The intelligence tiom Vicksburg, though mill
somewhat indefinite, is sufficiently reliable and
assuring to inspire the fullest confidence that
the (luren City of the West is impregnable, al
least, while she has such troops as those who
have so far withstood the Yankee assault, and

There ia a general disposition among all class
es to give VaHandieham, when he reach-re our
city, a cordial reception. He is univetsally ee-
teemed for his manly independence end his bold
denunciations of the Washington despotism. I
still, however, adhere to tho opinion that after
a full and friendly interchange of views with
the Authorities here, he will deem it most con
sistent with self-respect and his duty to the pop
ular cause tn bis own country, which he has so
ably Bnd so consistently advqga'cd, as well as
more compatible with the dignity ol the Con
federate government, to retire to some other
country—eay Canada—from which his eloquent
voice may still reach bis p-'uple and startle the
tyrant on bis throno. However this may be, I
have no question, from ell I can learn that Mr.
Valtandigham’s own wishes will control the
matter, and if be desires to live with us for a
time in the quiet retirement of a private eentlc-
tiun, exiled from bis country for the free expres
aion o' his honest convictions, every facility
.will be afforded-him, as every confidence is felt
in his integrity and honor.
Tbe Enquirer ot this morning has a well writ
ten leader in which the tuture of the North
westarn States of tbe old Union is discussed at
length. Though the article has not the ring of
John Mitchell’s able and dssaical pen, it dis
cusses ihe subject with ability anffgood, sound,
practical sense. It reproduces and sustains the
viewa pnt lortb at the commencement of tbe last
session of Congress.by Governor Footo of Tenn,
in hia celebrated resolutions, and even goes a
step farther; for it avows its intention‘-to di
plomatize with them; in the most soothing and
seductive manner," and odds, “We would be
willinig not only to make with them commercial
trealita, on the mutual footing of the most fav
ored nations, but, also, to conclude with them a
military alliance, offensive and defensive." Of
course, this offer ia made to depend on tbeir sev
erance iromthe Yankee government. Governor

After five days bumping mid jostling over the
worst road in tbe universe, I reached this city
yesterday, more dead than alive.
I think if the MiacUsippiana coaid all see the
work of vandalism dons hare by the army ot
Grant, principally composed of oar kind friends
in the Northwest, they would respond with
more alacrity to the stirring appeal of General
Johnston, than they are doing, which I regret
to say, has not come up to what was expected
of a people who bat a few days since saw tbeir
homes given to the flames, and their wives and
helpless children driven out iaio the blinding
rain to trudge afon amid the jerrs and taunts
ol the incarnate fiends, to some shelt.tr from the
elements.
Mo pen of mine can pottray the work pf de
vastation done by 'he enemy. On ever* side

Quite a large and respectable meeting of
LoaifimnUns and other resident* of Richmond
was held here last evening in the Hall of the
House oi Delegates to provide relief for the exiles
driven from New Orleana by the infamous amal-

The meeting waa composed of the right mate

to collect fondt for the purpose. But there was
too much old fogyism about tho affair to meet,
in a proper spirit of actively and energy, the

