The paragraphs will give a Clear of the times article As Well of or. The London times oat for non interference. Tho London Timos of the 23d alt., noticing at length a speech delivered by or. Massey m. P., to his constituents in Lancashire takes occasion to come ont strongly tor non interference in Tho american War. Tho times says that according to the Manchester examiner a there were in Tho manufacturing districts of the North of England 27,000 operatives out of employment and 161,000 working Short Timo idea Massey a speech a our Labouring population know that As or. Massey says the cause of their suffering was a a a War in America a which no Man was Ablo to understand which had no beginning and no end which had no cause and would have no effects and which had not been dignified by one glorious action but no Otic has yet called out to Stop this War to break this ineffective blockade to prevent the Wanton demolition of natural harbours which Aro Tho common property of All who navigate this Hurricane infested coast. If America had been tried As to have been tried can it to believed that her population would have remained so patient and so Long suffering if America had been tempted by the appearing of a Patent illegality in Ono of our blockades and had Tiosen offered the assistance of a powerful ally will any Ono believe that the pop Taco of new York and the governors and judges of Boston would Hugo refrained from indignation meetings and riotous assemblages to compel their government if coercion had been no essay to take Evory itself yet so far As we know not a meeting has been hold in Lancashire for pressing our government to interfere and to believe there has been everywhere a Resolution to lot the matter proceed until Tho North had a full and fair Opportunity of regaining her Empire Over the South. Either however this resolve is now giving Way or there Isa conviction spreading that sufficient time has been afforded. Or. Massey has just Given voice to this feeling now so widely spread among our of the policy of the War speech front Jim Lane. Jim Lane the Border Cut Throat whom Lincoln has a a a general a delivered a speech in Chicago from which we make the fou owing Choice extract it is no Timo for talking now but for action. Iyo have consumed eight months in inactivity have wasted Throe Hundred millions of dollars and sacrificed Twenty five thousand lives and turned this country upside Down in our insane endeavours to put Down this infernal rebellion and save slavery. I Tell you this can to be done an the government has come to that conclusion. Let me Tell you confidentially that on monday last they opened a new Sot of books and Carao to the conclusion that if Tho Union can to be saved and slavery saved then Down goes slavery. The rebels Bavo either got to submit to die or run away. I Tell you Tho time has come when play must Stop. The rebels must submit or to sent Down forthwith to that hell already yawning to receive them. This do Strablo consummation was effected by a Compromise. The Radical Raon agreed that Tho conservative Mon should carry on Tho War according to their notions for eight months provided they were allowed the next eight. Tho time is up for Tho conservatives and they now hand the War and its Pond not Over to the radicals and Evory Wonso Rativo Man should now extend Tho same encouragement and support which we gave to them in the prosecution of their method. The other Day while i was talking with the president old Abe said to me a a Lane How Many Black men do you want to have to take care of your array a i told him As my array would number 34,000,1 proposed to have 34,000 contraband in addition to my teamsters and Wagon masters. I consider every one of my soldiers engaged in this glorious crusade of Freedom a a Knight errant and entitled to his Squire to prepare his food Black his boots Load Bis gun and take off his Drudgery. If. L. Mitchell r of the so Tate Jan. Is Erat Ivos. When he addressed his constituents non Points of Public policy to was met by frequent interruptions and hostile cries hut when lie asked a a whether this inefficient and Papor blockade was to be eternally respected a he United All his audience and his question was answered by vociferous cheering which no other portion of his speech had elicited. Our government desiring rather to err on Tho Side of what was right and just than to Havo any imputation brought against them had hitherto resisted the import unities of prance. But How much longer was that to lost was this in officiant and paper blockade to he eternally respected ? no no. Were to to submit to be starved ? no were to to expect our great neighbor Franco to submit to to starved ? no. Were to in this year 1862, for the Sako of favouring a ferocious and frantic civil War to allow the great ports of Commerce to to closed All Tho operations of Trade to to suspended credit to to deranged Uno fending persons to to subjected to unparalleled privations and Many of our poorer countrymen to to absolutely reduced to penury and starvation ? no no three cheers for or. Massey these cheers at Salford which is As democratic a Borough As any in England and where the Phito american party of other Days mustered Strong Tell pretty clearly what is going on among our masses. To can hear Tho whistling of Tho rising wind. If this War is to last to shall soon Havo an agitation both out of doors and in Tho House of commons and pressure put upon the government for a direct interference to break Tho blockade. To would lament any such agitation and lament its Success. England has behaved with such disinterested patience and with such impartial neutrality in this great matter that it would be neither right nor Poi Tio in her to throw away in a moment the character Sho has deserved at such self sacrifice. Let Franco interfere if she pleases. Franco interfered once be fore to give Independence to the United Stales and Sho is Welcome to do the same Good Sonvico to Tho confederates. Our True policy �8 to suffer a Little longer and let the event work itself out. It will not to Long. It May indeed be doubtful whether oar interference would not rather retard than hasten Tho desired event of opened ports and a Large Supply of Cotton. Lot it never be said by the next generation of Anglo Saxon americans that they Wero Oneo United in a powerful nation but that England urged Only by a Malovoz Lent jealously had violently divided them and had taken advantage of what but for her would have been a transitory discord to surrender them Brover. No one Oan Tell what the result of such an interference might to Oither now or car after but Evory Ono can so what must to the certain end of this torpid War of exhaustion if left to itself. Let is then,pur8ao our honest policy of standing Quito aloof our sympathies oar moral influx no our Public opinion our diplomacy arc All free to May bestow them As we Polaso but let us not fire a gun upon that coast. Botter to refuse to see any inefficiency in blockades better even which with docent self respect we Daro endure rather than to Carmed into this i Darrei.

