The New York Times, of the 18th inst,

Connecticut which steamer arrived at New
York on the day previous;
The news brought by the Connecticut from
Tybee Island and Port Royal is highly inter-
estiug, but from prudential reasons is with.
held from publication at the present time
1t is confidently asserted that Savannah and
Charleston, what little remains of it, will
soon be in possession of the Union forces.
Tybee Island is occupied by about 1000
men. If batteries should be needed to ope-
rate against Fort Pulaski, these men will
Immediately commence to build them.
When the Connecticut left Tybee, the war
steamer Savannah and four gunboats lay in
the sound, within two miles Of Fort Pulaski.
An expedition, consisting of the BienUiiLS
and another gunboat. and the steam trans
port Baltic, had left Port Royal for Fernsn-

The fortifcation at Ferlandina consisted OF
single battery of Eve guns, which was
manned by about 300 rebels.

Important from nIissouri.

The St. Louis Democrat of the 10Th states
that a gentleman arrived in that city on
Tuesday night last, from Clinton, town on
the Pacific Railroad, and that the place was
in the possession Of a force of from 600 to 800
rebels, the greater part of them from the
Osceola Camp. They were carrying on 10 a
very high and boastful manner, prosecuting
the Union men who have remained in that
town, and committing all sorts of depreda-
tions upon private property. Late on Sun
day evening this gentleman met the adUanced
guard Of General Pops's diUisioH about three
miles distant from Clinton. He thinks the
rebels were entirely ignorant of the approach
of our troops, and expresses the belief that
they have been surprised and cut off OsceoIs
is about twenty-five miles south of Clinton,
and if this gentleman's statement be correct,
very rapid advance of the divisions of
Generals Pope and Steele has doubtless been
made upon Prices head quarters. Stirring
news from that quarter is looked for.

Secretary Stewards FORESIGHT.

The present aspect of our relations with
England recalls the admirable letter of Sec
retary Seward to the Governors of the differ
ent States, advising them of the Importance
of making immediate preparations for the
fortifcation of their respective coasts and
harbors. The letter appeared more than two
months ago, and wherever acted upon, as in
the case Of Maine, proved to be most timely
and valuable admonition. Whatever may
be the issue of the new complication with
England, immediate steps should be taken
by the authorities of our seaboard cities tC
see that the approaches to all the harbors are
carefully protected.

sumption is less than one halfper head COM
pared to the North, and where but one

but in the North and Northwest, where
nine tenths of all our imports are bought
and used.
1t is absurd 10 say that the American peo.
PIE desire war with England. They say,
with the President tone at time" Mr..
Stewards recent dispatches are eminently
frank and implicit on that point. But it is
as foolish to imagine that war with that
country can do US a serious or lasting injury.
If we were conscious of bringing it about by
our own misconduct, the national heart
would, perhaps, rouse to it with less alac-
rity; but if che pushes us to the wall, and
forces hostilities upon us on such silly pre-
texts as those enumerated by the ministerial
and other journals of London, we shall not
be the worse for il in the end. 1t will only
infuse new energy into our soldiers, our
Government, our Congress, our people. The
news of British fleet approaching New Or.
leans would hasten on our own Mississippi
gunboats. If we have a foreign foe to fight
at sea, we shall the more concentrate our
land movements against the domestic en-
emy and, counting those traitors who in
vite foreign aggression at least as much
enemies as the foreigners they ask for
help, we should probably unite to carry on
war with all the means in our possession,
and use the four millions of black Unionists,
who are ready to help us against all enemies,
as Madison suggested they should be used in
our first war against England. He wrote
from Philadelphia, November %, $780, to {
member of the Virginia Legislature "Would
it not be as well to hberate and make sol
diels at once of the blacks themselves, as tc
make them instruments for enlisting white
soldiers" ?" He continues: "With white
officers, and a msjority of white soldiers, nC
imaginable danger could be feared from them
selves, as there certainly could be none from
theefFect of the example on those who shoul,
remain in bondage; experience having
shown that freed man Immediately loses al

would make short work of the rebellion, an

foes.

THREATENED WAR BETWEEN ENGLAND AND
THE NORTHERN STATES There now scarcely
remains a gleam of hope that peace will be
preserved between England and what rsnsins
of the United States. The arrest of Slidell
and Mason on board British vessel, sailing
from one neutral port to another, has been
pTououu ced by the law officers Of the Grown,
in England, to be contrary TO the law of ma
tions, and England has demanded the release
Of the prisoners and an apology for the insult
to her flag. The Federal Government, through
the mouth of the Secretary Of the Navy, has
already eulogized the act, and if ths kilograms
from Washington may be trusted, the Govern
ment refuses 20 alter its decision 10 reference
to the demands now made upon it. What then
remains? Nothing, We fear, but a resort to tho
stern aIbitrament of the sword. Eoglsnd did
not take her position without full knowledge
OF all the consequences it involved, aud 1t is
quite certain that she will not recede. She Is
stanoipg upon the broad ground Of interna-
tiOnal law, and the sympsthy Of all Europe
will be with her, because other nations have an
interest as we'll as herself in maintaining the
principle for which she contends. The Fed.
eral Government is not a FREQ agent; 1t must
obey the wild impulses Of furious and un-
| governable mob. It can not change decis-
| ion which was dictated by the sort Of senu;
ment which transforms q Harney into here

