A stuarrel between PnlmeFston and Golden
Lore Palmerston and Richard Golden have
fallen out. In the House Of Commons on the
7th OF July, during a debate on the Fertilization
bill, Mr. Golden observed that the facts proved
that the former statements as to the French navy
had been incorrect, and he asked whether there
was any man accustomed to public afairs who
had not been led by Lord PalmerstOn to believe
that the French had unduly altered the proper
ton which their navy bore TO our. in former
times. And that was The reason why the House
had been called upon to vote enormous esti-
mates for the navy. He had had as good an op-
portunity as Lord PalneTs50n himself for know
ing the state OF both navies, and he undertook
to say in opposition 10 bis assertion, that for the
last twelve or fourteen years, the French navy
had borne a far less proportion to that of Eng
land than in the time of Louis Philippe. lie
read statements Of the expenditure IN the French
and English dOckyards, AID of the number Of
in the two navios, aud asked if these
statements could not be gain-ssid, what f0unda-
ton was there for these gigantic fOTtificai0ns'
lie maintained that he exaggerated accounts Of
the increase Of the French navy were wholly
delusive, and he cited various statements made
by Lord PalmerstOn Of the forces Of France, ma
val and military, the correctness Of which he
challenged.
Lord Palmerston observed that be received
the accusations Of Mr.. Golden with the utmost
possible quietness. D.Tering as they did, these
were quite natural Dir. C0bdsa
lcas Ia a state of Kindness and dclHsiOR lrdich
made him unfit to be listened 20 as an adviser
upon a question Of this kind. He had accused
him Of great exaggerstioEs. He denied the
his statements had been confirmed by
papers before the House. Mr.. Golden had iGsti-
tuied a comparison between the expenditure il
the French and English d0ckyards aud the
naval estimates n the two countries; but these
comparisons were fundamentally fa,lacI0us as q
measure Of relative strength. He was satisfied
that the ideas of Mr. Cobdon upon this subject
eOnfded to a very few, and that bis cen
sUTes would not damage him Lord PaImerst0n)
il the opinion Of his e0untrymen.
The LONDON Times, commenting upon this
passage at arms, remarks:
It appears that the fire mes only been srzoul-
dering for years, that Mr. Cobdsn has ell along
regarded Lord PalmeTstOn as the chief enemy to
peace and quieti while Lord Pslmerston has
regarded him as a maH ft to eobble
. treaty Of trade, but without a head or soul for
anything better.

How to supply Mississippi with salt.

This is an article which is attracting the at
tention Of the people not only in this county,
but nearly all over this State, relative 90 its
scarcity. This Is an article we cannot do with
out. We must have salt. In view of the scar
city of this article, and as we have a great many
Minute Men in camps, We suggest that Governor
Pettus order these Minute Men to some place,
on the coast Of this State, out Of the reach Of
the enemy's feet, where the salt is plenty, and
send a number Of negroes there for tho purpose
Of making salt. We would suggest, also, that
a sufficient number of soldiers be sent there to
protect the saltwOrks, while they ere making it,
say ten thousand strong. A sufficient quantity
Of this article could be made tosuppIy The State,
and not be beholding to the Spectator. We
think that if this plan was tried, the Stale Of
Mississippi could be supplied with that article
which is so greatly needed, in a very short time.
Let this plan, or soma other, be laid bsf re the
governor, that we may be supplied with the
above named a%rticle, and that immediately

THURLOW WEED There has been no small
degree of amusement, says the Paris correspond
eut Of the New York Herald, csussd in Europe
among those who know the facts, ct the recep-
ton which the Albany Warwick met upon his
arrival in America, and the mention of tho "dis-
tinguished services :" which he performed in
behalf of our cause and government during his
rip through Europe. Now the Iact Is tirat,
during the whole OF that tour, Mr.. Weed was
like a fish cut of water and really did not
Know what to 90 with himself, and therefore did
but little. In England be called on Lord John
Russell, and wrote a few epistles for the London
Times, and, being able to speak the language ct
the country, sustained the action Of our govern
ment, as any other patriotic citizen would, when
ever occasion offered. Beyond this his " ser
vices actually amounted to nothing. and in
France and Germany the languages of the coun-
try operated as an %effectual draPback upon Mr..
Weeds missionary efforts. He received the
Pope's blessing, however, in Rome, but whether
that included abs, luton for al his past political
sins am not informed, although he had a pow
erful advocate with bis holiness there in his
friend Archbishop Hughes, who, by the way, ID
is said, was much favored BY the Pope during
his %sojourn in the Eternal City.

