"I am a prisoner, and dangerously wounded.
It is consequently impossible for me to dispose of myself.

Divisions at the North.
[from the London times, Sept. 18th.]
With the last victories of the
South the flood of adversity has then above the heads of the
President and his Cabinet, threatening to sweep them away; and the civil war that was commenced to force the
Southern States into the
Union brings, as its first political result, the probability of breathing up the
Union among the
Northern States themselves.
The war was blindly undertaken to avert one great division, and the war itself is splitting the
North into fractions.
As the central power is weakened, that of the most wealthy and populous States is asserted in a spirit of independence of the
Federal Government; the first stage of the rising feeling is one of antagonism to the central executive as to the manner in which it shall be helped in the present emergency.
The next may be one of absolute opposition.
No State of the
North now threatens to secede, but several are taking a course of action that virtually places them in revolt against the central power.
The Republican party, through its official press, all but disowns and repudiates the
Government it created.
It declares that ‘"unless the
Federal Cabinet is reinforced with new vigor and ability the
Union cause will be overthrown."’ As the
Ministers can only be changed by the will of the
President, is he thus warned to throw over
Mr. Seward as a failure?
Two
Secretaries of War have been already dismissed, and the only members of the
Government supposed to have any power are
Mr. Seward and the
President himself.
Which of them is to go?
Or are both to be deposed?
There is no precedent for the abdication of the head of the

To give force to this demonstration the New York War Committee proposes to raise two armies of fifty thousand men each, to be commanded by

The Manchester
Guardian of the same date, after reciting the same forts which are contained in the above article from the
Times says:
‘
Against the dire confusion it is not surprising that private liberty should be and his regard is yet the facts we publish are still enough, and the spirit which permits them was well displayed by an actor at New York, who lately declared that.
If it became necessary to send half the whole people to Fort Lafayette, to Fort Lafayette they should go. Yet, with all this readiness to encamp so despotism the
Government at
Washington grows weaker every day.
Under its paralyzed hands the social fabric seems to be fading into utter disintegration, and the very people who are struggling to maintain the
Union are losing all among themselves.--Unless some speedy change is effected, we may expect to see
Pennsylvania and other single State treating separately for peace, and leaving New York to early on the war alone.
The main cause of this profound demoralization is of course to be the want of any man with the qualities necessary is committed in such a and that want is as plainly due to the possibility of the

On the 17th ult.,
Mr. Disraeli delivered a speech at an agricultural show at
Buckingham, in which he made the following allusion to the war in
America:
‘
It is impossible for us to consider the condition of the manufacturing population in the
North of
England at a moment when so ourselves are enjoying the great blessings which we now do, without feeling the conviction that the time may come when it may become our duty to advance to assist our fellow countrymen, (Hear, hear.) It is quite unnecessary on this occasion to speculate on the causes of this unexampled distress, but it is a distress, we must which has not been occasioned at their by any jolly of their own or any visitation of
Providence, but by the passions of men. I would not pressure under any circumstances, to offer any opinion on the probable duration of the terrible cause of this unexampled vicissitude, still I cannot but remember that in all times civil wars have been very long wars; that all wars in history which partake of that character — be it the thirty years war, for instance, or the struggle between
Athens and Linedemon — were wars of unexampled duration, and wars that begin from indefinite causes, without any precise project, are the wars that last the longest.
Hitherto manufacturing population of the north of have been sustained in their great calamity by the beneficial action of the existing law and by the named and spontaneous charity of these locally connected with them; but if this war continues, it is impossible to conceal from ourselves that there must be an appeal to a more extensive area than that inhabited by those who are connected with
Lancashire and part of
Yorkshire.
I am sure that on that occasion — if such an occasion should arise — the great landed interest in all its classes will remember what they owe to their suffering fellow-countrymen.

Flatted ships Vs. Ordnance.
The
Times, after reviewing the artillery experiments at
Shoeburyness, a report of which we published on Tuesday, comes to the following conclusion:
‘
As a matter of fact, we believe that the
Americans have not built a single ship which would be considered as fairly protected on this side of the
Atlantic.
They have gone to work with their navy, as they with their army and have thought for more of numerical show that actual efficiency.
As the controversy stands of perfect, ships can protected by the armor from all but a particular kind of shell and from all shot except such as are projected under certain conditions.
