Diplomacy Of the Chesapeake Case.
There hiss been some discussion in the
Britt h Parliament concerning the viola
ton Of British sovereignty in the pursuit
Of the Chesapeake pirates into 8 British
Colonial hsFbor by an American gunboat.
Mr.. LayArd, in behalf Of Her Msjesty's
Government, produced letter addressed
TO Lord Lyons by Secretary Seward, as
soon as the facts had reached him, and
long before the demand of the British
Government for redress had reached this
country. Seward acknowledges that there
was "direct violation Of the sovereignty
Of Her Majesty" in the case referred to,
by the officers Of the gunboat Ella s. An
ME, which acts "the President disapproves
and regrets" and though the President
has reason to believe that the proceedings
thus disapproVed were taken by the Off
GERS concerned under the influence of
patriotic and ndcommendable zeal, yet he has
h directed that they shall be censured for
this YiolAtion, and he will take such other
means as may be necessary to prevent
recurrence Of tks grievance complained
Of" Mr.. Seward closes by announcing
that he is "fully determined to make all
the amends that are due to Great Britain
in the premises" To these statements
Earl Russell promptly responded that HHer
Msjesty's Government accept that apology
In the same spirit In which it has been Of
fered, and are truly glad that the matter
has been settled in q manner honorable to
both parties, and calculated to improve the
friendly relations which Her Msjesty's
Government are always anxious to main
tain with the Government of the United
ststes.n

During General Grants short stop at
Columbus, he stated to q prominent officer
Of Ohio that Sherman's lste expedition
failed only in one particular, and that was
in the destruction of rolling stock at
Selma. Owing to an unavoidable delay,
the rebels were able to remove it south
he also says that an immense amount Of
stores were destroyed, railroads were
made wrecks Of, and that altogether it was
a severe blow to the rebels and one from
which they will not resovsr. General
Sherman brought in with him 6, 900 negroes

rebellion. He will return in ten days.

The Union Sentiment in Alabama.

GAe DHloH sentiment II AtaDamus
The Nashville Union, Of Saturday last,
furnishes the following interesting state
ment concerning the progress Of Union
sentiment In that State;
awe yesterday conversed with gentle
nan who resides in Central Alsbama, but
who was compelled to leave soma months
since, because Of his opposition to the re-
belliOn and from him we learn that the
Union sentiment in that State is gaining
strength daily. Ha gave as the names Of
several prominent men, who are well
known to the public, who are prepared to
take the lead In reorganization, So soon
as that can can be done; but we withhold
them for the present, for the very obvious
reason that they would be expelled from
their homes ct once.
Our informant adds that when be left,
great. Excitement prevailed relative to the
wholesale rebel CONSUMPTION; and secret
meetings were being held to resist It; but
an unoFgsnized opposition is always pow
erIess to effect much. BE Is acquainted
with 8 number Of the members Of the leeis-
lature Of that State, and afiirms that that
body smbraoes number Of good and true
UniOn men but 8 yet they are compelled
to give an apparent support to the rebel
lion.
Aas an instance Of the spirit Of the peo-
pie, the gentleman states that g PROPOSE
tion was carried, last August, in self
constituted caucus Of irresponsible parties,
Of the city Of Montgomery, to the effect
that the town should be burned rather than
surrendered. The indignation Of the
property holders was 80 great, at the un-
psrslleled assumption Of number Of vag-
sbonds, thst they determined to resist;
snd the inoendisry gentlemen were polite
ly informed that the man Who attempted
to apply q match, to either house, stable
OF cotton, would be summArily disposed Of
by an sppicotion Of cold lead. The reso-
luton Of the substantial citizens had the
desired effect, and the destructiVes sban-
doned their schemes.

miles from Selma, snd from 20 to 25 from
Demopoiis, and on the road between the
two points.

