JUDGE UNION.
And His Friends in Europe.

JrmE Union WAS a brave old man.
His years were eighty four,
Yet vigorous still, and unimpaircd
Ths crown oi Yeas he w.'rc.
Without the aid ni >pcctaclcs
He'd read both h,nk aud letter:
Til" srrinklcd gray On beard and brow
just made him look the better.
But once upon the ice he slipped,
And give his knee a sprain.
Nor all the doctors ronnd about
Could set it right again =
They throng'd in co,iclavc to his house,
They sat IN consultation
And even twas ruin"rcd secretly
o Had mentioned aniputa,iun.
Some friends he had across the sea,
Whn from his eArli-s, date
Had watched with interest intense
His movements and estate.
But 10! instead Of sympathy
In these his trial hours.
They SIT themselves to uilgnify
Their own prophetic powers.
owe warn d him from the very first,
That danger would ensne.
II he went wandering all alone
o or slippery paths aud new
W. always knew it would he so,-
But he was proud and bold,
Aud now the very thing has come
That We so long torctold''
Yrt still, Judge Union has \ hope
Forth as Of old to co.
His tunytitutipu is Z, pnod
We trust il will be so.
The hearts Of millions hold him dear
And for his welfare pray
Aud :. may he live y thousand years."

ARE WE PREPARED TO FIGHT ENGLAND p
This question naturally Suggests itself to al
most every man whose mind is directed to
the condition of things now existing bet weeD
England and our country. In many respects
we are better prepared Tor war with her than
we were before the rebellion broke out
We have in operation all the machinery and
appliances for q rapid supply of the muni-
tions of war; and the war spirit is so fully
aroused among our citizens that we could
probably raise number of troops equal to
any emergency. The States that lie between
our army and Canada are intersected by
numerous railroads; and by temporarily con-
fning ourselves to defensive operations
against the South, we could pour two hun
dred thousand soldiers into British North
America and conquer it before England
would be ready to commence hostilities. We
do not believe that there is any danger oi
war. Both England and ourselves have too
many motives for peace to plunge voluntarily
into such folly. The Strengthening of the
defenses on. our Northern frontier and sea
coast is urged in the interest of peace. It is
to prevent England from supposing that she
can lightly take advantage of our domestic
troubles for the promotion of selfish ends

Gently passed by the Tennessee Legisla-

"Whersas, It is believed that there are
persons in the State of Tennessee who are
so lost to patriotism as to engage in speculs-
tion in articles necessary to the maintenance
and comfort of the army of the South, in
many instances assuming the character of
agents to the military authorities, they have,
it is believed, purchased many articles from
the honest and patriotic masses at extreme
low prices, which they have and will turn
over to the army at immense profits, thus
robbing the patriotic masses of their sub.
stance, the soldier of articles necessary to
smooth his rugged pathway, placing the
prices of necessaries Of life out of the reach
of his family, and increasing the cost of
every thing purchased by the War Depart
ment; therefore,

the State of Tennessee, That we, the Repre-.

A Savage Article from the High Tory
Orpap, the London Herald.

The LONDON Herald, the high Tory organ Of
the Earl Of Derby, is more violent and out.
rsgeous in it's comments upon the Trent affair
than any other Euglsh journal. We quote
from the New York Times:
We can not refrain from quoting specimen
of the Herdlds vindictive rant, sounding, as it
docs, like a Transatlantic echo of mischeVous
nsmesake on this side of the water:
"We trust that there will be no delay in
aveDgipg an outrage unpreceden ed, even in
the annals of American laWlessness. We trust
that no hesitation will give the country reason
TO suppose that in his manifold assaults on our
national honor, as in this crowning insult, Mr..
Seward has been encouraged by u belief tba at
there were in the British Ministry men whose
patience might be trusted to endure any out
Inge On their country, and whose ingenuity
would be able to devise in any quarrel plausi-
| BILE case for their country's foe. Even che so
| phistical talent of Mr.. Gladstone can frame no
excuse for 'wanton piracy even Mr.. Bdghta
taltSt for inveotige must fail to deter a ministry
| from prompt pursuance of course in which the
| Datiop will support them one man. 0pposi-
tion to the vindicstion of the national honor
will only consign to utter political iusig-
| Dlficance the politician who ventures to attempt
| it, and We would hope that there is but one man
in England capable OF apologizihg for the pirati
| cal outrage Of the San Jdcinto. What We have
| TO do is sufficiently clear. 1t Is the duty OF
our government to demand the immediate re-
turn OF the gentlemen stolen from under our
flsg, in honorable guise, together with au
ample apology for a Ia Sless sctOf piratical ag.
grsssion, and TO prepare for the rejection o
such a demand by dispstehiDg forthwith TO thu
American coast such naval force as may iu
sure the total destruction of the Federal navy
and the instant blockade of all the chief North
erD ports, if due satisfaction be not given with

