COMPLIMENTARY TO THE YANKEES
The Loodon Sunday Mercury thus express.
es its opinions of Capt. Wilkes, and of the
Yankee nation:
"Capt. Wilkes is, unfortunately, but too
faithful type of the people in whose mis-
sion he is engaged. he is an ideal Yankee.
Swagger and verocity, built up on foun.
datiou of vulgarity and cowardice. These
are his characteristics; and these are the
most prominent marks by which his coun-
tryman, generally speaking, are known all
over the world. To bully the weak-to
trample over every law of courtesy and Gus
wilfully to violate all the more sacred
instincts of human nature-to defy as long
as danger does not appear, and as soon as
real peril shows itself, to sneak aside or
run away. These are the virtues of the
race which presumes to announce itself as
the leader of civilization, and the prophet
of human progress in these latter days =
By Captain Wilkes let the Yankee breed
be judged y

Tur Rp1r1sH AND THE YANKEE N.

The BRITISH AND THE YANKEE Ma
vIEs The disparity between the British
aud Yankee navies shows at . glance the
result on the high seas in case Of war be
tween the two countries. The British navy
is composed Of GIG vessels, $4,000 guns,
80, 900 sailors. That of the United States
numbers 246 vessels, 1892 guns aud 20,
900 sailors. Apart from the pleasant little
diversions afforded iu suppressing the South,
eru "insurfectiou," the Lincoln Cabinet
might we'll ponder seriously under such
circumstances before taking up sne gauntlet
of war, recently offered BY John Bull.

PooR SAMco AMONG THE YANKEEs.-
A negro belonging to Mr.. Chapman had
the good luck to escape from the Hessiaos
at Port Royal and reach his master, IN Sa.
vauuah, last Friday. H. describes the
treatment of the unfortunate servants in
the hands of the Northern troops, at Port
Royal, as hard in the extreme. They are
forced to labor on the entrenchments from
gray dawn until dark, unremittingly, and
are then confined under guard at night. -
Mr.. Chapmau's servant managed to escape
at night-slipped by the pickets in the
darkness, and put off from the island in 9
batteau. He says the negroes ne left be-
hind are in a melancholy condition-sick
enough of Northern bosses.

weather at sea. Yesterday all except three

The utmost activity prevails along our
coast old batteries being strengthened aud

succeed in reaching the Georgia main, they
will do it with ranks fearfully thinned, and
find their troubles just begun.

SALISBURY On. CO. BENEFITED BY THE
WAR.-Salisbury does not present SO gay
and prosperous an aspect on the street as
she did year ago, yet the dull monotony
ofthe street but adds to her intrinsic worth.
The cherries routine Of commercial inter
terchange, contrasted with the busy tap,
ping Of the shoe hammer, speaks a word Of
praise in every way worthy Of her citizens.
She is more justly entitled to the name Of
a manufacturing than commercial town
Eight months ago she had scarcely shoe

they are as plentiful as gros shops 10 a

Efforts to Supercede Gen. Mcclellan
We have already mentioned that great
dissatisfaction was springing up in the
North with General Mcclellan, for the in.
activity of bis army. We have additional
evidence of this fact from the Washington
correspondence of the New York Herald :
During the recent illness of General Nc
Clellan the President has been teased and
tormented day and night by the Jacobiu
club of the Senate, and by their confreers
in the House, to appoint provisional com.
mander in chief in the place of General
Mcclellan. They had the shameless au-
dacity even to suggest two of their own
number, either one of whom they assured
the President would, in the space Of six
weeks, from the.frst of January, attack and
defeat the rebels at Manassas, march on
Richmond and take that city, attack and
take successfully Savannah, Charleston,
Mobile and New Orleans, "cean OUT the
Mississippi river, and utterly exterminate
every rebel iu arms They assumed to
speak for the people of the whole country,
and assured the President that the people
would brook delay no longer; that if this
winter was not marked by vigorous opera
tious aud decisive victories the people would
withdraw their support from the admins
tratiou.

The IRISH FAM1NE.-Although Sir
Robert Peel has reported thatt sreis 10th
ing like famine impending in Ireland,
the accounts from other sources indicate
that there is, beyond doubt, a great scarcity
of food and foel, and consequently much
want and suffering. The latest Irish and
English journals state that the news from from
the town of Galway and the western coun-
try generally is of a very melancholy charac.
ter. The corporation If Dublin had, by .
unanimous vote, called the attention Of the
English executive to the impending fate Of
the people by death from starvation, while
the friends Of their country and humanity
in Tuam and Galway had come forward
With the most generous subscriptions in aid
Of their famishiug fellow men.

DESTRUCTION OF THE NORTHERN MI

DESTRUCTION OF THE NORTHERN MIS-
SOURI, RA1LRoAD.-We learn from our
Western exchanges that the North Missouri
Railroad has been completely destroyed
The bridges at Sturgeon, Ceutrailia, Mexi-
co, Jeffstown aud Warrenton had been
burned also one station, and perhaps twen-
ty cars, from fifty to sixty culverts, large
and small, destroyed; three to four water
stations; 10000 ties !; 200 to 300 telegraph
poles and FIVE miles of iron and ten miles
of wire rendered useless. Where the track
was taken up the rails we're removed, ties
gathered in piles aud set on fre-rails set

rails became heated, the weight of the cold

trains, one having eight car loads of hogs,
aud several cars of hemp, and the other
having two cars of merchandise. -Four en-
eines are also where the Southerners can
capture them. The bridge on Salt River,
the largest and most costly, except the
Pereque, was burnt on Sunday night, 22d
ult. The station house at Jacksonville was
also burned, together with four or FIVE cars.

don't enjoy the humiliating attitude Of the
Yankees in their recent surrender TO John

suggests with good deal of truth, that if
there is anything else the British want,

cakes and confect onary hung on bis neck. Sud
denly a cry of distress arrested the passers bv,
aud turning they beheld the two blind men on
the ground, struggling in a mixture ot candies,
cakes and bonbons. To add TO the confusion,
the two nen, exasperated at the disaster, were
hurting at each other epithets more forcble than

Of some gentlemen, they would have come to
