THE ANGLO-R’ BEL PRIVATEERS. ‘Wo publish this morning tho full text of the last com munications that have passed between the British Foreign Secretary and our Minister in London on the subject of the ravages of the Anglo-rebel pirates Alabama and Shenandoah. The manner in which the correspondence has been brought to light gives it ad- ditional synificance, Instead of its being laid before Parliament in the ordinary course, a special supplement of the official London Gazette has been issued for the purpose of laying it before the British public. Earl Rossel, in his manifesto, has raked together all the precedents, old and new, which would secm to justify the action of the British government. Mr. Adams meets him “with his own weapons, and in several instances shows that the precedents quoted, in- stead of favoring the view taken by the British govern- ment, tell the other way. Earl Russell acknowledges that the recognition of the belligerency of the South wes unprecedented. Mr. Adams charges, in addition, that it was precipitate, and shows by the Foreign Secretary's own words that at the timo he acknowledged the South as belligerents at séa ho bad no oficial information that a blockade had been established, but only 9 state- meat of the probable intentions of the United States government, Our Minister puts it that the blockade might porribly never lave been instituted bad not England's precipitancy in conceding belligerent rights to the South left them no other alter- native. The consequences likely to result from the conduct of the British government towards ua, if re paration is denied and a precedent ostablished, are forcibly stated by Mr. ACams. A new era, he says, in the relations of neutrals to belligerents on the high seas will open, Neutral ports, in that event, will before Jong become the true centres from which the most ef. foot.ve and dangerous enterprises against the commerce of belligerents may be contrived, fitted out and exec ited. Now Floridas, Alabamas and Shenandoahs will appear on overy sea, And he adds, significantly :—“I need not remind you which of the nations of the world presents ‘on every sea around the globe the most tempting prizes, in an event no friend wowld more deplore than myself, of its being again, as it has go often been hereiofors, doomed to be afflicted by the calamities of a war."” MISCELLANEOUS. ‘The Georgia State Convention assembled at Milledgo rifle and organized yesterday. Provisional Governor Johnson called the members to order ant made a few remarks, Mr. Herschell “V. Johnson, who was cindidate for Vice President on the tcket with Stephen A. Douglass, in 1/60, was chosen President. Subsequently a message wag received from Governor Johnson, in which he depicted the perfectly ex hausted condition of the State finances and announced the entire State debt at over twenty millions, That portion of the indebtedness contracted before the war, he anid, was honorable, and must be discharge!, but that incurred to ald the rebellion must be ignored. “The rebel currency and the rebel cause,’ ho remarks, “flourished together in Life, and mast be buried together in one gruve.”* From Rio Janeiro, by the arrival of the bark Travoi'er, our dates are (o the 15th of September. The Brazilians wore in ecstaci-s over their recent ¥ ctories, and the city was illuminated several nights in succeasion. Tho news of the utter rout of the Paraguayan army was confirmed, and the allics at last accounts were following up their suc coases by an invasion of the Paraguayan country. Ro sistance «as expected, as the retreating forces wore for tifying, The advices of the steamship New York, which tot Panama on the 17th inst., reached this city last evening. ‘The news fom the Pacific bad been anticipated, how- over, by the a rival of the United States gunboat Florida, which brought our special accounts, published ia the Hearn of the 20th inst, A auflicient refutation of the latest imperial hoax to the effect that Presden’ Juarez, of Mexico, bad aban domed his cause and deserted his country, contained in the proclamation of Maximilian, publiehed in Tuesuay's Henao, is furnished by the fact that positive intolli- gence of Juarez being still at Ki Paso on the 26th of Jast month bas been received in Washington Tho steamship Teutonia, Captain Haack, from Ham- ‘burg on (he Tih inst,, arrived here yesterday. Hor for. eign advices have been anticipated, She brought eoven hundred and fifty-three passengers. Tho steamships Nevada, Captain Carpenter, aud Gene. rat Sedewick, Captain Starkey, arrived in this port yes. terday from Savannah, but brought no news of special intereat ‘Thore arrived here yesterday from foreign and domes ie ports ninety-three veesels of all classes, of which three were steamships, four ships, seven barks, eighteen brivs, Afty-oine schooners and two sloops. Sixtoen ocean steamships cleared at this port yester day. Twoof them were for Europe, two for New Or loans, two for Savannah, one for Charleston, and the others for various Southern and Eastern porta. The steamship Morro Castle, Captain Adams, will sail to day, at three P. M. precisely, for Havana, from pier No. 4 North river, The last run of this fine steamer to Havana was made in four days and five bours—the shortest ever mage. The mails will close at the Post OMfioe at half-past one P.M. ‘The schooner Charies B, Lawrence, Captain Thomas R. Stammard, laden with coal, from Elizabethport, N.

