The surrender.


The all.absorl ing topic since our lasi is
sue has Of course been the snrreiider o.
Mason 'snu Srd.p p Grea. Britain.
We harc.sptseFtiiis msler:oyer in eve.
ry form in which we: had ,hs power, and
must confess our inability 10 gather any par
ticular satisfaction. and shall await the re-
suit Of The news Of the surrender in Great
Britain. II ii is received with the favor
there which some seem to expect, we shall
only be happily disappointed. Mr.. Sew
ards letter has many good points and will
go very far toward letting down our peo-
pie from the joy they felt in having cap
tured two arch traitors, and in having tax.
en- them lawfully. But this letter, will
hardly satisfy England, whose tone has be-
come SO beligereat, and so thoroughly i'm
bued with sympathy with The rebels. There
Is little 10 hope from her but uneeasing en-
nifty. She demands the surrender of Ma
son and Slidel as if they were British SUBJ
jects and does not commit herself to the
policy Of such surrender as international
law. Not she.
Nevertheless, having delivered them up
if she still persists in seeking quarrel
with US, we shall be more likely to secure
the sympythy Of other nations, than if it
had been otherwise. But the last arrival
shows more than ever that England seeks
for some preiext to make common cause and
alliance with the traitors. The London
Times dcnounces the blockade of Charles
ton harbor by sinking vessels, as "an unpar-
alelled crime" and attacks the government
with characteristic venom and malice.
II, therefore, we would prevent war with
England. there is but one way to do ii, and
that is to crush out the rebellion in the next
sixty days. Unless this is done, can we
expect anything more Of her than that she
will raise the blockade, and make alliance
with southern treason? We trust it will
prove that we are mistaken in our view of
the Trent affair, and that the surrender
which we have made will make her more
pacific, but at this time We certainly have
40 faith in il.
In view Of this state of things, and of
the new phase which the war is so rapidly
assuming, has not the time arrived whcnwe
should resort to the most extreme measures
within the power Of the government to use,
in putting down our enemies and traitors at
home? So sure as the war is delayed, or
we show an apparent inability to put down
the rebellion, 50 sure we may expect further
insult and Interference from the British.

Mason ana sIideii Given up.

Early Saturday sei,ing il was telegraph
ed 10 Bellows Falls that the governments
had decided to give up and deliver TO the
British authorities, the traitors Mason and
Slidell, and the substance Of the official
correspondence between our government
and Great Britain, on the matter, is given
SECRETARY, SEWARD TO MINISTER ADAMS.
The first is letter from Secretary Sew
ard to Minister Adams, dated November
30th, in which he congratulates the latter
for wisely speaking and acting at tile Lord
Mayors dinner, aud also states that he told
Lord Palmerston a simple fact when in
forming him tina, the life of the insurrec-
ton was strengthened by hopes of its rec
ognition by England and France. and if
their hopes ceased the insurrection would
perish in ninety days. He refers in the
same note to the fact of the arrest Of Sill
dell and Mason as new and unforeseen cir
Governments. If possible in kindly spirit.
Lord Lyons had said nothing on the subject,
and no explanations were furnished Minis
ter Adams, il being deemed prudent that
the ground taken by the British Govern
discussion be had. But Mr.. Seward deem
ed proper TO state that Wilkes acted with
out instructions, and the subject therefore
is free from ADVERTISEMENTS which NIGH
have ensued if the act had been specially
: directed. He trusts the British Govern

i FouslcN OPINION or DAvIs's MISS
kGE.-The Paris Journal DIES Debals ex-
o.es the empty professions and falsehods
IN jeff Daviss message without mercy. or
Davs's hypocrilical talk about liberty and
= lust cause it says: Those are certainly
magnificent words, but in the mouth Of
president Davis and applied to the cause
which he represents and defends, they are
not only monslrous contradiction and a
scandal. but blasphemy.' The London
Times, eager as il is to say good things of
the rebels when it can, is compelled 10 see
Davis's weak points, and says:-
9" We confess we read with some i'm
patience the hypocriIjcal lamentations of
Mr.. Davis, the president Of confederacy
which may be said 10 live, and move, aod
have it, being under the especial patronage
OF Judge Lynch, over the violation of per-
sonal liberty, the Suppression OF The freedom
OF the press, and the Intimidation OF the
courts of justice, consequent in the North
npon the civil w,.r. These things, which
the tSouih regards with contemptuous
astouishpent. the war has moi brought upon
her, because they we're all domesticaied
with her hong before tue war. Nor can we
sympatlize with the lamentations OF men
who have deliberately lit the torch Of civil
war over the cruellies which it has en-
gendered, the miseries which have fallen
upon woman and children, and the attempt
to raise servile insurrectiun. These things
were TO. the consideration of those who first
lit the torch of civil discord. They knew
that civil war is ordinarily as much more
dr. adful than common war rs common war
is than peace. They who take TO the sword
must not complain if they fall by the sword
they whose feet are swift 10 shed blood
mu7i not wonder if they should one day
stumble in their own. Mr.. Davis seems to
imply that by cea-ing to grow cotton the
southern states will bring ruin on all the
interests of foreign countries dependent on
that staple. Ga this point let him undeceise
himself The failure of the cotton supply
Of the southern states is like the loss Of u
