May 20th, 18BI, To ihe Editors of the South Alabamian, Greenville Dear Sis Some weeks since, the people of my native county, Butler, In publio assembly, expressed the preference for me as the next Go vernor of Alabama. Seven or eight newspapers of south and middle Alabama have placed my name at the head of their columns as a candidate for Governor. From many sources I have received personal solicitations of similar character. For the several manifestations of confidence, I wish, through your paper.

i oipreaouiy sincerely tuanKiui accnowjedgements, Especially ara my thanks duo to the people of Butler county to those who have known me from my boyhood, and who, on many occasions, have entrusted me with their dearest interests. But I must decline to be a candidate for the high position to which my too partial friends would assign me. I am not now never have been aa office seeker. When Office is tendered as a freewill offering from the people the honor ought not lightly to be rejected. I cannot consent to enter into a scramble even for the office of Governor of my na-five State, this is no time for strife or division amongst us, tha hoarse voice of party should be silent; clarion tones of patriotism alone should be heard in this criaiB of our publio affairs, surrounded, as we are, by difficulties and dangers of ao ordinary magnitude; in the midst of a war waged against, us by foes stimulated by fanatical hatred to us and onr institutions, It behooves us to be a united people, And I should rejoice to see but one candidate, and bur next Governor elected by the -unanimous vote of the people of Alabama.

To achieve the moral power, such spectacle- would present to our friends, and enemies, all individual preferences and partialities should be disregarded, and doubtless will be, by, the patriotic sobs of Alabama, There are. Several gentlemen Of distingnisheat -ability names bate been suggested, sads whose claim are pressed by. their friends to the-high office. If all continue thus to run, I con discover in the result nothing bnt contention and division amongst those who ought to be harmonica-. Above tail things should regret to see the spirit of party displayed.

I cannot, in view ot the jduty I owe to my State, and to the great cause which sow fills every patriots heart with thrilling emotions, permit my name to be a cause of distraction. I am, free to confess that one resoawbSch has induced me to arrive at tha conclusion here announced, is that of the seven or eight newspapers having my name at the head of their columns as a candidate for Governor, only two of these have heretofore advocated whit, in past times, were called democratic principles. As I hope and surely trust the slumbering embers of party may never again be rekindled in Alabama, I am unwilling to do anything which may have a tendency to -excite the recolleotioaof by gone party conflicts, defeats or triumphs, Iprerar. to torn my thoughts and my to the rosin, tenance of tbe Confederate Government we have made, and of the truths implied in its establishment The people of Alabama through their Ordinance of Secession, have simply aswrted their right to self-government. The State organization is unchanged.

The relations which the people of Alabama bear to other States and foreign Governments bave been changed. In the exercise of a right belonging to every free, people, wehay withdrawn from one federal compact, and hava united our destiny as a State with others, forming a new federal or Confederate Union. This Confederate Union must be maintain-" ed at nil hazards and to the last extremity. Oct enemies deny as the risht of freemen. War is made on us becavse wa but ezerctte the right of free- ji i Northern Government and people ia not only Inconsistent with our rights as equals, but ia insulting to our pride as men.

And every faculty of oar nature, and every means God has placed in our power, will and ought to be employed to repel thosa who hate us, and who unjustly invade our soil, to make us worse xuan slaves. WJtn. muted, united hearts, united heads, and united means, our defenoa will be aura and our triumph glorious. very respecuuuy and truly yours, T. H.

ISO AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE THE TRANSFER OF APPROPRIATIONS. Sectios 1. The Congress of the Confederate States of America do enact, That during the recess of Congress the President of the Confederate States may and he Is hereby authorizedon tbe application of the Secretary of the proper department, and not otherwise to direct, if in his opinion necessary for the public service, that a portion of the moneya appropriated for a particular branch of expenditure in that department be applied to another branch of expenditure in the same department; in which case a special account of moneys thus transferred shall be laid before Congress during the first week of the next ensuing session. Sic. 2.

