News from Fortress Monroe last night states that General McClellan has advanced seven miles farther up the banks of the James river towards Richmond since the 4th inst., and that no fighting has been heard of for the last two or three days. Our correspondence from Harrison's Landing— General McClellan's headquarters—contains some interesting details of the affairs transpiring of late in the Army of the Potomac. Nothing, however, beyond the advance of the troops has occurred. With regard to the movements of General Burn, side, which were somewhat mysterious heretofore, we learn that two divisions of his army were on shipboard and had actually started to join General McClellan’s army ten days ago. The expedition, it appears, was nearing Hatteras when a boat from Roanoke Island, with despatches for General Burnside, containing the intelligence that General McClelian’s army was in Richmond, intercepted the fleet. Upon this information the troops were ordered back to Newbern, and a boat was sent to Fortress Monroe to obtain positive infor- mation. The return of the boat bronght the true story, and matters were arranged accordingly. Had the first story proved truc, Burnside’s army would, no doubt, have marched inland to prevent the retreat of the rebel army—a duty which is only postponed for another . day. In the meantime, we may ask, who is respon- Bible for sending this false report? The flag boat of General Burnside, however, which is, no doubt, but a short way in advance of his fleet and army, arrived at Fortress Monroe at two o'clock on Monday afternoon. So that we will, unquestiona- bly, hear from him very soon, to the advantage of the Union arms on the peninsula. The map which we give in another column of the city of Vicksburg aud the Mississippi river in its vicinity, wiil illustrate very distinctly the new mode of punishing the rebel sympathizers by changing the channel of the Father of Waters, and giving Vicksburg a back seat as a river town in future. We have before announced that General Butler had decided upon this plan of making Vicksburg an inland town by cutting a new chan- nel between the points marked on our map to-day. The very latest news by the Europa, telegraphed from Newfoundland, is dated on the 28th of June, In the Spanish Cortes the Minister for Foreign Affairs said that he hoped France would not ex- ceed the limits of the London Convention in Mexico, but, in the meantime, Spain had not “abandoned the employment of the necessary meaus’’ Mexico. to obtain legislative satisfaction from The Great Eastern, which arrived off Cape Race Yesterday aftesnoon with two days later news from Engliaud than that bronght by the Europa, which we gave yesterday, brings us intelligence that che American question has again been alinded to in both ‘iouses of the British Parliament. Lord Palmerston, speaking in tie lower House, said that he could see no reason at the present time for offers of mediation in our aftuirs, but that the government would gladly take advantage of any opening that might occur for friendly interference. Lord Brougham had a few words to say in the upper house, explanatory of a former speech, to the effect that he wished to remonstrate with the Americans ‘‘as fellow Christians’? with the noble lord on the course of the civil war, which he thought would prove of a fatal character to the whole American people. favorable The diplomatic correspondence between our Minister, Mr. Adams, and the Foreign Office, con- cerning the Emily St. Pierre, was produced in Parliament, and is quite lengthy. CONGRESS. The Tariff bill was considered yesterday in the Renate and passed by that body. Some amend- Ments to the bill as it left the House were passed, among t! »st important of which were the fol- al duty proposed for dis- tilled spirits was raised from twenty-five to fifty cents per he duty on quivine was changed from a sy o rate of seventy-five cents per ounce to lorty- five per cent ad valorem; the duty on opiam prepared for smoking was fixed at cighty per cent ad valorem; that on chiccory was reduced from four to two centa per pound. The bill will now be returned to the House for concurrence in the Senate amendments, and will probably become a law ina day or two. As soon as its consi tera- tion shall have been finished we shall furnish our readers with @ table of the rates of duty as they will then stand. In the Senate yesterday, the Confiscation bill, as returned from the House, was taken up. Mr, Sherman, of Ol'o, moved that the Senate recede from its amend vient and agree to the House bill, This was neputived—fourteen against twenty three. Mr. Clark, of New Hampshire, moved fo, ® committee of conference on the disegrecing amendment, which was carried by @ vote of twenty-eight azainst ten, The resolution for the expulsion of Senator Simmons, of Rhode Island, low! a:—The ment contracts, was referred to the Judiciary to calling out the militia for suppressing invasion. A bill amendatory of the act prohibiting the Afri- can slave trade was introduced. The considera- tion of the bill to establish and equalize the grade of line officers of the navy was then resumed. Several amendments were adopted, and the Senate adjourned. In the House of Representatives, the bill provid- ing fcr the discharge of State prisoners and others was passed. The bill defining the p: nd emolu- ments of army officers, &e., and the Civil Appropri- ation bill, were also passed. A committee of con- ference on the Confiscation bill was ordered, and the House adjourned. