the surrounding country to see the rare ex-

Of the financial euccsss we will ju.t cay

M0aSon ana Snoous
The rebel ambassadors taken from the Brit.
ish Steamer, Trent, by Capt. WILKES, have
been surrendered up to English authorities.
Dispatches from Washington give full &C.
count Of the correspondence that passed be-
tween the two countries, and the reasons our
Government had for giving them up. From
these accounts we learn that Secretary Sew
ARD considers the question settled upon time
honored American principles, and that while
the emissarics were seized under the sanction
Of an old-established British policy, they were
delivered up in accordance with a principle
for the adoption Of which the United States
has vigorously contcndcd for the last half Gen.
fury. 1t is justly considered that England
has backed down from a position she has
heretofore maintained, acknowledged the er-
ror of her ways, and has at last consented to
become convert to our views on the right OF
search; and that country has only demanded
that reparation which our Government would
have insisted upon had the case been rice
rersa. a.E .a..eaH... ~ t......r .as.-g
The correspondence that passed between
the two countries seems to have been per-
fectly courteous on both sides. II is said,
perhaps with truth, that this acknowledgment
will not satisfy England, that she has other
difficulties to settle with the United States,
and thinks the present state Of our affairs
very favorable for her purpose We do not
think that England will dare force quarrel
upon us now. The honorable rcparation we
made in the Trent affair, has given us the
sympathics Of the other leading powers
of Europe, who, were not disposed to look
with any favor upon the course pursued by
Capt. WILKES, and England would never dare
to trouble us until she had the positive assn.
rance that her near neighbors would not mo.
lest her in such an event. There are many
who will no doubt be very indignant at the
action taken by our Government, ESPECIALLY
the rebels and their sympathizers at the
North, who would like to see the country in.
volvcd in war With foreign country. But
the best men Of the country will be glad that
the matter has been thus anicably settled, by
the adoption of an American principle, and
the backing down Of England from point to
which she has heretofore tenaciously held
Settled by an American policy, the humilia
ton, if any there is, certainly does not rest
upon us. .... ..a.. ..

SAD AccIDENr--We are panied, while
forced to record sad accident at GAINESVILLE,
which came near resulting in the instant
death Of Miss Anna Pattec, formerly teacher
on the west side of the river in this village
On Christmas day, she with her Cousin Mary
daughter Of Col. William Pattee were in the
Grist Mill ut GAINESVILLE and were examining
the machinery accompanied by William
Brown the gentlcmanly and polite Miller.
When they were in the third story by
some accident her clothes were caught in .
cog wheel and she was drown il between the
wheels with great violence, and her instant
death was only prevented by Mr.. Brown who
Immediately seized the wheel and threw it
out Of gear, checking its velocity. She was
severely injured in the side. Hopes of her
recovery are entertained though DR.. Bcrbank
who was called to dress her wounds says her
internal injury may be of so serious nature
to render her recovery doubtful. We most
sincerely hode she may recover.
LArER-We learn that her injuries are not
SO bad as at first supposed, and she is in a
fair way to recover Warerly Republican.

speaking of Gen. SCOTS reception there,
says:
Mrs. Scott, the venerable wife Of the Gen.

for five or six years, assisted at the reception.
1t is probably known that General Scott and
his wife, on account ofmutually acknowledg-

together in the marital relation for fifteen
years and more Mrs. Scott has, however,
always manifested great degree of interest
in all her husbands movements, and they
