The rumors relative to the occupation of Wil- Uamsburg by the rebels, and the driving in of our forces at that point which prevailed at Fortress Monroe, prove to be entirely untrue. No such Movement has taken place. We have no positive news from Gencral McClellan's army. Governor Morgan has issued his proclamation for the enlistment of the quota of troops to be provided by this State in response to the Isat call of the President. As we stated yesterday, he de. clines to cali the Legislature together in extra session, at great cost of money and loss of time, but assumes the responsibility expressed in the following paragraph of ‘his proclamation, where he says, that “ confidently believing that the people, through their representatives, will ratify ead confirm this act, and after consultation with those officers charged especially by law with Guperintending the fiscal concerns of the State, J do hereby offer and declare that, in addition to the bounty offered by the general government, a bounty of fifty dollars will at once be paid to each private scldier who shall hereafter volunteer into the service of the United States. The thinned tanks of our brave soldiers in the field appeal to us,’ says the Governor. ‘‘ Duty to ourselves, pa- triotism, everything we hold most dear, urge us to action. Shall we prove unequal to the crisis? Let the noxt thirty days answer the momentous question.” The rebel guerilla chief Col. Morgan is making some demonstrations in Keatucky. At last ac- counts he waa menacing Lexington, on the George- town road. A fight occurred at Evansville, Arkansas, be- tween our troops and a portion of the rebels, amoag whom were quite a large number of In- dinas, in which the latter were ‘completely routed. We give to-day some more interesting news from Gen. Curtis’ army in Arkansas, including a procla- taation from the rebel Geueral Hindman, CONGRESS, The frst session of the Thirty-seventh Congress closed at two o'clock yesterday afternoon, The ‘only subject of general importance acted on in either house yost:rday was the paseage of a bill, which was immediately signed by the President, making postage staraps receivable for all dues of Jeun *? « Ive doliars, and forbidding the issue of « °rs,under = uvy penalty, The Presi- ds ot sent in a special meseage, announcing his ap- pr Val of the Confiscation bill and the explanatory resolution supplemental thereto, togetiier with a Message giving his objections to the bill as it stood before the adoption of tie resolation referred to. We publish in to-day’s paper the President's mes- sage on this subject, a copions resume of the work of the session, a of the acts paseed and ‘Spproved by the President, a list of the important Geasures laid over, and @ grephic description of the closing sccnes of this most reriarkable session of the Congress of the United States.

Coifeo was firm, with moderate sales, Froights were steady and tolerably brisk, while rates were somewhat less bucyaat, The Uni and Its Overwhelming Forces and Resources—The Rebeliiom Must and Will be Put Down. We can, we must, and we will put down this rebellion. We have the forces and the resources in the greatest abundance for the work, and the work will be done. The city of New York has just spoken to this effect, and is preparing to act accordingly, and yet New York is under a cloud. The com- plexion of Wall street is blue. From the heights of confidence, bulls, bears, spread eagles, lame ducks and all, seem to be floundering in the Chickahominy swamp. A suspicion is abroad that a long and exhausting struggle is before us, and that in view of the threats of foreign inter- vention the final issue is enveloped in gloom. Some of our returned army officers shake their heads mysteriously, members of Con- gress speak and write es if the Cartha- genians were at the gates of Rome. Even our cool, clear headed and courageous Secretary o¢ State has spoken at length somewhat despond. ingly. But, as he thus speaks to stir up the energies of our people, we can excuse him. We think, however, that this has gone far enough, and that, ss our loyal States and people ai now wide awake, and have resolved to do ¢ utmost in the service of the goverument, it our duty to show them that the complete triumph of the Union will be their glorious re- ward, and that there can be “no such word as fail,” intervention or no interveation from abroad. In support of this unqualified proposition of inevitable success against all the powers of the rebellion and all con- tingencies of foreign assistance, we sub- mit, first, to the attention of the reader the table in another part of this paper, exhi- biting the white population and the militia force of the several States of the Union, di- vided into the two classes of loyal and rebel- lious States. Thus it will be seen that, leaving out Tennessee as a Siate ab least neutralized by our armed occupation, the white population of the loyal portion of the Union against the rebellious section is as twenty-one millions against six millions, or