owed last January.
On the Sl-ijif January last an article appeared in
the New Tork World, a inch recent event* have made
remarkable. In II the editor declared that there hud
been o radical change In the theory of the war on the
pait of the Government «f the United State*.' After
saying that the war on the port of the Federal* must
be ofhnaive, and on our ]*art defensive, and alluding
to the coincidence of the prophecy of Gen. Scott In
Axing the place of the grraleit struggle of the war ou
bank* of theUissisaippI; and the latter day prophets
in filing Ibe Great Mississippi Valley a* the place where
the great battle of Armageddon, should toko place, the
FoWdadda: -Tickabnrg and Port Hudson matt be
defended at all hazards, says Jeff.rs.on Davis, and it la
quite clear that he comprehend* the movement.* of
th* Fedtral* armlet.” The World lh«n expresses the
opinion that the Yankee*, notwithstanding the long
lln** upon which they will bare to more, can transport
troops and supplies to the place on tho long rounda
bout circuits by which It must be approached—the
ocean end the river—more rapidly than the South can
over its railroad*. It even doubta if all the combined
rolling stock and locomotive power of the Sonth could
move reserves and supplies to tho point of the great
battle half a* fast as the Tanks could by sea and river
then predict* the fall of Tlcksbn’g,' and lays down
the vary plan tliey are now acting out, as follows:
“So' at Vicksburg, which Ii, after all, tht boarne of
our armies; tho action may commence, as most likely
it will, not In front ot the strongly fortified works, but
at some point where our forces shall attempt to inter-
rust the enemy's line of supplies. This Is most probably
either about the mouth of Big Black river, on the one
band or nt the bluffii on the Yazoo liver, which, once
turned, gives a the entree to the rear ot the citadel.
All the evidences Indicate that there will be an enor.
room concentration of troops at Vicksburg and Port
Hudson. These two place* are reciprocally support
ing each other. Let either be taken and the other is
weakened beyond the mere lose of men and material
of war. Th»re ia a atiagetie value in thisdouble corner
of the hostile chest-board. If Gen. Banks should, with
his army prove^ueressful in reducing tbt latter place,
then la hia way open to the fona-r, and with fleets
above and fleeta below there Is but one evonne of ej
ns there is bnt one channel of hope for euccor.
probl m is, the*, merely to block up this lest
channel. This is no novelty in scientific warfare. The
strength and weakness ol Vicksburg is seen, th-re-
f re, not in Jts accumulated ’ines of abatis Irene’’
and par'pet. bnt In the ability with which they can
keep the path open to Interior Mississippi. In one
eon sc, the greater the strength the move certain the
weakness. The more men the sooner famine. Unless
there be men enough twgo out of tbeir entrenchments
and driTethe Federal armies l>y tuperlo r force from the
siege, then thengmd bottqr got be *

be so for pushed that the enemy must encounter us
under ed*er*e circumstances if he wonld drive a*.—
We cen fortify a* wo advance. The advantages of
ground are ours. In other words, <hey must fight at
nt odd* or submit to be starved.
Such is the natural theory of the coming siege of
Vicksburg. So that It will not be a matter of profound
surprise to see the Confederates evacuating the place
nod abandoning the Mississippi to our hands. A tetri
ble alternative In elthor case, equivalent almost to a
decisive defeat; and' at any rate eo far feamlliating to
Ihe Confederates as to lead' to the consamme’ioo of a
speedy treaty of peace.
It i* only fitir, ol eou'se, to presume that the active
enemy will be doing Mb utmost to awrtevsry st»p of
enter ot that State Mr. J. D. McAdeo, a private servtag
tn tha regiment. This they did, having had the tvst
opportunity stror becoming well aeqaated with his char,
aeter, and entertaining the highest eppreeistSon of hU
morel worth and lotellectdal abilities «s n men, and oT
Ms devoted patriotism as a citizen and soldier.
The some paper has the following:
Persia tic CograacxstSf-We learn by n gentleman
from Hempstead, that the ladies of that ecnoty gave a
fair oa last Tneadav night in Hempstead, for tke bene
fit of Waller’s Battalion, the proceeds of which amount
ed te upwards of rxw tbocxss> douam. Thu is the
largest contribution we hose yet heard of at any one
fair, and speaks stronger than eny language for the
patriotism of Austin county.
It also states that tbe rrftte had been very heavy,
and continuous, tar some Says past. Speaking of the
crop 1 prospect m this connection it say*
we think the greatest (Unger te be apprehended to
ps is now from an axcess of rain, for the pres-
end oan ere that th*e 1s to be one among tbe
few rainy seasons of Texas. The chief danger now
threatening the wheat crop Is probably the rust caused
by csntlnued wet weather.
Hma Psicx roe Nxaxou.—The tame paper states
that'a lot qf 81 negroes, bAlosgiug to Gen. H. P. fcec

The lo) embraced families old and young, of both
eexetc none, however, being over Si years ot age, while
some were inltyto ot one year old. The whole lot

leave^ this to be gneiBed at: *
Ess News.—It waa my gded hap to get here today
and witness ths launch of the gun-host Caddo. This
veswl has been built with great dispatch by C-pt. Car
ter, C. 3. Nary, naval enetneer, and her feture com-
that have gone before her, with many of their defect*
remedied nnd sundry late improvements added. She i*
all n W and built of oak. her walls are said to four feet
thick; and then this is to be heavily mailed with iron.
Her ram is of the most formidable character. She
will carry four heavy gnus. A good part of her ma
chinery is now on her, and its soon me she is moiled
she will be ready for Ihe service. She will be a mon
ster cf the deep, and the highest hopes of her.useful
and glor'oao future are entertained by those who ought
to be judges of these molten It is supposed over
three thousand person* witnessed the launch, which
was done with safety and some ceremony. There was
n great many on board whaDthe hedges and stannehe-
ous were removed and the ripe* cut: three Aags were
flying garlaned and wreathed with flowers. A beauti-

