will. In the south ii is different; there
are scores of thousands of pro-slasery
union men there, but they consider the
union worth more than slavery. AT Bee
town slavery is considered by many as being
worth more than the union--only for this
that the democratic party rests and has its
being-in and upon slavery; wherefore"
they reason, "if slavery falls, democracy
falls, our party falls" Thus considering,
they stick for a reconstruction of the
union with slavery, even With jeff. D Wis
and the rebel constitution. This is the po-
sition of the leaders at Beetown and else
where. The rank and file OF the party
blndly follow the leaders, without thinking
much about consequences. Ed.

ENGLISH GOVERNMENT AND THE A La
BAMA.-The Manchester (Eng) Examiner
of the goth ult., publishes the correspodn-
ence between our Minister at London, Mr..
Adams, and Earl Russell, in regard to the
pirate Alabama. Mr. Adams furnished
abundant proof Of the nature and purpose
of the vessel on The sd of June and at
subsequent dates bat the first word of re-
ply was on tbs23d Of September, three
months aftsr---when Earl Russell excused
the delay by saying that the law officers Of
the Crown had 10 be consulted; and then
report was rendered. singularly enough on
the very day that the Alabama called from
Liverpool to commence her piratlcal course.
Instructions were then given to intercept
her at Cork, but, Of course, her commander
knew better than TO stop there, and the
British officials knew that she would not.
The correspondence extends to Oct. 10th.
Earl Russell making no further answer than
to admit that the neutrality laws could be
easily evaded, but constantly reiterating
that her Majesty's Government could not
90 beyond the letter Of the statutes. And
this is all the satisfaction he has given or
proposes to give.

Latest War NeWSI
WASHINGTON. Feb. la.


There is general rejoicing over the unan-
imous passage of the Consumption bill in
the Senate last night. The democrats
were expected to oppose it bitterly, but
they did not suppose il would bo put on
its passage and 90 went off about 10 or IL
O'Clock to party az Count Merciers. The
loyal border State men, however, with re-
publcans made up majority and put the
bill through by vote at midnight. IL
exempts nobody on account of official POI
-i;ion, except the President, Cabinet off,
GERS, members Of the Judiciary aud Gov
errors. The attempt TO exempt clergy
men was voted down by large majority
as also was an attempt to exempt Con-
gressmen and members Of the State Leg
islatures. 1t contains, however, proyis-
ion for paving the Government sum OF
money, where the conscript cannot go,
with which bounty the Government will
procure substitute. The exemptions are
near.v .'ll;.I i,enalf of poor, ani persons
having poor dependent families in charge.
II is expected that those features will rem
der it remarkably popular. 1t is up2er-
stood that the House Military Committee
will probably report it back without any
amendment, and put ittbrorgh under the
previous question.

The following letter comes in an official
shape and is Endorsed by the officers of the
31st Wisconsin now stationed at Racine
though We have space but for brief
extract. The Knights of the Golden
Circle have their agents stationed where
ever there is any probability Of getting a
man out ofthe army. Speaking of one
who calls himself Col. Benson, here is what
A. p. Dutton writes to the Cbica 90
Tribune:
"Some time sinca this Col. Benson came
here and with bis lady took rooms a, the
Racine House. Very soon the landlord
discovered to his satisfaction that this Col.
was not here for honest purposes, and
compelled him 10 leave the house. He
then took rooms at another house, and soon
became actively engaged in his business,
which was to organize secret societies, and
secure the release of soldiers from Col
Messmore's Regiment.
Yesterday some facts came TO light,
which caused letter to be written to him.
signed by many of our good citizens, tell
ing bin plainly Whist bis business here was
for, and giving him notice to leave the city
at once. About twenty persons visited
him with the letter and told him that the
tar and feathers were all ready for him in
the morning, if he did not "skedaddle."
which he agreed he would do. In short
time Col. Messmore sent down a squad Of
soldiers, and they escorted him 20 tho
camp. On bis arrival at the camp
the Col called forward some of bis men.
who stated that they had paid this Ben
son money, he agreeing to get them out
of the regiment. One stated that he paid
him S14 so, which be wanted back. Col.
Messmore ordered Benson to hand over
his .welry TO secure the payment to tho
soldiers; aud he handed over. The Col.
ordered him sent to the guard-house and
put in irons, which was done. This Ben
son avowed his intention Of going to Chi
cago, where he wouId be better treated;
and | presume be wall be with you as soon
~ he gets clear from the regimental pris-
on. He is a tall, intelligent looking man,
with sandy whiskers. He is fluent talk

Visit what regiment you will, in the

The will Of Nicholas Longworth was adj
mitted TO probate to-day. He leaves ali bis
property TO bis widow and children and not

tiers, Mrs. FIagg and Mrs. Larz Anderson,

S.ryility Of the Harpers.

The Harpers have long enjoyed the
Pictorial field. Their weekly Pictorial and
Magazine have had fer years fine run up
on the cars, at book stalls, in show windows,
parlors, horse stables, everywhere. On ac-
count Of northern liberty they were patron
ised as well in the North, even with their
caricatures of northern men and principles
as though their pictures were true to lib
erty and humanity; but in the South 1t
was different, as nothing was allowed 10
circulate then but what pandered to the reb-
Ella. Hence when President Lincoln avoid
ed Baltimore on his way to Washington, to
evade the assassins, Harper indecently car
featured him. Harpers continued TO carlo
ature the Union army, at first, for no pur-
pose but to keep up j welcome market de-
mand for their Pictorial.
But wha, change, Ye Go 81 Now their
being no longer any market South for indie
cent caricatures of northern men and prin-
ciples, the Harpers are publishing anti-sla-
very prints, pictures, papers, DC. Their
weekly Pictorial has become as indecent for
caricaturing the rebel chiefs-who are rep
resented as hugging their niggers- kissing
their niggers' toes to keep them friendly

the warm gulf stream is gradually drawing

mildness Of the winters for the past TIVE