Tho paymaster general of the Northern army estimates Tho anoxia a Costne bands of the Volunteer regiments at over85,000,000, exclusive of the Cost of clothing transportation. From the new York timor on plan of Campaign. An article from Debows review has been recently re published in part in our columns which Soems to us to present More carefully considered opinions with regard to the Southren Campaign than any that has yet appeared. The Reader will remember that Tho article urged strongly a defensive policy on Tho part of the South and the danger of carrying the Campaign into Maryland that Southern victories gained in that state would Only arouse Tho North to now exertions and More desperate efforts while a defeat would to almost fatal with an impassable River in Tho rear. Tho True policy the writer claimed was for Tho Confederate army if forced from their Strong position at Manassas to slowly Retreat through the Nouth thus collecting All their supplies from a Friendly country Whilo Tho enemy Woi ild to forced to preserve very Long and difficult Linos of communication with the North thus weakening their torsos and rendering them liable to in beaten in detail or to be weak nod from want of supplies. The reviewer urged very shrewdly that defeat alone would never break Down the North but that a Long practice and extensive Campaign might effect this with armies gradually dwindling from want of food or sickness. Our Campaign was compared to that of Napoleon entering Russia and like disaster and sufferings were predicted to Tho invaders. European writers and reviewers regarding our immense expanse of surface have frequently the same comparison. To it Ero would be no doubt much truth in those views if we wore penetrating the vast Region of the South with two or three columns All marching in one direction and All having Long and parallel lines of communication. But this evidently is not the plan of Tho Campaign. Neither is there behind Tho rebel armies a vast and Safe Magazino of resources such As the great Plains of Interior Russia supplied to nor armies. If Napoleon had been Able to Pone Trato Russia some three or four sides at onco cutting off lines of communication occupying Tho most Fertile districts and thus breaking the Empire in two Tho costs would have been More nearly parallel. If general Mcclellan by skillful strategic combinations should to Able to Force Beauregard from his entrenchments the latter must Retreat probably through North Carolina. His supplies could not to to any Groat extent from that state but must to obtained from Tennessee and Georgia. But these links Aro becoming daily More Uncertain. If general Buellis and Halleck s combinations should lie successful their forces would speedily control the Virginia and East Tennessee Railroad and thus break Ono great artery of Supply. Burnside a column on the East Aud Sherman s on the South to May suppose would Cut off Many sources of food and ammunition. Threatening Tho Rebol army in front and rear. Daring this time ten. Halo oks a army of 100,000 Raon would Havo been attempting the perilous task of conquering the Mississippi Valley. With this accomplished to would to prepared from new Orleans As a Baso to March his army through the Gulf states and join the other victorious columns in some control Point in Georgia or South Carolina. This Skotch of our Campaign is of course outlined on the supposition that each column is to to a hypothesis hardly probable. But supposing a disaster in any Ono of Tho flank and rear movements that Halleck for instance is unable to Force the batteries on the Mississippi or that Sherman is detained in his net works of Crooks and Rivera or Burnside is Defeated we still have the two great converging columns of Mcclellan and Buell for it is difficult to believe thief. Oither of those armies can be beaten even if for a time held in Hook and these alone or either one ought to be Able to Sottilo the question and end the War. We Are abundantly aware of the Many difficulties in a Southern campaigns the Miry roads Tho want of provisions Tho occasional severity of the weather and the swamps and torrents which afford such ample Protection for Small bodies of men but All these obstacles with the exception of the last will Tell upon the enemy Quito As much As upon ourselves. For Tho latter and for the guerrilla warfare threatened by the South Tho answer is that Large masses of men advancing by diff Ornt columns Are not much Iraq Edo by such opposition. Modern warfare is not decided by skirmishing but by great movements and the Power of artillery. Besides Koso who know Tho southerners boat believe that Thev Are not fitted Well to sustain a Retreat and from Tho Peculiar nature and origin of this War they think it not impossible that the whole rebellion under disasters Maco laps As rapidly As it was inflated. Taking All these palpable considerations into View to think it not improbable that three months hence May Seo a last the Back of the rebellion broken and possibly a Complete Victory. Of course misfortunes May come. Campaigns Are Uncertain things. Our past experience has been of Little but disasters. We Are