The "ll.irty will have e.xpiretl next Friday. We da not think tbe war will be closed by that tiuic.

Th" laboring classes of England have been i rejaawetj lo this condiliou by the imbetiiity and heaxUcHeucss of Lord John Kussell. Had a man of been Secrtiary for Foreign Af- I fail's, lie would have seen (lie true state of the case at would instantly have ae' knowlrdxed the iiidependeiue of the Confed; aaaae and raised I lie blockade of their poris. There would then have been distress in England, and tbe war would have been oxer in the South. Many thousands lof Eveexxajrlat liave saved, and anicli bit- I ler feeling have been spared. In the mean: time, we to believe in the pretensions of Kinu Cotton after ail, notwithstanding the severe shocks administered to bis throne within tbe last year.

ii a It is carious to see what ideas arc cntertnmed in Eurojie wirli regard to the war. "Tbe Times," this correspondent tells us, The power of the IVorth is foo great to be resisted." Ami yet the Grand Army of tbe North, lad ly tin. Yankee Napoleon, was out of its entrenchments a fortnight ago by itp fovce of "rebels," and has not BUaee budged one fmt in advance, wbQj.it is a "rebel" unuy fully its equal in ail olh'T respects, and far its Remaaiaf in valor, who de-tire nothing so much aa another trial of atretagth. ttaOtateial contented himself with neuding a lying bulletin to bin employers, and isnuing a lying proclamation lo his troops, but baa ventured to make Ibe advance be so valatastaly tin-eaiens. lticbmoud is not yet takep, Jackson is chasing Fiemont dowu the Valley, and lleanivgaid ia holding Hallo nt bay.

In the aame town to which Lincoln emigrated from Kentucky, and at tho samftWbar, there have been emigranta from the aamo State, who would have graced any civic or social position- Tho man was a vulgarian and ignoramus in Illinois as In Washington. He had ItretiarU witb him to tbe bur of tbe Courts Ihe mrflinera of another bnr.nt had retailed whiskey to the red eyed topers of the village at three e'ente a'glass, and tbe culture tftrish tti tbe railsplittera and boatmen, to whose fraternity he bad belonged in early What a magnificent illustration of the infallibility of the popular will! what an irresistible demonstration that the voice of tbe people is the voice of Ood! wax the selection of this unmitigated brnckgnard for the Preeidency of United States! Now, on the other hand, if wcwere to hunt over the United States for a man in all the externals af life, the leant like AJ'rnham coin, we could liutl noiio more different from him than Wm. 11.

Sewitrd. He Liurajlo neither in person, culture, or intellect. He baa aatea highly educated, and wan nme himself a tenelter. He is a respectable eeholar, a man of the lump, and learned lawyer. He has mingled with good society, aud been successful iti aping its manners, so aa to present a respectable counterfeit of a gentleman to persons not familiarly acquainted with tbat Yet it would be impossible to lind in the annals of history, abounding as they do in similar examples, more signal proof than Seward affords of the utter inadequacy of mere intellectual cultivation to civilize human nature, or convert a blackguard into a gentleman.

You might as well undertake to transform a pine table into mahogany by the process of veneering, as to make a gentleman out of such a man as Seward by any amount of external polish. He has literally and truly no respect whatever for honor or for good fa'ajh; lie can desceud to anything that is treacherous and vile for the accomplishment of his base purposes. The absurd and clownish President is less of a villain than the shrewd anil polished Premier, who lias upon his shoulders, more than any other man in the United States, the responsibility of the present war, and of all its misery and bloodslied. He deliberately worked up the anti-slavery sentiment of the North for his own political purposes, just as be had previously done that of anti-masonry, and the religious element in the free-school system of New York. He, more than any other man, had the power, when Lincoln was elected to the Presidency, to render impossible that resort to arms which-lias plunged the country in tears and blood.

Lincoln was entirely under his influence, and had called him at once to become his prime minister, his counsellor, and his friend. There has never been a moment since Lin- coin's election when Seward was not- the real I -'resident ef tbe United States. Lincoln was Irom the beginning mere clay in the hands of the potter. A wort! from Seward vyonhJ. have I niuui' him break the ominous silence Which he maintained from the time of his his inauguration.