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The Great Eastern from Liverpool Ist inst., passed Cape Race at one o'clock yesterday after- noon. Her advices are two days later than those received by the Europa. At London on the 1st inst. consols closed at 915% a 91°{ for money. American securities reported dull. The Liverpool cotton market was buoyant and prices had advanced a penny per pound, while “breadstuffs were firm at previous rates. By the arrival of the Lucy Darling we are en. abled to publish some interesting news froin Nas- sau this morning. The schooner Cecile, for Charleston, with munitions of war, has been com- pletely wrecked on a rock off the northeast point of Abaco. The greater part of her cargo was saved by the wreckers in a damaged condition, and was being sold at auction. Among other things there were six smajkprass cannon, smooth bore, and marked ‘‘Wefiif**M@fhe steamers Nash. ville and Kate sailed from Nassau on the 21st for New Inlet, N.C., but were both chased back— the Nashville into Gun Cay, Abaco, and the Kate into Eleuthera, The steamers Herald and Minna, from England for Charleston, were in port and ready to sail; the Bahama, for the same destina- tion, was waiting; and the Tubalcain, Emilié and Leopold were waiting to sail. Captain Louper reports that there were two steamers at Cockburn anchorage and two lying off Hog Island, names not known, On June 28, saw a large full rigged ship, English propeller (merchant), making for Nassau. Alsoa large bark deep loaded, showing English colors and bound to Nassau. There was great excitement at Honolulu, Sand- wich Islands, on the 20th of June—the young Prince of Hawaii (heir to the throne) having thea attained his fourth birthday. Military parades, addresses of the Parliamentary bodies to the King and Queen, and general rejoicing was manifested. By the schooner Queen of the South, from Sagua la Grande, we learn that the health of that port was good, though the rainy season had be- gan. Freights were dull—three doiiars per hogs- head on sugar and two dcllars on molasses, lere was but one vessel in port unchartered. A gorrespondent of the Philadelphia Press writes that the only siege guns General McClellan had on the peninsula were ten cight-pounder Par- rotts, and that these are all safe. Governor Bradford, of Maryland, issued a truly loyal and spirit stirring address to the people of that State on the Fourth, in response to the Pre- sident’s call for volunteers. In it he says:—‘‘Let Maryland, if the blood of her Revolutionary line of old still courses through the veins of her sons, answer, and answer promptly, to. the call of the President, and let our bleeding brethren on re- cent battle fields be cheered by the assurance that on the next those sons will be beside them,” Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, writes to the Philadelphia Bulletin that the absence of the names of Governors Burton, of Delaware, and Kirkwood, of Iowa, from the late address of the loyal Governors to the President, was in conse- quence of inability to reach either of those gen- tlemen by telegraph when the memorial was pre- pared. Both those gentlemen, as well as Governor Sprague, of Rhode Island, have since authorized their names to be affixee to the »emorial. The Memphis Avalanci, boving published an incendiary and treasonable ar‘icle headed Mis- chiefmakers,”’ on the let of July, General Grant ordered that paper to be suspended. The order was subsequently countermanded on the with- drawal of the editor who wrote the article from the Avalanche establishment. . Governor Buckingham, of Connecticut, has called for six additional regiments from that State, in compliance with the President's requisition. A mass convention of the republicans of Ver- mont will be held at Montpelier to-day, to nomi- nate candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Gover- nor and State Treasurer. There wes avery slight decrease yesterday in the extreme heat that prevailed on the two days preceding. The morning was pleasautly cool and breezy. About helf-past nine o'clock a shower of rain fell upon the stre nd, though it lasted but a short time, it stili had the desirable effect of keeping the dust down for the balance of the day. The heat was nevertheless at qrite a high figure, thongh not so much felt, because people had be come in @ measure more nsed toit. Itis a well known fact that it is not so much the decree of heat that affects as the sudden trensitions. Tra- vellers in extremely cold and hot climates uni- formly testify to this ingly paradoxical regu- lation of natcre. To give our readers some idea of the degree of heat for the last few days, we give the following table of comparison: Saturday,84 Monday,8@ Tuesday, 82 10 A.M.

The police justices differ as.to which is the preper day to arrest the unlicensed dealers. Sume of them hold that to. day is the proper time, ae all the licenses granted last year expire. OW are of the opinion that, asthe Board will hold its last session on the 17th jnst., the arrests ouglit not to be made until then. ‘The excise law, if enforced, fould yield a revenue ofa quarter of a million doilare, {[¢ is reported that the temperance members from the wostern part of the State iutend to move the Legislature to deduct from the police appropriation whatever deficiency may arise in the county revenue in con- sequence of the non-enforcement of the excise law. According to the City Inspector's report. there were 339 deaths in the city during the past week a decrease of 22 as compared with the mortality of the week previous, and 54 less than occurred during the corresponding week last year.

