John Bull and JEFF. Davis are turned top
sy turvy by the discharge of Mason and Sill
dell. Here was patched up a paltry pretence
for belligerent co-partncrship between
Queen Vic and King Cotton, for the pur-
pose Of putting down the only Free Govern
ment on earth, Government that by its
example of free institutions, rapid growth
and the pervading prosperity and happiness
Of its people, was fast sowing the seeds Of
disaffection in the crumblipg dynasties Of
Europe.
In his letter to Lord Lyons Secretary Sew
ard has sent hot shot into tho magazine
Of British diplomacy blowing to flinders all
its former claims to the right Of search and
convictipg that great nation Of bald and ar
rogaut duplicity in the eyes Of the whole
world. AS for Mason and Slidell, Seward
wellremarks they are not worth contending
about as persons. They can go TO England
to Botany Bay, or to the bottom Of the sea,
and the country they leave will be relieved
Of two great rascaIs. They have felt Fed
eral power, have been cooPed up with reb-
els and robbers for some weeks and now
can skulk away 70 a monarchical govern
ment, not daring TO trust their precious
carcases in the country they have cursed.

No Priaoners Tnken.

Gen. Lano and his Kansas Brigade dis
continued the foolish fashion of swearing
rebels and letting them go, and we see his
course is being followed by other loyal COM
mands in Missouri. The st. Louis Demo
crdt of the Gath has this significant para
graph:
A gentleman down last night on the Pa
cific Railroad, states that day or two ago
two companies of the first Mirsouri Cavalry
went out on scouting expedition into Sal
inc and the lower end of Lafayette counties.
Our informant says, significantly the expe-
dition brought in no prisoners. They
think, though, that Saline county is to-day
less one hundred rebel scroundrels. The
cavalry lost four men.

SnoorINe REBEL,-A letter from Wes-
ton Mo-, furnishes tho following incident:
awhile the men were busy in loading the
goods, information was received that a no.
torous rebel named Phil. Bucher, employed
by Price as dispatch bearer, who, week
before, had narrowly escaped capture, was
in town. When pursued previously he had
to leave his horse and since sent message
to the Lieutenant commanding the squad,
that he (the Lieutenant) was dead man,
so he might make his arrangements ac-
cordingIy. BY the way, the Sccesh pony
became prisoner of war to the Lieutenant
Maj Leo detailed this officer and four men
to find him. He broke from the house in
which he was hid, and was shot thr ough the
heart by Lieut.. Hoyt Of John Brown, Jr.',

Tho body was left where he fell"

An Importamt suggestIon.

The Milwaukee Sentinel suggests that in
asmuch as Great Britain has been very
prompt in forbidding upon the first alarm of
war, the expectation Of arms and the constit-
uents of gunpowder, she presents an exam
pie which it is advisable to initiate in this
country. 1t is stated that the purchases of
ship timber in the United states for the
British Admiralty have been SO heavy as To
nearly clear the market, and vast quantities
arc actually stored, awaiting transportation.
Owing to the war, the supplies Of live-oak
timber, which came from the South, have
been cut off, and at this moment, when
Congress is about to urge the most ener-
getic measures for doubling the navy, it is
almost impossible for the American ship.
builder TO find material for single vessel.
To stop this exhaustion of strength for the
benefit Of foreign, and possibly hostile
power, will not bo the dictate of retaliatory
policy, but of policy which looks TO the
safety Of our own people before that Of the
stranger Tho Government cannot act in
the matter too early.

Sr. LOUIS, Mo-, Dee o7.---The following
is a review Of recent military operations in
Missouri, obtained from reliable sources:--
Within the past two weeks the Union army
has captured twenty-five hundred rebels, In
cludiug about 20 commissioned officers,
1900 horses and mules, 100 stand ofRrms,
2 tcOs Of powder, 100 wagons, an immense
amount Of commissary stores and camp
equipage. A large foundry at Lexington
used by the rebels for casting cannon, shot
and shells, and most Of the rebel craft iu
Missouri, including ferry boats, have been
captured or destroyed. A pretty clean
sweep has been made Of the whole country
between the Missouri ond 0sagc rivers, and
Gen. Price cut off from all supplies and re-
cruits from North Missouri. He is in full
retreat for Arkansas with bis whole army,
having passed through Springfield on Mon
day last.
Our loss 10 accomplishing these import
ant results has not exceeded 100 in killed
and wounded.
Maj, Glover just returned from scout in
Camden county with 10 wagon loads Of
subsistence, rebel Captain and IS men,
who left Prices army since his retreat.

