Jefferson Davis (search for this): article 11
His Excellency, President Davis, received and addressed Major Walton's Battalion of New Orleans Washington Artillery, yesterday evening, at six o'clock, at their encampment, at Howard's Grove. We believe the horses for the battery were delivered yesterday. At any rate, we saw a number of artillery horses going in the direction of the Grove. The Washington Artillery require the use of about 150 horses in working their battery, which is of the most effective description.

consideration than the question proposed by Lord Ellenborough was the doctrine with regard to "privateering" enunciated by Lord Derby. The argument of Lord Derby seems to be that the North, by declaring a blockade of the Southern ports, claims from neutral nations the respect due to its rights as a belligerent power; and therefore that, whatever the North may choose to do with the citizens of the Southern States captured on board the privateers fitted out under letters of marque from Mr. Jefferson Davis, the North has no right to treat the belligerent rights of the South as a nullity with regard to the subjects of countries from whom it claims respect for its own belligerent rights. The result would be that the North, by declaring a blockade of the Southern ports, has bound itself not to execute as pirates the subjects of neutral States serving on board such privateers. The argument is one of great subtlety and refinement, and seemed to receive confirmation from the arguments of su

towards the United States than had been previously reported by telegraph. Our correspondence by the America, published this morning, still further developed the offensive policy of the English Government. The Lord Chancellor, who is the authoritative exponent of the Palmerston Ministry in the Upper House, had not only repudiated the maritime code adopted by the Treaty of Paris, but had gone so far as to pronounce that the United States has no right to punish British privateers in Jefferson Davis' service as pirates! He added that the war of the Confederated States against the North was a just one, and their rights as belligerents was "admitted." His words are: "No one--i. e., no English subject — ought to be regarded as a pirate for acting under a commission from a State admitted to be entitled to the exercise of belligerent rights, and carry on what might be called a justum bellum. Anybody dealing with a man under those circumstances as a pirate, and putting him to death, wou

yland Legire. Frederick,June 3.--House.--The House of Delegates reassembled here to-day, pursuant to adjournment, and was organized at 2 o'clock, a quorum being present. Dr. G. W. Goldsborough, on behalf of the committee appointed to present to President Lincoln the report of the committee on Federal Relations, submitted the following report; The undersigned, a portion of the committee appointed by the Legislature to present and enforce its resolutions to Presidents Lincoln and Davis, beg leave to report-- That the manifest purpose of these resolutions were, in the opinion of your committee, to secure, if possible, through the instrumentality of Maryland, peace to our distracted country, and if failing in that, then a cessation of hostilities on the part of the armies of the Federal and Confederate troops until Congress should express its opinion on the subject. These purposes being defeated by the movements of Federal troops on Virginia, and an active commence

— getting up funds, buying materials, and making up clothing for our soldiers; practicing loading and shooting guns and pistols. They say every man and boy may go to the tented field that are able to bear arms and fight our battles; that they can, with the old men and little boys, manage our negroes, and make cotton and raise provisions to feed and cloth our soldiers while they fight our battles and gain our independence, (and they will do it should the crisis require it.) That fanatical despot and his minions may threaten and attempt to conquer and subjugate us. If he had twenty times his numbers he could not do it. We expect to hear shortly some stirring news from your section, as our noble statesman and warrior, President Davis, is now in your city. We know him well in Mississippi, and all consider him the man for the occasion, and have the utmost confidence he will guide us through this our struggle for liberty and independence successfully, and with honor and glory.

National Motte — a suggestion. In the eloquent response of His Excellency President Davis, to the serenade at the Spotswood House on Saturday evening last, he quoted, as peculiarly applicable to the Confederate States, in view of the distinctive principles of State sovereignty upon which our Government is based, the familiar line--"Distinct as the billows, yet one, as the sea." It has been suggested, and we think with much appropriateness, that the ordinary Latin version of this sentence, viz: "Quam fluctus diversi, quam mare conjuncti," would form the very best national motto that we could select. We take the liberty of calling the attention of those with whom it may rest to decide thereupon to the suggestion.
Dayton (search for this): article 12
Power the questions which are the causes of the present troubles; but the amicable mediation of France might have the effect of inducing a suspension of hostilities, and enable the North and South to settle their differences without the effusion of fraternal blood. The Emperor said he feared it might now be too late, and that civil strife had gone too far to be stopped by an appeal to the dictates of reason; but, if he could be the means of averting the horrors of a war between American brothers, he would esteem it a high privilege to offer the friendly counsels of France. You may rely upon these important details as perfectly correct. Mr. Dayton has arrived in Paris, and will probably have an audience of the Emperor next Sunday. If our new Minister, whose position becomes most responsible, should express views similar to those of his predecessor — and the Emperor will doubtless ask his opinions on the same points — an immediate offer of French mediation may be anticipated

agreement of Paris as not effectuating a change in international law, excepting as regards those Powers which signified their acceptance of it," thus ignoring the last clause of the Paris treaty, by which those who "might hereafter" accept it were placed on a par with those who had done so. If those Peers who adhere to the Palmerston Ministry were thus explicit in their quasi hostility to the United States, the Lords of the opposition were still more so. "I apprehend, " said the Earl of Derby, "that if there is one thing clearer than another, it is that, by the law of nations, privateering is not piracy — that no enactment on the part of any one nation can make that piracy as regards the subject of another country, which is not piracy by the law of nations, or by the law of that country. The Northern States, therefore, must not be allowed to entertain that opinion." "It is very important," he added, "that her Majesty's Government should not commit themselves to the doctrine that
