JEFFERSON CRY, Dec l6-Gentlemen who left
Henry county Sunday say Clinton, the county
seat OF that county, in the possession OF from
six to eight hundred rebels, most of whom were
from Prices camp at 0sceoa, and the balance
recruits from the northwestern counties. They
were prosecuting Union men and plurdering pri-
vate property. s
These informants also say that late Sunday
evening they met the advance guard of General
Popes division three miles from Clinton They
think the rebels were entirely ignorant of the ap-
proach of our troops, and express the belief that
they have been surprised and cut of.
Osceola is about twenty five miles south Of
Clinton, and if our informants' statements be
correct, very rapid advance of General Pope
and Steele's divisions has doubtless been made
upon Prices headquarters.
Advices from Lexington are to the effect that
since Gen. Prentiss threw a few shells into that
town the rebels have been very severe upon Union
men, searching and plunderiug their houses and
threatening to burn them

The Trent AFFAIR in England.

-
The news from England certainly looks bellig
erent, and it caused intense excitement in our
city. If it proves true that the British Govern
ment have sent instructions to Lord Lyons to de
mand from our Government the restoration of
Messrs SLIDELL and Mason, and in case of re-
fusaI to withdraw the English legation from
Washington, il will seriously complicate our ma
tional difficulties. IL is evident that France and
England will act together in whatever interview
ton may be determined upon in American affairs
If these Governments desire pretext for hostil-
tiles it is furnished in the arrest of the Southern
Confederates upon British deck, and il will in
that case be made use Of The circular of Mr..
SEWARD to tee Governors of the Northern States
upon the sea coast and the Canada borders urg-
ing the necessity of providing desences; the ex-
tensive military preparations in Canada and the
belgerent feeling of her people, together with
the great interest that both France and England
have in the opening of the Southern ports and an
approximate free trade with the States forming
the Southern Confederacy, and the suffering
condition Of the cotton operatives in both those
nations. are indications that We shall be embroil
ell in foreign as well as domestic war We
take this view Of the case upon the presumption
that Government will refuse to comply with
the demand of England for the restoration of
Mason and SLrDELL as reparation for the
alleged insult to the British flag. We can not
anticipate. however, the action of the National
Administration in this new crisis in our public
affairs. The Republican leaders have boldly and
de6antly justified the act of Captain WILKES, and
it is now to be seen, if the issue is presented,
whether they viii quail under the growI of the
British lion. The House Of Representative were
unwilling yesterday to entertain a resolution
offered by Mr. VALLASDrGHAM pledgng its sup.
port TO the President in refusing the anticipated
demand Of the English Government for the re-
turn of the rebels taken from the Trent, although
in various ways the Administration and the House
had indirectly justified the acts ofthe Commander
of the San Jacinto. If England should demand
reparation the passage of the resolution by the
House would have compromised the Administers
ton and left it no alternative We can o1Iy
hope that those at the head of the Government
may be equal to the emergency and that they
will maintain the honor Of the nation at whatever
sacrifice. Il is almost useless to speculate upon
the course that the British Government will take,
when in few days we shall have it in an official
and unmistakable form, but as now advised it APP
pears that SLiDELL and Mason imprisoned at Fort
Warren are more effective Commissioners for the
Southern Confederacy than their diplomacy could
have accomplished with the Governments TO

1t is a singular fact that the English Abolition
papers sympathize with tie Southern Confeder-
ates in the American civil war. On the other
hand, papers which never favored Abolition
schemes are strongly in favor of sustaining the
Federal Government A common purpose seems
to have stimulated the efforts of Abolitionists on
both sides of the Atlantic-the abolition of
slavery or the destruction of the American
Union. And the latter object. apparently, is of
higher consideration with them than any sincere
desire to benefit the blacks. The Chicago Times,
in commenting upon this topic, says if evil
dence was before wanting that the grand pur-
pose of British Abotionsm during the past
thirty years has been the disruption of the
American Union, we have it in the comments of
the English Abolition press. From the begin
ming Of the war, instead of having been party
in England on the side of the North, it has been
a party on the side of the South; aud now, see
ing as it thinks. opportunity to deal the North
and the Union fatal blow, aud establish South
ern slavehoding Confederacy. and perhaps half
dozen other confederacies on this continent, it is
perfectly furious to strike that blow. Not one
lot has so long excited all its anguish. Not one
ear has it for its old conductors this side of the
water, who only differ with it in that they seek to
destroy the Union by the destruction and not by
the exaltation of slavery. Not one fond recol-
lection has it OF Uncle Toms Cabin, whose dusky
hero is set sp for an idol and whose author it took
to the bosom of its proudest aristocracy. On the
n
act the most humilarng apologies and the
render of MASON and SLIDELL from the United
States, and in defanlt thereof to declare war
against US, establish blockade of ports and
raise our blockade of the South. thus opening the
markets of all the world to the products of slave
labor and closing them the products of the free
labor of the North.
This is British Abolitionism This is the
power in Great Britain out of which. thirty years
ago, grew American Abolitonism, and but for
whose money and whose emissaries American
AbOlitionism would have died the year it was
born. willing nstrumentality has been Amer
lean Abolitionism in the hands of this power. 1t
has been under its teachings that American Abo-
Iitionism has pronounced the Constitution +" a
league with hell and a covenant with DEATH"
Indeed George Thompson, and not VIM. Lloyd
Garrison, the founder of Abolitonism on
this continent, and George Thompson was paid
missionary Of British Abolitionism.
If, few months hence, the American Union
shall lie drifting wreck upon the great ocean of
time the British Abolisionist may point exult-
ingly to it and exclaim to his transatlantic broth

H0USE-Mr. Davis, from the Committee on
Elections, reported that Charles H. Foster is not
entitled to a seat in this Congress, either from
the West or Second Congressional District Of
North Carolina.
Mr.. Davis said the Committee had pursued the
investigation so far as to be satisfied that the
claim was founded on imposition, and so well
assured of this fact was Mr.. Foster himself that
he had voluntarily abandoned the claim.
The resolution was adopted
The House then resumed the consideration of
the bill to secure homesteads to actual settlers

the age of twenty-one years, and are citizens of

who have performed service in suppressng the

thirty dollars in addition tn the right of the

A long debate ensued on the bill; also, on the
amendments proposed.
Farther consideration of the bill was postponed
till the first Monday in February, by l6S against
50.
The bill appropriating 81 100000 for gunboats
on Western waters was passed.
The House then went into Committee of the
Whole
The bill for the payment of invalid and other
pensions was taken up.
Mr.. Steele, of New Jersey, offered resolu-
ton, which was adopted, that the select commit
tee OF inquiry on contract abuses be requested to
inquire as to the policy of abolshing sutlerships
and regulating the system in accordance with the
requirements and protection of the soldiers.
Mr.. Cofax called attention to communica-
ton from the Postoffice Department, stating that
it has been ascertained that members of Congress
frequently give envelopes TO cover matter
known to them, that franked envelopes without
addresses are being circulated among the camps
and sold by sutlers at from one to two cents EACH
that fsanked envelopes are sent to merchants in
various parts of the country to cover their own
correspondence in return, and that franks of mem
bers of Congress are forged.
Mr. Colfax hoped that the simple statement of
facts would correct the gross abuses without fur
ther legislation. Adjourned.
