The correspondence, which we published at length yesterday, deserves the attentive consideration of the whole country. The President deserves the gratitude of the people in drawing out such an expression of statesmanship. This was evidently the inten- tion of Mr. Lincoln, who adopted this method of rebuking the insanity of the radi- cals, and bringing prominently before the nation that policy which alone can save it from final dismemberment. It does not differ very materially from the minority report; but wherein it does vary it is for the better. Itis evidently the true voice of the people of the border slave States, expressed through their members, and embodies those opinions to which they will stand fast. It is better than all the speeches that have been made in Congress from the opening to the close of the session. It breathes a spirit of noble patriotism, a profound reverence for the con- stitution and the laws, and an ardent love of liberty, while it points out the causes of the want of success which has hitherto attended AMUSEMENTS TO-MORROW EVENING.

We give to-day some further details of the movements of General Curtis’ army in Arkansas, descriptive of his march from Batesville to He- Jena, which will be read with interest. Our-correspondence from New Orleans is volu- minous and full of interest. The communications between General Butler and the British Consul, and the renewal of friendly relations between the General and her Majesty’s commercial representa tive, is one of the most entertaining features of the news. The news from the Indian country reports that the chief.of the Cherokees is about to join the Union army with 1,500 Indians. It is stated from Kansas City that s recent battle between a de- tachment of the Kansas regiment, under Colonel Wier, and a force of rebels, resulted in the capture of one jhundred and twenty-five prisoners, a large number of horses and ponies, about 1,500 head of cattle, thirty-six loaded mule teams, a large quantity of camp and garrison equipage, and fifty stand of arms. Four bundred wounded Cherokee and Osage Indians have come into our camp with white flags, and carrying their guns with muzzles pointing downward. By the arrival of the North American off Cape Race yesterday we have news from Europe one day later than by the Nova Scotian. The news of Gen. McClellan’s retreat from the Pamunkey river to the James had been received in England, and pro- duced no expression of opinion hostile to the North. It was thogghh, however, that the result would bea proloy the war. A meeting had been held in rm at which a petition to Parliament was addpted by the impatient and hungry populace calling for the recognition of the Southern confederacy, so as to obtain a supply of cotton. General Halieck’s Reported Appointment as General-in-Chief of the Army. A report has been abroad for several days that General Halleck is on his way to Washing~ ton to assume the important position of General- in-Chief of the Army; and the prevailing opi- nion is that this report is only a few days in advance of an official confirmation. This im- pression is materially strengthened by the fact that on Wednesday last General Halleck, at, Corinth, Mississippi, in a special field order. took formal leave of the Army of the Southwest The conclusion is almost irresistible that he ha’ been summoned to Washington for very impor” tant and special service touching the move- ments of our armies in Virginia, although the exact position which he is to fill is still open to conjecture. But what would Le the effect upon the coun- try if the mystery were solved by the official announcement of the appointment of General Halleck as Secretary of War? The immediate result, in reviving public confidence in the speedy suppr n of the rebellion, would be equal to the inspiration of a great victory in the field. Granting to Mr. Secretary Stanton the merits of a zealous, earnest, incessant and untiring devotion to the weighty duties of his most responsible office, the facts are still be- fore us that, since his assumption of the general direction of our armies in Virginia, their ope- rations have been fruitful only of disappoint- ments, reverses and disasters. Nor are these things surprising when we consider that Mr, Stanton, though learned in the profession of the law, knows nothing of the science of war. General Halleck, on the other hand, sinee his appointment to the military department first assigned to the incapable Fremont, hag abundantly proved that he possesses the requi- site qualities for a successful military leader, jlities of a genuine legal attainments of a very high order. Such a man at the head of the War Office would be equal to all its requirements, from the supervision over great military combinations in the field to the management of the legal quirks and quibbles of swindling jobbers and contractors. But if the new sphere of duty of General Halleck should be limited to the office of General-in- Chief, we dare say that he is really to be subor- dinate only to the President in directing the movements of our armies, although technically subordinate to the Secretary of War. Looking, however, to the vigorous and suc. cessful prosecution of this war, we think we may say, without injustice to Mr. Secretary Stanton, that the country would rejoice at the appointment, as the directing head of the War Office, of a man possessing the superior