The Federal Disasters in Virginia— European Inteivention the Probable Consequence. The series of federal disasters in Virginia, ending with the latest and greatest of all— the retreat of Gen. McClellan’s army before superior numbers—is well calculated to atir the national heart to its depths. The whole country is roused, and everybody inquires what is the cause of the misfortune? The blame does not rest with the brave troops who have been sacrificed, fighting like heroes, nor with the General, who, at the outset, said he would do the best he could with the small number of troops entrusted to him, but with the imbecility of the Navy and the War de- partments. It was General McClellan's pur- pose to proceed up the James river at first; but our incompetent Navy Department was unable to clear it for him, notwithstanding the immense number of vessels at tho command of Commodore Goldsborough. The Merrimac was permitted to controls the waters of the James river till it was too late, and the rebels had possession of the strong points on its banks. Had the river been under control of our fleet when General McClellan was ordered to march up the York peninsula, a very different story would be told to-day. The James would have been his basis of operations from the beginning, instead of tho York and the Pamunkey; and, supported by the gunboats, he would have been in Richmond amonth ago. The War Department cut up and divided McClellan’s army in despite of all his remonstrances, sénding one portion here and another there, in order to give position and consequence to political generals, while the rebels concentrated their whole force around Richmond—the decisive point of the theatre of war. The result was a serious reverse to our arms. If this blow had been brought about by design on the part of our high officials, it could hardly bave been more disastrous. That the radicals intended to have McClellan re- pulsed on the Chickahominy, as they caused Banks to be repulsed on the Shenandoah, there cannot exist a doubt. But there is something still worse to be apprehended. The news of the disaster has gone to Europe, and upon ‘its heels will probably follow intervention on the part of France and-England, if not of all the mari- time Powers of Europe. The practical question is, what ought to be now done in the crisis that is uponus? The first thing the people ought to do is to demand theremoval of the imbeciles from the Navy and War departments, who have brought such disgrace upon our arms. The next most essen- tial thing is to secure the coast. fi the Rio Grande to the Kennebec—to strengthen the fortifications already in existence, anil to add new works wherever they may be needed; and, lastly, to organize a home guard to man the artillery and practise constantly at the guns. In the ineantime ths fleet of gunboats oug! be made stronger, and the aev iron-clad ve ought to be hastened to completion. Lastly, Jet the 300,000 men called for by the President he speedily enrolled, organized and brought into the field. Thus prepared for the Powers disposed to intervene, they may shrink back from the consequences, or, should they be rash enough to assail us, we can retaliate upon them with terrible vengeance. Not only can we wrest from them every foot of soil on this con- tinent and on all the islands which belong to it, but we can carry the war into Europe. There are plenty of Irishmen throughout the Nortl- ern States who want to go to Ireland with arme ia their hands, Then, if the country is forcibly broken up by foreign interference, the loss of American bonds, amounting to six or eight millions of dollars, due to Knglish capitalists, isinevitable. If the republic is divided it is no longer the United State:, jon is which half of is will be responsible to foreign countries for the common debt. Among the dangers, too, of Kuropean Powers will be revolution at hom, organized by the de- mocracy in sympathy with the United States. Such are some of the difficulties involved in the meddling of Evropean nations with our domestic affiire. Yet there is too much reason to believe tat they meditate in- tervention, and that they will attempt itif our statesmen are not careful and ener. getic. Our people should be prepared for thisemorgency. [t is extremely probable that they will make the recent divaster in Virginia an excuse for the rocognition of the indepen- dence of the so-called Confederate States, and that step would involve consequences of the most tremendous character. Our citizens shoulé hold a great public meeting, where the voice of the people could be heard and the couservative strength and power of this metro- polis made manifest. 