_-our army, Some of the regiments were swept away at the Seven Pines.” Further on they say:—* The regular Eleventh infantry is about annibilated.

We answer the fadicals, with Mr. Chase at the head and Greeley at the tail, influencing the War Depart- ‘ment to reduce McClellan’s army, divide it, wand have it cut up in detail, first in the valley ef the Shenandoah, and then at Richmond. Who are responsible for the vast amount of Dlood that has been needlessly shed? The ra- dicals, including Greeley, who hurried on the army to its destruction at Bull run, and would have destroyed it a eccond time at Manassas and Centreville, These treacherous disunion- sts told the world the rebels bad but a hand- ful of men, that McClellan’s army was entirely too large, and that he could at any timo ad- ‘vance and capture the whole rebel army if he hose. Who are responsible? The blood ct the heroes and martyrs falling in the cause of the country on the banks of the Chickahominy tries to Heaven as a swift witness of their quilt; and the time is not distant when the ‘ation will hold them to account. Genera, Burien axnp THE NicocEr.—It ap. pears that General Butler has written to Wash- ington for specific instructions about runaway megroes coming to his camp. All the instruc- _ tions that are needed may be dictated by ordi- @ary common sense, and it is totally unneces- wary to ask the President or Secretary of War ‘any questions on the subject. The simple eourse to be pursued is to do nothing, and just ‘to act es if the fugitives were so many idle ‘white vagabonds. If any worthless, lazy ne- “gtoes think proper to run away from their mas- ‘ter, who is bound to supp rt them, is their sup- Port to fall upon the government? If they want to be free, kt them go and work for a Jiving. “The army has nothing to do with them: ‘and ought not to have. Suppose a countless nultitude of Southern white men, women and children’ should come to the lines of is it the business of the ‘army to take charge of them, feed, clothe nd defend them, and provide them ‘with transportation from place to place. The ¢hing is absurd on theface of it. If the army could not embarrass itself with wifite vagrants, ‘how much less can it afford to become encum- ‘bered with the same class of blacks—a more Qelpless race. Frequently it isas much as the army can do to feed and take care of itself. Whe course of General Phelps in inviting gunaway negroes to his camp is therefore clearly wrong, and deserves to be more se- qwerely reprimanded than the proclamation of General Hunter. The business of the army is @ ficht ang defeat the rebels in the field, aild fet the negro alone, When the insurgent ar- guies are whipped, then the question of the Gingosal of the negro may be in order; now it is clearly out of order, and is only calculated to ambarrass the government and the operations of the army, while it cannot be attended with the wlightost practical good effect. . Crry Poxrnios,—.The office seekers and spoils ep this city are exceedingly busy hold- g their caucuses and laying their plaus for the fall elections. They are laboring under the pretence of building up their party, but in feality to enable themselves to walk into some office. The old political parties are divided Anto as many factions as there are candidates Gor office, none of them representing the peop'e, and in no circumstances can they speak for any person except those .political idlers that follow in the wake of some candidate and do ‘his bidding. Thus we have in Tammany Hall half « dozen “Rings” fighting each other, be- fides several other combinations which con- sider themselves the original Jacobses of that eoncern, al! keepigg up an incessant clatter . about the power and virtue of the Old Wigwam, which simply means that there are so many Pandidates for certain offices—no more and no fess. Mozart Hall isin precisely the same con- ition, the aspirants for office forming inside binations without number; and the same tay be said in regard to the republican party ‘and all other organizations that imagine they are of any importance. In all these movements the public interest oes not have the least consideration; ft is sim- ly a squabble for the spoils and a desperate Caves to secure offices with fat salaries. It will gmake no difference which are suceessful, the public interest will be -the last served, and be gure to suffer. Their own movements have got fnatters into such condition that a dozen or ore of the “Rings” and combinations will Pave 10 ute before they will have strength gnough to give any candidate a respectable support, much less to-elect a candidate to office. Howr wrra Tarm Ows Petanv.—The aboli- ion radicals succeeded in rushing o bill Ahrough Congress some time ago authorizing the President to appoint army officers to what- ever commands he pleased, irrespective of their tank, services or standing in the service. This ill was passed for the express purpose of al- lowing’ the President to supersede General lellan by General Fremont, whenever he gould be prevailed upon to doso. The President ‘did not see the bill in that light, however, and tho first tse he made of the power it confer- | ‘ved was to appoint, not Fremont over McClel- Jan, but Pope, a subordinate in rank, over Fremont. This was commending the poisoned chalice to the radical abolitionists’ own lips ‘with a vengeance. Like unskilful engineers, they were hoist with their own petard, and Fremont’s resignation of his command finished ‘them decidedly. Suicide at Fort Hamilton, ’ Fort Hamintow, June 80, 1862, Sergeant William Ross, Quartormaster Sergeant of the Fifth regiment of artiliory, commitied suicide this even- ‘at Fort Hamilton, by cutting his throat with a razor.

