Wben Louialho fourteenth declared lfimsc-lf
Die State, li introduced anew principle which
oveitbrew the liln:ities of Europe. Prior to
this, the European nations under the feudal
system, were, in fact, semi-republics. Tlmy
were hut confederacies of the great Baronies,
into which the European Kingdoms were divi
ded after the fall of tho Unman empire. The
sovereignty, the government of the State, was
lodged in tho great Barons, with their vassals
and retainers, who with the King as chief Feu.
datory, as Lord Paramount of tho realm, de
clared war and concluded pe:ic», and exer
cised other powers and functions of sovereign
ty. Each of these baronies was a sovereign
State, within Itself, often exercising the rights
ol sovereignly, even to lire extent of levying
war on if; own account. Without the consent
of his J 1 irons, who often defied his authority,
the King could neither carry on war, nor con
dude peace, for they furnished and command
ed the annies which fought ids battles.
Louis in Grand, having, in tho protracted
wars which distinguished Ills reign, organized
a vast standing army obedient to his behests,
struck down at one blow the sovereignty oi
the Baronies, the States of the realm, and ab
t- a bed in his own person all lie: powers of the
Kingdom. “1 am the State,” was his impe
rious declaration. That declaration embodied
ganisation, and what remained of republican
liberty. Then -forward, the King was supreme
and absolute- lie was emphatically Iho Stale,
the government. Centralization, consolida
tion, absolutism, rose on the ruins of the Feu
dal republics. Europe languished ’under tho
baleful shadow of despotism, it has only
been through tho (Ires of revolution, th it slie
has been able to regain any portion of her lost
Jilierticri.
Ever since Louis the Fourteenth uttered that
tapioudeclaration, a controversy has raged
between the champions of two opposite
theoiies of government the theory of absolu
tism, tint the King is the State, that Ihe Exe
cutive of the nation is the government ; and
Inc*. cu..-.-.e.i
fcarvunts, (;• :i> :. • ta. iv..poi;.-.oi» .
the execution ol ihe iiusi..
The Stalys oi North America, which threw olf
the British yoke, adopted the latter theory, in
stituted a common government—a common
agency for their common benefit; defining and
limiting flu powers liy a written constitution-
Ignoiing the true theory of this government,
a party at tho North claimed for it absolute
power, in contempt of tho lights and sovereign
ty of Uie Slates. This servile and fanatical
party sets up the tho monstrous assumption
that tho servants <Jr.men by the people, the
agents selected by the States to administer tho
common government, are themselves tho gov
ernment. As. IV lie . :i corolla,.-}-, tlioeK «]■•-
phunts of power assume that any opposition
to these servants and agents of tho people
—any criticism of their acts % however un
constitutional, by those who appointed them,
and to whom they’are responsible, is opposi
tion to tlu government —is treason ot tho deep
est dye. Ami for such treason, newspapers
have been •suppressed and citizens, without
process of law, immured iti bastiles, or
banished to foreign lands. Like Louis tho
Fourteenth, Lincoln declares: ‘‘l am the
Bbilo, and whoever opposes me, whoever
calls In question my acts or my policy,
is an enemy of tho State, and a traitor to
its government.’' But we are happy to know
that there is a groat and growing party at the
North, which does not admit that Abraham
Lincoln is tho government, and which we trust
will in November next, overthrow the usurper
and his absurd pretensions.
\Vo luvo a patty at the South atul hero in
the State of Georgia, which sM.s up identically
the same pretensions fur the agency, the ad
ministration at Richmond, with
equal ignorance, impudence, and arrogance
that it is the Government; and that any op
position to its measures, or criticism of Its acts,
is opposition to tho Government. Either
through mental "blindness and imbecility, or a
willful ami deliberate intention to subvert the
cardinal principles of our political system,
these champions of arbitrary power fail or
roltise to draw the obvious distinction between
the Confederate Government, the government
al machinery which the Slabs havo'oreated and
own, ami tho men whom they have selected to
run that machinery, to administer that Gov
ernment. Adopting the style of the Lincoln
organs the truculent and subsidized progs of
the Northern usurper, they perpetually talk of
the administration at Richmond its the Govern
ment, and affect to denounce opposition to
any of its mentbow, or even subordinates, as
hostility to the ftovornraent itself.
In the columns of the administration organs
we observe this perpetual confounding of things
and terms entirely distinct—the government
and its agents constantly spoken of ns identical,
and any animadversions upon any of their acts,
denounced as hostility to the government.
Even the Governor of a sovereign State is hec
tored and nbused, for daring to entertain or
express an opinion at variance with the Itich_
mondofficials, lie, too, forsooth, is belabor,
ed as an opponent of the government. In their
lind adoration of a centralized power, they
see but one. government—the ndminlsiration
at Richmond—losing sight of the fact that
there is. also, a government in their own State,
which has some rights and some pretensions to
sovereignty.
It is the government, reiterated with fulsome
aud sickening adulation—meaning thereby not
the constitution, not the balanced powers and
departments which it lias established, but the
President, as si lie. tho chief of only one of its
departments, wore tho government itself. An
enlightened people, jealous of their rights aud
sovereignly, wilt visit with prompt condemna

