Our correspondence from General McClellan's army is interesting, and in one particular ex- tremely important. A returned prisoner states that one hundred heavy guns passed the prison where he was confined, en route for General Jack- sou, who had been heavily reinforced for some days previously. From General Pope's army we learn that Generals Milroy and Buford, with their brigades o! nfantry and cavalry, crossed the Rapidan in pur- suit of the enemy. the rebel General Jackson's baggage It appears they were in full view of trains, but it was said that Jackson himself would not make @ stand until he had reached Orange Court House. General Pope’s official report of Seturday’s contest will be found very interesting. The news from the Department of the South gives us the information that the rebel steamer General Lee has been captured near Savannah for violation of the flag of truce.

Tt is rumored that General Benham has been dis- miss®d the service of the United States, in conse- quence of his conduct at James Island, South Carolina. We have received Richmond papers of the 12th inst., from which we compile sud publish in this Morning's Heuat the latest news from the rebe! capital, The suid papers, although published two days after the battle of Cedar Mountain, have only vague accounts of that affair in the usual menda- cious style, claiming a victory over General Popes army. having ten thousand troops in the fight and the choice of position, while General Banks had only between six and seven thousand men. The rebels adi The rebel papers account for their rewisness in not furnishing their readers the par- ticulars of the battle by saying that “‘all telegraph communication between Gordunsville and this city (Richmond), was cut off by the coincidence of the breaking of the wire Lynchb 8 along the Central road and between gund Richmond, and up toa late Lour last night (12th inst.) remained closed.” A number of Union prison ‘* fyom General Pope's army had arrived in Richmond. They were put “in solitary confinement, in conformity with instractious, aud the rule, as enforced, will not be departed from under any consideration whatever.” Among the prisoners was Brigadier General Prince and thirty-four officers. The Riehmond Dispatch says that henceforth their principle shall be ‘‘an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth and a life for a life.” A special despatch received at Richmond from Jackson, Mississippi, dated the 10th instant, says:—''Twenty-seven federal prisoners arrived here to-day from Baton Rouge. * * * * Con: federate guevilias are yery active and successful in Arkansas." Phe Richmond Leaminer of the 12th instant, soys:—'Tt was confidently asserted on the street corners yesterday that McClellan was eracaating his encampment on James river.’ MISCELLANEOUS NIWS. Ano important address waa delivered at 00 Feliows Hall, Washington, by the Hon. Cassiv: Clay, on Toesday night last, im which he entered into explanations relative to the feelings existing on the part of England, France and Russia in regord to the present rebellion. His statements with reference to Russia will be read with great inter- est. We publish @ full report of the speech in another column, ‘The story that the rebel steamship Star of the West has made her appearance at Vicksburg, {ton clad with railroad bars, and mounting twen- ty-two guns, is “a weak invention of the ene- @y.”’ The evidence that she is not at Vicksburg, NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1862. ‘as represented, is almost a9 abundant as that pro- duced by the defence ima certain suit, for da- wages claimed for a cracked pot. In the first place, the Stor of the West was destroyed at New Or'eins aftee Commodore Farragut passed the hatteries below that city. Secondly, she could not be taken far up the Yazoo river, even at the best stage of water, as she was a vessel of nearly twelve hundred tons burthen, and drew twelve feet of water, without cargo. And lastly, if maided with railroad iron and mounted with aa armament of twenty-two guas, it cannot be ex. pected she could descend that river—which is barely navigable for dfty miles in a freshet—at the present low stage of water, Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, thinks there are enough disabled soldiers competent to per- form the duties of assessors and tax collectors under the United States revenue lawa, and he ad- vises President Lincoln to appoint them, Able bodied American skedaddlers are stealing their way over to Canada, and taking the oath of allegiance to the British government, to avoid the draft. Three over-zealous reside ata of Detroit went to Windsor, Canada, last week, and kidnapped a noisy Southern born secessionist and brought him on this side of the line. He of course was duly re- turned by the authorities, and an apology must necessarily be given to the British officials. Hon. Thomas D, Eliot, representative in Con- gress from the First district of Massachusetts, thinks he will not be @ candidate for re-electien. Another Monroe county regiment, the second under the new call, will leave for Washington on Monday next. There are sixty hospitals in Richmond. Allow- ing each to contain two hundred patients—which is a very small average—the aggregate of sick and wounded rebel soldiers in that city would be twelve thousand. At the meeting of the Commiasioners of Chari- ties and Correction yesterday, in response to a re- quest from Dr. Sloane, the United States Medical Director in New York, the Board agreed to make immediate preparations for the reception of fifteen hundred additional «"-' and wounded soldiers from the seat of war. There are at present four hun- dred and twenty-nine .ick and wounded under the of the Commissioners. Out of eight hundred received by them, in all stages of suffering from disease and wounds, since the war commenced, only twenty-five have died. The number of in- mates in the public institutions now is 6,762. The number admitted last week was 2,243, and the number who left was 2,274, making a decrease for the week of thirty-one. The stock market was active yesterday, and govern- ments were higher. There was a good deal of selling to realize profits on the general list, and prices left off about where they were on Wednesday evening. A few of the Western shares were a fraction higher. Goll and ox- change took an upward start, the former selling at 116, and closing at 1154; bid, the latter closing at 123 a 3. Money was abundant at four per cent.