The captein, mate and threo men and one passenger were lost. “ ‘The members of the Wirz court martial have made up ‘their findings'and verdict, submitted them to Prosident Johnson and adjourned; but the President has not yet noted on the matter.

Nineteen thousand Indians are now being suvsisted by the goverment in this superintendency The delegates to tho Alabama Convention have memo- rialized the President to order a speedy trial of Clement C. Clay, of their State, who was one of the reputed rebel agents in Canada during the war, and who was suspected of implication in tho plot which reaulted in the assassina- tion of President Lincola, Our Washington despatches Say it is probable the prayers of the memorialiats will be granted. Interna! Revenue Commiasioner Orton: yesterday re- signed his position, Mr E A. Rollins, the Deputy Commissioner, is expected to be the successor. ‘The convention of internal rovenue assessors was again in session in Albany yesterday, and the reports of the various committees appointed on the previous day to take into consideration the several branches of the tax business were presented and read. Their reading cou- sumed the greater part of the day and revealed some curious facta. It appeared that completely variant do- cisions had been rendered by the Internat Reven:e Bureau on the same subject at diferent times and to officers in different parts of the country. It was also shown that stamps of different value wore required for tho same articles in different parta of the country. The Committeo on Manufactures recommended that no deductions be mado for freight on wan sfactured articles, and that goods con- signed to an agent to sell shall not be taxed until sold. The report of the Committee on Whiskey and Cigars ro- vealed the fact that tho revenue from those articlys has fallen far short of what was anticipated, which is sald to aris) from evasions of the law. The report of ono of the comm ttees, looking towards a gonoral tax on sales, in lieu of other modes of taxation, caused a lively debate, there boing strong opposition to the snggestion, whi ultimately Lad to be withdrawn by the committee mak- ing it Ri Thore was a continuation of the Mariposa Company ligation yesterday before Judge Ingraham, of the Su- preme Court, at chambers, argument being heard ona motion to dissolve au injunction restraining farther pro- ceedings in tis Marine Court in certain cages growing out of the operations of this organization The Judgo’s do- cision was reserved Yesterday was the time appointed for the hearing be- foro Judge Ingraham, at chambers, of the argument on th» order obtained by the Eighteenth Ward Market Com- misz‘oners to compel the Mayor and Common Couneil 10 show causa fur neglect to have enacted the necessary municipal ordinance for the erection of said market, in pursnance of a law passed at the last session of the Le- gislature.

Mr. Brady would not consent to a further postponement of the trial, and asked the Court to instruct 4 the jury to acquit the accused, As the prosecution an- sword ready when the cas: was called, the Recorder told the jury fy was thoir duty to render a verdict of not gailty, whitch choy did. ‘his ease has created cunsidora- bie sensation in fashionable circles, a8 the parties are respectably connected.

Stxte Attorney General Cochrane has been ap- pealed to tn the mutter, and gives as his opinion that in th scity and Brooklyn the said bounty ballota must be canvassed by the cauvassers of the respective election districts, and not by the nspectors thereof. Attorney Genera!

