The London corresponden.t of the New York News, writing under date of March 11th, says : j canot convey to you an idea of the ex tement that prevails in reference to the late -ws from.)Agerica. 'The market reports will show. -ou ow severely EAgland feels the Cone. federaes abandoning their Atlantic seaports. Whea Savannah fell cotton was- more than twenty-four pence per pound, but. on Wednesday la t' fleard of a large trunsaction at fifteen pence r'pound. But what I now particularly direct rtt(entio to is the condition of the English 3nds. Money is pk%titul, business is pfenti'ul, the season is favorable for the farmer,*- the revenue is so floarishing we hve to renit taxes; 'there is peace i'Europe and profound peace at loie D'ring the last eight dafs the Govern ment broker has bought -390,000 worth of Consols and Rxcbequer Bills. Are funds bubvaut a fright be expected under such c'rcumstances ? On the contrary,'tbey are serioasiy depressed. Downthey go; day after day. They began to go d,u.n when the news came of thle fall of Savan, nah, an they hare g6ne down faster ani tasterl at the news of every fresh disaster to the ConfederAtes. 'The 'correspondOnt's explanation of this phe nomenon may be well styled "important if true. We give it for what it may be wortli )Jen #ay that tilere is d'anger of War with the United States. -it why sliould Eng!and expect a war with you.- d why shotld the prospect of marseei rarer as the ntederates lose these towus? No oue suppo: at the S.uth is about togive up the s:r17ggle r a people in that vstremity do not burn their .property and their fowns, but seek the best terms they can from their conquero. Yet, if you will watch the ,o rse of the Etsglish funds and still better if you yill wateh the-tone bf mereantile correspondence, you will _ee the impression is Peep and side *preAd that every Confederate .reverse makes *ar between Enghhd and the United States surer und nearer. Military men are on the qui vive of expectation". - The cadets at Wo3lwich look jor war with America, and speedy- proiotion. A young naval officer said to me, "I hope Richmond will fall." The remark surpised me, as I know the young man to be a warm friend of tie OuPh. LHe added: "If Richmond fa'ls, it will be the signal for us to join the South." But the.bulk of the cominunit shrinks from e war it regamds as inevitable. Yes, inevita we, in gpite of Mr. Seward's friendship and po Jiteness. Why ? It is the secret treaty between" Wapoleon and the Confederate Government which causes,this anxiety. Wheit- Napoleah aids the South openly, as he soonbrill do unless the Con federates are very successful in the $pring can paign, England will be dragged into the conflict.' It will not do to let France be alone in 2uth a business, and whenever Napoleon draws the sword ie must follow iis example. Thus every -* Federal soccess becomes a danger to England, bec'use it may dispose' Napoleon to think the hour is come for bilding up -a nationality be tween the United States and the French empire' in ~America. - This seereL treaty does niot disthrb- your Gov ernent, but it is evidently a bitter pill for Con federate statesmen. Look how they f ought. the question of einancipakion in the Confederate Sen atg I should think loreign dic tation must be as intolerable to an American as it is to an Enzlish man. And- Napoleon will have' this pound of lesh. -I am told that one stipulatiou- in the treaty confers cei-tain privileges an the, French ship ping for ten years after the conclusion, of peace. Another stip'ulationi, as I -understand, gives France a right to-all1 the duties levied .west of t *he Mississipoi unt,il France shall be reinibursed any charges she is put.to in assisting the Confed eracy. It is necessary for me to repeat .what I -told vou last week, that though I kn.ow there is a 1:-eaty, I cannot vouch for details. * To show vou whiat care is taken that this trea ty -shall not transpire, I may mention that all Mr. Slidell's dispatches to his Government are sent in the French bag throngh Mexico. I should' not like you to assume that all t,he details I give about the treaty arelositively autlientic.,I know for certaia is, that a treaty between Napoleon and the Confederate .Government has been ar-. ranged, and was signed on Sunday, March 5. The fourth of March being passed, Napoleon has appointed an Emnbassador eat Washington. Mr. -seward may be very blind to the faults of his im ocrial friend ;but it is imipussibe, I