The war goes bravely on. The official re- port from General Pope of the*late battle of Cedar Mountain will satisfy our intelligent readers that he is more than a match for Stone- wall Jackson, and that the aggressive move- ments of the enemy towards Washington have been signally overthrown. We are confident now that the rehel army of Jackson is receding never to return: for while General Pope is pur- suing it the newJroops raised under the Presi- dent's late call for three hundred thousand volunteers are moving on to Washington, where they will be placed in camps of instruc- tion, under the command of General Casey, across the Potomac. Thus the older troops now in those fortifications, to the extent of twenty or thirty thousand men, may doubtless within a few days be added to the army of General Pope, so that before the enemy can recover from thelr late defeat our gallant Army of Virginia will be fully competent to take care of any rebel force which can possibly be brought against it. But for the last twenty-four hours Rumor, with hey hundred tongues, has been most active- ly employed with the army of General McClel- Jan. Thus it isintimated from various sources that the whole Army of the Potomac is in mo- tion; that a most important military movement is on foot at Harrison's Landing, and that we shall most probably discover what it is with the evacnation of the James river peninsula by General McClellan; that the removal of his sick and wounded, and the sppearance of cer- tain pontoon bridges within his lines, unmistak- ably indicate his intentions. But in the lat anthentic from the James river find nothing to show whether it is McClell purpose to remain a few days longer at Harri- son's Landing or to move across the river for an attack upon Petersburg, to cut off the enemy's sapplies in that direction, or to move up towards Richmond, by way of Malvern Till, with our gunboats at his side, or to croa« over to the York river for a new trial for the front door of Richmond, in conjunction with the advancing army of General Pope. In the absence of any positive facts we dis- miss all the-rumors, reports, conjeqgures, specu- lations and inventions of the day in reference to General McClellan, and await in patience and confidence the substantial developments of ac- tual events. If the Army of the Potomac, less than a hundred thousand strong, has failed in ite great enterprise of marching into Richmond, against the opposing rebel forces of two hun- dred thousand men, it bas still saved Wash- ington, our government and our country, in saving itself through that momentons and terrible struggle of seven days and nights, upon which depended the very life or death of the nation. The rebel leaders had planned the annibilation of McClellan's army, and, with his splendid artillery and bis baggage And pro- vision trams, they had counted apona triumphal marcb into Washington, and the dictation of a peace from the White House, supported by England and France. With the failure of this scheme of operations the rebellion has failed; for, while MeOlellan has still held the main body of the rebel army to the defence of Nich- mond, we have gained the time required to muster a new army in front, and to bring to the rescue this new levy of three handred thoneand volunivers. In this view of Uae campaign as it now stands, advices ’ 1 | and in view of the impending draft upon our loyal militia, which, in the course of another month, will give us additional army reinforce- ments to the extent of three hundred thousand men, it matters very little what may be the present movements of General MoClellan or Gen. Pope. It is sufficient to know that they will answer the purpose of distracting, weak- oning and cutting up. the enemy, right and left, until a few weeks hence, extending from the Potomac to the Mississippi river, there will be in motion, in several grand divisions, but all under the supreme direction of Gen. Halleck, an advancing Union army of nearly’a million of men. Thisgrand army will move as irre- sistibly southward over all impediments as moves a consuming fire in the dry grass of the prairies, under a roaring northeast wind. Be- fore the expiration of the present year, with less, perhaps, than half a dozen battles, our victorious troops will have this rebellion swept before them from Virginia, Tennessee and Ar- kansas, down into the Gulf of Mexico, or across the State of Texas and the Mexican boundary. The present movements of McClellan and Pope are among the mere preliminary prepara- tions for this overwhelming campaign. The rebellion has exhausted its strength and its re- sources. They were all staked upon the despe- rate game of destroying McClellan and captur- ing Washington. The attempt in both direc- tions has failed. The game is already lost to Jeff. Davis. He has lost his last opportunity for a coup d'etat, and his last chance for foreign intervention. The Richmond Examiner, in a melancholy diatribe against England’s treachery to the South and her hostility to Southern slavery, sounds the death knell of King Cotton as a political balance of power. The scales have fallen from