Under t' is head the Macon Telegraph of today pro
duces the following:
It ia a fact that the service is losing some of its
best officers from mere Inability to sustain the ex
pense. A Colonel or Brigadier must be prepared to
entertain bis fellow-officers to some extent; but such
Is the enormous prices of provisions, portlculariy in
Virginia, that a man without considerable private
means to fall back upon is soon swamped.
He cannot
violate tbe laws of hospitality on the one hand and is
unable to meet the expense on the other; and thns tn
self-respect has to quit tho service.
We have heard of many excuses for quitting the
army, bnt never, not even in any case of desertion,
have we beard of so worthless and contemptable an
excuse as the above. Bnt we are disposed to deny tbe
proposition that the “service Is losing some of it* best
officers” on tbe alleged *ccoont. The “best officers”
are fighting for their country and not to entertain fel
low-officer*.
If a man who is n professional warrior, and is not
interested in Ibe cause resigns for such a reason, it can
be (infers tood; bnt we have not contempts ltd this.
We also deny that it is a violation of ‘-the laws of
hospitality’' for an officer te entertain his fellow offi
cers in tbe style that privates are entertained, when it
is a necessity; and the Oovornment will certainly pre
side the rations of a private in \tou of $$M to $800 per

The Neto* of the lith Ay hia a highly inter
esting letter from its regular Mexican- corress
pondent dated the 24th April. We make & lew
extracts—the first giving.romo ide* ol the trade
between Texas and Mexico':
A* the froutiar ia.attracting much attention,
being the only ration whdre(Texas gets sup-
.. congregato, I boH*vc .bur people will oqt be
sorry to hear of them once in a while,
Matambraa is now the great commercial place
AQ the stoic houses are crowded. There are at
present one hundred and twtmty-fiva vessels off
the bar, r>aiiy to land weir cargoes. Had it
not been for the lato orders regulating the expor
tation of cotton. I am satisfied that large assort
ments of supplies, goods and merchandize would
have found their waj to Texas; hut our milita
ry authorities have not looked at this matter like
business men, and whilat endeavoriug to regu
late the trade, they have very nearly destroyed
it. On ihe other hand, the merchants in Mexi
co seem to have lost all confidence in Texas,
for ihe fact that, having taken into the State
largo quantities of supplies, die., they are not
allowed lo export the cotton- which legitimately
belong* lo them. Theso merchants that are cit
izens of Mexico, have certificates of tbe invoices
ol goods entered at tbe different .Custom Houses
on the frontier, and also permits Irom Gen Bee,
allowing them to export their cotton. They are
at a loss to know how said permits ara now dies
regarded by Gen Magruder. Tha truth is, the
trade ha* received a death blow, and that is not
the worst, for if ths merchants of Mexico are
not fairly treated, the importation of Mexican
products may be forbidden.
I am informed by a reliable gentleman con
nected with the State Government of Tamauli-
pas, that Gov Lopex ia to issue a proclamation,
solemnly stating that Mexico condemns as
criminal, any expeditijn fitted out in- its territos
ry sga'nst Texas, and that jail Mexicans or for
eigners joining the same, will be declared outs
laws.
Whilat at Monterey where I was only a few
weeks, I visited Gov Vidaurri, whom I found to
be friendly to the Sonth. 'He is warmly attached
to Texas. His State is donblieas the most pros
perous in all the Republic.
Speaking of the crops in Monterey he eaaya:
Agriculture, on account of its varied produc
tions, ia a source of great wealth. The crop
amounted a year ago to one and a half millions
of bushels. The cultivation of sugar cane ia
also of great importance. The State yields
over < ighty thousand cargoes (300 Iba each).—
Two crops of black beans, of about twenty
thousand buihels each, are raised. The wheat
crop amounts to abont thirty thousand bushels.
Floor is now very cheap.
He also saya:
Silver, lead,irou, copper, cinuibar, nitrate of
potaah, alabaster and marble, are abundant!
found. The mines, with the exception of lead
are not at present worked very extensively for
want of adequate machinery and enterprise.
In New Leon and Coahutla there aro eight
cotton factories. They have 14,400 spindle9
and 451 looms. They use one million five han
dled thousand pounds of Texas cotton annually,
from. which ate turned out one hundred and
tbirty-one thousand pieces of brown sheetings,
valued [last year) at per piece. -The aver
age priceof cotton was 18c. per bound It sells
now at nSo. per pound.
At La Contancia, a asgar refinery in Monte
rey, four thousand cargoes [360 pounds each]
are refined annually. About fifteen hundred
barrels ot cans brandy ere made at the same
establishment.
Tbe population of Monterey, according to the
last census, ia 43 000. Jo the whole State it is
nearly 200 000.
He also gives the following concerning a
