This morning some prisoners were sent back to
Cairo, as an equivalent to those of our boys who
had the misfortune to fall into Yankee hands
some weeks since at Belmont, and your CORES
pendent was among the few privileged to go along.
After several hours pleasantly spent in skimming

our course, and stop we did, until Federal boat

We understand that these tugs are to be convert.
ed from mere tenders to the gun boats into what
we think will be the most efficient and useful por-

guns, one forward and one aft, mounted on pivots,

What the Merchants Say About a wal
with England

From the New York Commercial.
Our merchants must have peIused the intelli-
gence from Englsnd this morning with considerable
establishment. From an early hour in the day
their visits to each others counting rooms have
been frequent, and the temper of their arguments
and conversations earnest. They are perhaps more
directly affected by this news than any ether class
of our citizens for they will most suffer from the
loss of business should there be war. Still, there
appears to be but one sentiment among them,
namely, that the Government of the United States
shall preserve calm and dignfied tone in regard
to this matter and not yield to any demand breath
ed In spirit of hostility.
A war with Englaud at the present crisis would
they think be calamity at least as serious as was
our rupture of 1872, but the honor of our flag is
paramount to all other considerations, and England
though strong. must not attempt to crush Us be-
cause we are just now not well prepared 70 cope
with her. Many gentlemen hold to the opinion
that the demands Of England are not so stern as the
English papers represent. and that diplomatic
correspondence viii speedily arrange the difficulty
satisfactorily.
If the E1glish Government demand an apology
for not conducting the seizure Of the traitors
IN accordance with law-by taking the Trent into
a neutral port for s6judic atjOn-mlny gentlemen
are Of opinion that It should be given, but that the
men must not be given up.
Not a few of cur merchants l10k upon this
menace as mere bombas5 On the part of England
and think that with firm and determined course
on the part Of the Administration at Washington
England win modify her uldmatum. But whats
ever the result of negatiaOGs may be- this co untry
should be ready FOR any emergency.

Estimates had been published to show the great

take place. In this connection it is interesting to
exhibit the strength Of her fleets in the waters of
