Nevada. Mason and Slidell in England. The following is an article from the London Times, of January 11th: . A turn of the wheel, which the American Cabinet has managed to make as sudden as possibile, brings us a new question. The four American geutiemen who bave got us into our late trouble and cost us probably a million apiece, will soon be in one of our ports, * ‘ * * * = * How, then, are we to receive these illustrious visitors. Of course they will be stared at, and followed and photographed, and made the subject of paragraphs. There is no help for that. Mr. Thomas Sayers can not walk the street with a friend, or ask the Mayor for permission to put up a booth io a market place, but the crowd immediately conclude the rough, hard-vieaged, illfavored pair to be the Confederate Commissioners, Messrs. Mason and Slidell, with their two secretaries, though not so handsome and graceful as their countryman Blondin, would certainly fill the Crystal Palace, if they proposed to address the visitors there on the merits of their cause. But for the benefit of the discriminating—for the guidance of the minority that prefers at least a respectable idol, and that does not wish to throw away its confidence and applause, we may as well observe that Messrs. Mason and Slidell are about the most worthless booty it would be possible to extract from the jaws of the American lion. They have long been known as the blind and babitual haters and revilers of this country, They have done more than any other men to get up the insane prejudice against England which disgraces the morality and disorders the policy of the UnionThe hatred of this country bas been their stock in trade. On this they have earned their political livelihood and won their position, just as there are otbers who pander to the lowest passions of humanity. A dilligent use of this bad capiial has made them what they are, and raised them to the rank of Commissioners.® It is through their life-long hatred and abuse of England that they come here in their present conspicuous capacity. The nation under whose flag they sought a safe passage across the Atlantte—the nation that bas now rescued them with all her might from the certainty of a dungeon and the chances of a retaliatory murder, is that agaiost which they have always done their best to exasperate their countrymen, Had they perished in the cell or on the scaffold, amid the triumphant yells of the multitude, memory would have suggested that their own bitter tirades bad raised the storm, and that their death was only the nataral and logical conclusion of their own calumnies and sopbistries. . Tue ALLIes IN Mexico,—It is not improbable that England, France and Spain will be farther from each others friendship than they are at present before the Mexican question be settled. The London Herald (Derby’s organ) of Jan. 17th, says: If it had not been for the difficulty with North America a British force wou!d ere this have been in company with the Spanish equadron in the waters of Vera Cruz, At present we hear only of the Spaniards, and to their fleet and army bas fallen the credit of the only success which is likely to be gained by the intervening powers in Mexico, Vera Craz has fallen into their hands; the Mexican commander has retired before them without an attempt to save the place, and the fortress of San Juan de Ulloa has hoisted once more the flag of Spain. We are at @ loss to conceive what the Spanish commander intends to do next, or what the French and English are to do when they have joined bim. Itis clear that the intervention cannot be intended for the tole advantage of Spain. If the Spanish General, who in hie proclamation, epeaks 80 magniloquently of bis mission to avenge the wrong of his countrymen, entertains any idea of this sort, or harbors the notion of renegner ee the country for his mistress, we think it well that be should be set right as speedily as possible. We think ita most unfortunate thing that our Government should have given its . sanction and co-operation to a wild crusade which seems likely to have for its chief re. sult the furtherance of schemes of eggres. sion and conquest. We ehall gain little credit; we may expect lese profit from this ill-advised Mexicau intervention, We trast that it may soon be over, Man or Funcrions.—The Knoxville Register says: “Parson Brownlow has preached at every church and schoolhouse, made stump speeches at every croxs-road knows every man, woman and child, their fathers and grandfathers before them, in East Tennessee. Asa Mcthodist circuit preacher, a political stump epeaker, a temperance orator and the editor of a newspaper, he bas been equally succeseful in our division of the State. NUMBER 586. Foreign Intervention. A favorite falsheod of the British newspaper writers isto assert that France is urging England to break the blockade, Not a line or @ word in support of this theory is to be found in any French paper; and there is, in fact, no reasonable ground for supposing that the sagacious sovereign of France is really pursuing so unwise a course. The silk manufacturers of Lyons are distressed, itis true, by the falling off in the demand for French silk at the North. But it is hardly the right way to remedy this machance to go to war with us about it, In illustration of the real sentimeni of France, we beg torefer to the following article from a late number of the Paris Charivari--a paper which, though profess. edly humorous, always contains a serious political article in every number, and which is probably the most popular and astute journal in Paris: The Anglo-American quarre) has been terminated by the surrender of Mason an@ Slidell; peace is seoured, and the British aristocracy, which was bent on war for its own purpose, is going to be somewhat embarraseed by this unexpected turn of fortuve’s wheel. The American democracy has won a sobstantial victory. Ithas prov: ed that politics are not, as the vulgar imag: ine, ® sacred and occult science, which none but the descendants of a long line of nobles can comprehend; but that men in plain coats, without orders or decorations, and in the babit of going down to their offices in an omnibus, can often give lessons, in this respect, to titled and high-born dignitaries, The British Government eagerly seized upon the oo of the Trent affair to go towar. Thispretext has now been remored. It is said that another will be discovered, but this will not prove as is supposed. The war party in England showed its hand too soon, and too plainly, Everybody now perceives that England wanted war for the sake ‘of her own interests, Public opinion in Europe will be unanimous against her if she tries, by some new trick or other, to reopen the quarrel, An Anglo-American war is impossible for some time to come, The Americans, by acknowledging their error, and taking reason for their guide instead of passion, bave secured this result and proved themselves a strong people, Thus freed from apprehensions of foreign interference, the Northern States can pursue undisturbedly their war with the South. The Trent affair has, in fact, placed them ina better position in regard to the war than they occupied previously, for ic has led Congress to adopt a more decided course in regard to the slavery question. This matter of slavery is now directly in issue between the North and the South, and the Governments of Europe are forced to face directly a principle which they bave for many years empbahteally recognized aod proclaimed. Under these circumstances none of them can recognize the slave confederation, and the Government of England is bound hand and foot, Such is the situation of to-day! Destirution iv ReBELDoM.—When Gen. Butler took Biloxi, Miss., opposite Ship Isl. and, he found thatall the men had gone off to the wars, The women were in a state of phrenzy until they learned that not a pin’s value of property would be taken, and that the slightest indignity to the people by the soldiers would be instantly punished. Then they expressed astonishment that the troops were not barbarians, as they had been indusriourly informed, Says a writer from Biloxi to the Boston Journal: The poon appeared to be in a very destitute condition, some wanting shoes, ‘some clothing and others bread. One smart-looking lad said to his mother, in the hearing of the officers, “I don’t care if I do get taken prisoner,”’ to which the other replied, “Nor Leither, for thea I hall be sure to get enough to eat.” A little boy appreached Midshipman Woodward, and with a wishful and beseeching tone, said: “Ob, mister, if u'll ooly bring me one bandfal of coffee, M give you anything—’lasees, sugar or anything.” Ao old man made a similar proporal to Mr. Freeman, who asked him if they were short of anything, to which he made answer, “My God, we are short of ev. erything. “I haven’t tasted coffee or tea these four months.” Ho added, “If you like L'il show you some of the stuff we nse for tea,” and going off be soon retnrned with a buoch of dry berbage— large leaves on the stalk—which grows on the ground and resembles oak leaves. ?
