E8 We publish in another column the
pith Of the speeches recently made in the
British Parliament, by ex-Premier Pal
merston, and the reble champion Gregory,
on Gen. Buffers famous order No. %.
This sensitiyeness these Englishmen mani.
fest may be considered grotesQue and Peck
spifaan. To say nothing Of the famous
Pakenham war cry Of abeauty and
booty in 1916, before this same New Or
leans, when the Britons didn't defeat Gen.
Jackson, and the employment OF Indians
in the West to scalp and murder, not only
OUT own soldiers, but women and children.
The history Of the wars On the continent in
which England has been engaged, shows
that her generals and soldiers have been
distinguished for their brutality, It is no
torious that they perpetrated the most enor.
nous atrocities in the cities Of Spain,
which they took during the Peninsrla1
Wat, and that with the countenance Of the
Duke Of Wellington himself. During the
late war with Russia, whenever the British
troops occupied any Russian soil, and the
Inhabitants were at their mercy, their con
duct was hideous. One Of the most dread
ful scenes on record, Of outrage by a Ii
censed soldiery, followed the taking O
Kertch. Neither age nor sex WAS spared
from violence, and 4 famous collection O
venerable works Of art was destroyed wan
ton]y. And in India, in crushing the Lat
rebellion there, the British soldiers fairl1
surpassed the sepoys in their bloodthirst!
and Iccptious fury. Look for instance a
the saching Of Delhi. The blowing Q
ignorant and uncivilized rebels from tn
mouth Of the cannon. Sill later were tn
operations Of the British in China. W
have not heard that they were distinguished
| by humanity in that quarter, and if LORI
Palmerston was ever exercised in his con
science on the subject Of the department Q
the troops Of his OWL nation towards til
Inhabitants Of conquered cities, the worl
has not heard from him on the subject.

Truth from an Unexpected Quarter.
The negro, Hawkins, vino was hung on
Friday last, in New York, for the murder Of
Capt. Adams on the high seas, made speech
on the scadold, in which he said Of president
Lincoln:
II believe the President did exactly right
in not interfering in my case. I hold no spite
or malice to any one. believe Abraham Lin
co}u, President Of the United States, is just
man, and so are many Of his officers. They
are ill noble men. He il the best President
you have had since George Washington"
II Mr.. Lincoln should live until he Is as old
as Methusa1eh he can never receive compli-
mint more disintcrested than the above. We
doubt if, In the history Of crime, there is
another instance Of criminal praising the
power that refused to interfere to save him
from death.
The following is the remainder Of Hawkins
speech:
"I stand before you to-day to be hung.

An AnOAt1fe.

The Albany Eue4aing Journal has furnished
very few useful and Welcome quotations to
the pro-sla7ery organs for months, but the re-
turn Of Its veteran editor from Europe has
bcen signalized by q revival of the character
istics Of 1860 81. Thus the Cincinnati Enquirer
copies from its columns and commends the
following as <s from one Of the able5t and
most influential journals Of the North.'' Here
It is:
'.7he chief architects Of rebellion, before it
broke out, ayoEed that they were aided IN their
North. This was but too true, for without such
aid the south could never have been united
against 5he Cn.on. But for the incend;ary re-
ful Helper book Grebrand North Carolina could
not have been forced out of the Union. And, even
are aegEasating the horrors they helped to create
ard thus By playing into The hands Of the leaders
Of the rebellion, are keeping down the Union men
not lmpossib1e.'>
Sentiments like the above, re need hardly
remsrb, meet the hearty appropra1 Of the Al
tany A,yus, which copies the above, and adds:
sit is gratifying to find an organ of the position
and influence Of lie Ereuing JoV,71al giving utter
ance to truths against which too many Of its party
c!ose their eyes and boldly denonncing that erd
spirit at the North which would play into the
hands Of treason and shirer the Union into frag-
nents rather than il in Its design to aboitionize
the country The return Of the vetcraE editor Of
the Journal will be hailed with satisfaction, ii it
is to establish IN it's columns the consistent ad
| vocacy Of euch sentiments"
| Just SO! If the Journal will only keep
straight on in this path, there is no reason
| Why it and tie Aryus should squabble for the
| State printing Just unite the two papers,
| call them 4,yuS and Journal or Journal aud dr.
gus, as may be agreed on, and let the State
| patronage be devoted to the dissemin alton Of
| sound conservative principles aud hearty de-
nunciation Of ssthe ultra abolition press and
| speech-makers.'' When people are agreed as
to essentials, why quarrel about names ~
| 7. Tribune.
Ever since Mr. Weed got to dabbling in
contracts he has been becoming conservative
He may think he can control the free spirit Of
New York, which he formerly helped to ere,
ate, but he Will find himself mistaken. he
may mar good cause. He may delay justice
ond involve the country In fresh perils, but hi
can no more stag the rising tide Of free sent
ment in New 7 Io1k than he can roll the Hud
son back to its sources. II he resists, it vii
roll over him and grind him to powder. Til
is the time to try the faith Of true men. Th
halfhearted, the trnckling, and the hyps
critics, will fall, but the party will be left d?
the stronger for the detection.

