on in their hands, the original nest of vipers crushed, the impregnable Sumter fallen! All these, in staring capitals, we had seen in the mind's eye before they appeared in Federal journals, and are by this time accustomed to the contemplation. We can therefore endure with philosophy the extravagant jubilations of the Northern newspapers. Nor are we without sources of consolation and pride. Sebastopol became immortal by holding out eleven months against the combined powers of England and France. Charleston held out four years, and fell, at last, not by the superior strength of the enemy, but because our own military blunders permitted him to make strategic combinations which rendered the evacuation of Charleston inevitable. The defenders of Charleston have lost all but honor. Sumter, in its grim ruins, is a monument of Southern valor and endurance, which may well challenge the admiration of mankind and of posterity. The spirit that once tenanted those crumbling walls has ma

ernment. It may have suited the policy of those demagogues who assailed his Administration to represent him as a sympathizer with British institutions and ideas, but there never was a more groundless calumny. If he reprobated the aggressions of France upon other States, and was ready to draw his sword in defence of his own country against similar wrongs, no one was more sensible of the debt of gratitude which America owed to France for her powerful aid in the Revolution, and not Jefferson himFrance for her powerful aid in the Revolution, and not Jefferson himself was less influenced by English prepossessions.--Lord Brougham, in his eloquent eulogium of the character of Washington, says: "Towards England, whom he had only known as a tyrant, he never, even in the worst times of French turbulence at home, and injury to foreign States, would unbend from the attitude of distrust and defiance into which the conduct of her sovereign and his Parliament, not unsupported by her people, had forced him, and in which the war had left him.--Nor was there ev

e king of the Cannon Ball islands, and with all his crew was cast into chains and slavery, where he died an ignominious natural death, with his whole crew, leaving not one to tell the tale. Peace to his ashes and their'n. "Sir, the discovery of this continent was the greatest invention in the year 1492. Fernandez island was the stepping-stone to the settlement of this country, the United States, North and South America, Oregon and Asia, Hindoostan and Beloochistan, England and Turkey, France and China, and many others too numerous to mention. Behold these countries, traversed by steamboats, railroads and telegraphs, and ask yourself would these things have been, if it had not been for Columbus; and your reply would certainly be, 'Certainly not, sir.' If it had not been for Columbus, General Washington would not have been a man; but suppose he had, what then? What did Washington ever do that was a great benefit to his country? There is much said about his talents for war. To b

ould be in our possession on Monday, beyond a doubt, as rumors had reached the fleet that Bragg was rapidly evacuating it. Fort Anderson was the only work of any importance that barred the passage of our troops and naval vessels up to the city. The evacuation of Fort Anderson is said to have been hastened by a daring adventure of Lieutenant Cushing, he having floated a large scow up the river with the tide past the fort. It was discovered by the rebels, who thought it, in the darkness, to be a monitor that had flanked the fort, and caused a precipitate retreat. Foreign relations. A Washington telegram to the New York Times says: The statement in the London Times that we would be without a Minister from France pending the question of the recognition of Maximilian is not deemed, by those here who know, creditable, or amounting to anything if it did. Both Governments are now represented by Charge D' Affairs, and everything pertaining to our relations are friendly.

The London Globe's Paris correspondent says: "No French Minister at Washington will be appointed until the late William L. Dayton's post is filled by the bearer of satisfactory instructions respecting the threats made against Mexico." The Times's Paris correspondent says: "When the French Minister, Count Mercier, was recalled from Washington, the Americans were led to understand that no new agent would be accredited until President Lincoln should have recognized the Emperor of Mexico. This recognition has not been forthcoming, and there is no French Minister at Washington." The writer adds:"It is believed that Mr. Bigelow will continue to act as United States Charge D' Affairs in Paris for some time." Great Britain. In the House of Commons, on the 8th instant, Sir J.
