THE ALABAMA.

Having permitted two days to pass without
interrupting the natural exultation which fol
lowed the news of the destruction of the Ala.
bama, we now turn critically to some features
of the contest demanding more careful consid-
GRAFTON than has yet been given them
1t is stated in The London Daily Ners tina,
the Deerhound is regarded as ,haying been the
tender or consort of the Alabama. The view Is
correct. Whatever relation Mr.. John Ian.
easter, owner of this "neutral yacht, may
have previously sustained to the pirate, it is al
least certain that his appearance upon the scene,
and his acts when the engagement was over,
made him the accOmplicc as well as the rescuel
OF Semmes. We do not know, and it is imma-
teral whether the report of his agreement to be
present in order to interfere if the fight went
against the Alabama, be true or not; the fact
being that he acted just as, in case of such a
bargain, he would have been expected to act.
The law of the case is beyond question. The
Kearsarge hrl engaged and defeated the Ala
bama, and the latter, with everything and every
person on board, was the lawful prize o&the
victor unless the Kcarsarge had herself been So
much injured as to be unable TO take possession.
That she was not unable, is evident from the
quick arrival Of her boats. Mr. Lancaster al.
leges that he was requested by Capt. Winslow
to aid him in saving the drowning crew, as il
this afforded Justification for his proceedings.
| If Captain Winsow made such request, he
showed humanity not generally exhibited to
/ pirates; but, in any event, be made il with the
expectation that The Deerhound would put oh
the decks Of the Kearsargc whomeyer she
picked up. But Mr.. John Lancaster took an
other view of his duties as humanitarian neu-
trail; and, having first rescued Semmes, and
then lied TO the kearSarge boat concerning
him, made of 10 CoweS.
The interference, the violation Of neutrality,
the insult to the American flag, are hardly less
fragrant than if the Deerhound had ranged up
unseen to the Kearsarge while the fight was
going on, and poured in her broadside, suppos-
ing her to have had one. Our Government has
clear RICH, to ask an explanation of this act
of British subject, and to demand the surren-
der of Semmes from English soil, TO which he
was thus illegally transferred, though his rem
dition now may be quite impossible.
Nor are We yet informed as to the motives
which influenced Capt winslow in permitting
the escape of the DeerhOund with his prisoners.
When that vessel had taken the pirate Semmes
on board, she was still under the guns OF the
Kesrsafge. Mr.. John Lancaster says be eI-
pected to be brought TO By shot-proving his
own guilty consciousness that be was doing an.
illegal act. Capt. Winslow must have known
that the Deerhound had somebody on board;

GOLD At 21O.

Gov. Chase, the horror of rcd-dOg bankers, Is
out of the Treasury, ana Mr.. Fessenden, whom
everybody speaks we'll Of, reigns in his stead.
Congress was fairly bullied and cajoled into re-
pealing the righteous and wholesome act which
prohibited betting on future differences IN
market value between Gold and GreenbachS;
the Alabama is deStroyed; and the Military sit
uation is more hopeful than it has previously
been since Bull Run: yet the premium on
Gold rose yesterday to 10! What have the
Mokannas, who attributed the rise of Gold two
weeks since to Mr.. Chase and the Gold bill, to
say for themselves Where shall they hide
from the prompt and thorough exposure of
their ignorance and their charlatanism
Grant is laundering at the gates Of Rich
mond; Sherman at those of Atlanta; Candy has
probably struck another heavy blow ut the
Southwest; the Rebellion is visibly on its last
legs, and tottering at that; yet Gold goes up
like balloon; so that $4,000 of it will buy
more than $40, 900 OF U. S. Six Per Cents, pay
able, principal and interest, in coin The bust
ness of the country is all but fatally deranged;
all nominal values are so inflated and unsettled
that no one knows what to ask nor how to trade;
the Laboring Glass are stinted in spite of ample
work and large wages; and there is danger OF
Social CONFUSION from the artful, infamma-
tory indictments addressed to Ignorance by Trea-
son. Our bankers and capitalists evinee neither
foresight nor courage; Avarice and Gambling,
engineered by DiSloyalty, ride the whirlwind
and direct the storm; every necessary oil life
grows hourly dearer; and the congregated
traitors from st. Louis, Baltimore, New
Orleans, Memphis, Louisville, Nashville, &C.,
&c, who barrow in this City, and here scheme
and struggle to paralyze the raised right arm Of
the Nation, in the interest of the Shareholders
Rebellion, will soon be whispering TO the Work
ing Glasses that the initiation Of prices which
they have done and dared everything to pro-
duce. is the work of those whom it threatens to
destroy, and who are doing all they know to
resist and repel it.
Courage, countrymen This is the darkness
that precedes the dawn Yet little while,
and men viii hardly realize that it could ever
have been.

