It appears that the threats of at- ‘ack both above and below the capital have been nere feints, the main point being from Manassas. But the means of speedy transport being in their aands, the rebel troops could in a few hours be vwncentrated either at Leesburg or Aquia Creek, and so finish on either or both ends a battle begun wm the centre, General McClellan has issued a special order for he better observance of the Sabbath among the ailitary forces, stating that no unnecessary move- snents shall bo made on that day. From a paper of strong secession principles, published in the West, a report of the defeat of the pebel General Floyd is made public. The Union droops were 2,000 strong with six pieces of can- ton, while the rebels numbered two thousund five aundred and had three times the quantity of artil- ery. The result of an engagement was a defeat af the rebels with heavy lors, leaving 280 priso- vera, two canvon and a large quantity of arms and ammunition in the hands of the Union treops. A despatch from General Rosencrans, dated at Button, Va., gives information of the welfare of those under his conmand.

For the purpose of exhibiting the immense im- portance of the recent operations on the North Carolina coast, and of the late news from Hatteras and Ocracoke Inlets, we publish to-day a map of the coast-line and of the interaal waters of that State, accompanied by an article giving interesting details of the navigation and export trade of that region. The latest news from that coast is thatthe defences to Ocracoke Inlet have been abandoned by the rebels and occupied by our troops, and that citizens of North Carolina were flocking in to give proof of their loyalty and devotion to the country, The next operation will be to retake possession of Fort Macon, and it is not improbable that the Cumberland, Susquehanna and other ves- sels of the expedition are before it to-day, and that the result of their presence there will be the sur- render of the fortand the occupation, by our troops, of Beanfort. We should not be surprised if, within a week, the whole coast of North Carolina were brought hack again within the jurisdiction of the federal government. THE NEWS. ‘The various rumors in regard to the demise of the President of the bogus confederacy have not yet been verified by any authentic information from Richmond. The majority of the people in the North do not seem to care a button whether Mr. Davis is really dead, or whether he is still in the land of the living, but idle curiosity scems to prompt the asking of thousands of questions touching the truth or falsity of the reports con- | cerning him that have been in circulation for the | last few days, Without attempting to prove these rumors fulse or true, we will state the fact that Mr. Davis has been sick for a couple of years past- At the close of the first session of the Thirty-sixth Congress, in 1860, he came North for the benefit ‘of his health, and after delivering a few strong stump speeches in the Eastern States in favor of the Union, and travelling about for five or | six weeks, he returned to his home in Mississippi Rot much improved. While he held his seat in the United States Senate last winter he was at times unable to go to the Capitol, and on his arrival in Richmond in the spring from Alabama he was very feeble, and about three weeks ago he was prostrated on a bed of sickness. ‘The rebel Con- gress had passed a resolution to adjourn on the 19th of August; but, as we learned at the time from the Richmond papers, it was induced to held over in consequence of the dangerous illness of the President. The body accordingly held toge- ther until Saturday, the 3ist ult., when they ad- journed sine die. The accounts agree that Davis died on the Monday following, and on Tues- | day morning a proclamation appeared,” jas if coming from the President him- self, calling Congress together again. The reason given for this sudden convocation, | it appears to us, is about the most flimsy that could which it is entitled, the reader, we think, will nata- clonk to cover up something intended to be with- | held trom the knowledge of the people. from the Richmond Dispatch of Tuesday last:— lish this morning the proclunation of President } Hing Congress together this day in the Capitol, jon of this proclamation is simply what is stated thy to the failure to deliv 11 passed by Congress an- pointiments made by him in the military and nayal luring the recess of Congress, or the present session, and to submit them to Cong itsnext session.” ‘This, aud thia only, is the cane of convening Congress to-day The “neutrality” secessionists of Kentucky have | found a new dodge.

