TIE LONDON TINEs.-This sheet, true to
its instincts, or more properly its ont stiaks,
has turned its back on rebeldom, under a
suasive influence of 4 fear of want for bread.

1t certainly does not become the Powers of
Europe to fasten upon the existence of civil
war in America as proof of any extraordi-

RErALIArIoN.-Th rebels say that if the
Federal Government hangs any of the despi-
cable wretches caught pirating under their
rattlesnake flag, that they will retaliate by
hanging such Federal prisoners as they may
happen to have. We are not of those who
profess to believe that they will. not carry
this threat into execution. They are as apt
as not to hang the Federal prisoners without
this or any other provocotion. Let the laws
of our country take their course, and the
consequences be with God. If they do butch
er the prisoners in their hands, the Presi.
dent, Cabinet and the loyal people will be-
gin to learn something more about this con-
test, than apparently they have ever known,
namely, that it is a war, in very fact and
deed, waged upon us by ruthless enemy.
