NEWS ritPM KSCLASD. The ues from England, received last Monday morning, created no little excitement here, as wll a elsewhere. As was trine 1 by many, England vll irobably . . . w t oi:.i..n male the KlZtlM of Mason and i.imeu preiext tog-t into a war wiiu me unless our government hall make UBtora lion and apology. There is no us difguis'ng the fact that tho most det.lorahlo consequences would re.ult to ihe Federal Government if hos-1 lilinea should begin between the two gov

'people, individually and collectively, vro

may well look upon such a contest with serious misgivings as to the final result, ; England knows our situation as well as we do, and will not hesitate to take any nd- : vantage of it which may be oll'ered. The action of Captain Wilkes may have : been, and we think waa, a violation of a 1 right claimed by all nations: but it is one I that England has frequently violated. which never cost her a war, and we cannot see why the difficulty may not bo settled peaceably now. We Americans ; have enough of the realities of war, wih out indulging in bombast and fustian. WHAT OKS IT 9II2AX? Last fall, when Ja.pcr Packard, Esq., made a political speech from the balcony of the Edwaids Hone, the street was crowded to hear him spout abolitionism for the success of the Republican candidate lor the Presidency. Last Fi Way evening, he spoke here j again; and what a falling off was there, m countrymen, in the number who went to ear him ! Three dozen, big, little, old' and young, would cover the number in attendance. He spoke on the war, and asked ,,,r volunteers to light lor the government. Was an election of more importance to j ' i.vuvi , u n.nei uu ' perpetuity of the government? May be Matiingly can tell.

J don't know ourselves , we look like a new set of boys. In the arnhai at Old Point i i f 1 I we 'Reived a supply ol new tents xrc.W j ! stoves iu them, new unifoims and new ev 1 . . .. erything. Not only did we receio supplies from Government, but from home from the kind ladies of Marshall, to whom we desire to 'return our unfeigned thanks.' Rut after we have got everything to make us comfortable, there is great dissati.-fac-t;on ainong the men of the regiment. caused by the unkind treatment and sliici orders of their commander. This morning there wa9 quite an excitement iu camp on account of an order that was read on drefcs parade, to the etlect that no man should eat in his tent. Finding that the boys would pay no attention to faid order, tl,e Colonel called a sergeants' meeting j u hJch ho requested them lo enforce the order. Accordingly, the order was again published, by the 1st fc"igeaiits, at loll call, with the request that it be obeyed ; but 'inrdly had they got ihiough when the boys died out that they'd "bo dJ jf they 'd do it ; they would not eat out on tho cold and wet giound for Col. Dkown. 'or any other man.' " So this morning at bieukfast-rall each man diew his rations, I ? . .1 .1. a; uown in .119 tentoy me a,m noie. sat down iu his tent by the wann Move, eat cheei fully, and made fun of tho older. I will say nothing in regard to it, but let the people say what th'y think of such an order, and others equally as bad. Lit'iu. Col. M Auer, Capt. IIekh n. of Lal'ayette, Capt. CitiSaENDoitr, of Indianapolis, and ?1 Lieut. Lymh, of Company C, have resigned and gone home, all on account of our commander. My opinion is, from what I hear and iee, that if all could resign, theie would not hi one ma.i left, in twelve hours, for tho Colonel to command. The boys aie well diilled and make a tine display on drill ground, if they want to, but they do not care nor try to do il on account of reasons stated above. If our commander iure ties thi-i course much longer, I am afraid nearly all the Captains in the regiment will resign. Our Camp is about a mile from ihe Fort, the bay running within 100 yaida of ourj tente, anu th country around looks like a , great city ; a far as the eye can see there is nothing but te.nts. At drill hours there ia a beautiful sight-thousands can be seen coming out lo Ihe sound of fine 1 lira Hand music, with colon flying. j Looking Jn the biy you teo the block'ado pointing their big guns toward tho

' mouth of tho James river, and Jewell's

Point, whero the secesh are encamped, j Our regiment is in a very healthy condi. ' ticn ; there are but few sick at present, ! and we only three have died since we have been in the service. James Hash.! j of Company C, died hut week of typhoid ! fever, and was buried last Thursday. His 'coffin was wramned un in the Stars and Stripes. Tho procession to the buiialground wa3 headed by tho Brass Band and followed by his Company. Jamks was a good boy, a good soldier, and his death U regretted by every one that knew him. To-morrow wo- are to hare a Brigade diill, tobe commanJed bv Colonel Max. Wkbek. of the 2Jth New York, acting ' Brigadier General in place of Gen. Mans field, who has goni lo Newport News.
