ENGLAND AND FRANCE.

Views Of an Intelligent American.
The intelligent correspondent of the Bos.
ton Post writes from London, August goth,
thus:
England is not with US in this struggle.
The truth will break upon you one of these
days, that neither in her government nor
her people, neither in the mercantile or La

arstocratic or professional classes, is Eng.

ed England to be "nation of shop keep

oughly selfish. You have the key to this
in her present feeling towards the United
States. II no avenue is opened before the

The English people, and the Government,

Calico printin

No description of machinery at the

ting than that for calico printing. As it
leaves the power loom, calico is fabric

course. very limited 1t is unfit for out

for any purpose for which an ornament

hairy flaments require TO be removed,
and the fabric must be made Of snowy

removed in the same manner as those OF

male Travis but the tenth, a young
merchant, courageously Y determined tc

New Theory Respecting the Earth.

The Hon. III. w. Taylor, of Canandai-
qua, n, Y, in lecture delivered it Pat
erson, n. j., last week, as reported in
the Paterson Guardian, controverted the
commonly received opinion that the
earth is an oblate spherold, and holds
that instead of being flat near the poles,
there is a hollow depression-quoting in
support of this opinion, recent geograph-
ical discoveries. Extending 1000 miles
across the poles is warm sea whose ex-
iStence would be incompatible with the
received theory.
The rays of the sun, in summer, strik-
ing inside the cavity which has the icy
circle for rim, generates vast amount
of heat, which, in connection with the
increased warmth resulting from a near
er approach to the earlhs centre, be-
comes adequate to the production of the
tropical phenomenon which, found on the
edge Of the Polar Sea, have hitherto
proved enigmatical.
The northern regions abound with re-
mains of tropical plants and animals, and
in the most northern parts of Siberia !;
around the Polar Sea, embedded in the
soil that is washed by this unknown
tropical ocean, are remains of the rhinoc-
eros, hippopotamus, and elephants, the
latter, it is said, exceeding in number
all the animals now living in the world.
Mr.. Taylor cited the opinion of Sir John
Hershel, showing that such depression
at the nolas wOuld be the necessary rn-
suit of a globe of liquid set in motion
with the velocity of the earth around its
own axis.

matter that has to be cared for. The
various movements in all parts Of the
country are, to certain extent, depend
ent on one another, and they must be
made to harmonic. A hasty and rash
step at any one point may defeat the
whole plan.
The materials with which Gen. Scott
has to operate are nearly all raw recruits,
and these must be brought to some de-
gree of discipline before they can be
charged with any important service.
Seventy five thousand men are doubtless
enlisted, but they were only called for
eleven days ago, and they are dispersed
at remote points, besides being only half
organized. Then the vital matter of fur
nlshing this army with equipments and
arms, is to be thoroughly attended to.
But the most important of all is the pro-
visioning of such force, and the adopt
ing of such measures as will make it sure
that the army will not be in advance of
its supplies. These things do not cause
any concern to the war editors, who
want Baltimore razed and Virginia inva-
ded instantaneously. But General Scott
knows that they must be attended to be-
fore blow is struck. 1t may take sew
eral weeks to get things in such shape
as to enable him to move with the conf :
dence that has always distinguished his
past movements. But it is better to wait
that long, for the sake of making sue
cess certain, than to spoil everything by
striking hasty and ill-consldered
blow.
The details of General Scotts plan Of
campaign will not be announced, but
they will gradually disclose themselves,
and we have entire faith that they will
prove to have been wisely determined on.

Baltimore, the Mississippi and Ohio val

conflict but in what precise way, no one
knows, except the great General who di-
reefs the campaign, and those whose du-

seeking some sort of sensational notorie

which are very properly withheld from
their knowledge.
