EOprtnx 0rrtcp Eth OF

Tue DIPLOMATIC CoRREsPoYDESCE.--In an editorial
on the correspondence now published, bearing the
progress of the war in America, the London Times
says:
The irritation that may be traced in nearly an equal
degree in both divisions North and South is Of itself
proof that England has not unduy inclined to either
side. The latest dates of correspondence leave both
with no grounds for more than remonstrances and
both have much less to say against anything England
has DONE than in favor of something they assert she
ought to do.
The Tme5 reterates its arguments in defence of the
position of England in the matter of the Alabama,
and says:
&c II is the that has been made of the ALBANIA,
not her origin that has made her dangerous. And for
this we not in any way accountable If man is
run through with sword, he may with justice at
tribute the mschance TO his adversarys skill encer
than to the distant workman who forged the blade The
Alabama derived nothing from the locality of her con-
struction that was not purchasable with mere money
The qualities she afterwards displayed not of our
supplying Perhaps they of kind that money alone
will not command But that is question beyond the
reach of diplomacy. 1t underies much Of this ceFres
pondence, but could not be preached in it."

Raising and Outstanding Provisions.

Just before the close of their session, the General
Assembly of Virginia adopted and ordered the pubica
ton Of the following preamble and resolution, offer
by Mr. Robertson of this city. The duty they enjon
the people Of the State is one Of unspeakable mpor-
lance Justices OF the Peace will observe that spe
eal commission is given to them:
"The General Assembly of Virginia, moved by a
deep sense of the importance at this time of raising
above all things, abundance Of provisions and Of
forage for the uses OF armies and Of the people at
arge-eOnhdent in ample resources OF production
as well as in the public spirit and patriotic zeal of our
citizens and fearing deficiency or serious inconveDi.
ence beyond what NAV at all times from unavor-
able seasons except such might result from
confidence in those resources from not sufficiently
advertng the large space Of territory tempora
rly disabled from furnishing its usual contribution to
the public wants. and to other considerable portions Of
the COnedeTaey cut of for the present from their usual
sources of supply-but still deeming it their highest
duty to guard far possible against the chance
Of so great calamity scarcity of provisions, do
therefore,
Resolve, Ist that they earnestly recommend to every
citizen of the State that be shall aim to increase greatly
beyond his usual amount all his agricultural products
of every kind whatever his grain and his grass crops
his live stock his fruits and bis garden vegetables
everything in deed that goes to the sustenance OF man
and beast Hfore he shall apply his labor to any other
rruganty m using MS resources OF food and
bear in mind always TO first what is most per-
shabe in order that he may husband his whole stock
to the best advantage; and they eron it upon, and
make the special charge Of every justice of the peace
throughout all the State not occupied by the enemy to
visit bis neghbors, and urge it upon them to act
promptly and effectively on this recommendation, as a
work Of patriotism sacred duty to the of
the independence and safety Of the Confederate States
and a. furnishing the world the evidence of their
firm and mmovable determination to incur every sacri-
fee aud to omit effort that may be necessary to the
success of tha. holy cause"

February preceding, then recently laid before Parlia-

the instructions of the President:
If such be the Interpretation placed by Great Brit
ain on the treaty Of 1885, it is but just that this gov
erpment should be so officially informed"
And after pointing out the force and effect ascroed
nv the President to this modification of the principle OF
blockade to the prejudice of the interests Of the Con-
federate States, my communication to your lordship
proceeded as follows:

Rebel-Yankee Invention-Its Fate.

The following is an extract from late
Morris Island letter:
Deserters state that the submarine ap.
paratus in Charleston Harbor, which was in.
vented by an ingenious fellow from the
North, who found himself in the enemy's
lines at tho beginning of the war, and since
then unable to effect his escape. has got to
the bottom, greatly to tho regret of tho re-
lief authorities, who hoped by its means to
blow up tho lronsdes. anc drive all the flee.
from tho roads. Thoy report that tho in.
ventOr OF the machine took the liberty of
cruising around with it about when he
chose. and frequently, unbekrown to the
rebels, made submarine trips down the har-
Dor. By some means or other suspicious
we're excited in the mind of sumo of the on.
envy that all was not going right, and watch
was placed on the yankees" movements.
The deserters report that he was caught one
night at work clearing away the distractions
in tho harbor, in order to give our IRON clads
access to tho city. He was Immediately
deprived of his command. arrested, with all
his crew, and thrown into Charleston Jail to
be tried as a traitor. What has become of
him my informant could not state. His
machine was placed in charge of an officer
and five men, and an attempt was made to
operate it. but with partial success. The
last time il was tried the Lieutenant aud
his crew of five men got into it, adjusted
the machinery, through which flowed the
water necessary to sink the machine to the
proper depth. 1t gradually disappeared
from view, and up to latest accounts had
not come up again. Sc the machine and
the Lieutenant and Ave men found grave
together in ten fsthoIns of water, aud have
probably passed from the sight Of men for
ever,and Commodore Ingraham is busily in
venting some other apparatus to drive thu
navy from its anchorage and from his sight

Rebel Terms of Peace.

The Richmond Enquirer. of the 10th
uU., in an editorial upon peace" SAYS:
save on our own terms, we can accept
no peace whatever, and must fight iii
doomsday rather than yield an iota Of
them; and our teams are
"Recogniton by the enemy of the in.
dependence Of the Confederate States.
Withdrawal Of Yankee forces from every
foot Of Confederate ground, including
Kentucky and Missouri
"Withdrawal Of Yankee soldiers from
Maryland until that State shall decide, BY
a free vote, whether she shalt remain in
the old Union or ask admission into the
Confederacy.
Consent on the part Of the Federal Gov.
eminent TO give up TO the Con 'ederacy its
proportion OF the navy rs i! stood at the
time OF secession, or 10 pay-for the same.
Yielding up all pretensions on the part
OF the Federal Government to that portion
OF the old territories which lies ives of the
Confederate Sta,ea.
Gan equitable settlement, on :he basis
Of our absolute independence and equal
rights, OF all accounts OF the public debts
and public lands, and of the advantage
accruing from foreign treaties.
These provisions,we apprehend, com
prise the minimum OF what We must re.
/ qulre before we lay down our arms. That
is TO say the North must yield all: we
nothing The whole pretension of that
country to prevent by force the separation
OF the States must be abandoned which
will oe an equivalent TO an avowal that
our enemies were wrong from the frsl;
and. ol course, as they waged causeless
and WICKED war upon us, they ought in
strict justice, TO be required, accoi ding
TO usage in such cases, 10 reimburse to us
the whole Of our expences and losses in
the course Of that war. Whether this
last proviso is to be insisted upon OF not,
certain we are that we cannot have any
peace at all until We shall be in position,
not only tc command and exact, but also
TO enforce and collect the treasure for our
own reimbursements out of the wealthy
cities in the enemy's country. IL other
words, unless we can destroy or scatter
their armies and break UP their govern
ment, we can have no peace, and if we
can do that, then we can, and ought no
only 10 extort from them our own full
terms, and ample acknowledgment o
their wrong, but also handsome indem
nifty for the trouble and expense caused
10 US by their crime"