AN IMPORTANT TELEGRAPHIo DIsoovERY.-
The London American makes public the dis
covery of ga telegrapbic cable and mode Of
working it, that renders distance and the me-
die through which such cable is laid an suxili-
aIy instead of an obstruction, obtaining like
wise supplies Of power from hitherto unsus-
pseted source" The invention is the product
Of VIM. p Piggott, Of LOpdOn, an eminent
medical electrician. The peculiarly Of the
cable is, that instead Of requiring an enormous
electric charge 10 be forced through the whole
length Of a line by powerful batteries, a. eseh
successive transmission Of signal, as a. pres
snt, in long lsad and sea routes, the wire con-
tinues staticaliy charged as II is laid, while the
least disturbance Of the equilibrium OF this
passive electric charge, imperative and upin-
huenced until called into action by the opera
tor, answers through ali its length TO the
slightest transmitted influence, and so serves
every practical purpose. The enormous ten
sion that elseuil cables nov undergo, arising
from the great power Of the electric oqfrent
required for long distanoes, and which is be-
lisved to have caused the failure Of all marine
cables more than three hundred and hfty miles
long hitherto laid, Is thus obyiatsd.

The Government Financial Scheme.

Secretary Chase's plan for relief to the Treas.
ury by Government issue Of paper money,
beginning with $3.50, ,O00, 900, designed to take
the place of all other paper money, does not
meet universal favor, If the public press is an
index Of popular sentiment The appreheu-
sion is felt in financial circles in this city, and
such must bo the feeling in those circles every
where, that the proposition can not be carried
into effect without serious arrangement of the
monetary and commercial relations OF the
country. The plated revelation is
great one, and revolutions in any thing never
fail to disturb all the elements related to them.
1t is questionable whether o redemption by
the banks of all their issue within the next six
months is not impossible. There are few of
them which have not their resources good
deal tied up in consequence of the financial
troubles Of the pas. few years, and to compel
these to the line Of conduct proposed will be
to wind them up or break them up altogether,
the immediate consequences of which TO the
communities in wbicn they are situated are
teTday, IL seems to us that the Secretary 3
scheme should be the last financial resort Of the
Government to sustain itself aud extin-
guish the rebellion. Adopt II now, and, If
the rebellion should nos be extinguished By
July, at which time the relief afforded to the
Treasury by the scheme will be exhausted, what
will be the next resort Of tho dovernmenR 1t
can not issue paper money indefinitely. An
issue beyond $3.50 900, 900 will operate as inda.
ton, and the inevitable final event would be a
commercial crash such as has never been known
| before. TIE scheme is, indeed, surrounded by
thousand difficulties, and Congress must not
be in haste to adopt it Chicago Times.
The bankers of the country complain that,
after they have rallied to the relief o. the
country and loaned their money to Secretary
Chase, be turns about and proposes a scheme to
blow them up!
No fact was better understood than that
Secretary Chase was "well defined" anti
bank, hard money man, and that, while he had
no compunctions to using banks when in y
pinch, he, nevertheless, was at heart opposed
to their existence. His position is as we'll uu-
derstood on this question, as was John Tyler'i
on the Bank of the United States, and it may
be, that those who warmed him into power may
get their iugers burned, as those who voted fol
Tip and Ty without why or wherefore
Some good may yet come of these things-CO

The Feelips in Washington.

The telegraph to day gives us additional
news concerning the feeling in Washington
about the news from England. But the
reports are 30 contradictory that it is impos-
sib!e 10 form any correct idea of the true
state of feeling. But guessing at the result,
we think the indications are that there will
be no war between our country and England,
occasioned By the arrestof Mason and Slidell
The second sober thought, We think, will
cause the present belligerent attitude and
expression of our British neighbors to assume
a more friendly and pleasant shape

From the Toronto Leader, 18th instl
The War News-How It was Received
in the City.


The city was in a feverish state of excite
ment yesterday. The news brought by the
steamers from England was read with the
greatest avidity, and discussed with the utmost
intensity of feeling. Nothing but the pros
poets of war were spoken of In all quarters
and by all classes. During the day opinion
seemed to be divided as to what the course of
the Federal Government would be. Would
they give up Messrs, Mason and Slidell on the
demand of the British Government? or would
they refuse that demand, and run the risk of a
conflict with England, and in all probability
with France also2 In the evening those doubts
were removed by the news from Washington,
that the Federal Government had determined
to retain the captured gentlemen, and not yield
to the demand of Britain. Under such circum-
stances it may readily be conceived that the
volunteer movementwss that which was upper

subject of general conversation. New rife
CORPS and drill classes we're inaugurated, aud

of the Bright and Golden school are very
decidedly against the feverish movements of
the cotton spectators. Mr.. Bright had de-

more calm consideration of the affair, and
generally upheld the cause of the North
Mr.. Golden had expressed similar sentiments

order to put at rest the apprehensions of
those who speculate upon the damage that
will be done to the good cause on account of
the prohibition of all exports of arms from
Great Britain, it is only necessary to say
that few or no orders have been sent for
British muskets, rifles, cannon or military
munitions. The Government a long time
ago availed itself of supplies from other and
more friendly sources.

in sheet of flames, but the citizens worked
with heroic energy, and as fast as the roof
caught FIRE it was extinguished.
