and place some one there who could
provide for the capture Of these priva-
teers, we would act with some discre-
ton. -Four comparatively insignificant
armed vessels, under Confederate man
agement, have successfully defed the
immense navy which Mr.. Wellos' adj
mirers point TO with exultation. The
ravages upon our commerce are more
disgraceful to us than England. The
Administration has neither the capac-
ity to drive England into position
which will justify a declaration of war
on our part, nor to protect our COM
mercc from the priyateers she sells the
Confederates.

English Neutrality.

From the day the first gun was fred
al Fort Sumpter TO this, England has
socretly and continually given aid to
tho rebellion. Without committing
any oyort act TO justify us in declaring
open war upon her for violating treaty
rights, she hassurreptitiously furnished
ourencmios with ammunition, a1msand
ships. II may be that no official no
tice has been furnished TO her, but
abundant and frequent knowledge has
been laid before her upon which she
might with propricty and justice have
acted. The ammunition she furnish
cd has been captured by our victorious
armies on many hard fought field.
The arms placed in the hands of our
enemies have often and again become
trophies to the valor of the United
States troops. The ships of war fitted
out and armed at her ports, and sold
TO our enemies, have preyed upon our
commerce, burned our ships, murdered
our seamcn and insulted our flag
And now while the sinking Of our
Merchantmen is fresh in our memories,
there are two more iron-clad ships of
war lying in the river Mersey nearly
ready for sea. 1t is known here that
thoy are designed for rebel pirates,
and if here, why not in England ?
And il in England, why ore steps not
taken to prevent such unlawful bust
ness. In addition TO the above there
is also an iron-clad sloop of war well
under way in ship-yard at Liverpool,
and five others in various stages of
construction upon the Clyde. Should
England permit these to depart and
enter tho rebel service, and they be-
come as effective as the Alabama has
been, they would soon wipe out our
last sail, and leave us without the
means Of carrying on our commercial
relations with the world. Even the
London Times, n strong sympathizer
with tho rebels, hopes steps may be
taken to prevent their departure. In
view Of these facts what ought our
Government to do? Declare war
against England for violating neutral
rightsY If instead of declaring war
"a should eiect tho Rip Van Winkle

NApoLEoN's ONLY SOLDIER AT Bo-
LoGSE.-An obituary contains the
name of man who played part in
a rather celebrated episode of the ca
reer of the present French Emperor
When Prince Louis Napoleon landed
at Blogne in 1880, the only person
belonging to the garrison who ranged
himself under his flag, was a Iieuten-
ant of Infantry named Aladenise, who
was afterwards tried at the same time
as his chief and sentenced to imprison-
ment.
After tho revolution Of 1S4S he
commanded battalion of the Garde
Mobile, and when the dissolution of
that force was proposed by Gen. Chau-
GARNER, he violently opposed it as an
injustice to men who had, he main
tanned, rendered signal services to their
country. But Chaugarnier was at
that time the right hand man of the
President of the Republic, and his will
prevailed in carrying out measure
which had already been fully decided
upon. The then President with his
usual good memory for services rem
dered or adherion shown, gave Aladen
Use a consulate, and since then he has
held superior post in the admins
tration Of telegraphs. His death is
now announced.

GOODNESS OF OUR SOLDIERS UNDER
FrRE.-History is full of anecdotes of
the remarkable nerve and indifference
displayed by soldiers of different ma
tons when under fire. Ii is to be
hoped that the future historian Of the
present war will not omit to chronicle,
among other incidents the following
paragraph illustrative of the qualities
referred to: ave asked On officer IF
the loss of life had been great from

them as joke; there will be one along

hello, old fellow Plash and the
shell buried itself in the ground,
throwing the dirt over the tent and
some of the pieces falling within reach
of us--the hole only twenty feet from
the door. They laughed heartily,
why, he could not tell; it was anything
but amusing to us. We were about
to bid them good day, when they kind
ly invited us to stay and See anoth-
err. 1t will not be long geetlemen,
there will be another in fifteen min
utes; don't hurry. We did not see it
in that light, and sped on our adven-
furious way. Had the ground been

