The morning dispatches will be found on the cutside of to-day's paper. 'It will be remembered that we ex pressed the fear, shortly after the seizure of Mason and Slideil, that England would make it a pretext for hostilities, and that the former position taken by our Government, in reference to the rights of neutral ships, would come up unpleasantly in the discussion of our right to overhaul the Trent. Although most of our cotemporaries argued themselves into the belief that the facts and '.he law were so clearly on our side, that England wouldn't dare to make the seizure casus belli, we notice that many of them are rapidly changing their opinions. Some of them are now as suming the position that if England will concede the American doctrine that a neutral vessel is exempt from search by vessels of belligerent powers, and thus abandon her former practices and precepts, that we can afford to give up the two traitors, however unpleasant it may be to do so. But is it not time to convince England that she cannot make and unmake maritime - "irs her convenience f What assurance have we that she would not repudiate t... it she might agree to to-day, just as readily as abe doe tbe doctrine of right of .earch ? If she is to violate her own rules, which she has forced other nations to ob-ierve, with impunity, we lose a nation by accepting a flimeey excuse to avoid a contest with her. It is true we are struggling for the maintainance of a Republican government, and that England at ails herself ...f the first pretext in order to overthr; r our institutions ; but she may find if our government proves true to the people ar d the people sustain iVim nr: nj:. i run ra mVpn itxni fraja'-fra than she anticipated. If the struggle does not sbiikthe British empire to its foundation?, and end in the overthrow of a titled, landed aristocracy that is eating out the eubstance of the people we will be sadly mistaken. The merchant princes of Carthage wenttothe walliutheirstrutrlewith the Roman Republic, and the coUoa lords of Great Britain iuay safely profit by their example. Carthage had the supremacy on trie m Bhe had the money, she had the ikiil, but she hadn't the sturdy yeomanry, that composed the Roman armies. It is easily seen that, in a contest with the United Staler, Great Britain can not rely on the enthusiastic support of Ireland or even portions of England. The citizens of this country of English birth are so outraged by the unjustifiable interference of tbe mother country in our domestic quarrel that they wiil rally to the support of the stars and stripes with a devotion exceeding that of native born residents. They are, in moot cases, in constant communication with friends in the old country who, to a greater or less extent, will be influenced by their representations and opinions, and who will not take up arms against a government and country in which their relations have so wonderfully prospered. For our own part, with Senator Hale, we would rather risk the horrors of another struggle with Great Britain than purchase a peace that humiliates us to the position of a second or third rate power. A nation can stand anything better than dishonor. If England takes the matter coolly, and calmly discusses the subject, we should meet tfer with equal politeness. But if she attempts to bully us into accepting her ultimatums, regardless of their legality or jus. tice, we trust our Government will bid her defiance, and the people will sustain it with a unanimity that cannot fail of ultimate success. Remember the Poor. Amid the festivities common to tbe season, we should not forget the suffering poor. The hard times have left hundreds in our midst almost destitute, the chilling days of winter wili bring additional hardships upon the poor, i , ., ... . .. While our ladies are busily engaged pro- j Tiding mittens and socks for the soldiers, i who are comparatively comfortable, they ! Should also remember the shivering destitute women and children in our midst. There never was a time when it was more imperatively the duty of benevolent men and women to assist the poor than no. " The poor we have always with us," but the war and the stringency of the times has greatly increased the number of destitute families. Intebsstiso to Pe.tple with FalseTeeth. A lady in Mrchanii-sburg, Mi., died a few nights jo, in cotiarquence of swallowing a set of artificial teeth, in her mleep.

Economy.

