OUR WAR MARR, We have issued another edition of the au merous maps, plins and diagrams of the ope- rations of the Union and rebel troops in Vir- givia, Missouri, Hlinois, Florida, and on the Missis- sippi and Missouri rivers, and it is now ready for delivery. Agents desiring copies are requested to send in their orders immediately. Single copies six cents. Wholesale price the same as for the Weaxiy Henarp. THE SITUATION. We publish to-day the official repors of the battle of Bullrun by Brigadier General McDowell, ad- Greased to the Commande: hief. Though it does not materially differ from the de- scriptions which we have previously given from our special correspondents and other sources, its details will be found highly interesting, and as an anthoritative statement of the battle will be received with satisfaction. He states that his report has been delayed in cousequence of the inability of the subordinate commanders to obtain @ true account of the state of their commands at an carlior moment. General McDowell represents the battle to have been won by his army at half-past three in the afternoon, but the arrival of Johnston's fresh troops by train at that tim® converted the victory into a disastrons rout—the Union troops being Worn out with the fatigue of 2 hard day's battle. Accounts heve reached Washington that the rebels arc committing terrible outrages in that portion of Virginia around Fairfux and Centreville, which they have obtained possession of since the battle of Ball rua, Neither age, nor sex, nor in- firmity is spared from insult and abuse. All thoge capable of bearing arms and refusing to do so are Bent a3 prisoners to Manassas or Richmond. ‘Tho division of General McClellan's army into brigades occupies the entire attention of the com- manding general, and demands the constant move- ment of all corps of the service on the line of the Potomac. Tt was observed yesterday that a large body of rebels, supposed to belong to General Johnston's command, were posted within two m.e8 of the Potomac shore, and a couple of miles @staut from Great Falls, where there is a ford that has been much used. The soldiers were no- ticed cutting a passage through the woods towards the river with axes, ‘Tho Union troops ia Missouri under Gen. Lyon had another affair on Friday last with the tebels commanded by Ben McCulloch at a place oalled Dug Springs, about nineteen miles southwest of Springfield, which resulted in the defeat of the rebels. It appears that it was only the United ‘States oavalry on the side of Gen. Lyon's command who were engaged, and a small body of two hur- dred and seventy of them made a splendid charge 0n a force of about four thousand rebel infantry, cutting their way through with the loss of only five men. The cavalry are said to have been crossing @ vidge of high land, partly enclosed on the east by a valley, and, when descending the hill, came upon a large force of the enemy's in- fantey, and being unable to retreat, they charged nd cut their way through. The lieutenant com- @anding the cavairy was killed after killing eight ofthe rebels. Meantime the enemy appeared in large numbers moving along the valley, but they Were put to flight by the artillery. The rebels retreated southward to a place called McCul- lough’s store, on the Fayetteville road. The num- ber of rebels found dead on the field amounted to forty, and some forty-four wounded were picked up. General Lyon is said to be strongly intrenched in close proximity to the enemy, and another battle #8 expected to take place very soon. . These facts, which reached us by telegraph from Bt. Louis yeaterday, wre confirmed by a despatch received by the President last night from General Fremont. The gallant and successful charge of the cavalry against so Jarge an opposing force may excite some surprise; but when we remember the charge of the six hundred British light cavalry at Balaklava, in the face of a terrific fire from the batteries, and upon a body of some six thousand Russians, the charge at Dug Springs is not without @ parallel, It ia true, however, that while the fa- mous charge in the Crimea resulted in disastrous Consequences to the cavalry, and was the upshot of @ terrible mistake; the charge at D > rife fire, one shell exploding in the hull of the Poirel aud sinking her instantly. The boats of the frigute were lowered, and picked up thirty-six out of forty of the privatecr’s crew, who were taken on board and placed in irons. The remaining four were drowned, She appears to have been com- manded by a South Carolina map, Captain Perry, and he, together with the others, seemed to be drunk when picked up. The United States frigate Wabash took possession of the schooner Mary Alice, with a rebel prize crew on board, on the 2d inst., and on the same day she also took the schoo- ner Sarah Star, a Southern vessel sailing under English colors and carrying a very valuable cargo. Both vessels have been sent ou to New Yorks. We learn from the Southern press that the re- port of the robel Secretary of War, just presented to the rebel Congress at Richmon, shows that one hundred and ninety-four regiments and thir battalions have already been accepted, bosites various detachments of artillery and companies of cavalry not yet made up into regiments. ‘The re- port has been sent into Congress for consideration in secret session, and it is said that the recommen- dations it mukes for a Jargo increase to the army will meet with some opposition, : se urges the acceptance and organization of thr “| hundred regiituts, si4-the ‘Pichm6nd papers ap- peur to think that the rebel Congress will pass & bill enabling Jefferson Davis to muke such on in- crense to the army as he may think necessary Mr. Toombs, of G 2, having resigned the tion of Sedretary of Stale in the Confederate government, Mr. tiunter, of Virg has been confirmed by the Senate at Richmond.

