AN ENGLISH PROPHECY OF DEsoLAriNd CIVIL
WAR.
from the London Times Oct. 16.
When the great schism IN the American republic was
first announced Of our most liberal politicians re.
marked in Parliament that 50 free and intelligent peo-
pie citizens Of tho Union might be expected
to settle their differences and discard the unnat ra
btrament Of the sword. Never prediction
ignay fasifed by events. Although the dead lock OF
The main armies the Potomac has given ample oppor-
unity for negotiation the spri. has shown tho
least symptom OF subsistence. There appears, indeed,
peace party in America but is utterly insig-
nhcan. that should never have been aware of its
stcnce except the erocous nvccvcs with which its
supposed doctrines are occasionally assailed Parties
are undoubtedly beginning to show themselves in the
North and probably as in the SOUTH but the sentence
of all alike IL for open war. Whether, in short,
gard the position OF affairs from political or from
military point of view, the result is the same. We
discern prospect of peace the sequel either of vc
tory compromise and the longer tho is protraccd

When we examine the questions which have set North
and South at variance discover nothing 10 pro.
mise ofoctua solution OF tho difficulty. There is
thought OF slavery among tho Southerners than among
their advcrsarcs. Tho people Of the North with the
ccpson Of small party, confined mostly to tho New Eng
land States quite content lcave the Shareholders
Alone but tho people OF the South really anxious
their property, and arc actuated no doubt to great
extent by this motive in taking up arms. STILL the
we the certain does appear that even II
the slavery question could be adjusted the South would
be sundered from the North in feeling and policy com
peey AS ever Take for instance tho Stale OF Maryland

very little Partially for slavery. If the shareholders
saw their way 10 such contamination, they would
gladly rid OF their living chates and yet Maryland
is az hostile the North in sentiment and temper as
South Carolina itself. II really II the social
equality enforced in America had produced its fruit
deep political antagonism. In every quarter, and in
every report find OF violent collision between
class and class Men ready to adopt the DIES
pcrate alternative Of nationality rather than acecp;
the government or the fraternity or those whom they
consider their interiors. Tho federal government Is
spoken Of as representing class whose ascendency no
gentleman could accept II is remarkable to observe the
prominence which this strange feeling Is assuming. Wo
might fancy reading the history Of BOurbonisrn
in La yendee, Jacobtsm in England The descripo ion
given OF the saloons in Washington is like that of tho
saloons in the Faubourg St. German The ladies' all
the side OF the Conederatcs. and, if General Bo,rc
gard should succeed in entering Washington Bal.

sal acclamatons.
This, however. except symptom Of the national
discord is not very important matter. II tho Union

his usual talent TO combat the notion which IL generally
