Susquehanna and the Ohio, today with a fresh current of thought and feeling; a new arterial system of hope and action has been put into them. One of the great triumphs of their young career is that they have slain the mother that fostered and bore them; which had, however, become a stepmother and tyrannized them to death. There is no one in Congress, there is not in Senate, in House of Representatives, in pulpit, or stump, or in the forum, a man who has a word to say in this year of grace, 1862, against a war on the press compared, with which there has been nothing known even in the days of Andrew Marvel. The almost the boldest journals venture upon is to give warning to their agents to flee from some doubtful wrath to come. And the American people are very glad of it; leastways, they don't appear at all dissatisfied. Here are billiard-table keepers and whiskey-drinkers getting up public meetings, and all sorts of interests moving against taxation, but not a man cries out "murder

rom the ide and the shipowner are by no means happy in their mines. In the forthcoming encounter, one of the opponents of the Merrimac intends to try large shells upon her. The Navy Department has given orders for the manufacture of a number of flat-headed bolts, on Whitworth's plan, to pierce the iron plates, if possible. In reference to this matter. I may observe that an erroneous impression, for which I am in some degree responsible, appears to have been created in Europe that Capt., Dahlgren is of opinion that shell could be used with effect against armored ships. His theory is that iron shot of a low velocity will prove most destructive, and serve the problem of meeting such antagonists, when guns have been constructed of adequate calibres. The Government of the United States is quite alive to the importance of this question, and their officers are not at all likely to treat it unskillfully or inefficiently. Even Congress begins to push forward the work, and readily votes m

The Rinaldo is still lying off Old Point Comfort, and two French vessels, one the Colinat, have hurried up to enjoy the spectacle of a renewed encounter between the knights in armor. The Raser is off Charleston, whence comes the rumor of another arrival of arms and munitions, in a steamer which ran the blockade.

But it is hoped that, as soon as the river falls, the Federal troops will be able to advance, and thus clear the river; and the news of a successful attack on New Orleans is confidently expected, after which the Unionists consider the Mississippi virtually in their hands, not with standing the fortifications above Memphis, and the immense levies at Corinth and other places near its shore — New Orleans, however, may prove as formidable as Island No.10.

Another letter from Russell. [Special Correspondence of the London Times.] Baltimore, March 31. Mr. Russell Thinks of going to the scene of operations. The expeditionary force is nearly all embarked and concentrated at Fortress Monroe, or on the mainland between the James and York rivers. Before this letter leaves Boston, it is probable that I shall have reached the scene of operations, embarking either here or at Alexandria or Washington, as the case may be, with my companions.

At last it began to tear cut its own feathers. Here is Mr. Stanton--the man of an hour, the lawyer of yesterday; the hippodromes, the press-tamer of to-day!--How he has grown, almost in a moment, into life and power ! So did Denton, so did Ponche, so did Robespierre. But, remember, they had no such cause as "the Union." If they thought they had, they were no doubt wrong. If any one desires to read the finest, purest, most bright flown works they were ever utt