should think for him not to see that the nomination of a new Embassador on the 5th of March shows that Na poleon h::3 done what I told you he would do, in , sist upon regarding the Uited States as a new -fereatics. A'.d whzn docs Napoleon appoint '> Emperor of Nexico.' Wh: this Select'01n IS ola-e, I do not unberstand. Perhaps Napoleon thinks that tire oftener he Flaps your Government In the face, the more'meck aad submissive it w'h become. A. VI*SIT Tf -11ORT 6UMPTER. i-"Carlton" writes to the Boston Journal as follows: "After a ramble for sevetal hours through the city of Charleston, we made a ri*it to Sgmter, entering on the sallyport wbere Ma jor Anderson entered on that ever-to-be-re membered January night of 1861. The. Fort bears little resemblance to its appearance.then, externally or internally. No portion of the original face of the walil is to be seen, except on the side towards Ciarleston and a portion of that facing Moultrie. From the harbor .and from Wagner it appears only a tumuZ-the debris of an old ruin." "All the casemates, arches, pillars, and par apets are torn up, rent asunder and utterly demolished. The great guns which two years ago kept tie monitors at bay, which lnamed and thidered awhile upon Wagner, are dis mounted,. broken, overturned and lie buried benerth the mountain of'brick, dust, concrete, sand and mortar. After Dupont's attack\ in April, 1863, a reinforceinent of palmetto logs was made on the harbor side and against half of the wall facing Youltrie. The iower tier of casements was filled with sand bags, but when General .Gilmore -obtained possession his tire. began to crumble the parppet. The rebels ende'avored to reconstruct the wail,- -or to muaintain its original height by gabions filled with sand, but this compelled a widening in: side. Thousands of bags filled with sand we're brought to the fort at night. Bomb proofs were constructed. Bay after-day, week alter week, the pouGding from, Wagner was maintained .so etectually 'and thoroughly thnt it was impossible to keep, gun in position on that side. STOnE.XAS RAir.-This section cf country was thrown into intene excitement on last Thursday by the reported ad-vance' of- from three to tour thousand of the enemy, under the coimand of 'ens. Stoneinan, Gillam, Brovn and Wilcox. 'T'he force eirered the Stato thrtiugi Watauga county, crossing, the 41ue Ridge,. 4nd the first intelligence of them was at Patterson Factory, i"Valdwell county, about eight miles from Lenoir. They destroy ed the factory and plundered thc citizens of everything they wished. 'From thence they proceeded across to Wiikesber(', which place .they entered about dark FOay, doing no damage to private property, except in ore case that-we haVO,learned, a that was the gutting of Mr. Calvin Cowles' store, besides the taking of all the available stock in their reach. From thence they visited Gwinn's fact-rv in Yadkin county, which was not burned on account of tie intereetion of some-person unlipmwn -to us- a small force afterwards lefi the main column and destroyed Buck Shoal factory, belonging to Lawrence & Gaither, in Yadkin,and also South Troy and the.Eagie Mills factories in the upper portioi of Tredell, and returned the same course they came, taking with them as heretofore all horses and mules.of any value whatever: -- We learn there were a -number of' contra bands went with them. They did h$t come nearer this place than Eagle Mills, abouti 18 or 20 miles distant. T'Ihe ab*ove is about as correct a report con densed, as we are able to give up to Wednes day morning.-1redel.

PsEC !-Why the cuckoos of the press still continue the senseless cry of peace, when there is no'peace, when there can be no pace, when nobody believes them, when they do not believe thermselves, we are at a loss to see. Such a cry can do us no good-will make us feeble-will~bring us misahief. Let oer people look the matter fairly in the face. 'h cry of thie Yahikees is "Vo vicTis"1)elenda est Carthago." They feel that Roine must perish, unless Carthage falls. We are in their hands, or they in ours; and "W~oe to the conquered !" They will to destroy us; and subjugation, dearly beloved brethiren of the weak knee and the India rubber conscience, means confiscation-loss of all-humiliation shame-.-possibly deportation to some Yankee Australia or Botany Bay, with the persuasive application of a boot toe, to help us -on ! .To your camps, not tents, 0 Israel ! fortune oumbia PhoeniX.

