English Tribute to the Yankees.

A correspondent of the London Tele.
graph writing at Washington on March
llth, of the combat between the Monitor
and the Merrimac, says: But one hope it
will at least not be premature to express.
1t is that the English Government will at
once see the wisdom of attaching the best
military or naval engineer in the country.
and also the best Royal artilleryman, to the
British Legation at Washington, with
view to observing and taking cognizance of
all the many experiments of this high
ingenious people in ordnance and ship bull
ding. 1t is high time that our ignorant
superciliousness and contemptuous indiffer-
ence of America should cease. More is to
be learned here than anywhere in the world;
and if we are such madmen as to shut our
eyes to this fact, in the face of the grave
eventualities which loom SO palpably
through the future, and to which it is hard
ly possible to allude in definite language,
the blame be upon our own heads
The same writer, describing the forward
movement of General McClellan's army,
says: Slch an imposing display of strength,
so much of the pomp, pride and circum-
stance OF glorious war, has rarely been wit
messed in any nation as was yesterday Wis
ible in Washington. From dawn to dewy
eve, infantry, cavalry and artillery continu-
ed to pour in an unbroken stream across
the Potomac and if | should say that old
military men, who have seen camps and ar
mics the world over, and have watched
French troops filing by in Psris for two
hours together, confessed that they had nev-
er witnessed such manifestation of power,
| should convey very imperfect and inad-
equate idea of the impression conveyed to
all beholders.
BY far the most imposing arm in the SER
vice is the artillery. 1t is said that Gen
eral Mcclellan ordered twenty batteries, in
all one hundred and twenty guns, to cross
the river, | am confident from what saw
that this is the lowest estimate of the field
guns which yesterday moved to the front.
On the field of Solferino, Louis Napoleon
had one hundred and eighty guns in posi-
ton but here, in connection with only
single army, one hundred and twenty guns,
of calibre far superior tc the French, were
in motion together, exclusive of those
which had crossed long before and it can
not be pretended that any nation on earth
is so strong in artillery at this moment as
the Federal States of America. Brass how
itzers, Parrott guns, caissons t'lmbrils, am
munition wagons, forges, moved forward in
long and endless line

THE FLAG OF THE RED, WHITE
AND BLUE,

additional Verses to an Old SONG.
By REV. J. FREEMAN.
Blest banner of freedom thy pinion
Floats wide DER the land and the sea-
The emblem of peaceful dominion,
Our eyes turn with rapture to thee.
Though war clouds and dangers are DER u.s.
Thy folds are still dear TO our view
With the flag of our country before u.s.
We march TO the Red, White and Blue,
We march to the RED White and Blue,
We march To the Red, White and Blue,
With the flag of our country before US,
We march 10 the Red White and Blue.
The glorious ensign ne'er sever,
Let il float in the ether above,
Its stars the bright symbol forever,
OF Union and Freedom and Love.
May they never grow dim in their shining,
Nor fade from their coiors true,
The stars and the stripes still entwlnng
HurrsGh for the Red, White and Blue.
Though traitors sllall meet and disembe,
And armies of rehols shall rise
Our banner shall cause them TO tremhle
As it waves in the bright southern skies,
And millions of patriot voices,
Shall the chorus of freedom renew
And shout as the nation rejoices,
Hurrah for the Red, White and Blue.

MARITAL LAw.--Not only in this State, but
throughout the South, the disapprobation OF
the War Department of martial law has been
clearly expressed. Gen. Van Dorm hiss re-
voked it in Mississippi, by order which is
creditable to his patriotism, and satisfies every
appropriated mind that he was honestly mis-
taken in his powers &nd had been aetuated
by no other motives than the good of the SER
vice and the protection of the citizens. We
have no reason to believe that Gen. Hindman' $
case is in anywise different. Gen. Holmes has
not as yet caused martial law to be rescinded
in this department, bat has issued additional
orders fixing The price of provisions, and caus-
ing all the salt works of the State to be seized
for public service, and labor, if necessary, to
be impressed for working them. The public
necessities certainly demand this action, and
so far one seems disposed to doubt the
propriety of the orders in themselves.
We are the adFocat ef the sacred character
o: our civil rights, always endangered by con-
tact witk military power As such, let US ad-
Use our readers to cheerful acqu iesce nce in
these orders whilst they exist They are de-
clared to be only temporary, and absolutely
demanded by the cxigency. Gen. Holmes is
IN more immediate c, mmuncation with the
War Department, and may have authorities
which we not yet advise Of. We are now
in a crisis, and nothing CO uld be more destruc-
tive to all hopes OF success than opposition and
dislike on the part Of citizens to the military
command er of the district. Eschew all such
feelings. and reserve the questions of power
for more convenient season. If military
power should usurp the functions of civil au-
thoIities, the remedy is not in exciting de-
bates. This lays open to the enemy. 1t is
sufficient for che people to know their rights,
and pursue qGieter remedy when the crisis
has passed

FROM THE PoroNAc-We continue to re.
ceiye rumors of an engagement in Maryland,
subsequent to the battles Of Sharpsburg and
Shepardstoun, specimen of which we find in
the Caddo Gazette Of the 4th inst:
"a gentleman of this city, that came
through in the stage this morning States, that
just before he left Monroe, dispatch came
to Gov. Moore, announcing the fact that Gen.
Lee came up with Mcclellan at Elleotts Mills
in Maryland, and had completely routed him"
A similar rumor reaches US from Little
Rock, but upon the whole we cannot advise
our readers to rely upon it, until further con-
frmed Stillit is possible.
1t is difficult to define exactly what consti-
tutes victory, but We feel assured that the
great events on the Potomac have Injured to
our advantage. We have paralyzed for tn e
present, the great army of Mcclellan, and left
the North to the defence of raw troops, in
fected with very demoralizing terror of
Southern proves and Southern courage. If
we choose to follow it up, before the North
ern troops can be disciplined and inspired
with fresh courage, it has been to victory
in the true sense Of the term. So mote 1t be.