The Marine Liospital at t'uia place, has been costing the sum of six thousand dollar a year for its support. There being only J five patients, orders were issued some days j since, by the Secretary of tb Treasury to have these patients boarded at a private hots , and to h.is-e the Hospital clcsed. In accordance with these instructions, the patients have been provided with quarters at a private house, at the rate of $2,80 a week pereach patients for boarding, nursing, &c. not including medical attendance, which will cost not exceeding 2,50 a week, ach. By this arrangement there will be a saving of at least, Form thousand five hundred dollars. Now, this tine building can be occupied exclusively aa a military hospital for eur sick and wouuded soldiers ———<>——— FIRE.—About four o'clock yesterday afternoon a fire broke out in Ivinson's Foundry on Water street. The fire is said to have originated from a defective flue. The engines were on the ground in a short time after the alarm was given and did good execution, although the buildings being at wood were partially consumed. All the patterns were lost but the machinery will not be seriously damaged. The buildings and contents were the property of Mr. John Ivinson, and were insured for $3,000, sufficient, we trust, to cover the loss. ———<>——— Secesh Prisoners. The nine secesh prisoners taken by Capt. Netter at Whippoorwill Bridge, arrived here last Thursday night on the Mattie Cook. If they are fair specimens of the Southern army, we may safely conclude that as a body, it rivals the celebrated companyof FalstatT. They wore no uniform and their appearance indicated that it had been many a day since they had fared as sumptuously as they are now expense of Uncle Samuel. ! no amietv to escaoe and I no anxiety to eocape ana doing at the They expressed seemed perfectly reconciled to be lodged hdu leu, luuugu tuejr aru luaiucu uuiu j going back tojtheir regiment to defend their " rights." At noon yesterday they were placed on board the steamer Shenango and left for Louisville, where they will be locked up for the present. A squad of five men belonging to Capt. Setter's company were in charge of the prisoners. ———<>——— TO CORRESPONDENTS. The following circular has been received at the Post Office from the Department. It will be seen that it is desirable for correspondents to use stamped envelopes instead of postage stamps. One of the greatest objections to such substitution heretofore, is now obviated, viz: the spoiling of envelopes and consequent loss of the stamp. It will be seen that spoiled ones can be exchanged under certain necessary regulations made to prevent fraud. Few persons realize how cheap stamped envelopes are—only $2 per thousand, and of good quality. A large supply is on hand at the P. O. <Ruled Stamped Envelopes exclusively adopted by the Post Office Department, at the price of the unruled>. It is desirable to intate for the stamp. The following are some of the advantages of the envelope to the correspondent: 1st. The use of the Stamped Envelope is economical; it is furnished to the public at the small price of two mills each, or five for one cent, exclusive of the cost of the stamp, but when the envelope and stamp are procured separately, the formcr, of the same quality as that sold by the government, costs more than twice as much. By using the stamped envelope instead of the stamp, there is a virtual reduction of postage of one half to four-fifths of a cent on each letter transmitted through the mails. 2nd. The use of the stamped envelope obviates the inconvenience and occasional loss to correspondents, arising from the frequent neglect to attach the postage stamp to the ordinary envelope; the letter in such case being detained until the person to whom it is addressed is notified of the fact, and the postage due thereon remitted. 3rd. The black lines incorporated with this envelope, not only supply a great convenience to many in the superscription of their letters, in a way to which there can be no objection, but they also indicate the proper position on the envelope for the address, so as to leave a sufficient blank for the post mark, thereby avoiding their mutual obliteration, and ensuring the speedy and safe transmission of letters through the mails. Postmasters are authorized to receive any stamped envelopes spoiled in the direction or otherwise, (at the rate of the stamps which they bear,) in exchange for other stamped envelopes, upon <satisfactory evidence being furnished that the former have not been used to pre-pay letters, great care being taken to guard against fraud>. Hence, no envelope claimed to have been misdirected, is to be exchanged at the Post office of a locality to which it is addressed. Spoiled envelopes thus received should be forwarded quarterly to the Finance Office of the Department, and the value of the stamps npon them will be placed to the credit of Postmasters. ———<>——— A soldier lately returned from Cal houn, says that the 42nd Regiment can only turn out 320 men at Dress Parade the balance of the regiment being sick. Many of these are not seriously sick, but the number in the hospital is sufficient evidence of the fact that Calhoun is not the most healthy location in the world, and we hope to hear thit our troops are moved forward at an early day. . . ,. ,, , M.

