DHL) IO.VXTITITIO\II,IST BY JAMES GARDNER. thi rsday horning, MARCH 20. Ilelligerent England. The tone of many English papers and periodi cals. and the continuance of her warlike prepara tions, on a scale of undiminished magnitude, ex cite a serious doubt of her intention to make peace with Russia on the only terms deemed practicable at this tune. What England demands as the price ' of peace, Russia, no less proud than she, and per haps no less able to continue the conflict, will not be apt to yield. It is also a subject for anxiety in this country that ourown relations with the British government are extremely delicate and critical, and recent events in Central America threaten still fur ther to complicate them. We have seldom read a more fierce and belligerent article than one recently from the London Telegraph against this country, which is now going the roundsof the American press. It appeals most stirringly to the pride and warlike spirit of England, and its republication in this coun trv is not much calculated to diminish the chances of a rupture with our hereditary foe. The labors of the Telegraph chime in harmoniously with tha studi ed and long continued efforts of the London Timm and London Post, to exasperate the feelings of botli nations against each other. Such seed scattered among American readers is sown upon fruitful soil. If war is really desired by the ruling powers of Great Britain, they can he accommodated to their topmost bent. It requires no forced culture to get up a war spirit among our ardent and susceptible people. But we believe the mortified pride of an arrogant and reckless aristocracy, exasperated by past defeats, especially by the miserable blunder ings of their incompetent leaders in the war with Russia, has more to do with a desire for war with this country, than the hearts and wishes of the British people. The masses there feel that they have nothing to gain by war with the United States. The commercial classes, the great middle estate, who are the substantial men of England, who hold the bulk of its property and mainly hear the pecu niary burthens of the government, realise fully tin disasters that must overwhelm their country by a war with us—a war without the possibility of any real compensating gain. Their hearts are not with the aristocracy in this belligerent spirit. They have not the same intense hatred of Republican ism as burns in tlie breasts of British Peers. Nor is there any solid reason why this country should desire war with England. At least, tin South can gain nothing by it. To ber, a war would be au unmitigated evil. It would result in direc: loss, aud in ulterior calamities of far greater sig nificance. It would, in the end, operate to tin strengthening the power and influence cf the ami slavery element, already so alarmingly great. W e would not have our country abate one jot o', its just claims, or exact less than is due our viola ted rights. But we should feel that the liighes' patriotism of both nations, and the highest interest of civilization appeal to the leading minds on each side to settle the dispute without a resort fi arms. in this connection, we copy au editorial from the Richmond Jtnquirer, which commends itself to the good sense of every Southern man. and to the pat riotism of every mao, North and South, who shrinks from entrusting the political destinies of our country to the guardianship of Foot, Seward and Sumner, who have sa lustily of late cried out for M ar. The President’s policy of abrogating the Clay ton-Bulwer treaty will be the first step to a pacific solution. The two following paragraphs from the London Telegraph will give a fair idea of the spirit of the whole article. It has on its face evidence of inti mate sympathy between British and American Abolitionism : “ What to us is the Monroe absurdity? Who M as the great Monroe himself, that England should vacate possessions and territories at iiis bidding' We care about as much for Monroe and his imper tinence us we do for an edict of the far-famed king of the Cannibal Islands. It is high time that Great Britain spoke out, and with a voice which i> never despised, when poured forth from her seven ty-fours. Let us at once, without any more non sense, inform our American gasconditig cousins that England permits no power on earth to dispute her right to her territorial possessions ; that call ing into question her occupancy in Central Ameri ca is considered an insult to her dignity ; aud that, unless America forthwith renounce al! further in tention to question our rights, England will seek reparation for so gross an insult in American Ma ters, where her fleets will forthwith appear, to meet any ("uesapeakes Mho may desire to measure broadsides with her Shannons. * * * If, therefore, the United States Govern ment deny, and is resolved to question, the right of Great Britain to her Central American posses sions, Me, the people of the British Empire, are resolved to strike off the shackles from the feet of her three millions slaves. And there are those among us who will sanctity such a glorious cause ; the people of England will deny themselves every luxury to assist their country in a contest, more sacred and more glorious than ever formed the watchword of the Crusaders of old, when combat ing the infidel