F ABOUT GEEEEAL GRANT. rT
The arrival Of General Grant proves a
God send to the scribblers of the Jenkin-
sonian proclivites. His appearance at the
Presidents levee, his promenade with
Mrs. Lincoln, the particulars Of her
toilette, the sfFsbility and condescCnsiOn Of
Chsperon Seward, are all dwelt upon with
8 minuteness OF details, delightful to the
unsophisticsted minds.
1t is refreshing to know that he bears
the ordeal with becoming meekness, and
has betaken himself with eommendsble
promptness to the business Of his mission.
To-day he had an interview with the
Secretary Of War and General Hslleek, st
which the military situation of the country
was cOnVassed. A general plan Of cam
paign,, harmonious and comprehensive,
was agreed upon. The necessity for the
reorganization Of the Army Of the PotO-
mac, Was admitted BY all, and to morrow
Northumberland Grant proceeds to
General Mesde's Headquarters to person
ally inspect the causes Of ineffciency and
to initiate reform.
It is understood that General Grant will
not take up his residence in Washington,
but will remain on active duty somewhere
in the field. General Hslleck will subside
into the position of Adjutsnt to the Presi-
dent, through whom as Chief of staff to the
COmmander-in.C Chief Of the Army all his
orders will be transmitted to Lieutenant
General Grant.
WHAT GRANT SAYS OF sHERNAN's LxHEDI-
TIoE.
General Grant pronounccs the stories Of
General Sherman having been defeated
untrue. He says Sherman fulfilled his
orders successfully, which were to break
up the railroads leading to MOBILE, and
used in supplying the rebel armies. He had
no orders to proceed further, and from
Richmond We have rebel admissions that
he left.the country through which he passed
destitute Of provisions, mules and ne
grOes. His expedition is pronounced q
great success.

For the last year or two, since the coUn-
try has been SO thoroughly drained Of men
for the war, there has been great scarcity
Of lsborers. Farmers have not been able
to get half enough to put in or harvest
their crops and in every kind Of msohan-
ioal business there has been the greatest
difficulty in getting operatives, and those
who are obtained, even the most unskilled,
win work only for the highest wages. The
supply Of labOrers by immigration is not
sufficient to meet the increased demand
In this emergency why not look to Canada
for stock Of lsborers2 The supply Is
greater thers than the demand, increased
by crowds Of towards who have fed there
70 avoid military service; the Wsges Bre
low. The prospect Of steady work and
higher wages would induce many Of the
Cansdisns to smigrste to the States, il the
facts could be put before them and soma
suitable effort made. The Canadians are
intelligent, good -natuaed and valuable
Workmen in every respect. We don't
want to invade Canada, but II an army Of
Canadian laborers would inveds New Ea-
gland they would meet with q warm reesp.
tion. The women may come too, and would
fad abundant employment in the factories
and kitchens while their brothers were at
work in the sho2s or on the fsrm.

Fourteen Hundred Dollar TransaetIon-
Obtaining Go0ds under False Pressnses.
A man named John ". Kelley, was yes
terday arrested and confined in the Ninth
street StatioR-house, by officer J. Werls,
upon affidavit Of A. H. Ogden, charging
him with obtaining goods under false pre-
lenses. The alleged fraudulent transae-
ton occurred in August last, when tao
prisoner obtained from A. b. Ogden s Co,
59S, West Fifth street, some 900 bushels
Of osts on the strength that he had a con
tract for furnishing the same, Witha Quar-
termaster at Gallipolis. The sum 70 be
paid for the oats was nearly S5,000-and
Of that sum So, 500 in advance. The oats
were delivered, and Ogden 6 Co. immedi-
ately received Kelly's cheeks on W. 7. Per-
Hns & Co., for $500, which, upon pre-
sentation, proved worthless. This amount
however, was made good by Kelley soms
time after, but the balance-some 81, 400
he has never yet paid, having left the city
and succeeded in eluding the officers until
yesterday. Kelley has family In this
city. BE, however, has been living In To-

The city Of Brooklyn has rendered the

the unprecedented muniacence whereWith
she has sustained her Fair for the sick and
wounded soldiers os the Republic. Three
hundred and ninety thousand dollars have

In the late disaster at 0Iustee, Florida,
whereby the Government lost 3 bsttls and
1900 brave men we're killed and wounded,
one regiment at least Was demoralizsd be-
fore the engagement By piece Of folly en-
the part Of some officers whose names are
not given. As related BY correspondent
Of the Tribune, the cause are as follows :
the 7th Nav Hampshire had so deadly
q fire poured into them that they broke and
fell bsek in confusion. Dissatisfaction had
been created among the men by depriving
them Of the speaesF repeating ride and
by issuing, in lieu Of this formidable Wasp
on, Springfield nuskets in damaged con-
dition. Unable to protect themselves with
such guns, one wing Of the regiment gave
way and could not be rallied, while the
olhsr wing which still retained the repeat
ing rife, maintained its position until the
ammunition was exhausted, when it Waz
obliged to fall back"
Such record as this-if he above &C.
count is true is disgrsceful in the extreme;
when Government goes 70 the expense Of
providing these weapons for the soldiers,
what business have dolts in gold lace TO
deprive them Of the means Of self defense
