PORTLAND, II

PORTLAND March 81.
The Jury from Liverpool the Goth via
Londonderry the 2lst, arrived here at s P N.
President Lincoln's emancipation message
had attracted much attention in England.
The Liverpool Post says there can be no
doubt it will have an incalculable effect in
Europe and that effect will be most favcra-
BILE to the Northern cause. The London
Times, in an editorial on the subject, says
it is the most important news since the split.
The Presidents avowed object is TO recov-
er to the Union the Border States. The
proposition is important not for its intrinsic
likelihood of acceptance, but simply because
it is proposition and the first bid made to-
wards putting an end to the war. The North
may gradually rise in it's offers until some
thing acceptable has been put forth. The
only reply of the South to President Lin
coin has been a resolution Of the Confeder-
ate House of Representatives to burn all the
cotton and tobacco that may be in danger
of falling into the hands of the invaders.
In every point of view the proposal of the
President gives great scope for speculation
and perhaps some glimpse of hope, but it is
for what it may herald and not for what it is.
A general meeting of the Atlantic tele-
graph company was held in London on the
9th; the directors report was adopted and
hopeful views were entertained.
The marine statistics show that in FIVE
months ending January 31st, about So ves
sells laden with -four and grain from Ameri-
ca for England were lost; total cargoes ex-
ceeded 700, 900 bushels.
Advices from France state that additional
troops were being sent to Mexico; new brig
ade WAS to leave Toulon soon.

Presentation Sword to Col. (now General,
DeitZler.

DeitZler.
We were shown on Saturday, by E. JAG
card & Co., magnificent sword, for pre-
sentation to the chief Of the gallant First
Kansas volunteers.
The design, which is original, is full of
significance, and is a most chaste, and as
exquisite piece of art and workmanship
combined, as has ever been our good for
tune to have seen. The blade is of the finest
steel, and is deliberately and appropriately
etched with various devices and notices,
viz: {" Honor to the Brave:" ''In Union
there is Strength" "Libery or DEATH and
the name "George w. Deitzler'' in Gothic
letters. The scabbard, which is of the
finest polished steel, is mounted with solid
gold. On the upper ring is the coat of arms
Of the State of Kansas, brought out in bold
relief and perfect detail, surmounted by the
motto odd 0strG per aspera''-on the lower
ring the initials G. w. D., in embossed or
namental letters, interviewer together. On
each side, and as also the coat of arms, a
festoon of flowers, standing out in bold re-
lief, attached by ribbon. Between the
rings, an oval plate, with a richly chased
border, bears the following inscription:
Presented to Colonel GEORGE W. DEIrzLER,
Commander of the gallant First.
By the people of Kansas, in recognition of his
heroism at the battle of Springfield,
August 10th, 1861.
The tip, in keeping with the above, has
the oak leaf substituted instead of flowers.
The hilt is silver, heavily gilt, set with am
ethyst; one on the end is large and very
fine specimen of that stone; the letters U. s.
are in Gothic, with the laurel leaf entWined;
the thumb piece guard is made to fall, and
by pressing an ingeniously made spring al
the side of the handle, it can be raised OF
lowered with facility; the back and lower
end of the hilt represents an eagles head
the grip is of beautifully carved pearl. stud
ded with thirty -four stars, emblematic OF
the number of States of the Union. The
tOast ensemble is most gorgeous and taste

Senator Stewards diplomatic correspond
ence in relation to the Trent affair has been
printed in England as one of the regular
"blue books" or official reports of the Min
istry. This was done, it is said. at the ex-
press wish of her Majesty, the Queen. who.
in her anxiety to maintain peace between the
two nations. desired that the sentiments and
proceedings of the American Government
should be learned from the words of its own
statesmen, rather than from the paraphras-
es of journals or letter. The perusal of
these papers has already produced sensi-
BILE effect, relieving Mr.. Seward from the
imputations of unfriendliness toward Great
Britain cast upon him by the Times. and
placing the amicable intentions of our gov
ernmsnt in the clearest light.

We suppose there have been several impor-
tant changes in the Kansas troops, within

shifting and changing to give them place.

and there amt soldiers enough. two or three
companies are taken from some other regi-

the officers can be appointed. There has
lately been new batch of appointments,
and among them is 8. E. Hoffman for ed
Major of the 5th Regiment (cavalry) J.
Now, Sam. Hoffman is good fellow, and
in the State Senate did well enough. But
We don't believe he knows any more about
military matters than hog does about GO
ing to mill. He had the most important
qualification, though-that of having been
member of the last Senate, and voting
with the Robinson party. H. B. Denman,
State Senator, has been appointed Lieuten-
ant Colonel of the same regiment, but de-
clines. We are glad he does. Nearly all of
the original Senator'S have been cared for.
Last spring. Lane and Pomeroy called some
half dozen of them from the flock, and
gave them Federal Offices. AT that time,

1t originated, as we learn from the Journ
al Of Commerce., in the rear of Riddlesbar-
gers large warehouse on the levee. Three
large brick stores. each three stories high
and fifty feet front were destroyed before
the progress of the devouriDg element could
be stayed.
The building in which the FIRE originated
was owned by Jesse Riddlesbarger, Presi-
dent of the Branch of the Mechanics Bank,
in Kansas City. It was valued at 81 5, 900,
and is understood to have been insured for
$4,000.
The building next east of Riddlesbarger'e,
occupied by w. H Chick d Co., belonged
to the heirs of Joel Walker, deceased, late
of Wyandott, was valued at S16, 200, and
the Journal understands, was insured for
only So. 800. The loss of goods stored in
this building is estimated at from $l5, 200
to $50, 900.
The third and last building destroyed be-
longed to Thomas Johnson, ESQ; was val
ued at $15,OOO-suposed TO be partially in
