DUEW- Associate Enitoa The haste manifested by the Eng lish press and people to make the seizure of Ma3on and Slidell a caase of war, hae placed them in an embarrasssing position. Their zeal outrun their discretion, and was not according to knowledge or consistency. They flew into a passion, and reason was banished from the Island. Disregarding all the precedents established by their own government and courts, and for which they have not hesitated to go to war, they placed themselves in the anomalous position preparing to fight for ajright whose existence thpy have always denied, and against a privilege for which they have always contended. The letter of Mr. Seward to Lord Lyons, will operate upon the British public with as chilling an effect as a douche bath on an invalid burning with fever. It will awaken them to the disagreeable position in which they have placed themselves, and they will, for the first time, realize that Ihty have committed themselves lo a doctrine which they cannot hereafter repudiate, without Having the whole moral sentiment and power of the smaller maritime States of Europe against them and im our favor. The coolness and reticeace of our Government in its management of this delicate diplomatic controversy, must strike evary one in a tavorable light. Mr. Seward treats the whole subject as though his mind bad been made np from the first, to let the prisoners go, and 4they were onIv retained in order to force the English Government to assume the pos-ti.m relative tj the rights of neutrals hithi;rto held by our Government, it is seen how readily the bait was swallowed. John Bull is once again the victim of a miserable Yankee trick. The nations of Europe are laaghing in their sleeves at the handsome man Bet in w1ik h he has been overreached, but will hold him to his position, inasmuch as the benefits tj.atcrue from his conversion to the A merican doctrine, will be realized by them to as great an extent as by our people. We are itware that in the first flush of Buccess, the English press and people will feel com tunable. Concluding they have frighreu"d oar Government into acceding to their demands, they will sing "Brittania rules the Waves," with new zest and vigor, and their mus of foaming ale will be tariffed w.iii additional relish. They may even flitter themselves that Great Britain can bodn'd by no precedent that she is u law unto hersell' and that when "the " preservation of her existence'' requires it, will again repudiate the principles on which she claims the surrender of Mason and Siidelland overhaul and search neutral ve?s!s whenever and wherever she desires. Id this they will find themselves mistaken. They will learn thatour Government can defend its honor with as much tenacity and boldness, as it c-aa gracefully appropriate to its own advantage such ebullitions of passion as have bereft Great Britain of reason. The eagerness with which the British Government prepared for war against Republican America, in contrast with the hesitation that characterized her commencement of hostilities against despotic Russia, cannot but be remembered by every lover of democratic institutions throughout the world, and some day it will come up in judgment against her in so frightful a form as to cause her shudderingly to exclaim "Thou cans't not say I did It." Many sage predictions have been given forth by English correspondents and English newspapers. The whole world has been notified in the mo t positive manner that our government was the creature of a mob ; that the Administration dare not decide counter to the wishes of the raging, tumultuous, rabble, or it would be hurled from power; that the mob was agaiast surrendering Mi' -on and Slidell, and that Mr. Lincoln wou'd not dare to give them up. With all the information thrown in their way as to the character and disposition of our people, British statesmen are continually making just such blunders, as Mr. Russell and various papers in England, have been guilty of i,t this particular. John Ball's prejudices ate so thick-skinned that nothing can penetrate them, and whenever he guesses at all concerning the political conduct of our le;ple, he guesses wrong. Repeated blun. d -rs in this particular, however, make no impression on his assurance or impudence, and he is just as ready to ventilate a new prophecy to-day, as though he bad not been proven a ridiculous blunderer yesterday. The American people are satisfied with Mr. Seward's settlement of the Mason and Slidell difficulty. They are more than satisfied taat it has resulted in.the recognition

