Feeling at Washington against England.
A dispatch to the Times says:

" At the lecture recently given here by
John B. Cough, on London " the eviien-
ces ofsentiment drawn forth from q large
and most intelligent sudiende, was singu-
lar andinstructive. While the most mark
ed dlspleasure was manifested at the con-
duct Of the British Government to owsrd this
country, that displeasure was clearly not
a blind prejudice against the English race;
for the mention of the Queen, as well as
illusions to the people, drew forth enthu-
siastic applause. But there was no mis-
taking the fact that the aristocraey which
govern both people and Queen, have laid
up wrath against the day of wrath, when
ever il NAV be in The. mower of the. .commu-
mites represented In this audiencs-a
really representative one--to repay the
debt which has so recklessly been contract
ed since the commencement Of the rebel
lion"

A few days ago, says the GAINESVILLE
Courier Frank Sturges, formerly of COL
umbus, son Of Solomon Sturges, ESQ.,, Of
Chicago, Illinois, was out buying cotton
in Tennessee, when he made a mistake and
went out Of our lines, and soon found him
self in rebel camp Of guerrillas. He
Immediately called out that the Federals
were upon them and for them to run for
their lives. They did not need q second
warning and were soon in full retreat,
leaving wagon and six mules standing
near by. As soon as they were we'll out
of sight, Frank mounted the wagon and
put whip to the mules, and soon arrived
safe in the Federal lines. He was received
with most hesrty congratulations from the
boys in camp. 1

A Spiral FIuted Nail.

The London Builder says a company
has been formed to bring into practical
use spiral huted nail, recently invented
in England. They are futed and twisted
in a machine, and are manufactured as
eheaply as common nails The holding
qualities of the nails are remarkable, no
holes arerequired TO be made before driving
those Of the largest size, and there is no
danger Of the board splitting however near
to the edge the nail is driven. The spiral
point causes the nail to reyolye as il ad-
vances, and its tenaeity Of holding is equal
to that Of wood screw.

How n Cotton Spectator was Stripped.
A Corinth correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Times tells hard story, in pleasant
style, as follows:
Some adventurous cotton buyer went
beyond the lines to purchase cotton, when
the roVers met him, and said, Ysnk, have
you any change that you know Off OF
course he did not know Of any. WELL
said the chief, as some of you chaps are not
reliable as vsracious persons, we viii
trouble you for your coat; now your vest;
now your pants. Ali you don't seem able
to get your pants off over your shoes, they
are too large for your pants, or your
pants too small for them; you did not have
them made to order, did your No, no,
see take the shoes of frstP sGentlemen
will you strip me naked p said the victim.
Oh, no, we will not take your shirt, that
would be too bad
After some conversation Of q nature the
reverse Of complimentary and assuring
such as Let US hang him. No; put him
to picking cotton, and some other gentle
expressions of admirstion-they pointed
him for the Federal lines, with1the pleas
ing adieu of git, accompanying the ex-
preston with tender incentive of speed,
in the form of sabre, fat side on, where
his flag Of truce kissed the breeze in this
balmy, Southern cline while he, as the
mariner words it, 'scudded under bare
poles from the lee-shore, TO a haven of
welcome rest"

England that eight years ago, 81, ad-
dress was sent to he women Of this
country, signed by half million Of their
British sisters, imploring them to use sll
their influence to abolish negro slavery in
this country This remarkable document,
ID, splendidly illuminated on vellum, with all
the signatures, was bound up in twenty
six felio volumes, and sent to Mrs. Harriet

MORNING GLEADER.
Ohio'I Care Tor her Soldiers.

A Columbus dispatch to the Commercial
says that an invidious compromise has
been made between Ohio and Indiana, as
regards sending medical and other aid to
troops. The stateau-horides Of Ohio have
done all in their power to send sid and
succor to soldiers in the field. The Gov
ernor has agents in Washington, New
York, Philadelphia, and other points. who,
in the event Of a great battle, repair to the
vicinity and take charge Of the wounded
and sick. An Ohio society is in existence
at Washington. In case more surgical
aid Is needed, the Surgeon General, under
orders from the Governor, makes up
party Of surgeons and nurses, and repairs
to the field Withsupplies. All this is done
quietly and effectively.

It seems that the Emperor Of China, like
the President Of the United States, has
been troubled with inefficient generals
The commander Of part of his forces was
accused of presenting US incorrect re-
ports, and of not having opposed with suf-
ieient energy, through negligence, the brig
snds who were devastating our provinces"
Finding these charges to be true, the empe-
ror puts forth an ediet as follows;
1--WE decided that this general shouldbe
informed of our desire Of seeing him change
his conduct. If he had understood all the
greatness Of our clemeney, he would have
endeavored to have only merited our prsis-
es, and to have thus repaired his faults
If he had acted so, he would mot have
made Us repent of having merely addressed
reproaches to him which were intended
only for his good. On the twelfth moon of
last yesr-thst is to say, six months ago
we ordered him to take the field to punish
the brigands who infest Tong -Tehenn and
Chh-Tsiem, towns of the first order. We
did not expect to hear that not a single SOL
dier was sent there. This general, now
idle, lives quietly in the chief town Of his
province, without thinking of anything but
his own comfort, and no longer shows him
self on the field of battle. He sets at naught
our viii. Too confident in our magnanim-
ity, he completely forgets himself. BE is
young, and his conduct is nearly at an
end"
In other words, we presume that the En-
peror means to chip his head of, which
would doubtless serve him right" -

One Of the mysterious things of Paris,
just at this moment, is the strange rumor
ofs plot against the EmperOr's life. In
asmuch as the journals are not allowed to
give whisper Ofinformation or conjecture
upon the nattsr, the subject is discussed
only bywoTd Of mouth; and inasmueh as
the walls have ears the discussion is ca--
ried on in the most grimly secret manner.
The effect Of all this obsurity is to make
every object, however slight, assume gi-
'Zautie proportions. The fact that the IN
auguration Of new Boulevard was very
suddenly postponed has, for instance, Civ
en- birth to narratives Of all sorts Of plots
the full and explicit details of which are
circulated as absolute truths. One thing
is certain, says every one in Paris, and
that is that the secret police are seized
with an activity startling even for them,
and that spies swarm everywhere, making &
it dangerous for any prominent person to
indulge in any remarks upon topics more
specific than the weather and the state Of
the streets

The Nsrrses at Port ROYAL.

The Rev. h s. Wsyland, Chaplain of the
7th Connecticut regiment, delivered an ad-
dress at Worcester, Mass, on Sunday eY-
ening week, on the condition Of the Depart
ment of the South, and the objects which
have been accomplished by the occupation
Of Port Royal and the adjacent country.
He said he had been connected with that
Department. for more than year, having
sailed thence with Commodore Dupont
BE said thst he was rejoiced to state that
no slave had been returned to bondage
there to any claimant, whether loyal or
disloyal. It was the opinion Of Gen.
Mitchell that the islands along the coast
could easily accommodate half million Of
people, and that it was clearly the wisest
policy for the government to let the slaves
work the plantations on those islands.
There are now about 10, ,0OOliberated slaves
in that Department, and their condition is
continually improving. Instead Of being
an expense to the Government, they are
self-supporting, and have made rapid prog
ress in civilization since they have receiF-
ed payment for their labor.

up in Italy which will doubtless make the En-