INDIAN TRouBLEs.-A dispatch from
Brig. Gen. Sibley, under date of 18th
inst, states that on the day previous
he surprised over 400 lodges of hos
tile Indians, fought and dispersed
them, killing over 100, destroying all
their camps and property and took
many prisoners. 1t is also said that
q population of seven Sioux Chiefs
had waited upon Father Andre, a
Catholic Clergyman, and wished him
to inform Gen. Sibley that the Indians
desired to make peace with the whites,
and as a condition were willing to de-
liver up every Indian who has engag-
ed in the masacres. Father Andre
says the Indians are in an extremely
destitute condition, and many Of them
must starve the ensuing winter
Father Andre has been out on the
plains with hunting expedition, and
saw the Indians since the fights on
the Missouri.

NV YonK, Sept. 90.
A Morris Island letter reports the
rebels extremely busy in repairing
Sumpter. Steamers are constantly
plying from that city with materials
therefor A deserter SAYS after
strengthening Sunpter and planting
more batteries on james Island, Bue-
regard intends to assume the oflen-
sive, in order if possible, to gain pos
session of Morris Island.
Charleston is said TO be fun Of rebel
troops. Other accounts state that it
may be week yet before Gilmore
-r~n open FIRE upon Charleston. The
mounting of guns proves very slow
work under the fire from the rebel
batteries on James Island, but our
losses therefrom are trifling.
Gen. Gilmore had issued congrat-
ulatory order TO his troops, on the
capture of Morris Island, in which he
says the city and harbor of Charles
ton lie at the mercy of our artillery.
The explosion of n rebel magazine
near Fort Johnson is confirmed.

FoRT MoULrRIE.--Fort Moultrie is
situated on Sullvan's Island, opposite
Fort Sumpter, but further up the har-
Dor, and about one and half mile
distant. 1t is, properly speaking, a
huge mortar battery, with auxiliary
works, having no easements, but with
immense bomb proofs. Its anna
ment originally consisted of eleven
heavy guns and several mortars.-
The outer and inner walls are of
brick; but since the rebels have had
possession of it it has been backed up
and strengthened with sand bags.
The walls are filled with earth and
biicked with stone, making a solid
wall about sixteen feet in thickness
The work was much strengthened pre-
vious to the bombardment of 1861,
and was in command of Maj. Ripley,
formerly of tie United Utrtes Amy.
Fort Moultrie mounts fifty guns, a
few of which are bomb proofs, while
others are protected with sand bag
ramparts and traverses. A new bomb
proof was erected about one year ago,
on the parade ground, for the soldiers
to retreat to when hard pressed 10y
hostile shells. With this exception
there has been no important altera-
ton made in the work. 1t has been
said by our naval officers who took
part in the iron-clad attack of April,
1863, that if they could pass Moul-
trie, there was nothing in the harbor
could prevent the capture OF the Other
forts and Charleston.

II that were all, then it were well, but
who can forget tho practices of the
administration in arre5ting and inn
prisoning mon for exercising the a" in
alicnable right" Of free speech. Who
can forget the partisan course pursued
by Gen. burnside in suspending the
circulation of certain papers that eX-
pressed views differing from his. We
do not mean TO say the administration
was blamoablo for this, for it did not
sustain him, but this suspension Of the
WRIT Of Habeas Corpus puts into the
hands Of such partisan officers, the
power to report such acts to the dct-
rimcnt of the liberty Of good and true
mon.
If all men acted honestly and with
out any partisan feeling, il the admin
istration acted upon the spirit Of
Wasliugtou's farewell address. "Nev-

too great body Of the citizens Of any

misguided opinions, commit mistakes;
they may be misled for time by the

no fear among the people that this high
handed assumption of Hpwcr was a
blow at their sacred liberties
Blu. as long as our government is
only partisan concern, run for par
tisan purposes, well may the oppo-
nonts Of that power fear the result Of
such an act. So long as it is usel to
make the military power more eAec-
tive, it can do no harm, but when it is
made the engine for restricting the
freedom Of discussion in this Country
then it is an act of tyranny worthy of
tho days Of Nero.
