it i* said, ex|NjHiuluted with the Hritiah
Minister at Iu* <avalier Ireulmeut and ne-
glect ot u gentleman who hud Inro invited

Colton mamilicturing interest* of (jrcul
HriUain, hud Ih*’Ii grunted un audience,
during whicu they protested against mi)
recognition of the Southern ('on lode racy
by that (ioveininent, then or in future.
That then Kuglund was upon the verge ol
geiH-rul bankruptcy, owing to the vast ac-
cumulation ol munufuetured gnml* of every
description, and stored uwuy in every ware-
house utmost in the kingdom, umonntmg
to u supply more than sufficient lor two
yearn’ demand, besides enough of the raw
material on hand to Inst them for ut least
two year* more.
I hut, if the war continued. England
would l*e suved from a general bankruptcy,
and nothing else could save her ; that even
it the South were conquered, slavery abol-
ished, und tlie labor to grow the staple
withdrawn from it entirely, if would be Iwjt-
ter lor England and for its manufacturing
interests. I’he former could vigorously
encourage the growth of thcstsple in her
L i-t India possessions, and the latter could
have 11mo to get off their accumulated
•lock of goods, to manufacture their raw
material then on hand, und to prepare
their machinery for the manufacture iu
future ot the coarser East India staple.
Eki.anokuano tiix Si.ioki.i.M. The I'aris
correspondent ut the Hi raid writes:
I am informed that Mr. Erlunger, who
married Miss Hidcll, is. if not a bankrupt,
at any rate a ruined man, iu reputation us
in lortuuo ; und 1 may mention to you, to
complete the history ol this aristocratic
ulliuuce, that the old Huron Erlunger, his
father, wa* only a clerk in a Frank fort
house some lour yeurs ago, when by a
lucky ebunce, be called on a certain Mr.
Itoedercr, a dealer in ices in the Uoethor
Flats, iu that town. Mr. Itoedercr,ut the
time in question, held a ticket in the
Frankfort lottery, which, owing to a great
number of druwing* having ulreudy taken
place without the chief prixo having been
gained, was ol course ut a considerable
premium. This ticket Mr. Itoedercr ofli rod
to Mr Erlunger in payment of u small debt.
After considerable hesitation it wus ac-
cepted. and turned out to lie winner ol the
urrcut pi i/.o ol ubout one hundred thou*uud
dollars, which sum of course Mr Erlunger
got. With thin money Erlunger bought
up, under unother name, certain good
claims against the house he was clerk iu,
und by pressing them com|N lled the house
to wind up, when he, with his cupitul.
stepped iu between his former employers
und their creditors, und thus secured the
business to himself.
TlIK (’oRfKI)KKATi ARMSTRONG (ilN —
ArvAina at Richmond..- A Vic York, June
1— The Herald's Washington »|H*cial
says : The celebrated Armstrong gun,
which was presented to the Southern
Confederacy by Armstrong and used by
them m the defence ol Fort Fisher, Inis
been brought to the Washington Navy
Yard. It is u magnificent piece ol ordnuncc,
mounted upon u rosewood carriage elabo-
rately made und decorated. It is one of
the instances of Hritish neutrality in our
domeatie difficulties.
The Herald's Richmond correspondent
says : Rusineaa is still dull in t'ds city, and
there is not the slightest pros|>ect of the
reverse for a yeur to come. I he markets
are overstocked with goods of all kinds.1
I he* coming cron will not amount to more
iloin enough to lust the farmers through
the vear.

of oi)H<‘rvutioii ol the eonditiouof the peo
pie und couu'ry in Southwestern Virginia
writes that he finds much poverty, deutitu
tion and suffering. The battle-field.* aod
pathwuys of the arinn.*s constitute one vast
tract of dtaolatiou, and but little ha* Iniuu
done iu thu way of restoration. While
acknowledging the freedom of their
slaves, their late masters, in u convention,
resol veil that it would be better for the
slaves to remaiu with und work for their
ta’.c muster!, until u liettcr arrangement
could be made; that they would not em-
ploy a negro without the content of his
former master ; that ull civil officers lie
requested to take tho amnesty oath, so as
to enable them to resume the function* of
their office, and pledging th<un*clv(*H to em-
ploy ull slaves who will properly demean
them.se' ex. and refuse employment to the
idle, etc.
Lynchburg, though never the scene of
strile, look* shabby enough ; there h more
tobacco iu store there thun in any oilier
city iu tho State; there is much hi the
surrounding country. Among the peoplo
there are some petty manMestations of
spirit left, but us a general ruh the frat* -•
nity is more complete thuu could be ex
pected, The upper classes are moody ami
silent, und the merchants and small farm-
ers seem to think their wbolo course ol
reasoning may have been erroneous. Some
of the more ardent rebels ure ccrtaiu thul
if the North could see the results of the
emancipation policy it would undo it.

