Mr. Colfax introduced a bill reducing the mileage of members fifty per cent; but the House adjourned without taking a vote on the subject. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The steamship City of New York, from Queens- town on the 3d of July,-reached this port yester- day morning. Her news has been anticipated by her own report off Cape Race and the advices of the Norwegian. Our European files, however, contain some very interesting details, with other matter not hitherto published. ‘The great annual wool fairs of Germany have terminated. This year a considerable reduction in price has taken place in the fairs already held. The finer sorts have fallen from thirty-seven to fifty-six francs the quintal (22134 pounds), and or- dinary qualities from thirty to thirty-seven francs. Large purchases have been made for English, French and Belgian houses, but the manufacturers of the Zollverein have taken lesa than usual in consequence of the lack of orders for America, Our correspondent in Nagasaki, Japan, writing on the 23d-of April, sends a very full report of the commeree of that port and industrial resources of the empire at that period. Trade was injured very much by the large quantities of smuggled goods brought in by Chinese residents, which were ‘thrown on the market; but the imperial govern- ment was about to take stringent measures against the parties engaged in this illegitimate traffic. Coal of excellent quality was arriving at Nagasa- ki from the Japanese mines, which are said to be of immense extent, and Nagasaki was likely to be- come the most important coaling depot in the East for steamers trading to Shanghae and the great Yang-tee river. The imports of the port for the year were valued at $660,877, and were con- veyed in one hundred and thirty-five vessels, fifty- four of which were American. The exports were worth $938,046, and were taken in one hundred and twenty-three vessels, forty of which were American. Mr. Pruyn, the newly appointed Minis- ter of the United States to Japan, had not arrived at Kanagawa. The retiring Minister, Mr. Harris, enjoyed the good wishes of the whole community. A Vera Cruz correspondent states that an Aus- trian general, travelling incognito, arrived at that place on the 12th ult., on board the French mail steamer Vera Cruz. If the general in question, who is no doubt a private emissary of the Arch- duke Maximilian, gives his princely employer an honest account of what he may learn of Mexican monarchical sentiment, and if the Archduke has sense enough to comprehend a plain fact, his Highness will not continue to trouble himself about @ crown on this side of the Atlantic- Our Nassau, New Providence, correspondent, writing on the 8th of July, gives the points of the arguments used against and in favor of the steam- ship Oreto, in the Admiralty Court, when the ap- plication was made to libel her for a breach of Queen Victoria’s neutrality proclamation, by en- gaging in carrying contraband of war to the re- bels inthe South. The defence was of a merely technical clifiracter. The Nassau merchants com- plain of the detention of their goods, of late, in New York, for purposes of government examina- tion. The Turks Islands Standard of the 28th of June says:—About 68,000 bushels of salt have been shipped from the different ports of this colony since our last report, the greater portion of it be- ing chartered for Northern porte in the United States. We have on hand a good supply of excel- lent salt—price, seven cents. The United States transport Albany, Captain Lewis, arrived at this port yesterday morning from Newbern, N. C. She brings a number of officers and one hundred and twenty-five stesrage passengers. The French Socialistic Republican Sociesy last evening celebrated the anniversary of the destruc- tion of the Bastile. The attendance on this inte- resting occasion was large and highly respectable. The grand hall in which the festivities took place was decorated with great taste and brilliancy, and in the course of the evening several French ora- tors engaged the attention of a discriminating audience with some choice and interesting speeches. Resolutions were passed favorable to the thorough emancipation of the country, and the fullest confidence was expressed in the govern- ment and in the armies now contending for the preservation of the Union. The State of Connecticut is alive to the impor- tance of immediately raising seven thousand more volunteers, All the cities have held full and ear. nest meetings, and appointed committees to urge the recruiting. Some of the leading Breckinridge men, who have heretofore stood aloof, have taken an earnest part in the work, and are making stirring appeals for speedy enlistments. Parson Brownlow will address the citizens of Newark, New Jersey, on Friday evening next, on the all-absorbing topic of the present war. Hon. William C. Rives, of Virginia, has désinhe- rited his son, G. W. Rives, for refusing to become a rebel and traitor and join his fortunes to the cause of Jeff. Davis & Co. Mrs. M. C. Galloway, lately arrested in Mem- phis for carrying on treasonable correspondence with the rebels, is the wife of the defaulting ex- postmaster and ex-editor of the Avalanche of that city. Rey.

