The settlement of the Trent affair
affords much qualification among the
conservatives and prominent Union
loving men, whatever may have been
their previous opinions on the subject
in regard to the adjustment, as re-
moving serions impeachment in the
prosecution Of hostilitics against the
insurgents, and as depriving the
enemy of the strength which they
would have derived from q war be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, and probably France. There
is a general expressed acquicscencc
in the course Of the Government, while
the dispatches of Secretary Seward
are viewed in the light Of the highest
ability. al

An Advance Movement Favored.

The correspondent of the New York
World says there is an earnest feeling
in Washington in favor of an effective
forward movement of the army, which
has grown moro decided since the set
Element of the Mason-Sldell affair.
1t is urged that an extended and sue
cessiul aggressive movement can now
be made, and that it would have a
happy effect not only at home but up
on those nations whose policy towards
our Government is at present waver-
ing. The popular complaint of Eng
land, that we are doing nothing to-
ward furnishing her with cotton, would
be stilled she would become less
impatient, and the occurrence of more
emeutes which might result in war,
would be avoided. At any rate it is
said that great victory now would
secure us the increased sympathies of
the greater part of Europe, and effect
ually prevent the recognition of the
Confederacy by any transatlantic
power. Assurances, vague and gen.
eral though they be, are still given
that an advance is to be made, and
that the army will not go into winter
quarters. Gen. Leslie Coombs lately
announced that a great event is impen-
ding in Kentucky, that will result III
a glorious Union victory. 1t is quite
probable that Gen. Buckncr will be
attacked at Bowling Green by large
Federal force, the center of which is
fifty thousand, the right wing fifteen
thousand, and the lett wing ten thou
sand.

Carl Schurz has resigned the Span
ISL mission, and is about to return TO
this country, when he will take a
command in the army. His position
at Madrid was dull and irksome, aud
he desires to engage in more active
duties. A contemporary says at
can be readily imagined that to a
spirit like that of Carl Schurz,
aglow with a patriotic love of the
land of his adoption, every hours de-
lay in the dull capital of Spain has
passed YEARLY, and he now returns to
have share in the actual contes,
with the enemies Of the Union"

Important From Mexico.

The Spanish squadron took poses
sion of San Juan D'Ulloa on the 10th
of December. Vera Cruz was cvacu-
ated by the Mexican troops the next
day. They retired without firing a
gun. Gen. CAST, on landing, issued
a proclamation to the troops and
another to the people, the latter to the
effect that troops had come thithcr
only to demand satisfaction for the
failure of treaties and violence COM
mtted against their compatriots, and
to obtain guarantees against similar
outragcs. The greatest satisfaction
of the army would be after fulfilling
its mission from the Queen, to return
to its own country with the certainty
of having mcrited the affections of the
McXicans.

aud Miramon arc both to go to Mexico.

There are rumors that Gen. M'Clel-
Ian is to be superseded by Gen. Hal
leck, but it is more probable that
Mcclellan will retain his command Of
the grand army Of the Union which
extends from Kansas to the Chesa-
pcake, and that HaIleck will take
command on the Potomac subordinate
to Mcclellan. When Gen. Scott re-
tired, both the general command of
the entire army and the charge of the
department Of the Potomac devolved
upon Mcclellan. This was by far too
oncrous q burden, and we have seen
that Gen. MClcllan's health has brok-
en- down under it. He had not time
to direct operations of the department
Of the Potomac or any ether depart
ment in detail, hence the reason for
calling Gen. Halleck to Washington.
This is our opinion. 1t may be that
Mcclellan is TO be wholly superseded,
but the proof is yet wanting.

OBITUARY.

Died, at Marble Rock, on the eth day of
December, A. ID. 1861, Mary Bloomfield wife
of T. G. Horr, ESD, aged 81 years and m.
Mrs. Horr was the last surviving member of
the family of Capt. John Anglers, U. S. N, of
Perth Amboy N. J. The bereavcd husband
remarked to the writer: "She has been to me
kind and aifectionatc cnmpanion, for nearly
forty years. No one knew, as WELL her vir-
tues and unblemished character, as myself"
1t is the opinion of the family, of the commu-
nifty, and of the Congregational Church with
which she has long been connected that her
daily life ever exemplifed the power of Chris
tianity. Her superior intellectual endow-
ments, sanctilied by the Holy Spirit, cultiva-
ted by education and extensive reading, ena-
bled and melted her to adorn and bless alike
the mansions of the affluent and the cabins of
pioneers. Her loss is seemingly great and ir-
reparblc to the family, the community and
the church, but we rejoice that she died as the
true Christian only can die. The hour of her
death was, through the Savior, the hour of her
greatest exultation. The sun of her life set
stormless, cloudless, glorious.
Jesus can make dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are
Her PASTOR.