mili tary and administrative qualities of Gen. Hal. leck. Indeed, with either Halleck or McClellan controlling the War Department, and with some such experienced, tried and trusty naval officers as Farragut, Dupont, Foote or Wilkes at the head of the Navy Department, in the place of that inefficient and useless political party fossil, old Mr. Welles, the confidence of the country in the speedy suppression of the rebellion would be complete. We anticipate, in any event, such vigorous proceedings henceforward, on the part of Pre- sident Lincoln, as will soon remove all doubts of the overwhelming strength of the Union, and put an end to all European schemes and cal- culations of intervention in this domesfic war. Our intermeddling and factious poli- tical generals and army directors of Con- gress are now out of the way. Under the laws whieh have been passed in reference to the war, the President possesses a large margin of discretionary power. We rely upon his sagaci- tyand wisdom for the exercise of this power advantageously for the cause of the Union. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The steamship North American, from Liverpool 10th and Queenstown 11th inst,, arrived off Cape Race yesterday morning. Her advices are one day later than those previously received. The news of the battles before Richmond had excited great attention, and the general opinion was that the war would be prolonged by the re- sult of the contest. The cotton market had declined one-quarter of @ penny per pound, closing flat. Consois are quoted at 92)4 a 929% for money. A gentleman, who knows the “ subject’? well, states that he saw on Broadway yesterday (Satur- day), Mr. Cal. Morgan, a well known Kentucky rebel, and brother of the pirate guerilla rebel chief Morgan, who is now committing depredations on Unionists. The Democratic State Convention of Minnesota assembled at St. Pauls on July 2d. The delegates from the two Congressional districts in the State subsequently met, and made the following nomi- nations:—First district, Hon. A. G. Chatfleld; Se- cond district, William J.

An address, pre- pared by a committee of prominent citizens, was cead and speeches were made by Mayor Wight- man, Captain Michael Scanlan (of the brave Ninth Massachusetts), Rev.

Aik, ol SNe OOO RE NONeneMce Neon AR ee le oe eg i 2 ne en a RN ee Sil Harping on Intervention. We see, by the telegraphie summary of the news by the North American, that the English tory journals are reviving the ramors of ihe in- tention of France to interfere to put an end to the war in this country. The wish with them is parent to the fact. Nothing bas occurred of late, or is at present occurring, to found such an assumption upon. On the contrary everything that reaches us from well informed people in Paris goes to establish an opposite conclusion. We have the highest authority for stating that the Emperor is determined to perform no act which would tend to disturb his amicable rela- tions with this country. He is emphatic on this point, and, so far from contemplating an armed intervention, he wiil not be induced even to recognize the confederacy, though such a step would not necessarily lead towar. The report that he is about to invite Russia to join him in an offer of mediation is simply absurd, 1_e is not likely to makea proposition of this kind, for the double reason that he kaows Russia would not unite with him in such an offer, and that if she did it would be indig- nantly rejected by us. The English tory press are very anxious to divert to France all the odium and ill-feeling engendered by the intervention cry. The Lon- don Times innocently wonders at the hostility evoked in America against England, and pro- feases itself wholly ata loss to account for it. It will not succeed in shifting from itself and the factions associated with it the responsibility of creating this feeling. Intervention being no longer possible, it would be very convenient now to wipe out the memory of the bitter re- vilings and insults which were heaped upon us in the supposed hour of our weakness. The truth is, that the advocates of intervention both in England and France have become alarmed at the consequences of their acts. When the war first broke out they had not the remotest idea of the proportions which the contest was about to assume, or of the tremendous armies that we could call into the field. The conflicts of a civil war in which three hundred thousand men are arrayed against each other on the same battle field, and in which the losses reach from twenty to thirty thousand on each side, are something that the European mind had not grasped or considered possible. Such evidences of the magnitude of our mili- tary resources appal it, for it can find nothing like it in its own history. And when, in addi- tion to the six hundred thousand men already placed in the field by the North, it sees her pre- paring to raise three hundred thousand more by voluntary enlistment, it naturally stands aghast at the spectacle. No one in Europe be- lieved we could do this at the commencement of the war. So little is really known about us in either France or England that it was not to be wondered at that our strength should be underrated, and that now, when it is being rapidly developed, the jibes, the sneers and the depreciation of our military capabili- ties in which English and French writers in- dulged should give place to apprehension. From styling us “the most contemptible,” the London Times has got to designating us “the most dangerous, people in the world.” This means that it would not be safe to meddle with us—an opinion in which the press of Canada appears to concur, from the marked change that has taken place in its language towards us. We owe this revolution of tone not to the good sense or moderation of our foreign detractors, but to the startling statis- tics of our naval and military strength and the big battles that we are fighting here. When the good feeling of the European governments is no longer to be counted upon it is a satisfac- tion to know that we can appeal to their fears. AsriywaL1’s Famous Donation To THE Govers- meNtT.