II Mr. Seward has really attached importance TO, or

outcres Of some Confederate journals calling England
and France for Gods sake to come and save us from our
enemies and to demand Of US what they please In re-
ton Of States and acceptance Of that Of colonies ruled

very well that all this BODIES no good to him and to
has Onion" i is no reaction in favor Of the old
Union but, on the contrary, sceU founded Indignation
against course Of administration which would end
throwing back into the clutch OF the Washington

he ISL then that astute minister might DO pleased and
say TO himself like Cromwell at Dunbar, snow know
that the Lord hath delivered them into mint hand"
We are told, 10 be sure, that Seward was horribly
frightened at the intes hint of offering ourselves to
France and England humple dependents If they
would only step and rescue from the Yankees.
II is said "he seized with repidation and rushed
forward to foresta the effect, Oh moi That intei-
gent person has not yet fallen into imbeciy
and idiocy. He is not alarmed at all; but rather
quite charmed, TO find there writer's In of the
Richmond papers, proclaming TO all the earth the read

to the highest bidderand that while nobody Is bidding

these miserable Of panic in the eyes OF
foreign Powers hoping to produce them the impress

professions must be poor spirited gang rebels

that such outcries are true indication OF the temper

has found the Sanitary Commission prepared
for its proper work. For u month past
agents and supplies have been quietly but
steadily Rccumulating at convenient points
in anticipation of the movement that has re-
suited so gloriously to our arms. The wagon
trains Of the commission entered both Rich
mond and Petersburg in company with our
victorious troops, and sdvices are received
that the section of the army now in pursuit
Of Leo is fully attended by both relief agents
and supplies. Over ono hundred experienced
and we'll trained men are now ut work In this
department; and when We consider that this
organized band had at its disposal on the 18th
instant supply Of stores "suficiecnt to
meet all necessary demands, y and that such
supply has been since increased by the arri-
val at City Point Of two Schooners loaded
with the proper material, 1t will readily Np.