The Democratic State Convention, which has just closed its labors at Syracuse, has placed that party upon a revolutionary platform, and in the ninth resolution—which will be found elsewhere—they have openly declared them- selves the allies of the South and promulgated the heresy of the secessionists as their creed, In deélaring the independence of the States, they have boldly advanced to the States right doc- trine that has so extensively poisoned the Southern mind and prepared them to believe that they owe allegiance first to their own State and afterwards to the general government. It is this doctrine, promulgated by the Southern leaders, that paved the way for the extensive conspiracy against the constitution and govern- ment. Itis not to be wondered at, therefore, that the secession organs of this clty are in ecstacies over its adoption. They declare that resolution enough for any party. a The Democratic Convention has not disap” pointed any one. Its leaders are the allies of the South; but, to be popular with the peo- ple, they have started out with the declaration in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war, which they follow with resolutions for tying the hands of the government and preventing the administration from doing the very thing that they demand shall be done in the first three resolutions of their platform, thus virtually planting themselves on an anti-war platform. In order to please the people they cry for war, but more than counteract that by the restric tions which they demand shall be placed upon the power of the administration. The abo- litionists and secessionists are the only parties that claim State authority to be superior to the national. The former pass their State laws or Personal Liberty bills to prevent the execution of the laws of Congress, and place themselves in open defiance of the United States authorities. The advocates of secession openly declare that they will not obey the federal officers unless they happen to be of their kind, and carry oug their doctrine by first passing secession ordi- nances, then by taking up arms against the go- vernment. Both are, therefore, sticklers for | the superiority of the States, and are alike ene- mies to the country. The late Democratic Con- vention went as far as they dared upon the secession doctrine, and have promulgated a re- volutionary platform, which, if carried into effect, will inaugurate civil war in our own State, from the banks of Sandy Hook to the Falls of Niagara. As to the protest of the Convention against the suspension of the habeas corpus, against govern- ment police, passports and suppression of the circulation’ of offending journals, it would do very well in times of peace, but is not in the least applicable in times of war like the preseat, We are plunged into a civil war of no smai! dimen- | sions-—a war that threatens the very existence og the gevernment—and it becomes necessary for | the government to strengihen its own hands by adopting all the rules applicable to war to pre- | vent the overthrow of the constitution. When ted the New Orleans edi- tor, in 1815, for publishing an article stirring up mutiny, and afterwards refused to obey the writ of habeas corpus, he acted for the good of the couatry, and subs ntly received the en- dorsement of the people. ‘The fact of the mat- every party, and nominate their own ticket, based upon the vigorous prosecution of the war by land and sea, and pledged to strengthen the government, and they will be able to rid themselves of the woeful influence of the party tricksters, by sweeping them out of existence and burying them so deep that no resurrection will ever again bring them to the surface. Such a victory would be one worthy of the people of the Empire State, and as important to the future prosperity of the nation as the sup- pression of the rebels under Jeff. Davis, now in arms against the wisest and freest govern- ment known to the civilized world. Glimpses of the Campaign from South- ern Points of View. It is not our intention to publish the opera, tions of our army in advance or to describe our generals’ plans, for that would be giving aid and comfort to the enemy ; but’ to lay before the reader what the Southern army is doing or intends to do, as far as can be ascertained from the Southern journals, is a ‘different matter, That is perfectly legitimate. To-day we publish some highly interesting extracts, from which glimpses may be seen of the present and the fature. Nor are these extracts without their lessons of ‘instruction to the North. It is wise to take a lesson even from the enemy. r It appears from a letter to the New Orleans Delia that it is the intention of the Southern generals to ocoupy Baltimore as winter quarters this fall, in order to secure shelter and supplies for the large and needy force they now com- mand on the other side of the Potomac. We are told that to advance into Maryland is a duty they owe to that State in order to emanci- pate her from federal thraldom, and that the main consideration is not whether that is practi- cable—for it is assumed that it is—but what po- litical effect it may have at the North—whether thusiasm than did even the capture of Fort Sumter. It seems that there are two parties at the South, one of whom encourages the crossing of the Potomac, and the other keeping strictly on the defensive. But from present appear- ances it would seem that the party favoring in- vasion of the North are in the ascendant, and will force the generals to try their hand in Maryland; and if that should prove a success, then in Pennsylvania, and perhaps New Jersey and New York, to say nothing of Massachusetts and Bunker Hill. It turns out, however, that the Southern troops who are to make this grand forward movement are in a ratheF destitute 4 condition tor winter clothing, and that the rigors ofa Northern winter would speedily use them up unless they soon obtain supplies. But that is no easy matter, considering the rebel government are without money or credit. In the meantime the great hope of the South is European intervention, which, it is believed, would bring all their troubles to a speedy end. That, however, is a vain hope; and, if realized, it would only prove the beginning of sorrows. Some interesting particulars are given of the camp in the West, to which the Southern journals —atiach more importance than we apparently do at the North. Ac- cording to Kentucky paper, the true line of operatioas and the only successful 4 ni way of invading the South is through Ken- aa bets pte democratic politictuns, although de- tucky and Tennessee, by way of the Cumberland claring for the war, have shown by their owa \ Gap.

He declares that the blockade cannot be made efficient, but he warns the South that it cannot be broken. Altogether, John is about as libe- ral of his contemptuous sympathy for the South as for the North. His advice cannot be called cheerful or encouraging by either party; but at any rate it is impartial. Poor old John! Defeats and troubles have spoiled his naturally fine temper and made him bilious. The loss of his military prestige in the Crimea has made him sore on the subject of armies; and. the financial triumphs of the French, coupled with the commercial triumphs of the United States, have touched him in his really weakest spot—the pocket. He bas sense enough to see that the developement of indus” try and agriculture in this country has trans- ferred the sceptre of trade from London to New York; he groans—and no wonder—at the ex- change remaining against England for a whole year together. John does not like to be send- ing us forty millions of gold per annum instead of receiving a like sum; and he scolds as rogues do when they are compelled to pay their tailor. But let him take courage. Matters are not so bad here as he fancies. We shall send him, one of these days, some news which will gladden his kindly sympathetic old heart. He needs consolation, no doubt. He knows what those ten new steel plated French frigates are intend- ed for, and he knows that the workingmen of England will not submit much longer to be unrepresented. He sees the future dark and lowering : visions of democratic uprisings, avis it may not arouse it into greater ardor.and en- } tocratic collapses, foreign invasions, the loss of trade, the decay of industry owing to French and American competition, the decline of na- tional income and national credit, disturb his sleep. But let him not despair, Things may mend. Those are nice little islands of his (though the climate is bad for the temper), and if the worst comes to the worst, we will never let poor old John go to the wall for the sake of a friend. A Ricarrovs Vernicr as Far as re Gors.— We clip the following paragraph from one of our Western exchanges:— Owen Lovnioy’s Pare Paesssrep.—Tho Burean County Republican, How, Owen Tovejoy’s paper, printed at Prine ton, Ilineis, recently published an offensive abolition arti- clo upon the war, and upon Colone!