Shermao has been brought to a t land before
Atlsnta. His inability to whip us iu battle, t;
carry our entrenchments, has been demonstra
ted in five engagements since b ■ reached the
envirous of the Gate City, liis flunking
strategy is exhausted. His raiding experiment
has proved an iguoiaiuious failure. Out
glorious army, commanded by the intrepid and
invincible Ilood, opposes a living wall of de
fiant valcr to bis further advance. He-has
reached the termination of bis campaign,
though not the goal of Lis ambition.
It is supposed that, like Grant, he has com
menced mining—the dcinier resort of a de
feated Yankee General. But digging will not
accomplish his purpose. 'I lie spade .will not
avail him. Supposing, even, that he may
succeed in effecting a breach in our line of for
tifications, it will likely prove a deadly breach
to him, as it did to Grant at I’eten burg. Our
unconquerable troops are ready to meet him
in the breach, and fill up the chatm he may
make with the dead bodies of his negroes and
foreigners, as did the gallant Maiione. En
filading fires may mow down his ranks, and
pile up hecatombs of dead Yankees to the
Nemesis of Southern vengeance. Or-if lie
should gain the rear of our fortifications, he
will then have a battle to tight which in a!!
probability will result in a disaster to his arms,
more stupendous than any tint has yet covered
them with defeat and disgrace.
We feel an abiding confidence in tho success
of G>m. Hood, and tho safety of Atlanta. The
boasted strength of Sherman’s army has been
already tested,' Its inability to overcome cur
own, has been demonstrated fn repeated trials,
never was our army in suchsplendid condition.
It lias been largely reinforced and'Still cont in
ues to he reinforced. Its organization is com
plete. Its spirit is exultant ant! defiant. -Its
confidences in its leader, is unbounded. It
awaits with impatience tlic hour when it shall
moot the enemy in a pitched battle. All depres
sion, all fear of defeat has vanished, ttonfi
dent of victory, it rests upon its arms, awaiting
“the final issue.
it is a question now whether there is to be a
battle or a race. A few days may dec do it.
Sherman will either have to tight or run. lie
may have to do both. Stay where ho is, in
peaceful security, to dig and fortify, and rav
age the country .with raids, ho cannot. The
elements of opposition are gathering around
liiin, soon to explode in destructive! fury. Tho
soil of Georgia is not much longer to be pol