—The newspapers of yesterday state that Mr. William H. Aspinwall has donated twenty- five thousand dollars to increase the finances of the government. Twenty-five thousand dollars, though it will go but a very little way towards paying the daily expenses of this war, is still quite a large sum for a private citizen to give to the government. But, unfortunately, it appears that this benevolent Aspinwall has realiy made no donation at all. The money he gave to the government was simply his profit upon a gov- ernment gun contract; so that the government receives back only what it paid out, and is really no better off than before, although Mr. Aspinwall gets plenty of praises. Why, this is not half so liberal a donation as the three thou- sand dollars and one year’s service of the Hen- rietta, which we contributed to the government out and out, from our private purse, and with- out any gun or ship contracts whatever. But the best of this rich joke is that Mr. Aspinwall is said to have made more money than Morgan by buying and selling ships for the government. The twenty-five thousand dollars profit on his gun contracts Mr. Aspinwall returns to the government, but the one hundred thousand dollars profit upon his government ship opera- tions he puts in his own pocket. This is a very wicked and credulous world; and so Mr. As- pinwall makes seventy-five thousand dollars, a clear conscience and a first class patriotic repu- tation, by these transactions. If he would re- turn all bis profits on government contracts, and could induce two-and-a-half-per-cent Morgan to do the same, then the affair might deserve to be gazetted in one of Secretary Stanton’s characteristic bulletins. Geverat Hatieck’s Antecepents.—All that is known of General Halleck is entirely favorable to him as an educated, able and accomplished soldier. He is a graduate of West Point Academy; and his works on the art of war give indication of @ superior and origi- nal mind, which education only developed. When be went to Missouri to assume command of the department from which Fremont was removed he found eversthiny ‘n confusion, He soon established order and discip- His masterly strategy drove the enemy om Columbus, and gave Fort Donelson to our arms. After the disaster at Shiloh—for which he was not accountable—he organized a demoralized army with so much ability that he drove Beauregard to the wall at Corinth, and compelled him to make a precipi- tate retreat after all bis vain-glorions boasting. His career in the Southwest has been brilliant in the extreme. In particular he has distin. guished himself for his administrative qualities, He is a st nand aman of sense as well as a soldie a very important consideration in a civil war, in which sound policy is as essen- tial to success as military genius. In his new capacity at Washington he will bring harmony out of chaos. He is in full accord with Genera, McClellan and the other geverals, and he is just the man for the place, Posta Avrairs.—The important postal re- form bill introduced in the House of Repre- sentatives by the Hon. Mr. Hutchins, of Ohio, goes over, with other proposed mea- sures of public interest, to the next session of Congress. This is, perhaps, better than to have passed it without a proper and full considera- tion of the many material changes in our postal system which it embraces. Its principal fea- tures are understood to have received the sanc- IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON. The Expected Arrival of Gen. Halleck. Is He to be Commander-in-Chief, Secretary .or War or Military Adviser? tion of the present head of the Post Office &., &., &. Department. oe t It is due to Postmaster General Blair Wasuoroy, July 19, 1862. to say that, in our judgment, he has man. aged his department with ability and sound discretion, and his administration appears to have been skillful, energetic and honest. Under his instructions and sanction important reforms are now being carried out in this and other large cities, and it is only necessary to call his attention to official abuses or short- comings of any kind on the part of his subor- dinates, or to imperfections in any branch of the mail service, in order to secure a strict accountability and a speedy removal of the causes of all such evils when discovered. The prompt measures he has taken to restore postal facilities as fast as important Southern points have been recovered and brought under the United States authorities at once entitle him to the thanks of the entire country, and are creditable alike to his patriotism and his official enterprise. Tux Latest Lonpox Sensation.