The following is Lord Russell's reply:


FoEE.os OFFICE, August a, 1851.
The undersigned has had tic honor to re-
celye the letter Of the 14tll inst, addressed to
him by 3fessrs. Yancey, Ros1 and Mann, on
behalf Of the so-styled Confederate States OF
North America.
The British Government 10 not pretend in
aIy way to pronounce Il Judgment upon the
questions in debate between the United States
and their cdyersaries in North America; the
British Government can only regret that these
differences have, unfortunately, been submit
ted to the arbitrament Of arms. Her afa]esty
has considered this contest as constituting .
civil war, and Her Majesty has, by her RoyA
Proclamation, declared her intention to pre-
serve strict neutrality between the contend
ing parties in that war.
Her Majesty will strictly perform the duties
which belong to neutral. Hct Majesty eau
not undertake to determine by anticipation
what may be tho issue Of the contest, nor eau
sEeacknowledget the Independence of the nine
States Which arc now: combined against the
President and Congress Of the United States
until the fortune Of arms or the more peaceful
mode Of negotiation shall have more clearly
determined the respective positions Of the two
bclligerents.
Icr Majesty can, in the meantime, only ex-
press hope that some adjustment satisfactory
to both parties may be come to, without tho
calamitics which must cnsue in the eyent OF
an embittered and protracted conflict.

The people Of the Confederate States are an

could operate. The commodities produced in
the Confederate States are such as the world

was less than three hundred killed, and
about seven hundred wound. Night having
come on, we occupied the Battlefield, the
enemy having been driven Within his
works.
The Secratary Of War has the following.
taken from the special correspondence Of
the Baltimore .Anrrican
1.-The divisions Of Generals Franklin and
Sedgwick, numbering about 10000 men,
have been landing at West Point. twenty
miles from Williamsburg, at the head Of
York river, and the division of General
Porter is now embarking on steamers for
the same destination, together with the
Rhode Island and other batteries The
river from Yorktown up is lined with steam
crs and transports, and no doubt is enter
tanned but that they will interrupt and cut
off the fleeing rebels, unless they escape
across the James river.
There is no doubt but that the whole army
of Generals Lee, johnson, and Magrudcr
are IN a state Of utter decentralization, and
under the rapid pursuit of General McClel
Ian, are flying with great precipitation with
out making stand anywhere, and unless
they reach Richmond by boats by WY of
James river, they will certainly be intercept
ted or cupsurcd by the Union forces landing

Battle Of Camden, n. G..

On, on we 60, at almost quick time, as if
the salvation of our little army depended
upon a rapid execution of our project. The
haggard countenahces of many Of the soldiers,
however IL II that the march, dust, and hot
sun. are doing mach to cripple us. Say the
ofiic erS, " Be in good cheer, men: we have
not much further to go.'' " The rebels are
evidently falling back to Norfolk, believing
that Burnside s whole army is on the march,"
s' See yon sl..Uke; the rebels are destroying
their camps, and falling back" Still, on We
go, unconscious Of danger near, when like an
electric flash, the sound of artillery falls upon
the ear, and solid shot falls to the left of the
column. The regiment files to the right into
an open field, and forms in line OF battle
The encmy's (" dogs of war" howl tcarfuly,
and their shots fall thick and fast around rs,
their gunners being unusually accurate in
their range. We move forward into the woods,
and are no longer Under such heavy ETing -
During all this time the Fifty first was uusnp-
ported the other regiments being yet back.
Slowly the regiment wcnds its way through
The woods and dense thicket. Our two how
itzrrs brisky reply to the cncmy's fire. The
Twcnty-frst Massachusetts is coming to our
support as we are making our way along to
get on the encmy's left. Meanwhile the
other regiments are coming on the field Of
battle. The Fiity-tSfst enserges from the
woods, and takes position on onr right and
rear, and they, too, open fire. Now the
Zouavcs, drawn up in battle line, proudly
advance, presenting beautiful sight, bnt the
enemy open heavy fire of grape and canis-
ter; they taltcr, they break and come rushing
into our lines. They suffered heavily. The
battle still goes on. Impatient at delay,
charge is ordered, and the Fifty-frst, with
great cheering, advance upon the enemy,
completely routing them and giving to us the
victory. Truly may it be said the Pennsyl-

Thus ended the battle Of Camden it lasted

Correspondence Of Tho Cecil Whigl
LETTER FROM FIRST DISTRICT.

FIRST DISTRICT May s, 80.
Mr.. EDITOR being one of the many
readers of The Wing, and not having seen
anything of late from your correspondent OF
this District, | will give you something of
what has been done, what is being done and
what think should be done. First, then,
with regard to what has been. The election
held at Cccilton, on Wednesday, for School
Commissioner resulted in the choice of
Thomas p. Jones, Esq. The Rev. Henry
Shippers, formerly of North East, has
removed to Ceciton and commenced to
" teach the young idea how to shoot" |
believe he has II large school, numbering
some sixty or seventy pupils and progress
ing finely, while the citizens and scholars
are very much pleased with their new
girls to respect the emblem of our national
liberty while it waves over their heads upon
the house top. The junior preacher in
Millington circuit has taken up his resi-
dcnce in Cccilton, which in one respect is no
doubt very acceptable to the members of
his charge, and hope will be beneficial to
the community at large. Nevertheless, we
think he might have occupied part of the
village more congenial to the feelings of the
members of his charge, or at least a large
majority of them. Surely some member of
the church could have accommodated the
brother, and not have suffered him to reside
with those who do not regard the laws of
men, much less the laws of God for he
that is in sympathy with rebellion is opposed
TO law and order, and he that would swear
to support the Constitution of the United
States, and reserve the right to do as he
pleased afterwards, is not, in my opinion, fit
society for minister ofthe gospel.
Im looking over The Wing OF rhe Goth ult
see that the appointments of Collectors
have been made. ltappears to me that new
officers make new rules. 1t has been the
custom some years back for the appoint
ments to be made in June, which,, ! think,
would have been ir time for making the
levy but all do not think alike. 1t may be
that the appointments will need to- be con.
hrnled at the succeeding meetings Of the
Board, which no doubt would be good
idea, especially with regard to this District ;
for certainly the Commissioners did not
examine the testimony and recommended
tons filed for their investigation. And
here let me state a fact that no doubt the
Commissioners were not appraised Of or
over looked cntircly; it is this, that Cecilton
is entitled to the Collector. The present
Collector is from the upper part of the Dis
trict, while his predecessor was from the
lower part Furthermore, do not think
that those who, having came in at the cc-
venth hour, should be rewarded above those

With regard to what should be done, l
thing the village Of Cecilton should be incor-
porated and the streets made so that persons,
and especially ladies', might pass along with
out getting their feet wet and their shoes
besmcnred with mud, and think the p. o.

the house for the key of the Office before
they can obtain admittance. think also
that the public roads should be better
offended to and made so that persons could
travel without so much Inconvenience
There are number Of other things which |
think should be done: but have not time
to enumcratc them. A hint to the wise is
sufficient.