nine millions, including the throe millions of African slaves in the States adhering to this rebellion. Next as to the militia. The eum total within the government of the rebellion, as it is now curtailed, on the white basis, is, in round num- bers, half a million of men, while the aggregate of the loyal States, Territories, &c., ishard upon three millions of men. Counting in the blacks, the militia of the rebel States may be stretched to seven hundred thousand men; but even upon this computation the militia force of the loyal States is three times as strong. The rebels at this day, under their sweeping conscription act, have all their available militia in the field, while we have a reserved force ameng our loyal people of two millions ef men from which to strength- enourarmy, East and West. Jeff. Davis and his confederates stole a march upon us at Rich- moud, in bringing up the cream of Beauregard’s army from Corinth, and the whole column of Jackson from the valley of Virginia, while the Union forces opposed to them were left in the background; but this is a bit of desperate strate- gy which, though partially successful the se- cond time, can hardly be perpetrated again. In the next place, our navy, against this re- bellion, is equal at this moment to an army of three hundred thousand men. Nay, we are sure (hat Lalf a million of men on land would not begin to do the work whith has been accomplished, and which is now in the bands of our navy. In this strong right arm of our national defence our power over this rebellion is absolute, undisputed and irresistible. Within the next three months the additions to our active war vessels will be equal to two hundred thousand additional men toourarmy, The power of our gunboats may be estimated from the fact that with the presence of half a dozen of them in front of New Orleans that rebellious city, with a popu- lation of one hundred and fifty thonsand souls was talon, and is held by General Butler under martial jaw with a mere corporal’s guard. Our blockade, financially, acts with a suffo- cating pressure upon the rebellion. The one hundred and fifty millions « year of Southern exports, for which our rebellious States re- ceived in exchange from the North @ large pro- portion of their provisions, and from the North and Europe nearly every article of manufac tare, great and small, required by sald States, including dry goods, clothes, ba hoes, farm: ing implements, firearms, gunpowder, cof- fee, tea, salt, &e., are all cut off by our To supply these deficiencies now, in their crade attempts at home manufactures, a very considerable por- tion of the most intelligent of the able bodied white men of the South are necessarily retain- ed athome. How far they succeed in supply- ing the places of imported or Northern articles excluded by our blagkade we may judge from ths ragged condition of the rebel soldiers fall- ing into our hands, and from the starving con- dition of Southern rebel communities falling under our protection, . We have the free rangeof the world’s com- renee; and in manufactures, especially in the furnaces, foundries and workshops devoted to the purposes of War, our resources are a9 those of Maseachusetis aginst South Caroliaa, or as five hundred to one, W# #*y, therefore, that this rebellion cannot stend—zwat it must and will be put down. Wo believe thas it will be put down, guerillas and all, with a decistve de- feat of tho groat rebel army at Richmond, and that the government, pronerly and energetical- ly keeping step with the will and epirit of our loyal ios, gan oboliah that rebel army at NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 18, 1862. is | Richmond before the frosts Of autumn have touched the woods of the dismal Chickahominy. Heads up, and let the work be done. Sameue on Frevow Iyrervention anp Loon NaroLkon on Tus Unitspy Srates.—In another column will be found two remarkable letters— the one from Baltimore, announcing the ex- ultation of the secessionists there at news re- ceived from the rebel emissary Slidell, fa- vorable to the prospeot of immediate recogni- tion by France; and the other from a Paris correspondent, conveying the satisfactory as. surance that the Emperor would do nothing that might have a tendency to encourage the con- tinuance of the war or to destroy the friendly relations that exist between thia country and France. This latter statement may be reliod Upon, as our correspondent has access to sourees of information which are entitled to the fullest confidence, In the letters said to have been recently re- ceived from Slidell, the usual lying assertions are made about his interviews with members of the imperial government, and their sayings professions and~promises. Curiously enough, our correspondent takes up thia very topic of the rebel envoy’s official opportunities, ani shows him to be the victim of as much mysti fication and trickery as was ever practise) 00 raw Gascon making his first experie:ces of Parisian life. The shrewd Louisiana lawyer, the maker of cabinets