they can accomplish loan and conscripton
by April their cause is lost The loan must
be for one thousand millions Of dollars, and the

A COURT or INQUIRY FOR PRESIDENT LIN
ooLN.-In his recent and already famous report
General Halleck not only finds fault with all
our generals excepting Grant and Gilmore,
but he also directly and indirectly accuses the
President of military blunders and mismanage.
ment. We suppose that each Of the generals
thus attacked will call for a court of inquiry,
and have the whole matter investigated. But,
as we have o great liking for President Lin
coin, and believe him to be very good natured
and good humored parsonage, we suggest that
he be permitted to have the first court of in
Quiry upon his own case. This is due, not only
to his distinguished position, but also TO the
fact that he is the object Of the gravest charges
which General Halleck makes. II the Presi-
dent feols innocent, he should certainly be per-
mitted to prove his innocence and show who is
really to blame; and II would not be bad
idea IL Grant and Gilmore, the only generals
whom Halleck condescends to praise, should
be allowed to compose the court. The dire-
renee In military rank between them and the
President might be waived under the circum-
stances. All The other generals, including Nc
Clellan, Fremont and Rosecrans, would haze to
be summoned a. Witnesses. We should very
much like 70 publish the report Of such trial.

SIoNs OF THE TMEs.-It is commented upon
in Europe that at this moment Napoleon tho
Third is making advances to Prussia The En-
peror is at the Palace of Compiegne, where. it 70
remarked, the Prussian Ambassador is kept as
a guest longer than is customary while Lord
Cowley, Queen victoria's representative at the
French court, has not as yet been invited to
Compiegne. This may seem matter OF small
moment to those who are not aware that in
Parisevery movement of the Emperor is scanned
for the purpose Of discovering some political
meaning in it, aud that Napoleon, aware Of this
fact, conveys much to the public in this manner.
The French journals assert that. as England
is doing all in her power TO form an alliance
with Austria, France must seek elsewhere for
friends All this bodies no good to the general
peace in Europe.

RlOt.


Riot.
AS our readers doubtless already know. the
Chesapeake was captured by the United Stat es
gunboat Ella and Annie in Sambro harbor, on
the Nova SoOtian coast on Thursday last Yes
to-day we gave statement of the events that
Immediately followed her capture. Taken to
Halifax by the gunboat that captured her. she
was there, on Saturday. given up to the British
authorities, as she had been taken within the
jurisdiction of British laws. Some of the pirates
captured with her were given up at the same
time and these, while In the custody of the
provincial authorities. were rescued by mob
composed. TO at least some extent. Of "promi-
nent citizens" of the place.
In this matter there are several points that II Is
worth while for the people Of the United States
to keep Ia Remembrance against the day Of set
Element, when We shall come to understand
what our relations with England are. First,
we are to remember that the Chesapeake pira-
cy, like every other crime against our COM
merce that has been committed under cover of
this war, was arranged on British soil aud com
mitted by British subjects. 1t does not appear
that S0utherner was concerned in the seizure
Of the Chesapeake; but it was wholly done by a
party of men OF the kind known as Blue
Noses-men with the cold blood and feeble
circulation Of reptiles-in other words, ma.
tives of the British province Of Nova Scotia
Next, it is to be remembered that when these
blue nosed pirates ran the vessel into British
waters in the same province Of Nova Scotia
the blue nosed people Of that province pur
chased the cargo at prices which show their
completely in the outrage as the receivers of its
fruits-HOur at three dollars per barrel and
sugar at as many cents per pound as dollars
are paid for it in the Southern States. And
thirdly, it must not be forgotten that after the
pirates had been caught, at great expense to
our government, and were in the hands of the
officers of justice, they were rescued by
"prominent citizens" of the principal city of
the same province and set at liberty.
Above twenty i've yoars ago two emigrant
ships were wrecked Oh the coast Of New Jer-
sey, and story was started that the emigrants
had been robbed by the people who lived near.
Upon that slight basis the people Of Eng
land bestowed an opprobrious epithct upon
the people Of that part of New Jersey. and
have called them Barnegat pirates ever since.
How bad a name, then, to be proportionate,
ought we to give to the people Of Nova
Scotia, who thus exhibit against US their sym
pathy with these wretches, and who make
heroes Of common murderers aud pirates and
rescue them from the hands of their own
authorities, We are unable to furnish the
name that should do justice to the subject, and
perhaps, also, 1t may be wise to reserve the
name until We learn, by way Of the English
press, whether or no this is not some new ovatar
Of British justice and the British love Of fair
play.

