ENGLAND The SOUTHERN CoNFEDsRACY.-Capt. James
D. Bullock who lately successfully the blockade while
in command of the splendid eamshp Fnga has arrived
in Richmond. Captain Bullock says that the PEOPLE of
England nearly all in favour OF the Southern Confede

classes the nobility and merchants and majority of the
pre- of Great Britain. He thinks there is likelihood
Lord Pamerstons proving Indifferent the question invo

British vessel of Messrs Mason and Sde Lord Paners
toms Indifference f he evnces any doubt caused by
his being snubbed Washington while he represented his
Government there its chief diplomatic agent, which
has, it is said neither forgotten nor forgiven.
The above from the Richmond E1amine1ois a most
amusing piece OF nonsense.
In the first place Lord Pamerston never was snubbed
at Washington, while be represented bis government
there its chief diplomatic agent and for this simple
reason that Lord Panerson never as an Washington!
In the second place, if for any reason Lord Palmers-
ton had any snabtous grievance against the Wash
ington government, that would surely be reason for
believing that he would take the first favourable oppor
tunity to resent any ndigny offered by that govern
ment, and none at all for believing that lie would play
into the hands of the Iincolntes by submitting to fresh
insults from them.

Our amiabIe contemporary of the Fayetteville O68er-

got in water at least yard too deep at Beaufort, and
having gone beyond its depth, it splahes and splutters,
quotes Shakepear and INDUCES in other dramatic per-
iormances pleasant and ediying in their character We
trust our cotemporary enjoys itself If it would keep
Httle cooler it would perhaps see clearer. 1t might
see that while the Journal does not "roar around" about
saItm4Ier and others, it exposes the grievances ex
listing and does morc--t t1es to suggest renaedy-a
mode to relieve the public from the tax which
the present price of salt imposes.
We have not our copy of the Immortal bard" about

cannot quite repay the quotation so "snugy" INDUCED

somewhere a character who, indictment against

so On. The promptitude with which the Observer ap

The NEWS to-Gay appears to be sosewhat interest
ing, and even "mportant true" that from Missouri
especially. We will probably Lave some further in re-
gard to the reported fight at Springfield before long
We trust that il will be confirmed.
We think the telegraph is correct in cbaracterizng
the Federal talk aboa Port Royal as pretty much bal
derdush.
The Sumter has been tured SO often on paper that
must regard the report Of her capture of the coast
of Texas by the steam frigae Niagara as rather apo
chryphal
There may be truth in the reported capture of an
English Steamer, but are not of it by any
maaus.-- Daaly Journal, 18Th inst.
So FAR as we can Learn through public or private
channels the reports of the disafecon of the negroes
around Fort Royal is almost wholly Yankee inven-
tion. The servants are certainly not under good
control formerly, simply because their masters are
not present to give direction to their labors.
AS for the amount of cotton that the invaders will
get it will be like the almsgiving of hypocrite-"
ing to nobody" From all we can hear, the planters
are displaying a sesscrfcing patriotism that puts to
shame even the copfae "a ion OF Moscow for in their
the act is voluntary whereas in the case Of the Rus
sian Capital it was done under the compression of a
powerful military government. The Northern mana
acurers will get little cotton from South Carolina for
it will be turned by its before it will be allowed
to tall into their hands Indeed the fine long staple
cctton of the Sea Islands is mostly called for in the
production Of those finer ard ancier fabrics which are
nearly all manufactured in France.
The large brags which the New York He, aid makes
about expeditions, and on are worth-what tie
word of that paper generally is worth.

Nor DEEP ENOUGH FOR PRAYING.-

Nor DEEP ENOUGH FOR PRAyING.-
We have heard a good story of RATS
men. The event occurred during the
late big blow on the Mississippi, at
which time so many raftswere swamped,
and so many steamboats, lost their sky
riggings. A raft was just emerging
from Lake Pepin as the squall came.
In an instant, the raft was pitching and
writhing as if suddenly dropped into
Charybdis, while the waves broke over
with tremendous uproar, and expecting
instant destrution, the raftsman. dropt
on his knees and commenced praying
with vim equal to the emergency.
Happening to open his eyes an instant,
he observed his companion, not en-
gagged in prayers, but pushing pole
into the water at the side of the raft.
What's that yer doin', Mike 2"
said he; "get dawn on yer Knees now,
for there isn't mint between us and
purgatory!'
"Be aisy, Pat" said the other, as he
cody continued to punch the water
with his pole; abe aisy, now mhafs
the use Of praying when a teller can tetch
bottom 1cith a pole 2"
Mike is pretty good specimen Of a
large class Of Christians, who prefer to
omit prayer so long as they can "tctch
bottom"