hosts of aSaladin. If we have not a Richard Couir de Lion, we have one name which will carry liberty to millions, and the emancipa tion, by ‘force of arms,’ of the slaves of the Amer ican States will he connected to the end of all time with that rallying word of freedom—Victoria.” But whether it be war with this country, or an other campaign against Russia, it is not to be dis guised that England is making huge preparations to he ready for either or both emergencies. We copy tiie following items from the late for eign news: The lobe announces in a leading article that “the people of this country need not be struck with dismay at the possible failure of diplomacy in bringing about peace, and then shows from the Army Estimates the extensive preparations which are making for the prosecution of the war, if such an unfortunate course should be necessary. The total number of men to be voted for the financial year commencing Ist April next, is 2415,41 C, exclu sive of 6,000 in India. The increase of the first total is 35,000 over the number voted last year; the real increase is still greater, for whereas, the num ber voted for the present year have been actually enrolled, the establishment for next year’s service is approaching completion, and tin* recruiting for the last feu- weeks is unexampled. The Land Transport Corps will consist of 9,000 men and 24,00 > animals. The light cavalry is increased from 11,1 us to 1.5,509 ; the artillery from 17,000 to 21,00"; virtually, the total increase in the number of men, as compared with last year, is little short of .50,000 men. The estimates are set down as £32,758,000, an increase of €6,283,000 over those of lasi year.” “In the same journal we find these significant announcements: “Orders have been received at Portsmouth for the authorities to expedite with all possible des patch the refitment of the steam troop-ships Vul can, Perseverance, and Urgent, as they may be wanted suddenly to embark troons for colonial ser vice. “The steam transport Cleopatra embarks this day at Portsmouth about 500 of the Lancashire and Oxford militia for Corfu. “The Royal Mail Company have received orders from the Admiralty to immediately prepare their steamships Orinoco and Great Western. now lving at Southampton, for the transport service. ’The Thames is also to be got ready for the purpose of conveying to Malta, from Portsmouth, on Saturday next, 50<i men and 22 officers, detachments of va rious regiments. “The General Screw Company have received an intimation that the Government might require the use of their four large ships now lying in South ampton docks, viz: Calcutta, Argo, Hydaspes, and Queen of the South, for tlie transport service. The company are acting upon the intimation, aud the vessels are being prepared for sea.” Me cannot more appropriately close than by quoting the following impressive view, by the New \ ork Citizen, ot the attitude and plans of England : ENGL VXD S PLANS—SIGNS OP A BREACH WITH FRANCE. I reparations are being made bv England, for a rupture with trance. The position of the island empire is by no means enviable : a war with Rus sia not yet concluded; a M-ar u-ith America threat ening ; one ally who is suppose,/ to hold more with the enemy than with her ; and another allv who i> fully hnotrn to do so ; 'me ally who opened nego tiations with the foe, without taking her colleague into her counsels—and another ally who caused the des ruction of her army, by insidious conduct on the borders of the Danube. Add to this Ire land—Australia—Hindustan, and you have a pic ture of the approaching dissolution—you behold a stately edifice of centuries, with all its crimes and glories, its infamies and greatnesses, clinging to it, but in which you can distinctly trace where the foundation stones are giving wav, where the u-alls are beginning to crack, where the towers are tot tering and nodding to their fall. England, however, as we commenced by saving, is making preparations for meeting her approach ing doom. Especially, her movements are direct ed against a probable' rupture with France. With this object in vieu-, and calculating on the possi bility of a continued war with Russia, but without the aid of France, she is trying to extricate as much as possible her army 'from the Crimea, to change the basis of the war, and to strengthen her own coasts. To effect the first of these objects, the following steps are being taken ; a portion of her forces is being transferred to Kertch—Kertch being near the Asiatic field of action, and it being precisely in Asia that England proposes to continue the war if a continuance is forced upon her. Os course! she is prepared for peace at any- price—her wretch ed position dictates this, but s'he is bv no means sure that, even at any price, peace may be accord ed to her. She is, therefore, compelled to look around, and catch at any hope of self preservation. It is m Asia especially that she is threatened bv Russia. The recent Russian victories in Anatolia, have filled the East n-ith awe of the Czar's power, and stirred up the discontented millions of Ilin dqstan. Persia is little more than a Russian pro vince Bokhara, Khiva, and the Tartar population are Russian at heart—Scinde, Afghanistan, the newly annexed Oude, even Burmah, thrill at the hope of Russian