give the largest Interpretation to neutral mar
thine rights, and to allow neutral ships to
carry not only the enemy's civil officers, but
also his dispatches. Hence it was impossi-
BILE that we should go to war in order to re-
tain the pretended ambassadors Of the Con-
fcderacy, without sacrificing the past policy
OF the Government and alternating France and
Prussia and Austria and Russia, who have
always been associated with US in the attempt
to induce England to accept broader doc
trine of neutral rights than she has ever been
willing to admit. The only course left was
to yield gracefully and cheerfully to the de-
mand of Earl Russell, and in this way to OBJ
tain a real moral triumph over England. She
is now honorably committed to the American
doctrine, and the points Of sympathy and Of
interest between the two countries have thus
been increased, so that there will be less dan
ger Of future occasion Of difference and strife.
We confess that we arc heartily glad Of the
result. We believe il makes foreign war,
during our present difficulties and in the flu
ture almost impossible The two nations,
most civilized, Protestant and Christian, in
the world, came to the very brink Of strife
on false issue BY an overrulng Providence
it has been averted. Both nations have learn
ed that they did not want to fight with each
other Both have learned practical lesson
in the sacrcdness and value Of neutral rights,
which will forever make future wars less ter
rblc and less frequent. And now they will
not eagerly and hastily seek another occasion
Of strife. This mutual understanding will
make the mischievous plottings Of the confed-
crate conspirators in Europe more hopeless.
The two Governments have stood in false
attitude toward each other but will now
stand mutually corrected and no rebel mar
/ plots will embarrass them again
1t would not be strange If England should
have now an abolition Reaction, and give the
author Of the fugitive slave law, when he
reaches her shores, reception very unlike his
anticipations We doubt very much if he
gets the recognition he desires. England
will never receive an ambassador Of a rebel
conspiracy, that she has taken from the fort
Of friendly nation. AZ any rate, if our Gov
eminent does its duty, the rebellion will be
suppressed long before Mr.. Mason is intro
duced to the diplomatic circles of the Court
Of St James. 1t now devoyes upon Gen. Nc
Clellan TO give us place among the nations,
as a Republic just to all other countries and
terrible to our own domestic foes.

NO WAR WITH ENGLAND.

From the tenor of advices received By the
last steamer. it would seem that England is
as DESTROYS to escape war as is our own coun-
try. 1t even appears that her Government,
in case of the refusal to surrender Mason and
Slidell, was inclined to propose arbitration,
or accept it, if proposed by the President
The case seems to be, that Capt. Wilkes ar
rested the rebel ambassadors on English prn-
cipes, and Mr. Lincoln gives them up on A
merican principles. 1t was as inconsistent
with her precelents, for England to demand
them, as it was with our presidents to arrest
them. And the two Governments came near
drifting into war in hot frenzy, each in op.
position to its own principles of international
law. But the wisdom and forbearance of the
administration has saved us from war in
which each nation would have had o falsif,
its own records and doctrines.
Nothing can be clearer both from the able
letter of Mr.. Seward and the still ADLER speech
OF Charles Sumner in the Senate, than thai
the rebel ambassadors should not have been
arrested by our naval officer. The policy o.
the U. s. Government has always been tC

Mr.. EDITOR, SIR - Our camp presents a
very lively appearance at present. Two com
panes Of Infantry and the Light battery re-
cruited at Montpelier have come into camp
within the last three days. making quite an
addition to our numbers. The barracks we're
full to overlooking last night, but two more
will be erected to-day Each one will accom-
MEDIATE some sixty soldiers. They are made
of matched boards, which are brought on the
ground in sections, and really transformed
into comfortable buildingi Thus far all of
them have been on range running nearly
east and west, but those t@ be erected are TO
be on the western boundary ofthe camp, and
at right angles with those a,ready built. The
berths in which the s0ldiers'esee are ranged

had fallen during the last Y sk, which makes
it extremely unpleasant as Il keeps the tents,
and barracks damp an th3 time. In conse-
quence Of the humid state II the atmosphere
our men have, many of them taken severe
colds. Some have TO go the hospital, a
few days others had ratt.7s stay here. The
f measles seem 10 ut MhA hll' AutiI way NNltN-
Is, yet, steadily through camp. Other
diseases are not as prevalent as this, though
there are some i'll with colds, sore throat and
fever.
The tables have been turned, somewhat,
since last wrote you in regard to our fare.
and | believe the boys CHAIN they live bet
ter than at first. understand that arrange
ments have been made to pay the men in full,
up to date of mastering into service before
leaving the state | have heard, by the by
that Gov Hobrook and Gsn Washburn both
mean to have every comfot, provided for this
regiment, that is needful TO make it etici-
ent, before they will permit it to leave.
Last Sabbath was very stormy and but few
men attended church. The chaplain is often
in camp looking after the temporal, as we'll as
spiritual welfare of the soldiers. The Quar-
termaster's department is managed with the
same ability and efficiency, which Mr.. Smith
ever exhibits in all business matters. T. G.
Phiney is here with a supply Of military goods,
such are a necessary for officers, field and

than at home, the same gentlemanly deieren e

characterizes him here as there.

FROM THE SIXTH VT. REGIMENT.

A.
January II, 1862
Mr.. EDfToR,-All is quiet and we are
still at our old quarters, making ourselves as
comfortable as possible this cold weather.
Our drills have been materially lessened, but
duty enough remains in guard duty and IA
tigue, police, etc. | am glad to announce the
health Of the Regiment considerably i'm
proved, Notwithstanding since the New Year
came in, the weather has been quite changea-
Bile, and averaging much colder than any
equal period since we came here, snow re-
naming on the ground to the depth Of two or
three inches and we have had severe rain
storm which frnze ~ it came down, making it
quite tedious for guard. But the men are
getting acclimated and toughened 30 that the
exposures do not produce that effect they did
at first.
sHRUBBERY
The beauty Of our camp has been much
increased by setting thick hedge Of cedar,
pine and laurel trees, surrounding all the
tents The entrances OF the various streets
of the different companies are marked by
fanciful and ornamental designs. Some Of
/ them are simply an arch supporting the letter
of the company, others ure wrought with
more artistic skill One of the prottest de-
signs is that Of Company b. On each side Of
the entrance is a Liberty-pole heavily covered
with evergreens bar from one pole to the
other supports heart which is attached to
the arch below The heart contains the
words =" 6 W. b." and the whole work is
thickly covered with evergreen and laurel,
arranged tastefully. The shrubbery serves
two purposes it adds to the beauty Of the
grounds and helps break the cold winds from
the tents.
DIscHARgED
On the sth Of January ioarfeeu Of our regi-
ment were discharged fres 'service for disa-