and revolutions, is, it appears, in the hands of the Court pimps and parasites of the Irench capital, as pliable as @ young spendthrift just entering upon his career. He dines and wines the fancy man of Persigny’s mistress, and thinks that he has got the slippery minister as securely in traces as he himself once held Buchanan’s rotten politi- cal team. He hob-nobs with a bowing acquaint- ance of Thouvenel’s secretary or valet, and chuckles over the advances that he bas made in the imperial good graces; for, Thonvenel se- cure, the Emperor is won. And in this way a whole fry of suckers and adventurers practise upon the credulity of our venerable country- man, eating his dinners and borrowing his money, whilst he, in ecstacy, writes home to his friends in Baltimore and Richmond that he is in daily communication with the members of the imperial government, and that all is cov. leur de rose with the prospects of the confede- racy, We have not a regret to bestow on the poll- tical apostacy of the once immaculate patriot, John Slidell. We may, however, be permitted to drop a tear over our country’s degradation when an old hand like him allows our charac- ter for national smartness to be overshadowed by the femmes entrefenues and confidence men of the French metropolis. Wane axp Caanpier.—Bon. Wade, the stupid old pug dog, and silly Chandler, the cowardly and impertinent puppy, of the abolition faction of traitors, distinguished themselves in tho United States Senate on Wednesday. Ben. Wade made a speech in which he insulted the President, accused him of “back-kitchen ways of doing business,’ and charged him with attempt- ing to assume the “royal” prerogatives. Silly Chandler followed up this speech by equally insulting Gen. “McClellan, accusing him of “wholesale murder,” and charging him with constructive treason. These Senators are a disgrace to the body to which. they belong, to the States they misrepresent, and to the country in which they live. They have the hearts of traitors and the mannera of pickpockets. Chandler concluded his speech by saying that only traitors and fools would denounce him. He is vastly mistaken; for only traitora and fools will support and applaud him. Ben. Wade's term of office expires in March next, and he is a candidate for re-election. We com- mend him to the especial attention of the peo- ple of Obio; and we wish that Chandler was out of office also, that we might give hima similar recommendation to the people of Michigan. We think that both Ohio and Michi- gan should be represented in the United States Senate by loyal men and gentlemen. Messrs. Wade and Chandler are neither the one nor the other. Grenier Danorine on 4 Sour Arrie Tree.— There are great doubt and much discussion in all circles about the character of the recent war meeting in Union square. Some regard it as an abolition gathering, and somens a Union meeting. An ettempt was mado to render it an anti-slavery affair; but it proved a failure, and the meeting turned out to be anything but a radical demonstration. The only occurrences which marréd the harmony of the scene were the proceedings of the abolitionists and come sympathizing police. With the exception of stand No. 5, the abolitionists had 29 show on the ground. Tho principal stand was No.4, at which the salient feature of the demonstsa- tion was the significant song:—- We'll bang Horace Greeley on a sour apple tree, We'll bang Horace Greeley on a sour apple tree, We'll hang Horace Greeley on # eour apple tree, AS we go marching aloug. Thie was the sentiment of the vast majority of the meeting; and we have no doubt that bang- ing on a sour apple tree will be the fate of Greeley, and that all the abolitionists will share his doom. The surging waves of popular indignation are beginning to sweil, and soon they will overwhelm the disunion radical traitors in their wrath. Governor Morcan ann Extistuent.—Gover- ner Morgan has taken time by the forelock. He proposes to pay $60 to recruits. It is true he has no legal power to do so. He might as well have offered $1,000. But in taking the responsibility he has proved himself a man of courage and eagacity. Let him increase the bounty to $100, and in a short time New York will furnish its quota. He may safely calcu- late upon a bill of indemnity from the Legisla- ture when it mee's. Iie does not call an extra session now because tho emergency does not admit of delay. Let others act with the same energy, and in a brief time we shall have 150,000 fresh troops, which will enable our generals to achieve the capture of Richmond before the end of the fall. Rucaxonp Ovrs Berone mim Fist Frost. There is no reason why Richmond should not be in the hands of the Union army before the first frost. We can bring two millions of troops into the field, and if we only display the same energy as the rebels have done success is cer- tain. By their great exertions they have ex- hausted themselves. We have a reserve of strength which it will take a long time to ox- haust, and which will be more than