by Great Britain of a theory which ebe has j

always opposed. They intend to bold the British government to the present settlement, and it may be taken for granted that , the last American merchantman has been overhauled by British cruisers on the high ; seas, for any purpose, unless the vessel is : actually engaged in running a blockade with contraband goods. This fact we con sider settled. In order, however, that it may be settled beyond a peradventure we trust that but few months will elapse before the rebellion will be overthrown, our army in the highest state of efficiency, and our navy increased to that magnitude our skill, enterprise and resources demands. Wewant no more temporising and delay. Our army is large enough, and well enough equipped and disciplined, to accomplish the work lor which it is designed. II our commanding Generals are incompetent to manage the mighty host and leud it on to victory, the people expect them to resign. If they do nothing not even resign they will be removed. That is the lutg and short of it. Our complications with European tiowers are too delicate to keep up a contractor's war at this juncture., at home. The time has arrived, in our judg ment, when it is impolitic for the government to attempt to carry on the war by loans. The war cannot be successfully waged without money, and at the beginning of this struggle we should be careful to preserve unimpaired the credit of the government and resort at once to the only fair and impartial method of collecting revenue by taxation. In this enlightened age, war is not waged for the sake of plunder, hence it involves enormous outlays. We do not seek to impoverish the South by making its treasure pay the expense of the invasion as perhaps we ought to do but we wish to uphold the authority of the Constitution, by lawful and constitutional appliances. The Goths and Vandals of the middle ages car" ried on long and successful wars without means or resources, but in the absence of a common treasury, tbey made raids into the rich provinces of their more culti vated neighbors, and retired with all the treasure they could lay their hands upon. We have no other resources, except the individual wealth of a loyal people, and the time has come when we must realize this fact, and pay each his own proportion of the expense of this costly struggle for the existence of the government. The Xew York Chamber of Commerce hasalrp-.il j. !ii ioned the government to adopt thU siicp at once. We trust that the necessary measures for collecting a war tax will be taken speedily, that the burden may fall equally on all. In this State, we do not believe, there is any considerable party ready to seize upon this bag-bear of taxation and turn it to political account. The Democratic Convention which meets next Wednesday, will not dare to do it. The opposers of the policy are found only in the lodges of this new off-shoot of treason, whose infernal purposes have been timely exposed by the public press. We believe the truth is patent to all that the war cannot be vigorously prosecuted without this tax, and he who resists it, so far as lies within his power, does what he can to cripple the t6" sources of the government Men may vote unlimited supplies of men and money, in Congress, but they cannot be furnished without the people are willing to bear the expense. In thi3 emergency every patriot mast feel willing to drop his last dime into the Treasury, if that be necessary to sustain the government. No less measure of patriotism will meet the case, or rise to the level of this crisis. If it be true as has been so often asserted that the pocket is the vital pa with Americans, theu the lime has arrived when we may test our loyalty ia a subsUuiial manner. We may be patriots and lovers of our common country, but are we witling to contribute of our means, to support the flag of that country, no matter what sacrifices it may entail upon us. Upon this point the people are iu advance of their representatives at Washington, and we only fear that they may quibble and draw back, and lose precious time. Politicians who waver now, will be remembered. Let the old i-sues go. " Let the dead past bury its dead." No matter what was the policy of the government in times gone by. The next generation will aski not if this or that man proved loyal to obsolete theories of government, but rather was be equal to the times in which he lived and acted ? Did be grapple with the vital issues of this terrible present ? And it will fare ill with any man who leaves a weak spot in his record touching these. The war mast be carried on until the insurrection is entirely suppressed. To do this the government muat have the means, and we might as well to-day begin to bear the burden imposed, upon us by loyalty to a beneficient government, as to wait until the securities of the government are depreciated, and the war languishes for proper support. Let us go fearlessly forward in whatever course is necessary to bring about a speedy and honorable peace, by a vigorous and successful war. Ayer's American Almanac is now ready for delivery, gratis, at Keller & White's, who are happy to supply all that call for them. Every family should have and keep this book. It is worth having oniprising much general information of great value. It gives the best instruction for the cure of prevalent complaints, that we can get anywhere. Its anecdotes alone are worth a bushel of wheat, and its medical advice is sometimes worth to the sick, the wheat's weight in gold. Many of the almanacs are trash, bU this is solid metal. Its calculations are made purposely for this latitude and are therefore correct. Call and get an Ayer's almanac, and when got, keep it. The agent of the associated press must be bard up for news, to bore Western readers with the lucubrations of Gov. Andrews.

