/ «Sg. MOEHmG EDITION gaoh expeditions haa long ago assumed a chronic type. They no longer excite apprehension, and if repeated much oftener, will fail to elicit com.-, toent. They are simply ridiculous. Unless the spirit of the British people has be come as meek as it was formerly haughty, the publication of the correspondence between Se ward, Add ms and Russell, relative to the iron* clad rams, says the Richmond Examiner, will awaken a storm of. indignation that may oause the Foreign Secretary to fall as ignominiously as he did when his shuffling tnel# at the Vienna Congress first came to light. It will be recollected, that at the time those vessels wore approaching completion the greatest alarm pervaded Yankeedom. Fearful visions were formed of the breaking of the blockade and the annihilation of Yankee commerce. Urgent re monstrances were mado to the British ministry to prevent their sailing. No effort was wanting to avert so dire a calamity. Together with di plomatic representations, tho oracular utterances of the press were brought to bear upon the same point. Argupient was .freely mingled with throats. Menaces of war and vengeance were muttered in dissonant tones. If neoesssry, said these mentors of the public, the pirates should not only be captured on the ocean, but chased into the refuge of British ports and destroyed in defiance of "perfidious Albion.” Os course this brnster was looked upon as only an ordinary ebullition of the rage which that abatable nation lashes itself into at the least con tradiction of its will, and a fair specimen oi its courteous mode of dealing with other powers. What must be the surprise of every reasonable man to find that this rioakl outpouring of intern* perate journalism was but a transcript of the deliberate enunciations of the United States Government? What must be the mortification of eveiy high minded Englishman to find that such threats wero aotually mado against his country in official dispatches ; that they were not only received and submitted to, but that the Ministry transgressed .the.bounds of iho law in order to satisfy the insolent demand* of Seward? Tho "meteor flag' has fallen low, indeed, when it is subjected to such degradation, and/orced to dip before tho now dishonored “Stars and Stripes." .. ' £>.;'v;,ul goes dirootly to tlih point. His lan ■ "u.ij.yi is muoli more precise than is usual with him. it is unencumbered with' tho polite cir cumlocution of diplomacy, and void #f that mis liuess which delicately conveys a threat without expressing it in undisguised brutality. He telle Earl It us sell plainly that tho people of the United States are greatly excited on tho subject; that if the vessels are allowed to escape it will be tantamount to war waged by a portion of the British people; that it will be a question wheth er a war with. the whole world, v/ould be any greater evil; that such must be the result, if measures are not taken to provent tho sailing of the rams; tha>, if necessary, the lawn of England must be changed; .hut the United States wn 1 not hesitate to seek the cruisers iu English ports; and that, if tho war navy is inadequate to that purpose, tho whole commercial marine will be employed iu addition. At this part of the dis patou E >.rl Russeil, hadbe been facetiously in cliu«*d, might have made seme humorous com- Hhmu eji the probability of clipper ships and nmii steamers forcing the entrance of British hubors and oveicoming ihe thousand ships of that power. lie ©plica gravely, boivcvdvthat the vessels have been seizrd, and goes into a little argumentative protest against the haste of his fr.tni iso ward, stating that legal forms must, to sohie extent, be observed in England, aaffthat some proof is necessary of the illegal character of a vessel before proceeding to her seizure, H j also urges foioibiy enough that there is no solid distinction between furnishing one bet ligisreni with arms and another with' ship3. Un fortunately for himself, the better hi* logic the deeper his humiliation. If the Yankee demauds aro really unreasonable aud unjust, the more Contemptible his conduct in acceding to thenfi Better to acknowledge the cogency of hte op* poneirs a'gunicnis thau to rebut bis reasoning while ho cowers before his rnenaeo. Better to yield ihe dialectic victory than to stale txo«l« lent reasons for doing right, just before doing exactly wrong. So far Seward is triumphant. Russel! strain ed the law to oblige him, uLd, as he himself stated, intends to apply to Uarliautent for an Act of iudeuutity. The publication ot this cor respondence wiil not smooth his path. It shows that the Yankees have builied England much in the seme style in which that power has been accustomed to treat SpHu, Naples, and