IVPORTANT FROM WASHINGTO,' Reported Intervention of Foreign Powers in Our Domestic Affairs. The Government Notified that the War Must Cease, General Sigel Appointed to the Command of General Fremont’s Corps, Appointments Confirmed by the Senate, Bey Ren ae Wasuinaron, June 80, 1862. BEFORTED INTERVENTION OF FOREIGN POWERS DY AMBRIOAN AFFAIRS. It4s understood that the government has been notified, Dy the Ministers of two leading European Powers, that the war mast be immediately brought toanend. A fact of thie sort demonstrates the hypocrisy of the Powers in question, which have heretofore put forth the idea that there would be no intervention if there was a reasonable Prospect of crushing out the rebellion. 1t seems, how- ever, that the advice of a British quarterly has been fol- lowed—that intervention should only take place when it should become apparent that the rebellion was about to proves failure, It will be gratifying to the Union men of the country to know that the administration is a unit against the world in arms for the preservation of our whole country. TEE POLICY OF FRANCE IN MEXICO AS STATED BY THE MONITEUR. Is is rumored in diplomatic circles that the official paper of the French government, the Moniteur, will shortly publish an article on the Mexican question, stat- fog that the idea of forclng a king upon the Mexican people does not at all enter in the policy puraued by France in Mexico; but that the choice of a ruler will be entirely left to the national will, with which the French government does nos intend to interfere. GENERAL SIGRL APPOINTED TO THE COMMAND OF FREMON1’S CORPS. General Rufus King has declined the command of tho corps d’armee recently commanded by General Fremont, preferring to remain at the head of the brigade which he hasso carefully disciplined and brought to a bigh state of efficiency. Genoral Sigel has been assigned to the corps lately under Fremont’s command. | GENERAL POPE'S STAFF, ETO. Captain George D.

Members of Congress are constantly receiving letters asking fer copies of the Tax bill; but several days will elapse before they are printed. As many questions are asked as to how appointments of collectors and assessors under the Tax Dill will be made, from what can bo learned it is understood the Pre- sident will adopt the principle pursued in the case of postmasters in the cities and large towns generally, but not inevery instance on the recommendation of mem- bers of Congress.

THE STEVENS BATTERY, ‘The Naval Committees of both houses are about to bring in bilis conformable to the last proposition of Mr. Stevens, in regard to his battery. They regard tho proposition as very fair, and prosenting no possibility of Joss to the government, As the former appropriation is regarded as having lapsed on the report of the Secretary of the Navy, it will be necessary to make another appropriation to pay the amount of the cost of the vessel, when completed at Mr. Stevens’ expense and found to bean efficient steam battery. In the present aspect of affhirs there is an increasing desire that this battery should be secured to our government, if only to Prevent its becoming, after its completion, the property of some foreign power.

