british Opinion of President Lincoln

The London Morning Star, commenting on
Mr.. Stewards recent circular reviewing 'he
course Of ,he war, refers in the following COM
plimentsry terms TO President Lincoln:

with integrity, hut did not indicate fnll
perception of the mighty change which he
in fact represented He was ready to nc.
rotiate with the seceders. though not to

glory of his Presidential rule. With the
dawn of every sun he seems to have seen
more clearly the relation of negro freedom

faithful, also, to his functions as cbieftain of
the great Republican party-he has been
no less loyal to his personal convictions.
On the morrow of his election he was de-
scribed, by one who rejoced in that event,
as mot an Aboliiionist, scarcely an Anti.
slavery man. If so, as marvellous as hap

purpose And there is no ground for sup
posing that he hos moved faster than the
people he rnles and represents. They have
applauded bis boIdest declarations, and sus
tanned his most resolute action. They have
imposed virtual nnanimity upon all sec

sailors without thought of the negro that
was not contemptuous have come to be the
nvincible champions of his cause. News
papers which still delight in reviling niger
worship are afraid to o6struct emancipation.
Their ideas and arms march on side by side.
The thought of right animates the sword of
victory. Mr.. Stewards circular fails to
bring out the moral phases of the revolu-
tion whose military aspects he so graphi-
caly paints. But the eye Of the worlds
mind-the eye especially of free and reli
gious England-cannot but dwell on them
with devout gratitude and hope"

In order that credit may be given TO the

the District and sub.Distrct or Township
where the recruit belongs. l tbiuk it would be
well for you to advise your Township Military
Committees TO look to this matter, and see that
all men enlisted 10 their several townships are
thus described on the enlistment papers. 9th
erwise they may be credited only to the dis.
trict generally as the credits are given at
Washington, from the official rolls and enlist
ment papers, when returned to the proper de-
partment there.
Some Township Military Committees seem
to think that the Board of Enrolment have the
power to assign quotas and give credits to
townships whea draft is ordered This is q
mistake entirely. We have nothing whate yer
to do with giving credits for volunteers from
any county or township. The number Of men
to be drawn from each township will be fur

present themselves at this Office can be enlisted,

Mosby's cavalry came upon his track, and
six of them, with fresh horses, pursued him.
One of them, having the heetest horse,
outstripped the rest in the chase, under the
ambition of having the glory of his cap

Senator wigfaI on High Prices.

Ex-senator Wigfal has written letter
on high prices in the South, published in
the Richmond Wing, of the 7th, 10 which
he says: The cost of the war the first year,
was one or two hundred millions of dollars,
three or four hundred millions the next, and
it will be eight or ten the third, if prices are
not reduced Must not such q debt
swallow up. not the income only, but the
property ITSELF of the tax payers, if prices
increase in the future as they have in the
past? Let every man at once resolve to
invest every surplus dollar in government
bonds. Every dollar that is so invested,
will, to that extent, contract the currency,
and reduce prices. The cost of the war
will then begin steadily to decrease. 1t has
increased heretofore. and is now increasing,
and it must be decreased, or the people will
be ruined. Upon the soldier, the
present high prices fall with peculiar hard
ship. The eleven dollars month which he
receives is scarcely worth one dollar, and
he cannot be relieved by an increase ofpay.
1t would but still further initiate the cur
reucy and increase prices. If his pay were
double, the twenty-five dollars would pro
badly buy less than the eleven dollars
which be now receives.
