could hardly suppose it to have been the
work of Mr.; Seward, though it appears to
have been sufficiently we'll done to deceive
both him and Mr.. Adams. These contin'
ued attacks in Lords and Commons on the
American question are, I think, only the
skirmishings which precede general en-
gagement. In his defence, last night, Ear
Russell fell back upon the slavery question,
and said England should preserve careful
neutrality, because four millions of negroes
might be made free in consequence.
Confederate stock, now, whileLieut. Gen.
Grant is marching on Richmond, and "the
boldest holds his breath for a time," has
gone up to 81. Here isa chance for spec.
ulation. The news of week or two may
seud itup 20 per cent. higher, or knock it
down to 25, where it was few months ago.
If Gen. Lee meets with reverse, Lombard
street will drop it. As to the Confederates
here, they are full of confidence and san
guine of success They are prepared for
some defeats and disasters, but expect to
hold their own, and believe that the North
will cave, or that France will recognize in
behalf of Mexico, and they feel sure that
England will be eager enough to join in
such recognition. 1 understand that the

proper moment to offer another loan.

cured highly important concession from
the Nicaraguian Government for railway
across the Isthmus, for which the capital is
ready, so that the Panama Company will
soon have formidable opposition. There
is no mistake about this, and it is probable
the first step toward establishing position
which will be, in some degree, set off to
that of France in Mexico. England wants
q good transit routsto British Columbia and
New Zealand, and she wants also cotton

than India. Capt. Pym is confident that
he has found these in Nicaragua. He is a
man of great energy, and has the full con.
fdence of the Government.

Sharp Shooters.

SAAlSA
A correspondent Of the Augusta Consti-
tutionazist says:
The casualties among our officers in the
encounters with Grant have been unusually
heavy SO much so as to suggest the exist.
ence Of some peculiar operative cause
This may, perhaps, be found in the exist
teuce Of those corps of sharpshooters where.
with the Yankees are provided. We also
have some battaliops of sharp shooters, but
except in the fact of their being armed with
finer rifles, and. employed to a.greatere ex.
tent as skirmishers, they do not differ ma
terially from the troops Of the line. ..
In the Yankee service, on the contrary,
the sharp. shooter is required to be a
thorough marksman, and marksman with
the army weapon, which is entirely differ
ent affair from being a dead shot with the
sporting rife. To attain this efficiency
these fellows are diligently exercised in
shooting at marks put up at different ranges
of the sliding scale sights, and our severe
losses in officers at every battle proves this
training not to have been thrown away
One of the most noted corps Of Yankee
sharp.shooters is Bearden's, the same which
annoyed us so necessarily while in the
trenches at Yorktown, during the peninsula
campaign.
Many of the men to be found in these
destructive organizations are foreiguers-
Swiss, Germans, Tyrolesand the ,ike-said
to have been selected by Yankee agents in
Europe for their skill with the rife, and
hired at high rates to lend their services to
the North. : 'f'.s:

B6- The army correspondent of the Au-
gusta Constitutionazist, in letter, dated
New Hope Church, June I'd, says:
Col. Riley, of the LIST Missouri, was yes.
terday killed under exceedingly painful
circumstances. He was lying upon his
blanket under the shade of a tree, reading
a newspaper, 1t was within our works,
and, as every one thought, uader cover
But this proved incorrect. He was picked
off. by one of the enemy sharpshooters,
the ball passing through his heart Capt.
Stewart, of the same regiment was killed
also by simultaneous shot. Both were
gallant officers and excellent men, and are
deeply deplored.
The scouts and sharpsheoters of the enc
my are in the habit Of clothing themselves
with leaves, and under this guise Of creep
ing upon our lines with comparative secu-
rity. Our boys have gotten to fire at eve-
ry green bush that moves. A curious cir
cumstance happened o day or two ago.
One of the members of Major Shoff's bat.
talon of sharpshooters saw a hawk fly
through the air and light upon tall pine.
He raised bis gun and sent bullet after
it. He missed the bird, but struck the
limb upon which it had perched. Judge
the mans astonishment when. he saw the
latter tumble heels over. head to the ground,
disclosing the blue chinks Of Yankee
jacket in its flight through the air!
We are informed that Gen. Johnston
has sent note to Gen. Sherman, asking
that the system Of picket firing be dlscon.
tinued, and threatening retaliatory meas
ures.

Is Judge Howard for Disunion ?

Mr.. Emery, of the Bangor Democrat, en-
dorses Judge Howard as a man after his own
heart, perfectly sound on the "peace" question,
who denies the poteer and the RIGHT of the
national government to enforce its own au-
thority, and who has ever been opposed TO the
present war.
Mr.. Emery, In the same paper IN which he
thus gives Judge Howard the right hand OF
fellowship, defines his own views of peace and
what it embraces, and says, II the brave men
of the South, because of the seas of blood we
have shed, will not consent to come back and
live with us, then, while he would separate
from them in sorrow, he would say, "pE-
PART IN PEACE; we will sheathe the sword"

or is he willing to make peace at the expense
of the Union? viii the Argus please an

A Beautiful Parlor Ornament.

When man who is exempt by age from
military duty, periodically furnishes repre-
sentative for the army, he receives beauti-
fully engraved certificate OF the fact, bearing
Uncle Sans coat of arms, and officially sign
ed by that old gentleman's authorized agents.
Ii Is neat picture in itself, aside from the as
sociations which will naturally cluster around
IL. A good many of our patriotic citizens
have secured these official diplomas, and no
doubt will highly prize them.
One OF them, JOHN C. Proctor, Esq, has
received such a picture, for which he has pro-
cured a frame, aud it now aoorns his parlor
wall. This is capital idea; aud with what
pride will his defendants look upon that me-
mento Of ancestral patriotism, and with what
care will they preserve 1t and transmit it from
sire to son down the line of the future What
a rich legacy for man to leave for his chill
dren. How different from that copper. headed
medal which many are having struck, to de-
cend as memento OF dishonor, to make the
child curse the memory OF the parent that
withheld his sympathy from his country Ia the
hour Of It's peril.

Q. In 1850 all the Democratic party OF the
free states was able to do for their cause was
to sympathize- with the efforts OF the southern
''reliable Democratic" states, without the pow
er to give an electoral vote 10 their favor, and
to-day they are occupying the same ground
and with the same measure of power-to-
wards the rebellion; sympathizing with 1t, but
unable to fire qua in its defence!
6. The Northern Democracy occupies to-
wards the South to-day precisely the ground
il did in ls50-sympathizing with, wishing
well towards, and cheering on the work in
which they are engaged, but without the pow
err TO render practical aid!
Let honest men ponder the foregoing les
sons. They are no hgments of the brain, but
the recorded facts of history or the plainest
deductions OF reason aud daily observation.
They show who made the war-that the war
against The Government Is Democratic war,
and that the greatest struggle aud the blood
lest war known in the annals of the human
race, is the war of 1904, in which the Gov
eminent Of free people is engaged to put
down the gigantic rebellion of the Democrat
1, party "a rebellion TO regain lost power
Such Is the issue, aud such the parties to It
IL Is contest 10 break down Constitutional
Government by the Democratic party.