J The Fourth of July recess has been much canvassed to-day. Members of the House are anxious to adjoura ‘at three o’clock on Thursday until tho following Tuesday; but aa this will require the consent of the Senate, the recess will probably be only from Thursday te Monday. @RANTING LEAVE OF ABSENCE. No application for leave of absence te the Secretary of War will receive attention, Adjutant General ‘Thomas is at present authorized to consider and answer Such applications, : TAB RADICALS IN A PERPLEXING PREDICAMENT. The radicals are sorely troubled by the recent turn of affairs. They compelled, a little while ago, the passag® of a law empowering the President to place in command of our armies any officer, without re ard to seniority of rank. This was intended to benefit Fremont, and enable Mr. Lincoln to make him Commander-in-Chief in the Place of General McClellan, The law has operated against the pet of the radicals, and has been the means of placing General Pope over Fremont, and driving the latter into obscurity. The particular friends of Fremont do not know whether they should be most inconsed at him for the course he has pursued, of at the adminis tration for having placed him in the position from whicn he was thus eompelled to retire, ARRIVAL OF SICK AND WOUNDED SOLDIERS, ‘The steamers Louisiana and Arrowsmith arrived here yeatorday, bringing all the sick and wounded from White House, on the Pamunkey river. Among them are the wounded officers and men of the fight of Thursday afternoon, IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ARMY NEWSPAPER DEALERS.

Parson Brownlow lectured between two and three hours to-night before a dense auditory at Ford's theatres on the subject of secession. He was introduced by Representative Maynard, who stated that the gentieman yielded to the request of a reciety of ladies who are devoting themselves tothe care of sick and wounded soldiers, and now appeared to address a public meeting in ald of the good cause, and to secure additions] means for that purpose, As was said of Henry Clay,he has a mouth that speaks for itself. When Brownlow roso to speak he was greeted with deafening cheers. In his preliminary remarks he said:-— Four years ago he was suflering from 4 stubborn aud un- yielding attack of bronchitis, 804s tobe unableto be heard at any reasonable distance in public address. Two years ago he procecded to New York and placed himself under Professor Horace Green, not Horace Greeley. (Laughter.) Though the names sound alike they differ in their = profeasions very materially. Taking leave of Green, the latter shook him cor- dially by the hand, and advised him, as a remedy for his disease, to declaim daily in the woods, having for his audience the birds of the air and beasts of the forest. This, however, did not prove sufficiently imtecesting. Being a member of a temperance society, in which to labor was a goo w rk, be mi speech: a un that subject; and, beivg a privat in the chureh, preached brief sermons cecasionaliy. At this point Brownlow exclaimed to persons fn the aiairs, * Gentlemen, come upon the stage. Hereare soats for you. I will not contaminate your skirts with secession. Bring the ladies aleo with you if they are on the side of the Union, (Laughter and cries of Good egg,” ‘Go it, Parson”) He continued:—Don’t intro- duce a secesaion woman, for a secession woman South bas more devils than Mary Magdalen had, (Laughter and applause. The crowd’ in the aisles mounted to the stage, among them several members of Congress.) As I was saying 1 occasionally delivered short sermons. A volce—What church do you belong to?” The miscrable Methodist church South, that’s going hellwarde— (laughter and applause)—but when I return I intend to set up my own chorch in East Tenuesses. Every- body knows that to advocate the dovtrines of tho Bible and of John Wesley, as well as to engage in the tomperance cause is @ good work; yet these fuilal to re. store my voice. (A voice “You have it now.”) The Parson then proceeded to tell how be recovered his voice by making Union speeches. THIRTY-SEVENTH CONGR FIRST SESSION, Senate. Wasuixaron, June 80, 1862.

