TIE TRENT AFFAIR.

communication to the Secretary Of State, who
a. once set about the preparation of reply.
The contents of tie dispatches are known to
no one, except these two, the President and
probably Gen. Mcclellan. But the general
opiuon among outsiders near the official bar
risr that guards the inner circle Of diplomacy
is that they do not present an ultmatum, but
leave room for negotiation, as We have hereto
fore intimatel AS regards the statement that
fine Cabinet is determined TO yield to England,
even 10 the point Of surrenderug Mason and
e'jaeu. rather than feht her, which Tie Her
aid Of Saturday makes broadly and in double
lead. ard Tie Times insinuates, il is utterly and
miscbieyoasIy false.
The truth is that, as we have excellent
authority for saying there is no principle laid
down or minated in any standard work on
international Law, by which nation can be
required to give up its own property or citl-
zens, no matter how the last possession was
acquired. to another nation. Ii man jump
over his ncghbor's fence TO recover his hat, he
may apologize and make reparation for Injury
done to fence or grounds but can hardly be
expected to return the hat. Great Britain not
having yet recognized the JEFF. Davis Govern
ment. cannot consider it's emissaries as other
than our citizens.
Plain as this point i,, it has not been taken,
so far as noticed, in the numerous newspaper
discussions Of the subject. 1t has, however,
been brought TO the attention Of the Secretary
Of State
TROUBLE IN THE REBEL CAMP
a Richmond correspondent OF The NaShrH!o
Union ard Aacnic0R learns fron an authentic
source, THAT President Davis has under con-
sidcra.ion matter which would, in all proba-
bility, result in the resignation of Gen. Wise
and all tie officers in his Legion, in which
event Obadiah Jennings Wise, bis son, would
resume lis r,st as editor Of TIE Enquirer, and
oppose tie Administration with all bis power.
This would bs a most unfortunate circumstance
at this idncture when single turn of the
wheel may bring endless disaster to the South.
DISSIPATION OF THE KENTUCKY REBELS.
The Bowling Green correspondent of TIL.
NaSLriHe Union says: - Gen. Marshall has
issued a proclamation to The citizens Of Keu-
tgcky, in which he states that the Home Guard
Of the different counties must join him or fight
him. as they VIII not be eft in his rear. The
whole country is awakening, aud numbers are
daily docking to the standard Of Gems. Mar
shall and ZollicOfer. 1t is their design t.
advance upon Lexington and Frankfort, to
capture the Union Legislature and TO carry
Tie war iato the enemy's country. The Con
cordia Cavalry of Louisville arrived here yes.
tcrday, and have gone into camp. They bore
9 black dag, the appearance of which was the ,
occasion for excited shouts from Kentucky 7
troops, all OF whom would willingly 20 into
battle under the same colors."
TIE STEAM sLooP PENSACOLA.
The steam sloop Pensacola made her first
trial trip yesterday to Indian Head. Her
machinery worked WELL much better than was
anticipated Dir. Sickles, who built the engine
n year ago in the Washington Navy Yard, but
was so long in getting it into working order
that the Department lost patience and confined
him on board, is still shut up and will ROMAN
there until the vessel gets to sea.

The review Of Gen. Fitz John Porters

visitors from Washington. The day was fine
aud the troops embracing the brigades OF
Gene ButierGeld, Martindae and Morell were
IN excellent condition. Gen. Mcclellan spent
the previous night at Gen. Porter's camp. and
remained to witness the sham battle after the

uniforms were much admired and the march
