• British CouiliUncy.
Ii is difficult to discover in whst principle
there is agreeinent in the statesmen who now
administer the affairs of Eoglaod, as regards
neutral obligations. Men who sit at the same
Council boa id and on the earner benches in the
House of Commons, speak to the people in con
tradictory language. The Prime Minister, Lord
Palmerston,and his Chancellor of the Exchequer,
Mr. Gladstone,his Foreign Secretary, Lord John
Russell'Snd bis Secrnary for Ireland, Sir Robert
Peel, deliver themselves differently on the ques
tion of Recognition. But not only on questions
ol present policy do we flhd these contradictions.
We see that on abstract points of public law no
two of her statesmen or of her publicists enter
tain similar opinions.
In recent Parliamentary debates on the ques.
lions brought before the Paris Conference in 1856,
Lord Derby differed in his views of the effect of
the declaration that free ships shall make iree
goods; in case of a war with the United States
France would engross, he thought, the whole of
the carrying trade. I.ord Glanville conceived
that in case of such a war the British navy would
so completely blockade the ports of the tormcr
that none of her vessels would be able to come
out. Lord Palmerston had no fears on the sub
ject. Lord Russell expressed himself disaatis..
bed with that part ot the Paris arrangements
that permitted neutrels to have unlimited free
dom in carrying enemy’s goods. He regarded
the question as one affecting the whole maritime
power of Great Britain.' Sir George C. Lewis,
the Secretary ol War, hinted that the Paris Des
durations were not binding on Euglsnd during
war, for which he'was rebuked by Mr. T. Bar
ing.
Mr. .Bright thought that the Paris Declara
tions ought to havo gone farther, and not only
declared that free ships should make free goods,
but that free goods s'hould make free ships—in
other Words that the Ireedom which exempts
Irom capture the vessels of a belligerent having
on board neutral property ought to be permitted.
The Solicitor General, Sir Ronndell Palmer,
waa apparently more liberal in hia views than
hia political compeers, yet he differed irom them
essentially, lie thought the honor of the gov
ernment committed to the maintenance, in war
as well a* peace, of the Paris declarations, par
ticularly that affirming that free ships should
make free goods. So much for this important
principle adopted in the Pans conference, in the
view of British Paliamentarians.
But it is remarkable, amidst this contrariety
of opinion at regards the probable effect on
British interests, in war, of adherence to it, that
not a word should have been uttered in relation
to tho no less important modification of the law
of blockade at that conference. As that law
stood, as part of the law of nations, an effective
blockade is defined to be “evident danger on en
tering a blockaded port." The Paris declaration
says “blockades to be binding must be effective;
that is to say, maintained by a force sufficient
really to present access to the coast of the enemy."
How does this definition apply to the facta patent
to all observation, that vessels daily enter the
port ol Charleston ? Here was a striking change
in the language defining blockade, yet it did not
elicit a word in ibis debate from any of the
speakers, and although allot'them admitted that
British honor was bound by the Paris Declares
lions, and among them Lord Ruoae', yet this
same Lord Russel permits the Liucolu govern
ment to maintain a blockade that is so far inef
fective—so far from preventing access to the coast,
vessels daily enter the harbor of Charleston.—
do much for British consistency.
But sot only do we flad this contradiction
between British precept and praotioe, and
between their Parliamentary leaders, those
clothed in ermine and presiding in their
highest courts of jifttioe, are chargeable with
this political sin. Lord Stowell, one of their
magistrates of the highest judicial eminence,
differs in hia views of pnblio law, as regards
its binding force, on the consciences of Eng
lish judges, from Sir William Molesworth
another distinguished British judgo, and
from Dr. Lnahington an eminent civilian.—
Bat not only this, Lord Stowell differs from
himself. In a judgment pronounoed by him
in 1799, in a price court, he said "the per
son who sits here is to determine this ques
tion exactly as he would determine the same
question if sitting at Stockholm, asserting no
pretensions on the part of Groat Britain that
he would not allow to Sweden*’’ In other
words he would be bound to docide in con
formity with principles of publio law. Seven
years after, this same Lord Stowell declared
that he waa bound by the British orders in
oounoil—that municipal was paramount to
public law—that he was obligated to follow
the King’s instructions, and not the maxims
of that law.