I c.i v dry o' Gen. Hood’s army has had a
flue opportunity to display its tackle during
tho recent raids, and right well has it been
improved. It has exhibilrtl splendid prowess,
and high capabilities, which give promise of
brilliant achievements in the future. It has
shown greater cllt ieoey than ever before. It
is now lho worthy rival of tho victorious cav
alry (if Virginia, whoso deeds of daring and
valor it has successfully imitated. The people
ows to it a debt of gratitude, for Hip protection
it lias given Middle Georgia against the marau
ding raiders of tho enemy. Their gratitude
and .applause are unstinted. Tho praises of
the gallant nnd gloiiulU Cavalry of thu uroj
Os Georgia, aro on every tongue.
> New leaders have appeared on the field,
among whom tho gallant Iverson, lloildy,
Jackson, and Williams are conspicuous. Etch
has already earned a high reputation, in this
new field of action and of glory. Wn antici
pato for them a brilliant career, and doubt not
that they will continue to add to tho laurels
they had previously won on other fields.
Largo additions have also boon made to the
cavalry force of Gen. Hood's army, from other
departments. And* the full supply of horses
and accoutrements, taken from the Yankee
raiders, will facilitate the remounting of many
more. This important arm of tho service will
hereafter be sufficiently strong both for offen
sive and defensive purposes.
Tho utility and effectiveness of cavalry aro
becoming more apparent as the war progress

Hampton, and Lac, have shown that they can.
light baltU'R as well as infantry. Drill' das in

Lloyd Garrison, one of the original abolition
ists, is now among tho recognkred leaders ot
tho Lincoln party, lie goes vehemently for
Lincoln's election, and (ho other Lincoln or
gans applaud his talent and influence. Garri
son says:
“ As to any fears that Judge Taney will un
dertake to nullify tire proclamation, they seem
to me groundless. Why, if Judge Taney, or
the whole body of the Supreme Court together
should dare to pronounce it null and void,
Maryland herself is so tar changed in senti
ment that she would strangle them and throw
them into the Potomac.”
This K,b said in a speech at a Lincoln meet
ing in Boston, and the sentiment called forth
“loud applause." The applauding of such
a declaration by a large audience, composed of
the men of the party in power, shows
what frightful havoc lias been wrought upon the
political morals of that party by three wissera
blo years of blended anarchy, tyranny, mis
rule and corruption.’ 7

P tr.-o.N- Bkowki.ow is tus Fibld Auxin. l’at
son Bronwlow ba3 been making another speech
in New York. It was in bis usual coarse, black
guard style. The papers say that the annexed
sentiments “elicited most tremendous ap
plause." From t hus the tone and temper of his
audience can be seen :
This war, I -ay to you. mast be prosecuted
with a vim and a vengeance, until the rebel
lion is put down, if it extermkiate from the
face of God Almighty's green earth every man,
w irnan aud child, south us Mason and Dixon s
lines. Those who have preceded me have
spoken of the ladies of tho South.
I bear testimony of ray own knowledge to
the Influence of, and the indomitable courage
of the ladies of the Southern Confederacy. The
most wealthy, the best educated, the most re
fined among them have planted themselves in
their doors and piazzas, and have run their hus
bands, sons, nephews, uncles, aud brothers,
out in the army.
‘■Go, volunteer and fight, or 1 will disown
you forever;’’ and when the Yankees met them
aud they fell, the Southern women complac
ently folded their arms ami thanked God that
they died in a good and glorious cause, fight
ing for the independence of the South.
But when the Aankees have stolen one of
their negroes they would bowl as if (lie devil
from bell was alter Hu m. The only way to
reach the tender sensibilites of a Southern wo
man is to gel alter her negroes. Kill her bus
band. and the thanks God that, he died in a
good cause; lr,H steal one of hei negroes, she
will timrl-and whine as it thy devil himself
w ere after her.
In the New Testament an occasion similar
to this is spot nos, only it. was a feast. La
dies and gentlemen were invited to attend.—
■ Various were the excuses cent; one had bought
a farm; another save, 1 have bought a yoke of
oxen; 1 must prove my steers A fourth says,
1 ought lo go, but it.is utterly impossible—l
have married a wife—l cannot go.
So you see, according to the Scriptures, one
woman can out-pull ten steers. I am glad to"
find Ihe women pulling in this glorious cause.
Bull on, and proecute Hie war. Let us carry
it on. We will get through with it .after a
v.’ti ie. We have been fooling with the matter
at the North. The Sottih is terribly in earnest,
and always lias been.
V on have not felt tiro effects of the war in the
lo’ ai States, but you are going to now. I
know that little mail Grant—ho is tho right
man in the right place. I am willing to see
Biehmor.d captured by him; but, if 1 hud my
way, 1 should choose that Richmond and
Charleston should be taken alone by negro
troops, commanded by Butler the Beast
Sherman has got the finest -army in ail the
world—not less than 150,000, all told. Hois
gradully advancing into the heart of the South
ern States. Ho will take that country. Grant
will take Richmond. And we will crowd them
into the Gulf of Mexico, ami drown the entire
race, as the devil did the hogs in tho Sea of
Gallilee.
When we come out of tho war wo will come
cut with 500.000, o: 000,0(10 of the best sol
diers, who have got ‘heir hand in, and would
as soon have their hand in a little longer as
not. Then lam in favor of giving old En
gland a turn.
We cau whip the Southern Confederacy; wo
can take in Franco and England, the whole civ
ilized world, and 1 want to carry it on until
we whip out all God’s creation.
Canadian Aitaiks.—lt appears from late
Canadian advicet that tho Constitution of
Canada is to be changed and that a Federal.
Union between the Stales composing the Brit
• ish Province in America is to be established.
Here is what the correspondent of iho New