the eyes of Davis and his confede- rates, and in the depths of despair they give vent to their maledictions against the perfidy of England. What a pity it is that our Southern revolutionary fire- eaters did not make this discovery of England's perfidious policy ten, five, or even so late as two years ago. What a fearful record of fire and sword, of slaughter and destruction, of blood and tears, destitution, suffering, sorrow and shame might thus have been prevented! How strange’ too, it appears that our Southern political leaders could not see from the begin- ning that England’s negro philanthropy, sown broadcast among our Norihern abolition dis- organizers, was designed for the destruction, not only of this Union, but of the South and its cotton monopoly. Now ghis discovery comes too late. There will be no intervention from England, or any other European Power, to detach our rebellious States from the Union. They must come bac ir Davis and his associate rulers ar will make a virtue of necessity, and surrender at discretion. They may thus escape the ex- treme penalties of pursuing justice, and avert from the suffering people they have betrayed the inevitable disasters of an overwhelming hostile invasion. Tae Exp or THE Oran or Tae Watt Srreet Conspirators.—The wicked World, the organ of the Wall street conspirators against the finances of the government, is about to come toanend. We understand that the bankers and bullionists who have been supporting the World lately, on condition that its columns should be devoted to their interests, now refuse to contribute any more money to sustain it, on the ground that it has no circulation and less infinence, and therefore does the couspiracy no good. It is more than likely, then, that the judgment day will eome with next pay day, and the World be utterly destroyed. The World has had a ckeckered career, end its games have now ended ina dead beat. It began existence as a pious newspaper, and for many months displayed all the enterprise and contained all the interesting information of a religious tract. The collections taken up in churches and Sabbath schools proving insufti- cient to maintain the broken down clergymen and ambitious deacons who edited this lively sheet, the concern passed into the charge of a hanger on of the War Department, and flour- ished for a while like a tree planted by river: of water. In point of fact, however, this simile does not hold good; for water had nothing whatever to do with the pecuniary prosperity of the World, but was reserved exclusively to dilute its edito- ris Army ale and porter, butter and cheese, codfish and pickled herrings, comprised the rich food upon which the World grew fat. Its prin- cipal proprietor also managed to increase its resources by government purchases of straw hats and linen pantaloons, all of which articles were furnished of sizes much too small for any soldier to wear, but exactly suit- ed to the children attached to the World estab- lishment. Times changed, and the World chang- ed with them. Investigating committees inter- fered to turn ihe World proprietor out of the rich contract gulch where he thrived so well, and the newspaper, not having ,any funds laid by for a rainy duy, was again put into the mar- ket and disposed of to the bighest bidder. An India rubber manufacturer bought it up as an advertising sheet, but was unable to give ite igeues away to the sensible public. The abolitionists then hired it for a while as their hand organ; but it lacked the andacity of the Evening Post, and the rampageous insanity of the Tribune, and was again discarded, Re cently it has been used as the organ of the Wall street bankers to attack the financial po- licy of Secretary Chase, to discourage enlist- ments, and to weaken public confidence in the President, his generals and the conduct of the war. Thus employed to do the dirty work of « silly conspiracy, the World has altogether lost the attention of the public, and {s never heard of except when, in our charity, we notice it in these columns. No one will be sorry, there- fore, to hear that it is about to die, and the pub- lic will only be astonished to learn that it has not been dead for some t ime past. - Govervon ANDREW AND ARM crows.—Governor Andrew, it seems, in the face of the decision of the Mresi- not to avm negroes in this war, has given divections to enroll blacks on the list the militia for the purpose of the draft. OF course they will bo rejected by the Army Commissioner who will be authorized to receive only white men But the object is to embarress the vernment, and it is but part of the 1 of the abolitionists to divide the people of the North and, what is more, to sow tho seeds of division in the army, in om to defent the objects of the wer and biing it to The acts of men like Governor Andrew are c alne to Jef. Davis than an army of o thousau’ me* Nw. > THE of Massachi den of an ignomtnious eud more huad ‘The Colered Race—Impudent Claims of a Black Demagvuguc. An impudent black fellow named Garnett, who somehow or other has got “Rey.” prefixed to his name, harangued his colored brethren on Sunday evening at