aid. England, therefore, if forced to fight, means to fight in Asia—and M’ith this view a landing place has been selected for twenty live thousand British soldiers in Asia Minor. Mark that fact—it augurs a single-handed cam paign on the part of England—it augurs a breach either combatant or tacit) with France—for France has no interest in Asia—France has no interest in upholding British supremacy in the East—France yvould never join in such a warfare—(unless Egy pt should be conceded to her, yvhich England will never consent to without positive compulsion) and accordingly a campaign in Asia must be one u itli out Napoleon’s aid. The plan is, to form an al liance with the Circassians, and, having the Tur ish Empire as a reserve in the rear, the Black Sea held by a British fleet on one flank, and Hindustan with its great Sepoy army on the other, to fall on Persia from the west and’ south, and form a junc tion in the heart of that country betu-een the ar mies of Hindostan and England! The brunt of the attack would be directed against Persia, not against the Russians, for three very cogent rea sons ; firstly, because the British have tasted quite as much of Russian steel as they care for; second ly, because the Persians are easier to beat than the Muscovites; thirdly, because overrunning Persia and prostrating it, would tend more to raise Eng lish prestige in Asia, than even a glorious cam paign in the gorges of the Caucasus, or the undu lations of Armenia. This is the secret of the new direction in the British yvar councils—this is ihe cause of the reinforcements sent to Kertch, yvhich forms an excellent point of communication n - ith Circassia, and a position yvhence to cheek a Rus sian advance along the Eastern confines of the Kuxine ; this is the motive for the unusual energy displayed in strengthening the Angio-Turkish le gion. The British oligarchy- are, at last, them selves thoroughly alarmed at the desperate posi tion into yvhich they have plunged their country and they are displaying energy—it is the energy of terror; —courage—it is the courage of despair.” In confirmation of the determination of the British people to continue the tight yvith Russia, yve make tu o short extracts from an able article in the January number of the London Quarterly fie view, which represents a large and influential portion of British sentiment. The article is head ed, “ The results and prospects of the M-ar.” “We have pointed out the vast and indeed es sential importance to Russia of territorial acquisi tions in the East, as the only counterbalance to anv success of the Allies in the West. It is absolutely necessary that England and France should come to an immediate understanding as to the means of preventing any further progress of Russia in that direction, and of remedying the evil yvhich has al ready occurred. We have little doubt that the course to he pursued in effecting this object will form one of the principal subjects of the confer ences to beheld at Paris, when it yvil lbe determined to yvhich nation shall be assigned the duty of meet ing the enemy in those regions. We can scarcely doubt that yve shall be called upon to undertake if, and that yvliilst the French continue the contest, and undertake new expeditions against the enemy in Europe, the English army yviil be transferred in great part, if not entirely,’to the Asiatic shores of the Black Sea. Such a distribution and divis ion of the poyver of the Allies yy-e deem on many accounts to be highly important and necessary', not only with reference to the immediate objects in view', but to the success of any future opera tions in whatever part of the world they may be pursued. A divided command has hitherto been a source of undoubted disasters, and has material ly interferred u-ith the perfect success of our arms, whilst it has contributed in no slight degree to in jure“most seriously our military reputation.” “ That the war will continue, and assume far greater dimensions than it has hitherto done, we can have little doubt. We are equally persuaded that the country yvili not tolerate any ministry which is not prepared to prosecute it with vigor, and for adequate objects. It is only by yielding to the unanimous feeling of the nation that an ad ministration, in itself one of the weakest and most incompetent England has ever seen, is able to retain the conduct of public affairs.” From the Richmond Enquirer, March 14. The Impending War with Great Britain. The indifference with yvhich the people of tins country appear to regard the contingency of a war yvith Great Britain, presents a striking contrast to 'he anxiety and agitation which the possibility of that event has excited among our antagonists. The acts of the British Government aud the tone of the British press show that in England a yvar yvith the United States is anticipated yvith a certainty yvhich demands instant preparation for the contest. Mili tary operations against this country are debated yvith an air of grave earnestness, while troops and ships are rapidly concentrating in the vicinity of the theatre of war. Yet, yviiile regiments of”red coats are mustering in Canada, and squadrons of steamships are hovering on our coast —while the enemy is deliberately preparing to launch ihe thun derbolt of war upon our defenceless cities, and