This act shall continue and; be of force-until the end ot the existing war, and no longer. EQWELL COBB. President of the Congress. Approved May 14jl861, JEFFERSON DAVIS. TsmusstK Eticiiqs.

We learn from. a. ger who came from Nashville on Saturday, that the Tote for adopting the Ordinance of Secession -all along tbe line of the Railroad to Cbatanooga was unanimous, except at one -point where one vote was polled against it. At Chattanooga the vote stood 450 for and 51 against. Secession carried in Knox- vill by majority, as reported.

Some apprehension was felt before the election that there would be civil war raised by the Union party of East Tennessee, but it is believed, that, 03 the Ordinance has been' adopted by such an overwhelming majority they will submit witbouta murmur The CoTtraershlp. We publish in another column a letter from Hon. Thomas H. Watts, in which he declines, to enter the race for the gubernatorial chair of Alabama. The tone of tbe letter is manly, bold and patriotic, and will strengthen the high opinion of the writer pre viously entertained by the people of the State.

Mr. Watts recognizes the desirability of preventing anything like a partisan struggle for the Governor ship. He is anxious that the next incumbent of that office should'be the unanimous choice of the people, and he is not willing therefore, that his name should be used in connection with it for fear of creating a division. Mr. Watts is and has been an unswerv ing supporter of the causa of Southern Rights, and there are doubtless thousands of the citizens of Al abama, who will regret his declination, as it will pre vent them from expreaaingat this time, in the man ner they desire, their appreciation of his worth and distinguished services.

The Volunteer State. Tbe returns from the Tennessee election, on Sat urday last, indicate that the Volunteer State has swung out of the Northern Union by an overwhelming popular vote. The State was already out by leg islative enactment, and it needed only the sanction of the people, legally expressed at the polls, to make the separation complete. The act of secession has now been folly endorsed by the people, and the last tie which bound Tennessee to tha United States has been severed. The pleadings for Union of the traitors, Johnson, Etheridge and Parson Brownlow were of no avail to stem the torrent in favor of a united South.

The 'traitors have been rebuked. Southern honor and independence has been vindicated, and the noble State which, contains the ashes of Anpbew Jaceson, ranged fully in fine with her sister States of the Southern Confederacy. From every valley, hill and plain her brave sons ara mustering for the fight. They have quick eyes, strong arms, willing hearts, "and whenever they may meet the foe, whether on their own soil or on that of other States, they will give a good account of themselves. The Volunteer State will fully sustain her former reputation.

The Hampton Outrage. Some account has already been, given of the excesses committed by the LincolniteB during their raids On Hampton, Va. Neither age nor sex" was safe from the myrmidoms of a despotic government; but act which affixea the seal of eternal infamy to the Officers in command of the U. 3. troops was the murder of Mr.

Lattimer. The troops, it appears, entered the store of Mr. P. Lattimer, at Hampton, and the commanding officer, demanded possession. This demand Mr, L.

refused to comply with, when the officer struck him across the face with his sword. Mr. Lattimer then drew a pistol, and killed his assailant. The Lihcolnites instantly seized Mr. Lattimer and took him to Fortress Mon-1 roe, where he was hung the Bame day.

'Thus per isbed, without a trial, one of the brave sons of Virginia because he would not submit to the dictation of an arrogant foe. It is full time we should know upon what prin ciples thi3 war which the Northern people have commenced is to be waged. If they are to murder in cold blood, without trial, and without shadow- of law, those whom they make prisoners, oar people should be aware of the fact. If prisoners are to bs executed for killing our enemies, and resisting at tacks on themselves and their property, let us know it. and Southern men will make up theif minds neither to fake nor betaken prisoners.

