In his last days he gave those who sto d
near TO minister to his wants the most con.
vinclng assurances OF the depth and earnest
ness OF the lively love Of country that filled
his heart. In his waking hours, as well as in
those moments when the violence of Ills dis.
ease unseaied his great intellect, he was busy
with national events and the conflict that is
now upon IFS. 1t was his last wish that
the work which will regenerate the country
while rescuing it from his ent mics should
go rapidly on. To one, in wandering mo-

which nature had fitted him, and which would
have been bestowed had he lived, he seemed
to direct events and dictate victory. And
when the lucid intervals came, he was if not
so emphatic, not less sincere. The salvation
OF the republic was uppermost in his thoughts
by day and by night. His own condition, the
imminent peril OF death, Ills complicated at
fairs gave him no concern. Almost his last
coherent words were an ardent wish for the
honor and prosperity of the republic by the
defeat and dispersion Of her enemies

THE BRITISH PRESS.

The report is that the tone of the English
press, on American affairs, "has improved"
1t may be a little less confident, and in some
cases a little more changeable and uncertain.
The London Post, Lord Palmerston's organ,
has fallen into habit of talking, on both sides
of the question, with an occasional flutter of
nervous anxiety in regard to what France will
do. On the Dist day of May, the London
Post made a very excellent statement Of the
case of our southern rebels, declaring that
"slavery is both the cause and the principle"
of their revolt; and that journal, on that day,
said very earnestly that the debates in parlia-
ment should not hold this question of slavery
OF less consequence than commercial advan-
tageS. But, the next day, the same journal
took in hand Mr.. Seward and his instructions
conceit, selfshness, and commercial causdera
tiOns, favored the cause of this conspiracy of
the slave power, and said ''no one at the pres
ent time can doubt or question the de tacto
independence of the southern states" 1t is
percephble, however, that the writer of this

could not get through the article without I'M

not do.

We print a very significant extract from the
London Herald, which speaks by authority
for the Derbyites or conservatives. his
journal intimates that it will become necessary
for the English government to draw back from
the position it has taken in order to act in har
mOny with France. 1t says that Louis Napo-
leon is strongly opposed to dissolution of the
American Union, and that he will favor those
who struggle to maintain it. Then it adds
these words ave do not believe it will con-
duce to the welfare of Great Britain for the
two powers to be at issue on this American
question" The blind haste of the British
government is likely to prove as unfortunate
to itself as it is insulting to the United States.

the world that Louis Napoleon has sover.

The NEWS.

The impotence to hear news OF battles,
mastery marches and maneuvers, or some
other great movements calculated to decide this
controversy, is general but it must restrain
itself and wait as calmly as possible for events
We cannot hasten them, and matters would be
likely TO go wildly wrong if our impotence
should be allowed to take command OF the
army. The long headed, diligent, and never
failing strategist who commands the loyal
troops is much better leader Conhde in

interesting items OF news. There has been

selves for this conflict, for several years /;
but the government has not yet had two
months for preparation; and yet what a force
we have in the field, and with what rapidity
has the war been prepared, on our side The

The SIXTH REGIMENT.-The Boston Post

you must npt be surprised to see the Sixth
Massachusetts Regiment in Boston in the

the camp which leads me 10 give you warning
of such an ev ent, although nothing definite is
ascertaned. Col, Jones recently remarked
that no more equipments would be furnished,
as his command had been ordered to report

seems to be making arran. ements for our de-
parture for some place, at any rate but it may
possibly be in another direction. The officers
and soldiers of the Sixth are eager for the

REBEL CAsTLE-BUILDING.

The activity of military movement IN the
Old Dominion has manifestly increased since
jeff Davis arrived with his portable govern.
ment from Montgomery. 1t would bStolly to
presume that the vast preparations OF the re-
bells and the desperate nature of their cause
in which they must do or die-have not in
some places been followed with formidable re-
suits. The sound of the wheels of jeff Da
Wis chariotjn Richmond has moreover, exclt'
ed passing exhiliraton in that section,
which occasionally breaks out in spite OF the
forced reticence of its Journals in respect to
military movements. Thus the Richmond
Despatch, which sees great results with con
venient and iar-looking eyes. contempiates the
speedy closing OF Virginia against the army
OF the Union, and then-."while the south is
closed, the north is very open to invasion, and
it the war last year, 1t will be waged upon
northern soul" Happy for tie country-yes,
happy for Virginia herself, it is a wild dream.
