English Ignorance of American Affairs.

President Fairfield of Hillsdale College,
Michigan, writes from London to the QnDoit
1drertiser concerning the feeling Of -
gish people toward the United States \
the gross ignorance of the people not only D
American affairs, but OF the simplest geograph-
i:al facts:
81 am sorry to say it, but after month
spent in Great Britain, and eight months in
travel generally, in which | have constantly
been brought into contact and friendly per-
sonal relations with Englishmen, am compel
led to believe that envy of our national sue
cess and hostility to our national growth is
The controlling feeling of the English people I;
and certainly | can count upon the fingers OF
one hand all that have found in nine months
who were in cordial sympathy with US in sup
pressing pro-slavery rebellion which seeks
TO establish an empire of which slavery shall
be the cornerstone. You will understand
that ! have made il no part OF my business
particularly TO seek out our friends. but speak
of those whom / have CHANGED TO meet in ho-
tells, cars and elsewhere, which | think much
the fairest way Of ascertaining the general
feeling. One who addresses public audiences
on the American side OF the question will ma
turally gather about him those of his own op-
inions, and will be likely very much to mis-
Judge as to the attitude Of the great mass
And the general ignorance of the people, not
only of the questions at issue between the
North and the South but even OF the simplest
facts ofAmerican geography, is most amusing.

Judge Dwinelle of the Superior Court of San

are made in relation TO Gen. F's standing in
that state by no means complimentary. We
might feel called upon to republish them were
there any necessity for it, but as the General has
no party in this state and probably will not have
| friends enough even to propose an electoral
ticket, it would be needless work TO publish a
word adverse to him. We shall preserve the
documents for future use if deemed necessary.

The National Past.

II ever people were called upon TO fast
and pray, it Is the American people. II there
ever was an occasion for deep humiliation, on
the part Of the North especially, that time is
now. And II we may expect the blessing OF
Almighty God upon our arms-if we may
confidently look for immediate or ultimate
success TO the cause of Human Rights ard
the erection of sound constitutional govern
ment-thea we must as a people, in the spir-
1t of earnest supplication. implore aid from on
high.
Not only should protested Christians and
members o. our churches, but all who love
TOE truth and labor for the moral elevation of
mau Ia the various departments of benevo-
lence, should meet in their several places Of
DIVIDE worship on the day designated by the
President OF the United States, aud humbly
and unitedly beseech the God of the Universe
and our fathers God, that he would merciul-
~ forgive our sins, and help us to overcome
this wicked rebellion and forever remove its
accused cause.
That slavery is the prime cause of the re-
bellion no sane person can doubt. All Union
men at the South, now or hitherto slavehold-
ers, distinctly and unequivocally thus affirm,
and multltudes at the North, who had here.
tofore failed to perceive the fact, now freely
acknowledge IL. This is among the glorious
signs Of the times, and calls for deyout graft
tude to Almighty God.
There Is another fact not less significant
nor important; and it ought TO bring every
praying man On his knees in thankfulness
-so-ealled irreigious men-of
whom L has never been supposed that they
viewed Gods providence ia national affairs,
now openly declare that His hand is distinct
IL seen Ia the conduct of this war. And
what is more and better, they believe ia Gods
power, and put confidence in Him as the only
source from which deliveranee can come from
this mighty struggle
Shall professors of religion, then, be behind
the world in their recognition of God? Shall
those who have covenanted with the Almighty,
who have taken upon themselves solemn vows,
whose dependence for success in whatever ef-
fort Is entirely upon HiG--shall these, In this
our hour of utmost reed, fall to call upon
God? Let their presence and cooperation at
our places of public worship on Thursday
next, testify their willingness to acknowledge
their Maker, and to pray for divine aid.
We are among those who accept the senti-
ment-"Trust in God, and keep your powder
dry" The spirit OF unwonted patriotism ex-
hibited in this land has fully illustrated the
latter portion of the sentiment. Would to
God Its former part were better exempliaed
BY professors of religion. Then would light
break through our darkness. and the glory OF
God be displayed In the speedy overthrow Of
the rebellion, and the establishment of
righteous government.

My space Will not allow many individual
criticisms, and those must be OF a commend
atory character as far as possible. The speak
ers were generally quite young, and were
open to the criticism OF not fully appreciating
the merit and sentiments of their selections
Moulton, Morgan, Pearson and Holt were
least lacking in this respect.
a Moulion, had he avoided that ''left handed"
gesture, and thrown more fire and energy in
to his part, would have borne off the palm
last evening, for his intonations were fine, his
voice soft and musical, he was evidently at
home upon the stage and he held the atten-
ton of his hearers to the end.
Morgan had good selection and entered
into the spirit of it, but lisp in his utter
ance, and an appearance of affectation de-
tracted much from his delivery. He improv-
ed toward the close, and impressed US with
the idea that with proper culture he will one
day make fine speaker.
Pearson. This speaker was unfortunate
10 his selection. | know OF no author whose
pieces are harder 10 declairn, than Webster,
but considering the difficulties he had 10
overcome, he did excellently.
Holt An excellent voice and oensralIv
at his command are among the favorable criti-
cisms to be made upon this declaimer. His
was a dramatic piece, and such as generally
command the attention, and he executed it
with much ability; but we are sorry that
oratory proper is not encouraged instead, and
we think that in this instance in particular,
Mr. Holt would have received greater credit
had he made different selection.
Freeman and Emery might be spoken of
favorably among the speakers, and space
alone prevents our mentioning other declaim-
ers with many words of commentator.

SENATOR SnERMAN's VIEws.-Senator
John Sherman OF Ohio, having been serenaded
10 Cincinnati On the 16sh, made response, in
which he said:
II have seen s great deal of Mr.. Lincoln.
In my official relations with him | have had
occasion 10 diiier with him, sometimes very
decidedly: but feel bound to say that when
ais measures had been examined critically,
aud under the tight all the surrounding cir
cumstances, they have been found wise aud
successful. HIS Proclamation of Emaneipa-
ton was not made till every loyal man must
nave felt that the slaves we're either TO be mus
tered on our side or against us. They were
employed as the most valuable aid TO the
rebels, and would have continued to be their
most valuable auxiliary were it not that the
idea of freedom has impaired their value as
slaves. The arming of slaves was postponed
till the prejudices OF our people gave way TO
the absolute demand for troops to occupy and
hold important positions in the South.
There is not single act of Mr.. Lincolns
that / eau recall but has been justified by
events, unless 1t has been his earnest desire to
conciliste his political adyersaries, and they
surely should not denounce him for this. He
has occupied position of greater difficulty
than any man Ia our generation; and If you
could see the anxious solicitude with which
he performs all the duties of his Office, the pa
tent endurance, the care and kindness with
which he reconces opposing opinions, you
would know how well grounded his popular-
ty is with the masses of our people,"

ST. Louis, Mo-, July %.
The guerrillas burned the railroad property
at Shelbina and Lakeman, on the Hannibal 4
st. Joseph Railroad yesterday. They des-
troyed all the block houses, water tanks and
the bridge at Salt River, robbed the citizens
aud pundered the stores of both friend and
foe alike. The band numbered eighty.
Two hundred armed men went west from
Hannibal yesterday, and were at Salt River
Bridge yesterday evening. The road is now
clear of interruption except at the burned
bridge.
Gen. Fisk to-day ordered an assessment on
the disloyalists in Albany and Monroe Coun
ties, sufficient to cover all damages to the
railroad and loyal people. 1t will be collect
ed. The same rule will be enforced on all
lines in that district.
Gen. Fisk has received authority 40 recruit
four regiments for one year.