An event has occurred ot the gtcatest possi
ble importance to the Province, and of some
consequence to the neigboring States.*
For two or three years the opposing parlies
in the Legislature have been veiy evenly bal
anced, and several successive governments havs
endeavored to administer affairs with very
small majorities, tha present administration,
at the head of which stands Sir E P. Taebo,
and which includes among its members Messrs.
Cartier,Galtaud John A. Macdonaid, was de
feated in tite House of Commons about, a week
ago; and.it became necessary either to dis
solve the House, or to strong then their position
in it. Preferiinc the latter alternative, Hon.
George Brown, editor of the Toronto Globe,

with iiim is, that a Federal Government is to
be established lor Canada, with provisions for

Brunswick, ‘ Nova Scotia, -Newfoundland,
Prince Edward island," aud the Red lliver
Ten itory.
Tory little is known as yet of tho precise ti'a
turo of tho scheme to bo devised but it appears
to bo this, that members are to be elected to
sit in flic Federal Assembly in numbers bearing
some proposition to the population and re
sources of tho several provinces, these mem
bers to deal with general questions while sit
ting to together, and then to resolve fhfimselves
in the same place, (Oitawit) into local legisla
tures,, dealing with local questions. Titus it is
proposed to gel, i itl of the expense of separate

ArFAiRS ix Kkxti'ckv.—lt appears that
affairs in K.-«ttinky are gonliing into a bad

work to induce alt the able-bodied m..;rof-s, in
such coupt! to run away nnd enlist; thus
withdrawing from the growing crops the labor
absolutely required to perfect and sEcuro them.
Large farms have thus been wholly robbed of
labor, and the crops now go to waste, i'ho ne
groes have been made to believe that it they
volunteered that they would not only obtain,
their own freedom, but would receive lour hun
dred dollars bounty, thirty days’ furlough,
with tlie privelegc oi going and bearing away
their families ; that they would all remain in
Kentucky, and In the course of six months the
war would be over and they free.
Thus tliousnnds have already been removed
from the fields where the growing crops rc
quirod their labor to the various camps es
tablished for reception. This, too. in excess of
what was due to Kentucky. And in South
western Kentucky an officer, using gun-boats
and Government transports as aids, was ac
tively engaged with negro troops in forcibly
taking hundreds of negroes from the fields to
his camp ; in many instances taking all the
hands on large tarms, leaving the crops to
perish for want of cultivation. ~
As soon as Lincoln received this lotter.be
issued a’proclamation announcing that martial
law was in force in Kentucky.
Forney, the chief newspaper tool of Lincoln,
in commenting upon the subject remarks thus:
We predict that before the LrA 500,000 draft
is made, Gov. Bramlette and his siaveholding
friends will be as completely prostrated as the