new Yankee movement against the Confede
Slates:
By parlies who arrived here from Califor
nia yesterday, I learn that the Federal troops
at Tucson, Arizona, Were under marching or
ders for the Rio Grande. They are to fall in
with Gen. Garleton’s command somewhere in
Texas.
The object of this expedition is said to be to
cat off the supplies the Confederacy is receiv
ing by the Bio Grande end through Mexico.—
It numbers about 6000, including U. S. regu
lars and New Mexico and California volun
teers I am told that they expect a force of
6000 more men oan be raised in Texas, and on
the Mexican side of (ha Bio Grande. This
expedition will probably work its way to
wards the Golf, with tke aid of tho Union
men (aa they say) In Texas, until the bounda
ry shall be entirely In tbe Federal bauds —
Thoy believe tbe enterprise to be easy of exe-
ention. Tbeir Ire.-pu will probiV.y start frem
H Paso, and taka possession uf the chain of
foils extending towards San Antonio, and
maka each in succt. sttm tbe base of opera
lions against tha next, until the army i« with
in easy communkaskm with a co operative
fores upon tho Gnlf.. My opinion is that, oven
if they should bring 30,000 men [which we
know foil well they cannot do at this time]
they wonld not be able lo r.u&rd a lino like
that of Ike. Bio Grande, 1S00 miles long.
With regard to tbe French seigo of Pnebla,
(hi* correspondent aaya V
The French aro still attacking Puebla, and
there is no doubt aa to thoir cneeesx. The
Mexiean journals magnify every skirmish info
a great battle, perhaps believing that they can
carry the day by exaggeration.
It it true that they have defended Puebla
longer than it was expected, bat we mast not
lose sight of the important faot they are
strongly fortified, and the position of the
French before that city is that of a besieging
force, having drawn their lines aronud Pnebla
and commenced a regular investment of it’—
Besides, as the Mexican Government seem to
hat® concentrated all their forces at Poebla,
it hi not improbable that Gen. Fory’a plan is to
capture the Mexican army, in which cafle
scarcely any resistance will be offered at the
capital of Mrxico.
The General Government has embargoed all
the publio stages in tbe Iaterior, with the in
tention perhaps qf making their exodus from
the capital.
On tbo 4th inst., there waa a popular
movement in the city of Mexico. The people
demanded ibe expulsion of tho French. Ma
ny of tbe members of Congress assembled and
ask) d the same. Tho President objrctod to
Ihe.measure. That evening several French
families ware assassinated by the mob.
It is believed by the most enlightened Mex
ican politicians, that the obiect of Louis Na
poleon is not to establish a monarchy in Mex-
ico, but to overthrow the Liberal party, and
place the Conservative in power. He will
then obtain by treaty, not only the Slates of
Sonora and Sinaloa on the Paoifio, bnt the
-Isthmus of Tehoantepeo, the objeet being not
only to coloni.-.a the mineral regions of the
States, bnt to aecur# the navigation of both
seas.
How Tfxas Women can Fiodt.—The New
Orloans Era, (an abolition sheet) contains the
following lying paragraph about Texas :
' Gov. Lnbbook, in his message to iho Legis
lature, announces that he will not he a candi
date for re-election, bnt that he will fellow the
‘‘impulses of his hr art,” and take a more ao-
tive part in the war. Those who know the
Governor however affirm that he ha* turned
all his property into money, end that the “im-
jiulsoa of his heart” will compel him to leave
tho Confederacy as scon as his term of offioe
expires. The Governor, in his message, slates
that.Texas baa furnished 87,000 troops for the
rebel army. He recommends a State conscrip
tion law, lo embraco ail between tho ages of
10 and 60; and this law has been adot ted by
the Legislature, and is now in force. The
Governor elated that, according to tho closest
calculation, this law wonld add abont 27,000
men to the rebel army. Under its provisions
xberearo no oxemptionr; every man who oan
aland upon Ua foot is to be foroed info the
army.
TO Ibis the Houston {Texas) Telegraph of
theJBth of May makes the following reply:
Thai’s all so, Mr. Era. when this 27,000 maka
ing 104,000 in all irom Texas are all used np,
there are at least as many more boys 13 to 16
who are oxcel.ent riders and first rate shots to
say nothing of thousands of old men of 60 who
boast that they can knock the -black out yet at
a huadred yards. Resides there arc 100,000 wo
men tefi in the State who want but to be organ
ised to mret and destroy tho hordes yonr Gov
ernment hits been Bonding to the conquest of the
South. These women, though charming ladies
in tin) drawing room, will be found to be angels
of destruction on (he battle fteld,.cyery one of
them being armod with bowie knives, pwtole
and long finger nails. With this last instru
ment they tear out the eyes ol tbeir Victims and
string them into necklaces. A very fine orna
ment thoy make too. We advise the editor of
the Era to beware.

