The Eeply Of our Government to Eng

'RD LYONS TO EARL RUSSELL.
WASHINGTON. January II

LORD LYONS TO EARL RUSSELL.
WASHINGTON, January II.
My Lord: Three days ago, in obedience
to your Lordships orders, l spoke to Mr.
Seward on the subject of the plan adopted
by this Government, Of obstructing the
entrance to some of the harbors in the
Southern States, by sinking vessels, laden
with stones, in the channels.
Mr. Seward observes that it was also
together mistake to suppose that this
plan had devised with view to iniure the
harbors permanently. 1t was, he said.
simply temporary military measure
adopted to aid the blockade The Gov
ernment Of the United States had, last
spring. with navy very little prepared
Tor SO extensive an operation, undertaken
to blockade upward of three thousand
miles OF coast. The Secretary Of the Navy
bad reported that he could stop up the
large holes" by means Of his ships, but
that he could not stop up the "smaIl
ones. 1t had been found necessary,
therefore, to close some of the numerous
small Inlets by sinking vessels in the
channels. 1t would be the duty of the
Government of the United States to re-
move all these distractions as soon as the
Union was restored. it was well under
bent on the Federal Government
AT the end of the war with Great Britain
that Government had been called upon 10
remove vessel which had been sunk in
the harbor of Savannah, and had recog-
nized the obligation, and removed the
vessel accordingly Moreover. the United
States were engaged in a civil war with

that, as an operation in var it was unusti
liable 10 destroy permanently the harbors

been done on the present occasion. YES

How THE WAR AFFECTS Mas. LIxcoLy.-
The gaiety and amusement constantly 60

which Mrs, Lincoln is SO deeply wrapped.
calls forth considerable comment from Ill e
press. The Ladies Repository "a Metho

One OF the saddest evidences o. our so

depth and extent Of that demonstration.

ruin and misery of the country which pre-
walls at Washington That unconciouspess

woman ever had better opportunity 10
show how much a patriot mother could do
for her country than Mrs Lincoln 1t is
said that the golden opportunity is thrown
away
The Washington correspondent Of the
y y. Post says
Prom Mrs. Lincoln driving in her cau

slightest seriousness anywhere that have
been able 10 discover; 1T is all fun. And
any one who looks or speaks earnestly OF
the critical condition OF affairs is regarded
as a bore by all but some of the few older
heads. The mouruful faces are all at the
homes that the war has made desolate"
We should be glad to believe that this
was an overweight picture, but private
advlces leave us 10 room to doubt Even
the White House is made the scene of
Hermann wizard feats; and all the while
our soldiers are sick. suffering and dying

HISTORICAL INCIDENT In recent speech
in the L. S. Senate, Andy johnson. the
patriotic Senator from Tennessee, alluding
to the defeat of the Crittenden compromise
in the winter of 1861, made the following
statemont Towhat strange combination
the country owes its present calamities !
Here was measure which all the Senators
now agree would have ssyed the country
1t was opposed by Hale and his abolition
gang in the Senate; but could have been
carried by the aid Of few Senators from
the South Unhappily they, too We're enc
mics OF their country, and aiding the abo-
litionists by Withdrawing their votes for
the measure, it was defeated Which
were the greater criminals?
sat right behind Mr.. Benjaman and l
am not sure that my worthy friend was
not close by, when he refused to vote, and
said to him. Mr.. Benjaman, why do you
not vote Why notsave this proposition,
and see if we cannot bring the country to
itY lie gave me rather an abrupt answer,
and said he would control his own action
without consulting me or anybody else
said /, vote, and show yourself an honest
man" A. soon as the vote was taken, he
and others teIegrapned south; We can
not get any compromise. Here were SIX
southern men refusing to vote, when the
amendment would have been rejected by
four majority if they had voted; Who,
then, has brought these evils on the couu-
try Was it Mr. Clark? He was acting
out his own policy; but with the help we
had from the other side of the chamber, if
all this side had been true to the const;tu-
tion. and faithful to their constituents, and
mad acted with fidelity 20 the country, the
amendment of the senator from New
Hampshire could have been voted down,
the defeat of which the senator from Dele
ware says, would have saved the country.
Whose fault was it? Who is responsible
for it? think that is not. only getting
the nail through, but clenching it on the
other side, and the whole staple commodity
is taken out of the speech, Who did it !?
Southern traitors as was said in the speech
of the senator from California. They did
it. They wanted no compromise. They
accomplished their object by withholding
their votes; and hence the country has
been involved in the present difficulty.
