GETTING SICK OF IT.-It is well established
that English capitalists built and fitted out the
alabama. Now that the commander of that
piratcal craft fails to make any distinction be.
tween English and other property in his destruc
tive career, English merchants and newspapers
set ND terrible whining over the recent mis-
deeds of their iron-clad pet, The London Daily
Ne,cs argues that the New York Chamber Of
Commerce is right in denouncing England for
completely in species of service now disclsimed
and denounced by all civilized nations. The
same paper further avows that "we have a regu-
lar dock yard establishment 10 full work, making
a navy to use against friendly power, after we
have declared our neutrality" The London
Morning Star takes strong grounds in favor Of
stopping the work on rebel vessels in English
sbipyards at all hazards, and asserts that nine
other ships are being built or equipped in British
barbors for the same service as the Alabama,
The London Globe takes the alarm, and utters
this commercial protest "The work Of the
Confederate war vessel No. 290,' Captain
Semmes has now fixed the attention Of every
merchant in Europe, aud all are coming or bsvt
come to the conclusion that something must b,
done The vessels destroyed and threatened ar,

ing that gentleman lecture on Temperance will
doubtless hear him again, aud il any be OF The
opinion that because the subject is en- old one, 1t
will not be interesting, we ask them to go and

they will have an opportunity to listen to dis
course on Temperance which will be Interesting

The Temperance movement has been attended
with great success in this county, and at this
present time ia in a very aourishing condition.
The first Division was organized here 10 July
last, and now there is Division Of the order at
Minersyille, Douglas City, Lewiston and "lricity
Center, and in each OF those places 'le ihstitu-
tion is working splendidly, and %, .nr good. Il
is a noticeable fact that as mo-. BECOME temper

A CoNvBAT TO EMANCIPATIoN.-Tbe st. Louis
Republican, which bas long been the leading
pro-slsvery journal Of Missouri now urges the
adoption Of policy of gradual emancipation
In it's issue of November 25th it says;
The institution of slavery ia doomed 10 Mis-
souri,. OF all classes of property it is the most
susceptible to popular outbreaks and prejudces
and, though it breaks up a relation between
master and slave which has existed for many
generations and in doing which the slave will be
the greatest sufferer, it is right to prepare for it
We hope, therefore, that the conservative and
Democratic portions of the Legislature will &c
to Jefferson City prepared to agree upon some
plan which looks to the gradual emancipation Of
all the slaves in this State, We shall never have
peace until this is done.
