GREAT BRITAIN.-John Mitchel, in his last Paris letter, alludes to the speech of Mr. D'Israeli, as furnish? ing the solution of the neutrality of England in the late European war. Mr. Mitchel had predicted her atti? tude, but did not attribute it to the motive that is explained by Mr. D'Israeli-namely, that England lias grown too great to be bothered with the troubles of the continent. Mr. Mitchel thinks this satisfactory. He says: "England has outgrown these small European squabbles. Time was when she was but little more than a mere ? European power-a leading and con? trolling one, it is true; and at that time she may have condescended to regulate by treaties tho differences and boundaries of these little States. But now she has grown so great as to be above all that. She is no longer a mero European power, but au Asiatic, .an African, an American and an Aus? tralian power; and tho metropolis of si grand maritime empire, on which the sun, etc. ; and, moreover, the mai ii Lope and stay of civilization, without which the nineteenth century could never get along. It is too much to expect that a people occupying this noble position should spend its time and its money in tho petty dis? putes of German princes and Italian kings and French empeiors. Tho displacement of some tribe in Central Asia is of moro real consequence to English interests than tho conqnost of an Austrian empire." Tho Petersburg Express, of Mon? day, says: "Since Thursday last, about 400 bodies of Federal and Con? federate dead have been removed from tho immediale vicinity of the 'Crater,' and that still a large num? ber remain. These bodies aro placed in strong boxes, and re-interred in the cemetery at Poplar Grove, w^fere such Confederates as are taken up are buried in a separate square. Ina few days digging operations will be commenced in tho cavity of the 'Crater' itself, where some 200 or more Federal soldiers were killed and covered over. It is the intention of the Government to have the remains of every soldier, Federal or Confede? rate, removed from tho lines of thia vicinity and interred in the cemetery at Poplar Grove, where such of them as are known will be marked." It is expected that aftor the 5th in? stant, (to-morrow,) trains will run through from Memphis to Louisville in eighteen hours. Tho Memphis branch road is to be completed by that time. The Black IAtt. The National Intelligencer gives us I tho following summary of the black doings of the radical Congress: Congress has manifested an inten? tion to precipitate civil war by tho passage in tho House, under .circum? stances of violent impeachment of the motives of the President, a reso? lution providing for tho distribution of the Government arms among tho States, to tho present exclusion of tho South. Congress has transcended the just powers of Government by tho arbi? trary expulsion ot a United States Senator upon party behest, against the best legal opinion iu thc Senate, for-the sole purpose of depriving tho Executive of effective co-operation in aid of tho veto power; also by tho expulsion of loading conservativo Union members of thc House for no other probablo reason than that their experienced ability was a sore obsta? cle to the consummation of mischiev? ous party machinations. We refer especially to the action against Mr. Brooks and Mr. Voorhees. Congress has done violence to tho Constitution by refusing :ui appro? priation for the salary of a ministe? rial official abroad, whose position existed by positive law. Should this form of action bo applied at will by partisans as a punishment for the expression of opinions distasteful to them, then tho wheels of Govern? ment would be stopped. It is re? plete with usurpation and revolution. Congress has acted in thc fell pur? pose of revolution by keeping loyal ' representatives from its floor from other States than Tennessee-States just as far advanced as that in legis? lation in behalf of colored men, and upon those subjects in consistence with the loyal requirements of tho logic of events and the necessity of the situation. Congress has sought to impair tho constitutional rights of States by the admission of communities in that ca? pacity of trifling populations. Con? gress has exhibited a revolutionary spirit by refusing to so modify the test-oath at the suggestion of the De? partments os to iusuro thc execution of the laws and Government transac? tions in the South. Congress has passed by an over ; whelming party vote in one branch a I prohibitory tariff bill. From fear of results of the elections in the West, this conspicuous measure of despoil? ment of the people for the benefit of class interests is postponed in tho Senate to the next session, when by acts of corruption, it will probably prevail. Congress has destroyed the essence of free Government as represented iu parliamentary bodies by the habi? tual and