prepared for yet others. But whatever happens the Northern people have taken up the sword and with gods help they will never Lay it Down till Law Liberty and government Are established Over Evory Aero of this Broad land. The Battle Field. A writer in a Northern paper thus notices the fort Donelson Battlo Field hardly a Man that wont Over the Field after Tho Battle but discovered some com Rado that had fallen. To lost three lieutenant colonels and at least one Quarter of All Tho other officers were wounded or killed. During saturday night a contraction of simultaneous assault from every Point and orders were Given by Gen. Grant to take the enemy at the Point of Tho Bayonet. Every Mao was at his Post the 57th Luinis of the extreme Wrignt. To have generals Bucknor Johnson Bushrod and fifteen thousand prisoners and Throe thousand horses. Gens. Pillow and Floyd with their brigades ran away on steamers without letting Gen. Buckner know their intentions. General Smith led the Chargo on the lower end of the works and was the first inside of Tho fortifications. The fort Henry runaways were bag god Here. Tho prisoners Are loading on the steamers for Cairo. On loss is heavy a probably 400 killed and 800 wounded. To lost a Large percentage of officers among Thom Are lion. Cols. Irwin of the Illinois 20th White of Tho 81st. And Smith of the 47th. Cole. John a. Logan lawyer and Ransom Are wounded. Major Post of the 8th Illinois with 200 privates Are prisoners and have gone to Nashville having been taken the night before the surrender. A the enemy a a loss is heavy but not so Largo of ours As they fought behind on tronc ments. We should Honvo taken them on saturday by storming if our ammunition had not Given oat in the night. If Beauregard should make his Retreat among Tho mountains apart from the difficulty of transit and support he would be among a comparatively unfriendly population As nearly All the Mountain inhabitants of the South Are notoriously unionists in sentiment. If his Courso by near the Seaboard our lines of communication would be easily with Tho sea indeed it is not probable in any Case that Tho grand army of Tho North would depend upon the lines of land communication for supplies hut would connect directly with our Fleet and transports in Tho Southern ports. Farther More in Case of Tho Success of gon. Buellis forces there would be an array of 120,000 men in Beauregard s rear who might either Cross the mountains into Virginia or if his Retreat were continued beyond Tea state could at onco Maui % is a 11 .__.1a if March into Georgia and support solves on her Rich Grain districts Thern thus succinct and a Culler de a Russ on in business in Mil wacko who had Eft his affairs in the hands of his partner while he should take a Short trip to the East recently telegraphed Back from Detroit the following words to Wili a How is things going a the reply received was a things is workin�?T.�?�. This was satisfactory. But when he returned to Mil Waukee to found that his partner had sold out Tho Stock appropriated Tho proceeds and run away with the in Forturato Many a wife. Things had worked. editor a Down East says to Hood to Boubli top Rosput a marriage and a death As original mutter for his columns hut a thaw broke up the wedding and the doctor Feu sick so the patient recovered. The bargain. How honest 1 number 49. Now says a How inconsiderate Are those who Send abroad for a paper and will not subscribe for Ono at Homo. They do not wish Tho local paper to go Down but times Are hard and they can to afford to Tako two at iea9t not the Ono Thoy can borrow at Home. If they want to publish a Temperance notice or a meeting for the detection of Borjo thieves it so or a Mammoth pumpkin or to Abuso somebody off they run to the nearest editor and Are vested if he does not exclude a Good thing on Simon. The Cincinnati Mazotto relates the following remarkable Case of precocity and Early indication of character anecdote of Simon pennsylvanian now in the army relates to is a traditional anecdote of Tho Secretary of War which is probably As True As the posthumous stories of the juvenile Days of great men Geneall Yare and we therefore put it on record for the Benefit of his future biographer. It was the custom a for times in Pennsylvania for mothers to place an Apple a Silver Dollar and a Biblo before their children As soon As they Wero about to toddle about and with a mothers interest and satisfaction watch them make their Choice. It was considered indicative of their More matured Prodo fictions. In accordance with this custom the Mother of the infantile Simon As soon As he was Able to stand on his pins produced Tho articles and set them before the child hoping in her heart he would select the Bible. But not so Simon. The future Secretary of War took a somewhat deliberate View and with less reverence than King Alfred mounted atop the holy writ pocketed the Dollar and commenced munching the Apple. It is needless to add that no has been at that business Evor since. Men route. Tho Chicago Tribune tells the following Bon. Wade Tho chairman of Tho joint committee to inquire into Tho conduct of the War is reported to be very uneasy and not satisfied with the Progress of Tho War. He Doos not give a hint of what passes in committee but it is easy to Porc Oivo that he a not in a pleasant Tramo of mind. In endeavouring to get president Lincoln to look at our National troubles in a sober manner the other any to became discouraged. Or. Lincoln laughed at him or told a pleasant Story in reply to waders dad Rcd actions so Tho Story goes until the Bio senator Drew up stiffly with a a sir you Are not a mile from Tophet and you Are Riding a Swift locomotive at that 1�?