WAR WITH ENGLAND 1t must not be sup
posed that the surrender of Mason and Slidell
does away with the probability of war with
England. Harriet Martineau. in a recent letter,
Justly observes that however that matto1 may
terminate, the two nations viii never be on the
same footing as before. The ill feeling engen-
dered by it will not subside with the removal OF
the exciting cause; and if England, evidently
anxious to make our national distress her oppOr-
tunity, adds additional demands TO those that
resulted in the rendition Of the rebel cOl4mis-
@sioners, they win be met IN a very different spirit.
The report reaches us by way of Halifax
that the blockading of the southern ports with
stone will create new difficulties, and that Eng
land will question our right to do with our own
ports as we please. We do not attach much
credit to the rumoT, but there. is a possibility
that, in her desire to pick a quarrel with the gov
eminent of the United States, she viii make it

FROM the Winchester Republican,
During the visit the Yankees paid to the neigh
horhood of Shepherdsiown, some weeks ago,
when they disgraced themselves by their con
duct at the residence of Hon. A. r. Boteler,
they carried off some eight or nine negro men
belonging to Mr.. Henry Shepherd. After they
were landed safely on the Maryland shore, the
Yankees told them they were then free, and
might have their choice, either to 90 where they
pleased or TO return to their master. The ne
groes having their choice, protested their desire
70 return, when asked the reason Of such a
choice, they stated that their wives and children
were all there, but the Yankees promised TO bring
them over also; still the negroes urged their
preference to return to the home and service of
their master. The Yankees, true TO their prom
Use, set them all on the Virginia shore again, and
the negroes are now at home contented and
happy, fearing nothing but another visit from
the Hessians.
Another instance might be sighted, in the
ease of four slaves of Mr.. Jacquline Smith, of
Clarke, who were taken, or enticed from their
while Patterson's army was near the Po-
tOmac last spring. Two Of them after enjoying
negro freedom for three weeks in Pennsylvania,
became Disguised and voluntarily returned home.
The other two, after serving a Bennsyivsnis reg
iment for three weeks, were sold by the Yankees
to the jailor in HagerstOwn, for twenty dollars
each. Like an honest man, he informed their
master OF the fact, and returned them to him.
We are also informed by a reliable gentleman,
from King George, that two valuable negro men,
stolen from that county by the Yankees had
made their escape and returned home, their
backs mangled IN a horrible manner by the
Yankee Observation-Disclosures. They stated that
they had been required to perform twice the
amount of labor eyer required Of them before,
and in case it was not performed they were cru
ely punished. Their backs bore ample testi-
mony of the truth of their statements.
