arly secession of Virginia. War once commenced, no one who understands the interests of the North in the Union, and the temper of the Northern people, could anticipate a short struggle. If we had been able promptly to follow up the battle of Manassas, as far even as the occupation of Arlington Heights, so as, without occupying Washington, to hold a rod in terrorem over it, we should be a good deal nearer peace than we now are. But what is this war for? We think it is just for what Mr. Lincoln says it is — the subjugation of the Southern people. It is useless to say that no sane Yankee can indulge such an idea. No Yankee is sane upon this subject. The consolidation idea in the Northern mind is universal and ineradicable. You might as well attempt to convince a Northern man that the city and county of New York are not part of the State of that name, or that Boston does not belong to Massachusetts, as that the Southern Confederacy is not a part of the Union.

enly left the cities of Davenport and Keokuk to avoid it. But few men can be found in that section who will own that they are abolitionists, as such fanatics are excluded from genteel society. Having been forced to stay in St. Louis three months before he had effected his escape, he took special pains to ascertain the sentiments of the people. He found that nearly all the old residents, and the mass of the English population, are for the South, while the Germans are as universally for Lincoln. Three-fourths of the Lincoln army raised in Missouri are Germans, who give more trouble than double their number of other troops, for if they are not paid square up, which is difficult to do, there is a row in camp.

ing qualities of heart, his unflinching integrity, intelligence, and industry. A report is in circulation to-day that Commander Shufeldt, acting Consul General of the Northern Dictator for Cuba, has ordered the U. S. steam frigate San Jacinto to follow the British steamer Trent, and to arrest said vessel at sea until he can abduct therefrom the persons of the Ministers, their suits, and families, of the Confederate States of America, and take them to the city of New York for deposit in Lincoln's boarding house, at Fort Lafayette. Although I have no faith in the supreme intelligence of Shufeldt, his mind not being in proportion to his physical construction, yet I do not believe him such a Dogberry in small clothes as to commit such an act — there being many persons here who would make up a large purse for him to retire upon, if he could be procured thereby to consummate such an atrocity upon the high seas against the flag of old England, and the rights of those under its protecti

or the purpose of bringing back the Southern State to their original position in the Union without impairing any of their constitutional rights"--that is to say, that he for one will not sanction the assertion that if they bring back the Southern States they will abolish slavery. Again, General Fremont, a man of great influence, thought that he would assume a line of conduct for himself, and said he would liberate the slaves of all those in rebellion; but he was ordered by the President, Mr. Lincoln, to contradict this proclamation. I make these observation s to show that there is no truth whatever in the rumor of any intention on the part of the Northern States to abolish slavery by this quarrel. It is not a question between us and slavery; but simply how we are to obtain cotton wherewith to feed our large manufacturing population. It may be said that we have nothing to do with cotton; that we are going to be happy in Essex all the winter, spend a merry. Christmas, and we ou

, and his intentions not again to fight against the South, taking care his companions should not hear his professions, and that he since says our ladies spit upon him, sadly disgusting him with the sex, and that he was not on parole of honor, but forged your name to a pass, and escaped. I have since seen in Federal papers that he has gotten back by way af Old Point to his regiment in Western Virginia, that he will likely be made a General for his honorable and adventurous escape, when even Lincoln might refuse him for promotion or place, if he is so low as to break his parole; at least, he should bear his proper earmarks in future, wherever he may be.
