partizan rangers, under command of Maj.
Edgar Burrough, attacked the steamer } :.
b White on the Albemarle & Chesa-
peake canal, capturing and burning her,
together with dredging machine and two
lighters, which she was towing. This
steamer is the same vessel which was run
.out from Norfolk to Fortress Monroe last
year. She was on her way to Great Shoals
and was captured at "a place called Bethel.
The crew and passengers we're taken into
the swamp near by and paroled. The
steamer was valued at $50, 600.
Maj. Burrough also attacked the mail
steamer Fawn on the canal, but though a
heavy fire was poured into her, she sol
away.
Commissioner Ould returned from an
interview with the Yankee Commissioner
Merediths who intimated he had no pow.
er to negotiate for further exchange, and
that Stanton always opposed any ex.
change of prisoners during the war, and
his policy was now the policy of the Gov

A gentleman recently from Vicksburg
says the Mississippi has been unusually
low, aud only gunboats of light draft can
navigate the stream. The danger to nav
igation from snags are increased by the
presence of guerrilas, and almost every
vesseipassing receives volleys. AT sew.
eral points a number of boats have been
destroyed. the guerrillas' plan being TO
pick off pilots, when the boats, becoming
unmanageable, run ashore, and are then
attacked, rifled and destroyed, passengers
being left on the bank to 90 whitherso-
ever they can. The navigation of the
river is seriously effected in this manner,
as ne conveys can be sent with boats.
The work of strengthening and increas-
ing the Qualifications of Vicksburg is
steadily progressing.

The London Morning Star. commenting
on Mr.. Stewards recent circular review
ing the course of the war, refers in the
following complimentary terms to Pres
ident Lincoln:
His first official utterance was stamp-
ed with integrity did not indicate full
perception of the mighty change which
he in fact represented. He was ready to
negotiate with these ceders, though not
to compromise with them. He refused
at the outset, with manly decision and
emphasis, to surrender the object of his
election-namely, the limitation of slave
ry. But was more than willing to dis
cuss with them an amendment of the
Constitution; pointing of course, to com
pensated emancipation. The develop
ment Of the idea is the glory of his Presi-
Dental rule. With the dawn of every
sun he seems to have seen more clearly
the relation of negro freedom to the future
of the Union He has used the victories
of his fleets and armes-and theft fail
ures, too as reasons and instrume pts for
the advancement of his great design
ful to bis duties as President-falihful,
also to his functions as chieftain Of the
great Republican party-he has been no
less loyal to his personal conviction. On
the morrow of his election he was describ-
ed, by one who rejoiced in that event, as
not an abolitionist, scarcely an anti
slavery man. II SO, as marvellous as hap
py has been the expansion OF his heart
and purpose. And there is no ground for
supposing that he has nsved faster than
the people he rules and represents. They
have applauded his boldest declarations.
and sustained his most resolutc action
They have imposed virtual unani nifty
upon all sections and all parties. They
have compelled Seward to work id the
same groove with Chase, and Governor
Seymour to cooperate with Mayor OPP
dyke. A Democratic President could
scarcely undo what the Republican has
done The Abolitionsts of New England
find allies in. Maryland and Missouri, in
North North Carolina and Tennessee
Men who went out as soldiers or sailors
without thought of the negro
that was not contemptuous, have come 10
be the lnvincible champions Of his cause
Newspapers which still delight in rowling
niger worship are afraid to obstruct
emancipation. Their ideas and arms march
on side by side. The thought of right ami
mates the sword of victory. Mr.. Sew
ards circular fails to bring out the moral
phases of the revolution whose military
aspects he SO graphically paints. But the
eye Of the worlds mind the eye especial
ly OF the free aud RELIGIOUS England-can-
not but dwell on them with devout graft
itude and hope