0 1s and the que: Ait Waxteo—'lex bills, currency bills, Treasury potes, a bankrupt bill, tariff bills, &e., &e., are coming upon us in their full force, combining depletion on a large scale and some little relief withal. The late evente near Richmond indicate another year’s war, and an additional debt of five bundped millions to our late calculations, to say nothing of the chance of European intervention. Let us brace our- selves up to the work; but let the administra. tion buckle to with a vigorous and united Cabi- net, and the country wiil stand the ordeal aud compe out @f it triumphantly. Moral, Social and Political Revelutiou- ary Movements of Greeley and His Fra- ternity. The negro in his native land worships e fe- tich, and Horace Greeley worships the negro. Day after day, in the Tribune, his unvarying note is the black. The everlasting burden of his song, as monotonous and as plaintive as that of the whip-poor-will, is his African, woolly: headed, ebony idol. The object of his strains is not to elevate the negro to the position of the white man—that being, even in bis opinion, sim- ply impossible—but to drag down the white man to the level of the negro, or rather to produce from both, by amalgamation, a mongrel breed inferior to either. This is the last of the sweep- ing social, moral and political changes which Greeley and his fellow laborers bave been seek- ing to accomplish for upwards of a quarter of a century, culminating in an attempt to over- throw the constitution and the government formed by Washington, and to subvert the so- cial fabric from its foundations. He has failed in all his other revolutionary movements; whe- ther he shall ultimately succeed in this remains to be seen. Some thirty yeers ago Fanny Wright visited this country from England, and preached the doctrines of communism, or the abolition of pro- perty, so that all things should be held in com- mon. These new-fangled ideas entered into elec- tion contests, but were soon extinguished by the common sense of the people. Then came the social theories of Charles Fourrier, which were still worse; for not only did he advocate com- munity of property, but community of wives, or rather the concubinage of the sexes. He did not attempt to carry lis principles into prac- tice in France; but Greeley & Co. soon organ- ized societies based upon those ideas in the United States. It was the first time in the his- tory of Christianity that an attempt was made to found an association upon the ter- rible principle of prostitution. The interests and the passions of mankind would not per- mit the growth of such organizations in our midst, and they were finally demolished, though in after years sprang from the latent poisonous root, whose stem was broken, the ideas of free love and women’s rights, so warmly espoused by Greeley and the Tribune philosophers. Foiled also in his championship of these social heresies, he next turned his attention to Graham bread, to liquor and to Sunday laws, interweaving them adroitly with elec- tion issues. Again he was baffled. Last of all he embarked in the agitation of “ liberty, fraternity, equality” for negroes; and in that, we are sorry to say, he has been hitherto far more successful than in any of his other revo- lutionary enterprises. But the end is not yet. He commenced his crusade against the consti- tution and government of the country by the publication of an insulting, traitorous song against the flag of the Union. It is in the fol- lowing words; and let all “read, mark, learn and inwardly digest” the sentiments of the abolitionists, as expressed by their organ :— GREELEY’S HYMN OF TREASON ON THE AMERICAN All hail to tha Semnitig Liet ‘Tho stars grow pale and dim, The stripes are bloody scars, A Lie tho vaunting hymna. It shields a pirate’s deck, It binds & man ing, It yokes the capt: neck, And wipes the bloody stains. Tear down the flaunting Lie !— ‘Half-mast the starry lag! Insult no sunny sky With hate’s polluted ragt Destroy it, ye who can! Furl the boasted Lic | Till freedom lives again, To rule once more in truth Among untrainmelied men. Roll up the starry sheen, Conceal its bloody stain For in its folds are seen ‘The stamp of rustling chains { This anticipated the John Brown raid into Virginia, which had so much to do with produc- ing the civil war, and is the model of all the John Brown songs since suug by the anti-slavery fanatics. Indeed, John Brown himself was but an emanation of the atrocious principles pro- pagated by the Tribune, when it called our sacred flag “a flaunting lie” and “a polluted rag,” and dared to urge all who could to tear it down, destroy it and sink it in the waves. What more could Jef’. Davis do than this? Mave not John Brown and Jeff. Davis alike borrowed their inspiration from this hymn to treason? If ii was just to hang a Southern man at New Orleans for tearing down the Stars and Stripes, what punishment is due to Greeley. who exhorts to the black deed? But it is not in verse alone that the Tribune philosophers have advocated the breaking up ef the Union and the furling of its flag. The following extracts will show what they are capable of doing in plain prose:— [From the Tribune of November 9, 1860.} Ifthe cotton States shall become satictied that they cau do better out of the Union than im it, we inns om lot ting them yo in peace.