I'M nA Deattt m Great Cities

AV litre are the Doctors T When Alirc the Goth heard that Rome I was thronged with the fugitives who had j fled from his barbarous hordes, the grim chieftain laughed and said "Ah! I am glad of it. It is easier to cut down thick grass ! than thin." It has been estimated by a j physician of eminent standiug that out of j 227,000 deaths which annually take place in populous cities, 100,000 might reasonably be struck off the list by proper sanitary measures. But Dr. Holloway, the greatest modern traveler and most experienced physician of the age, considers that these figures considerably undervalue the true relative proportions. From various data in his possession, taken at random during a series ; of ye-.iis in the large cities of the world, Dr. Hoiloway says 80 per cent. He accounts for the unnecessary sacrifice of hu- ) man life from the foul air breathed in densej ly crc wded cities the biood becomes vitiatj ed and the tissues loose ttiei:- . itality, hence I their debility and pale eniac. -t- d appearance j witnessed in thedenizens ofiarge towns. Dr. Hullo way's celebrated vegetable Pills neutralizes the virus received into the luugs by their action on the blood, which they purify aud invigorate, while the active princple of the medicine combines with the vital fluid, and is consequently scattered over the entire system. The effect of these life sustaining Pills is not confined merely to the blood; the stomach, liver, and bowels are equay benefitted by them. The functions of the stomach are strengthened, the secretions of the liver are corrected, and the action of the bowels stimulated so that the general constitution are comparatively renewed. We understand that Dr. Holloway is al out publishing his "Memoirs," which, when they appear, will certainly be a valuable acquisition to the scientific literature of the day. We predict that they will be eagerly read by all classes and doubtlessly translated into every printed language. Few men, if any, have traveled more than Dr. Holloway, for we find that he has nearly made a tour of the habitable globe, receiving letters and souvenirs from persons of the highest distinction. From what we have heard the forthcoming volumes are replete with strange incidents that have occured during bis visits to Paris, St. Petersburg, Vienna, Pekin, Melbourne, Berlin, Wasnington, Constantinople, and other remarkable cities of the world. Dickens' "All the Year Round:' Scrvetors Office, E vansville, Ind., Jan. 3, 18G2. J Editor of the Journal .- Sib: Enquiries have been made touching the lawfulness of importing sugar and cotton from the disloyal to the loyal States, and I have been informed that a few parcels of each of these articles have quite recently made their appearance upon the border of the Ohio River, having been wagoned through the State of Kentucky. A little reflection will conviuce any loyal citizen, that such a trade is unlawful and that it cannot be permitted either in large or Bmall quantities. It should be constantly borne in mind, that all intercourse with the rebels for the purjioses of trade is strictly prohibited by our government. The Atlantic ports of the insurgent States, being under a close blockade, the rebels are prevented from sending their products to a foreigu market, but if tbey shall be permitted to send them inland to the Ohio River, what shall hinder their being shipped to New York and thence to Europe? Such a trade would afford them aid and comfort, which no loyal citizen would knowingly give. Respectfully, A. L. ROBINSON, Surveyor. An Editor Excited. Our neighbor Pro6aer of the Mt. Vernon Advocate is very indignant at the Surveyor of this port, for having seized a demijohn of Irish whisky which Mr. Gardner of Blairsville, had purj chased for "Christmas purposes." Prosser ! been promised a certain number of punches from the aforesaid Irish whisky, and its tailure to arrive and the frustration of his own and Mr. Gardner's "Christmas purposes," has soatfecied tne editor's braiu, that he is guilty of writing the fellow lag paragr-iph: John B. Gardner, aa old resident ol' Posey couaty, well known, not only in Vanderburg county, but in lJosey, and for three years Treasurer of the IsUter county, a man whose Duion seuiimenu are undoubted, was debarred from haviug shipped lrom Evansviile to Mt. Vernon two gallons of Irish whisky for Christmas purposes, the article being considered contraband by that pink of perfection Mnjor Robinson, port Surveyor of Evanville. Things have come to a pretty pass when the citizens of Posey county cannot receive small packages from a neighboring town without the consent of an upstart who is making, perhaps, j from twenty to thirty dollars per day by au assumption ot power totally ized and illegal. uuauthor86?" The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press llr, Forney telegraphs to that paper that orders for a torward movement have been made at last. Gen. Burnside's expedition is destined for the Rappahanock river, which has hitherto been designated as the second line of the rebel defenses, while another body of Union troops is to flank Manassas Junction from the Occoquan. We trust Mr. Forney's statement will prove correct, and that at last something is to be done. The special Washington correspon dent of the Albany Argus, says : Fremont will produce, in his defense, a letter .from Lincoln giving him absolute power in the Northwest making him Pro-con3ul, in fact. His friends insist that he is the victim of Presidential aspiration in the Cabinet. Expected Battle. Last Tuesday, the Philadelphia Pre3s says, that a battle was anticipated between Gen. McCall's Division and the enemy's forces near Leesburg. The men were ordered to draw seven days rations. This was though', to be equivalent to an order to move on Leesburg. Yesterday was one of the most dis agreeable days of the season. It rained freezing as it fell, and covered the pavements wiih ice, rendering navigation rather unsafe for pedestrians. We remind our friends that the elegant Courier is the mail boat for Paducah and j Cairo, to day at 12 o'clock. 'A11 aboard I"

It is a fact established beyond a doubt, that Read tc Lawrence sre selling their large and complete stock of boots and shoes, at lower figures than the same quality can be had of any other house in the West, and as evidence of this truth, we judge by their heavy sales. Their stock is now complete, notwithstanding they are in daily receipt of new goods direct from the manufacturers in New England. If you want Boots and Shoes, just call and have Read to show you through, and if you are for trade, we vill stand the oysters that he will sell you. dlt A Good Opportunity. The steamer J U.
