That is about as cool hlsehood as we
haye recently seen. In the first place it is
false that Lincoln puehed the army against
the ycmonstrancc of Scott The army went
forward when Scott and Mcdowell both
thought 1t was ready and that the proper
time Ind come
Mcdowell and Scott both wanted to fight
the battle ten days earlier than it came Of,
but were prevented by delays In procuring
transportation and in getting tho men ready.
The terms Of enlistment Of most Of the force
expired In July and they were impatient to
strike blow while the army was at its maxi
mum strength and before the rebels could
concentrate a 1arge fcrcc. The 10th Of July was
the latest day fixed for the battle. Hfought

The decision in the Alexandra case ia ad-
verse to the English Government. The trial
commenced on the 9th Of June last, before
the Lord Chief Baron, on an information that
the Aexandra was fitted out in yiolation OF
the seventh section Of the Foreign Enlist.
ment act. The Indictment contained some
ninety eight counts. of which niucty-six we're
: variations On eight charges The jury rem
dered . ver dict In favor Of the defendants.
The Attorney General moved for new rial
on the ground that the Lord Chief Baron had
improperly charged OF misdirected the Jury
in regard TO- the law applicable to the case.
His direction was, to use his own words, as
follows:
That the defendants were within the meaning Of
ship.oaar, viii intent to conduct os'itiss: aR e
bnt that il the commerce Of this country in ships
either OF peace or war wast to continue-ft the ships
commit -i1ostillhes, though tho hull might be in
some respects OF warlfke eharacter-then there
had been NO violation Of the act
The argument on the rule against this di.
rection occupied eix days. The decision is
now given to discharge the rule. The judges
were equally divided, and in order to avoid
deadlock, the youngest Judge makes noml-
nal concession, in accordance with an English
custom. The Lord Chief Baron Pollock and
Baron Bramweu favored the discharge.
Baron Channell and Baron Plgott favored
making the rule absolute. The entire case is
reviewed at great length in the opinions Of
the Judges, and with much learning. The
Chief Baron and Baron Bramwe1l hold that
the statute, being penal, must be strictly con-
stsned; that complete equipment for war
must be shown, and that, Of course, no poll
tical considerations should be allowed to af-
feet the case. The Chief Baron observed that
the seventh section torbids any one to equip,
arm, &C., but the word "build " is omitted,
and therefore building YVES not prohibited by
tho act. He added that "the Legislature