Mr. Hicxuam, (rep.) of Pa., asked that the Committee qn the Judiciary be discharged from the consideration of the article in the New York Tribune with reference to the Intelligencer printing job, and the subject was, at his instance, referred to @ select committee. The reason assigned for this request was that the Judiciary Com- mittee had not time to attend to ap examination of the matter. SUI CANAL FROM LAKE MICHIGAN TO THE MISSISSIPPI. ‘The House then resumed the consideration of the bill for the construction of a ship canal for the Passage of armed and naval vessels (rom the Mississippi river to Lake Michigan, Mr. Buam, (rep.) of Mo., in advocating the bill, sald wecannot calculaie on the good feeling and fricudship of Great Britain. That government has a rancorous hate towards us, and she wili seek any pretext to strike down her great commorcial rival. The veople themselves, however, of that country, are not thia influenced. He alluded to the recent debate in the English Parliament, not with a hope of removing prejudices, but to show that it devolves upon us not to rely on tho triendship of any foreign Power, but upon our own power and re- sources alone, Mr. ARNOLD, (rep.) of Ill., referred to t2e fact that, while tho Atlantic coast ia defended by fortitications and the navy, nothing has yet been done for the. North- ern takes, He showed that the work contemplated was the most important which has ever been presented to the consideration of Congress. He incidentatly remark- ed that tho improvemeut has been more than haif accom- plished by the State of lilinois, whieh State haa ex- pon’ ed six millions upon it. Mr. Exy, (rep.) of N. Y., eaid_the present amendment proposed to the bill before the House appropriates three aad a half mit jons of doliars for ths purpose of effecting sich an enlargement of the locks of the Erie Caval as will permit the passage from tho Atlantic waters to lakes Ontario and Erie, and therefore to all the uppor Jakes of the great St. Lawrence basin, for war vessels of the size and construction of the Monitor, whose feats in Hampton Roads have so recently excited the surprise and admiration of the world. Or, in other words, the ob.ect te be effected by this small appropriation to establish @ water communication entirely within our own territory, and completely under our own protection, Letwoun our naval resources ou the Atlantic cosst and these nerthward and northwestward internal seas, whore we are retrained by treaty stipulationsfrom Maintaining any navy whatever. Of the commerce of these internal soas we not know which most to admire—its rapid growth, ita prosent groatucas or the boundless expansion which awaits it im the assured future. Often as it has been the theme of enthusiastic eloquence, the event has never failed to outstrip prophecy. While we are endeavoring to the Agures of its volume, as the years succes- sively rollon, we find it so much greater with each re- volving twelve months that the past does little to enable us to comprehend the present or to anticipate. The grounds upon which the appropriation is asked for are Stated in the memorial to the President, propared by the eminent citizen of New York, Hon. Samuel B. Ruggles, to whom that duty was wiscly assigned. His memo- rial, which will command perusal equally from his igh reputation as fem his admirable. abill. ty, eon printed and placed in the hands of every member of this House. After showing the Importance of the proposed work, Mr. Ely said iran updn no untried experiment that they were asked to em- bark, These York canals are existing facts; the Pradtinshitity of the work has bocn tested. Thecanalsare wleady there; and ifeven a greater width and depth than 4s demanded for the transit of such war steamorg as the Mnitor, nothing is lacking but en enlargement of the locks, and that involves no engineering uncertainties. If it is not si piible of any tair debate that three and ‘8 half millions of dollars is an insignificant sum in com- parison with the object of security to the oom. moran End cites of ous lakes 33 I YE ccally plain that the duty of making the proposed expen- disure is a national duty, and not a State duty, The interest of New York in the West and Northwost is only an interest in common with other States, or if greater only 0 from that great superiority in numbers whieh Qise makes her the contributor toward all sums which are voted from the nation’s treasury. Mr. Ply proceeded at some length to show the importance of ths proposed improvement both in a commercial amt military view, but especially the latter, maintaining that we should al- ways be prev ared for any danger that may threaten our ace, Mr. Powensy, (rep.) of N. Y., expressed his views in favor of the bili. Mr. Varraxpicuam, (opp.) of Ohio, said the bill pro- posed to appropriate $200,000, and pledged the faith of the United States to the extent of ten millions. He was opposed to the measure, first, because it was wholly un- constitutional; and, second, because the debt, liabslity and expenditures of the government are too great to jus- tify any further aseuraption of liability. tr. Ui, (rep.) of N. ¥., showed ‘the importance of tho measure pending as a means of national defence, and in the course of his argument said !t was indieponsable that we should havecommand of the Northern lakes, and expressed the deliberate conviction that if our army should meet with @ substantial reverse before Rich- mond our government would be notified as soon as the diplomatic forms cou'd be prepared by France and Fogiand that the struggle between the loyal and re- bellious States enght to cvase, aed that it Is tmpeasible ty reduce the latter to submission to the constitution.