THE NEoRo CoDE OF THE DIsTRIcT.-In
the District of Columbia the barbarous old
black code of Maryland is said TO be still in
force. Among the laws is the following
act, passed in 1929:
When any negro or other slave shall be
convicted, by confession or verdict of a jury
of any petit treason, or murder, or willfully
burning Of dwelling houses, it shall be law
ful for tho justices before whom such con-
viclion shall be, TO give judgment against
such negro or other slave, to have the right
hand cut off, 10 be hanged in the usual man
ner, tho head severed from the body, the
body divided into four quarters, the head
and quarters set up inthe most public places
ofthe country where such act was committed.

English Views OF shs Port Royal Rxpo-
Afagne-

English Views OF the Port Royal RxPo-
dillon.
The London Times says that tho expe-
ditiou to Port Royal was conducted With
great ability, and so far as a landing upon
tho Southern Coast is concerned, il was a
complete success, but tho question of its
importance will be settled by the answer TO
the other question is the Confederate army
on the Potomac tho solo reliance Of the
Confederatesi II il il, aud il the landing
at Port Royal will cause withdraw from
that army for coast defence, then the blow
will be n serious, il not fatal one to the
rebel cause. II, on tho other hand, that
army can still stand at the door of the South,
in sufficient numbers to keep Mcclellan out,
the Port Royal affair will be but the repc-
ttion on larger scale Of the capture Of
Fort Hatteras. Over that there was great
rejoicing and great expectations of the re-
suits to be accomplished, and yet, tho reb.
els hold their ground upon tho Potomac,
and the name Of Hatteras has hardly been
heard since its occupation. Unless more
activity is manifested by Gen. Sherman, We
fear the Times will have cause to repeat
these observations regarding Port Royal.
The London Post, the Government or
gan, discusses the cotton aspect Of tho ex.
pedition. 1t sees hope for tho markets Of
England and France in tho fact that our
troops have secured some Of the islands
where the finest varities Of sea island cot
ton is procured If there is probability of
the employment of sufficient force (of ne
groes who have escaped to our lines) to cul.
tivate this cotton, it will result disastrously
to tho South, and render nugatory the en-
barge which the authorities have laid upon
the planters crops They would be starv-
ing themselves without even starving their
antagonists, and without restricting Eng
land and France Of certain supply. This
fact renders the occupation Of these islands
Ia great political and commercial advantage
to the North. The Post then says that
there are more bales Of Gotten now in store
at Liverpool than there were in November,
1860, there being now $4,000 bales,
against 575,44o a year ago.
The London Star says that party of
loyal Unionists we're to entertain Gen. Scott
at banquet held in honor of tho victory
at Port Royal.

From WashinRton.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The decision OF
the President in the Trent affair rs an
nounced and explained in the despatch of
Secretary Seward, has the approval of every
member Of the Cabinet. Tho IDteligencer
in an article apparently semi-official, says
whatever may be the Disappointment of any
at the result at which tho Administration
has come in settling a question which con-
stitutionally devolvcd upon the Executive
of the Government, we are sure that all
will applaud the firmness and sincerity Of
the Administration. The Intelligencer in
conclusion says, whatever therefore may be
said by any in the way of exception to the
extreme terms of the demands made by the
British in the case of the Trent, it is at least
just to admit that the case has been so ad-
justed by our government as to subserve,
we would hope, tho great cause of neutral
rights against the assumptions heretofore
asserted by England but now rcpudiatod by
that power in common with France and the
United States. Tho law of nations as
traditionally interpreted by our government
has received new sanction; though at the
cost it may be of some national sensibili-
ties, walked into disproportionate activity
by the temporary exacerbations Of our civil
feuds. The latter, let us remember, arc
but for day; the law ofnatious is for time
WAsHINGToN, Dec. 3l.-Senator Har
lan's bill, establishing provisional govern
ments in tho rebel States, save Virginia
will not only reduce those States to terri
torial condition, but put stop TO the entire
interstate slave trade, free the slaves here
after born, and divide the public lands anc
other property of the States amongst thu
notional soldiers, sailors and marines.
In letter to the American Minister al
st. Petersburg forwarded by the last steam
er Prince Gortschakoff says: "The Emper.
or has never ceased TO avow his hope fol
the grandeur of the American Union"
1t is reported that Gen. Halleck will be
assigned the command of the Potomac army.
Rumor says that Great Britiau will de-
mand that Wilkes be reprimandcd.

Arnns from Abroad.

Arms and ammunition continue to arrive
from Europe. The Teutonia which reach
ed New York on the gath, from Hamburg,
brought over $4,000 stand of arms to the
government, principally rifles, the largest
portion of which came from Austria. The
Hanss, of the Bremen line, brings about
the Same number, shipped in great meas
ure from England and Franco. Besides
these arms, the steamer Damascus has
brought large quantity of lead from Liver
pool, amounting to about l4O, 600 lbs, aud
about 5000 stand Of arms. Within tho
past four or five months not less than $50,
900 stand of arms have come TO us from
Europe. This will give us all the arms we
require for tho prosecution Of the war, Of
which our army stood SO much in need here
tofore.