The facts and the argument prevailed. The
Hritish Minister was sorry, very sorry,
but Mr. Mason could not lie received, and
the Southern Confederacy must take euro
of itself. A
To the foregoing statemgut the Iutclli-
gen^r mid* those reflect ioRf; i I
Had the delusion then bon removed
from the people's mind nf cottoo licing
king, or of foreign recognition, the war
might have closed two years ago, with less
advantage to (ircut Hrituiu und in ore to
the South ami the I'nited States than nt
this lute bay. But crimination mid recrim-
ination are now outol' place. “ Cotton is
not king," wu* not, and never can lie king.
This, iike some theories to our Uovern-
merit to which the South has given cred
cnee, mid long maintained — such us lire
embraced in tho doctrinrs of State rights
nnd State remedies—*nre henceforth to be
and must be considered hawIcMi political
fabrics. One people, one government,
uniled for the general welfare, at pence, if
it will let us, with ull the world, but united
ugninst it whenever usanilcd And so we
go for a new, and, wc trust, u peaceful
und prosperous future."

I'rkns.— It npfH'tir* to us, then, very plain
thnt the sooner we part in pence and
friendship with our North American colo-
nic* the better for us nnd for them. They
desire independence, and, indeed, virtually
have it already, while all that remains to
u* is the heavy cost and heavy reR|>on*i*
bility of a nominal sovereiguty. This is
the deliberate opinion of I<ord (trey, who
has, in fact, given us the draught of a
preparatory treaty with this object, drawn
up, in our view, with great skill und judg-
ment, and thorough knowl.Nlge of the sub
ject ho deuls with. From tho present
stale of the political relation* of North
America, the question is soon likely to
become a very prominent one, and in such
a ea*e the works ol Viscount llury will be

A Sick Lion.—Old .Esop husu fable of
the sick lion that every ass that passed
that way felt it hi* privilege to kick. This
reminds us of Jeff. Davit' position at the,
present time. Hound and in prison, broken
in health and sick at heart, every petty
whipster tukes In* (ling at him, and
“ Tray. Hluiichc and Sweetheart " howl in
concert. A late New York paper inform*
its readers that "Jeff. Davi* i* universally
execrated at the South." Cun this be po*-!
sible ? That disappointe«i political rivals
mny now try to tear him down to their
own level, is not to Ik* wondered at ; but
that any considerable portion of the [»K)plc

think the safety of their country depends
on their getting such places ami enriching
themselves by s|i«culatioii iu cotton and!
tobacco, are naturally much agrieved, and
will lie among the loudest howlers of the
new radical opposition. Hut the country
is satisfied. Everybody sees that nothing
could tend more to |>er|>ctoute the alienu-
turn of the Southern |K*ople than to semi
a lot of greedy Northerners to rule over
and plunder them. The disappointment
and vexatiou of such tnen is tho chief se-

another colony, mainly composed of Missis

—The following general order was issued
ut Galveston by (Jen. Granger on the
lytb:
The jicople of Texas arc informed that
in accordance with u proclamation from
the Executive of tho United States "all
slaves arc free." This involves an abso
lute equality of persoual rights and right*
of property Ik:tween former musters and
slaves, und the connection heretofore exis-
ting lietwecn them tieeomes that betwetm
employer and hired laborer.
I'ho freoilmen are advised to remain
quietly ut their present homes nnd work
for wages. They are informal that they
will not Ik? allowed to collect at military
posts, that they will not lie supported in
idleness either there or elsewhere.
Tint Grkat Ut krkii.la.—The Lynch
bnrg Republican says : " A brother ol
the rebel guerrilla Moaehy recently ap
pearod at the Provost Marshal's office,
in Lynchburg, and inquired if tbc partisan
chief would be paroled if lie surrendered
himself. To which an uffirnmtivc mis wet
was given. A few days afterward* Moseby
made his appearance, but in tho meantime
orders had been received from Richmond
not to parole him. He Imd oome in under
guard, und the Provost Marshal felt in
honor hound not to tnke advantage of bis
vsition, but ordered him to leave Lynch
mrg. which the soldiers were directed to
see that he did without molestation."
