The Difference.

The Joliet Republican reiteratcs the
charge that Hon. &. E. Boyer wrote a let
ter encouraging to deserters.
Now we dent believe that Mr.. Boyer
old any such naughty thing as that but
even if he did, it was not one tenth part as
bad as secreting deserter in order to pre-
vent his being arrested and taken back to
his regiment
The only man inthiS region who has
been guilty of hiding deserters is the editor
of the Republican himself.
There is some difference between sneak,
ing kindly to deserters, and secreting them
in dark closets to elude officers.
We would advise our neighbor to observe
silence about deserters in the future.

HOW rs TIP

The blockade sales are by no means done
away with. Wesee one advertised for Co.
lumbia, and yet the s. Q. Rail Road can
transport Nassau goods for Importing Cor
porations, while the Government is suffering
for the want Of transportation for negroes
and troops to the coast. Let gentlemen
discuss financial affairs if they please, but
here is the plain cause of all our difficulties
re.enacting under their eyes to-day, and
many Of them, We doubt not, are interested
in the profits arising therefrom. Even some
of aour brave officers" have feathered their
nests amply by their cotton speculatons,
while watching the Charleston bar for iron
clads and blockade runners. This sale will
no doubt, be well attended by those who
cannot venture into Charleston with their
precious carcases, and the stocks Of Yankee
goods that have been failing throughout the
up.country, will now be replaced by later
styles at higher prices. Why are not the
entire cargoes impressed for Government
purposes at least, such asis necessary to
the clothing and comfort Of our soldiers?
Will they wait until the rich importer OBJ
tains. his profits, and then impress in the
hands of the retailer, who dareS to ask a
small profit nso great aventure! Itlooks
like the brokers have determined to sell the
conntry-and the Government consenting

ing is Earl Russells reply to the memorial
of the Emancipation Society, relative to the
steamers in the Mersey ~,
FOREIGN OFFICE, August II, 1868.
GENTLEMEN have received your letter
calling attention to a subject of very grave
importance, viz !: the fitting ont and equip
ping of two powerful iron plated steam rams,
which am informed are intended to COM
NIT hostilities against the Government of
the United States. My attention has long
been directed to these important subjects,
and both the Treasury and Home Depart
ments have at my request made the most
anxious inquiries upon the subject. You
are aware that by the Foreign Enlistment
Act, ships are liable to be detained and
owners subject to penalty, when ship is
armed and equipped for the purpose of war
and the owners intend to use her against
some state or community in friendship with
her Majesty. 1t is necessary to prove both
equipment and intention, and it is necessary
for conviction in a public court of justice
to have the evidence of credible witnesses.
I was in hopes, when 1 began to read your
memorial, that you would propose to furnish
me with evidence that the steam rams in
question pere intended to carry arms and
.hostilities against The Government and peos
PIE of the United States Of America-but
you have made no proposal Of, that sort,
and only tell me that you are informed so
and SO, and believe SO and SO. In fact, you
must be aware, however, that, according to
British law, prosecution cannot be set on
foot upon the grounds of violation of the
Foreign Enlistment Act without afidavits
Of creditable witnesses, as in other cases OF
misdemeanors and crimes, and such Ike.
