throw the federal government into the
hands of the despoticl powers whose
alliance they have always shown a
strong disposition to court-a disposi
tlon natural to all democracies. and
sure to be fostered by bitter quar-
rel with England. And such a war
would force us into a closer alliance
with the Confederate States than we
ever ought to entertain with a bower
resting on the basis of slavery. Unless
manifestly forced upon us it would be
regarded in Europe, and by a section
Oh our own people, as a war for the
sale of cotton on behalf of slavery.
There is only one thing worse than
such war, namely, tame submission
to insult menace and outrage. We are
not little afraid that we may have
incurred both. It is possible that, after
lord Russell has alternated for a while
between impertinent lectures on the
federal constitution and quiet endu-
rance of robbery and outrage on Brit
sh vessels and citizens, he may find
hat he has "drifted into war" again;
again dishonored his country, as he
iishonored her at Vienna; again i'm
'eriled her interests, as he helped to in
854; again assisted this time as a
principal agent, to involve her in a
truggle which might have been a.
-oided.

this place and the mouth Of Red River.
We bid him good speed in his laudable

been waiting particularly for months,
for some news, from some quarter of

arrives tri week y from down the river

same response hy its courteous and
portly driver - no mail. We must do
the old institution justice, however,
for few days since, some papers ar.
rived from New Orleans, which proved
quite a godsend to our merchants. as
wrapping paper is getting quite scarce.

try, he finally succeeded in reaching the
Mobile and Ohio railroad at Bonneville at Q
o'clock A. NJ. on the 30th.
He destroyed the track in many places
both south and north of the town, blew up
one culvert, destroyed the switch and track,
burned the depot and locomotives and q
train of twenty-six cars loaded with supplies
OF every kind, destroyed 10000 stands OF
small arms, three pieces of artillery and O
great quantity Of clothing and ammunition
and parolled two thousand prisoners, which
he could not keep with his cavalry.
The enemy had heard of his movements
and had train Of box cars and fiat cars witt

moving up and down the road to opretont him
from catching it. The whole road wa!
lined with rebel pickets.
Col. Elliotts command subsisted upor

country through which they passed, for sew

~" The Mayor of New Orleans, who
feared "a high-spiritcd people would not
bear the presence of our Union soldiers, >
sent the freedom of the city to the officers of
French frisa,c lying in the river, and
invited them to its hospitaltics Governor
General Butler sent word to the Mayor that
any manifestations of the kind intended will
come from the United States authorities, and
not from the municipal officers of captured
city. "Thc Freedom of captured city by
the captiyes would" he says, ''mcrit letters
patent for its novelty, were there not doubts
of its usefulness as an invention, and the
tender Of hospitaitics by government to
which police duties and sanguinary regula-
tions only are entrusted, is simply an invita-
tion to the calahoosc or the hospital" The
rebel authorities have been looking for relief
from the yellow fever and been neglccting
the streets to invite it, but Butler made
them 60 to work and clean the. city thor
oughly, both for their own benefit and that
of the Union visitors. 1t will be a good
thing for New Orleans if Butler should be
installed there for few months.
