In response thereto, thft Spite of C(*Tgiadid 1 on the 20th March, 1 s(j]. by an Ordinaifte of, her Convention, authorized Confederate States of America tt> occupy, uge andjiold pos’ session of all forts, navy-yards, arsenals, custom hoifses, and other public sites, with tlieir ap’ puitenanees, within the limu.’ ot aid State and lately in j ‘session of the United States of An. riea, and to impair, rebuild,find control the same at it.> diseretiun, until the ordinance slu.my he repealed by.l4 eawivention of the pgople of sail?

The Government of the Confederate States was become aecomita’ blej’or aU such arms and munitions of war as should be transferred. * . *(_)n the Stfi April, l s f*l, an ordinance was ’ adopted by South Carolina which, in terms, of similar import to that of the State f Georgia, trsfftsibrred to tJie Government of the Confcde • rate States all the forts, arsenals, custom hous es, navy-yards, and other public sites, in her .limits. ‘J hough not*on file in the War Office,* my recollection is that the arms and munitions of war w.ere ill like manner transferred.

Lord Palmerston will 110 C recognize the Lincoln paper blockade, ’ and France, if we may jiuhge by the tube* of the Paris journals, is equally indisposed *to do so? . The entire Pitiss of the manufacUiringdis tricts* of Great Britain eelioes the language .of the newspapers of London, that the cotton trade with the South shall.not be tampered witl?, and that, “either by fair means or foul,” uninterrupted communication shall be preserv ed* with the ports of New Orleans, Mobile, Sai vannah and Charleston. Quoting Mr. Seward’s mngnijoquence to oftr minister in Paris, the Jjondou Times says : “No Ivise .man difficult and dangerous win* with language like* this. The language of confident exultation is, as we know, becoming in those who take tlieir ‘tirmor off, but very unbecoming in those* who are putting their armor on.” The Economist declares that “the peaceful disrujftion of* the Union should be most hopefully welcomed as au almogt unalloyed advantage.” • And “civil war,” it continues, “is an almost *mnfitigated mischief.” The Lincoln*organ of the Palmer ston ministry authoritatively maintains that “no one at the present time can doubt Or question the do facto independence of thp Southern ’ States.” 31 r* Lindsay, who was so recently fn the United States'; and*whose authority is con© osidered to be A great weight in Parlhynent, has taken open ground for the Jefferson Davis movement.

It must come to that, and i? will stay the cry of vengeance of the North* against the i South.” He ridiculed the idea of an effective blockade, and maintained that no other could be respected. “Mr. Seward,” says the London crimes, “may believe and tremble, but we are not disposed to do cither the one or othe other ; tlie oracles of his local divinity do not pass current on this ’ side of the Atlantic.” In a word, Mr. Lincoln jind his ad vise rj has e ••succeeded in* cheating America, but wjll not be pemiittecl f*o trample upon the interests of England* Great Britain is arra} eJ in virtual hostility against us, and* if j the lofty pretensions’ of three weeks *aig3 are strenuously upheld, the two countries will be involved in war before the elo*:e of the summer months.

