The London Times has an editorial on
the letter of the Secretary of State, Mr..
Seward, in reply to Lord Wharnclifle's
application to distribute aid among rebel
prisoners. 1t says that it is no slight
testimony to the course taken by Her
Majesty's Government in its dealings with
Federal America that Seward, with an
animus he cannot conceal, is driven TO
make the most Of an opportunity offered
him by person irresponsible as a repre-.
sentative of the British nation. Ills
letter indicates that he is. prepared to
make the most Of the least official sin
that may be made on the part of the
British Cabinet or any of its representa-.
tives. Mr.. Seward must be hard driven
when he finds it necessary to EXPIRE IS so
much indignation in so trifiing an affair.

SUMMARY OF THE NEWS
The 2ribunc gives the following in its
summary of the news:
The gucrrilas who infcst the banks Of
the river Potomac have become very
troublesome of late, and hardly a night
passes without their firing upon our
pickcts or making an attempt to cross
the river. On Wednesday night, party
of rebels, numbering fifteen, crossed the
Potomac on raft, in the vicinity of
Poolesvillc. They managed to get some
eight miles from the river before they
were discovered. They were pursued,
ovcrhaulcd, and ten Of them taken pri-
soncrs.
The steamer California, from Hilton
Heads arrived at Fortress Monroe yes
tcrday, with Colonel Ewing, bearer OF
dispatches from General Sherman. The
army was resting and preparing for an
other great campaign. fitzpatrick was
actively watching Ilardce's movements.
A notorious guerrilla captain, named
White, was killed recently at Sharpsburg,
Kentucky, in an attack upon the Twenty
first United States colorcd regiment.
The committee Of the Chamber OF
Commerce, in relief fer the people Of
Savannah, had meeting yesterday
There was general willingness 70 raise
contributions for the Union people or
others actually in need ). but at the same
time the most outspoken expression, by
all those joining in debate, that the re-
bells, as such, must be brought back,
and their so-callcd Government be OBJ
liberated by force of arms. In order to
give direction to the main business,
sub committee of five was appointed to
report, at subsequent meeting, what
course should be taken to carry out, in
the most practical and efficient manner,
the recommendations to furnish supplies
to the suffering Unionists of the city of
Savannah.

THE "NEW DIRECTION" FOR THOMAS.

THE "NEW DIRECTION" FOR THOMAS.
The New York Tribune now states
positively that Hood is safe over the
Tennessee. A Nashville correspondent
saws of the new base of Thomas:
Tennessee is now perfectly safe; no
future attempts will BE- made by the
rebels to occupy and hold it. Therefore,
a new base of supplies will be found
The line of railroad from Nashville,
south, is very long, and hence requires
the detachment Of great number of
troops to guard it, and from this point
north, the Louisville railroad is often
cut, and the Cumberland river is only
navigatle in winter. | believe, though,
that Nashville will soon cease to be of
much importance as military centre. A
strong guard will be 'lelt here, and the
base Of supplies will be changed to Flo
renee. Of this, l have no doubt.
The Tennessee is navgablc for small
boats from Chattanooga to its mouth at
all seasons, and for large ones from Flo
renee to its mouth in high water, the
only exception being between Deca
tur and cambridge, over the muscle
shoals. Around these there is railroad
only forty-five miles in length, and this
could be kept open with comparatively
few men. About the shoals there arc
numerous boats which run to Chatta
nooga. and there are also several small
gunboats to keep the river open.
We shall then have the advantage of
a water base and river line of defence.
/ have often wondered that this has not
been before adjusted; but feel certain
that it will now be employed as base.
With an efficient cavalry force, properly
supported by infantry and light artillery,
Selma and Montgomery will speedily fall
into our hands. Those towns would be
no further from Florence than Nashville
is from Louisville; and Louisville was
our base in 1861 and 1862; and Florence
is to-day more securely ours than Louis
vile was then.