Th: roads from Augusta via Atlanta and West Point to Mont gomery, Alabama, are now also in operation. Nearly two hundred delegates from tho Divisions of the Sons of Temperance in Eastern New York assembled yesterday at Odd Fellows’ Hall, in Centre street. A day ‘and an evoning session were held. J. M. Stearns, Graud Worthy Patriarch, presided, and delivered an address to the brethren, congratulating them on the satisfactory progress of the Order and the oarnest zeal evinced by the various divisions fn the cause of temperance. Thero was over one hundred thousand dollars expended for the last year by the Order in this Grand Division, and every- where the most cheering results were apparent. At the evening session an election for officers of the Grand Di- vision was held, and resulted as follows:—Grand Worthy Vatriarch, Nathaniel W. Foster, of Division No. 101; Grand Worthy Associate, Alonzo E.

The Treasurer's report represented the income and expenditure of the society for the eight months ending Juno 15 to be thirty thousand dollars, A Jetter was read from Sir 3. Morton Peto, announcing his intention to be present and speak before the Union. ‘Thore were speeches, and subscriptions, and three ses- sions, which will be repeated to-day. The Cooper Institute was crowded last evening by am audience assembled to hear Mr. Wendell Phillips rede- liver his Boston lecture om the “South Victorious”? He was atientively listened to and frequently applanded, nave in one instance, whero, bearing hard upon President Johneon and his plan of reconstruction, he drew forth a stormy manifestation of isapproval. This was, how. evor, overcoine by the applauae and cheers of the majo- rity. With this exception nothing Interrupted the har. mony of the meeting.

The Continental Bank Note Company, of this city, have finished the engravings for the Imsh republican bonds authorized to be issued by the Feman Congress recently in seasion in Philadelphia, and specimen copies have been laid before us. They present a very hand. some appearance, and, it is said, aro proof against the arts of the couaterfeiter. The public sale of the bonds is expected to commence in about two weeks. The One Hundred and Seventy-third New York Volun- teers, or Fourth Metropolitan regiment, raised in Brook- lyn, and recruited from the police force, arrived at home yesterday from Savannah, and had a handsome recep- tion by the police and firemen of the City of Churches, Headed by a band of music and a drum corps, and es- corted by two hundred and fifty policemen and a number of veteran soldiers, the regiment paraded through s2ve- ral of the principal streets, and the members wore after- wards entertained at a fino dinuer in the Portland avenue: arsenal. A freight train on the Erie Railroad ran into a freight train on the Northern Railroad of New Jersey, at the Bergen crossing, about five o’clock yesterday morning, causing the complete wreok of one of the engines and». number of the cara of both trains; but doing no injury to any person. The engineer of tho Bric train xays the col lision occurred by his mistaking the red signal at the Jonction of the two roads for the light at the entrance to the tunnel.