to ravage our country with fire aud sword, our peo ple are reposing in stupid lethargy, or are absorbed in the petty intrigues of ephemeral polities. This is not the moment to discuss the causes of so irra tional a temper of the public mind. The duty- of the journalist is to employ all his influence in awa kening the country to a sense of the peril, and to the necessity of immediate and adequate prepara tion. Perhaps not one person yvho reads these words, believes there is the remotest possibility of a war betyveen Great Britain and the United States; which conclusion is the result, not of intelligent reflection, but of thoughtless self-conceit. Ameri- j cans have indulged in applause of their oyvn prow- i ess, and in contemptuous commiseration of Eng- i land’s decadence, until they begin to speak ofa i rupture with this country as an act of suicidal folly ! to which Great Britain can be driven by no provo- j cation. We cannot cherish a more dangerous de lusion. In the day- yvlieu the British power culmi nated, British pride was not more sensitive to in sult or prone to resentment, than at this very mo ment. Never yverc the energies of Great Britain so collected, or her capacity for aggressive war so menacing to her foes. She feels no exhaustion from the brief struggle with Russia, but finds, in the more perfect discipline of her troops, in the better organization of her resources, and' in her more complete armaments, elements of power with which she is prepared to atone for the blunders of a pacific policy- and a defective administration. Perhaps, too, she rather solicits than shuns an op portunity to recover her prestige. The conceit of impregnability u-ith which we flatter ourselves, vanishes before the scrutiny of common sense. Our Navy, however gallant in spirit, is hardly- a match for a single British squadron. The fortifications of our coast would oppose scarcely any resistance to the destructive instruments of modern rvarfare. Our people are brave, even to rashness; but the battle of Bladensburg suggests a doubt if the honor anil security of the country can be trusted to a mis cellaneous mob of gentlemen. The impetuous valor of our militia might be wasted in vain, against the stubborn ranks of a disciplined soldiery. The tri umph which our exhaustless resources and indom itable courage yvould achieve in the end, must be purchased by incalculable loss of property and j many severe reverses of fortune. Nor does Great Britain admit any commercial i dependence on this country yvhich binds her to a perpetual peace. If is doubtful if she has not the support of sound philosophy- in the opinion that it is as necessary for us to sell as for her to buy. And, though she acknowledges the possibility of discon tent and disturbance among her operatives, she | proposes to retaliate by exciting insurrection among ' the slaves of the South. But, no matter from what motive or with what object ,it is indisputable that Great Britain is re- ! solved upon yvar yvith the United States rather ! than concede all the demands of our government, i What are these demands? Are they such that n» can abate nothing of their rigor? Our difficulty with Great Britain is complicated j by a double dispute. First, in dignity and import- i afice, is the controversy touching the ’ construction of the Clayton-Buhter treaty. By our interpreta tion that treaty deprives Great Britain of ihe Mas- j quito Protectorate and the poseession of the Rua tan Islands. She disputes the justice of this con struction and refuses to abandon her claims in Cen- I tral America. Which party is right? The sense in which Great Britain regards the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, is not so palpably absurd that it admits of no argument. On the contrary, j it yvas in that very sense that the treaty n-as con struedat the time of its negotiation, by persons of intelligence, of critical acumen. Some of the j friends of the treaty would not sustain it in the! . enate, until its verbal ambiguity, on the very is- ! \ r ru? l ?P ute A was removed by a declaration from Mr. Clay ton, that the British Minister concurred! in the American interpretation. The writer of this article maintained from the beginning, that Great Britain would not abandon her pretensions in Cen tral America, in consequence of the convention of Messrs. Clayton and Bulyver, and for this reason | ? s we fl as because of the fact that the convention involved the United States in an “entangling alli ance,” and arrested the expansion of our country towards the South, he applauded Judge Douglas : for his opposition to the treaty. Right or yvrong, j however, Great Britain will fight before she sub mits to our demands. Shall we then surrender our j claim? Or shall yve refer the matter to arbitra ! tion? Neither policy is essential to the preserva tion of peace. Since each party honestly and per sistently insist on an antagonistic construction of the treaty, the logical deduction is, that the treaty be abrogated, and the relations of Great Britain and the United States in Central America, be re stored to their original state. For us, this is the policy both of safety and of interest. We yviil thus avoid war without a sacrifice of honor, and yviil acquire au influence in Central America which we had renounced bv