This slavish judge went further than any
of his predecessors or successors, in main
taining the supremacy of British maritime
power, in defiance of pnblio law and natural
justice. He was friendly to allowing the
capture of private property at sea as an in
centive to the avarice of British officers. In
fact, nearly all British statesmen are favora
ble to that system of legalized plnnder which
consists of qppturing private property at sea,
refusing to assimilate it with property on
land, in this respect, having all the time on
their lips the words justice, right, and hu
inanity. They loudly condemn privateering,
yet where is the- distinction between captur
ing private property with a commission as a
privateer, and capturing it with a commission
as a public armed vessel T C.
The Confederate Tax Bill.
We have received a copy of the Tax Bill now
before Congress. The Bill is a long one, and
may be altered and amended in various ways
before it becomes a law. But, aa it is a matter
of universal interest, we give a synopsis ot its

The Press of.the West ou the War.
From the Detroit (Michigan) free hw.
Mr. Lincoln’s administration have undertaken
to do w hat no civilized Government ever suc
ceeded in—what Great Britain, even Louis Na»
poieon or the Czar of Russia, would not dare to
attempt—to crush and exterminate ten millions
of people, armed and united in the cause, which
they esteem that of their liberty, their homes
and their honor.
From ; he Columbus (Ohio) SUtetmtn.
There can be no question as to the fact that at
this moment at least seventy «fivo per cent of the
people ot Ohio desire peace—not that they have
any sympathy with the rebellion, or that they
would not make any and every sacrifice to re
store the Union, but because they are convinced
that the imbecility and corruption which in high
places, the perversion oi the war from the legit
imale object for which it was commenced, the
frequent and palpable violationaof the Constitu
tion by those in power, the gross assaults upon
the liberty ot the citizens, and the other flagrant
abuses and despotic practices which prevail in
all the departments of the^governmem* have led
them to believe that at 4 thc rate we are hurrying
on, our Constitution and Union and the granc
and glorious form of government which our
fathers gave ns„will soon be lost, and the coun-
try be forever and irretrievably ruiued*
From the Dayton'(vhW) Empire.
It ia hard to conceive of the great joy that
will animate and enliven the hearts of the peo*>
pie when this cruel slaughter of Americans by
Americans is ended; when the martial music of
the hateful fife and drum is superceded by the
sweet song of peace; when the march of ar
mies gives way to the march of industry and
civilization: when spears shall be turned into
pruning hooks, and swords into plowshares, and
the goddess of Liberty, folding away forever
the bloodistained banner of civil war, wears
upon he^ wounded bosom the healing olive
branch of peace.
Fromihe Fort Warren (Ini) SsUineL
In view of the disasters which attend our
arms on the Potomac, the otter demoralization
of our army, the dissensions among our Gene
rals, and tho determination of Lincoln. Staun
ton and Halteck to prevent General McClellan
or any of his friends—or, in.fact, any Demo,
cratic General who designs carry iug.on the war
for the salvation of the Union rather than to
build up the Abolition party—from successfully
carrying on a campaign, ia it not time to inquire
if our national difficulties cannot be adjusted in
some other way than by fighting f
From the Mullen (Ohio) Sentinel.
We can never restore this Union. The time
when force could have accomplished anything
has passed. As long S6 the people placed cons
fidence in the integrity of the administration,
so long there , was hope that the Government
would oe able to maintain itself. Bnt that con
fidence ta gope. Not one man in ten in our en
tire army, or throughout the non.sGeedcd States,
now believes that the war is being conducted
for the preservation of the Union. Hardly any
one, save those who are coining money out of
tho nation’s calamity, has any confidence in Mr.
Lincoln or his advisers.
From the Hamilton (Ohio) Telegraph.
