ANOTHER WARSING TO ENcLAsD.-It
is reported in diplomatic circles that
Secretary Seward forwarded second
dispatch to Minister: Adams yesterday
to 60 by next steamer. similar in its
general tenor to that written upward Of
a fortnight ago, in which Great Britain
was warned Of the consequences Of SEN
ding forth more Alabamas to prey on
our commerce. ....,.i ....5 ..
", This second dispatch is, it is stated
even more decided in its tenor than its
predecessor, and goes even so far as to
intimate that if the British Government
permits the rebels to build and despatch
their piratical cruisers from its ports. il
ought justly to be held responsible. :

ally surrendered therefrom; but subsequent

THE 'OLD UNION SENTIMENT CROPPING
Our AT THE Souri,. The Richmond Ex-
aminer of the 10Th, in an article rela-
ting to the coming election in Virginia,
uses the following remarkable language:
1T would be an accusation too general
and too harsh to say tbat the Wings of
Virginia, as body, have determined.
under loud professions of mo purity feel
ings and purposes. to cast strict party
vote in the approaching election. But
it is notorious, in many counties of the
State, that they have thus voted in re-
cent local elections for municipal officers
and that they are now employing the
machinery of party with reference to 70.
ting in May. .....
This action might be excused to mar
rowness of mind, ignorance of public ex-
igencies, and confirmed habits of intol.
erance aud antagonism, if they confined
their Vaccinations to securing only a
mbined vote of their own ole party as
.ociates. But their action assumes q
villainous character when tho endcavor
to seduce democrats to their support by
appealing 10 the oil Union sentiment
which so strongly actuated the dcmocra-
tic sentiment i'll other days.
by attempting to prejudge them
against the Democratic men as the au-
thors of our present war, and Ivy insinuA-
tons Justly whispered into ignorant cars
that the Wing party could have proven
ted the dissolution, and is now the only
party capable Of restoring the ancient
condition of things, largo portion of
the Wings Ct Virginia will hear of the
policy of some of their associates with
horror and Indignation. But as surely
as the sun shines in the Heavens those
dark pictures and damnable Vaccinations
are busily practised in the name and on
behalf of the Wing party in holes and
corners of Virginia.
The practices thus alluded to are OF u
character so Infamous that it would not
comport with public interest to expose
them The time will come. however,
when they will be brought to light, and
it bchooves the Wing party, as party,
if it chooses to persist in maintaining
the organization through all public vi
cissitudes, to look well to the action Of
secretly working agents and minions in
this matter. If it neglect this timely
supervision, it may find itself some day
covered with stains of infamy and loads
of odium which will exclude its mem
bcrs from public favor aud popular sup
port.

to the President a plan of gnrrisoning

that veteran soldiers now in that depart
ment might be spared for more import

this end, he offered to forward here
twenty thousand militia, and asked that

latter force, equivalent for all practical
purposes, to the same number of volnn-

A CoLD-BLooDED MURDER.-A woman
named Phean, just married, was murdered
at Ellenville, in New York, on Thursday
last, by one William Willis, who gave as the
cause of his bloody act the non-fuflment of
a marriage engagement which had for some
time existed between his victim and himself.
The murderer, in confessng the murder said
that incensed at her marriage, he procured a
knife and went to the residence of Mrs Phe-
len, finding her with her bonnet on, prepared
to go out. He exchanged salutations with
her and said: "You have wronged me-
Mrs. Phean replied that she chad not in
tended to wrong him in the least, and if sne
had done so she was sorry for it." He then
said: 81 lave been badly used" She ie-
peated that she had no intention to injure
him, and if she had, regretted it, and asked
him if he had any thing further to say. He
said, "No." and Immediately drew knife
from his pocket, when it fell upon the floor,
and he stopped to pick it up. Deceased he
thought, had not yet any approximations
about what was to take place; she simply
stepped back a pace. Having recovered the
knife he moved towards her, when she threw
up her hands before him he held her hands
down with his left hand, while with his right
he drew the knife three times across her
throat, after which she fell to the floor and