Brady, 24 Ann streot, Ne asda ‘The impression is general among critics and the ing public that Charles Diokgns, in his latter pada failed to exhibit those powers as & writer which estab lished his reputation in ,the earlier period of his career. Ttas bee charged that the humor which, in his Plekwlok jan creations, once so distinguialed him has ceased toflow, that he is wanting ip that pathos which was 80 couspicw ous in “The Old Ouriosity Shop” and in certain ‘passages @ “Oliver Twist; that his descriptive scones and dialogues have become commonplace, and that he has even ccasor to become original, and is constantly reproducing in eagd successive work the charaeters with which his readen are familiar in his former efforts. While there ia some truth in these criticisms, it ia eortain that the blemish which undoubtedly pervade several of his later work: have been much exaggerated. It is possible that, having achieved fame and acquired a handsome compytenco, thi once unknown writer can now affurd to rest upon his laurels, and, satisfled with the glory he has wom has become careless in his compositions, which may account for the deficiencies complained of in ‘“ Little Dorrit’ and “ A Tale of Two Cities,” and with which he is chargdd by some in his latest work, “Great Expects. tions.’? Tt is.a well known fact that some of ‘the previous. writ, ings of the great novelist were far from satisfying himsolf and it is even asserted that, 80 convinced was be of defects, he promised, on announcing the fi of the present work, it would be something worthy of bim than its immodiate prodecesaors, That was capable of fulfilling this promise, if such had bees \ made, was evident to those who believed that his recenr falling off had been the result of carelessness rather thas the effect of a loss of mental power, The title @ ‘Great Expectations,’ therefore, fully accorded with the feeling that was arousod in those who knew and ap preciated his genius. Now that the work is completed the question arises: have these expectations been realized Perhaps none of the works of Dickens have given rist to greater diversity of opinion as to their merit than thi one under notice, On the one” hand, ‘Great Expects tious” has been lauded in the most extrayagant manner and on the other, ithas been the subject of the mom merciless criticism. The truth seems te lie between these two extremes. While there is unquestionable unity of de sign and an amusing diversity of characters all clustering around the hero, and contributing to the final catastrophe wo look in yain for thoge fine touches of nature which lent such acharm to some of his previous works, an¢ which contributed, more than oven his sterling humor it sclf to establish Dickens’ reputation, At tho same time, while the tendency to caricatare—which has always bees ove of this writer's chief Ulemishes—peeps out here aud there, it is not so immoderately indulged in ag in some of his previous works. Still {t {8 evident, jn several pas sages, that he struggled hard with tho tendency, and could only repress it by an effort which he has been un- able to conceal. A good feature in the tale is the absence of that con- tinual play upon particular forms of phraseology whick. so much distigures some of his writings, particw larly “Little Dorritt,” whore, at the yery commence; ment of tho story , he seizes hold of the word ‘ winking,” and serves It up a toute sauce, in a manner that would not haye been tolerated in a loss able writer. There are many other instances of this torturing of language which will strike the mind of those who have read his works with ordinary attention, It is: pleasant to find bim dis! carding such puerilities, which are unworthy of hig genius. ‘On the whole, we must confess that we had not very ‘great expectations’ of this work, aud we have not been disappointed. While it is superior to “ Little Dor” ritt’? and “ A Tale of Two Cities,” it is fur below «David. Copperfield” or even “ Bloak House.’ It is.a revival with: out a reinvigoration.

Mr. Trollope’s inst story is, we think, one of his boat. Thore is sufficiént ingenuity in the plot to keep the cu, riosity of the reader on the qui ving without ita vorging on the melodramatic, The characters are naturally and easily drawn, and the denouement is roached without any of those violent efforts which spoil the effect of some of the author’s former tales.

This. novel, although by what is callod @ sensation au- thor, is superior not only to his former works, but to the general ayerage of stich produetions, It is highly dra- matic, the situations are well inanaged, and the plot is legitimately worked out.

It is small in yolume, and can be carried evsily in the pocket; yet, 80 far as we can judge, it exhausts thoroughly the subject of military hygiene.