White, for rrany years a distin guished Judge in Tennessee, and afterwards a conspicuous member of the Senate cf the United States tells the following: It had been noised about that the Rev James Axley would preach on the morning of tho following Sabbath. The famous divine Was a great favorite ; with none more so than Judge White.-At the nppointed .hour the] Judge, in company with a large congregation, was in attendance. The services were begun by another preach dr, at (ne close of whose address, Mr. Axley arose, and sto~Od sitently surveying the con gregation.-All wure hushed n expectation. Every eye was riveted on him. le then be gan: "My friends, it is a very painful, but a very necessary duty, for a minister of the gospel to reprove vice, Misconduct and sin, wherever found ; and be assured I will not shrink from the duty ot that occasion. And now," co'ntin ved the speaker, pointing with his. finger, "that sandybaired man, sitting yonder by thu door. who got up and went out while the brother was preaching,and stayed out so long; who got iiis boots full of mud- >and came in and stamped the mud off at the door, making such a noise that nobody could hear the preacher-that man tbinks that I mean him. "No wonder that 'he thinks so. It is a dis grace to the Sate that he should have 'grown up here and have no better manners. Now, my friend, I advise you to go home and learn to beh ve yourself before you come again to the haise of prayer. . But I do not mean, him. "And now," again. pointing his flnger to his mark, "that little girl about the middle of the floor-I should judge hir tb bb about six teen years old, with flowers inside of her boi net; she that was giggling and chattering all the time the brother was preaching- she thinks that I mean her. "And she ought to thi'nk so. I am sorry for any parents that brought,up a girl to her age without teaching her to nehave modestly and properly ; they A'e to be pitiel.' Little girl you have disgraced your parents as well as youTself. "And now, then, that man on the beSch in the corner, who is looking up as bright as if he had never been asleep in his life, and never expected to >e, bot was nodding, bowing. and snuring all through the sermon-that man thihks [ mean him. 6And, indeeo, he may well think so. My friend, the house of God is not intended for a place of sleeping.' When you want to take ..a nap, go home and go - to bed; there is the Oace to sleep, not in church. But I do not mean him." v And thus he went on fixing iis <dark eve on each offender, till he bad pointed out near ly every man, woman and-ch'ild, who had. in any respect deviated from strict propriety, endirg each reproof with, 'f[ do not mean him," or "I ao not mean her." Judge White, sitting on the fgont bench, just in face with the preacher, was all the time enjoying the fun wonderfully. He laughed, rubbed his hands, and chewed his tobacco with the greatest vigor. As each new offend er was brought up he cheVed more and more* Iviolently,,till the'nloQr bifore him became a puddle. "Now,"! said the preach.er. "I suppose you want to know whom I do mean. I mean' that filthy tobacco chewer, sitting on the end of the front s'eat. Look. at these pudd,les on the floor ! A toad would be poisoned in them; and think of the sisters' dresses being dragged through such pollution. IJud e White's laugh~lter was checked as ~suddenly as if a thunderbolt had fallen. .Eve rv' eye in the congregation was instantly fast e'ned on him, lie has averred that he never afterwards daz'red.to chew,tobacco in churplk. IThe following anecdote of the Iron Duke is recommended to th.e Secretaries for War and for thesNavy who have fspent enormous sums in fruitless experimpnt with new inventions. A man camne to the Duke. "~What have vou to cffer ?" saisi the Dukle. "A hiullet-proof jacket, your grace"--"Put it on." The in ventor obeyed. The Duke rang a hell. An aid-de-camp presented -hi mnself. "Teil - the captain of the guard to order one of his men to load with bail car tridlge.". The inventor disappeared, and was never seen asgain near the Horse Guards. No money was wasted in trying that invention. -A little boy disputing with his sister. on some subject exclaimed, "It's true, for ma says so;: and if ma says so, it is so, if it aint so." This childish faiith is very beautiful W were reading not.iong since, where a Sunday school teacher ask.ed hi.s scholaris if they ever knew a person who was aina sight. One little fellow raised his Landl ar riid "I The Mormons on Disunion. The