—We publish in another column this morning two very sin- gular letters—the one from the columns of the London Times, and the other from one of our London correspondents. It seems that a noto- rious courtezan bas become the rage in London. Titled ladies ape her dreas, imitate her deport- ment and try to rival her equipage. English nobiemen follow her carriage, chat with her in public, and admiringly attend upon her while she swears at cabmen and berates street sweep- ers. The avenues of Hyde Park—along which she drives—are daily crowded with fashionable and noble ladies and gentlemen, who sit and stand by the roadway to do her the homage of admiration as she passes by. This sketch, from the leading London journal, is a significant picture of the condition of London society. In Paris such a disgusting furor would be impos- sible, and in New York the police would very soon take charge of such a vulgar woman as this heroine of the London Times. Some important movements are on the tapis to give Unity and force to the military plans of the government for the speedy suppression of the rebellion. The city is fall of rumors relative to the expected arrival of General Halleck. Some put him in the War Office ; some make him Commander-in-Chief of the army ; some send him dowa to th James river and recall General McClolian, My information is a littie more positive. I have autho- rity for stating to you that General Halleck does not come here as Commander-in-Chief of the armies of the Union. He may bo appointed Secretary of War; but it is believed in well informed circles,that Mr. Stanton will retire to relieve the President of all embarrassment, and that Mr. Lincoln will make General Banks Secretary of War, with General Hallock as military adviser. THE RADICALS AND GENERAL HALLECK. ‘The radicals admit that General Halleck is coming hither totake command ef all the armies of the United ‘States, and Union men indulge in high hopes that such may bethe fact. While General McClellan occupied the same position his policy received the undisputed appro- bation and admiration of General Halleck, and the friends of the former hail with delight the restoratien of a mili- tary head to the control of military affairs. The radicals in Congress have assailed General Halleck for approaching Corinth by gradual lines of earthworks that measured in all forty-five miles; also for refusing to allow negroes te come and go through our lines, The successful combina- tions in the West, by which he has driven the rebels down into the region of Yellow Jack, prove practically the wisdom of his course, and shows his fitness for the position, if it should be assigned him. THE COMMAND-IN-CHIEF OF THE ARMY REFUSED BY GENERAL M’CLELLAN AND GENERAL POPE. It is understood here, that during the recent visit o¢ the President to tho army on James river he asked Gen. MeClellan if he desired to resume the command of the whole army of the United States, and that the General preferred to retain bis command of the forces now under him. It {s stated,also, that the chief command has been offered to Major General Pope and declined. WHAT IS SAID OF GENERAL POPE’S OPERATIONS. General Pope’s handling of the troops hereahouts is gratifying, and the people aro again filled with confidence aad courage. THE RUMORED FIGHT BETWEEN STONEWALL JACK- SON AND GENERAL SIGEL. ‘So far as is known at the War Department, there is no foundation for the rumored defeat of Stonewall Jackson by General Sigel. It is not known that any engagement has taken place of late, INTERESTING ACCOUNTS FROM RICHMOND. A free colored man, who was impressed into the rebel service in Virginia on the breaking out of the rebellion, and bas beon lately in the immediate eraploy of General Longstreet, has roached Washington, having escaped from Richmond duriwg the confusion there following upon the late battles. He is really of the intelligent order we so much read about, having “been to Liberia and to other ports, where he has been placed in positions of trust. Ale states that the rebel loss in killed, wounded and missing in the seven days battles is admitted at Rich, mond to amount to 32,000. The Confederate army num. bered in the neighborhood of 250,000. The fact of the close conscription accounts sufficiently for their being able to gather go large a force. In fact, all the men liable to mili tary duty are in the ranks except such as got substitutes from Maryland or frem those over or under the legal age. Numbere of the Confederate wounded brought into Richmond were the merest boys. ‘The Confederates are dosperate in view of the fact that ‘heir present army cannot be replaced, having utterly ex- hansted the fighting material of the South. Not only the whites, but the blacks of the country have been swep, into the Confederate ranks—the latter for ixboring pur- poses, and consequently the grain crops are in many places wasting in the fields for want of hands to harvest them. ‘The stampedes of slaves towards the North Star has crippled the harvesting operations in the vicinity of Fredericksburg. The contrabands in leaving have helped themselves not only to their own freedom, but have left their masters minus everything in the shape of horses and carriages that would facilitate their movements. There are considerable quantities of old wheat on hand yet througheut Virginia. Considerable hay has been raised this year in Virginia, but little or no corn has been planted, the able bodied whites of the