LORD DERBY'sS OPINION OF THE EFFECT
.oFTHE BATTLE,
This blow will compel the Federal Govern
mentto postpone active operations for a, time
and thus weShope viii allow the feeling in fa-
fvor Of an arrangement: which. in spite of the
reciprocal buster, reallyexfsts to diffuse itself
generally. What shouldsbe the nature of the
settlement is not for us to say-whether the
recognition of Southern independence, or the
return of the seeded States to the Union. un-
der satisfactory guarantees. The American
press, IN the midst Of these misfortunes, still
hnds t'me.to accuse Englnad Of taking mali,
gnant delghtsin their difficulties IF we did,
we should DO our>best to. encourage that war
foufrd''cc which they themselves preach. If
'Englishmen desired the destruction of Ameri-:
npower, they would do their best to egg on
the North IN its revengeful fury.
[London Herald, Derby organ. z
The Daily Ne,cs says: '"The defeat of the
North shuts the door to compromise or to aca
| quescence in any terms tho South can offer.
The Union is bound to conquer now. Tho
spirit Of New England and the Northw est will
| rise to the occasion ;s and we of the old race,
tried and strengthened by many reverses, shall
not be surprised if our kinsmen never rest un-
til they have turned defeat into victory"
The Daily Telegraph says: THE battle Of
Bull Run was battle which, if second to
| Magenta or to Solferiuo in actual: slaughter,
was marred by more envenomed hostility.
TIE dominant feeling in England on this un-
| happy quarrel is one of unfeigned and bitter
sorrow If Americans labor for one moment
! under the impression that the successes or re-
verses oftone or the other section Of the comba.
tants will awaken anything like partisan feel
ing in this country, they arc most grieyousy

The TREASURY NoTEs.-The Charleston 1fcr.
cmry OF Saturday, says: -
we learn that the treasury notes of the Con
federote States, to large amount were re-
ceived in this city few days ago, with, a view
of putting them into immediate circulation.
Tho notes are of the denomination Of SIS, $40,
$50, and 500. The mechanical execution of
the notes, however, was found l. be so inI iffer.
| ent that our experienced bank officers at onc cs
| decided that to circulate them would be to of.
fer chance to the, clever forgers of Yankee
! dom, of which they would not be slow to avail
themselves. After some consultation, il was
determined that it would be best that our city
banks should receive the notes and retai in them
in their vaults until they can be exchanged fer
notes less liable to imitation, and more worthy
| tn dignity Of the Southern Goyernmept. In
| the meantime, tosprevent any embarrassment
the banks will, We understand, issne their own
notes to the amount required. We hnve not
| seen any of the Questionable specimens of the
treasury notes, but We hear that they are merely
Autographed, and %in design ard finish pre-
sent few Obstacles in the way of any sklful
forger. We believe that the views of our
Charleston bank officers OH this subject are
