TIE ALABAMA. Or. 2ao.-

There has been much complaint against
ENGLAND and Englishmen because this per
iidious craft was permitted to be built il
England.
We cannot sec upon what grounds this in
discriminate censure Of the English Govern.
Inrnt is predicated. 1t is true that this ship
was built in England and allowed to glide
quietly out of English waters; but, could the
English Government or English people pre-
vent it?
For instance, suppose that England and the
Canadas were at war, and our Government
neutral; how, in such a state Of facts, could
our Government, or our people, however much
it, or the people might desire to do SO, inter
fcrc to prevent private individual from Can.
ada, coming to New York or to Philadelphia
and making contract there with ship-build
ers to build certain class vessel? 1t would
not be in the power of our Government tc
prevent an enterprise like this. Neither is il
in the power Of the English Government to
prevent the consummation of enterprises like
that Of building the Alabama.
She was built in England, as we under,
stand, for private parties-secessionists Of
coursc-and received her armament at sea.
OF one thing we may be sure, and that is, thc
English Government cannot prevent, if it
would its ship-buiders and mechanics con-
structing ships for private individuals.
Whatever may be done with these vessels
afterwards, that after use it cannot take cog
nl2unce Of in advance. 1t may be well to
-ay that kngishmen knowing the uses to
Hhlcu such craft are to be put, ought not to
nId them. That is so, and it is very good
eq,e0uiug; but are we sure that Americans,
I4dcr like circumstances, would not do this
very thing? Indeed, we know they would
1t may be well, perhaps, to complain OF the
conduct of these Englishmen; but it is much
better to 60 to work and destroy what Brit
lshers have made. This would seem to be
The business Just now, which should more es-
pecay demand our attention.
What most concerns us now, is the de-
slruct,on Of the 29O. England could not do

VALUABLE ACQUISITION To THE SMITHSONIAN

VALUABLE ACQUISITION TO THE SMITHSONIAN
CoLLEcrloN.-Th Secretary Of the Smithsoni-
an Institution has just received quite valuable
addition to its collections Of curiosities,
which consists of mummy and several
skulls, &c., from Patagonia, South America.
They were forwarded by A. Ried, NJ. d.
Of Valparaiso, who accompanied them by
highly interesting letter, from which we make
the following extract
"Tho accompanying female mummy was
found about two months ago on the west coast
Of Patagonia, In latitude 40 south, near
point marked on the charts, "Rcfpjo Bay" A
considerable number Of human skeletons and
detached human bones were discovered, occu-
pying species Of cavern on the face of the
rocks that bind the coast, ut an elevation Of
about one hundred feet above high.water mark
and at no great distance from the beach. Some
Of the skeletons retain part Of the hair, inteeu-
ments and soft tissues, in various stages of de.
composition. The body under consideration
was, however, the only one In state approach
Ing preservation. Few similar specimens have
hitherto been procured-two are In the Nation
oil Museum at Santiago, third was cent, about
ten y ears ago, to the musuem at Ratisbon, In
Baveria, by the writer of these remarks, and
the fourth Is the one herewith presented to the
Institution
The mummy measures five feet and q half
inches, which is above the height Of the native
residents Of the country. "The entire individ.
ual makes the impression of having belonged
to race superior In bone and muscle TO it's
neighbors, as well as decendants."
OF the skulls, one belonged to an Indian Of
the "Pamyra," the northeastern frontier Of
Patagonia; another was found about 81 miles
from the Chillian settlements, and Is singular
specimen. Two others are those of the Aran.
canian Indians, who were killed 10 the
late collision OF these tribes with the Chilli
troops.
These specimens are now in the Smithsonian
Institution, but are not o. yet ready for the in
spection Of the public. They will be assigned

20 900 men, was going to attack Yorktown,
would seem to verify this intelligence, and lead
to the belief that the land and naval forces in-
tended 10 act in concert. Night before last the
rebels on the south bank of James river were
signalling more or less during the night. There
were no lees than three alarms Oh board the
liotilla before morning. This led to many cx-

are reasons ior believing either way. l have it
from authority that crew Of three hundred

TnH VI.OROUs PROSECUTION OV
TINE WAR.

THE WAR.
We have heard good deal of talk abou
the vigorous prosecution Of the war; but, al
yet, we have seen but little corresponding &C
tion.
We do not write in spirit of complaint
or OF faut.iinding. We only desire to SCI
what has been predicted SO frequently, ant
what has been promised 80 long, IN accom-
plished fact
The loyal States have responded to thu
call Of the Government most nobly; they have
sent their sons to the field; they have con
tributed largely Of their means for bounties
In short, they have spared no pains nor eH
pensc to answer the demands Of the loya
cause in the field
Of the six hundred thousand men called
for, full five hundred thousand have beer
raised.
There has been, in some localities, slight
difficulty in making draft; but, in almost
every instance, this difficulty has been obvia,
ted by increased bounties and the patriotic
purposes and aims of the people.
Everything has been done, seemingly, that
could be done to raise recruits, and to hurry
them forward to the field of strife.
From month to menth we have listened to
those who claimed to know. Now we are to
have more vigorous prosecution Of the war.
Still, days, and weeks, and months, of as fine
weather as could he wished for, are passing
away, and the rebellion lifts its defiant head
as haughtily as ever, showing contempt for
our arms, defying our generals, and menacing
even Washington itself.
The trouble cannot be that we have not
men enough-that the men have not supplies
IN abundance of ammunition, of arms, and o
everything necessary to encounter an engage
mcnt. Why, then, is there not forward
movement upon rebedom-a vigorous, manly
onslaught upon the rebel hordes, which could
and would result in their utter overthrow ant
annhilation?
We confess to our entire inability to ex
plain this delay upon any known plausible
preteXts or reasons. There may be reason.
hat we don't see, for this holding back rea
sons in the strength and position of the rebe
'my: reasons in the weakness and incapacit,
e., want Of preparation in our own. 1t il
.yrtuin that there must be q reason, and ;
suiticicnt cause, and the people, who pour ou
their money like water, and who send thei
sons to the battlefield, are entitled to know
the wherefore of this delay.
That there is courage, daring, intrepidity
and good fighting qualities in our brave sol
diers, as can be found in any army the worl,
ever saw. no one can doubt-and we trus
this power, indeed we believe it will not. b,
frirtered away.
From what VIC can now discover of th
movements going forward, VIC have high hope
OF decisive results in our favor Ifsuch blow
are dealt out upon the head and front Of thi
ipiumous rebellion, where it now rears il
wicked and defiant crest in Virginia, an,
these blows are followed up, and the mos
kingdom Of Jell. Davis will soon totter to it
