.
They might as well say that the result would
be million and half. The truth is that
neither is worth anything, and the union Of

CrnieG srats States al right. President Lin
coJn is. logically, a despot. attempting to re-
strain pcverajen nations from Withdrawing

Confederate States take this view Of the sub.
ject, ard recognise their distinct sovereignties
by adopting constitution which says that
each State may secede at will Does the ad-
rsnis,ration DO spy less by this agreement with
Kentucky? If this agreement is endorsed
then the seeded States stand justified before
the world. This ereument, therefore, brings
us to the old conclusion, that State neutrality
is impossible
Let US hope that the administration will see
the utter folly of this agreement, and disclaim
II at once and altogether. 1t is fatal to the
Union cauee, for it admits the right Of secession
and advocates anarchy. Like the agreement
between Price and Harvey, in Missouri, also,
it is ooly cover to conceal and protect from
interference the schemes of dieunion Cover
ror. Thus it is ro less fatal to Kentucky her
sell, and her loyal sons should be the first to
save her from the meanness of this assumed
neutrality and the dangers of impending Sc
cessioa. There is but one course for Kentucky
and for the administration to pursue, and that
h the same course already adopted In Virginia
and Missouri. The Union men Of the State
must repuaiate Governor Magof6n and his agree
ment, and elect new set of State authorities.
This act the administration must endorse. Ken
lucky will then be az any other loyal State,
ready 70 aid che general government by any
means In he. power. This is the only remedy.
Neutrality is impossible, aud the true men of
Kentucky have sense enough to see that rebel
lion is nov equivalent to destruction. The
same medicine must be used for Kentucky as
for Maryland. Virginia and Missouri; only
that, rs the disease is not 80 deepssated, the
cure VIII b, easisr and more speedy. Ken
lucky provided for the same panacea will save
Tennessee, and thus sll the border States will
remain In the Union. We hope that the admi-
abstraction will attend TO this matter immediate
ly, and not hesitate to change this mistaken
policy.

TAKE HIM WHILE HE'S IN THE HUMoR.-The
offer made to the government by Commodore
Vanderbilt of his own steamer and four others
belonging to the Atlantic and Pacific Steamship
Company is most opportune. BY taking these
five vessels into the service Of the Navy De-
pertinent saving of time will be effected, the
Importance Of which is incalculable. 1t win
be at least two months before any of the new
steamers, for which tenders are invited, can be
constructed. In these two months the service
rendered by the vessels offered to the depart
ment will probably have fully accomplished
the objects for which the new ones are wanted.
We recommend the government not only to,
accept these steamers but to ask for more. The
Commodore is Just now in patriotic mood, and
there is no knowing to what extent his amor
potrie may carry him. There is one other
thing that he might do for the country, which
would be of more service to it than even the
steamers that he offers. We have at the head
of the War Department most efficient Secre-
tary; it would be desirable to place just such
another man at the head of the Navy. Commo-
dore Vanderbilt possesses knowledge and ex-
perience enough of nautical and other tactics
for half dozen secretaries. With a little
management he might be persuaded to take the
place.

ing extracts from letter of Mr.. Russell, Civ
ing an account of his recent witt to Fort Pick
ems and General Brsge's camp. They exhibit
somewhat of cooling down in the writer's
sentiments in favor Of the South, and expose
the exsggeratiops which have magnifiad the re-
sources of the rebels at Pensacola into such
formidable proportions. According to Mr.
Russells estimate, there are not more than CITY
guns Of all sorts in position, for about three
miles dong line extending 136 degrees around
Fort Pickens, the average distance being about
one and one-third mile. The amount Of en-
nunition, which he saw at Fort Barrancss did
not appear to him to be sufficient for one days
moderate firing. and his calculation of the total
eff ctive force of men under Bragg's command
wss less than s 1000, oil told. 10 much for the
Tremendous preparations which, according to
the Southern journals, were being made to
blow Fort Pickens out of the water. In biz
visit to the latter place, Mr.. Russell speaks with
he satisfaction of man accustomed to scar
military defences with critical eye. He
fcund everything within the fort in apple
pie order, the batteries well mount
ed and effective, the sanitary regulations
excellent, the officers, though not "chivalry,"
perfect gentlemen, the men quiet and orderly
looking, and though inferior in stature to their
opponents, "more to be depended on in a long
struggle" From what he saw of both camps,
his conclusion is that If Fort Pickens were
made at once the point d'oppui for vigorous
offensive movement by the feet and on the land
side, Pensacola must fall and General Bragg
be obliged to retire.
These admissions will prove terribly morti-
flying to the chivalry, who have been dining,
wining and examining generally this gentle
man. The wonder is how they ever found their
way into print. The fact that they have done
80 dsproves the imputations said to have been
cast by Mr.. Russell on the good faith of his
Southern hosts, "big burglars and pirates"
though they are in other respects. If they were
in the habit of intercepting and intsrpolating
his dispatches, they would certainly never have
allowed such statements as the above to pass.
It must have been in Printing House square, if
at all, that the alterations complained of were
made. The general tone of this Mobile letter
shows, we think, either very great modifca-
ton of opinion On the part of the writer in
regard to the prospects of secessionism, or
temporary change Of policy on the part Of his
employers.

THE FRENCH PROCLAMATION OF NEUTRALITY
The text of the French declaration of neutraM-

fully worded document than the proclams-
ton issued on the same subjectby her Britannia
Majesty, although virtually answering the same
purpose. The resolution is to maintain strict
neutrality in the struggle between "the gov
eminent of the Union and the States which
propose to form separate confederation"
Here, therefore, the federal authority and that
Of the rebels are not treated as if on an
equality. An obvious distinction Is made
between the established Power and the insur-
recdonists. The one is acknowledged as Q
government, in the full possession of strengtA.
and at peace with France; the ether receives
no acknowledgement whatever. France adheres
to her old law relating to privatsers, and will
not allow them to remain longer than twenty
four hours in any of her ports, nor to dispose
while there Of any goods belonging to them.
Thus, for all practical purposes, they might a.
we'll be prohibited from entering at all. More
than neutrality we could not expect from
France, and more we do not require. There IL,
consequently, nothing obnoxious in the issue Of
the proclamation. 1t shows us, however, that

England up to q certain point. But if she

full that we may conclude that he did no such
thing. Not, however, do we say this on &C.
count Of his sentiments being opposed to any
thing Of the kind. On the contrary, we believe
that he would like to see division Of the
United States. But We say it because he Is not
the man to utter promise 30 indiscreet, and
one, moreover, which would be ruinous to his
party. IF Lord Pslmerston made such state
ment as the correspondent attributes to him. he
would bring down upon himself the entire
strength Of the opposition In both houses; and
tits impossible that the promise could have
been made without being known in other quar-
ters than that leading to the Independence Beige.
We must therefore dismiss it ss vague aud
But if we want something definite to Judge
the British government by, We have it in the
despatch Of nearly four thousand additional
troops, with horses and artillery, to Canada, q
measure which, to cay the least, looks suspi-
cious. Here the spirit of the English govern
ment ID shown. 1t is, however, folly to sup,
pose that four thousand troops could keep
Canada in subsection if the people were dis
posed to rebel or to become annexed to the
United States. The plain inference, however,
to be drawn from this reinforcement of the
Canadian garrisons, as also the general policy
of England, lie, that war with the United
States is looked upon by the British govern
ment as very possible contingency, and
therefore the work Of preparation is being
pushed rapidly forward. The necessity for
our keeping pace with these movement>at the
same time forces itself upon our conviction.
To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
