there is a vein of genuine chivalry in the British stock, which renders it impossible for a true Briton even to comprehend how a people can be so lost to shame as to exult in the idea of overpowering their enemy by sheer force of numbers. To glory in the spirit which can grapple with and conquer a more powerful foe, is the instinct of genuine chivalry and valor, but it is reserved for Black Republican warriors to reverse the sentiment, and fire national salutes over a victory like that at Port Royal, where ten to one was the odds necessary to secure their triumph. Whatever the cause, certain it is that every mail from England, every English journal, and every Yankee correspondent abroad, of a Northern press, confirm the impression that the sympathies of the English people are with the Southern Confederacy. We are not disposed to attribute this sympathy entirely to the fact that the interests of England are interwoven with our own. Nations like men are governed by interests, but

The comparatively small quantity of the staple which has fallen into the enemy's hands could have been destroyed by the proprietors but for the confidence they felt in the ability of the slight fortifications in their neighborhood to resist attack.

This message is a dying rld," to illustrate this theory. Such a conflict has yet to take place between the respective armies of the North and South. Napoleon once remarked, "show me where the enemy is strongest, and there I will attack them." Now, the victory at Port Royal has not diminished the effective strength of the Confederate army at Manassas, and there is very little question that Gen. McClellan, aware of the vital importance of a blow in Virginia, will, ere long, strike treason to the ground there, where