Unless the Northern Government at once disclaims the acta of its agents and makes proper reparation therefor, the present war will be one Of the most sanguinary and bloody ever known, Had Lattimer been killed heat by the soldiers at tbe moment when he -shot tha officer, the act might have been justified, on the ground that both men were killed in war, bat having been made prisoner, be was entitled to be treated either as a prisoner of war, or as a private citizen charged with a violation of the laws of the State, In any event, he had committed no crime worthy of death. If the -fact that war exists be recognized, he was guilty of no crime, according to the law of nations, and could be held only as a prisoner of war. If no war exists, then tha killing: of the officer by Lattimer -would amount to homicide. He was assaulted with a deadly weapon he had reason to suppose his life was in danger, and he killed hia assailant. On the supposition that no war was existing, it would have been considered'a esse of justifiable homicide, yet he was taken' out, and hanged like 'a felon.

Let us know, without delay, the character of this war. Are tho authorities of the North, determined to carry oat their declarations to treat the people of the South as rebels -and pirates ao, it is the duty of 'the military authority of Ihe Confederate States to take such measures as will in future compel our enemies to respect the rules of civilized warfare. An absolute equality in the treatment of prisoners on both sides should be sternly insisted on. It will not do to trust to their magnanimity. We are in a state of war with the moat unscrupulous and treacherous enemies in the world, and we cannot afford to trust anything to their generosity.

They must? be given to understand at once that unless they respect the usages of civilized nations, they will yet have terrible cause to regret their folly and madness. J5f Gen. Scott is said to have announced his in tention of being In Richmond, by the iSth of July. If he carries out that intention he, will be at the Capital in time io witness the opening of the Confederate Congress, on the 20th. The people of Scott's native State will donbtless be ready to give bim a warm reception whenever he chooses to make them a visit.

Correspondence of lie Advertiser. A Letter from the Ceantry. More good accounts of the crops Magnificent fields of gram oomeUving about political matters jfames suggested as candidates for office Feeling regard to the war The Advertiser the coun try, etc, etc. Uhiok Tows, June 8, 1861. Messrs.

Editors Our agricultural friends being impressed with the advice given by the most sensi ble portion Of the press in Alabama, bave come up freely to their duty and interest, and the fields of com that may now be seen waving in every direc tion are really indicative of prosperous times. Tbe crops of corn were never better at this season of the year, and if it will only continue seasonable a little while longer, the yield will be abundant. Everything is now being raised plentifully by the farmers, and if they only continue as they have commenced, the Southern Confederacy will in a few short years become the envy of the world. The Crop3 of wheat, rye and are truly magnificent indeed were never better, and the prospect of starvation no longer troubles our vision. The talk of competent men to serve oar Country in a legislative capacity is now one of the interesting subjects.

Tha best of feeling prevails. The little party spirit that has heretofore so deeply agitated the public mind has, happily for our section, by one fell Btroke, been effectively destroyed, and men can now reason and consult together on matters in which their interest is involved as friends, and not as enemies. The names of various geutlemea have been pro posed to represent Perry county in our next Legislature, among whom P. N. Booker, Esq but he de dines becoming a candidate, owing to the health of his family.

The name of Robert Christian, has been proposed as a suitable gentleman to represent this Congressional District in the Congress of the Confederate States. He is a talented gentleman, and donbtleaa would adorn that position, if elected. Tbe news of war and it3 progress in our country has now no terrors for ourpeople. They are in excellent spirits. Having every confidence in the valor of Southern troops, they know our cause will gloriously triumph, and we can be redeemed from the domination of foul tyranny and misrule.

Your paper is a regular and acceptable visitor to this office. All speak in complimentary terms of the ability and dignity that characterize its columns. Its tone is manly and spirited; it contains nothing calculated to engender ill feeling; brainless fools find no room in its columns to give the publio a chance of ascertaining by their braying the length of their ears. The circulation of the Advertiser ia rapidly increasing in our midst, and it is becoming a great favorite with our people. Respectfully, jj.

