by the Consuis at those ports will not be tolerated
The same paper confirms the report that four
Union war vessels were of Fort Macon, Beaufort,
North Carolina; and further states that several
regiments of rebel troops had been sent for the
protection of that place.
The action, or rather decisive statement of Lord
Palmerston relative to Robert Muir, now in Font
Lafayette, is very encouraging. The noble lord
asserted that, as Muir had become a citizen Of
the United States, he could not claim the protec-
ton of the British government from the punish
ment his evil deeds had brought upon him.
Prussian military officer of note has rendered
his services to the government of the United
States. He is highly recommended by his own
government, and is vouchea for by the Prussian
Minister at Washington.
A Major General of the British army accom-
panied General Mcclellan around the Notifications
before and around Washington. The British SOL
der expressed himself satisfied that the capital
could not be taken by the rebels.
A large quantity of specie--ovcr seven thousand
dollars-was seized by the United States Marshal
at the Office Of the American Express, it having be-
longed to rebel banking institution in the South.
The lack-of-the-supply-of -cotton fever is said to
have subsidized in England and on the European
Continent. 1t is confidently asserted by letters to
prominent persons that the supply will not fail at

Our neighbors Of st. john N. b., seem to be
driving brisk trade with the rebel States. A few
days since the ship Alliance run the blockade at
Beaufort with an assorted cargo from that port,
and Judging from the cargoes arriving occasionally
at this port from St. John, the trade between said
points seems to be reciprocal.

ST. John, N. B., with 1913 barrels naval stores
and II packages champagne, which presents new
feature in the imports from that port.

a VIGOROUS COURSE INAUGURATED IN MARY
LAND.-In yesterday mornings paper we
felt it our duty to censure the milk
and water do nothing policy of General
Dix. and called on the government to sup
press the rebelious sheets in that city, as
we'll as to arrest those members of the Legisla-
lature who meditated the passing Of an
ordinance Of secession at their meeting
next Tuesday in Frederick. 1t will be
seen that our columns to-day contain evidence
of the vigor on the part Of General Mcclellan,
who yesterday instructed General Dix to arrest
Myor Brown, the Hon. Henry May, member of
Congress, Ross Winans, ten members Of the
Legislature, Thomas J. Wall, Jr.. editor of the
Baltimore South, and +. X. Howard, editor of
the Exchange, together with Benjamin c. How
ard, the 'peace" candidate for Governor.
This is good beginning, and it is to be hoped
that now, that the white kid gloves are
thrown off by General Dix, he will not put
them on again till he has finished the work
Let martial law be proclaimed throughout the
State at once, and let every man known to be
implicated in treason be arrested without
delay. BY this grand coup de main the design
of the Legislature to take the State out of the
Union will be bafied for the present, for the
rebels, Without their leaders, are like sheep
without n shepherd. But unless the blow is
quickly followed up they will rally and rise
and perhaps the Confederate army cross the
Potomac and come to their aid. Let General
Dix take the secession bull by the horns, or the
animal will toss him high in air.

CAGGER, RICHMOND & Co., CONVICTED OF Dis
LoYALTY.--The late Democratic State Conven-
ton rcnominated as their candidate for Attorney
General of the State Of New York, Lyman Ire
maine, gentleman whose character for straight
forward, plain spoken honesty has never been
called in question. 1t amazed many of his
friends to see Mr.. Tremaine in such company.
He has come out, however, now, and denounced
the whole concern as unworthy of confidence.
He assigns as one Of his reasons for declining
the nomination that "on this single war question
his views are not in harmony with theirs?" In
other words, he has been impelled to disclaim
their association and withdraw his name from
the Cagger & Co. ticket, because of the disloyal-
ty Of their views. What a comment upon the
specious pretext, upon which the State convoca-
ton Of rotten hearted democratic wirepullers,
excluded certain delegates from this city, after
having first accepted them because they were not
sufficiently sure of their loyalty.