constant use of the previous question, thus preventing full, fair and free discussion-the.very life, of Republican institutions. Cougress has brought disrepute upon the Government by secret mid? night conclaves of its members, like Guy Fawkes, with lantern in hand devising methods to destroy tho pre? rogatives of the President in respect, to the removal of public officers, In? vesting in an already usurping Senate what would prevent necessary re? movals, and thereby clothe tho Senate with almost unlimited power and influence. Congress has postponed the enact? ment of a bankrupt bill, which is de? manded by the great business inte? rests of tho country. Congress has assumed extraordi? nary powers as to foreign allai rs, of which it can know little, and proposes seriously to change our traditional policy und stable legislation to get votes of a class whom Republican politicians have been in the habit of denouncing as less entitled to suffrage than negroes. Congress transcends thc Constitu? tion and the rights of States in seek? ing to perpetuate Freedmen's Bu? reaus, Treasury cotton plundering operations, and organizations for the protended enforcement of civil rights m States. Congress has violated the spirit of that provision of tho Constitution which inhibits Congressmen from re? ceiving pecuniary benefit during their term from Acts passed by it. This is tho effect of the Act increasing their own salaries. Congress has been guilty of tho unexampled wrong of battening the measure for increasing their own sala? ries upon tho soldiers' bounty bill, making the latter measure carry tin? dead carcass of Congressional profli? gacy and personal cupidity. Congress, while greatly augment? ing the salaries of their personal favorites at thc Capitol for an average labor of less than two-thirds of tho year, have refused even a potty in? crease of per centage upon the pay of department officials, whose daily labor is severe, and lasts throughout the year. Their present salaries uro hardly sufficient for the support of families at present prices. The New York Tribune says, "it is notorious that the schools for freed? men (in the South) are only sato when defended by United State.? bay? onets." We scarcely know which most to admire the brazen impu? dence tliat can lio in this manner, or tho presumption upon the ignorance or prejudice of the people exhibited by its publication. Money caunot buy from a man his learning and talent, but it may bribe him to make a corrupt uso of them. [Prentice. .rho Atlantic Cable. Feaoe has achieved its great vic? tory. The laurels of the hosts of bat? tle pale in the presenoe of the majesty and beneficence of intellect and labor ennobled by the consummation of 'the grandest enterprise that the brain of man has conceived, and his hands have created. Even "while -war wai shaking the foundations of empire* and convulsing the political spheres of a coutinent, tho divinity of peace was joining the old world and now at the altar of civilization. And, as a happy omeu for tho future, tho first flashes of life through the iron veins of this new creation-in tho world oi science and industry tells thc glac tidings that old Europo trembles nt moro beneath the shbek of hostil( armies.

C.. in tho Times, of the 23d. He says that Beaufort contains from 1.500 to 2,000 white people, "almost all of whom are genuine Yankees-all rich, too-thauks to tho fato of war and tho existence of di? rect tax commissioners." Aftersomc preliminary remarks upon the nature and disposition of these people, ho goes on to say: I tell the readers of tho Times that Gens. Steedmau and Fullerton have not told half. These colored people have been swindled beyond all consi? deration; and if the Freedmen's Bu erau bill now before the House be? comes a law, God help tho coloreo men of tho South, say I. The most distinguished aud most successful of all theso negro robbers is a former chaplain, known as Father French, who has in tho past four years accumulated a quarter of a mil? lion of dollars in cash and real es? tate. Even the Northern people here, to a man, pronounce Father French the Tycoon of all tho robbers. He had Gen. Saxton completely under his control, and got him into bad repute. Ho was ordered away from tho auc? tion sales by the Direct Tax Commis? sioners, but managed to buy all the property he bid on, which was consi? derable. Gen. Saxton is a frightful fanatic, and while a Commissioner of Faeedmen did a world of harm. But the accountsof Gen. Saxton swindling the negroes are strictly untrue, asar?: also the reports of his being mixed up in the direct tax sales greatly ex? aggerated. The only case in the lat ter charge that can bc substantiated, is the fact that through his influence, he became possessed of thc; nu isl palatial mansion in Beau but for ? mere song. I have met several oj the warmest friends of Gen.