6S" Jacksonport, Arkansas, waa submerged on tbe 18th, nit, Business was suspended, all the gardens destroyed, and the damage to property enormous. In in Th SMgs ike Sntlu The man who once remarked that if he could write the songs of a nation he cared not who made the, laws, was evidently a 'close observer of human, nature. He felt and acknowledged the truth, that men are governed more by their feelings and sympathies than by respect for any strictly prescribed code of morals. It was not without reason, therefore, 'that "he placed the profession of the songma-kerof a nation above that of the law-maker. The truth is, the man who con rightly touch the hearts of the people through the medium of popular songs, is the true lawgiver of tha nation.

The national airs of England have done more to strengthen and perpetuate the Institutions of that country than all the laws of Parliament that were ever and every one acquainted with the history of the spirit-stirring Marseillaise, knows that air been more potent in determining and controling the aotion of the French people than "an army with banners." In onr own country every one can testify from experience concerning the electrical effect which the national air has upon the hearts of the people. The present difficulties in America have had the usual effect in such cases, in bringing to the surface an immense number of song writers, or those who aspire to be considered as such. All manner of songs, hymns, and chants, "from grave to gay; from lively to severe," have been showered upon us in an endless profusion. Addresses to volunteers; invocations to the goddess of Liberty; marching songs, and songs Intended for national hymns, hava literally rained upon the people through the columns of the press. Many of them are destitute of merit tha veriest doggerel in the world, and the only regret concerning them ia that the friends of the authors had not sufficient candor to tell tbem to burn rather than publish their productions.

Others, again, are well worthy of being preserved with the literary archives of the country; bat among them all we have not recognized the national air of the South. The nearest approach to it, and the one at present most likely to carry off the" palm, is "Dixio." Yet Dixie is not the production of a Southern poet. What ia needed for a national air is something easy, smooth and flowing, something that will speak the true sentiments and touch theheam of the South ern people, and that will be at onca recognized as the national air. There is yet a chance for gome poet or poetess to immortalize hia or her name, and occupy a niche in history above that of the law givers of the State. Who shall it be? A Day of FastlaeanJ Prayer.

Iris eminently right and proper that the people of the Confederate States, in view of the many mani fest proofs of Providential interposition in their be half, from the very commencement of the present struggle for independence, should make gome public manifestation of their gratitude to the Giver of all good for the blessings they have thus far received, and to invoke a continuance of the Divine favor. The people of the South have never to any great ex tent been infected with the dangerous Isms which have gamed currency at the North. They have ev er been free to acknowledge their dependence upon a Power greater than themselves a Power which ia able to guide them through the perils and diffi culties which now environ them, and finally lead them into ths haven of national prosperity and happiness. Itis, therefore, from no desire for oBtenta-tionii display that our people will, In accordance with the proclamation of the President, observe Thursday next as a day of fasting and prayer to God, but from a deep feeling of reverence, and a heart-felt sense of gratitude to that Power which has thus far sustained them, and without whose helping hand all their efforts would prove unavailing. A Christian people, such' as wa profess to be, should at all times be willing to acknowledge then-dependence upon the Supreme Ruler of the universe.

The Constitution of the Confederate States, supplies an omission in the old Constitution of the United States and commences by "invoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God;" therefore, it is in strict accordance with the solemnly declared -sentiments of the people of this Confederacy that President Davis, has. recommended 'the observance of tha 13th of the present month as a day or fasting and prayer, and by such religions services as may Sa suitable to the occasion. We hope the day may be generally observed. Let business be suspended, and let the people in their homes and In their churches implore tbe Divine blessing on onr efforts to drive the enemy from our borders. Scent igtata of the North.

Many of the Northern papers are boasting that their government has secret agents throughout the South, whose business it is to gather information, and that they succeed in keeping Mr. Lincoln and his officers thoroughly informed In regard to every important movement In the South. We have no doubt this statement is substantially correot, and for the protection of the South it is necessary that meas-ores should be adopted to put a. stop, aa far as poa-ble, to the operations of these gentry. Heretofore there has been little or no bar to their movements.

