From the North.
From passengers Just arrived from the North,
via the Potomac, we learn that Federal troops
Ull the whole Marylaud shore, 2,500 cavalry be
ing In St. Mary’s county; and yet there la a way
of passing through tbe hands ol the corruptible
Sickles. They report that the shrewdest of the
Yankees argue that “a war with England about
two old men won’t pay. No dollars aud cents
are lu It." And, if they life not interrupted,
they will soon have affairs In such condition that
Virginia will speedily become their prey. They
S loal over the rich prize of cotton stolen from
oulh Carolina, and revel in imaginary bliss on
the possession of the cities and farms ot Vir
ginia. Their only fear seems to he that, when
they advance, the Virginians will “submit," and
avoid confiscation. They say It is a “heavenly
climate,” from this specimen of a whiter, aud
that they will never winter again in the North.
They really seemed vexed at the number of “dis
gusted exiles” returning from Richmond, and
express a hope that the “bogus Secretaries ol
the South will treat the dying patriots more
kindly.” Seward is to be William Ihe Oou-
querer.
These gentlemen from the North have fur
nished us with Baltimore papers of A recent
date.
The Movements of tbe Enemy
For two or three days post wo have had no
news of any important change in tbe attitude of
affairs lathe vicinity of Tybee, or at any other
point on bur coaat. The Yankees seem to exer
cise an uuasuat amount of caution in their
mot-omenta, and show no disposition lo risk
tbclr precious carcases from under the protec
tion of the gnns of their fleet. Some of their
small vessels ara continually sloamlng back and
forward between Hilton {lead and Tybee, and
occasionally a vessel or two puts out to sea from
their anchorage, and oa often a war vessel or a
transport comes In, but they all keep well out of
reach of the guns ol the fort. On Saturday nf-
ternoon a war atcamcr arrived and anchored
with the fleet Inside of tho point. They have as
yet landed very lew troops, and If they have
bnilt any fortifications they ate so, well masked,
or at so great distance from the fort as to be out
ot view as well as out of reach our gnus.
Our Invaders seem to be bo well satisfied with
tbclr first and only success, daring tbe war, the
capture of the Fort Royal sand batteries, and so
well pleased with their settlement on the Caro
line Islands, that they are content to enjoy tbclr
honors In Inglorious ease rather than venture
upon new and more doubtful conquests. But
there it a murmur coming up from Yankee
Doodlodcim which will dlaturb their qttlet, and
which must, sooner or later, force them from
their covert, Tbe Northern people who pay the
expeuseaof the war have been taught to expect
great things from the conquest of Boutb Caro
lina and Georgia,' and already they are beginning
to complain of the tardiness ot Gen. Sherman
In taking possession, opening the cotton ports
and sending forward the crops to the Yankee

could have obtained without mectiug (by con
sent nr otherwise) with Lincoln emissaries and

21st has a minute and extended account of their
Information, headed “Position of the Rebel

“Muskets,” suy they "are so scarce that wheu

ALARMING CONDITION IN IUBOPE.
[From tho London Chronicle, November (8-1
The preeayee of a deeperate winter are multiply-
iny. Fur and wide, upon the cofil
clouds gather over the political
prospect. The New World conflagration threat
uns lo consume ihu materials of prosperity lo
millions on both sides of tbe Atlantic. At
home, the disastrous prelude has already begun;
forerunning, we cannot hut anticipate, a period
of general aufl'erlng, in which, naturally and in
evitably, the poorer clasaea will endure the ut
most bitterness of tbe blight. Nor la It possi
ble, notwithstanding the sincere reports of Sir
Robert Peel, to doubt Mint Irdlaud will be called
upon lo undergo another ordeal, comparatively
lenient perhaps, yet aggravated by the dimin
ished capacity ol Engluud to relieve her. We
know that the fair weather prophets arc augur
ing differently; they subsist, of course, upon
artificial confidence: they are nothing If uni de
claiming about lira uucxamplcd fortunes of the
British empire. But all this rhapsody will not
set a single mill golug, will bring comfort to no
Luucusblre cottage, will neither open a cotton
market nor create a cotton supply. Surveying
the broad areua of Europe, can it be honestly
affirmed thul the aspects of lira season are cheer
ful I There Is no pauic, hut, at the same time,
there Is uo npproticb to a aeitluuieut of existing
complications in Italy. The French horizon Is
in all directions dark, ominous and melancholy.
Austria stands upon the brink of civil war, aud
Russia is reluming to barbarism. The Freuch
■ml ion, notwithstanding commercial treaties, la
uot buying of us with any purtieular enthusi
asm. Turkey cuu hardly be kepintlonl; and,
elsewhere, statesmen iiiusL wurlt incessantly nt
tbe pumps to prevent the peace of Euiopu from
sinking into fulbomless depths of slaughter
in the United Kingdom matters are uot Im
proving. A humble lest Is afforded In the dull
ness of the .statute lairs; wages have fallen 20
per ceut.; old men, In the agricultural districts,
can scarcely procure employment ul any prlcu;
the niiblied multitudes threaten lo be 'dismally
large, and Lo them tbe winter threatens a long
series of sure privations. And then, what ot
that mighty aggregate lo which the cotton-pod
gives laliur ami life—tii.it four millions, stricken
by lira curse of a civil war beyond the seas! 1 —,
Their earnings have withered from u livelihood
into It pittance : they arc struggling with waul;
soon they may have to lace starvation ; lor them
lira limes are hard Indeed—"half time" Is “karil-
llme” with u vengeance. Yet wc must not fly
away with the notion that there 19 ao colluii

greater difficulty In selling. The South sold its
raw materials nod bought our muiiulaeluies.