Denmark, There may be poetical justice in thus l,eoin .mending the poiseoei chalice to her owq lips'* but it will prove a nauseous draught to iho nation, But a few jerrs have passed since the Pal merston Minist-y was toppled from its place by the storm of indign&'ion aroused by its endea vour to frame a law to meet tho case of assas sination concerted in England against the French Emporor. Omni had fearfully excited the ap prehensions of the Emporor and his people- Threats were hinted agaiost Eogland for the complicity in harbouring conspirators, and the Qovtrnmcn were diaposed to act ia the mauer. But a trem»-n ljuß reaction took place among the people at the idea of foaeign dictation. From the Commons there came up &u indignant re* i spouse, worthy of the martial barons cf the Plantagcuets, noivmns leget Anglia mntari" When ho di-- »suro is made that under this tiiim I‘j io ti ,i’s premiership, the defender put s*!dUnoi of ihc honor of England, such an af* frontijhaa bee4,t»melypocketed,U is'natural to ex pect an eiplotfon ofindignation at least as gres’ as that which was excited by 6 - * partial concess siorijjttnder much mbry ex tenuatihg y c ircums:an ew, to a much more dignified antagonist. It will still, probably, be diemod prudent to re? strain the rams from sailing, bur the public mind will be much mare embitteroi against cur ene mies, and will be disposed to resist any future ■training of the law to our prejudice. [ The Yankee press is jubilant on the subject. I They' r*>joiss-/at having teen permuted ' to in- I dulge their favorite bullying propensity with im- I pun it y, but are a little disappointed that .Louis Napoleon did not snare in Seward's lecture. | Let them be satisfied. There is no abolition Secretary in Franca to corapromi-e the h>.nor of his country for tho sake of ben fitting, as be supposes, the African race. The French, too,i are sensitive to tusult. Louis Napoleon holds a throne and inherits ft name which does not per mit him to submit to humiliation. If the “Em pire is peace," it I? also gloyy-and honor. France, too, is equally as formidable as England to. the Yankees, *nd much less vulnerable. Let tho Herald be content. Mr. Seward, like the bully in the Story, knows whom Louis Na poleon is not Earl B ussed. [From the London Standard ] L'annot be Subjugated. The South seek.- for disunion. It wish es to be left alone as a separate peupie.— It dr.e* not desire the conquest,- it does not aim at the-humiliaiion of the North.— It will never be satisfied with anything less than disunion—with tho complete and unreserved recognition qf the State rights guaranteed by toe Constitution of the iate United States. Disunion is inevitable. If every array of the South were dispersed; if the Northerners were to gam a hundred battles; if every city in the South were garrisoned by Northern troops, every river - swept with Northern armaments, it would but delay for a time the accomplishment of the end, which is about as certain as that the sun rises and sets. la the war of In dependence the English drove the Amen* leans about like sheep, aud. occupied every strategic point in the States lor months together. They were obliged hi the end to give way to the indomitable will of a peo ple determined to be tree. . The Americans of that time were but a handful in comparison so the Southerners of to day. You cannot hold down by any known force, ten millions of people who have sworn to achieve their independence. The armies ol Lee and Johnston might' be disbanded to morrow; they, might go like Israel, “every man to his tent;’/ and ali the military operations ol the Confederate Gov ernment be suspended. The Federal* would be as far as ever from the conquest of the South. There would Still be an ene my in every cottage, a rebel in every field. To reduce this whole population to a corn* dition worse than that of negro slavery would be a task beyond the strength of the mightest patjop on. earth It is not in the power of the North to make the South the Poland of America, nor rs it could be done, would it ever prove profitable or pleasant. The time has now arrived when the pol iticians of the North are alive to the truth of what.is told us by every map of South ern blood, that ther.e is nmv between North and South So impassable a barrier of hatred that never under any circumstances, can they be reconciled and re-united. at W perhaps within the power of the Northern belligerents to drive their antagonists to such a last extremity of despair as that which maddened the people ,of Carthage when their extermination had tjgen decreed by the Roman Senate. When every city has been sacked, every village given to the flames, every farm laid waste, when every Southern man has been slant in battle, ev