The question is so plainly stated that every one will comprehend it. This being the oase, and we having anticipated the argument in our issue of yeslerday, we leave the public to pass judgment, While we have no doubt abou! the people sustaining the government in the action it has taken, or about the government firmly ma‘ntaining ils ground in the dis- pute, we are not without fear that if the question be left to Mr. Seward and Enrl Russell it will dwindle down to one of dollars and cen's—that som- sort of pateu- svork compromise will be made, leaving the principle which is involved unsettled, We bops the President will take hold of the mattcr | with his strong, practical common sense «nt sagacious foresight, and have not only the claim for indemnity settled, but the principle of international law determined also. The civil war in this country has brought ow: promi- nently betore the world questions concerning the recognilion of belligevents, what consti- tutes balligerenis and their rights, the law of blockade, the duties and privileges of neutrals, and other cognate questions, And this war, so anomalous and unprecedented, has developed new phases of some of these questions. We could not say that we shall have properly closed up the war tll they are seitled. Other n:tions as well as (he United States will be lia- Iie to continual disputes while they are open. We do not know that we are not even now on the verge of a serious difficulty with Eng- land, arising from tbe unsettled and undeter- mined international law on them, It is all very well to quote this great lawyer or that distinguished writer, bui the trouble is both sides quote, and put their own and opposite consiructions upon the authorities they cite. | There is no infallible authority nor any well defined principle laid down. This is what we need—what the world needs—to settle present and to avoid tnture difficuities, As regards | ourselves especially, while we are not afraid | of war—und no country is #0 capable of | waging 1t—we desire peace. We have a grand réle and destiny to iulfilin the world, and we want u well secured and lasting peace to per- form the mighty work. We may bo compelled to purchase this from forcign governments by the sword, and put the arbitration of questions in dispute to armed hosis before we can feel secure of permanent peace; but we would rather do it by other means. The questions affcting us directly at pres- ent, os those referred to about neutrals, helligerents and maritime law, involve princi- ples that should be settled by a Congress of the great Powers in a clear and well deter- Whiskey | intended to cover hia retreat. We are expeot- ing something “speedily” upon this subject from Washington which will put an end to all doubts and conjecturea. A New Immiazation.—The ofticiaf announce- ment of the War Department that persons who have been liable to the draft during the war, and have left the country rather than serve in the ranks of the national army, may return without any fear that the pains and penaltica of desertion will be imposed, will undoubtedly result in an immense immigration from Canada and Europe. Thousands of young men who could not afford or were not inclined to pay the money demanded for substitutes betook themselves to the other hemisphere or sneaked off to Canada. They will now return in force, secured against all Hability to answer the charge of desertion. We tear that Canada will be almost depopulated by this eudden emigra- tion; for the hegira to that country was some- thing immense during the perilous days when the draft officials were turning the eventful wheel which consigned mon to the roll of honor. Tse Hovse Crerx’s Posrnon- Derien.— By the law pasted at tho last session of Congress the Clerk of the House, holding over from the last Congress, on reading the rol of members qualified to go into the election of a Speaker, is restricted to “those only who shall have been regularly elected under the laws of Congress or the several States.” It is now said, upon radical republican authority, that Mr. McPherson, the Clerk of the last Con- gress, upon waom will devolve the initial anthority, as its presiding officer, in the organi- | zation of the new House, has declared that he | will not piace upon the official list of members | any person claiming to be elected from a State | that has been in rebellion against the govera- | ment, inasmuch as he regards any such pervon as not coming within the pale of the aforesaid law. If such is the decision of Mr. McPherson, we know where he belongs, and that he is the radical candidate for a re-election. ‘Tn Insurrection iy Jamatca.—We see by the late news from Jamaica that the negroes were in insurrection in the eastern part of that island, and that a British steamer filled with troops was sent there to quell the out- break. We imagine that this “insurrection” will be found to amount simply to a strike for higher wages. The blacks have nothing to rebel against except the oppression of their employers. The government which liberated them, we are bound to assume, does not im- pose upon them oppressive laws against which they would be forced to rebel. It is quite pos- sible, however, that the philanthropists who have obtained the free labor of the.negroes for their own advantage have extended their phi- lanthrepy to reducing the prices of labor be- low a point-which the blacks are not disposed to go, and hence the “insurrection.” Our Cay Porrncuns.—The peacemakers between Tammany and Mozart Halls in the matter of their legislative candidates are get- ting on comfortably. Weed and the Woods keep quiet. The Citizens’ Association seems to be comewhat in a fog; the republicans are “inexplicably mixed up,” and the result will doubtless be in November a repetitien of the old story with no material variations, The de- mocrats have the city, and they will hold it in November whatever may happen in December. Yanxex Notions vs. Neoxo Surrnacs.—A Western radical organ says that the late vote of Connecticut “against negro suffrage means market for clocks, locks, crocks, wooden nut- megs and other Yankee notions,” and that the response, from Charleston to New Orleans, is, “Keep down the niggers and we'll buy your knick-knacks,” We commend this solution of the quesiion to the Rov. Brother Beecher.

Mr. Loa’s now theatro, the quences of its apathy.” Mr. Secretary Seward, on the other hand, who is supposed to know something of the affairs of the Department of State, says, in referencel to republicanism in Mexico, “L am suse that this important interest has never been lost sight of by the President of the United States for a single moment, and I expect we shall see republican institutions wherever they have here- tofore been established thraughout the Ameri- can continent speedily vindicated, renewed and reinvigorated.” “Speedily” is the word, and surely Mr. Seward would not use it hero upon @ mere presumption, or as ® tub to the whale, We take it that the administration in- tends to vindicate the Monroe Doctrine, and that Maximilian is speedily to leave the country.