be done it would be the right and
duty of this government to detain
them but the eftectual check and
waning proportions of the existing in
surrection, as well as the comparative
unimportancc of the captured persons
themselves, when dispassionately
weighed, happily forbid us from re-
sorting to that defence nor am l
aware that American citizens are in
any case to be unnecessarily surrcn-
dered for any purpose into the keeping
OF q foreign State. Only the captured
persons, however, or others who are
interested in them, could justly raise
question on that ground. 1t would
tell little for our own claims to the
character of a just and magnanimous
people if we should so far consent to
be guided by the law of retaliation as
to lift up buried injuries against ma
tional consistency and national con-
science. Putting beyond me all sug-
gcstions of this kind, | prefer to ex-
press my satisfaction that by the adj
.iustment of the present case upon
principles confcsscdly American, and
yet, as / trust, mutually satisfactory
to both nations concerned, question
is finally and rightfully settled be-
tween them, which heretofore exhaust.
ing not only all the forms of peaceful
discussion, but also the arbitrament of
war itself, for more than half q centu-
ry alienated the two countries from
each other, and pcrplexcd with fears
and apprehensions all other nations.
"The four persons in question are
now held in military custody at Fort
Warren, in the State of Massachusetts,.
They will be checrfully liberated.
Your Lordship will please indicate
time and place for receiving them.

high consideration. ..

A despatch from M. Thonvcnal to
NJ. Mercier, the French Minister to our
Government, is also contained in the
correspondence, in which NJ. Thouve-
nal urges that a neutral flag from one
neutral port to another covers the per-
sons and merchandise it carries, and
adopts the principle laid down in the
despatch of Earl Russell; to which Mr..
Seward appropriately replies.

termined to follow up their advantage,
and, not content with the mere adjust
ment of the Mason and Slidell difficult
ty, will demand the settlement of 9th

pear to consider the present favora-
bic time for them. This disposition
on the part of England accounts for
the improbable rumors to the effect
that England desires to reopen the
Oregon and Maine boundary questions
gain possession of Portland harbor.

course no real foundation, but the
Mexican and Central American ques-
tons, and the dispute with regard to
the Island of San Juan, will now, per-
haps, be pressed to settlement.

The New England Cotton Mills.

The New York Herald of the 9th
ult., publishes an elaborate statement
Of the condition Of some of the lead
ing cotton manufacturing districts in
New England. 1t states that owing
to the rise IN the price of the staple,
numbers of the heaviest cotton corpo.
rations in New England would realize
heavier profits by selling their raw
material at present prices than by the
sale of manufactured goods, even at
the increased rates.
For instance, at Biddeford, Me-, the
amount of cotton now held by the La
COMA corporation is about $500 bales,
which, at the present rate of consump-
ton, will last upwards of two years.
By the sale of cotton now held by the
Laconia corporation, the sum Of
$3.50, 900 would be realized. 1t is true
there is disadvantage in suffering
the mills to lie idle, in consequence of
the rusting of the machinery, the diff.
ficulty in getting hands, and other
matters attending npon re-organizing;
but if the managers get $4,000 or
$4,000 more by selling their cotton
than in working it up, the difference
would still be in their favor
The cotton mills in Lowell have a
supply of cotton which will last them
six months at present prices. Consid
ering the large supply in the aggre-
gate, an enormous profit could be
realized by the corporations if they
sold the material at present prices.
The wooden mills arc also well sup
piled with material, and are turning
out an immense amount of army work
such as stuff for overcoats, pants,
blankets. &c.
At Saco, Me-, the York Manufactur-
ing Company have five mills in the
corporation. They are now running
one of 1000 spindles-having $4,000
in all. They have 1000 bales of cot
ton on hand. At the Pcpperell Mills
at Biddeford, Me-, the largest in the
working 10000 spindles, and
using up $4,000 bales of cotton per
year, the stock Of cotton on hand
amounts to about 400 bales, and as
now working, will last about nine
The Cochcco Mills at Dover,
N. H., have a supply of cotton which
will last until about July, forty bales
being consumed per week, turning out
forty thousand yards of fine goods per
lay. Notwithstanding the rise in the
price Of the manufactured article from |
line to eleven and twelve cents per
yard, it is the opinion of the manage
mcnt that the corporation could make
more by selling the cotton than the
calico. Fifteen hundred bales midland
cotton, for which they paid eleven
cents, and which they now hold, is
worth tl,irty-fivc cents per pound.
At Manchester, N. H., there are
twelve distinct corporations and TWEEN.
ty-eight mills, which have not enjoyed
so high a degree of prosperity for sew
cral months as they now do. A few
months ago several mills had ceased
but they arc now all at
work-somc running full and others
part time.