Jack Hamilton —It seems this traitorous
renegade has been making , a speech i” New
York, Tha scoundrel lies and slanders hie
State whom he has shamefully deserted and
turned againsl. In that speech, in alluding to
the position he, aa a Southern born man, waa
occupying, he said > “He had been charged
with being guided by his resentments, and ad*
milted that he sprang at once into an abolition*
ist. He loved the Government because he had
received nought but blessings from it—what had
slavery done for him l it had driven him from
his home, end held his wife and children cap
tive. Ought he not to devote the remnant of his
life to wage war against it t"
Jack then procerded to tell what a terribly
disappointed man he was end relates the cause
oi it on this wise : that after he had sent ward
to his friends in Texas that reliel was coming,
and they had a right to expect it, he found oat
when he got to New Orleans with.Banks, that
the expedition wsb not intended ior Texas, bnt
fot Louisiana. He told tbe League that on ac
count of hit being deceived there had been a
sad state of things in Texas. His friends had
organised there, preparatory ioj lining the Fcde*
ral forces at soon as they landed, and had given
some evidences oi pleasure at the expected ar
rival of assistance. Tho rebels, having heard
that the forces under Banks were to operate on
the Mississippi, and not in the Lone Star State,
immediately commenced butchering the poor
Union men.
Ue then sums up the doleful calamities which
befel these mythical companions of hia, in the
following language:
He had no Wans of knowiog how many,
but beknew that some hundreds had lost their
lives in consequence of that disappointment; be
knew tbst they had died deaths that had not
been heard of since the dark ages until now—
they were hanged, ehot and murdered—some
tied up aud scalded to death with boiling wa
ter ; they had been torn asunder by hanging,
wild horses tied to their feet—whole neighbor
hoods had been exterminated and torches ap
plied to tbeir dwellings—they were hanged by
twenties, and tbe work was still going on."