CHEERING News FROM THE POroMAC TO
TIE MIssIssIPPI-Within the last two days
we have had whole budget of cheering
achievements in behalf of the Union cause
The reconnaissance under the direction Of Gen
Mcclellan, from our lines in front of Wash
ington of the intervening country to Lewins-
vile, was a good thing and handsomely &C
complished; the dressing administered to the
great robber traitor Floyd in Western Virginia
by Gen. Rosecrans was a neat operation; the
bold, unequivocal and fearless Union front as
sumed by the loyal Legislature of loyal Ken
lucky is worth an army of fifty thousand men;
the rout of those rebel gunboats on the Missis-
sippi below Cairo was dasbing affair, and the
way in which Fremont and his military as
sociatc officers and their forces are work
ing up the rebels in Missouri ia alto
gcthcr encouraging. In fact, from the Poto-
mac to the Mississippi and the Missouri
rivers, the good cause goes bravcly on.
The only hope of the rebels now is in their
army of the Potomac, and from that we have
every reason to hope the means, the power and
the prestige of victory have departed. Let all
concerned, federal and State authorities, put
forward their energies now to strengthen Nc
Clellan in every way, and we shall have the
day dawn Of glorious peace.

DEFEAl'-Ihe review of the Pennsylvania troops

The improved organization and spirit of our
army Their appearance and discipline were
such as to call forth the warmcst euloeiums
from old army officers, who could not help ex-
pressing their surprise at the progress that had
been made by the new regiments in so short
time. The feelings of qualification created by
the spectacle were enhanced by the enthusiasm
and ardor manifested by the men. The pre-
sence of General Mcclellan, whenever nc APP
preached them, seemed to exercise sort of
magnetic influence over them. The unbouHded
confidence which his strictness as discipline
rian and his attention to the wants and comforts
OF the soldier have gained for him, has in
spired feeling of devotion towards his person
which only great leaders know how to win
Through the ranks he is spoken of only by his
Christian name-among American soldiers a
proof of affection almost as great as that which
obtained for Napoleon the title of "the Little
Corporal" The affair at Townsville put to the
test the improved spirit and discipline that was
noticed on this occasion. No veteran troops
could have exhibited greater eagerness to be led
against the enemy, or behaved more steadily
under fire. All this justifes the confidence of
General Mcclellan when he promises the coun-
try that "there shall be no more Bull run af-

forcement, is certain to provoke strong opposi-
ton in England and may not unlikely lead to a
change Of administration. The significance Of
the act OF sending such large body of troops
TO swell the already unusually large military
1orce in Canada, is increas by simultaneous
change in the Governorship of the colony. Sir
Edmund Head is to be superseded by Lord
Monck, an Irish peer, who will doubtless act
upon special instructions and be The willing in
strument of tho present ministry.
1t will be fortunate for England if the absence
of so large portion of her naval and military
strength in these waters does not open a conve-
nient opportunity for Louis Napoleon to carry
into execution some of his favorte European pro-
jects, of which the annexation of the island of
Sardinia is among the least. And II will be
well, in any case, for her to profit by our warn
ing advice, that breaking the blockade main
tanned by the United States government would
BIO the prelude to the most disastrous chapter in
her history. Her shipping would be swept
from the seas; ten millions Of her people-the
number dependent upon the American trade
would be reduced to destitution; starvation and
riot would reign in Lancashire, and the very
throne itself, undermined by the Puritan party,
would be imperilled. Meanwhile the United
States, fighting in good cause and with vastly
superior resources to those of England, would
be comparatively little affected and at length
emerge victorious. Bnt for the sake of human
ity and civilization, it is to be hoped, however
ominous may be the signs of the times that
such war will never darken the century in
which we live.

ENGLISH NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENTS EXPOS
ING EACH OTHERS TRICKs.--In his last letter.
Russell, of the London Times, charges the re
preventative in this country of another English
Journal with publishing first in one of cur local
newspapers the letters which he sends home
We do not see the great difference between
this proceeding and the fact recently established
against Russell, of his sending down for conf
dental circulation among the leading seces-
sonsts at Charleston the manuscripts Of his
letters to the London Times, detailing his obscr-
vations in the federal camps and decrying and
ridiculing the efforts of the North to defend the
integrity of the republic. The writer who gives
both sides the simultaneous benefit of his in
formation and criticisms is, we should say, the
more honest man of the two.