the foolish stipulations of the Clayton-Buhver treaty. We have reason to be lieve that this is the adjustment of the Central American difficulty yvhich the President yviil pro pose to the British government. The other dispute is perfectly- clear and simple, as illustrated in the luminous despatches of Secre tary Marcy. In enlisting troops on our soil, Great Britain violated the municipal lau- and insulted the sovereign dignity of the country. We remon strate, and for reparation get an equivocal and con ditional apology. But, after this apology Great Britain persists in the very offence which she prom ised to desist. A verbal explanation yviil not now satisfy our honor. The agents of the British Gov ernment, yvho thus contemptuously spurn our ad ! monition aud defy our vengeance, must be dismis sed from the country, if the British Ministry refuse to re-call them. The removal of Mr. Crumpton may result in a temporary suspension of diplomatic relations, but cannot possibly provoke a yvar. In the event of a great national emergency it is the peculiar prerogative of the people ofthis coun try to instruct the government by an imposing ex pression of public opinion. This privilege becomes a supreme duty, yvhen the country is threatened yvith all the disasters of a yvar yvith one among the foremost powers of the earth. War is absolutely an evil of such colossal proportions, that yve need not insist on its atten dant and accidental calamities, in order to deter the nation from lightly invoking its unimaginab'.e horrors. But the event of war yvith Great Britain, at this particular juncture, might, strike the pros perity of the South yvith so terrible and irretrieva ble a ruin, that yve may yvell appeal to the joegislu ture of Virginia to interpose a voice of w’ise admo nition between the country and that greatest disas ter. The extracts in another column, from the Brit ish press, clearly reveal the design of the British government to strike the first blow at the heart of the South. Whether their confidence in the defection of our slave population, prove a fool ish or a yvtse calculation, it is certain that the ef fect of a yvar yvith Great Britain, on the general interests of the South, yy-ill involve manifold and irreparable injury. Tt is very- doubtful if the con servative spirit of our State Rights Government could survive the conflict. It is not absolutelv certain that some extreme States of the North might not be detached from alliance with the South, and bo seduced into a crusade of arms against slavery. In any event, the productions of slave labor would be reduced to a value altogether inadequate to the support of the institution. The cotton of the Carolines and the tobacco of Yirrflnn would waste in the fields of the planter, a n d he might accept the emancipation of his slaves as re lief from an intolerable burden. The Sov.th now so rich and powerful, might be impoverished and humiliated; and on its ruin, Abolitionism would erect the commercial and political despotism to which it aspires. The plunder of privateers rin ■ monopoly of the market in the purchase of cotton and the sale of manufactures, and, above all the conquest of Canada, would aggrandize the North m proportion as the South sinks in the scale of wealth and pon-er. So inseparably are the inter ests of the South bound up yvith the preservation of peace yvitti (treat Britain. The belligerent tone of the. Abolitionists, habit ually so meek and averse from violence, admonish es us m this conjuncture to pursue a policy- of pa citu- moderation. They act, not from impulse bur from calculations of the profoundest policy; and when yve hear Seward, Sumner and Wilson clamor tor yvar with Great Britain, wc need no assurance ihat they seek not the vindication of national lion- T - *? nt Jil 0 degradation and destruction of flic J hey contend not for the sanctity- of pub lic i-.uth, but extol the particular treaty yvhich set* arbitrary bounds to the expansion of slavery Against a contingency- of such fatal portent to the South, it is proper that the Legislature of V j r . ginia should oppose all the influence of a formal expression of the popular sentiment of thefite.te.

To avoid these little perplexities, we advise such of our readers to use Prof. WOOD’S IIAIK RESTORATIVE, which will, in the course of a few weeks, change the white hair to its natural color. It does not dye the hair, like the most of the Hair Restoratives, but produces a gradual change of color from the roots of the hair to the final end, and gives it a fine and glossy appear ance. We have seen many persons who have used it successfully, and pronounced it the only inven tion which has come up to their idea of a “cure for gray heads.” We commenced using it about two months since, and if we arc any judge of age and beauty, it has made us at least ten years young er—in fact, we are beginning to look quite young, and feel very much like getting a young wife. The change is miraculous, and it would be as difficult to find a gray hair now as it would be to find an idea in the head of the Duke of Buckingham. Wo know several old maids an d some young widows, whose locks are just beginning to assume a silvery hue, and who have been talking seriously about re sorting to this remedy; and we advise them not to delay any longer.