Mr. J. W. Hour, Urbana, Ohio:
DcarSii: : Yours of tbe 10th ult. together
with LYhaua Union of the Tlh of January aud
Bth of June reached me some days since, hav
ing been delayed by the interruption of our
mails consequent upon Morgan’s raid.
The national policy advocated by you in the
Urbana Union sent (o me, is the same consis
tently held by me from the beginnigof the rebel
lion to the present, time. Not being sufficient
ly mobile in principle to change with the
moving current of radicalism which now
threatens to merge our national life into a war
lo pi rpetuate a sectional, party ascendancy, 1
find myself in direct antagonism with’and as
sailed hy radicals anil robe's.
Having received no new light, I shall adhere
to the sentiments ami views of jxdicy which im
pelled me to give myself and my two sous to
the service of my country. T o suppress the re
bellion and restore the national authority over
tho revolted states; to preserve the Union
created by oirr Constitution, with the equality
and lights of She people and the States, has
been the paramount object which I have kept
in view.
All loyal men have held that the war was
forced upon us by the rebellion, and that our
object should bo the restoration of the nation
til authority, and the preservation of the Union,
witli Ihe equal rights of a'l the States and peo
ple. No truly loyal maa ever conceived the
idea of agreeing witli the rebels in proclaim
:ng ihe t nion destroyed, anil tho necessity of
having a “reconstruction” before we could
have a Union.
Loyal men hold to the faith of an unbroken
Union ; that the peace of the country is broken
by rebellion, and the national authority sus
pended or interrupted in the revolted districts,
but that tliiqUuioncontimfes to exists ns formed
by the Constitution ; and Hie restoration of un
f.ionai authority is all that legitimately awaits
our efforts to suppress the rebellion.
But anew war cry has gone lorth, “down
with slavery ! v The rebellion is nothing—sla
very everything. To reach it, the war must
bo carried forward to its extermination.
Tho doctrine that, by rebellion, States cetise
to exist as States, and can only have being at
the will oi the conqnerers, is started to sub
serve this nefc- phase of the war. All who do
not subscribe to this rebel dogma clothed in
radical dress, are denounced as disloyal.
I have lived and shall die in an adverse be
lief. 1 bold that tho power is in Congres
(Hot in tin: President) to admit Stnlos; and that
no power is anywhere granted to exclude them
-—but that onco a Stale, always a State in the
Union, is the constitutional and loyal doctrine.
No secession ordinance—no act of Congress,
no proclamation of the President, can destroy
the constitutional existence of a State once ad
mitted according to the Constitution. Rebel
lious citizens may be punished even with death;
but the life of a State can only be reached by
successful treason or usurpation. Natioanl au
thority should be exerted to preserve its own
just powers, as well as the “poweis reserved
to the States respectively, or to tho people;”
and tho people and States should exert all their
powers to maintain each in its sphere. Unless
this be done, disintegration by secession, or
centralization by usurpation, will bo the re
sulf, and the loss of our liberties the eonse
seqence.
Tho great purpose of restoring the national
authority and preserverving the Union with
the equality and rights of all the States, is now
laid aside or abolished hy those in power, for
tiie mere engrossing object of freeing the ne
gro. This madness which substitutes an inci
dent for an object, and a contingency for an
aim and end, is one cause for protracting the
war which yet go angrily crimsons our land
with the warm heart’s blood of our noble sons,
“fc'hoildies’-’—officeholders and office hunters
—fanatics and rebels arc conjointly engaged
against the present peace and future glory of
our country. Like Jonah ihe curse of their,
presence on board our bhip of State awakened
the storm, and keeps alive the wrathful ele
ments of rebellion, which threaten to engitlph
our hopes in the common grave of ruin. Let
the people whose sons are to bo victimized*-to
tho mad schemes of radicalism, in the modes
secured by our Constitution, cast these Jonahs
overboard, and the wave will subside, and with
the Union and the Constitution we will attain
glide upon the peaceful and glorious voyage
of coining ages. We want a President who will
“control events” to just and safe issues, and