Yrom tha Tribune of December 17, 1860.) If it (the Declaration of Independence) justified the secession from the British empire of three millious of colonists in 1776, we do not see why it would not justify tho secession of five miMions of Southerners from the Union in 1564 that governmen 5 t power {rom the con f the governed, nd that, if the #laye States, ths cotton ly. ch ra peopto i ind anxious to escape from at ‘The tendency of these editorial articles was to induce the Southern States which had teken the initiatory steps in the road to epen treason and rebellion to continue in their course till they finally succeeded in throwing off the yoke. The Tribune justified secession and separation upon the principles of the Declaration of Inde- pendence and the practice of our Revolutionary fathers of 1776. The Zribune was known at @he South to be the chief organ of the eboli- tion party, and the leaders in the rebellion, as well as multitudes of the people, concladed that neither Mr. Lincoln’s administratioa nor the party in power would have any objection to the retiring ef any Southern State from the Union. The rebels were thus encouraged by the organ of Northern disunion til they bad so far committed themselves that it was more difficult for ttiem to retrace their steps than to go forward, When Greeley and his fellow conspirators had thus lared the Southern States to their Geqiguction, end tha wer @ will de our had fairly begun, like the filthy Ami du Peuple and Pere Duchesne of the French Revolution, which proclaimed the equali- ty of the black race with the white, and inaugurated the bloody massacre of St. Do- mingo, the truculent Zribune commenced to advocate the emancipation of the negro slaves of the South by the federal arm, the confisca- tion of all the property of their masters, and their extermination, root and branch, by fire and sword, in order that the abolitionists of the North might possess their lands and amalgamate with the emancipated blacks, so as to produce a mulatto population, a mulatto religion and a mulatto government. The first step in the amalgamating process is to organize and arm the blacks, in order to raise them to the dignity of the white race; the next is to make them members of Congress and Gover- nors of States; and, lastly, to cap the climax by electing Fred. Douglass or some other ebony idol as President of the United States. Then the work of amalgamation of races will go on till the fair Anglo-Saxon, Celt and Teuton are transformed into a dirty yellow or whitey brown. Is it for this that the white men of North and South are deluging the plains of Virginia with their blood? Forbid it, Godand nature; forbid it, humanity and the interests of civilization. If we must put down the rebel secessionists by force the same will have to be done to the traitor abolitionists. Mauicious Arrack Uron tHe Pristext.— Mr. Senator Chandler, of Michigan, in a furi- ous tirade in Congress the other day, declared that the responsibility for the late disasters to our Army of the Potomac belongs to President Lincoln or to Gencral McClellan, and that there is no third party in the matter at all. Some of our abolition radical journals insist upon it that the President alone is to blame. But who has charge of the War Department? Mr. Stan. ton. Who has the general supervision and di- rection of everything relating to the army? Mr. Secretary Stanton. The President must, under any circumstances, depend to a great extent, in his army orders as Commander-in-Chief, upon the facts and views of his Secretary of War. If, therefore, General McClellan’s mis- fortunes are due to the non-appearance of those reinforcements which he so urgently called for, where belongs the responsibility? The President does not pretend to be a military man. He relies in army matters chiefly upon his Secretary of War for his conclusions as to what should be done and what may be omit- ted. That his faith has been lately shaken in Mr. Secretary Stanton we think is evident from the late Executive visit to West Point. We know, however, that President Lincoln's proverbial generosity of character will induce him to suffer much and bear much in favor of his official subordinates. But the exigencies of the crisis call for action, action, and we doubt not that the President ere long will discover that one important duty required of him in re- pairing the damages of our ermy is the removal of the wenk vessels of his Cabinet. Promotioys iv THE ARMy.—It is understood that the President has promoted Generals Heintzelman, Sumner, Porter, Franklin and Keyes, for their bravery and good conduct dur- ing the late seven days’ terrible fighting near Richmond. This is good; for the officers named have acquitted themselves to the admiration of the country; but there are numerous other offi- cers in the same army whose claims should not be forgotten. We hope, too, that the at- tention of the President and all the officers concerned will be drawn to the recognition of the claims to promotion of the brave non- commissioned officers and privates who bore with distinguished fortitude and unfailing heroism the heat and burden of that seven days’ desperate and momentous struggle, upon which depended the life or death of our coun- try. The law of promotion should embrace the meritoriovs rank and file; for this was the great secret upon which’ the first Napoleon constructed his invincible artuies. W. AND THE War.—The feature of the money market, in Wail street, yesterday, was the rise in the price of gold to eleven and ® quarter premium, and of foreign exchange to one hundred and twenty-two and (a, half: his is an ajvance of about one per cent over the previous day's prices, and is one of the re- sulis of the late disasters in Virginia. It is now evident that this war must last at least another year; that foreign mediation, and per- laps fatervention, are imminent, and that still greater war expenditures must now be incurred. Consequently the premium upon gold is gra- dually rising. If this war should coutinue two years longer gold will be at twenty or twenty- five per cent premium, a8 it was in England during the old French war. Those who caused the Virginia disasters have caused the rise in gold, therefore. Wivter Garrow —Mr. A. W.
