How THE NAIL Boat ALTON WAS SAVED.
The ST. Louis Democrat tells of a heroic
woman at Commerce, Missouri, who saved
the mail boat Alton, a few days since. AS the
Alton approached the landing at Commerce, u
woman was seen Oh shore, gesticulating vio-
lenty. Presently, when the boat was close
in, the woman's voice was heard, shouting to
the captain Don't stop here JEFF. Thomp.
son and his men are here, ready to shoot
your The boat was Immediately put about
and at once Thompson's band rose from con.
cealment and fired a yolley at the boat, trying
to kill the pilot. The. balls hit the boat, but
nobody was hurt. Tie Alton went down the
river again, couple Of miles, procured
quantity of muskets on the Illinois, made
every thing ready for a fight, aud returned to
Commerce. But Thompson and his scamps
took to-their heels.
They had intended to seize the cargo and
burn the boat, but their scheme was frustrated
by the heroic behavior of Mrs Eversoll, as
above stated. The would be incendiaries en-
deavored to stop her from warning off the
boat, but being something of an Amazon, SHE
cast from her, right aud left, the baltstarved

If war does not take place between Great
Britain and the United States, it will not be
the fault Of the English press. Its tone and
temper in regard TO the Trent affair have been
most atrocious; intended and well calculated
to excite the bitterest animosity on both sides.
1t is pleasant TO observe some honorable eX.
ceptions. The London Morning Star has
throughout our whole contest with the rebels,
treated upon American affairs in a liberal and
honorable manner. Almost every daily issue
has contained an able article reuting the ma
licious misrepresentation and abuse of its
contemporaries, and defending the cause of the
north. In the issue of Dec. Sd, it says =
"Take the language Of more than one member
of our daily press-translate it into colloquial
tongue-and say if it does not mean-'Now is
the time to whip these nsolent republicans
Now we have both the quarrel and the oppor
tunity! They have Numbered into an offense,
and they are powerful against our superior
arms They cannot invade Canada and Vr-
GINA at same time. They cannot make war
at once with one third OF their own people,
and the greatest power in Europe II any
other meaning can be put upon the articles
published by half our contemporaries yester-
day, we shall be glad to hear it."
SIT is thus we are represented by men who
profess zeal for English honor, but are really
inspired by hatred OF American institutions
These men have counted up the Sights that
have been put upon us by southern suprema
cy, and now would avenge them upon north
ern freemen. We have had much to bear
from men whoawere republican in little but
name, themselves bred on the slave planta
tions, and tutored in the shareholders impa-
thence OF restraint. But we will not be hur-
ried into death struggle with that new nation
of twenty millions, which is striving to recover
the American Union TO the cause OF universal
freedom and humanity"
