Not a Shadow of a Hope for Foreign Intervention. meee SAVAGE ATTACK ON THE BRITISH LION, THE CROPS IN VIRGINIA, Summary Disposal of the Rebel Substi- tute Brokerage, Reo key &e. Foreign Intervention. f¥rom the Richmond Examiner, August 9.1 ‘Tho first mouths of this war saw the South acti the offensive on every part of is graud theatre. « embarrassed for some time by that astonishingly conservative temper of her people which na.te them loth to abandon a Union which she had expended much effort to establish, but which hod fora jong time been made ‘the instrument of jutinite insult, robbery, wrong and in- justice upon her. In spite of this sen(iment the South ‘assumod the aggressive, and maintained it successfully for the full period of six months in the first stages of the war, B Since then he Sou'h has he'd a more humiliating attr tude Shehas veesded from the boundary which she had murked «ut for the Comfederacy—she hus retreited and shit’: back at the approach of the enemy; and it is ovly very lately that she bas begun to act again, in aggres sion, her true line of policy. It it were asked what waa the wecret of this change of attitude, after a period of fighting in which she hed won every battle, it could be replied with truth that it was owing to this fact more than to any whatever, that she was lulled \pto remiseness of preparation and rejaxation of effort Dy a fatal detusion which seized her rulers and legis- ators thot ‘he creat European Power: Britain at their heaa, were about te interfere to coerce a cessa- tic a 0. hosti ities. Stekened by long deferred hope, ihe public have lost, to some even’, Us veltance nes oe ie. pps but it is strange how eagerly t ic andyflicial mind even now tusna with fond confidence to every rumar that comes bearing this premise from across the Atlantic. Consideriig the sad face this vain reliance placed upon the war for several months, aud the bumiliation, defeats and prodigious losses it Deought upon the coqutry, it be- comes the duty of the press to protest, with and reiteration, agaist a further indvlgence of termination of this war than shall be effected ‘by her gorernment, the vigor of her policy and the resistiess prowess of her armies. If we shall succeed in eradicating trom the public mind every seed of this fatal hallucination, and in bringing go- vornment and peop!s to rely only upon the power of their own armies for independenee and peace, we shall have performed an casential service; for, even theugh the policy and measures founded upon such a trust should turn out (o be unnecessary, still our case would be for- tunate; for it reflects miluitely more eredit upon a pation to be prepared for a conflict that may never come, than be uaready for an emergency which may tax all its powers. Such is the cond! jo of European ps Powers of that continent cannot <afety upon any important poliey without the the rest: trom which fact it follows, controlling a Power as Great Br sentiment or opposed mn interest to tM termination of the % the interference of other European Powel ¢ could only be after a long period of de- that the great ‘uture to euter -Oneration of all sof Creat Britain arc opposed to an early cossation of the American war is a proposition that has been male, and leas often as nec It has deen pointed out in the most effect and most summur our system r it is only of the many seized lo exhibit her hos Her war upon slave en states, for slavery very in Cuba she tolerates—has been of more than thi yeors continuance. Her policy has been shrewa and sys- tematic in the extreme. ‘To give the color of sincerity, she abolished slavery in the West ludics—a triffiog mater at best—with immense parade and ostcntation, sacrificing her Jittle interests there to the great oues at home aua iu her other colonies. As sosnas possible the war was carried into America, English emissaries were sent over into the uon-slave- hol ing Siatrs to educate their people into the same holy horror into which she had previously worked herself. Tuese emisearies came not empty-handed, but brought an abundance of English goid to hire assistants, defray expenses, purchase presses and keep them running. Never, perbaps, did emissaries work th more ener- getic "perseverance. Their oratorical howls over “the horrors of slavery? were sent up at all points of the free States which they were al- lowed to visit. Their presses, runni night aud day, scattered the vile fabrications of English abolition. ism over the land. They, it is true, American hélpers in their infernal work; but wherever a gang of ‘these itine.ant abolitionists were found, an aD was their leader. English goid paid their unholy wages aud English chicanery directed their labors. heir early ¢ torts were not encouraging, since, in 1644—a dozen years after the crusade commenced, and a‘ter spasmodic ap- peals to support Birney, an abolition candidate, against Clay and Votk, both gay they succeeded in pol!- ing but for ty thousand votes out ef @ total of a million aud three-quarters atthe North. But Eugland was not the na- tion to be discou! |. She had expended but a.dozen years cheap at aceutury’sefior’. ef abolitionism over a broad area,and had only to cultivate it assiduasly to reap, in duo time, an abi t harvest. And % all recollect how, a few years ago, at the World’s Con- vention, the Pe ccongee hs ono were insulted by Lord Brougham’s exulting introduction of a “reverend’’ negro.