Average Daily Circulation.......123,485 THE SITUATION. There is no jater news from the army on the James river than that contained in our correspon- dence from Fortress Monroe and Harrison’s Land- ing. In ali probability the army is in a state of quiescence for the present, notwithstanding the ‘vague rumors of a recent battle. It is stated that. the obstructions placed by the rebels in the James river, near Fort Darling, have been greatly reduced by the recent freshets. If this be true our gunboats may have an opportunity of operat- ing a little nearer to the rebel capital before long. Gen. Pope has issued a spirited address to hi, soldiers. He assumes that he has been placed in command of the Army of Virginia for the purpose of carrying out the policy which he adopted in the Weat—that of attack rather than defence; of beat- ing the enemy back and not permitting him to act on the offensive; to seek the foe, and beat him when found. He conjures his troops to look be- fore, and not behind; to study the lines of the enemy's retreat, and leave their own to take care of themselves. Success and glory, he says, are in the advance, and disaster and shame in the rear. These are bold words, and foreshadow @ bolder policy, which, if General Pope succeeds in carrying it out, will no doubt work a material change in the present position of affairs, and result gloriously for the army before Richmond. General Pope's previous career, it cannot be forgotten, gives him @ prestige of success upon which we ‘may fairly predicate a hopeful future. It was,by adopting just such a course as he lays down here that he accomplished so much in the West. Let as hope that fortune will be equally favorable in Virginia. The details of the capture of Murfreesboro, Tenn., by the rebels, are published in another column. Our loss in stores amounted to $30,000, the quartermaster’s and commissary’s departments having recently received fresh supplies. The loss of the rebels fn killed and wounded, however, is said to be heavier than ours. Gen. Breckinridge és reported to have commanded the rebels, tege- ther with Cols. Forrest and Raines. It was also re- ported in Nashville that Kirby Smith was advanc- ing with a force of 15,000 men from Chattanooga. The city was being placed in a state of defence, end the arrival of the enemy was looked for last night. The bombardment at Vicksburg was going on briskly on the 10th inst. No damage of impor- tance had been done on either side up to that tune. General Grant had ised an order commanding all persons in Memphis sympathizing with the rebels to leave that city forthwith or to come for- ward and take the oath of allegiance to the go- vernment. Our correspondence from the South is of unusual interest. The capture of Baton Rouge by the webels under General Van Dorn is reported in the Richmond papers received by despatches from Mobile. The Mississippian states that Gen. Butler visited Baton Rouge on Saturday, the 5th inst. The Southern journals are full of entertaining matter, extracts from which we give to-day. Jeff. Davis has issued an address to his army, congratulating the soldiers on the series of brilliant victories which they won against the daring band of invaders who menaced the rebel capital and boasted that they would speedily conquer it. More in a similar strain hath Jeff. Davis to aay, winding up with the announcement that the one great object of his army now is “to drive the invaders from your soil, carrying your standard beyond the outer bounda- ries of the confedoracy, to wring from an unscrn- pulous foe the recognition which is the birthright of every independent community.” Our Paris correspondent, writing by the City of New York, asserts on very good authority, outside of the French Cabinet, that the Emperor has de- clared that he has given up all idea of ‘ interven- tion’ in the war affairs of the United States, and that he is preparing to despatch courier to Washington to assure our government that he does mot wish to meddle in its home affairs, unless epeciplly invited to do 90, NEW YORK HERALD; TUESDAY, JULY 15, 1862. bel company, in violation of his promise, A mass meeting of the citizens of Monroe coun- ty, for war recruiting purposes, will be held in Bochester, New York, to-day. The design isto raise and equip one thousand volunteers within thirty days. The Richmond Enquirer of the 25th ult. states that “Gen. Je. Johnston is entirely out of danger from his battle wound, and is yagidly recovering his full strength and vigor,” thereby admitting that they lied when they asserted that he waa only “ alightly wounded in the hand.” 1° Phe Union sentiment in Nevads Territory is growing St a surprising rate.

