7 - L. Jan. 18; ed:2/1 - "Considerable excitement has been occasioned by
the proposed taxation of spirits. First proof spirits are to be taxed
sixty cents a gallon; and forty cents additional to be levied on all
spirits distilled from grain imported from foreign countries.
"The recognized basis of England's fiscal action is that luxurie
should be taxed rather than the necessaries of life. In the effort to -
realize a large revenue almost all things were at first taxed, until
now the chief revenue of England is obtained by the taxation of but
comparatively few articles.
"All the articles subject to customs duties in England are the fol-
lowing: The cereal products, hops, mahogany, foreign spirits, sugar,
coffee, tea, timber, cocoa, wood, tobacco and wine.
"From the articles above mentioned 24,000,000 pounds sterling are
obtained...."
"Let all luxuries, native or foreign, be taxed, and the burden of
our national debt will fall chiefly upon the wealthy instead of the
poor." . . (8)

15 - L. Aug. 2; ed:2/1, 2 - England and France have been keeping a watch-
ful eye on the war in this country with a view to making improvements in
their own army and navy which will render them more powerful in war.
"It is undoubtedly true that wars are sooner brought to an end, and
peace reestablished in proportion as the means for carrying on war be-
comes more effective. If with rifled cannon and breach loading rifles,
wars can be made more destructive of life and property, than their use,
in shortening duration of the war, must be beneficial." (6)

Upon-Avon, Shakespeare, the greatest poet was born. Three days hence
will be the 300th anniversary of his birth. England will make this
anniversary a national and literary festival.
"There should be some distinctive and peculiar celebration on the day
itself. It is late, but not yet too late, and we trust that the Library

of impending ruin for themselves, bought up the Confederate cotton loan
when it had reached a very low figure, in order to make one grand final

in England, as late as last April, there were 300 organizations of this
kind with a membership of 100,000, and showing in every respect most
desirable results." (5)

688 - L. Oct. 25; ed: 2/1 - In two weeks the people of these states will
decide between peace and war. Every indication signifies that war shall
continue until the armed Rebellion is crushed. The Democratic leaders
are planning on laying a trap to catch the unwary and unthinking. All
the devices of politicians at the North and Rebels at the South will be
resorted to, to influence public opinion.
"No one need be deceived by these tricks. The Chicago platform wants
a convention with a view to restoration of the Union. Stevens, Boyce,
and Johnson favor a convention between equal powers, but do not mention
restoration of the Union.
"By acknowledging independence of the South, we justify England and
France in similar recognition, sure to follow such an act on the part of
the North. We justify them in breaking the blockade, we barter away
our nationality, and we consent to a broken, dismembered Union. If we
wish to avert these evils, we must stand by the Union. The people are not
silly gudgeons thus to be caught." (18)

kind depends largely upon the character and sex of the first baby in
the royal household. The first report of the baby weighing nine pounds
was untrue. The little prince is happy and well. Everyone trusts that
he has inherited largely of the virtues of his royal grandmother, Wic-
toria. This is the third time that sovereigns of the House of Hanover
have seen a child born to succeed to their honors. "Wictoria's heir
and grandchild comes into this busy world of ours with no antinatal
family jars. Let us hope well for the new prince." (17)

Seward's dispatches to Adams, our minister at London, touching our rela-
tions with England. Their calm, firm, and decided tone and the grave
warnings which they convey to the English government express the senti-
ments of the American people. Seward says that the United States shall
protect itself against armed cruisers from Great Britain, and insist
upon indemnities for injuries which expeditions have committed, and the
navy of the United States shall receive instructions to pursue enemies.
We feel that in these extracts there is a calm, earnest, dignified warm-
ing, which is more impressive than empty vaporings. (6)

done to our commerce by the ship ALABAMA in its piratical voyages on

England cannot be made liable for American property losses of millions.

settled. The American people will approve of these demands." (4)

"The United States will protect itself and its commerce against armed

will not allow the people to be twitted into a War with the United

Britain and Ireland to the United States, and the enlistment of many im-
migrants in the Union army is causing much comment and discussion in the
British parliament.
In a speech Lord Howard says that the U. S. government has recruit-
ing agents on emigrant ships; also, that Englishmen, permitted to get
drunk on arrival in this country, have entered the Union forces to their
regret. "Such outrages are not confined to foreigners, however, and we
wish that means could be taken to stop them. We have failed to discover
any case that any state or federal officer had knowingly forced an emigrant
against his will into service, and as long as good land and high wages are
more easily obtained in this country than in England, there will not be
wanting Englishmen, Irishmen and other Europeans ready to avail themselves
of the offered advantages." (13)

been launched.
A splendid yacht for T. W. Kennard, Esq., is being built by Peck and
Masters, and a propeller called IRONSIDES is being built by Quayle and
Martin. The Kennard yacht is 44 feet long. Her beam is 25 feet, the
depth of the hold, 14 feet and the tonnage, 500 tons. She is really a
small ocean steamer built for swiftness of sailing and comfort of pas-
sengers. Mr. Kennard has given orders that the boat shall be built of
western material and by western labor. Her furniture will be costly and
luxurious. At the end of the season the boat will be taken to New York
in readiness for a trip to England at the beginning of the next season.
The dimensions of the propeller IRONSIDES are as follows: Length, 233
feet; beam, 31 feet, and depth of hold, 13-1/2 feet. She is being built for
Lake Superior passenger trade. Her engines, two low pressure cylinders,
34 by 46 inches, are from the Cuyahoga works. She will have three foot
guards, and her cabins will be 210 feet long and 14 feet wide. Her speed
is expected to be 16 miles an hour. (10)

cause they wanted that solid growth of history which gives a permanent
character to a people. So reads Goldwin Smith's letter to a Whig mem-
ber of the Southern Independence association.
"But all this is changed by our Civil War. The American people have
compressed centuries of history into months. That immortal valor of our
soldiers which outshines the most splendid achievements of England's
armies, and which is known and honored throughout the world, has made
a history for the young republic." (16)
