its efforts to put down secession and

embracing all the military and civic or

Englaud,s Position.


The British Government has taken it,
position on the war question, as will be
seen by telegrsphic dispatches publish
ed on this page. Her position is perfect
and absolute neutrality-suspicious. look
ing to the right nor to the left, ard IFS
subjects all over tho world are notified
by royal proclamation that they must
take no part in the controversy, either
by entering into the military or mara
tine service, or procuring recruits, or
fitting out vessels of war; neither to al
tempt to break any lawfully and actually
cstablshsd blockade, or to do aughl
that can be construed into giving aid oil
comfort to either side.
Nothing more than this can be asked
Of the British Government. 1t was
ferrfg fIbsi,She sfidthas erippTesto som'
extent the power OF this Government il
qnellng the great rebellion, and restor
ing affairs to their proper position. Sucl
Interference is now out of the question
and the position of England will un
doubtedly be accepted by the other
leading powers Of Europe.
The contest, then, is TO be confined to
our own borders, and be decided by the
two sections. 1t is the Government OF
the United States against. the eleven ae-
coded States and the question to be
decided is whether the Government OF
the United States shall be preserved in
its Integrity, or whether the same shall
be abandoned and allowed to fall 10
pieces. 1t is life or death to our noble
country and its noble institutions. Twen-
ty-fve millions declare Tor the Union,
while not more than a quarter of that
number demand its overthrow. The de
cision as to which shall govern is yet to
be settled by arms.

There i no doubt aboot i this time
the troops Of the Federal Government
70 the number Of some eight or ten
thousand have marched scross the Ku-
bison and commenced offensive opera
tons on Virginia soil. There are DOL
less than fIfty thousand Government
troops ready to meet any force which
the Southern rebels may have provided,
and hot wcrk may be looked for. The
6rst real engagement has not yet trans
pred, but when it does, there will be
some Of the best fighting ever done on
American soil, and we cannot say that
. victory on either side will disappo'n'
"a. We have as much faith in the
prowess and courage Of Southern troops
as We have Of our own, and al thing
being equal, il would be extremely d''-
Rcult to form ~ opinion on the result

with equal numbers on Southern SOIL
We must have ut least FIVE men to her

probably for no other purpose but to as
sist the forces at Fortress Monroe IN re-
capturing the Government property al
Norfolk and elsewhere. The line OF
march from Alexandria to Newport WI
undoubtedly DO bloody one and cost
the Government many of it's best men,
but there is no time to think OF that
now. The field is open, the first blood
has been spilled in cowardly manner.
and the war has actually begun, and viii
now probably be prosecuted with ygor.
Startling news may be expected all
along the border OF the seeded States ;
incursious Of bloody character may be
counted on both by Union and Secession
people, and such thing as peace and
security from danger, will be unknown.

between $50, 900 and 500, 900 in Missis
sippi bank notes. He tried to make
special deposits of the amount at several
Of the banking institutions OF the city,
but it was declined. Finally he was ad-
vised to invest the whole sum in sugar,

embargo just laid by the Confederate