ery woman has offered herself up on the altar of her country, wh.en every State south of the Potomac is a desert of ashes and of corpses—then, and then only may the North take possession. Those who think that there is a Providence that rules the world will uol believe, ja the possibility of such a catastrophe. The people of the North are ali jubilant just now atthe fate successes of their ar mies. The disastrous defeats of the armies pf McClellan, Pope, Burnside and Hooker plunged them, not very long ago, into the depths of despair. In presuming oh the subjugation of thq South because Lee has retired and Vicksburg has - fallen, they are as much in the wrong as they were in re garding these Southern victories as deci sive.of the war. With such power of rai sing armies, and with so vast an extent of ground on which to deploy them, the war must go on ; indefinitely, eo long as either North or South choose to continue it. The tail of Vicksburg, of Port Hudson, and tho opening olthe Mississippi to the Federal armaments are - great calamities to the Confederate cause ki the- West, because they cut off from tiic reel of thiilSouth those Sfates which are west of the river. But. as in ail ivmteste where naval iarces aye brought into piav, the 'North. hasatKiia naense auvaoi-r.ge over dip South, tiieee oc currences caimo; be said to ha we been un - Iwre-een.

Garret Davis’ Reply to Senator Wil son's Resolution to Expel Him from the Senate. His (Mr, Davis’) resolution only propos* ed to institute a plain and frank investiga tion of the measures of the administration, and he intended to continue such investiga tion until the Senate expetied him ; and if they should do that, he had a higher mis sion as an American Senator and freeman born under the Constitution, which he had imbued in his infancy and cherished i; manhood ?—he would go home among Ihe people of his loved, native Kentucky, and raise the cry of oppression, tyranny, usur pation and revolution against the faithless men who have charge of the Government. We had fallen on evil times, indeed. We have a great rebellion second only in im portance to that when Lucifer was thrown from heaven. We have in this administra tion of the Government, in ail the depart ments men who are sworn to support and defend the Constitution, not for the power it confers upon them, but for the liberties it gives the people, recreant to their high trust, and by the abuse of power both civil and military trying to subvert that. Constitution and the proper liberty it secures to the erti* zen ; and yet any man having the audaci« ty to question ihe wisdom and constitution ality of the policy of the adminis'ration is branded as disloyal.. We have had great men in ihe past; tho founders of the Gov ernment were great, wise men and patriots. When he desired to learn their principles of Government, he went to the noble foundation of political knowledge es tablished by them. Such men as the Sen* ator from Massachusetts only perform the base office of muddying the fountain. He is not fit for any other work. On- this sub* ject Mr. Webster held that it was the “un doubted right of legislators to scan the acts of public menthat this right was as un* doubted as the right of breathing or walk* ing the earth. It is the last right that he would abandon. He would exercise it at all hazards. At an humble distance and in this feeble way, he intended to follow the great expounder of the Constitution. The Senator from Massachusetts seems to have installed himself as a sort of overseer of this body, and he was not surprised at the dictatorial manner in which he bustled about, administering rebuke in this and in the other Houee. He had pe suaded him* self that he i3 the government, and is par ticularly assured that he is the Senate, a least the largest and most important part of if. (Laughter.) But I don’t think there is a person in or out of the Senate who hugs such a delusion to his breast except himself. (Laughter.) He would read the resolution of this learned Senator, this able man, who distinctly understands everything in juris* prudence, administration, and of war mat ters in the field, to expel him. If the Sen ator had power commensurate with his purpose, it would have been done ; but he thanked his stars there were juater, wiser, ab'er, more patriotic men in the Senate and country than the Senator, if there were not—Gad stive the mark!