It will he remembered thai the L Vitrei, having
on hoard the.dispatch witli wlrich Mi\ Crawford,
llei Majesty's Consul?General in JIavanna,
was charged, was peremptorily refused admission
into the port of Charleston by Iho eom.inandor
of the Federal Blockading Squadron.
She thereupon returned to Bermuda, and reported
her failure to the Admiral of the station,
who immediately transmitted the dispatches to
Lord Lyons. The latter made a formal request
for permission to forward them through the
lines, which was refused ; and Lord Lyons was
moreover informed by Air. Seward tliat "it
would not be agrcablo to the Government of
the United States" for IJer Majesty's Government
"to bold any inteieour.se whatever" with
the Confederates. After this vobulf, which

So little, however, did the Fqrejgn Secretary
nntieipnto\sueh a result, that, ;e> late as the *Jd
of April, additional instructions were sent out
to Mr. Crawford relative to his mission to Richmond.

discovery that the "Mallory Report" was a forgery.

(>110 of the most heroic acts of bravery connected
with the history of the bombardment of
Fort Sumter occurred on the 20th tilt. The
second shell fired by the er.omy on that day,
aihalfpastonep. pl., carried away the flag
stall'; but before the Hag had touched the
ground, it was seized by Lieut. O. II. Claiborne;
wlio liisbcil with it to the parapet, through the
smoke of the bursting shell, and, before the
enemy could discover tin /effect of their shot,
its delimit cross was again llauiiting; in the air.
"i he bra\o Lieutenant was immediately followed
to tin; nnrauuL bv Messrs. X. F. I"V.v:i
ream; and 15. Krnnnon, of the Engineer Department,
who, during the considerable- space
of time occupied in readjusting the stnlf, nHorded
a most conspicuous target. Too cowardly
to appreciate, and too mean to honor a gallant
act in a foe, the Yankees at once poured into
the gallant trio, a close and rapid fire; bu-t
. they coolly finished their work, saluted the
enemy with a cheer and a wave of their hats,
and left their perilous post, without haste, and
thank (Hod ! without scAith..?Mercury.
. Ottawa Indians Captured.?The Yankees
have drawn upon all the nationalities of the
world for soldiers to fight their battles. We
have captured from their armies, not only the
genuine Yankee, hut the unadulterated African,
the- Englishman, the Frenchman, the
Scotchman, the Irishman, the Dutchman, the
Italian, the Swiss,"and these in no small numbers,
as all who have seen or conversed with
the prisoners can testify to. ' And wo have

On Saturday morning a hatch of sixteen of
these warriors of the for rest, belonging to a
Michigan regiment, were captured while making
a charge upon our lines. They belong to
the < Hlawa Tribe, and are real gingerbread
chaps. Their long, straight black hair, their
dusky countenance and stalwart forms, attracted
no little attention from our citizens. They

In the meantime a proclamation from the
Emperor Ivad been issue'd, beginning, "Mexicans!
you have desired to have me," and expressing
his intention to devote bis* whole
strength and heart to their welfare.
Afier a private conversation with i'Almonte,
the Emperor received t'lie principal (functionaries.

Encouraging rno.m tiiFront.?A corrcspoudent
of the Atlanta Appeal, frg a Johnston's
army, says :
All looks well hero. "Old Chickahominy"
has mesmerized his whole command into the
faith of little children in the wisdom" of all his
plans and purposes. No question arc asked.
"W hatever is, is right." A soldier, with the
tint of t he Crenelles all over his face, his hands
and his garments, said to me this-,, morn inn- :

is a compound substantive, compounded ol
"day," pud the absoluto adjoctivo' "yester " signifying.
"last past." Yesterday, ilien, is exactly equalto
"the day last past." Not having any books of tefcrence
at baud we do not J>ke to fcpiak pos lively of
tho derivation- of yester, but "wo believe it comes from
the Greek "husk-res." Jit the phrase "John eame
yesterday," yesterday is in tho objective ease, ami
governed by tho proposition "on"' nnderstood, according
to lbt> familinr rule, "nouns sign hying which way,
how far, ltpw long.-timo when &c., are put iti the objective,
a proposition bfciug understood." In thephrase
"John came day before yesterday," yesterday
isgovoincd by the proposition "before" expressed.
Tiio syntax of tho word ' yesterday" is tho sanio in
thiso two soutences, tho only diflbrenco boing that tho
governing word is oxprossed in tho latter, and not in
in tho former. "On yesterday" is, therefore,' not only
not imgrammalicAl, but tiio "on" is essential to tho
logical analysis. Whether the on should bo ox pressed
or,not is a quostion of taste : our own opiuion is that
it. should be loft to bo understood, in accordance with
the rulo that nil words, which can bo supplied from the'
context, should lie omitted.
And now lor "to-morrow." Is "To-morrow" a compound
adverb, compounded of the preposition "to" nnd
tho substnntivo "niorrdw," or is it a corruption of "tho
morrow?" 11"it is the former, "on to-morrow" is certainly
nn ungramniatioal cxpro3:iion ; but not a shadow
ot nrgucmont can bo offered in support of tho
proposition. "Tho morrow," on the other hand, ?3 a
familiar phrase. We linvo not spneo to discuss tho
etymology at length, nor do wo consider it necessary!
to tho phMoligist the proposition will seom axiomaticAnd
if "to-morrow" is a substnntivo, tho panic reason- *
ing will apply to it as to "yesterday." ^\ro add, l>y
way of illustration, llirci/ sentences exhibiting "To- j
iftorrow" in all the eases. "To-morrow is St. Ciispius'' <
day." llo A ill not live to seo to-rndrrow's sun. I I
will mnko it to-day, if I can, but doubt whether 1 can i
comploto it before to-morrow. And in nil theso "tho''
can bo subd'litulod' for "to" without making tho
slightest alteration in either the sense or tho gram- '
nialical couatruction. I