According to the City Inspector’s report, there ‘were 553 deaths in the city during the past week— an increase of 214 as with the mortality of the week previous, and 12 less then osourred during the corresponding week last year. . The re- capitulation table gives 1 death of alcoholism, 3 of diseases of the bones, joints, &.; 119 of the brain- and nerves, 4 of the generative organs, 13 of the heart and blood vessels, ‘119 of the lungs, throat, &.; 3 of old age, 34 of diseases of the skin ‘and eruptive fevers, 10 premature births, 167 of dis- eases of the stomach, bowels and other digestive organs; 43 of uncertain seat and general fevers, 5 of diseases of the urinary organs, 30 from vio- lent causes, and 2 unknown.

McClellan, and apparently con- fident of its power to destroy him, and to turn the tide of invasion back upon Washington and the North. Everything now depends upon the army of Gen. McClellan and the co-operating army of Gen. Pope—all that we have gained, all that we expect to gain, and all that is in danger. The immediate reinforcement of those two armies is therefore the immediate and paramount duty of the government and of our loyal Statey and People. We say, let McClellan and Pope be reinforced at once with our experienced troops from other quar- ters, and let their present points of occupation } be supplied by our new recrults as fast as they Sovnce ov THE MisMaNAGEMPNT oF THE: Wan— Tae Hors or Revonw.—There can be no. @oubt that the government has expended six. hundred millions of dollara and the lives andihealth of one bundved. and fifty thousand ‘t#oops since the inouguration of the war, and still we are: without any decisive result. It was expected: that, with the immense army brought into. the field and the millions of money raised, to sustain it, the war would be terminated in,one year. But instead.of that it will extend over two years, and it may. be for a longer period. What is the cause of this? Mis- management of the grossest kind. By the in- terference of the committees of both houses of Congress, and by their illradvised and silly speeches, expressing their opinions apon mat- ters of which they were profoundly ignorant, they have brought disasters upon our army and caused the expenditure of so much blood and treasupe im vain. They have rendered neces- sary the calling into the service three hundred thousand additional mea—perhaps balf a million would be nearer the mark. It is fortunate that Congress is about to adjourn; for otherwise the consequences might be most fatal to the country. Now that Jacobin committees are about to take their departure from Washington, and to leave the management of the war in the hands of the President and his generals, there is a prospect of brighter days, a confident hope that a new era of reform will be inaugurated, that a great many of the blunders will be retrieved, and thatthe next year will see the war brought toa successful issue. Meantime the elections will take place, and we trust the people will look after the men who misrepresented them in the legislative halls of the nation. Let every man of then get leave to stay at home in future, and let a totally different sot of men be sent to Congress. Let the Wades, the Chandlers, the Sumners, and the Wilsons be consigned to oblivion, and l¢t patriots and practical men take their places, Liberty is dead, and we die with her. But we shall not fail if from past experiences we learn the secret of success and prosecute the war with a united North. Beg the question as you may, there oan be no sane doubt but that the cause of our ill suc. cess thus far has been the want of unanimity in sontiment and action at the North. Those abo- lition fanatics who adore the negro and despise the Union have distracted our counsels, im- peded our armies and neutralized our advan- tages. Toa strong but divided North we have had opposed. weaker but a more united South.