In the House of Commons, on the 25th, C, Wood made some financial explinations relative to India, and asked for discretionary power to bor- row £5,000,000 for railway purposes. He said the government had evinced great anxiety to develope the resources of India as a cotton producing coun- try. He believed that (he result would be that ultimately England would be rendered independent of America for cotton, ‘This year the supply of cotton from India would be about 300,000 bales more than ever before. The contemplated changes in the British minis- try were accomplished on the 25th ult., viz.:—Sir G. C. Lewis to the War Department; Sir George Gvey, Secaetary for Home Affairs; Mr. Cardwell, Chancellor of the Ducky of Lancaster; Mr. Layard, Secretary of Foreign Affairs. In London American securities had advanced, The Liverpool breadstuffs market was dull, with a downward tendency in prices. At Liverpool the cotton market was firm, at previously reported ratec.

The health of the city continued very fair.

They derive their informa- tion of our affairs mostly from Southern papers, although their trade is almost entirely with the North. ‘The law of Congress increasing the pay of non- commissioned officers aud privates makes the salaries of the men hereafter as follows:— Ordnance Sergeant First Sergeant Sergeant Artificer The rations are computed at nine dollars a month, and the clothing at about three dollara, or thirty- six dollars a yoar. When in actual service the soldier does not require the whole of his rations or clothing, and all that he docs not take he receives the cash value for. The annual pay of a private is now about three hundred and twenty-four dollars, with the prospect of a suitable reward at the close of the war.

Appearances in- dicate, however, that it will prove healthy and beneficial to (ie North, while it must culminate in disaster and ruin to the South. The sudden- ness and magnitude of the fiscal operations which the war has engendered, have demon- strated the almost inexhaustible resources of the non-slavelolding States, while, under the tyrannical and oppressive rule of Jefferson Davis and his fellow conspirators, taxation has assumed a shape so irregular and unprecedent- ed, that the most sanguine believers in a sepa- ration of the republic, stagger under the bur- | dens which have begun to be imposed. Sol- vency, with a vast reserve of resources, as yet vuched, are the guaranteo to the administra- on that it will beable to put a speedy end to treason, while insolvency, want of credit, and exhaustion, are all that the Richmond govern- ment car look forward to. Upon a great national and pairotic scale, the expenses of the war, will, for some time, con- siderably exceed a million of dollars per day. What then? Congress bas cheerfully yielded the money, and the new Tariff and Loan bills are about all that could be desired under the cir- cumstances. A loan is authorized to the extent of five hundred millions, of which half is called for at present. The holder of the stock that is to be issued will receive seven per cent for his money, and it is believed that the Treasury notes will be current at not far from par. These lat- ter may be given out of such smal) denomina- tions—fives, tens, and twenties, if needed—that they will speedily be absorbed into the currency of the country, and their presence will scarcely be felt. A large portion of them, moreover, will go back into the national Treasury in theshape of taxation. The Tariff and Direct Tax bilk, it is thought by the Secretary of the Treasury, will yield from ninety to a hundred millions ¢ dol- lars. The additional duties imposed on tea, coffee, sugar and arteite, atticles so suitable for the purr--<s of revenue, as has been proved by tne experience of Great Britain and France, will bring in, alone, over twenty-five millions, and the income tax of thirty millions will afford twenty millions more from the loyal States. Foreign commerce may somewhat dwia He, in view of the high duties imposéd on woollens, silks and iron; but the impetus that will be given to domestic manufactures and trade will more than compensate for ony loss in this direc- tion. One of the best features of late financial legislation, at Washington, is the virtual aboli- tion of the Sub-Trewury system, by enabling customs and taxes tobe paid in Treasury and bank notes, It is fittiig, ina commercia URSUA of the reign of the’ old Sub-Treasury law was absolutely needed to prevent financial derange- ments, and it will meet with general approval. The history of the wars of Great Britain with France, under Napoleon I, affords some parallel to what may be expected in the United States, if any considerable time should elapse ere ve- hellion is definitely crushed out. The debt of the nation will be augmented greatly; but the commerce of the world will be open to us; manufactures will receive an impulse such as has never before been dreamed of; the money ex- | pended to continue hostilities will be poured back inio our own coffers; and a high degree of pros perity will be arrived at. Meanwhile the adver- sary