rRIBUNR's DISPATCH.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Seuator Morrill,
has prepared bill for the immediate eman-
cipation of all slaves in the District of Co
lumbia, and providing for compensation
not to exceed $500 head TO the loyal
owners. 1t has not yet been acted upon in
Committee. There are about 3, 900 slaves in
the District.
The clergyman who persistently omitted
the prayer for the President from the
service read in his church at Alexandria,
has been arrested.
To correct Misrepresentation about the
interest paying clause in the legal tender
bill, Mr.. Rice, of Massachusetts,, desired an
amendment that she certificates of deposit
might be funded in five years seven per
cent. funds semi-annual interest, payable in
coin.
Mr.. Stevens consented to the funding, but
objected to the words, {" in CON-"
Mr.. Spaulding, with his own pen, struck
cut the words from the amendment. A fair
copy was made, but in coin" was re-inssrt-
ed by the copyist, whoever he was. The
amendment was accepted and adopted. The
friends OF the bill were unaware that the
words, " in coin" were in it. The incon-
gruity and want of principle in paying in
terest in specie on the seven per cent. bonds
and in paper on the six per cent. bonds, and
the hostility of the friends of the bill to any
specie clause whatever, as certain to de-
preciate the Treasury notes and send the
Government into the market every six
months, 10 buy $500, 600 in gold, made
q reconsideration inevitable. The whole
thing was an accidens.

James Fl. Holmes, Secretary of New
Mexico, eleven and a half days from Santa
Fs, brings important dispatches to General
Hunter and Information regarding affairs
in the Territory.
The rebel Brigadier General, II. Fl. Lib
10y, was within thirty miles of Fort Craig
with two thousand five hundred Texans
and artillery, and had issued a buncombe
proclamation. Col. Candy was taking
active measures to oppose him and felt able
to make successful resistance. It was re-
ported that a considerable force of Texans
were advancing up the Rio Pecos to attack
Fort Monroe. An express had been sent to
Denver City for re-enforcemen t. and the
Colorado troops will probably march imme-
aiately. Martial law had been proclaimed
in the territory, and all able bodied men
drafted to serve in the militia. All mules,
horses, and ammunition in the territory had
been seized for the use of the Government.

RoLLA, Feb. s.-News from the West in
dictate that the preparations for 3 decided
blow against the enemy are completed. The
forces for this movement are nearly all con-
centrated at this point, whence it is intend
ed to move against the adversary, and in a
few days the whole command will probably
be on the march westward.
Gen. SigePs and Gen. Asboth's divisions
have reached Lebanon.
Mejor Wright's battalion of cavalry has
moved thirteen miles west of Lebanon.
Gen. Davis brigade was reported to be
crossing the Usage river on Wednesday, and
q portion of it was expected to arrive at
Lebanon on Thursday.
Two of Major Wright's scouts report that
Price has made speech 10 his troops, tell
ing them they were surrounded that they
must fight OF surrender, and that they all
decided to fight.
Price is said to have been heavily re-sn-
forced from Arkansas, and to have collected
large supplies and provisions on the road
leading from Springfield to Fayetteville.
Capt. Wood had arrived at Waynesville
with twenty-seven rebel prisoners, includ-
ing five captains, taken between Lebanon
and Springfield.

specials say the army is still encamped at
Fort Henry, and preparations for further
movements go vigorously forward. The
river is higher, and a part of Fort Henry is
overhowed.
Five more regiments are expected to ar
rive from Cairo in few days.
An unfinished fertilization, called Fort
Heiman, opposite Fort Henry, was taken
possession of. The panic is so extensive in
Tennessee that the river is considered open
to the Union fleets to its head waters.
The late garrison at Fort Henry, have
taken refuge at Fert Donelson, making the
force there between 1000 and 5000.
A Southern mail was captured by Col.
Logan. 1t contained letters from high Of
fcers speaking of the demoralizing effect of
the defeat at Somerset, and stating that an
other at Fort Henry would be almost ire
parable.
The rebel steamer Orr, on being chased
by the gunboat Conestoga, was fred by her
crew, and abandoned. Several other steam
ers are said to have fallen into the hands of
the gunboats Conestoga and Lexington.
The gunboats sent up the Tennessee will
probably go up as far as Florence, Ala