One universal cry for' peace goes up from
every home. Four-fifths of the brave men
now in the field desire peace. Those who
love the Union, and are loyal to it, wont this
war stopped; those who desire separation
olamor for us continuance. The very life
blood of the nation has beon rapped from it,
and jet we hear the fanatics cry for war—
war and extermination. The real enemies
oi the Government are those who have been
loudest and most blatant lor slaughter ; they
are those who have only a monied interest iu
the war, and have m&do no sacrifice of life,
or property’, or friends. These men having
never relt the desolation incident to the loss
of a 8 an or a brother on the battle field, sneer
at the weeping mother and friends, and oven
accuse them of doubtful patriotism. Mon
write long war articles for pay ; and when
we see a man inditing blood and thunder
leaders for loyal newspapers, or some brain
less fool clamoring louder than his fellow for
inoTe lives; we are sure there is some con
sideration, some pay at the oottom ot it all.
Men in high places, drawing large salaries,
can afford to damn the rebels and denounce
traitors in the North. It is a pleasant thought
for the soldier, toiling and bioeding through
strife and storm to hoar of his negleoted
family, how the patriots promised protection
and- bread to the wife and child, and gave
them none. The brave tnau standing amid
the sleet and snow ot a winter night, or
marching to the death, and all the while the
loved ones at home dying from want. Any
one who reads the papers of New York, tit.
Louis and Cincinnati, will know that this is
no fabrication, no pieture of poesy.
Richmond Examiner, March 14.
Bow to maintain Our Liberty.
The intelligent portion of the Northern people
are now fully aware that their liberties are com
pletely gone, and that the government has i'al
len into the grasp of arbitrary and unlimited
power. The reader has seen in the extracts
from thtfir provincial press published in this pa
per yesterday, that they are occt-pied with sad
and hopeless speculators on the question,wheth
er another general election will be held iu its
appointed time. It is evident that the thoughts
ful portion of that public know their condition
without possessing the will or power to strug
gle tor change. Remembering the rights they
jossessed two years ago, and looking on the po.
itical manacles which now bind their hands,
they utter only the naturalgptirase of weakness
and improvidence when the calamity they have
rendered inevitable has at length arrived, "who
would have thought it!"
It is too late to attempt resistance now. The
first encroachments of powerare easily resisted,
but it permitted, they become difficult to check;
when they are completed, even in quiet iimes.it
is almost impossible tu redress them ; but at a
period like tile present,. when the country is a
camp, and a machine called an army, consisting
o: eight hundred thousand men, is ready to
crush the bold individual who shall insist on ex*,
ercising the privileges he supposed himself to
have iherited, successful resistance to arbitrary
power is not only impossible, but the attempt is
mere madness.
Let the South be warned by the. spectacle
which the North has presented' during these
years. What has happened there has not hap
pened here ; but it might have done so, and it
tnay yet happen. The elastic plea of public he»
ceasity deluded the North. The people were
told that all the power of the country must be
concentrated in the hands of one man, that he
might crush a rebellion ; that private suffering
anil injustice be committed to prevent the
der-> rui iion «>; the nation. The same overpow
argument has been olteii urged on the
•r ot the Southern Congress and in the South
ern press. The nation has refused to listen to
it, and up to the present point in the war, has
preserved iu Constitution intact. - But when
the tug ot trial comes, and the weak ore alamed
we shall hear it again, and if the represnta-
fives of the nation then listen, the Constitution
and the cause will die together.
