RB SEIzURE OF THE CoXNADoRE Pa
RY.-On Sunday night about II o'clock,
the steamer Commodore Perry, Capt. An
drews, touched at the landing for the pur-
pose of taking on some coal. Officers of.
the government were lying in walt, pre-
pared with the proper documents and a
file of soldiers, to seize her tor running
into aud sinking the gosarnment steamer
Eunics on Thursday night last. Deputy
Sheriff Houston served the process upon
the Captain, after VIII ich there was reason
to suspect that the boat Intended to shove
out and proceed up stream. Accordingly
the Captain was Informed that if.he moved
the boat, the battery on the Island would
sink him before he got q hundred yards
above the bridge. After some further par
lying, during which several officers aud
soldiers and number of distinguished
spectators, including this deponent, got
into the mire up to their several middles,
much to tue secret qualification of tue en-
ragged boatmen, the boat was dropped
down to place of safety where she now
remains. The Commodore Perry is heayi-
iy loaded with tobacco aud wheat for Pitts
burgh. She will be required to give secur.
lty for the recovery of damages before she
Will be permitted to depart.

E6- A PISA FOR HoRsE FLEsH.-W e
have word to say in favor of the horses
that have enlisted in the United States
army, and are on duty hereabouts. They
cannot speak for themselves, and weowe it
to the oppressed aud speechless creatures
to speak for them. They are shamefully
abused by some of the cavalry soldiers.
We saw poor old horse yesterday, out of
whose mouth tue blood was running in
stream, and whose rider was jerking at his
under jaw with all the energy he possess
ed. Wealso observed another horse, whose
rider had Onia pair of spurs as large as a
circular saw, which he drove into the ami.
malls sidesuntil the blood trickIed down TO
the ground. There is no use in treating a
horse in this brutal manner 1t would be
hard to get along without these noble crea,
lures, and they ought to be handled with
some show of care aud kindness.

Antbut unImportnnt.

If it be true that Messrs. Mason and Sill
dell have been given up, or if it is deter
mined that they shall be given up, either
upon the demand of England, or upon pre-
conceived determination of our own Gov
eminent that such would be the wiser
course, then any cases precedent to justify
their seizure are oflittle consequence. One,
however, so striking has been related to as
that we think it worth repeating, certainly
as a curious comment upon the excitement
which Just now heaves the universal British
breast, If not an authoritative case for the
justification of the act of the San Jacinto.
In the year 1915, after the battle of Wat
eroo, and when Napoleon was a fugitive,
capture, for she could not believe herself
ssfe while her great enemy was at large
The Lords Of the Admiralty consequently
issued orders to the British cruisers by
which it was hoped his escape would be
rendered impossible. That he would come
to this country was almost universally be-
lievsd, and ships sailing westward were,
therefore,, peculiarly liable to suspicion.
The ship Virginia. an American vessel was
at that time bound hither from an European
port to this city, when she WAS met by the
Beitish naval ships Theseus and the Pomona,
aud brought to in the usual way. Officers
| of the two British men-0f-war then boarded
her, and stating that they were in search of
Napoleon Bonaparte, ransacked the Virginia
from stem TO stern. For this act they
pleaded the order ofthe Lords of the Admir-
atty. OF course they did not find the OBJ
ject of their search, but if they had, does
anybody doubt they would have taken him
Probably not. But then, as The London
Times virtually says, zoe did this sort Of
thing when it was necessary to our existence;
it is quite another thing when it is only ne
cessary to y0urs.
The facts Of this apt but unimportant pre-
cedent we have from a gentleman who,
then young man, was an officer of the
Virginia-N T. Tribune.

We regret exceedingly to read paragraphs
like the following, taken from the Louisville
correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette.
Not that we doubt their truth, but from the
fact that We cannot doubt. No forward
movement for two weeks, and $50, 900, GOO
added to the Government debit II is COM
Horting to know that Gen. Buell., in gown
and slippers, is taking it comfortably at
Louisville. What pity it was, that Bona
parte never learned the art of moving a
great army, from the parlOrs of first class
hotel. Why didn't he manage the army Of
Italy in the saloons and drawing rooms Of
PARISH There has been great progress in
the art of war, since his days, as in other
sciencesI
Gen. Buell. has not " crossed Green River
with an army of go, 900 men," In fact he
hasn't crossed Green River with any per-
ceptible advance, whether of 5000 or of
90 men. Gen. Buckner has not g advanced
from Bowling Green with his whole force, y
and be is not now engaging our forces at
Mnnfordsville, with q view of destroying

forward toward Bowling Green to meet the

somewhat awkward predicament of. not
knowing the fact themselves.
Seriously, there are but two ways in
which a battle on the Nashville line can be-
come possible. We must move up and at
tack the enemy, or the enemy must move
down and attack us.

