Moral Uses Of the War.

Political bodies, somewhere observes Jear
Paul Richter, unlike great river, which
when turbulent and swift, is full Of impu
rites that are dropped to the bottom wher
it flows more calmly, in periods of prosper
ous quiet are choked with foul ingredients
of which they are purged in times Of great
public trial and agitation. This observa
ton, profound and pregnant as it undoubt
edly is, must be accepted with certain al.
lowance for exceptions The effect of gen,
eral excitement and peril upon people will
take its complexion from their moral educa
ton, their Intellectual characteristics, and
their social condition. If there are in these
predominant elements Of virtue, health and
power, however latent or indetermipate
those elements may be during peaceful
prosperity, they will be sure to manifest
themselves triumphautly amid the bardships
and distresses, the present dangers and the
awful portents of war 80 fierce, aud wide,
and conVulsive as the present. And it is
the glory of the South-Southerp men and
Southern women-~that they are the subject
of this manifestation. Their sublime NOR.
al attitude is itself victory. They are
moved by one hope, one purpose, one aspi-
ration. Such people may be auuihilased
they can never be subdued. If here and
there sordid motives, mean desires, desper.
ate vices, bubble to the surface of the uni.
7ersal activity, it is ouly to set of the pu.
rity aud beauty Of the general patriotism
by the effect of antitheais. They do not
polute, they rather serve to reveal
Some persons arm themselves for the
ordeal Of adversely with philosophy, and
others with religion. In the present trial
the men and women of the South olothe
themselves 10 the victorious armor Of pat
rlotisn which is ope with philosophy and
religion, beauty and utility, love and duty,
political independence and moral and in,
tellectual liberation.
For meaner natures there ia still another
resort in times Of tumult, danger and
afHictiou. These, to quote the idea of the
German author before cited, initiate the
stricken buffalo, which wallows in the mire
to cool and staunch his wounds. If their
malignant designs upon others recoil upon
themselves, they seek relief in more des-
perate malignity. Their bafaed baseness
plunges for consolation into lower baseness.

The British Consul's account Of the
Capture Of Mason and Siidell.

The British Consul's account of the
Capture Of Mason and slidell.:
From the New York Herald's Havans
correspondence, dated November 20, VIZ
take the following:
The news by the English steamer, which
arrived here this morning from St. Thomas
has thrown the whole city into a state o.
great excitement. .-=.
By this time of course the news of the
capture of Messrs. Mason and Slide!l, with
their secretaries, is old, but we have hearc
nothing of it until this morning. The
British Consul was kind enough to read me
the official dispatch he received in relation
to the affair from the officer 10 charge o
the mails on board the Trent. That gen.
tleman's version Of the affair is, briefly,
that the steamer Trent left Havana on the
7th ult. On the following day a steamer
was observed nearing them, which present
ly fred round shot across the bows of the
Trent, whereupon the latter hoisted her aas
aud continued on her way !; shortly after.
wards shell exploded at about half Ca
ble's length from her, upon which she hove
to. The stranger showed no asg until g.
bout the time the shell was fred, and it
vas then discovered that she Was an A.
merican ....... ..-.s ...
Presently an armed party of marines un.
der command of lieutenant came along
side the Trent, aud the officers, on boarding
her, demanded list OF her passengers,
which the captain refused. The former
then stated that he had positive knowledge
that Messrs. Mason aud Slidell, with their
secretaries, Messrs. Eustis and Macfarland
we're on board; that he had orders to ar.
rest them, and if necessary, use force. The
party Immediately surrendered themselves,
under protest, the captain joining in the
protest. The federal officer wanted to take
the captain Of the Trent, but for SOME rea.
SON or other refraiued, and both steamers
went their respective ways. The whole af.
fair occupied but few minutes, aud 90
CURED at about three o'clock 10 the after.
noon.
Southernes, Southern sympathizers and
Eoglishmeu are apparently rejoiced at the
event. The former because it may bring
about an immediate war with Great Britain,
which will relieve the blockade Of Southern
ports, and the latter because they hope
"the Yankees will be made to pay for their
insolenoe.
