NOT SO.

| Ihe New York Herald, with unparalleled ef-
fronfery, claims that the capture of essrs. Mason
and Silaei Is not an authorized act of the Govern
ment. Other Northern papers. disturbed by the
hostile attitude Of England, are reported 10 have
made The same declaration This is the most
shameless assertion yet made by the partisaus of
the Lincoln Administration. If the act did not meet
the approval of the Government, Messrs. Mason
and slideil would of course have been DISCHARGED
the moment they reached Fortress Monroe and the
facts were communicated to Washington. Instead
OF that the deed was accepted and approved Il as is
shownby the immediate imprisonment of our Com
mssloners 1t makes not the least difference
whether Wilkes was ordered to arrest them or not.
by taking possessionof our Commissioners after
they were caught, the Government endorsed the
act and as responsible for it as if they had
ordered it. An accessory after the fact is held to
be guilty in the eye Of the common law, and will
be SO held by international law al
The, Northern President made no mention of the
Circumstance in his message, and as it is absurd to
suppose that such q thing could have been passed
over BY accident, we may conclude that he was
AFRAID to say anything about it. He knew II was
lndefenslble, but he knew disapproya of it would
incense his people. His Secretary of the Navy,
M f'., ~, t0ss piuuene OF more honest took pains
% write special letter to Wilkes not only endors
ing the capture, but regretting that he did not
seze the vessel besides! Yet the Herald says that
neither the President nor any member Of his
Cabinet has approved the act! The House of Re.
representatives., by almost a unanimous vote, ten.
dered thanks to Wilkes, and proposition was
made that Messrs. Mason and sdeli be put in soli
tary confinement as common felons After all
this to say that the arrest 10 not approved by the
Government is the most sublime piece Of impudent
ever yet SEEM If the Northern people
and press think they can deceive Great Britain by
such bare.facedlie as this, they are even bigger
fools than we had supposed.

CoaFEpERATE REvEasR. The Telegraph reports
! Confederate reverse near Drainesyille, Virginia.
This Is little village nearly due north from Cen
tresilIe. ana not more than dye or six miles from
the Potomac. II Is nearly half way between Alex
anria and Eeesbnrg. bnt is nearer the latter than
tie former, II seems that our men were surprised
BY an overwhelming force. and that three thousand
of them undertook 10 make stand against fifteen
thonsand Of the enemy. Had they expected bat
tie, probably they would have won the fight !; but
instead Of 4 foraging party, which they expected
10 enceunter, they came across full army of
fifteen thousand men. The defeat could not have
been much Of q defeat after an, as the telegraph
reports less Of only thirty killed on side and
az many more wounded.
y Itsis further said that the remainder Of Long
streets brigade have been sent to reinforce our
troops at Drainessille and if 30, expect to hear
Of another battle very soon probably to-day. If
three thousand men fought all day against fifteen
thousand, we may easily anticipate the result when
the numbers are equal. We are glad to see that
there is 3 disposition on the partof our Generals
on the Potomac to make an advance.