South having boon exhausted by the conscription. The rebels seriously talk of arming the negroes. They seem to put faith in the fidelity of the negroes, or their own ability to make them faithful, but seem doubtful if the negroes, from the eutire ‘unacquaintance with fire- arms, will acquire any facility in their use. Gen. Ewell was severely wounded in tho neck at the Richmond battles. Gen. Joe Johnston had experienced a relapse from un- dertaking to get out too seon, and mortification of his wound was feared. James Barbour has been an acting aid to Gen. Ewell, and Jobn &. Barbour, President of the Orange and Alex- andria Railroad, aid to Gen. Johnston. ‘THE ISSUE OF POSTAGE STAMPS. Itts supposed that the business of issuing postage stamps will be continued with the Postmaster General, if for no other reason than that their diffusion through postmasters will be more general and less expensive than by any other mode. The amount in dollars of this spe- cies of currency that will always be in the hands of the people for purposes of small business transactions, will reach many millions, and to that extent will ba so much absolute gain to the Treasury. Some banking establish. ments here, that have been circulating one doilar notes, and had purposed putting forth twenty-five cont issues, suddenly find their occupation gone. THE NEW LEVY OF TROOPS. As the law stands toushing the new levy of tr-sps, the army may in the aggregate amount to within a fraction of a million of men. ILLINOIS’ RESPONSE TO THE CALL Por TROOPS. ‘The Governor of Iliinots writes to the President that he has one hundred full companies ready for service under the recent call for additional troope.. The quota of Mili, ois under this call is nine regiments. The Governor wants to know if tho government wii! not accept the ad- ditional regiment. ARRIVAL OF GENERAL SICKLES. General Daniei F. Sickles arrived here to-day. His brigade has been greatly reduced in tbe heat of the recent battles of the Peninsula, and by its gallantry has won the name it bears—" Excelsior,” ARRIVAL OF COLONEL CAMPBELL Among the arrivals here is that of Colonel Campbell, of the Fifty seventh Pennsylvania Volunteers, who was very dangerously wounded at the battle of Fair Onks. It was feared he would not recover, but bis friends will be gratified to know that he will soon be in the field again, THE ASPECT OF THE CiTY. ‘The absence of members of Congress is not seen in the great crowd of people that is constantly here, and is not felt save in a deep sense of relief from the perils that impended from their mischievous conduct. Some are here to press the claims of aspirants for oflices under the Exeise act; but whore there is more patronage in a large way at the diaposal of the President they will infailibly give vent to calumnies upon him that are now exprossed from mercenary considerations. MOVEMENTS OF THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR. ‘The Hon. Caleb B. Smith will leave for Bendford, for his health, on Monday, and Assistant Secrotary U- 8. Ushor being absent, Watson J, Smith, Ksq., Chier Clark, will act as Secretary pro tem. of the Interior De partment in his absence. JUDICIAL APPOINTMENT. Connolly J. Twigg, of Knoxville, Tenn., the last Union candidate for governor of Tennessee, was nominated by the P nton Thursday, and forthwith confirmed by Evrscr or THE News or Tae Ricumonp Bat. TLES IN Enouanp.— There can be no more satis- factory proof of the utter extinguishment of the intervention party in England than the manner in which the news of McClellan’s reverses—for such they must have appeared from the first ac- counts that reached them—were received. In- stead of giving fresh life to the cry for inter- ference, as might have been expected would be the case, we find that it simply led to specula- tions on the probable prolongation of the war. With the experience of the results of the battle of Bull run be- fore them, the British public were not a second time betrayed into the folly of suppos- ing that, because the North might meet with one or even a series of important defeats, its determination or ability to put down the re- bellion would be influenced by them. They must have felt, on the contrary, that another great temporary advantage gained by the South would only have the effect of bringing upon the latter more wide-spread suffering and mis by reodering the war one of conquest and subjugation. When they come to learn that the battles that have been recently fought on the peninsula had for their result a change of position of the highest stra- tegical and sanitary importance to our army, they will congratulate themselves on their caution. As we have said, the absence of all allusions to intervention shows conclusively that whatever may be the wishes of secessionist sympathizers at the other side, their hopes upon that subject are utterly dead. Postrace Sramps as Corrency.—The passage by Congress of a bill making postage stamps a legal tender has created an uausual demand for the stamps in this city. The Post Office is besieged by crowds of stamp purchasers every day. The receipts for stamps at our city Post Office, before the passage of the bill referred to, averaged about two thousand dollars. On Friday ten thousand and on Saturday nearly fifteen thousand dollars worth of stamps were sold. At this rate New York city will soon be relieved of any trouble about small change.