ARMY CORRESPONDENCE ———

IlBADQCABTBiiS 12jH IND. REG., "I SHAap-Bote, Mb, D-?. 14, '61. Mb. Editor: On last Wednesday morning tbe report came to h-adqu ;r:t r? that iNJBt three huvJrei i-u".i:.r:v. ! . .- dred cavalry, had madu their- fHeaf auue on the Virginia shore, opposite Amte-. . a', which place Capt. N erroU corhpany are encamped, and commenced firing upon them ; which, of ooarse, was promptly retrrrrred by the brave " Hoosier boys." Col. Link immediately dispatched two campaiiies to that i point to re-enforce them. Before we reached j them, the rebels had left in hot baste ; and ! we were compelled to retrace our" steps to ! " headquarter' without the p'easure of ' having art opportunity of firing upon them even once. Tae rebels fired-but one or two volleys upon our pickets, and with but little effect, wounding only ODe. There were six killed on their side, and many wounded. After reaching our encampment, we bad I scarcely laid off our war accoutrements when a messenger came with news that the 4 a large band of guerrilla cut-throat thievc-3 1 were encamped across Uie river, opposite : where Major Hubler's force are stationed.! Early ,a the morning, tbe Major sent Cap- I tain Reub Williams, formerly editor of the Warsaw Northern IndianiaD, with a tquajd F of seven men, to ascertain, as near as possi- j The Captain, contrary to the Major's order, ' . advanced too close to the enemy's camp, and' himself and all his men were taken prisoners. On either side of the river, for a distance of twelve miles, extend narrow ranges of high mountains, or bluffs, and on reaching the summit, a view can be had of the country for miles around ; and it was expected the Captain would only go to the brow of the bluff, but instead of that, he ascended tbe mountain and advanced in the direction ?f the mp until he came to a hm. la th.e..Tf Iey. ab?ut 0a, ai1 frT tbe nyeT- At this place he could very easily ascertain the exact number of rebels, a?d return safely to camp ; but the rebels are ever on tbe alert always having bands of "itinerant" vagabonds, wandering about like " hungry wolves," to see all that is going on, and to take everything they can find belonging to Union citizens. The Captain had only reached about half the distance from the house to the base of the mountain, when he was intercepted by the villainous scouts, numbering about two hundred, and after a desperate struggle, was overpowered and taken captive. From a high eminence on the Maryland shore, a full view was bad of all that transpired. It, U said the Captain and his men fought gallantly, exhibiting skill and bravery, characteristic of all the boys of the " bloody 12th," tutored by our preceptor and brave coruuuuider, Col. Link. Maj. Hubler's force rallied to the top of the mountain, and fired several volleys at the rebels, doing great executicu. Tby killed twelve and wounded near forty. Oae shot fired by one of our " boys," a distance of three-quarters of a mile, took effect in the eye of one of the rebels who was in the act of tying Capt. Williams. It is considerably doubted by the incredulous whether he aimed at that particular part of the head, but be claims he did. We left headquarters at 3 o'clock, and reached Maj. Hubler's camp just at dusk, traveling twelve miies in little over two hours, tol. Link, in the. men'im'v had oi ihfautry ana some artillery ,- sJonly af'ier we reached there, one piece of amijery came,nd theColoOei set us to work digging rifle pits and planting our big guns, laboring until about two hours before dawn.

Alter the confusion had subsided the rebels began to rally together, acting very much like a whipped cur, and fired an ineffectual volley upon us, only wounding about eight or nine. If Col. Leonard had sent re-euforcemonts to us, as Col. Link desired, we would have crossed the river and followed the rebels until they would have been heartily glad to give up our men. Our wounded are fast recovering. The weather here is delightful, ami the atmosphere is mild and balmy.