—the coun try would soon go to ruin. How long did the Senator sit under the treasonable utter ance of leaders in the rebellion three years ago, at the time he was engaged m his avocation at home. He occasionally adver ted to the debates in tho Senate, and read the treasonable effusion* of the band of traitors who have organized the reooilion,. He read the avowal of Toombs that lie was a rebel, and the world never saw a letter equal to the declaration of the audacious Mason that he owed no allegiance to the government. So of Wigfall and others in a heir treasonable utterances. All this was done in the presence of tho just, pure, courageous, patriotic senator who remained as dumb as a fish. (Laughter.) Mr. Davis said the majority of the States had a light to meet together in convention and do away the best government on earth. ThispolitK sal partnership could be cancelled by the consent of tho partners. I ask that the people of ah the States go into convention to take this cruel war into their hands and close the bleeding wounds of the nation ; reconstructing it upon the principles of compromise and liberty, upon which Washington and his associates acted. It was the S&nator’s intention to put hitu in a state of suspension here, like Mahomet’s coffin, between heaven and earth. (Laughter.) Ho was in durance, and any durance the Senator would establish was vile enough, in Goa’s name. (Laughter ) lie was for ihe prosecution of the war to any honorable peace, but wouid prefer that it siiuu and close, by the peaceable submission of those.in rebellion. Mr. Days* continued at great length to refer to the course of Massachusetts in Shay’s rebellion, in tlte war of 1812, in the Mexican war, and in tier resistance to tho Fugitive Sta ve act. lie re ferred to a speech of iho Sene tor from Massa chusetts during the Kansas trouble, in which the N -rii is called upon to ooiuo forth and ovor b'ow the slave propagandist.-*.

When Tie read the e' deciaralioa hii t.lood boiled in his veins, and had he been present he dared say he would not have kept silent like the senator, from Massachusetts. Now the senator has a majority here, backed by hundreds of thousand-, of soldiers and officers who hold their places at the will of the power at the o her end of the avertuc, who, when they are order* t \o do the bidding of that power, do it or ajlTer in carceration, court-martial or death Iho sena«, was so at'sufficient, teif-sufficient, and in sufficient—(laughter)—that he did not consult withs sirgle individual.

He would swbep away ;h-* CooxtituUon and State laws to abolistr Etavery ia vioiation of his oath as a senator; and to hear him prate of loyalty one would think that there was no loyalty in the Untied States besides his. -lie (Mr. Davis) as utimbd that ifa convention of aU, the States were catted together and should resolve to do away with the Government that they had the* right aud power to do it. lie was opposed, of coarse, to any rueh exerci-e of power as a practical .uiag. He considered this compact a political partnership. 7 i ttEPOETS OF THfi FBSSf ASiOCUSION. J Entered accord Log to act of Coglgresf In the V«** H*®*, by J. 8.

Second in importance, says the Richmond Whig, to no other of the present session, is the bill passed by the House of Representa tives, to conscribe free negroes and impress slaves for various uses in the army. It re ceived, after being amended and perfected an almost unanimous approval, and will doubtless receive the approbation of the Senate, to which body it has been sent for early action. There is no doubt that the bill will add largely to the efficiency of the army, iT hav ing been roughly estimated that it wild .in crease its lighting strength to- the extent of not less lhau fdrty thousand able bodied men. This is certainly a very important step in the right"direction, and every patriotic spirit must concede.that it is both wise and opportune. „ „ Let Congress who has manifested a de termination to empty their time with-profit to the country, apply tile scalpel and insti tute reform iii other departments of the service, particularly the.unequal And, un just system s details—and, no ground,will remain for the tears of those who imagine that we are to be overwhelmed by the mere force of numbers at the opening of the spring.

It is almost impossible to cross the street, and quite out of the question to get bsyond tbe-sub urbs without being run agaiast by either caval ryman or infantry, who are anxious to save their country by seeing ywur papers. Now it ia right and prop r that a duo interest and solicitude should be manilesie-i in this matter, but at tbo same time things are getting to be rather an noying. If it requires as many soldiers to look after delinquents in all parts of the Confederacy as hereabouts it is evidvut that there wili soon be required a larger army at home than in tho field. However if the necessities of the country require it, we should not complain. But let tho business be confined to the legitimate subjects of conscription, and let the maimed, the half, and the blind alon i.
