The boatswain's mate ascended first, shoved the hatch cover to one side, and gained the roof. I followed him, and finding the halliards knotted, I drew my sword and cut them; we then hauled the flag down, Captain Bell in his diary says that when he offered to Lieutenant Kautz the privilege of hauling down the flag the latter waived the offer in favor of George Russell, boatswain's mate of the Hartford, to whom the honor had been promised.--Editors. took it to the floor below and handed it to Captain Bell, who on our return to the Scene at the City Hall — hauling down the State flag.

ging solemn thoughts of the uncertainty of life, and sorrow for such misuse of its great gifts and opportunities as I am well conscious of. This has been a good year to me. It carried me to the Pacific slope, and showed me indeed a land of promise. It gave me an unexpected joy in the harmonious feelings toward me and the members of A. A.W. at the Detroit Congress. It has, alas! taken from me my dear pastor, most precious to me for help and instruction, and other dear and valued friends, notably Sarah Shaw Russell, Mrs. George Russell, widow of the Doctor's friend and college chum. Abby W. May and Carrie Tappan. Caroline Tappan was Caroline Sturgis, daughter of Captain William Sturgis, and sister of Ellen (Sturgis) Hooper,--member of the inmost Transcendentalist circle, and friend of Emerson, Ellery Channing, and Margaret Fuller. I desire to set my house in order, and be ready for my departure; thankful to live, or willing to cease from my mortal life when God so wills. . .

In the early morning John M. Forbes's yacht, the Wild Duck, hovered around us, hoping to take off his daughter, Mrs. Russell.... Quite a number of us embraced this opportunity with gratitude.... October 3. All seems like a dream. October 7. Newport. I begin my life here with a prayer that the prolongation of my days on earth may be for good to myself and others, that I may not sink into senile folly or grossness, nor yet wander into aesthetic conceit, but carry the weight of my experience in humility, in all charity, and in a loving and serviceable spirit.

Mr. Russell's second letter on the Manassas rout — an editorial from the London Times. We subjoin a few extracts from Mr. Russell's second letter, dated Washington, July 24th, 1861: Lincoln's Cabinet. In the States one thing is certain — the Cabinet will resist the pressure of the mob or be hurled out of office. If they yield to the fanatics and fight battles against the advice of their officers, they must be beaten, and the tone of New York indicates that a second defeat would cMr. Russell's second letter, dated Washington, July 24th, 1861: Lincoln's Cabinet. In the States one thing is certain — the Cabinet will resist the pressure of the mob or be hurled out of office. If they yield to the fanatics and fight battles against the advice of their officers, they must be beaten, and the tone of New York indicates that a second defeat would cost them their political existence. They can resist such pressure in future as has been brought on them hitherto by pointing to Bull Run, and by saying, "See the result of forcing General Scott against his wishes. " Of the Cabinet, Mr. Chase, the Secretary of the Treasury, is perhaps the only man who bore up against the disheartening intelligence of Monday morning; but Mr. Seward and others are recovering their spirits as they find that their army was more frightened than hurt, and that th<

The "Free Press" of the Northern arrival of a British war steamer, &c. New York, Aug. 28. --The Herald says the extreme measures will be taken to suppress those papers friendly to the South. Detective officers are on every train leaving the city, to intercept packages. The British war steamer "Rindando" is below. The Washington correspondent of the Pro says that the Confederates are concentration in large numbers between the Chain Bridge (five miles above Washington) and Leesburg. The Washington correspondent of the Commercial Advertiser says that Gen. McClellan will go over the Potomac to-day, to inspect the troops, but will not permit any newspaper correspondent to accompany him, except Mr. Russell, of the London Times.

The South and England. The letter of Mr. Russell to the London Times, which is such a monstrous caricature of the battle of Manassas Plains, need not much astothe fact, no American, at least, can doubt, after reading the last letter of Mr. Russell and the accompanying comments of the Times. The impression which the whole fssity on one side, and Exeter Hall is a power in the State on the other; and Mr. Russell seems to be balancing his attention between the two, like the ass between tw. If Great Britain can hesitate in her choice between fanaticism and cotton, Mr. Russell is less of an ass than we suppose. --We do not believe she can hesitate long; we know she must bow the knee to cotton in the end; and if Mr. Russell, especially after the rout at Manassas, can be induced by Seward and Scott to believe that Eorbid philanthropy of abolitionism. We care not for the misrepresentations of Russell, or any other hireling emissary of the London Times. We have the cotton, and