Looe | a that three hundred recruits in an old, well giisciplined and thoroughly tried regiment, are worth » thousand Yaw men in an entirely new organization. There are, also, many advantages accruing to the recruits them” selves, which should lead them greatly to prefer enlist- ing in the regiments that have already wou s name upom the field of battle. THE WAITERS AT WILLARD’S HOTEL, ‘The reasons assigned in the Tribune this morning why the white waiters had left Willard’s aro wholly false, The facts are—First, most of the white waiters, inding that thoy were wanted in the field before Richmond, at the suggestion’of Messrs, Sykes, Chadwick & Co., enlisted in the army, and their places had to be supplied by other help; second, the darkeys in the army, when they found that they were to be used in @igging trenches, &c., ske- daddied and came to Washington, where they could indulge their inclination to laziness. The result wasa surplus of half starved negroes and nogresses, who had to be em- ployed at some price to avoid an avalanche of pauper funerals. Hence the proprietors of Willard’s Hotel em ployed them us waiters. The President's Message nad nothing to do with the change, Tho proprietors of the hotel are anxious to sustain the President and the ad- ministration, but they have no official position which makes them “ subordinates” of the President. NEGROES AS WITNESSES IN COURTS. A great deal of astonishment and indignation is ex- pressed here, on the discovery that a section was smug- led into the act supplementary to the act for the release of certain persons held te service or labor in the District of Columbia, which places the negro upon an oquality with a white man in the courts of justice here, The sectien alluded to provides, that in all judicial proceedings in the District of Columbia there sball be no exclusion of any witnoas on account of color. Even in Ohio, where there are few negroes, in conferring upom them the right to testify in the courts, it was decrecd that their testi> mony should go to the jury for only what it was worth- ‘The sudden elevation of the negro just emancipated to an ‘equality with white men in the capital of the nation @ regarded as something worse than an indigcretien or an error of judgment. THE PATENT OFFICE FUND, Through the energetic action of John T. Hayes, Eeq., Chief Clerk of the Patent Office, Congress made an appro- priation of fifty thousana dollars in aid of the patent fund, which had been exhausted during the past year in carrying out a silly law requiring ten copies of specifica- tions of each patent to be furnished. These were so much lumber, and delayed the transaction of business to avery great extent. Dispensing with this sort of werk will throw a large number of employes out of the govern- ment service. THE OVERLAND MAIL. ‘The overland mail service has been suspended in con- sequence of the removing of stock, &c., preliminary to changing the reute, which will strike off at Julesburg and follow the Cherokee trail through Bridger’s Pass to Sait Lake, and thence to the Pacific. This arrangement will savo one hundred and fifty miles of travel and protect the coaches from Indian depredations. The telographio wires will, it is said, necessarily be changed to the new mail line, After the last sea mail to California— namely, on the 2ist instant—the overland service will be resumed, APPOINTMENT, James S. Hallowell has been appointed Disbarsing Officer of the Post Office Department and Superintendent of the building in place of E. J. Hall, dismissed. DEATHS OF SOLDIERS.