They have travelled freely and -unquestioned all over the South, crossing the border whenever deemed desirable, for the purpose of making Teports to their masters. In times of trouble- and anxiety like the present, no advantage should be lost, and the utmost vigilance Bhould be exercised) to prevent the foe getting information of an important nature. Wa are now engaged in, a. war with the people of the Northern States a war which promises to be one of the most bitter and bloody on record, and there can be no propriety in. permitting travelers from that section to pass unquestioned.

No matter in what capacity a. maa may oome amoug us, unless he has a passport, entitling him to travel at will through the South, his place is in the public jail as a prisoner of war until soma other disposition can be made of him. It useless talk of the laws of hospitality. An enemy is an enemy. No matter what our relations may havebeen hitherto with the people of the North, we" cannew regard every man who is- a citizen of a Northers' State inr no other light than that of a public enemy, and sui euoh ha must expect to be treated if he undertakes to travel through the South.

This however, is. a matter for the proper authorities to attend to, and they will donbtless see the necessity for adopting: measures immediately to secure the end In view, and prevent injury to the cause of the Confederate States, from improper communications being made to th enemy by wandering secret agents. coHxraiCAixp. Fuds ftr the, War. I see that Congress has provided for voluntary loan of cotton to the Confederate States, by our farmers, to be secured by bonds.

Now, then, is the time for us to show our own resistless power, and our undying devotion to the Gwiedcritcy. Let there be no holding back, but let all come up to the occasion, and offer all wa havenjon tha altar of our country. If it were necessary to do so, It would be wise to gitc all, rather than hava it tahat tuny from us by Yankee vandals; but that is not necessary.

RlcmiOND, June Stb, 1861, Congress appointed a Committee to arrange for suitable Government Buildings, but, strange to say; none of its Divisions are yet located and in operation, from a serious difficulty unexpectedly encountered In thslr procurement and arrangement. The Treasury branch will occupy a portion of the new Customhouse as soon as the changes essential to its accommodation shall be effected. The War and Navy have been supplied, at great difficulty, with rooms in a large building known as the "Mechanics' Institute," removed several Squares from the Treasury Department. The Pogt-Office Is situated within still another building, styled Goddin's Hall," while the State Department will be located in yet another edifice, in another part of the city.

Near Nortcls, June 2d 1861. Since we have become regularly Installed in onr new quarters, the monotonous and somewhat Weary routine of onr duties In camp is beginning to be relieved by many incidents' of as interesting and amusing character.

The prospect that once seemed so dreary has been rendered much more cheerful by the capacity that is every day developed among the men to render army life pleasant, however great Its hardships may be, -by -the thousand little immunities of social intercourse those Sowers that crown and adorn, the column of man's Ufa and duty where e-rerit may be- reared. How true it is that there is some redeeming feature in every manner and condition of life, and. that happiness everywhere consists in making: the ills we bear subservient and obedient to the pleasures we enjoy. I might glTe-many instances, of pur pleasures did time permit. I cannot refrain, from giving one as of many.

On the right of our encampment, and in a beautiful grove Of pines, a platform been constructed under the hospitable direction of the Mobile Cadets, and last night was selected as the occasion for a musical soiree, "to which the different companies of the regiment were invited. The scene was by lanterns suspended from the over-hanging branches, and by candles placed in bayonets, which were arranged around the platform beneath. Around thia a largenumber collected at as early hour. The orchestre was composed of performers upon the vio-lin, flute, guitar, and banjo, each company contribu-' ting its share to this organization of one of the best bands I ever heard. The entertainment consisted of the, finest selections of music interspersed with songs and ah occasional dance, I was struck with the extraordinary quiet and good order that prevail ed among those preaenf.