At Manchester, we are told, there Is scarcely
business enough dulug lo lest the strength of

unfavorable. Add lo this state of Ituugs the de
pression of the silk trade in ail parts of England,
the prodigious calamities which have overtaken
the fishing trade, the results of the late storms,
and a hundred other accidents presaging great
distress among thu poorest of the poor. t It Is
□ot for humanity to repine under the visitations
of God. Wc must accept the hurricane, the pes
tilence, mid the blight Irani the power that sent
them; but tbe one overwhelming cause of all
that we suffer and shall sutler, ns the year dark

tbe American civil wur bus bueii rendered doub

blockaded tbe South-- That blockade, ol course,
is a sham—It bus beeu broken again and again,
and, lu accordance with the law of nations, rati
fied at Paris, ought no longer to be recognized.!
Apart, however, Iroui the enquiry whether It
-should ever have beeu acknowledged, direelly
or indirectly, lies the question whether tbe North
by Its attitude, has uot Justified the reseotmciit,

Cotton Falling Shout in Lincolniiok.—
We read that a Mr. Harrington, of New York,
has Invented a Machine for untwisting cotton
[From the Richmond Whig, Dec. igth-I -
Prom Loudon.
Wc bed the iileusura of ao interview, yester
day, with Mi. Wm. T. Fry, bf Mobile, a youug
gentleman of much intelligence, who has Just
returned from Europe, who, In addition to dis
patches to the President from our Oommlsslon-
ere, and Loudon pnpers, communicates intelli
gence of a most gratifying character, in regard
to the feelings of tbu English people and the
mrposes of their government towards the Con-
uderale Slates. Mr. F. left London on the 10th
November, oo board tbe British steamer Gladia
tor, ladeu with thirty thousand Enfield rjfiee,
two hundred tons of powder, sabres, pistols,
medlcioes, surgical instruments, camp utensils,
etc., for the Confederate Slates.
The 9tb of this month, tbu Gladiulor entered
llie harbor of Nassau, for tbe purpose of coal
lug, and to receive Instructions as to the Confed
erate port she should approach. Oa the second
day alter the U. S..gunboat Flambeau made lia
appearance in the harbor, sent tbitber for the
spectul purpose of intercepting thu Gladiator.—
There they both lie now, tbe Gladiator alrald to
venture out, aud the Flambuan not daring to lay
hands on her ; and there they are likely to re
main until Great Britain enters the ring, wheu
not only will tbe Gladiator be convoyed to a
Confederate port, hat tbe Flambeau he picked
up and carried along with her. Tbe cargo of the
Gladiator Is in charge af D. T. Bisby, of Norfolk.
Mr. Fry left Nassau to day a week ago, and
reached Richmond lust Sunday, by a route and
hy means that we do not disclose. He assures
us that, whether in Nassau, in Londou, or io
Paris, he heard but one sentiment expressed,
that of cordial good will for the Confederate
States, and the hope and conviction lhat they
would triumph. Even before tbe outrage ou the
Trent, so slroug was tbe pressure of feeling in
England against Lhe North, that Mr. Yancey firm
ly believed, und positively assured Mr. Fry that
not more than a mouth from his departure (tbe
iOlb November) would elapse before tbe block-
ode would be broker.
Mr. Fry entertains no doubt lhat GreatBriluin
will declare war, and is of opinion that France
win unite In the act. Mr. Fry, who fan gredinuu
of the Virginia Military Institute, returns to lake
part with the thousands of gallant Southern
splrlta who are standing like a wall against the
torrent of Northern invasion.

the eevunty-elglu prisoners, whose
Searcy county we hove uoticed, wef
herore the military hoard, and after so
gallon were all released. They protected their
devotion to the Confederacy, and claimed that
the organization contemplated no inure crimi

lllitles of au Invading army. The leaders. It was
evident, contemplated criminal ulterior designs,
bat their followers were iu the dark as lo what
was proposed. They forthwith formed theni-

Tub Expenses of the Lincoln Govern
ment.—Tha New Ylirk Commercial Advertiser
rates the expenses oft tbe Llucoln Government
ae rather under than Viver one ’million dollars
per day. The statement is one of obvious mis.
calcnlullon, in accepting the amount of pay
ments from tbe treasnry as the measure of the
dally expenditure. The Government spends
faster than it pays, ns attested by the grumbling
of its contractors and othor creditors.
The New York Tribune mokes a Juster and
more exact estimate of tbe actual cost to thu
North ol tbe war it is waging. It says, “there
Is not a man less than half a million of soldiers
(regular, volonleor and militia,) (hie day looking
to tbe Federal Treasi*rv for food, clothing, trans
portation and pay; and onr array has hitherto
cost ne fully $1,000 per man per annum, or about
$8 per day. We do not believe the average is
below this at present, especially if the cost of
recruiting and fitting oat regiments Is Included.
Wc believe the outgoes of tho Government, In
cluding the cost of the blockade and tbe great
Southern naval expedition, are fully $2,000,000
per day, or at least $700,000,000 per auauui.
So far the North has been exulting over tho
fact (hat it has been constantly draining specie
Iroiu tbe Old World,.whira maintaining an army
of half a million mefi. Under the infinence nf
a short crop in Europe, the North has been ex
porting grain at lbc rate of $3,000,000 worth pci-
week ; and, by-lhe help of a stringent tirlff, it
has sustained all the gold exported from Cali
fornia. These causes will account for the large
amounts of specie accumulated in the North
since the commencement of the war. Had the
tariff of 1857 liven left in force, we believe the
balance ot trade with Europe would have been
against the North this year, and their hanks

Nothing further bod been heard from Harden-