nor is il easy TO conceive how an officer who
had bcea in Command of the Kesrsarge and tx
cluded from MI courte ale. IN. LriHsh ports. could
have trusted to The honor good faith, or
sense Of justice, Of an Englishman. 1t would
have been quite easy for Capt. winslow 70 have
detained and examined the Decrhound In the
two dispatches published yesterday, the subject
il left untouched.
II appears further that those Of Che crew who
were picked up by the boats Of the kearsarse
have been paroled at Cherbourg by Capt. Wins
low. The effect of such an act is to recognize
the Alabama as Confederate ship of war, and
her captain as an officer in the Confederate
service Should our Government not be pre-
pared to make these admissions, this parole may
be disayowed aud recalled by the Navy Depart
ment.
II has surprised nobody thai the English
journals should have sought to belittlc the eN-
plot of the Kcarsarge by extolling her superiority
to the Alabama 1t is natural that British pride
should be touched by the defeat of British
vessel The inferiority of the gunnerS trained on
the British practice ship Excellent was rather
too plainly demonstrated. But the facts exist,
aud although it is easy to nisrcpresent them,
they cannot be altered. There has been no
naval fight on more equal terms than that be-
tween the Kearsarge and the Alabama. Capt.
Winslow says:
The ships about equsl ia match the innaa;e being
the the Alabama carrying iooPound rifle with one
hesvy pouuder aud siI broadsds JlPounder the Rear
sarge carrying bsoad.ide Pounders two llineh an
one 28-pound rife, gun less than the Alabama"
The weight of metal at a broadside of either
varied very little.
A distinguished naval officer said to Us on
Saturday, before the news of the fight was
received, that no two vessels could be more
nearly matched than the Kearsarge and Ala
bama; that no naval officer would desire fight
on more even terms; but that, if he were Seere-
lary of the Navy, he should scarcely deem il
Just to the great commercial interests depend
ing on the destruction of the Alabama To leave
but a single vessel like the Kearsarge to take
care Of her in case OF fight. This opinion,
being professional, aud coming from an officer
unusually capable and well-nlormed, is entitled
to be accepted as conclusive.

FRANCE, mEXICO, AND THEUNITED

correspondence between Mr.. Seward and Mr..

and is as follows:

The Copperhead papers recently asserted that
William S. Fish, late Colonel Of the LIST Con
necticUt Cavalry, who was lately convicted by
court martial of numerous crimes, had been
pardoned by the Presidents and they took oe-
caSion TO aSSail him in terms of unmeasured
abuse, as the friend of jailbirds AID the a5ettor
of fraud and population. A most respectable
and conscientious officer of the Government de-
termined to satisfy himself as TO the facts of the
case, and wrote to the Superintendent OF the
Albany Penitentiary, inquiring if Fish were
still prisoner We have been shown the re-
ply, dated July 6, in which Amos Pillsbury, the
Superintendent says that Fish sis still con-
fined here, and is employed at light work in the
Army Shoe department" .t
We are glad that this is so, for, if sworn testi-
mony means anything, this Fish is one of the
most unprincipled seoundrels in the country.
He collected false bills Of the Treasury, received
blsck-mail and brides, stole private property
passing officially through his hands, stole Gov.
eminent horses and sold them, hsbitually fire.
quonted disreputable houses dressed in his uni.
form. and made his name and Office by-word

and reproach. The Executive clemency has
hitherto been chiefly exercised in the cases Of
men condemned TO death, or other severe pun
ishment, for military crimes. But, humane and
lenient as the President proyerbialy is, there is
no reason for suppOsing that he will extend a
pardon TO such criminals as Fish. At any rate,