As they entered the creek, Jiaving been informed that the sentinels were warned of their approach, they were proceeding | in perfect gilence, (having muffled their oars) when the first sentinel on tfie shore sung out at thetop of Jiis voice, “Who goes there ?” An officer in the foremost Intit, stood up and said in a low tone —“The expedition, tlie don’t make so much noise .”*.pl’ll gjve an expedition.” said the sentinel, bringing down bis rifle and firing, missing a few* inches shooting* the officer Through the bead. And the sentintd did Lift do his duty, as’liq had not been warned that she boat** would pass. The officer supposed that the boats would have to be stopped, or run the gauntlet of the sen'incls all the way up the cycek. lie* determined* to take the latter course, and called out, “Give .w.ly, Incn, give way ; let them shoot ©and be damned. The qjvkward sons of bitches •hit anybody any how*”* Just as the boats (an fiour and a half peliind time) came up to ehe second sentinel, the whose duty it wys to see that the jentinels understood the matter, came along and prevented further bring. * The next blunder was two of the regiments firing into eygh other, wliielj was the work of a ’parcel of idiots. At the time of this firing the Note Yo*k Regiment of Zouaves was three miles and a half an front, and hacf already tak en Little Bethel. They heard the firjng in theii® rear, and supposing an attack was made in force upon.the regiments coming ufi, retrac ed their st*eps, running all the wr.3*. They theft marclmd o**er the same ground on the advance. When the troftps went into action at Big Bethel. they r had figen on the march twelve houns without food, and the subtly of water in th*eir canteens was exhausted. The day was becoming liftt, anfl they were dispirited by thg blunders of the night and fainting with hunger and fatigye. The action was a complication of disastrous foolery, utterly without, excuse or example. The men wanted to of tlieir Captains •what to do; the Captains wanted their Col •onels to .tell them what to do ; and the Colpncls nsk*ed Genera w fierce what had better be doncf and he said, “Well, indeed *T don’t* Theft: were the men, prepared, ready, eager, competent to take the battery. But the ofli-. | cers did not know how to direct the men. If ! there had been no officers in the field the hat j teiy would have been taken. The men would have done it in live minutes, if the}’ .kad just been burned loose. But they proposed to obc\ T orders, and tliei*: were no orders. At last “two or three companies did outflank tire battery, by a sort of independent movement, and* tl*e Virginians were running* away from it,"when one of our brilliant officers seeing tlie Federal bayonets bristling through the hushes, supposed it jvas a reinforcement of Virginians, and or !*dcred a retreat, and the men moved off crying and slveariug tevith shame and Jury. ’ Now it is important to enquire how Inaii}* bloody rypu!scs # raust be *euffered in order to drill a hole into the heads of the Administift* tion, National agd State, and into the ©soldiers themselves, through which com mb n sense, as to the appointment or elation of officers, can be injected. .And the jackass.oflicets might well begin to enquire how long it will be be fore theij men will find it necessary to shod them. * * 0 0 9 * © -©> •©©-©-- o • 0 Science of JliiUiii£ tows, , It is a matter of great impftrlanCe that® the ! iiik should all b<; drawn from the cow's udder.

Eng” land has ever Ueci? a generous toe ; she wait not prove a faithless friend. The statement that “the population of the slave States is divided perhaps equity for and against the Union,” is without a shadow of foundation. The secession of the South now* forms a part of history, and never in the an i nals of mankind such entire unanimity of | sentiment'and < f action been manifested by any people as in the formation, deliberation and ae* j tion of the cotton States.

These subscriptions already amount to many millions of dollars, perhaps in all the Northern States to nearly fifty millions, including State appropri ations's—and they “must continue until tlie occa sion for extraordinary expenditures shall®have passed, or the resources of the country become so much exhausted that the people will no 1011-. j gev be able to Char this extraordinary tax upon ! a generous patriotism. * # 0 Mr. Oallam’ Opinion of Kcroyiiilioii. @ George M. Dallas, late Minister to England, having* returned to the United States, his opin ion concerning the position of the •British Go vernment towards the South is worthy of note. He;is reported* by the Phihwlelphia correspou- ’ j dent of the New York Trib.une as follows : Mr. Dallas converses very unreservedly a bout the feeling of tjie Ijritisln Minis tay to ward?'hi s government. He believed the Min istry to be hostile to us, and Uiat Lord John ißussell's* early recognition of tlie rebels was . 1401 a*premature declaration to be repented of Wegftcr, but a deliberate policy to beacTKered to. as far as it goes. He is disposed t 8 believe that the great arbiter is cottoy —that as -the • stock on hand will keep the English mills em- t * ployeduntifNovember, tRe Ministry will not openly countenance tho*rebellion until .it is as certained whether the new t-ron is to.bcgxpor*- , ed or not.° , * • If we crush the rebels and permit thenew crop tolbe exp;rted, all will be satisfactory to John Bull *if we fail to do so, and John Bull lias ti*do without cotton,Wien some occasion will be found to get up ‘difficulty and force , tba blockade. If the war coiUjnues until No vember, Mr. Bull will keep tolerably quiet, ma king only an occasional roaring. Hence, as the time so - shipping the new crop approaches, the question of how England means to act will be ffiore clearly answered. Mr. Dallas thinks that if tin? ministry were tp be too openly for the re bellion now, Exeter # Hall wo®ld turn them out * forthwith” wffiyc, unless thoy ma le some show of favoring che Cottjn Lords, they’ would do the same thing; %o as it i for office, after all, that they are “contending, their future policy will be jus* such as rfhey may think the most likely to insure them a continuance of power. He is of opiaiort that; France and England will pursue an identical policy with respect to us, be . that what i't may. * * .