I lave never seen any audiance distinguished by a more decorous regard for propriety than it, and have never been more folly convinced of ihe indisputableaway and -elevating influence that music exercises oyer the feelings and interests of the human breisf. The songs we heard so sweetly sung transported us back again to homes and friends we had left behind, and the memories they awakened and the feelings they inspir ed, threw a half-sad though pleasing spell over the attentive spirits of those collected- around. To this Scene of quiet enjoymen Tattoo put a reluctant end and the men disparted to their quarters, each one: feeling for himself that there yet lingered some latent harmony among the chords of his feeling, responsive still to the influences that el evate and adorn, oar nature. You are perhaps Aware that Rev. Dr.

Jennings, -of Lowndes -County, has been appointed Chaplain to this regiment. He is now here and officiated today for the first time in divine service. The exer cise waa attended by a large number of our regiment, and was of the most interesting character. The placo selected was tbe shade of a spreading locust standing near the rains that I spoke of in my last, whose ample boughs afforded sufficient ehade for our regiment The sermon was an excellent one, and was listened to with a degree of attention and interest that would serve as example to many a metropolitan congregation. Everything is now quiet here, though the most elaborate defensive preparations are gtill going on.

The Impression seems to prevail that some other point of attack will be" chosen in view of the excellent defences that now protect Norfolk. -However, thia may be, we are now under the strictest possible orders, and everything is in readiness for any exi-' gency that may arise. News reached us a day or two since that a number of U.S. troops had lauded at Newport News, and their destination has been the subject of 'much anxious speculation. The movements of he forces in and around Fort Monroe are watched with much Interest, as it is thought that that fortress will -be the base of Lin coln's first offensive campaign.

Tbe most unbounded confidence prevails with our men. All seem to think defeat even partial defeat an impossibility. In this they have much good reason, for our army is the finest in all that must contribute to success in a war like this, that ever marched to the field. Eager, brave and enthusiastic, well armed and equipped, and, above all, armed with an intelligent sense of the importance and value pf the issues they have left their homes to maintain, oar soldiers will meet their haughty and ruthless invaders and hurl them back broken, discomfited and hopelessly defeated. NumericaisUperiority can avail nothing against the arm of a free and brave people raised to protect and defend the highest and holiest rights that Heaven gave to man.

I have just heard that a spy was arrested to-dav In Norfolk. He is said to have belonged to the New "XT i en aui-i. aeventn, ana was disguised as a countryman. fauch gentry are numerous amongst -us. I doubt not, and an example might prove of decided advan- tage to the adventurous spirits that might hereafter oner their services to act in the same capacity.

Aha principle of concealing everything from the privates of an army is accepted and acted upon here, and in consequence my means of information are very scanty. So numerous, too, are our -various exercises in drilling, that I have no time to collect information. These facts will excuse the absence of news in this letter. The Blues and Metropolitans are well and in fine to olutions requested tbe members to address their constituents, and urge upon them the necessity of subscribing to this loan. The North has.

invaded our soil; our volunteers have gone forth ta meet and drive them back. Life, liberty and property are involred in the strug gle, i am here lor your good, not lor my individual benefit. I am here to urge you to act nowfor the defense of all you hold dear. This a civil war; a war in wbieh the fiercest passions arc arou3ed. Not only the soldier, but every man living the South, is deeply interested in the event.

He, who has the means, and fails to contribute to the support of the government, is in faot giving aid and comfort to tha enemies of hii country. I speak wbatl know. Money is essential to success. Our soldiers mast be fed and clothed. This is no place for idle declamations.

The Government has receiv ed from the loan $3,000,000, about $500,000 bave been received from the customs, 1,000,000 on Treas ury notes, have been authorized, malting in all 000,000. The Confederate States have now 100,000 troopB in the field. In times of peace, each soldier cost the French Government about $400. In the Confederate States, taking every thing into consideration it will cost for each man in the field about $900, or about $000,000 par day to feed and cloth 100,000 men. In addition to this, must be added the cost of the civil Administration.

