SOUTHERN INFLUENCE WITH THE EUROPEAN
PREss-The London Nens brings forward evil
dence to show that number of the writers
for TIE English aud Continental press are sub
sidized by the South. We are surprised that
this conviction should have been SO long In
forcing itself on the mind Of our contemporary.
II is now more than eighteen months since We
brought forward facts to prove that such was
the case, and called upon the government to
take steps to counteract its pcrnicous effect, by
either establishing Nortievn journals in the
great European cities or by such other mea.
snres as might be deemed advisable No atten-
tion was paid to this advice and our cause has
suffered accordingly. Of the INSCRIPTIONS
ness of The foreign press in our regard
we have fact to relate which will
show low necessary was some counter
sctirg influence OF the kind recommended.
IL happened that some months since an Ameri-
can had occasion to visit London on his
private affairs, and TO his surprise was wait
ed upon shortly after his arrival by the editor,
OF the London Herald. The latter inquiries
whether lie would be disposed to coniri-
butte some articles on the war 70 that journal,
and. the terms being satisfactory, he agreed to
do so. The articles were furnished, but were
sent back to the writer on the ground that they
were Un:sn, and not secession, in sentiment, the
editor having made . mistake in his man. Of
course the unchecked employment of influences
such rs this could not fail TO work immense
mischief to our cause. Our government, which
had the means Of counteracting them, failed in
Its duty in not using them. II is too late now
to remedy the omission; for all the harm has
been done that could possibly result from this
source.

General Scott once more bcgs to be excused by
correspondents. Rheumatism in the hand makes
il difficult to write. Hence the mass Of unacknow-
lodged lctters-mostly asking for autographs
daily increasing upon him. As IL Is impossible to

not on matters of Importance.
These requests for autographs invitations TO
public dinners, calls to preside over popular
meetings, applications for Offices or for aid in
obtaining Offices, appeals for assistance or for
influence, and similar demands upon time, pa

Of greatness. For these General Scott con-
quered Mexico aud achieved his unrivallsd

We remember that the great English Geld
marshal, the Duke Of Wellington, was troubled,
during the last few years OF his life, just as our
field marshal, General Scott, now Is. In spite
Of the Dukes temporary unpopularity

the mob stoned the windows Of Apslcy House,
| he was never free from the annoyances Of visits
and letters from those who sought to see him or

cled that the universal and determined

there is not a more hopeful class in the

greatest of all political evils, treason and
armed rebellion, by our bayonets, aid
when the Stalls aud Stripes shall be kiss

turn to our ballot-boxes and as surely
correct existing evils in the management
OF our National and State affairs.

IN our hands, and come forth to coouer

would overthrow or divide the American
Republic. We still believe in, and will
patiently bide our time to apply to the
diseased body polite, the wholesome rem

to fear that the proud escutcheon hither-

Although there may be minor errors of

all agree or disagree, viz Shall the con-
stitution and Government of the United
