British Indignation Over Our Stone Fleet
Blockade OF Charleston.

Blockade OF Charleston.
With the pacific settlement of the Trent
affair it appears that Mason and Sldell have
fallen from their high estaten in England
down TO the status OF a pair of runaway ne
groes; but it does not appear that this adjust
nent has appeased the yearning bowels of John
Bull for our Southern cotton. His sympathes
still incline that way; and, in counting the enor-
nous profits which he would derive from the
opening at this time of brisk trade with Jelf.
Davis and his confedcrates, the burly John
secs everything connected with our war TO put
down this great rebellion through dark and
distorted medium. If "Lincoln's blockade"
were only raised the shoddy factories OF Eng
land could soon enrich themselves and the cot
ton mills of Manchester by supplying our
Southern rebel armies with woolen shoddy in
place Of their cotton overcoats. Thus English
cupidity, and English jealousy of our "model
republic and its commercial developement,
combine to keep alive the sympathies of John
Bull for JEFF. Davis and his hopeless enterprise
the disruption of this powerful Union into two,
three or half dozen fighting republics Of the
South American order.
This Interpretation, we think, will apply to
the late jeremiads Of the London Times touch
ing our stone feet blockade Of Charleston
With an afectation of virtuous wrath, which is
simply ludicrous, that pretentious expounder
of British public opinion, the Times, says Of
our stone blockade of Charleston harbor that,
"among the crimes which have disgraced the
history of mankind, IL would be difficult to find
one more atrocious than this" and declares
that "no belligerent has the right to resort to
such warfare" Is not this a most charming
specimen of cool hypocrisy and unblushing i'm
pudence, We think IL exceeds anything pre-
viously attempted by that notorious blunderer,
the Thunderer, in its INSCRIPTIONS efforts to
degrade the cause Of our government In this
war, and to give laid and comfort" to this
utterly indefensible rebellion.
Mark the shameless effroptcry Of our accussr,

WHAT THE STATE LEGISLATURES OUGHT TO
Do.-Just now, when the question of taxation
is being discussed, and pending the passage in
Congress Of the necessary measures for raising
an annual revenue of hundred and fifty mil.
lions to meet the expenses of the war, II is
highly desirable that the State Legislatures
should take the matter into consideration Of
these there are eight or nine now in ses-
sion--namely, Massachusetts,, Maine, Minnesota,
New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin
and New York. It would be well for them to
pass bills authorizing and providing for the
collection Of the quota of revenue attaching to
their respective States as soon as II is levied
so making the machinery already established
in each State available for this extra pur-
pose. We are convinced that this may be done
with only triaing additional expense; and the
stste Legialstazss, by Anticipating the action

USE MADE OF THE TRENT AFFAIR BY Russia
ENGLAND IN A TfGIrT PLACE.-When our domes-
tic troubles assumed character menacing to
the integrity of the republic Russia was the
only Power that held towards us the language
of cordial sympathy. The letter Of tho Empe-
ror, to which Mr.. Seward returned so
stinted an answer, will be long remembered as
one of those spontaneous acts of friendship
which, performed in the hour of adversely, and
when all the rest Of the world held the Ian
guage Of discouragement towards US, cannot
easily be effaced from the national heart
On the question of international law involv-
ed in the capture of Mason and Slidell, Russia
held herself cautiously aloof from the con-
certed efforts made by the other European GO
vernments. The Cabinet of st. Petersburg
was, unquestionably, not sorry to see an issue
raised which must, whatever way it eventual
ed, curtail the domineering pretcnsions that
Great Britain had hitherto always maintained
on the ocean. But it had the delcacy and good
feeling to leave to our government its own dis
cretion in the matter, confident that its decision
would be in strict consonance with the liberal
principles that have always guided Its conduct
on this question Of neutral rights.
Now that the result has justified Its anticipa-
tions, the Russian government is one of the first
to push to Its legitimate conclusions the victory
gained to the commerce Of nations by the posi-
ton in which we placed England in the Trent
affair. It calls upon the Cabinet Of st. James
TO give to the world solemn guarantees that It
will be bound for the future by the principles
which IL has itself, contrary to the precedents
previously established by IL, enforced. We do
not see how England can now, with any show
Of dscency, resist the pressure for convention

Abolition OF Slavery i'm Western Virginia.
WHEELING, Jan. q, 1852.
In convention to-day Mr. Battse. Of Ohio county. Of
fered tho following propositions relative to slavery In
the new State:-
No slaves shall be brought into the State for permanent
residence after the adoption Of this constitution. All
children born of slave parents in this State on and after
the 4th Of July 1885, be free and the Legislature may
provide by general laws for the Apprenticeship or such
The above propositions referred to the Committee
on General Provisions, which committee will probably
report day this week. is not expected that the
committee viii report any provision Of the above charac
ter majority being adverse TO the consideration OF
slavery but it is thought that when they make their re-
port proposition smbodyng tn, sentiments Of the free
State men will be brought forward. and will be, from
present indications, Hercely contested
The New York herald., 1862-01-28

tainly be brought to bear upon 1t by ali The
other European governments. In taking the
lead in forcing her to assume consistent posi-
ton on this question, Russia evinces the same
friendly feeling and intelligent appreciation
OF the motives and policy of our government
that have ali along marked her conduct towards

The BATTLE or MILL SPRNa-RsBEL EsH-
NATE OF LOssEs.-In the Union accounts Of
the casualties on both sides at the recent battle
at Somerset, those of our army were set down
at thirty-nine killed and one hundred and
twenty seven wounded, while the rebels were
stated to have had one hundred and fifteen
killed and two hundred and sixteen wounded
Zone hundred and sixteen taken prisoners), and
forty-fve prisoners unhurt The Norfolk Day
Book acknowledges to three hundred killed,
and adds that the rebels lost all their horses,
tents and equipages, with eleven guns spiked
or thrown into the river. The Richmond Dis
patch of later date informs its readers that,
from accounts received at the War Department,
the defeat was more decisive than even North
ern statements had led it to believe. 1t ex-
presses its fears for the safety of the communi-
cations between the rebel capital and the
South, placed in danger by this victory Of the
Union troops, and urges the vital Importance Of
completing the connection between Richmond
and Danville and the North Carolina railroads.
The "Onward to Richmond" howlers will see
from this chart of General McClellan's plans,
traced out by the fears and quakings of the
rebel junta, that the longest road is oftenest the
surest one.
