The LONDON TIMES ON SEwARp's

The LONDON TIMES ON SEBARD's
DIsPATcHEs.-The Times says OF
Mr.. Stewards dispatches;
We know not how these diplo-
matte revelations are taken in the
United States. We who read them
here, four thousand miles of, and
seven or eight months after date,
can not help feeling they are only
too much of a piece with the con-
duct of the war, and, indeed, ofthe
cause. Neither truth nor success.
neither conviction nor persuasion
at home or abroad-ca ever
come ola perpetual attempt to i'm
pose not only on the world, but al
SO, if it be possible, on the speaker
and writer himself. Here is q
man who assumes to instruct the
entire human race as to the origin,
rights, and prospects of the war in
the United States, and whose conf.
dent assurances as to the dimen-
sions and duration Of the wal are
belied before the words reach the
public. Yet on these assurances
does the argument stand. The
belligerents are not tobe recognized
because they are q handful, and
their efforts just for a day: Here
we stand at theapproach ofanothel
year, and the war is represented by
two immense armies-together hal
a million-looking at one another
across the Potomac, and neither
able to make the least impression
on the other.
The Times ridicules and vehe.
mently opposes the plan Of arbitra.
ton, which the British public is
taking up with favor.

Speech of Mr.. Conklin, of New York,
on the Balls Bluff Disaster.
HOUSE..

Mr.. Conklin, in the course of his
remarks, said: The Government is
spending 100000 a day, with
over 6O0, 900 men in the field
Whenever we have made an adj
vance we have been outnumbered
and ANONYMOUSLY defeated, and
yet the House and the country are
denied the right Of knowing who
are responsible. five can not have
indemnity for the past, in the name
of humanity let us have security
for the futurel Let us know who
is responsible for the disaster at
Balls Bluff. lie said after the
publication of Adjutant General
Thomas report relative to General
Fremont, certainly no publication
of any thing connected with the
army should be suppressed.
Mr.. Conkling was very pointed
and severe in his comments. He
offered a preamble reciting the
resolution heretofore adopted, and
the response concluding with a
resolution that the answer to it is
neither responsive nor satisfactory
to the House, and that the Score.
tary of War be directed to return a
further answer.
Mr.. Richardson said he was op-
posed to the whole resolution.
Mr.. Crittenden thought the
House had no power, under the
Constitution, to inquire into mat
ters purely military; the army is
under the command Of the Presi-
dent, who Is responsible for its
operations. Such an inquiry now
would lead to future similar EN-
barrassments. lie believed that
the whole country has confidence
in General Mcclellan, We had
better weaken orr army than
weaken confidence in the General
in-Chief. An army of hares led
by a lion is more to be dreaded
than an army of lions led by a
hare.
Mr.. Vallandigham saidh would
at all times maintain the subordi.
nation of the military to the civil
authority. The British Parliament
has exercised the right Of inquiry
into the conduct of the Crimean
War, but here the Secretary OF
War had only exercised a discre-
ton allowed to him by the House,
and it was now too late to complain
of it. .. .|eaHagali
Mr., Lovcioy asked Mr.. Wieklifft
whether he preferred the perpetual
ten Of slavery rather than the
Union.
Mr.. Wickliffe replied, he was for
preserving the Union under The
Constitution, re gardlng it's obliga-
tions imposed on every citizen.
He would preserve the institution
of slavery under the Constitution
as declared by the House, and
voted for by Lovejoy, and as de.
olared in the Presidents two mes.
sages.
Mr.. Lovejoy asked if a ship must
be saved by throwing overheard a
portion of the crew, which would
he prefer? g-.'
Mr.. Wickliffe responded, and
said he would throw the Abolition
lists overheard.
Mr.. Dunn said if it had been
proclaimed at the commencement
of the wal that the object of the
war was to overthrow slavery, in.
stead of 100000 there would be
only a small band of John Browns
at the heels of the gentlemen.
After further discussion, .Conlr

Court House Lectures.

Mn. EDITOR II see, by u notice in
your paper, that the :" .frecmen - of Tip
ton are invited to !. course of sabbath
afternoon lectures, "durins the warm
weather." by Moses b. Church, "a natu-
ralist."
I would like to inquire whether this is
not the same Moses Is. Church who pub.
lished, few years ago, 'RcusonS for BE-
ing an hfdel'; and whether he has
ever rctracted that unworthy production?
fit be, as suppose, the same person,
under new and more plausible guisc, it
seems to me that the .Hrst lecture "foun-
ded on common sense to sag nothing Of
common honesty, would require him to
renounce and retract the ras!. and sour
rilous pamphlet referred to.
If, however, as | more than suspect,
he still retains his infdel sentiments,
there is something that locks, at least,
like duplicity, in calling himself simply
"a naturalist" when Profs. Silliman,
Hitchcock, Agassis, and other christian
writers, are as truly naturalists as him
self.
Moreover, there is something implied
in the appeal to 1.-The freemcn of Tipton,'
which al! may not readily perceive. 1t
insinuutes that there are some-pcrhap5
many-slares' in Upton. If so, " ho
are they? All are slares, who recognize
an uneering standard Of truth and right;
and who canno. be turned about with
every wind of doctrine-calling them
selves infdels, to-day, &pirituolists, to.
morrow, and noturuiists, next week
As | know Mr.. Church to be very
nd-hcarted man, and as he claims to
act conscieutiously, at all times, and in
all things, put these plain questions to
him, at the outset OF his lectures, that
there may be fair understanding of his
real position and Intentions

rG- In common with hundreds of
others, we attended the Methodist Church
last Sabbath eve, to listen to funeral
sermon in memory of Ezra McLouey and
I. NJ. Haines, who were killed in the
battle at Pittsburg landing. These two
young men were we'll known here, and
were both exemplary men and christians,
and, as was proper and right, if not nee
essary, the rrcacher, Rev. S. n. Fellows,
spoke Of the cause Of the war, in which
they gave their lives to their country,
and, in doing 90, he gave short history
of slavery in this nation. He spoke of
it as it is, and yet some of his hearers
became exceedingly angry, or were very
much scared. One man who, from the
position he occupies in reference to our
pu bile schools, and from respec, for those
who placed him in that position, if not
from sense of common decency selfre-
spect and good breeding, should have
done differently and set better example
before the rising generation gave vent to
his disturbed feelings by speaking right
out in meeting" To be sure, his speak
ing was not very long or very loud, but
it was heard over half OF the house OF
least. On our way home We heard one
who has been one of the shining lights of
the Democracy, "damn' the preacher