with which the loyal States are contending will lose, just in proportion to our gain. A prodigions avocunt of Treasury notes will be poured forth upon the Confederate States by the Richmond authorities; but a single con- iderable reverse to the arms of the insurree- tioniata will render them irredeemable and Worthless, The cotton, sugar, rice and tobacco which have accumulated in Southern warehouses and plantations, it is supposed, will be bought up by the rebel goverument and paid for in this paper trash, in hopes that the merchandise itself’ may be disposed of to foreign nations for solid cash. This will, however, prove a delusive ex- pectation. Every port, from the Rio Grande to Cape Henlopends effectas'ty blockaded, and if ar outlet for slave” State products is opencd at all, it will be by Northern armies, after they shall have been confiscated, and the sums re- ceived for thera will go into the “federal Trea- sury, The war may give a temporary impetus to some species of Southorn mannfactares; but, unlike the North, they will be only to supply a limited population with indispensable articles that cannot be obtained elsewhere. France, under Napoleon, had at least the Continent for a market, while England controlled the ocean; but the uthern States will be hermetically sealed from intercourse with ali of the natious of the world. Rebellion can never maintain itself under such adverse circumstances, but must, in the ond, be starved into submission. They err greatly who imagine that the people will shrink from continuing the contest to pre- he integrity of the Union, on account of the expease. The administration never was more sure of popular support than it is now, and the provisions that have been made for the immediate future by Congress, commead them- selyos to general approbation. serve Conprvion or THE Worxixe Criasses—Dema- aoaves av Work.—We see that efforts are being mede to stir up the working men of this city to a disturbance of the public peace, under the pretence of extorting trom the authorities a guarantee of what some are pleased to term, “the rights of labor.’* The movement originates with a amall knot af restless agitators, who are eager to profit by any unusual excitement in ithe public mind to force themselves into notice. It might inspiro some uneasiness if it really emanated from the working men themselves, or had a foundation in aggravated suffering. Its authors, however, are known to have but few interests in common with the hard working operative, and but little actual sympathy for him. They aro for the most part idlers and loafers, who despise labor and those who have the manliness to live by it. The character of these men is well exemplified by a sentiment uttered by a speaker at one of their meetings:— “Aw far as regarded work,” he said, “he did not care a great deal for it, but they must devise means to make themselves comfortable.” ‘This is the whole point involved in the move- ment. Tta promoters want, under cover of al- loged sufferiag among our operatives, to com- pel the government to supply them with the means of living a life of laziness and idleness- They will not, however, succeed in making men of our city. The latter must feel that their statemonts have but little foundation in truth, and that, even supposing them to be correct, there is no plan devisable by human ingenuity which can “guarantee the existence and welfare of the laborer.” The experiment of the State’s supplying work to carry out this theory was tried in France in 1848, under the direction of Louis Blane, and only contributed to plunge the working classes into greater misery than before. It can never by any possibility be at- tended with success, for it is at war with natu- ral laws, which forbid any interference with the free course of labor. But there is no justification for even an elee- mosynary appeal on the part of our operativer So far from there being any truth in the state- mevt that there are forty thousand of them out of employment, there are probably but a few hundred more than is usual at this time of the year. The majority of our large manufacturers, where they could not give full work, have made it a point to continue their hands at three-quar- ters or half time. The requirements of our army have besides opened up many new branches of industry and given employment to vast num- bers who would otherwise have been idle. That there is anything like extreme destitution or suffering among them we do not believe. If there be, howevor, it is their own fault. No man need starve or let his family want who is capa- ble of shouldering’ & miskef, Fo ingrsiog bounties and pay voted by Congress will, with his rations, place the common soldier in a bet- ter condition than many a clerk on whose edu- cation thousands have been spent. And then he has this additional spur to his ambition, that he may rise to the position of a brigadier or general, like many of the selfsmade men who are now at the head of our army. There is no reason why he may not even become a sort of republican Napoleon, provided he has brains adequate to his aspirations.

