!. ENGLAND AND GERMANY.-The

FRANCE, ENGLAND AND GERMANY.-The
French official journals speak with great COM
plaisance of the prospect of war between Eng
land and the German Powers, while they all de-
clare that France will certainly keep clear of the
ENHANCEMENT. The English are beginning to
see that in event of such war two or three pri-
vateers would sweep her commerce from the
seas, as two or three privateers, built by her
subjects and in her ports, have nearly swept the
American flag from the seas. Now, this would
produce an immense development of French
commerce; and it is well known that the extern
sion and enlargement of the commerce of France
has been for the last ten years the principal aim
of the present Emperor, in his colonial and for
eign policy, in his foreign wars and aggressions,
such as those in Cochin China in the islands of
the Pacific, and on this continent. To this end
he has made and is making the most gigantic
efforts, and is expanding vast sums of money
If an English war with Germany would practi-
cally consummate his great idea, why would he
not encourage it?

SEMMEs says he was fired upon five times af-
ter he had struck his colors and while the Ala

credit the statement of the pirate, but who will

as vestge of the ship was to be seen, man
above the surface of the water. Pirates and pr
ratical craft have right on the bosom of the

being brought to bear upon the President and
Secretary of State to have our Government for.
mally demand from the British authorities the
rendition of the pirate Semmes and that portion
of his crew who were picked up by the Deer
hound. It is claimed that when the Alabama
struck her colors all her crew at once become
prisoners of war to Capt Winslow, and that the
DeerhOund was summoned by him to the rescue
of the drowning men solely through motives of
humanity; and that she afterward surreptitious-
ly, and in violation of the rights of war; carried
our prisoners to the English coast. Secretary
Seward will resist this pressure.

MORE GOOD THINGS FOR THE ARMY.-The
Sanitary Commission, says the New York 11i-

the assiduty which has characterized their OPP

are interchangeable in forwarding those supplies of
vegetables and delicacies which are so much
needed to recruit the health of the sick and pre-
serve the health of the well soldier. Yesterday
TIVE ship-loads of their supplies were sent from
Baltimore and Philadelphia respectively, and
this morning the steamer Commander will leave
this port for City Point with an assorted cargo
for the army, made up as follows: 1,4OO barrels
potatoes 100 barrels onions so barrels sourkrout,
so barrels beets, 200 dozen cans tomatoes, 100
dozen cans condensed milk. The well soldiers
have their share of these supplies rs well as the

A HOME FOR SAILORS AND MARINEs.-Al-
though much has been done for the soldiers in
all parts of the Union by the benevolent and
patriotic, still it appears as if the sympathy for
our country's defenders is on the increase. tits
now proposed to hold National Sailors Fair in
Boston, having for it's object the establishment
of home for disabled sailors and marines. The
ladies and gentlemen connected with this move
ment are now theoretically arranging the pre-
liminaries, and they hope to meet the generous
aid of every section of the country. The sailors
have done so nobly during the present war that
it seems unnecessary to urge their claims for
recognition. We hope that by this fair they will
gain home worthy of their best deeds and pre-
sent glory.

Every day sends to their graves number of
obscure men, who have only remained in obscu-
rity because their timidity has prevented them
from making first effort; and who, if they
could ha- 9 been induced to begin, would in all

this world worth doing, must not stand back
shivering and thinking of the cold and danger,
but jump in and scramble through well as we
can. twill not do to be perpetually calculating
risks, and adjusting nice chances; it did very
well before the Flood, when q man could consult
his friends upon an intended publication, and
then live to it's success afterward; but at
present a man waits, and doubts, and consults
his brother, and mis- particular friends, till one
fine day he finds that he is sixty years of age /;
that he has lost much time in consulting his
first cousins and particular friends, that he has
no more time to follow their advice.

A LESSON FOR ENGLAND.-The destruction of
the Alabama by the Kearsarge is a striking vim
dication of the superiority of the heavier arma-
ment of our gunboats compared with the
lighter medal of the English models. The ar
mament of the Alabama made i'm accordance
with the English ideas, and her fate will be a
rude shock to cherished British notion. This
is curious repetition of the experience of 1912,
when our vessels, armed with 4S-pounders were
constantly superior to the English ships armed
with 32-pounders. The Kearsarge has battery
of two 11-inch shell guns throwing two hundred
and sixty -four pounds of metal, one 30-pound
rife pivot throwing thirty pounds, and two light
32-pounders throwing sixty -four pounds making
a total of five guns throwing three hundred and
fifty pounds of metal

CAPT. WINsLOw, OF THE KEARsARGE.-Capt.
j. A. Winslow of the gunboat Kearsarge, who
has so distinguished himself in the taking of
the Alabama, is native of Wilmington, n. c.,
where he born in 1911. His mother was a
Southern woman; his father was from the North,
and descended from the old Plymouth stock of
Winslows. John Winslow was educated Ded-
ham, in this State, and at fourteen years of age
entered the navy as midshipman being indebted
to Daniel Webster for his place. His family re-
side in Roxbury. Our naval officers had little
faith in the car acity of the Kearsarge to cope
with the Alabama. Even Capt. Winslow, we
learn, mas repeatedly advised the Navy Depart
ment to strengthen the blockading force off Cher
bourg. He said he would do his best, however
and nobly has he done it.-Bostom Trans.