For never was sophism more fallacious than
this. The strength of the Confederacy will de
tart from it, the moment it becomes a pale re
lex of the Northern Empire. The North pus
sesses greater numbers, and physical advans
tagea in a greater degree than the South. Yet
the South resists with success, and why I Be
cause oi its superior moral force. This is still
a free republic. Our armies fight with courage
for their property and liberty. Our people eu
dure the ills of war with fortitude, that their
laws and privileges may be secured. The
North is governed by a despotism. Iis soldiers
and its people are slaves. But if we do as the
North has done, and surrender all the (towers of
the State into the hands of one man, the South
will be governed also by arbitrary power, and
its people too wilt be slaves. Then the strug
gle will resove itself into a struggle between
two despotisms, each possessing a certain
amount ot brute force. As the South, has far
less of this than the North, the conclusion is
inevitable that the South must succumb. The
only hope of this country rests on a strict ad
herence to its republican principles. The res
toration of the Union becomes a possible thing
the iqoment it is presented in the torn of this
question: Shall we belong to a great .country
governed by arbitrary and despotic power, or
belong to a little country also governed by arbi
trary and despotic power l
Antl-Blocbnde Rumor.
Pursmine, the racy war correspondent of the
Charleston Courier, writing trom Savannah on
the 14th inst., in discussing the probable duras
lion ot the war, incidentally gives the following:
Again, it has been stated that Mercier, the
French Minister at Washington, has expressed
the opinion that the blockade would be opened
before the first of May. Be this as it may; I
attach no credit to the remark. We hive been
deceived too often by statements of this nature
But there is a singular fact which coincides with
the observation worthy of notice.
If I have been correctly informed a certain
law firm in-Charleston has recently drawn up a
contract with certain French agents tor the de
livery of several millions of dollars worth of
Cotton, Rice and Tobacco. The first instal
ment is to be paid, or the first delivery made,
am net certain which, within a tew weeks.-
How f If officially, the riddle is solved. The
blockade will be opened by French sbipa-of war.
Otherwise the transaction politically amounts
to nothing. A considerable quantity of Sea Is
land Cotton, snch as is mostly used in the man
utaclurc-til French fabrics, has already been
bought by parties in your market, whose char
acter favors the idea that the purchase has been
made fur that Government.
Johx Van Boken on ths War.—At a late
Union meeting held in New York, loha Van
Boren is reported to have said:
“In any way, however. I am fur a vigorous
prosccution of the war, and for sdsiaioiog the'
Government in a general assault on the very
stronghold of the rebellion, and iii ninety days
the people will he astonished at themselves lor
ever believing that the Administration has such
a wonderful strength as they supposed.
Tbc Washington Chronicle says that “the
Democrats have nobly resolved to postpone all
disputes, and to heal alt dissensions, and to
strengthen the Executive in every measure he
has adopted to crush the rebellion.’’
The Army- Signal Corps.
BOW MESSAGES ARE GOMHUNIOATED—NOVEL
WAT OF CONGEALIN'} DISPATCHKS—CURIOUS
SIGNS, RIO.
Though the sigual corps is a regular and
important arm of the military service, few
persons know of its use and objects. The
following from tho New Orleans correspon
dence in a Northern paper, of the signal
corps in that department, will give some
interesting information on a subject of
which very little .is known out side its own
members:
The signal corps department connected
with this division of the army in Louisiana
is a well regulated, well instructed and most
efficient arm of the service. The system of
signalizing now in use in the service organ
ized with' Mty'or Myer, an officer of the
regular army, and is probably the most
complete and thorough code of the kind,
for the purpose intended, now extant in any
country. By this method of signalizing,
messages can be read through a telescope
at a aistance of twenty to twenty-five miles.
Dispatches can be sent in the sole of the
carrier’s boot, in the hair of his head, or in
the stitches of his coat or breeches, and that
too without the scrape of pen or slip of pa
per ; indeed the carrier himself is as ignor
ant of the code, and of the interpretation of
the message he carries, as the rebels would
be, into whose bands he may chance to fall,
or whose prisoner he might become. Kota
single line, or sentence, or word could he
or they, or both united, ever make out.
None can read or decipher the messages or
understand the signals, but those familiar
with the code and none but the most relia
ble of commissioned officers, (and these
even are sworn under the penalty of death
should they divulge the secret, either to
friend'or enemy,) are ever taught it. An
other safeguard thrown around the system
is that it is all unwritten. The instruction
is oral, without books or written teaching.