I nm profoundly grateful for the very kind
and commendatory article of my old friend and
companion-in arms; but really regret that my
name was ever associated in connection with
the second oilico. Trying as l have been, to
serve my country and people to tho best of my
abilities. I find lbo presentation of my name
has been the occasion of renewing acts of an
noyance and injustice to tho people of my State
by those in power.
But we are too well grounded in iho faith of
our fathers to permit acts of maladministration
to make us enemies of our Government. Such
ncls may embitter the people against those
who inflict the wrong and make them mot e ear
nest in their determination at the proper time
aud in the l ight way, to cast off those who thus
abuse their powers. Tho ;ff(>iid spirit of my
.people cannot ho broken to kiss the band that
smites them, nor can they be driven into rebel

Government and a President, anil will not like
radicals nnd rebels, confound tho two.

ordered General Ilake to protest, against the
proceeding by a large majority.
A resolution was before tho Diet calling on
the Duke of Augustiubiirg to substantiate his
claims to Schleswig. The Paris papers warn
the, German powers against incorporating‘that,
question in their policy, as Schleswig is large

Two steamers were fighting off the Bull Rock

The London correspondent of the Richmond
Whig gossips thus concerning matters and
things in England. The letter is dated June 11 ■
Mi-. Lindsay’s motion is again postponed for
a fortnight, to await further news. One other
objection is, that on Thursday next it is said
the Opposition will make a strong effort to un
seat the Ministry—which, if successful, is all
that the friends of the South desire for the pre
sent, thinking that the new Mini-tiy will re
cognize Mr. Mason soon afterwards. [am not
of the opinion that such will be the result, even
if Lord Derby comes in, unless wo are the
positioned not caring for recognition by reason
of Gen. Lee and Geu. Johnston having thor
oughly smashed the Yankee armies. Nor am 1
at all of the opinion that the Opposition can
defeat Lord Palmerston. I have been assured
that Palmerston has been quite favorably in
clined towards us, even to the extent of assist
ing gentlemen to eradicate the known preju
dice cf Lord John Russell against us. The lat
ter has been the stumbling block always, and
has persistently defeated all efforts cither for
recognition or mediation.
Tou were mistaken in charging that Lord
Russell was bribed. No English Minister couid
be bribed. True, Lord Russell was a poor
man two years since. Now they say he is rich.
But the on dit in Court circles gives another
, version to the story. Cassius Clay, it is said,
arranged in Russia to use the secret service
fund for Seward according to tlie European
system, through titled Indies in the beef society.
A Russian princess shortly afterwards, for (in
civility extended to her by Lady Russell, pre
sented the latter with her portrait. This you
will see was very correct; and as Iho picture
was encircled by the most magnificent dir
moods—worth a million in gold—it was still
more proper. Lord Russell subsequently only
did liis duly, as between us and the Yankees,
and, of course, we can have no right to object
to Russian princesses making presents to Lmly
Russell, who has no voice in the Council!
Lord Brougham, strange to say, has come
over completely to our side, and is to be one of
a delegation to wait upon Lord Palmerston, in
a few days, to urge him to take some action in
our affairs. Tho delegation will be very impos
ing and will consist of a dozen Peers of distinc
tion, nnd as many more members of the House.
You will see that consols are now very low,
and that the money market is tightening. It
is difficult to see upon wliat basis tho Danish
war can be settled, and it is thought that Eng
land will certainly prevent the Austrian licet
from going to the Baltic.
There is no telling what a day may bring
forth, and tins ministry, which lias quietly
looked on for three years, and seen our poo
pie, a kindred race to themselves, subjected to
all manner of atrocities, and our bravest and
best slaughtered by the hundred thousand,
without endeavoring, by moral effect, to cause
a cessation of hostilities, may now, at a mo
ment’s notice, lavish their millions of money
aud all their effective strength, in a direct con
flict for a race with which they have no acu
ities, and no common ancestral traditions.
However, Lord Russell, within the past
week, has materially changed liis views, and
strong hopes are entertained by the friends of
the South that he will ultimately accept their
'resolutions, and agree to act. This lam told
by one of our strongest friends—a member
of Parliament, who wields great influence.
Mr. Mason, though denied official recogni
tion, has been overwhelmed with kind alien
tions since his sojourp here, and lias many
warm friends. Indeed, very few strangers have
ever enjoyed such social kindness as has been
tendered to him.

