| ,nEneL Aeerr TO ENGLAND !,



The Mobile Register has received from
London copy Of letter addressed to
Lord John Russell. by the Hon. I. But
Ter King, Confederate agent, who has
been in Europe for several months. The
Register says of the letter:
at is an argument addressed to the
commercial and manufacturing interests
of the British nation, showing how the
unp aralleled industrial and financial pros
perity of the North has been built up on
Southern agriculture, Southern market
monopolized, and favoring Federal legisla-
ton Al this prosperity, counted by mil
lions, is, says Mr.. King, at your COM
mand You have only to hold out your
hand and take it. 1t is certainly Tempt
ing offer to the great commercial power
OF the earth-that power whose boast u
that the reveilfe bent of her drum islhesrd
around the earth. and whose war policy
in colonizing all over the world, and
planting her foot upon every isle Of the
saa where a sea bird can light, is but the
exemplar OF that far seeing commercial
policy that seeks to open new markets for
her trade, new customers for her manufac-
lures, new feeders to this vast and compli-
Gated mechanical industry. Mr.. King is
entitled to praise for sagacity in the choice
of his theme. II il the weak spot of the
British policy which he he has assailed
with his tremendous enginery Of fascina-
ting figures"

HThe rebel General Jackson, with
whom General Lander is exchaning shots
on the Upper Potomac, is : Georgian by
birth, and graduated At Yale College in
1889. A correspondent Of the Boston
Journal says of him:
In the year 1885 this Jackson was
enc OF the freshmen class entering Kaie
Coliege-then q youth about sixtssn or
seventeen years Of age. This class was
large one, numbering one h1ndrsd and
thirty -6ve-hrger, in fact. than any which
1t that time had entered the college. II
contained due proportion of southern
students. At that day all the classes con-
tanned more students from the Soath than
in these later years. 0ne-fourth, per-
haps, Of the whole number were from the
slave States. ! think it would have been
generally conceded that this jackson WIN
the ablest southern student in tho claas,
and indeed 10 the college"

The Louisville Journal Of yesterday
says twelrecannon were captured 1t Som
erset, and thinks the rebel army can not
escape. There are from seven to ten Fed
eral regiments which we're thrown across
Cumberland River severnl days since, to
intercept their retreat, and unless the
rebels Divide into squads and find their
way into Tenn, by unfreqaented paths,
they must all be entrapped.
A letter to the Commercial, dated Som
erset, 10Th inst, says Zollicofer is said
to have been killed by Col. Fry, Of the
I'd Kentucky regiment. We have taken
many prisoners. The loyal Tennesseeans
fought like tigers, and have suffered much.
The 9th Ohio is badly cut up. The
Tennesseeans took one battery, at the
point Of the bayonet.

The outgivings in the London Times,
and other British journals, that We Of the
North, in our stone fleets, etc., are con-
Quoting war against civilization. etc.,
provoke many retort. The World says:
The dungeons Of the Tower; the flesh

formed the appropriate ornaments Of
Temple Bar; the bloody assizes Of JEFF.
fries; the ravages of Clavcrhouse; the
massacre of Drogheda and Glencoe; the
Indian tomahawk and the scalping knife
employed in our war of the Revelation;
the victims of the old Jersey prison ship;
the Hindoo rebels, whose living bodies
were rammed into mortars and fired into
the air-all bear witness to the murder
Gus revenge with which England visits
rebellion against her authooity. And this
is the England which exhorts us to for
give our rebels and acknowledge the new
Dahomcy in our Southern States in the
interest Of humanity and cotton.

On Wednesday night, at the residence
of Warren Lewis, who resides some eight
miles below this, on the river, there was
quite brisk and desperate fight between
FIVE or six Federal soldiers, and party of
the same size Of Jayhawkers, from Kan
Sos. The Jayhawkers were making a
descent on Mr.. Lewis for ths purpose Of
taking his horses, which was resisted by
the Federals. who we're staying with Mr..
Lewis that night. We learn that it was
> hand-to- hand fight, ::and one Of the jay
hswken received several severe bayouet
wounds. and four others were shot. In
the melee, two horses that had been sto-
len the day before, were recovered, and
the commission Of John Burtwell. Second
Lieutenant Independent Greek Rangers,
was found after the affair was over. 1t

This decision must, we think, be hailed

General Thomas has taken the steamer

It headquarters is that, using these boats
to convey his troops across the river south

transportion. Thomas has been too busy
to send the details of the recent fight. No
