England and Her Policy Towards tho
United states.

The Puritanica blackleg ministry of England
and the opposition tory party. whatever may be
their points of divergence upon the domestic
affairs of the kingdom, are hunting upon the
same trail in reference to our Southern rebel
lion. The arstocratic element which governs
the movements of Palmerston and the counter
movements of Derby cannot be misunderstood
1t il struggling for the maintenance of its
power, its feudal privileges and advantages
against the march of popular ideas and popular
rights. Hence with the temptation before the
English aristocracy which is now offered for
English armed Intervention, in order to break
up the popular institutions Of the United States,
and TO destroy at the same time an overshadow-
ing and still advancing commercial rival,
we find the English whig and English tory run
ming full speed to outstrip each other in the
hue and cry for war.
And what an example of England's hypo-
crisy and pcrfdy has thus been given to the
world. From the outset Of this rebellion, when
we were startled with England's concession of
"beligerent rights" to JEFF Davis and his con-
federates, down to this day, English statesmen
ana EDgilsu JOuTuhls VI tHc WHlR anu bOry
parties have Wed with each other in msrepre-
sentations and denunciations, and in the most
scandalous inventions, against the government,
the army the navy, the people and the nstitu-
tions of the United States, our cause, our pros
poets and our purposes. Thus we have been
told that ''the American Union is utterly de-
stroyed;- that the government at Washington
has degenerated into ian irresponsible despot-
ISM" that our rulers and our laws are but the
offspring of can ignorant and brutal mob;" that
our army is no better; that our navy is a shall
low pretence; that our blockade is miserable
bumbug, for that English traders run In
and out of our Southern ports when
ever they please, while Manchester is
literally starving for cotton; that, as we are
only fighting to preserve Southern slavery,
we deserve no sympathy from England; and
that as we are really engaged in war against
Southern slavery, we deserve the execrations OF
all mankind
SuchFrom the bombardment of Fort Sumter
down to this day, have been the accusations,
contradictions and qualifications of the leading
political journals Of England in reference to
! this country. We dare say that, as they have

PUTTING PATTERsoN.-We notice that our
Washington correspondent indulged himself
yesterday in a puff of Patterson, calling him
prudent and wise," and speaking of his "high
reputation as q commander in the Mexican
war;" We beg leave to differ entirely with
this estimate Of Patterson. The reputation he
gained during the Mexican war was the very
doubtful one of commander averse to fighting.
As for his reputation during the three months
of great marches and no fighting which preceded
Bull run, the less said about II the better for
General Patterson. He managed always to
have his army exactly where there was no
enemy. He permitted Johnston to effect union
with Beauregard at Manassas. He did not even
retrieve this fatal error by joining his forces to
those of Mcdowell, and thus lost us the battle
of Bull run. Retiring upon these thorny laurels,
General Patterson selected time when General
Scott had left the country to make an attack
upon our veteran Commander-in- -Chief-a pro.
ceeding admirably in keeping with Patterson's
military tactics. Such being the state of the
case, our Washington correspondent should in
future employ his time and the telegraph to
better advantage than belauding this modern
American Grouchy.

NEWSPAPER RMoRALTY--A great deal has been
said of late by one or more of our contempora-
ries respecting the alleged immortality of our
publishing the unobjectionably worded adver-
tisements ofthe city concert saloons. We have
only TO refer to the medical advertisements in
the Times, however, to find that they are far
more dcleterious and disgraceful than anything
that has ever appeared in the columns of any
othor Journal in this country.
The New York herald., 1862-01-07

Both systems are adapted to the different cli-
mates and races, and it is vain for wild vision
airy theorists to attempt to overthrow natures
laws. There is one thing we must not permit
them to do, and that is to overthrow the go
vernment founded by Washington. Jefferson and
their contemporaries. What was good enough
for the heroes and patriots of the Revolution Of
l776 is good enough for us.

CONTRADICTORY ACCOUNTS OF AFFAIRS IN

Eppture f1he British Steamer Ann Mt
the Mouth of Mobile Bay.


The prize steamship Ann, Of London, cut
out from under The guns Of Fort Morgan. at
:he mouth Of Mobile BAY, on June g, arrived
at this port yesterday. The Ann had run 10
during the night BY the blockading ueet, US It
was 50 dark that she could not oe seen by
our vessels. Lights had been kept burning
on The tort all night, SO she had no trouble III
finding the channel. The next morning she
vas discovered by the Susquehanna, within
half mile Of the fnrt, nn!oadiDg her cargo into
a rebel steamer a1orgside. The Susquehauns,
accompanied by the KanaEa, then got under
weigh and steamed within gunshota and opened
fire on the strange steamer. The fire was re-
turned By the fort and kept up on both sides.
In the meantime the crew had deserted the
strange steamer as the shells from our ves-
se1s ie}l about herra.her too thick1y for safety:
She was soon discovered to be ads1tt, sud
dropped down with the current about m1te,
when the KauaT ha was ordered to go in and
tripg her cut, which she did in fine style, un-
der heav " fire from the fort.
When the Ann was boarded BY Act
ing Mater Partridge from the Kama Via,
she was found to be in a sinking condition,
her injection pipe having been cut, and the
kingston valve left open Tne engine and
iirc-1oonls were soon Tiled with water, but Al
she VAS built in four water tight comPars'
had not been opened, only one compartment