BACK From NashvlIIe.

Quite Unexpectedly to all their friends,
the crew of the steamer Pink Varble re-
turned on the lst inst. from Nashville-sll
but Mr.. Ben. MilIer-who, it would seem,
went with the intention of remaining.
Some two or three days ago, we stated that
a gentleman had gone to Richmond to see
if permission could be had from the author
tiles to let the boat out. That gentleman,
Mr.. Woodman, of New Orleans, returned
from Richmond with permission for the
crew to return, but the boat would not be
allowed to come out. The authorities
agreed to buy the boat, and Mr. Woodman,
who is an honorable and responsible man,
has pledged himself to obtain the means.
On his return from Richmond, he was COM
PEELED to visit Bowling Green to obtain Gen.
Johnson's signature to the papers-theu
back to Nashville to the Provost Marshal.
The crew left Nashville Christmas night,
on the steamer Jno. A. Fisher, and on
arriving at Dover they landed and crossed
over by land to Fort Henry on the Tennes-
see river At that port they embarked on
board the little steamer Linn Boyd, yhieh
| took them down the Tennessee river SIX
! teen miles, to thes rebel outposts. There
! they succeeded in buying a couple of Ca
/ noes in which they padded and hoated
! their way down to a point few miles
south of Smithland, where the Tennessee
river runs northwest, and thence they
walked north to Smithland, and there TAX
ing the steamer Sunnyside arrived here all
in good health and condition.
They were in Nashville at the time of the
great fire on the 22d, and report that four
large three story buildings, running through
from the river to Market street, were entire
ly consumed, with all their contents. A
very large amount of SHELLS, caps, &C., were
destroyed, the explosions being frequent,
and at times almost terrific. Great quauti-
ties of equipments for cavalry and artillery
were also burned Up, together with the
greater part of G. @. Armstrong; pork,
which, within day or two, had been moved
and stored there. Some of the meat was
saved in very damaged condition, but the
greater part of it was utterly destroyed. TC
the presence of the pork was due the inten-
siIy of the heat and the difficulty of extin-
gushing the flames. They estimate tbs
loss at about $7o0,000
They were not permitted to see any Of
the Notifications through or near which
they passed, but blindfolded nor were they
permitted to descend the Cumberland river
below Dover Barney Seals, who was the
pilot of the Pink Marble, was suspected o
being pilot on one of the United States
gunboats and came very uear being hung
on suspicion, but succeeded in proving thai

The New York Tribune has especially
commended itself to the confidence and pa
tronazs Of the American people, by its
searching and caustic criticisms of Great
Britain in her treatment of the Mason and
sidell difficulty. Leaving loose declama-
ton and denunciation to its contemporaries,
it has presented it's readers with the facts
and law in the case, with fair and legiti-
mate deductions from the same, and quoted
British precedents TO such an extent as
ought to forever silence the boastings and
hypocritical manifestations of philanthropy
by that Power, which have been f4unted in
the face of sill nations to such disgusting
extent. We now know to what length the
humanitarian professions Of the English
go-how far they may hs trusted. just so
far--and no Arther-ss g it s0iy pay" -
When more msney can be made cutting
Cgfsy, or By employing some one else to
do it Mrs. Beecher Stowe aud Mr.. George
Thompson must stand aside. OF course, it
is more desirable and pleasant to play the
role of the abolition philauthropist, while
pocketiug the profits of slave toll but when
forced to choose between profession aud
profit, professions and preoedents are for
gotten, and profit rules the hour,
The Tribune has done an excsllent work
in unmasking the hypocrisy of the venal
power, and has commended ITSELF anew to
Ito large number Of subscribers.
