\ Bit oil liistory--Nhy Mason was Snub-
bed by Eart Russell.
The Atlanta (Ga) LtcI'yenccr makes
a curious statement concerning the rebel
agent Mason aud Earl Russell as, follows:
at is said that after Mr Mason had
addressed several diplomatic notes to
Lord palmerston or Nussl, 1--WE do not
remember wLieh,) he was formally mott
ned that on certain day he would be
received in his diplomatic character and
an audience granted him in Loulou.-
Two days in advance Of The day named
for his reception, Mr.. Mason repaired to
London to await the summons of the
British NiuistcrtJ the appointed confer
encc.
The day passed, however, and no ush.
cr appeared to Introduce or convey Mr..
Mason to the British Minister'S presence.
Another passed and he was still ncslec.
ted; and yet another with the samo NOR
titying result. Annoyed at this treat.
ment, Mr.. Mason who had many person.
al friends at tho Court, made it known
to them, and they, it is said, expostula-
tod with tho British Minister at his cav
alier treatment and neglect of a gentle
man who. had been invited to London
in an official card and on official busi-
ness. Whereupon the following in SUBJ
stance. was rendered as an apology for
the treatment, by an official OF tho gov.
crnmcnt:
d" The invitation given Mr.. Mason to
visit London and have an interview with
the Minister, and at tho time specified,
was given in good faith, but on tho day
preceding deputatiou representing the
united cotton manufacturing interests Of
Great Britain, had boon granted an audi
ence, during which they protested
against any recognition of the Southern
C0nfederaey bYthot government, then
or in..thc' futu3, That then England
was on the verdof general bankruptcy,
owing to tho V. accumulation of man
ufacturcd goods Of every description,
and stored away in every warehouse al
most in the kingdom, amounting to sup.
ply more than sufficient for two years
demand, besides enough Of tho raw mate
rial on hand to last them for at least two
years more.
"That if tho war continued, England
would be saved from general bankruptcy,
and nothing else could save her That
even if the South were conquered,
slavery abolished, tnl the labor to grow
the staple with drawn from it entirely, it
would be better for England and for its
manufacturing interests, Tho former
could vigorously encourage the growth Of
the staple in her East India possessions,
IN / tho latter u'd have time to get of
their accumulated stock of goods, to man.
| afacture their raw material then on hand,
and to prepare their machinery for the
manufacture in the future Of the coarscP
East India staple. The facts and tho
arguments prevailed. The British Min.
ister was sorry, very sorry, but Mr..
Mason could not be received, and tho
Southern Confederacy must take care of
itself"
The IntelltJcncer asks why this intel.
ligcnce was withheld from the people al
the time it was communicated to the
Confederate Senate, and adds: clad the
deluson been removed from the peoples
mind Of cotton being king, or of foreign
recognition, the war might have closed
two years ago, with less advantage to
Great Britain and more to the South and
the United States than at this late day
But crimination and recrimination arc
now out Of place. Cotton is not king
was not, and never can be king. This,
like some theories Of our government to
which the South has given crcdence, and
long maintaincI--such as arc embraced
in the doctrines Of State rights AID Sta,e
rcmcdjcs-aro hcncoCorth to be and must
be considered baseIcss political fabrics.
One people, one government, united fos
the general wclflTo a; peace, if it will LET
US, with all the world, bpt united against
it when ossaiIcl. And SO wo 20 for
new, and, We trust, a peaceful and pros.
perous future"