* (Ccruip. odeoc' e> ttwN-w YA-feXtealc* Tott.)
Livxbpool, May 13, 1863 —The Bdcesaion
predilections of this town are so notation*
that it ia .well to look at one of tha causes —
Bsa'des the commtreial interests involved with
the Sonthern S:otes, Liverpool has inherited a
loathsome disease, which fifty years of cau
terizing have not wholly eradicated, and which
accounts in some degree for her sympathy
with the slaveholders’rebellion; and this dis
ease ia the taint of the s ave trade whioh yet
intests the place.'
Three generations ago Liverpool waa the
groat port for the fitting out of slavers, and
Uer merchants grew wealthy in the nefarious
traffic. Hundreds of ships left the Merroy
yearly to capture negroes on the African coast,
and. convey thorn to the American and West
India colonies. Liverpool resisted to the
latest philanthropic ifiorta made to abolish
tho slave trade. Wilberforce waa looked upon
by her merchants with far greater dislike
than tho slaveholders of Georgia or South
Carolina now entertain for Wendell Phillips,
and long after tho British Government nad or
dered tho suppression of 'the slave trade, it
etill larked abont the wharves of this rich
city.
1BI LIVX&roOL “NBCTBAW ”
The sina of the fathers are visited upon the
ohitdren, and to-day the merchants of Liver
pool; with but few exceptions, are hearty
sympathizers with Jeff. Davis and his navy of
pirates. In no other-place ia E-gland is this
feeling so openly expressed. Trenho’m, Fra-
xer & Co , No. 10 Welfi-rd Place, aro noto
riously a Rebel firm. Yet they know how to
make a good thing oat of their Confederate
friends, for when the Confederate loan was at
a premium, a few weeks ago, they prudently
sold ont their bonds, making aa nioo a specu
lation as over gladdened tho heart of a Wall
street broker. James Spenca is also a Con
federate agent. Anolher lou l-mcmhed Ad-
glo-scces-ionisl, who does not hesitate to say
be is a Confederate agent, is William C. Mil
ler, who is also an officer of Iho British Gov
ernment, holding the position of Chief Sur
reyor of Shipping, aud drawing therefrom a
salary of ibreo hundred pounds. I have not
leart.ed what pay bo getv from Jeff. Davis, bnt
he happily exerci td his ability of ‘'serving
two masters.”
TBE NEW CONFEDERATE PIRATE:
Thomas Bold is a shipper of Liverpool whose
name loyal Americana should learn, ile it was
who built the Virginia as a Confederate pirate,
Lieutenant Maury furnishing the fund*. Chap
pell. Jonea &. Co , of 28, Chappell street,recruit
ed tho crew from the Seaman's Home, telling
them they were wanted for a trading veaem
bound for Singapore. Peter Deny, of Dumbar
ton, had a good deal to do with thla pirate,which
earries nine new guns. When off thj north
coast of France tbe Virginia or “Japan," for
that is tbe name under which she cleared for
Singapore,, received ammunition and arms
brought h.-r by the British steamer Atar, and
her crew were informed of her piratical objeet
and the Confederate ffag unfurled. Tv only*
seven of ihe men refused 10 sign the articles,
and were taken back to England by tha Ator,
while those who consented to serve received ten
pounds bounty and a pound a month extra wa
ges. Tbe articles were for ihreq years or during
the war with the United Steles. The'crew
were provided with a sort of bine uniform.

PIRATE8 IN THEIB ORACLES.
The detention by the British Government of
the alleged privateer Alexandria (whoso name
is a very tin welcome compliment to tho Frin-
oess of Wales) baa drawn considerable atten
tion to that vei-stil aa she lies at Toxetb dock,
the last westward of the many decks which
fringe tbe Mersey at this place. As yet; the
Alexandria does not look very formidable.—
She is not large, but is intended for speed; and
though' to all appearance wooden, is cased
within with iron. The masts are raised, and
the deok is laid. But hero the work has been
stopped, and instead of noiry shipwrights, on
ly a re-late Custom House officer sits on bozrd
and prevents tho onrious from intruding; jet
many come to ihe deck to see the Alexandria
iying gracefully in the w4‘er.
**• The workmen lately employed on the ves
sel arc naturally indignant at tho Government
injunction, which, by interfering with the
pragress of the ship, has .thrown two hundred
mon out of work. They deolared that tbe
Booth only needs two or three tuoh o' rang,
swift little steamers to destroy the whole Fod
eral navy. Yet these same jjcu wonld bo en
tirely on Ibe other tile if employed on a Fede
ral vessel. The fact is that Liverpool sbip-
'huilders and workmen wilt—very much like
builders all over tho world—be on (he side of
Vim who pays them best.'
At Laird’s celebrated dock at. Birkenhead,
two Confederate iron dads are approaching
completion, and can be readily seen from Ibe
ferry boats which erose tbe Mersey at Tran-
mere. They arebnilding under the superin
tendence of Capt. B jllock.
The famous pirate Sumter—now the Gibral
tar—has been lying for some time ps$t at Bir
kenhead, undergoing repairs.
The Alexandria, by the way, w*s detained
through the instance of Consul Dudley, who
furnished Mr. Adams with ueoessary evidence
to make out a strong case to the British Gov
ernment.
THE NEW COMMISSION TO ESOLAND-
The arrival or Mr. Starts is noticed faver
ably in all the papers, and under the well
known principle that two beads are better thaa-
one, it is expected tbat he and Mr Adams will
be quite able to avoid further complication*
with tbe British Government. The war feel
ing, quite rampant herea week ago, hss blown
over, and a good Fedtral victory would still
further turn the tide in our favor elsewhere la
