Mr.. RUSSELL ON THE WAR SENTIMENT
IN THE NORTH.-The latest letter of Mr..
Russell to the London Times, received in
this country, is dated Washington, July
oth. 1t treats Of the great change in
Northern sentiment since March Last. He
pertinently says tie the Northern people:
Had you always held this language,
good gentlemen, you might never have had
this present contest. You strengthened
the hands Of the secessionists, Just as you
weakened the hands of the United States
Government, by the Indifference or actual
hostility to its measures which you dis
played when it most required support
One half of the Indignation, one half the
strength you exhibited after Sumpter had
fallen, might have prevented its ever being
attacked.
In conclusion, he tells the English peo-
pie:
At present dismiss entirely from the
mind of England, the idea, no matter how
II may originate, that there will, or can be
peace, compromise, union, or secession till
war has determined the issues

The London Standard on Rebellion

The London Standard on Rebellion.
If the Standard, of London, represents
fairly the views of the religious-portion Of
the people-as we suppose it does-the
rebels who are in arms need expect but
little aid or sympathy from that quarter
1t remarks:
Great light has been thrown on the
subject of Southern character by the last
letter of DR., Russell to the Times. The
portrait he draws of Southern society is
absolutely horrible There is in it putres-
cenco enough to diffuse plague and pestil-
ence throughout the New World
For our own part. we do think the less
the civilized world has to do with the eecess-
ion States the better We can scarcely
conceive Of any class of mankind, no mat
ter by what means collected, in whom we
should place less confidence. 1t puts US
strongly in mind Of the fraternity of robbers
ard their leader, Signor Roland, who VII
lainously boasted, in rehearsing his terrible
career, that God had given him grace to
grow old in his profession, in spite of the
dangers TO which it was exposed !" The
God Of the ruffians is the Devil It makes
the blood run cold to think of new King
dom founded in Slavery and ruled by such
SONS of perdition.

the windows and bayonetted others we're

by feigning death, and scarcely caring to
breathe. They afterwari fred the build

afterward they retired, and l made good
my escape to Washington"

The Palmers fred four shots, w3undinp

UNSUCCESSFUL Ate PTS TO PHoToGR4pu
THE New CoMEr-An English scientific
journal says:
"Many attempts have been made to OBJ
tain photographs of the new comet, but so
far as we have been able to learn. they
have without exception failed. An expos
ure of the sensitive plate to its luminous
image in telescope for 100 times as long
as snfficed to depict the comet of 1858,
entirely failed with the present one in Civ
ing any trace of an image. thus proving
that there is an essential difference be-
tween the two bodies in physical constitu-
ton, inasmuch as whilst the luminous rays
emptied by them were of almost equal
intensities, the actinic rays were almost
entirely absent in thezlight from the present
comet"
