mance of their duties. If the application of steam to ships of war and other naval improvements accounts for the success of the enemy in his two assaults upon inconsiderable earthworks, how is it that the great naval squadrons of England and France were unable to assail Sebastopol and other Russian seacoast fortifications with any success, but came off worsted in every encounter, whilst Admiral Napier did not even attempt to cope with Cronstadt? There was scarcely a sailing vessel in eitheferent, as it will be hereafter, if we do not neglect the common provisions against naval assault which have elsewhere rendered shore batteries invulnerable. We do not recollect but one single success which the combined fleets of England and France, both in the Baltic and the Black Seas, achieved during the Russian war. That was the reduction of the fortification of Kinburn by the iron-plated vessels introduced by Louis Napoleon. That experiment served to demonstrate the capacity of vessel

ry tion of active operations, and we look for nothing of an exciting nature so long as this state of things continues. The vaunted Burnside expedition is a dead-lock somewhere on the "stormy coast," and all the deep-laid schemes of the enemy bid fair to result in nothing of practical importance. Meanwhile, the tone of the European news is by no means discouraging. The extracts which we publish this morning, embracing dates to the 18th ult. will be read with interest. Both England and France regard affairs on this continent with deep solicitude, and everything encourages the Southern people to redouble their energise and fight on for liberty and independence; for even though these inestimable blessings may belong deferred, they will eventually reward their efforts. The world looks with wonder and admiration upon the alarm resistance the South has made for eight months past, and a determination to open the spring campaign with even greater energy will conduct us to the goal of o

versal Yankee Nation," because he did not catch the Sumter, though, from all we can learn, he had fits on the occasion. This honorable Captain is, indeed, a fit representative of the honor of Yankee-doodle dom, for he violated the sovereignty of France and his own solemn pledge at the same time given to the commanding French and naval officer present, by causing blue lights, (brought all the way, no doubt, from New London, Connecticut,) to be burned on board a Yankee schooner in the harbor, to signal to him my departure. But I only allude to this en passant, as France is abundantly able to take care of her own honor-- "If the universal Yankee nation can whip all creation!" When Mr. Welles learns, too, that on my way hither I burnt three more Yankee ships, and liberated a fourth, only because she had an English cargo on board, he will probably send six more of his doughty war ships after me — that is to say, if he can spare them from burning corn-cribs and frightening women

ghout the United States, the specie in their vaults, on commerce and manufactures, on railroads and steamboats and their passengers, on gas companies, on news papers, and on all kinds of production and business whatever. Waiting till the twelve months volunteers go home. The following piece of policy is suggested by the New York Herald: The present armies of the rebels were enlisted for one year, under the idea that within this limitation King Cotton would call in England and France and settle the question. The year, however, to a large body of the rebel troops, is drawing to a close, and just as the Government of the Union is beginning to show its strength. Our troops, enlisted for three years, are all right; but with the expiration of the one year of the rebel volunteers thousands of them will go home to look after their families and private affairs; for they have been depending on this important privilege, and they will have it, unless forcibly detained. That they

Northern Items. --Donald McKay, of Boston, has ready for shipment to France and England sixteen hundred tons of white oak ship timber, for which he is to receive sixty dollars per ton. One-half of it is in Boston, and the other half in Delaware. Is the Secretary of the Navy aware of this fact! The jury in the case of Samuel H. Merritt, tried for the murder of John Swain, Secessionist, before Judge McCunn, in the General Sessions, New York, came into Court on the 23th inst.--having been locked up during the night — with a verdict of manslaughter in the third degree. The jury recommended Merritt to mercy. The Superintendent of the forage department in St. Louis has given notice that he will receive no more forage purchased through the old secession Chamber of Commerce in that city. The Wisconsin Assembly, by an almost unanimous vote, have expunged the joint resolutions, which were called the Secession or State-rights resolutions, passed by the Republican Legislatur

some share in it? What is certain is, that the Northern States have hitherto set aside that poisoned weapon in their struggle with the South. But exposed to the threats of England at the moment when they are loyally resisting the rebellion of the South, there will be few Americans who will not exclaim, "It must be put an end to." It will be said that we call for war; but that is not the case. We wish, on the contrary, to find a means of preventing it, and we see no other than the veto of France, the incident of the Trent being set aside. But under what pretext can England be prevented from interfering in the United States if the slave war breaks out in the Southern Confederation?--Can it be expected that the United States will allow themselves to be cut up without saying or doing anything? The recognition of the South and the violation of the blockade will prove the inevitable dissolution of the great American Confederation; no one can doubt it, and everyone feels the presentimen

From France. No Americans Admitted to the presence of Napoleon — Mason and Slidell. The Paris correspondent of the London Morning Post writes as follows: "It appears that Mr. Dayton, the American Minister at Paris, sent in a list of soell are expected shortly to arrive at Havre, says that no obstacle will be offered to the fulfillment of their mission to France and England. The Plenipotentiaries of the South will be allowed to plead for the recognition of the South. The Presediation of England in Peru, and that England has accepted the office of mediator.