A word from I have iuJiu-i'd him to extend the olive brunch, I (o declare that tbe Govenimeut of the United States rested upon tbe mutual confidence mid I love of its people; that it bad uo power lor ere ion, ami that be should exercise no powers i not granted to bim by the Constitution. What I tiuigical effects would sttcb a declaration have produced! Wbo that.knows anything of hu- man nature, or of the proud and generous i character the Southern people, does not know that such a declaration would have saved the old Union; that not a gun would have been fired, not a dollar added to tbe public debt, not a human life lost Tbat be never spoke that word, tbat be covered himself with darkness, leaving bis purposes, either for good or for evil, only matter of conjecture; that, privately and indirectly, he caused it to be understood I among tbe leading men of tbe South tbat be would not resort to coercion, and thus pre- I vented tbat uuited preparation for resistance wbicb might liave kept oil' a war, and then suddenly, when they were thrown off their i guard, called for an army of seventy five thou- aaud men to crush the South all this ia the work of Wm. 11. Seward, for wbicb, and all the calamities and rnkeriee tbat followed it, be, more than any other buman being iv A is ruspouAtible before God and man. It is right and proper that tho responsibility should fixed now, us the voice iiupartiahistory will fix it upon tbe man to whom it justly belongs.

What was the cause of bis departure seems not to be known, while at the earne Mmo the fact of bis going baa giireh rise to a thousand conjectures. The Herald says be goes tb persuade bis Government not to recognise tbe flidependeiice of the Confederacy, in- asmuch as Seward and Lincoln will crush out the rebellion in a few daya. This shows, at any-rate, whatXincoln aud Seward wish the Yankee people to think. Wa doubt, however, whether he has gone on any such mission, althotigh is pretty certain tbat be ia no friend to us. If.lie has, however, we think he will meet with an adversary iv tbe famine abundantly able to neutral all tiro arguments be may use.

rtuhor is, that be demanded hie passports before be left Washington, This we dottbt, for tbe simple reason that there is no cause of quarrel between tbe Yankee aud English Governments, so far as know. It is probable be goes for reasons of a imture altogether private. Yankee abolition paper, published In Washington, N. called the Era, in issue of June 4th, entertains its readers to the followiugjuscions specimen of news: "By the. nam'! source, (a dispatch steamer Which came through the from Norfolk,) we learn that General McDowell has got Stonewall Jackson completely hemmed in with his large force, thus culling oft all possible chance of escape.

"It appears that there existed a preconcerted ar- rangoment between Gen. Banks and Gen. McDowell for the capture of Stonewall and his entire force, which has been carried out to the letter, leaving the great Stonewall Jackson in McDowell's hands, With all of his. effects, a victim of misplaced confidence, "too bad, too bad, for poor Stonewall, just in the zenith of his fame, thus headed off itt his grand march to Philadelphia, New York, Boston, anil all the other Northern cities, upon which.he has promised to visit bis vengeance.

When they were asked by a lady if they were not ashamed of themi selves for httch outrages, they answered that they were rebel churches. From the town they went to I North River, a branch of the St. Mary's, and stole ten thousand feet of lumber from the La Grange Mill. Since then they have visited the mill again and stole more lumber.

The Federals have visited 1 St. Mary's three times since they evacuated it, and each time carry off fumitnre cr anything else they can lay their hands en. They allow the negroes to do as they please, and take anything they want. At St. Mary's they destroyed a large nunv ber of Bibles belonging to the Bible Society, and scattered the leaves all over the place.

Upon interrogating the two who stood tbeir ground, ihty stated they were part of the Provost Guard, and designed to carry the man and bis wagon to the guard-bouse.

Their design tb rob was no evident that the real officers immediately seized hold of both, and, after a considerable scuttle, succeeded in dispossessing one of them of his musket, when were borne off to Castle Godwin and locked up. An examination revealed the fact that the parties belonged to the 14th La. Regiment, and left the inference that they, came to town, and, like tbe lion, were prowling about seeking whom -they they might despoil. They will be tried by court-martial to-day. Respited.
