liver the mail on the Missouri side,
they jumped ashore and took to the

The General does all the thinking for

would think so too, and follow him
without hesitation, to accomplish the
feat.

If I remember, Mr.. Seward, in his

There is no scruple here about such a
recognition. It would not be consid-

mere question of time andpolicy. But
such a recognition would be OF no
use in opening the cotton ports, un~
less followed by breaking of the

A I0u"S Hero.-The papers OF

1T is an almost universal feeling of

at the war. Every thing was going

three-fourths Of the people here have
more sympathy with the South than
with the North. Why, it is hard
to tell. Perhaps it is generous

Free trade and cotton may have their
share in it, The fact is unnistakablc.
And theyc is strong and increasing
demand for some actien on the part
OF the Government which will opruI
the Southern pn~ts or end the war.
The papers with a few exceptions,
declare that England is,so pledged to
non-intervtntion that it cannot be
done. England is too moral-too
taw-ahiding. But they have great
hopes of their "noble ally" the EN-

almost exclusively to our National difficult
ties. lie says, 1.-THE Inaugural Address
at the beginning Of my Administration,
and the Message to Congress at the late
special session, were both mainly devoted
TO the domestic controversy, out Of which
the instruction and consequent war have
sprung. Nothing now occurs to add to or
subtract from the principles or general
purposes stated and expressed in those
documents" As our readers have read
them it is useless to repeat what the
purposes" Of the Administration arc
with regard to the war. The Message is
milder than We anticipated, but not so
frank. Part Of it is singularly obscure.
II will doubtless give satisfaction to the
friends Of the Administration, and except
on the ContrabAnd question, excite but
little comment.

it produces no proof nor can it to sustain