OFFICIAL DISPATCH FROM GEN. MAURY. \
Mobile, Aug. 5.
lion. J. A. Scddon :
Seventeen of the enemy’s vessels, 11 ships
and 3 irou-clads, passed Fort Morgan this
morning.
The Tecumseh monitor was sunk by Fort
Morgan.
The Tennessee surrendered after a desperate
engagement with IKS enemy’s fleet.

FROM MOBILE.
On Friday night, Lt. Col. Williams com
manding Fort Powell, evacuated and blew up
the fort.
'lire people of Mobile arc all ready for the
fray. Great confidence prevails. Tho people
are 'satisfied with the conduct of officers Buch -
anan, Murphy and Bennett, of the Navy.
We are painfully humiliated to announce
the shameful surrender of Fort Gaines r.f half
past nine o’clock, August 7, by Col. Charles
Anderson of the 21st. Alabama.
Tlria powerful work was provisioned for six
months, and had a garrison of six hundred
men. He communicated with tho enemy’s
fleet by flag of truce without the sanction of
Gen. Page.
Gen. Pago inquired by signal what his pur
pose was, but received no answer.
Attention was attracted by signal guns.—
Gen. Page repeatedly telegraphed, “ Hold on
to you! Fort.”
Tho same night Usn. Page visited Fort
Gaines and found Anderson on board the Yan
kee fleet, arranging terms of capitulation, 110
left peremptory ciders for Anderson on liis re
turn not to surrender, arid relieving him of his
command.
Although Fort Morgan tignallcd Angus
8, no answer was returned except hoisting
the Yankee flag on tho ramparts.
Anderson’s conduct is officially pronounce
nexplicabie and shameful.

They say the Tecumseh was struck by a tor
pedo opposite Fort Morgan, went down and ali
en board perished, including the Captain, ex

After passing the fort, the Tennessee came
up through the wooden vessels of the fleet de
livering broadsides and lookhig for the Hart
ford, tire flag ship of Farragut.
The Manongabcla fired and ;wn and struck the
Tennessee amidships.
The Tennessee and Hartford then got side In
side, the former pouring broadsides into the
Hartford’s port holes, causing, as the True
Delta say;;, a fearful Ices of life on the latter.
The L&ckawan-i and others came up and
fought untiil the Tennessee surrendered.
The papers report that Admire l Buchanan’s
leg will be saved. lie told tlit-iu he would

•‘The Thunderer” on American Soldiers
The London Times says : It is one one of iho
most astonishing incidents in the remarkable
struggle, that battles which surprise all Europe
by their fierceness should be fought by armies
and generals extemporized for the occasion.
H is a lesson which should bo carefully noted.
There is hardly a regular battalion iu th ? while
of the enormous hosts which are contending
wuh such unparalleled ferocity and resolution.
The veimans who are occasionally spoken cf
cannot by possibility be soldiers of more than
taree years’ standing. Our own volunteers hi >
older troops than those under Grant or Lee.
Ihe whole of the dreadful fighting has been
none by volunteers, aud volunteers without us
much training as our own riflemen. Yet tlier 3
raw companies, without professional spirit or
regimental traditions, with captains snatched
from the counter or the store, and with Gener
als who were attorneys a few months ago, ai o
fighting with as much obstinacy and heroism
as Napoleon s Old Guard of Germany’s biaves t
warriors. There may be little science in tha
business, but of all that makes soldiers them
is as much as iu any war of which we read.
