es. England, grumbling, growling England — then, "for the first time and for the last time, presented the astonishing picture of a nation supporting, without murmur, a widely-extended and costly war, and a people, hitherto torn with conflicting parties, so united in the service of the Commonwealth that the voice of faction had ceased in the land, and any discordant whisper was heard no more." But then a nation would be hard to satisfy that, from universal disaster, was raised by the hand of Pitt to a career of the most uninterrupted success ever known in the history of Christianity. With this exception, an Executive, in war times, must expect to be the target for such of his countrymen as like a victim constantly to practice upon. He must expect to be pounded, and maimed, and belabored, as did the amiable Quill, the image of the ancient Admiral, whom he was always beating with iron pokers, and screwing gimlets into, and sticking forks into his eyes, and cutting his name on him,

im is an appetite which has no bounds, except the ability of the victim to resist and retaliate. It is that which makes the war upon the South so exhilarating to Black Republicans; they can strike and we cannot strike back. It is that also which is our own consolation. If we cannot strike back at them, we can pummel each other, and thereby relieve our natural indignation. The great use and advantage of an Executive in times of war is to have somebody to blame and abuse. The Earl of Chatham was the only man that ever escaped this all but universal fate of Presidents and Premiers. It is true, he was just the most self-willed, arbitrary and overbearing man that ever lived, and was so absolutely determined to have the control of measures, of which he had the sole responsibility, that he compelled the first Lord of the Admiralty to sign naval orders issued by the Premier — while the writing was covered over from his eyes.

Rebellion. Even Lord John Russell confesses his inability to see any cause for the excessive indignation manifested in the North at the crime of "rebellion." England, he observes, rebelled against Charles I.; rebelled against James II.; and the people of New England, not content with these two rebellions, rebelled against George III. Without deciding whether those rebellions were justifiable, or whether they were wrong, or whether the Southern rebellion is justifiable or not, Earl Russell says: "The mere fact of rebellion is not, in my eyes, a crime of so deep a dye that we must renounce all fellowship and communion and relationship with those who have been guilty of it. I own I cannot but wonder to see the offspring of three rebellions really speaking like the Czar of Russia, the Sultan of Turkey, or Louis XIV. himself, of the dreadful crime and guilt of rebellion." What adds to the audacity of this outcry, is the simple fact that there has been no rebellion at all, unle

What adds to the audacity of this outcry, is the simple fact that there has been no rebellion at all, unless it be that of the Black Republican party against the American Constitution. There must be allegiance to a government acknowledged before resistance of its authority becomes rebellion. The States never owed any such allegiance to their agency at Washington.

Blockade-Running. The following letter describes a voyage out from Wilmington, through the blockaders, before the fall of Fort Fisher. The writer has since been captured on board the blockade-running steamer Stag: Steamship Stag, St. Georges, Bermuda, January 1, 1865. My Dear Father: For being allowed the privilege of once more writing you from a point of safety, after experiencing a most dangerous trip from Wilmington, I feel the profoundest gratitude to the Almighty Being, to whose mercy alone I attribute the fact of our not being lost. The opening of this letter will no doubt fill you with the same feeling; and knowing that you will be eager for them, I will give some of the particulars, which can never be effaced from my memory. Just before leaving the coast of North Carolina, I wrote M., informing her of our expected departure on the night previous to Thursday, which letter I hope she has received. Night arrived, and about 12 M. we got under way, ha

ariety of human beings, all intent on the same business — that is, news. The negro is the predominant element; and if a white man conducts himself properly, he may consider himself quite as good as one. For fear that I might be tempted to show that I consider myself a little better, I keep my distance. I understand that English law is not as liberal towards men as ours; so it is best to keep out of its reach. I feel that I am moving in a new sphere, really. There are a good many Confederates here, all apparently in the Government employ. The bombardment of Wilmington created quite a sensation, and "block" runners are beginning to think that their occupation is getting to be pretty much like Othello's. I hope you will hear of my return very soon. Should the port of Wilmington be closed effectually, I may may go to Galveston, Texas, by way of Havana. There is no denying the fact that things are looking rather blue for us now; but I hope we will come out O. K. yet. J.

Just before leaving the coast of North Carolina, I wrote M., informing her of our expected departure on the night previous to Thursday, which letter I hope she has received. Night arrived, and about 12 M. we got under way, having no difficulty in evading the blockading squadron, from the fact that nearly all the ships had been called off from the "bar" (over which we passed) to participate in the attack on Fort Fisher above, the whole of which I witnessed with great satisfaction, particularly when I discovered that our guns were