This order, if enforced thronghout tho country, would establish the most thorough and absolute military despot- ism that ever disgraced any age or nation. ‘The idea that the people shall not be allowed to criticise the conduct of their agents is too monstrous for contemplation. The privilege of the press to expose official incompetency is its highest birthright, and the unshackled excrciso of that power the strongest safeguard of liberty. ch an as- sumption of authority has not been attempted or con ceived even by Lincoln, It “out-Herods Herod.” ‘A cotemporary well remarks that an independent press and an independent people will not submit to such an ar- bitrary edict.

But as a citt zen of Newburg, having a personal pride in the fair fame of the town and its townsmen, J have @ patriotic desire that the quota may yet be filled, to the last man, by voluntary enlistments before the day of drafting arrives. Sueb 4 fact (it it can be achieved) would crown the town with arare henor, in which every citizen would feel a glowing ehare of satisfaction and triumph. Six Hundred men are wanted out of a population of fit. teen thousand—one regiment from the whole town, Cor. tainly the proportion is not unreasonably large. The fit men are ready at hand, and willing to go: etéady youn, men, with small families or none, active, enthusiastic an manly, in whoge veins flows brave blood, who, in begin- ning their ie career, ean find no opportunity for usorul- nese and distinction eqaal to the honorable service of their country. But among’ these men who are abundantly willing to go, and to go without waiting for a draft, there has beem of lite @ reluctance to volunteer, because of @ cemmon im- pression (which they do not hesitate to exproes in the older and wealthier men of the town enough in their speech in pledging themselves to take care of the families of those who take the fel. It is my firm convietion that the men fitted to form the rank and file of the needed new regiments if they could be satisfactorily assured, by palyabie proof hot to be mis taken, that we are with them, hoart soul and pocket, the antl m for volunteering would in afew days be greg and the quota so speedily gathored that om the 15th of August we might witness at W: 's Headquar. tors a muster of the whole hundred, without a con. script among them.

THE DRAFT CALL—COMMUNICATIONS 4S TO THR SAME—WHO ARE EXEMPT AND WHO ARE NOT. ‘The State's quota of troops under the draft call will be nearly sixty thousand men, and the quota of New York county 12,518. When is taken into consideration the great population of this State, the chances are that thore will be but one out of every forty who will bo compelled to shoulder the musket, Almost every person you meet ems to forget this fact, and nocessarily a geod deal of fright and worrying is harrowed up. The Empire State, from its vast resources, is well able to bear this burthen of a draft; ana it is to be hoped that whon a draft does commence it will be met with that quietness and sacri- fice which is due to the cause and to the patriotism which should pervade every true lover of his country: Notwithstanding the number of would-be-exompts who have for the past few days huried to the City Hall and other places, there aro still thousands of brave men left who will not shrink from the path of duty wneo their country is in danger; and though compelled to do military duty, yet the very necessity for that compul- sion makes them tho stronger in their nation’s defenc3 and more terrible in the eyes of any enemy that may be encountered. ‘The ruies and regulations in relation to the carrying ont of this draft will bo issued by Governor Morgan to-day or to-morrow. With regard to those who are exempt and those who are not, and the difforent points of argument which haye recently A ta in regard to the same, will probably all be sett! in the order coming from the Executive of the State, In respect to the call, hundreds of communications have been addressed to this office as to who are exempt and who are not. them possess @ large amount of conjecture and legal in- quiry which will hereafter be the subject of much dis- cussion and inquiry if a draft doos actually take place in this State. Several of these communicatinns cannot be at present answered until the government shall determine upon the intricate questions brought up fur adjudication by the, stirring events which are now agitating the coun- try. There are different opimons expressed relative to those matters, and even the great minds of the cowtry are antagonisti¢ in arguing the various points peculiar to them, The following, however, appear to be, according to the opinion of high miltary authorities, true answers to most of the leading inquiries which bave been made in relation ¢o this Hability of a draft:— ‘The three months’ men who fougixt at the battle of Bull run, and haye since been discharged, are subject to a drait, An alien who has declared his intention to become a sworn alle- nouncing any allegiance which he A British subject belonging to the } York National Guard is not liable. Io regard to the liability of active firemen, it is a fact that the United States law enforces heir liability, and the State law aoes not: However, there is no doubt but that the former will overrule the latter.

There is a po however, which must be remembered by all. When country is actually placed under martial law, and it comes necessary t stri force the requiror pertaining to stich a condition of things, the government is hable to p i pal and State ws that y deem ec wl. This will lead to the fact that there may be diflorent ideas in relation to those who may or maytnot be hable to the dr is such a thing at all takes plice. THE MUSTERING OFYICE—IMMENSE NUMD CRUITS. At the mustering office in White street, the Medical In speetor, Dr. Mott, aud his efficient assistant, Dr. Gahun. have been as busy as possilble for any two men to be in aitending to military inspections.
