THE LONDON FINES,

Aformer correspondent Of tue London Times,
who wrote to that able newspaper from Italy.
the Tyrol, Hungary, Co., was pleased to see, in
year paper Of the llth, the manly structures of
a corporal In our army, upon the now notorious
course Of the correspondent Of the Loudon
7smAs. But II Is the Thundsrer itself, and not
the separate growls of the thunder, that wish
to dispose Of 1 shall, therefore, state some
facts, going to prove the dishonesty toaoards the
English people and ourselves Of this profssssd
maker Of English opinion. In general, this is
the policy Of that remarkable and most able
and wealthy newspaper. By its old establish.
ment, and its command Of great estate, (for the
Times itself is q mammoth estate the Times
al,odys discovers, first. which way ,he nations,
the people, aud the Times" are going. Il
then jumps into the boat, al,odys soith he rich or
aristocratic arsdm, and seizing the rudder, pro
fe'ses to lead, where, in reality, II does but

AMI is chiefly useful 70 show how the world
goes. ... naH. o.. - .r.p
It does not create, but only indicates, public
opinion In Euglsnd.
. The writer holds the love Of truth and of
country to be Of higher obligation than the mere
rules Of comm on etiquette, as toeprivate oonver-
sations. He therefore no longer hesitates to
show that, in It's present attempt to assist IN The
destruction of this Republic, as tie most dreaded
silent foe Of Tie Eaglish aristocrucy, and as the
great commercial rtual Of England the Times Is
not to be relied on for honesty Of purpose. The
writer would not, under less sacred Obligations,
make the following facts public. Being en-.
gagged as correspondent of the London Tnss,
in 1852, the principal editor (whoee name is
given you In prisae) and the writer held the f,l-
lowing conversation The American said, I" l nee
great deal In the Times on the subject of q
French invasion that is certainly mere
shadow" Upon which the editor and chief
director of that newspaper answered, In sub
stance, I'VE have no fears of . French inva-
sion > bat it is necessary to keep up the fsors
Of lhe English people, that they may more will
iDgly submit to the taxation necessary to main
taiu large war force. '.'..
Now, l ask II this confession Of dishonesty of
purpose could be made by the man who guides
the London Times, aud made, TO, 10 one who
was almost q stranger and quite an alien, what
Is to be thought OF the more secret morals of
that great aud influential and almost universal
newspaper .-
The most striking and lameptable feature In
the correspondent now among us 10 this: his
utter seyishness, bis regard to his own comfort
and purposes only, and the entire absence of
the least SIdrk OF noble or generous feeling In
the cause Of great nation of the same blood,
language, and almost laws, with his own coun.
try-a country which is our own venerated and
beloved motherland. Not one spark Of feeling.
Of generosity, Of sympathy, of noble elevation,
is to be found 10 all the darkness of his selfish
lucubrations.

Some of the students in Dickinson Col

iuto bad scrape. Various burglaries of
jewelry shops, stationery stores, DC, have
recently been committed in the town, and
for long time the efforts to arrest the
culprits were unsuccessful, but finally a

of a respectable citizen of Carlisle has
been arrested as an accomplice, and it is
probable that others will be implicated.

The Alarming Theory.

The sudden appearance of oil in such
immense quantities In these regions in
which it could not have existed but short
time has given rise to numerous theories
respecting its origin. Among the latest
and most feasible of these is the one ad-
vaneed by the Pittsburgh Gazette, in lis
issue of the 2Olh, ult. 1t says:
1.-The internal fires known to exist, are
making their way TO the serface, where, in
accordance with the prophecy-''lhe ele'

A Story for Boys

Business called me to the Unitd States
Land Office. While there lad, apparent
ly I6 or II years of age, came in and pre-
sented certificate of forty acres of land.
l was struck with the countenance and
general appearance of the lad, and inquired
of him for whom be was purchasing the
land. The reply was:
"For myself, sir"
then inquired where be had got the
sum of money.
He answered, "I earned it."
Feeling All increased desire to know
something more about the lad, I asked
him whether he bad any parents, aud where
they lived. At that question be took a
seat and gave the following narrative:

spring, on condition of receiving one eighth
of the oil procured. The well proved to
be pretty good one, and farmer began
to think that the oil men should give him
better chance, and ventured to tell them
so. They asked him what he wanted. He
said they ought to give him one twelfth.
The agreement was finally made, and with
the understanding that the Dutchman was

the next division day came, when our friend

WASHINGTON, March IL.

There is no longer any doubt that Maj
Anderson's command is to be Withdrawn
from Fort Sumter. Gen. Scott decides it
to be military necessity, and his judge
ment determines the question, as it has
done some others nearly as delicate. Con-
ferences have been held for several days
past, with-Mr Baehe of Coast Survey, in
regard to the access to Charleston harbor
with Mr.. Totten, of the Engineers, and
with other distinguished officers of the
different corps. After full consultion it
was agreed that the attempt to reinforce
Fort Sumter could only be made in two
WAYS, and then with doubtful success
First, by large naval force breaking into
harbor, through the distractions in the
channel, if possible; and second, by landing
an army of over 10000 men, and then at
tacking the batteries in the rear, which
command the entrance to the harbor. The
President has no army at his disposal fol
this purpose. Eight companies are now
stationed in this city, and seven at Fortress
Monroe, none of which can be spared. The
troops recently dispered in Texas will moi
be available for several months, if at all
and but 250 are reported as on the way
back. The force i'll Utah cannot be rein
forced Immediately. Congress gave ne
power to call out volunteers in case of ne
cessity, and, therefore, the President is con
fined to the actual and limited regular force
His hands are tied, and his resources Grip
pied by reasonable conspiracy of his prede
cessor and Cabinet. This predicameut wa:
deliberately contrived to embarrass The
new Administration.
The decision to withdraw Maj. Ander
son naturally exeites much feeling, partic
ularly among the Western delegations
What effect it may produce on foreign
Governments, which looked to the asser.
ton of a strong policy at all hazards, re-
mains to be seen. Here, it is regarded as
compulsatory alternative, to which Mr.
Lincoln has yielded from overwhelming ne
cessi,y, and because he was powerless tc
to carry out his own purpose.
1t is supposed in some quarters that the
withdrawal will operate benefciqlly in con
ciIiating the South, but this opinion is no
shared by rejecting observers. The North
ern Democracy will, of course, assaiI the
Administration, though Mr.. Douglas is
precommtted to the very policy which
has been adopted, by his recent speech ii
the Senate.
The British Consul at Charleston re-
Gently notified his Government that the OBJ
structions in the main ship channel, which
had been filled up to prevent the iDgress o
ships of war, were all removed, and yes
sells drawing 16 feet could easily enter
This important fact may or may not have
been taken into account, in determining th,
feasibility of sending re-inforcements.
The forts at Key West and Tortuga'
cannot be given up, because they may be
easily reinforced, and are of national i'm
portance in military and commercial as
poets. Fort Sumter involved point o.
honor only.