TIE FRENCH JOURNALS CONSIDER GENERAL
WAR IMMINENr.-The semioficial press of P Paris
seem laborlng under the impression that a
general war must ensue in Europe. These
journals heap bitter reproaches upon England
for her course towards France, and assert that
upon her must fall the blame for all the
unfortunate events which seem inevitable.
A war in Europe could in no way iujurc our
interests; in fact, we may say that q general
struggle In the Old World could but advance
our prosperity. All danger Of Intervention in
our affairs would of course cease, and we should
become the great maritime Power We should
have to do the commerce OF all the world. In
view Of these important events we shall need a
firm and powerful intellect at the head Of our
governments man who shall prove equal to
the emergency; and no one will be better able
to assume the great responsibility Of direct
ing the affairs Of this country than General
Grant That this is the opinion Of the people
will be proved by the unanimity with which
they will elect the General to the next Presi-
dency.

MORE BLUNDERs OF SECRETARY WELLEs-TnE
CONDITION OF OUR NAvY.-Tbe loss Of the Day
light, though occasioned by rebel shell ex-
ploding in her magazine, is, in q measute, at
tributable to Mr.. Welles' stupidity. In the drst
place, It is a we'll known fact that her maga-
zine was above the water line and greatly ex-
posed; and, in the second place, had the Navy
Department been possessed of common sense
they would have long ago built vessels 6t for
such service-vessels Of light draft and high
speed-and then our blockaders would not have
been obliged to run under the fire of batteries
to catch the blockade runners. Nearly three
hundred millions have been, or will be soon.
spent by the Navy Department since the war
began but we cannot see as yet any of the
good results which might be expected from
such large expenditure.
The light draft gunboats are a failure; they
roll on an average twenty-four times per
minute in O sea way. The first batch of double
enders are like crabs going sideways-in fact,
any way but the right one. The new screw
sloops have less power than vessels of three
hundred tons less burthen, while the new batch
Of double lenders, II the performance of the
Agawam is a sample, cannot make any head
way in an ordinary gale Of wind, and must seek
port under their Ice. Had q sensible man,
such as General Grant would have selected,
been at the head of the Navy Department, and
been provided with the same amount of money,
we should have bad to day the finest navy in
the world

THE PoILrIcAL NEMESIS AT WoRx.-The facts
that have been brought to light in the Sckels
cutoff case. coupled with the practical demon
stration which we have had in that of the
Chesapeake of the worthlessness of the new
gunboats built for the Navy Department, have
aroused such general feeling of Indignation
as to lead TO vigorous effort for the removal
of Secretary Welles. In this, we understand,
not only our most influential merchants, but
the leading conservative men of both political
parties will join. Superaddea to incompetency
Of the most garing character. case can now
be made out in which it will be shown that the
Encouragement by which the commerce OF the
country has suffered so severely is chargeable to
something worse than stupidity and ignorance.
The pressure that will be brought to bear on
the Executive will be very great and by any
other man would not be dsregarded; but we
anticipate no result from the movement. The
faulty and imbeClity of Mr. Lincoln. whore
his personal partialities are concerned, pass all
belief What is to be done with man who allows
such influences to interfere with bis duty to
country Had he q spark of tho patriotism
attributed to him he would long since have
dismissed from Office the white bearded old
fool who nominally presides over the Navy
Department, but who is the mere catspaw of
such men as Fox, Lenthall and Isherwood,
now being pilloried in our courts. We abandon
"Honest Old Abe" as hopeless case. We have
puffed him. we have praised him, and have
helped him in every way, but can get no good
out of him. To use one of his own homely
SMILES. he ia a crooked stick, that cannot be
bent, and that will have to be broken.
Strong as is the evidence that will be laid
before him of the corruption and incompetency
of his pets of the Navy Department, we repeat
that it will have no effect on Mr.. Lincoln. To
the 50,OOOOOO already squandered on bad
vessels we shall 60 on adding Sl5O,0OO,0o0