We have not been acknowledged as an independent power by foreign nations. Wo cannot borrow money from European Bankers until this has been done. Where then is the money we need to come from: It must be raised in the Confederate States. To do this, there are but two modes, by taxation and by credit; that is by sale of Confederate bonds. The necessary amount cannot be raised by taxation.

In modern times, nations fight by borrowing, and by paying the expenses in time of peace. The Government asks you to give nothing, it only asks you to trust it. You have trusted the Government to dissolve the Union, you depend on the Congress to protect you in person and property. Will you hesitate to trust it with the necessary means to protect your interest? This is no donation. It is safe investment.

If these bonds ore worthless, then what are lands, negroes and Southern stock worth? The Government does not ask for money it oaly offers to take your crops, and pay you in Confede rate bonds. If they are of no value, what is your cotton, corn and wheat worth? How do our enemies regard our actions? See what sums they have offered, without any hopes of getting back one cent. They have, according to newspaper accounts, subscribed $82,000,000. The Tribune says, a reserve camp is being formed near New York for 50,000 troops. Their object is to subjugate us.

All of the great principles of English history, which are guaranteed by Magna Charts, and for which our ancesters fought, have been vio-Ienly outraged by Abraham Lincoln. He has blockaded our ports he has invaded our soil, and he is now making war upon us. What will cotton be worth next fall? Ask Mr. Lincoln. For unless you give the Government the means of raising tha blockade, ho will control oar commerce.

We must fight now, and to fight we must have money. Let not the country be plagued with a bad currency. Arms must'be bought, and if the seller will not take credit, he must have money, and vou the planters of the South must pay it. The nation that has the longest parse will win the modern warfare.

A FIGHT IN NORTHEN VIRGINIA. Richmond. June 6. We hae received the news of a sharp and brilliant fight, which occurred on Monday last, near a place called Phillippa, in Barbour county, in tha north-west part of the State. About 900 of our troops posted there were sudden ly attacked, at daybreak on Monday morning, by 8,000 of the Hessians.

At first, onr men were thrown into confusion, and retreated for a distance ofabout two miles to a hill. Here, taking advantage of the ground, they made a stand and three times repulsed the enemy, notwithstanding the great disparity of the numbers engaged.

It is not alone the; cotton manufacturing interest of England which likely to suffer by the continuance of a war in America; themanufaetorieu'of woolen, of iron and steel will feel the blow, though not as sensibly aa those which are directly dependent upon the fields of the South for support. The journals of Wolver- lkmptoa and of Sheffield, where aome of thes largest iron and steel works of the Kingdom are lo cated, declare that trade is now utterly prostrate and thatthere is no.

prospect of an immediate revi val. Nearly every commercial interest ingland will be affected more or less by the clash of arms in America; and the indications of peace Or war are watched with the most intense anxiety. The commercial iournab say that if the war between the North and South is a protracted one, the manu facturers of England must look for a financial crash exceeding anything of tha kind ever before known. While the port3 of the South are blockaded by ships of Lincoln's navy, and the Northern porta are closedby tha operation of the MorriMarif England cannot expect to make her usual shipments to and ftnm this countrv.

It is no exaggeration to say that at least six millions, of people in England alone are dependent upon the productions and trade of America for the bread they eat. It a not wonderful, wnan tbe existence of 30 many men, women and children, and hundreds of millions of dollars worth of valuable property are dependent on the turat of affaire ht that the most intense anxiety should be felt; or that the journals; in the interest of those most certain to be- ruined by war, should look with gloomy for tbodings to the fu ture. Some of these journals have nosr no hesita tion in, denouncing, the -dictator Lincoln, as the cause of the present and they call upon the English Government to- recognize the independence Of the Confederate State3, as the shortest way of securing a.

settlement. Afethe present day it is; commerce that rules the worldv Nations do Mi now CO- to war lor an idea. The people of England are eminently a prac tical peopleand they will not allow a sickly senti mentality concerning slavery, to control their aetion, an3, commit them to policy ruinous to the mercan and manufacturing interests of the- Kingdom.