The knowledge of the art cannot be gab
bled or pilfered, and thus rendered subser
vient to the armies of the enemy.
On the battle field flags ar generally used
!or transmitting messages from point to
point and from station to station through
out the whole lines, and these little tell
tales of discoipi'ort to the enemy are looked
upon by the generals with feelings of in
tense bitterness—lienee the extraordinary
efforts of his sharpshooters to pick off the
signal officer from his eyrie, cr keen look
out.
At the battle of Napoleonville, several
officers of- the signal party-had their horses
shot under them, and during the engage
ment several others were wounded. In
dene logs or storms, when flags are not
available, messages can be sent by sound of
cannon, musket, drums, or other noises,
intelligent to the sigoal officer, and as
readily distinguished as other signs of the
code; and besides those above described
there may be other methods Of transmitting
messages and conveying intelligence of
an enemy’s movement not here enumera
ted.
In the department of the Gulf -there are
permanent stations for signalizing—at New
Orleans, Algiers, Camp l’arapet, and the
United states barracks, six miles below
the city, on the left bank of the Mississip
pi, a short distance from the old battle
ground of Gen. Jackson, and where the
English General Packenham was killed in
theffirar of 1812.
The face of the country in this part of
the State is so very flat that signal stations
have to be erected upon the roofs of houses
and the tops of large trees. The "lookout”
at Camp Parapet, nearly opposite the win
dow from which I write, is fifteen feet
from the ground, is built iu the top of a
giant oak, near to the levee, or river’s
bank, and connects directly with a station
upon the top of the custom house at New
Orleans, where General Bntler has his head
quarters, and irom which at any moment
he can send or receive dispatches as the
circumstances may require. Tnis lookout
consists of two stagings, the one from six
to seven feet above the other. Upon the
lower stage is placed a telescope, so adjust
ed as to take the exact line of the custom
house, and remains there a permanent
fixture. There is also upon this first stage
a firm seat tor the signal officer, and from
which he issues his orders and sends or
receives his dispatches. Upon the upper
■stage the flag or light, or whatever signal
may be used, is placed under the care of
an experienced operator who knows the
sign and motions of the torch or the flag'
which he handles in obedience to the
signal officer upon the stage below, but
who does not know a single word ot the
message or information which his motions
and waves and other gestures tell out to
the station at headquarters. Tho watch
men 'at the stations are relieved at intervals
of from two to four hours, and the penalty
for neglect of duly or sleeping on the post
is as severe as in. any other part of the
service.
Printing Paper.—The Boston Journal
says that the consumption of paper in this
country equals that of Great Britain and
France together. In 1854 it was estimated
that 25,000,000 lbs, were made here, valued
at $25,000,000. About 405,000.000 pounds
of rags were used, at an average cost of
four cents per pound. In New England,
the Middle and Western States, the value
of book, job, and newspaper printing was
returned by the last census (1860) as
$39,428,843, of which eleven millions worth
consisted of books, the valne of the latter
being nearly equal to the whole product of
the same branch in 1850, which was return
ed at $11,586,549. The manufacture of
paper has increased in an equal ratio, the
State of Massachusetts alone producing
paper of the value of $5,968,469, being over
58 per cent of the product of the Union in
1850.

igp'Fhe Boston Post says, that, according
to Mr. Sumner, the sublimest scene of the
war was the elevation by Gen. Banks of the
negro girl on the cannon; but a Memphis
observer, describing the immense rush after
cotton along the railroad between Jackson
and Vicksburg, says :• “If there is one
spectacle more sublime than acy 'ther
afforded by the present strife, it is a steam
boat load of well-dressed gentlemen rush
ing forward heroically to take the profits
of the war when the risks are all over. It
makes one feel that we have not lost our
character as a commercial people.”
pT A very fatal disease is prevalent in
some portions of the State among the hogs.
The first symytom is a stiffness in the
shoulders. We have been requested Jo
notice it, and ask ocr agricultural friends
to give a remedy for it.—Charleston Mur wry.