sufficient to reduce the rebellion to subjection, unless the radicals are permitted to iuterfere with the good work, xe The Confiscation BIN and the Prosid-nty ‘The President, by his act'on on the Contisca- tion bill, has immortalized bSuself. It is the crowning act of his career—the death blow to the hopes of the revolutionary faction who brought on the war, and have ever since done their worst to defeat its legitimate objects: Mr. Lincoln, seeing the unconstitutionality of the first Confiscation bill, as it passed both houses of the national legislature, requested a postponement of the adjournment of Congress, without saying for what purpose he desired it The keen scented radicals smelled danger to their bill, and suspected the President wanted the time to prepare a veto. Tobreak the force of the crushing defeat, they frepared a sup- plementary bill, explaining the first bill, and Tendering it nugatory in its unconstitutional and obnoxious features. The President, in order to stand right on the record, and to im- pale the radicals, approved both bills, regard- ing them as one—the last being explanatory of the first—at the same time sending to Congress the veto’ he had prepared for the first bill, unexplained by the second. ‘The President has thus shown himself to be the only man of moral and political stamina in the country, The cowardly radicals succumbed to him beforehand ‘like a pack of whipped hounds. Mr. Lincoln is master of the situation, because he is determined to adhere to the con- stitution, and has therefore the people at his back; whereas the revolutionary radicals in Congress are only supported by the expiring remnant of a miserable faction, distinguished by their smoke and stench and dim light, likea taper blown out by the breath of the storm, The President is the embodiment of the rising tempest which has quenched the political power of the radicals. He ia the only popular man in the United States, The bill, as modified and altered, is a nullity, and leaves the power whore it originally be- longed, in the hands of the President, who, in virtue of his constitutional office of Commander- in-Chief, had a right to do the very thing that Congress now pretends to confer upon him—the right to confiscate the chattels of rebels in arms. The Dill does not compel! the President to do anything, but leaves itin his discretion to issue his proclamation of confiscation or not. That power he had be- fore. Nor does the triumph rest hero. The unconstitutional parts of the bill are stricken out by the suicidal hand of the crestfallen radical faction. Like the scorpion girt with flame, they saw their coming fate, and they an- ticipated it by an act of felode se. The bill, as now passed, does not affect the rights of the heirs of traitors. Real estate cannot be for- feited beyond the lifetime of the guilty indi- vidual. Moreover, it is not retrospective in ite action. Ee post facto laws and bills of attaln- der aro admitted to be null and void. It only deals with the future—it has no influence on ihe past. As it now stands, it is a legitimate, constitutional bill, and its worst severity is mitigated by the fact that it gives the President a discretion to pardon. The stunning effect of this triumph of the President over the radicals may be estimated by the fury of Ben. Wade, who rushes on his fate like « mad bull upon the deadly steel of the matador, while sneaking Sumner dodges like a donkey. Let Wade be squelched by the people of Ohio; let hypocritical, dastardly Sumner be epewed out by Massachusetts, and let all the radical leaders be sacrificed by the people on the altar of patriotism, to vindicate the immortal charter of our liberties, drawn up by Wazhington and his compatriots, and to save from destruction the system of government for whose establishment the men of 1776 fought and bled for seven long years. Cranpier Fisumc ix Trovstep Waters, anp Wuat He Caveut.—Senator Chandler has made great efforts to fish up all the scandal in the evidence taken by Bea. Wade's committee, in the hope that it would affect injuriously the President or his family and General McClellan. He has completely failed in all. In the case of MoCiellan, it turns ous that that General has used the labors of whatever negroes came into his lines, notwithstanding the previons asser- tions of the radicals to the contrary. Chandler, therefore, has taken nothing by his motion, while the hook and line with which he angled in turbid waters have been carried away, and the bloodthirsty individual looks vacant as an idiot. A Very Daxaurovs Preorin.—-The English papers regard us as a very dangerous people, whom it would be desirable to split up into powerless fragments, if the thing could only be done without great peril to John Bull, It is very true we are a dangerous people, Wo have never been very dangerous as yet to any other nation; but if we are driven to the wall we may prove exceedingly dangerous to euch Furopean Powers as sball incur the risk of meddling with our affairs, Personal Intelligence.