Iformons recently had a coference of, all the Elders, Bishops, Apostles, &c., at Salt Lake City, i n the co,use of which, Orson Hyde made a speech to prove that the split in the Democratic party, at Charleston, was part of the fulfillment of a certain prophecy of Joseph, Smith about the dissolution of the Union, and that the -Utah War was the fatal rock on which they,split. The revelation referred to is as fo'llows: A Rcrelation and Prophecy by the Prophet, Seer und Rcrelator, Joseph Smith, given D6 eember 25, 1632: "Verily thus saith the Lord, cAfcerning the wars that will shortly come to pass, beginning at the rebellion in South Carolina, which will eventually terminate in the -death of many souls. , The days will come that wars will be poured out npon 11 rations, beginning 4t'thar place; for behold e" Southern States shall be divided against the Northern States, and the Southern States will call upon'other na tions.even the nation of Creat Britain, as it is called, and thev,shall also call upon other nations; and thus war shall he poured out upon all nations. And it shall gome to pass after many days, slaves shall rise up against their masters, who shall be marshaled and dis ciplined for war. -And.it shall c6me to pass, also, that the remnantewbo are left of the land will marshalthemselvesani sball become ex ceedlingly angry, and shall vex the gentiles with a sore vexation ; and thus, with the sword, and by bloodshed, the inhabitants of the earth shall mourn ; and with famin , and plague, and earthquake, and the thunder of Heaven., and tAc fierce and vivid lightning, al so, shall the inhabitants of the-carth be mado to feel.the wrath and indignation, and chasten ing hand of an'Almighty God, until the con sumption decreed, hath made a full end of all nations; that the cry of the Saints, shall cease to. coine up into the ears of tie Lord of Sab baotir, from the earth to be avenged of their enemies. Wherefore, stand ye in-holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come; for behold, it cometh quickly saith the Lord. Amen." - - -In the revolution of '76, our armies and*our . people suffered far more than we' have done. Our citizens then were almost all in.the bands of the British, and we were entirely cut qff from all supplies from abroad, while our facili ties for produging them were infinitely less than they now are. Greene tells us that the battle of Eutaw was won by men who bad Scarcely shoes to their feet or shirts to their backs. They protected their.shouliders from being gal led by the bands of.theircross belts,by punches of moss~ dr tufts of grass. A detabmdnt march ing to Greens's assistance, passed through a. region so ?%wvpt by both armiesthat they were compelled to subsist on greeh peaches as their only diet. There was scarcely any salt for fif teen months, and when obtained it had to be uged sparingly, mixed with hickory ashes. We need but allude to the terrible winter wiich Washingtbn .passed at Valley Forge with at army unpaid,half-starved,balf naked and shoe less,o convince us that much as our own brava s9ldiers are now enduring, their fathers, for a like cause, endured far more. Washington did' not the:n despair. Lee does not now despair of the fnlu triumph nf.a righteous cause. Why should we be doubtful-much less despondent -of our ultimate success ?-Ad,dress of Con gre:ss. - A short time since, Mr. Connolly,, sub an rolling officer for Franklin county, Ga., arrest ed a dec.serter, and put ,him in jail-but re leased him upon his pledge to return at q given time, and his leaving in pledge bis.horse and pistol. Last week, a hand of some forty deserters suddenly surrou~nded the Enrolling Officer, took him away with them, and were about to hang him, and it is supposed, would have hanged linm, had he not consented to give bornd for :the safe return of the deserter's horse and pistol, held by him in pledge. TRADE 1N CHARLEsToN.-We are told that the flamingreports of a great resumption of trad e and business generally in Charleston are wholly false. 'The activity prevaihi only among the m'ilitarg and the dances at negro -lalls. Cuffee and Sambo, at these, figures, no doubt, to his-own satisfaction ; and the Yankee offi-i ~cers are probably as active in twirling the light laantastic toe, in d!elighted juxtaposition with Dinah and Sukey, rendering necessary unusual supplies of sal eolatile and gau de Cologne. -_____ IMPoRA NT Sa '-X'ng soldier was - arre,ted here yesterdsy on suspidion of being a female, and she admitted that she was.