Special Dispatch to the Chicago Timesl
VICKsBURG, July % WA Cairo, July BOY
By an agreement between Commodore Davis
and Farragut, an attempt to take the ram Ar
kansas was made yesterday morning. By ar
rangemeht, the feet below was to come up and
engage the lower batteries, while the western
gunboats were to engage the upper. The Essex
and ram Queen Of the West, in the meantime,
were to attack and tow out the Arkansas.
Accordingly, at daylight, the Benton alag
ship, aud Cincinnati, Louisville and Bragg
weighed anchor and steamed down the river.
As they neared the point the Bragg halted and
laid to securely under the right bank, for what
purpose is unknown. TIE Essex passed on,
hugging the point and right shore, with her ports
closed, while the remainder Of the fleet engaged
the batteries in a spirited msnner.
The feet below failed to come up not even
the Sumter, which was relied on, fired a gun
from below.
As the Essex passed down, the shots literally
rained on and around her, the lower batteries
having no better mark.
The lower mortsr-boats fred g few shells, but
they had no effect in d~ivertiDg the fire Of the
enemy from the Essex.
Tee rebel fire was tremendous, and it seemed
as if every mans house-yard had been converted
into a battery. Not less than sixty guns were
planted in the town.
The Essex intended TO run into the side Of the
Arkansas and jam her against the rocky lovee.
but the rebel craft swung out, aud the Essex
grsz7d her side only, drl then ran inso the
shore, As she went on, however, she gave the
Arkansas the contents Of her three eleyen-ineh
~boW-guas.
As they lay alongside, they exchanged shots
constantly.
As soon as the Essex got loose from the shore,
thinking she could 90 no good, unsupported
as she appeared to be, she dropped down. But
she wa not altogether unsupported. The Queen
Of the West was nObly coming up to her aid,
and, though she arrived too late to act in COZ
cert with the Essex, she attacked the Arkansas
alone. She ran head down, and gave the AUkan-
sas a butt that made her t.emb.e from stem to
stern. Recovering herself, the Queen ran on
again SO foreibly as TO strain her own works
badly in the bow. The Queen then backed out
and came up the river.
Tho Essex and QUEEN received d terrible show
er Of shet as they approached and left the Az
kansas. Tbe Essex received several shot through
her, and had one man killed and two wounded.
The Queen. though shot through and through a
dozen times, made a miraculous escape. She
did not sustain any loss of life. AL her crew
volunteers and acted nobly. For an IN
armed vessel TO run under sixty guns looks ike
madness, and her escape appears little short of
q Divine providence.
The remainder of the fleet engaged sustained
harm.
TIE whole movement has proved a failure,
and the terrible Arkansas lies secure under the
guns of Vicksburg.
The Ceres went down the river a few miles
night to return q large number Of negroes
taken from plantations to work on the
canal. While returning, this morning, she was
fired upon by a new xebel battery below, and a
of the 6ih Vermont was killed and sew
man wOuude1.

The little muss at the North, between Seward

Little more than twelve months ago the North
was mastering and msrshaling her innumerable
legions to such a magnificent extent as to excite
the wonder and admiration of Europe and to fix
the gaze of all the world. Then all was hope,
unity and confidence. swelling into insOlence,
arrogance and bombast. But fifteen months Of
the ar has wrought most wonderful change
in the hearts and minds and ideas of that vain
glorious people. Now, according to our tele-
graphic report, all is, with them, " confusion,
doubt and dismay p and we shall not wonder,
if in less than six or twelve months more, we
should find them the victims Of anarchy in its
worst form. All the elements for such 4 state
of things are in their midst, and their first de-
velopings are even now beginning to show
themselves. Ere the time we have mentioned
shall expire, the North instead Of the South may
be looking with longing eyes to European inter
vention or mediation, for the establishment Of
peace and order in their own sections.
Without stopping to count the consequences,
the people of the North plunged into this war
with blind zeal and infuristed fsnsticism, and
they are Just now beginning to reap and expe-
rience its bitter fruits. Their bad passions are
beginning to turn inward upon themselves, in
proportion as they are Fepulsed from Southern
soil, and the most direful results may be safely
anticipated when their discounted armies and
hireling soldiers are driven back upon them.
Then, indeed, when a riotous mObocraey shall
rule ia their midst, viii confusion" dwell in
their councils, " doubt in their minds, and
''dismay % in Their hearts. The gloomy wings
Of dispair are even now throwing dismal shad-
ows upon their hopes, and a dark, dOlOrous future

INTERVENTION AND RECOGNITION,

INTERPOLATION AND VNs
From the tenor of the English intelligence
which we publish this evening, it is tolersble ap-
parent that the British government have no idea
Of interfering in American affairs, until, at least,
the aspect of things is materially changed. The
resolution Of Mr.. LINDSAY, fsYoring recogni-
ton, has been debated in Parliament, and
finally Withdrawn.
The position taken by Lord PALMERsTON
clearly indicates the policy of the government
and shows, moreover, that that policy IS to
stand aloof and let the two beIligerants fight it
out. This idea suits US amazingly well, as our
independence, when achieved, will be worth all
the more to Us from having been gained by our
own might and prowess, and without interfer
ence from any quarter. This position of Eng
land, too, may have the beneficial effect Of
norving our people 10 more energetic action in
the vigorous prosecution of the war. With the
full and certain knowledge that in our own
strong arms and high resolves is repOsed the
fate ard destiny Of ourselves and our posterity,
it is hardly possible that any among us can
longer remain le.hargic or inactive.
The truth is, it rests entirely with the South
ern people whether this shall be a long or a short
war. Avigorous prosecution of it will bring it
to a speedy close, but it cannot be SO prOsecuted
unless our generals in the field are furnished
with the men and means necessary for that pur-
pose. It is within the power of the South to
throw as many troops in the field as the North
can possibly 90 at this time, in view Of the
present state Of feeling existing there, and it is
our conviction that if this were done at once, it
would measurably prove tantamOunt to, or
would at least lead US to an early termination of
the war. The North will be much harder to
move han she has yet shown herself to be,
when her people are given to know and to feel
that ~subjugstion of the South has to be reached
over the conquered and subdued bodies of half
q million Of brave, chivalric Southern soldiers.
Us then cease to lock beyond the Atlantic
for mediatorial aid, but relying upon the prowess
Of our arms and TIE holiness Of our cause, let
Us put cur own shoulders to the wheel, and the
good work is done-the foe is defeated and our
Independence achieved.