Immediately on receipt of this news, Mr.

The bill 10 amend the act Of July last, which
grants one hundred dollars bounty TO the SOL
diers OF the exPiration Of two years. and TO those
sooner bonorably discharged By reason OF
wounds and disabilities, so ns to extend its
provisions to those who entered the service un-
der the first proclamation Of the President and
we're similarly disqualified, was, after debate,
laid on the table.
The House resumed the consideration of the
bill providing for the construction Of twenty
iron clad steam gun boats, to be built By con
tract or otherwise, as the Secretary of the Navy
may deem best for the public interest.
Mr.. Vallandgham offered and advocated an
amendment, that the new gun boats shalt be
constructed at the Navy yards, as far as practi-
cable, or by private contract, after giving ten
days notice
Mr. Vallapdigham incidentally said, in the
course Of his remarks, that rather than yield
the principles which we have held for years,
he was prepared to meet the combined hOstil-
ity Of the whole world, and this he believed TO
be the sentiment of the entire American people.
Mr.. Vallandigham's amendment was disagreed
to, aud the bill passed.
Mr.. Colfax, from the COMMITTEES on the Post
Office, reported q bill 10 promote the efficiency
of the Dead.letter Office, based on the recon
mendatioDs of the Postmaster General in his
report. The bill was passed.
On motion of Mr.. Washburne the Committee
on Elections were instructed to inquire aud re-
port whether any person holding Office under
the United States and receiving compensation
therefor, is at the same time holding q sea,
here and receiving com pensation as member

We understand that the last steamer from

men, each provided with a commission from
the Mexican Government, authorizing him
to fit out privateer to prey upon the COM
merce of Great Britain, France and Spain.
However grossly the Government of Great
Britain is violating the spirit Of Its treaties
with us by sheltering the pirate NashUitLe,

A Resort to Drafting Becoming Neces-


The Congress Of the Confederate States seems
to be awakened to the great public me-
ctssity of forming an army of regularly organ
jZEd and veteran troops. The large bounty
which it now offers for long enlistmentsJ and
the Inducements which il holds out to the
twelve months voluntesrs to engage themselves
for q ssrvics of three years, will go far toward
procuring the material Of a substantial and dis
ciplined army. We fear, however, that it will
be found, before this war is ended, that all
plans for raising good troops, except that prao
tiesd and relied on by all the military nations
of the world in this and in past ages, will be
found TO be only expensive aud uncertain make
shiftp. England and ADglo-SsxOn America,
among the sturoisst, but certainly slso among
the mott unmiii sry nations of the whole earth,
alone employ the system Of voluntary enlist
ment In The formation of their armies. All
other fighting races and waTlike govern Oents
have created, ana now create, their armies by
copscriptiOn OF dIBft. That alone falls equally
on all parts of the population; that alone is sure

alone gives the host which the government
can use as workman his tool of steel.

of Iaos 10 this simple and effective measure
msy be dOubtedi but we feel assured that befor
| another ear Of Il Is ended, that Government

conclusion that the creation of inferior officers

lutte control of the Executive ofths Contederaey
In this one thing Is the radical difference be
