The English Tone.

A persual of our last English files gives
the impression of q great improvement in
the tone oe public sentiment respecting this
country. 1t is true the London Tunes aud
Morning Post cannot yet give up their
filings at whatever is done by our Govern.
ment. But so much is to be expected, not
only from the chronics hostility of these
journals. but from the sense of chagrin
which must have followed Their gross
blunders on the Trent affair. They pre-
tended 20 be wiser than the rest of England
in detecting settled design on the part of
Mr.. Seward and our Government to quarrel
with England. With complete refutation
of this notion. large portion of the pres.
tige founded on its discovery vanishes. and
leave nothing but a trial of distrust behind.
The Times tries to efface this by its virtu-
Gus buster about Mason and Slidell and its
protest" against the stone blockade. But
il is a good sign To see several other infu-
entail papers turning their guns on the two
we have mentioned for not yielding to the
improved state of public feeling which the
fair settlement of the Trent case has Justly
produced Boston Journal

That traitor. Jesse d. Bright. has been
expelled from the seat he held By fraud in
the o. 5. Senate. He says he's going to
appeal to the People of this state--let him.

TO make the result joyful. we do hope that
Gov. MORTON will appoint Ex-Gov. WRraHr

satisfaction to every lover of our glorious

10th Indiana about the same number: the
4th Kentucky about 400; Wolford's cavalry,
$50; and Whimore's. Kinney's and Stand
arts batteries about 200.
That the 10th Indiana came up to the
reputation it had made in Western Virginia,
is acknowledged by all who witnessed its
conduct in the battle. From admissions
made by rebel prisoners. it is now positively
known that it was first attacked by three
rebel regiments, whose vigorous onsets It
bravely resisted for nearly an hour. 1t