The Kttttade of the French Emperor To- Wards the United States. The important letter which we published yesterday from our Paris correspondent fully bears out our former intelligence from the cap- ital of the French empire,—that it ie the inten tion of Louis Napoleon to break the blockade of the Southern coast and to acknowledge the independence of ihe Confederate States. Ow correspondent remarks that England and the whole of Europe will follow suit. The Patrie, the semi-official organ of the Emperor, fore- shadows his policy, as ii: has always done here- tOfore. Now that journal says, “all statesmen in Europe acknowledge that the South has an undoubted right to secede;” and it adds that “the South can never again enter the Union.” We are farther informed that “the same journal notices President Lincoln’s Message in a most hostile and bitter tone.’ When to this we add that the President recently refused to submit to Congrees the correspondence of the French and English governments with the American Secre- tary of State on the subject. of our domestic troubles, on the ground that it would not be for the public interest to do so; and when we further add that Prince Napoleon, the Emperor’s cou- sin and confidential agent, is here now in the midst of the dog days, enduring almost the heat of purgatory, while secretly taking notes and ascertaining the relative military and finan- cial strength of the Noyth ona Suu uw a view to report to his fw y, there is abundant reason for vm. The Prince has seen the Northern stuosmen at Washington, has viewed our camps, formed his opinion about the quality and numbers of our troops, and has heard atl about the battle of Bull run from our side. He will probably soon visit the Southern camps and statesmen, and hear what the other side has to say about the vic. tory it has: won, and what are iis hopes and prospects for the future. It is extremely probable that England—in view of the fact that she has something to lose on this continent in the event of a collisioa with the United States, and that the Emperor of the French has nothing to lose, if he haa not some” thing to gain by the quarrel—has induced him to take the lead in acknowledging the independ- ence of the revolted States, and in breaking the blockade which now closes their principal ports. She will, of course, follow in his wake. The consideration for his thus leading the attack is the concession to hig of some advantage in Enrope—perhaps her consent that he should have the island of Sardinia, upon which he has long set a covetous eye. England knows that Canada would be in imminent danger if she were the first to provoke hostilities at the bands of the American people, and, therefore her plan is that France should undertake the is jeb for the common benefit. Both want cotton: from all appearances it is highly probable that the South will purchase the friendship of both by proclaiming free trade. It is stated that immense quantities of cotton are being bought up at the South by citizens of France and England, and that Southern mer- chants are now making large purchases of goods in the French and English markets, on the understanding that the blockade is to be broken this full, As our correspondent well observ: the sympathy of the French and English people with the North is one thing; what their govern- ments, influenced by the commercial spirit will do, is quite another thing. In addition to the interest of the French mer- chant snd manufacturer in the South, in com- mon with the English irader, the French govern- ment has a special interest in the article of tobacco. From the import of this commodity it derives an enormous revenue by giving a | monopoly of its sale to certain parties whose rs | agents have been purchasing it in Virginia arer dupes of the honest and intelligent working | since the war broke out, just as they did befor All know that the people of France, like the heavily taxed that it is almost impossible for their rulers to add another dollar; and if the ; revenue onany important branch of imports should fail, the government wonld break down | in their financial affairs and become bankrupt. Tobaeco is, therefore, as essential to France as cotton is to England. Both articles are alike needed to prevent revolution in those countries. The design of the Confederate government is to say te those European Powers so soon as the cotton and tobacco crops accumlate in the prin- cipal depots, “Your people need these products, and they must have them. Without them they would make a revolution. Your own reyenueim- peratively demands their import. We are ready to sell them to you if you will come and take them with your ships. A Northern government, whom the Southern States no longer acknowledge, and.who no longer possess a shadow of do- miniou therein, say you shall not get a pound of cotton or tobacco through our seaports. Will you permit them to prevent you?” The French Emperor, consulting the interests of France alone, and delighted, in common with England, to see our great républic broken up, will probably, lend a willing car to this appeal, and the result of the battle near Manassas June" tion will be seized upon as his apology for dis- regarding the intergsts of @ friendly govern ment, The question now 43, af the Afetican people prepared to yield this point to France without a struggle?