� a indeed a replied or. Lincoln a Well there is Ono Consolation i shall not have to part Long from senatorial friends. You will to along by Tho next what makes the Best soldiers. A Captain in the army in arguing with an infidel officer who was making various objections to the religious influence which was brought to Bear upon the army said a a i am Nota Christian but i will say that the Best men in my company Are Church members and those who Havo a High respect Fot religion. For this reason i would rather that my men should Havo religious Reading above All other kinds for it tends to make them bettor let us hasten then to give All the men such Reading. The fullness of Divino Lovo is full of claims upon our affection and Confidence and obedience. It brings All duty with an Irrel. It makes All is Sistilo form. I sin appear As ungrateful As criminal. It places us so that the Bare idea of refusing any part a of the divine will becomes monstrous As Well As base. Accordingly Paul says a Hope Marketh not Whon a a the Lovo of god is shed abroad in the heart by the holy then it begets the Lovo which is a the fulfilling of the Law a and thus leaves us to on David a Principio a a i shall not to ashamed when i have respect to All thy Washington sprayer. In the summer of 1779, Washington exploring alone one Day the position of the British forces on the Banks of Tho Hudson ventured too far from his own comp and was compelled by a Sadden storm and Tho fatigue of his horse to seek shelter for the night in Tho cottage of a pious american peasant who greatly struck with the language and manner of his guest and listening at the door of his chamber overheard Tho following prayer from the father of his country a a and now almighty father if it is thy holy will that to shall obtain a place and name among the nations of the Earth Grant that we may7 be enabled to show our gratitude for thy goodness by our Endeavor to fear and obey thee ble _ less us with wis Dom in councils Success in Battle and lot All our victories to tempered with humanity. Endow also our Ono Mies with enlightened minds that they become sensible of their injustice and willing to restore our Liberty and peace. Grant the petitions of thy servant for the Sake of him who thou Bast called thy by loved son nevertheless not my will but thine be religious opinions and character of Washington. A patriotic , a resident of Amherst county and who is Only forty years of age has seven sons now in the Confederate service and two others who will enter Tho army during the present month while he himself is making preparations and will in a few weeks go with his boys to uphold the Flag of his country and drive Back Tho invaders from the scrod soil of his native state. This is patriotism for you. Tho father not Only cheerfully and gladly gives up his Nino beloved sons to Tho Canso of Liberty but shoulders his Musket and fights Sido by Side with them. Such patriotic Devotion As this family displays will not go unrewarded hat a grateful people will Ever hold them in affectionate remembrance and Pijut to Thom As models of True unselfish Republican.

The following from the Diario do la Marina Havana of the 16th ult., is translated for is by a Friend. It is from a Naples letter of the 10th Doc Moor to Sanvius burst Forth into a terrible eruption. From the Crater on the Side of Tho City a Short distance from portico an immense column of lava Rose suddenly in the air appearing in Tho distance like a Gigantic Pine planted in the sea which bathes the base of Tho Mountain. Terrific peals of Thunder and fearful lightning rendered the darkness occasioned by Treshow ors of falling cinder doubly awful. At the same instant two mighty streams of burning lava rushed Down Tho Mountain Side one towards Rusino Tho ancient Herculaneum Tho other towards the Torre Del Gricco. The inhabitants of these villages half blinded and suffocated by Tho hot falling cinders wore seen amid Tho flashing lightning flying for their lives Soma carrying pillows in their hands others whatever Thoy could procure to shield them from Tho stones and molten lava which were Fulling upon and crushing them. Although Day it was dark As night except when the Glare from Tho raging Mountain and the vivid lightning illuminated for a moment Tho appalling scene. Here was a husband seeking for his wife Here a wife shrieking for her husband hero a Mother frantic for her children whom Sho Hud lost in the obscurity and confusion. Ail that Day and night the Mountain continued to Roar and belch Forth torrents of ii nid fire and All Felt As if the end of to world had really arrived.