Shiloh church, in Prine: street, in this city, on the persecutions and op- pressions which the black race are suffering at the North, This silly demagogue tries to in- flame the passions of bis audience by false statements, and by filling their heads with the foolish notion that they are equal if not superior to white men, and ought to have equal rights. He says the Hexaip has insti- gated mobs against the colored men. He knows that the truth is not in him, and that we have never done any such thing. On the con- trary, we have been always friendly to the colored man when he knew how to keep his place. But fellows like Garnett, tools of the abolitionists, lead the negroes astray by holding out to them delusive hopes, flatter- ing their vanity, and persuading them that they are even better than white men. By these machinations they are made to forget their place, and become insolent to white men and get into collisions with them. Garnett asks :— In the name uf God, the colored race demanded what they done to deserve Such persccution? Had :hey not enriched the whites by uurequited toil? Had not their fathers been sacriticed to lust and greed? Had not thou- sands, uppitied and unavenged, died on the altar of American slavery? They had literally qursed the men of the South; they fed the nation with rice, and supplied it with cotton and sugar. Tho poor and the prince were alike indobted to the negro, This is the place of the negro, and in his place he would be contented and happy were it not for agitators like Garnett, Beecher, Cheever, Conway, Greeley and Phillips. The negro is well requited by the protection he receives and by being taught civilization and Christianity by the while man, All that he is abbve the savage he owes to the American peo- ple, whose servant the Almighty has destined him tobe. But when Garnett claims that the negroes of New York are as industrious and as sober and as provident as the white man, and are more generally educated, that is more than a white man can stomach. Garnett gocs on to say — viatetne aloud outery against negro equality, and he was often arked if he thought a negro was equal to a white man? He answered; no—-not in vanity, or arro- gance, in pride, in the love of money, in the possession or wealth, the love of pewer und conquest, in numbers, or even in learning, But he did belteve they were intinilely superior to those who sought thus to persecute them. “Infinitely superior” to the white man! Our readers will observe how rapidly progressive is the impudence of these feliows under the teachings of the abolitionists. At first they claim only equality; they now insist upon “‘in- finite superiorit Allhistory, sacred and profane, our own expe- rience and human physiology have long since settled the question of negro inferiority. Cain was the first black man, and the negro race are descended from him. God puta black mark on him and made him an outeast. His posterity went to Africa, where they have remained to ibis day, the same savages and slaves that they were in the beginning. Their normal condition is slavery and incessant war. Their woinen tuke the field. At this day they offer human sacrifices in hetacombs, and their kings pave their court yards with human skulls. They have made no, progress in any kind of civilization— have no arts, no letters, no religion, except the worship of a fetish, Even here in America, where they have been semi-civilized, and have existed for upwards of two bundred years, they have never been able to rise above the level of their destiny--a servant to the white man. No ray of genius has ever beamed from a negroe’s head. What is the case wiih the white race? The civilization of Egypt and of Palestine is theirs— the civilization of Greece and Rome and of all modern nations. The arts and the sciences and Christianity itself are theirs. As putting a don- hey in the same stable with an Arabian blooded Lorse, and giving bim the same treatment, will never make a racer of him, so it is with the negro. God never intended him to be equal to the white man, and only in- fideis and impious fanatics and fgols have ever sought to transgress his laws by attempting’) the construction and completion of vessels of iron for the snch equality. In endeavoring to establish it in St. Domingo, Robespierre and the other French infidels spawned up by the Revolution caused the most horrid massacre known in history. Wendell Phillips, Horace Greeley and Garnett are stimulating the negroes to, the same crimes; but, in doing so, they are only driving them to destruction; for there can be no doubt as to the result of a war of races. The matter would be speedily settled by the extermination of the blacks. Let the negro keep in his place, and all will be well with him; but if not, not. Lrrerary Sroncers is Boru Hemispuenes.— ‘There is a class of writers in this country and in Europe whose connection with literature, though it has brought them notoriety, has re- flected but little credit on that noble pursuit. The reason is that they have devoted themselves to it, not with the lofty aims that should ani- iate tts votaries, but with the ambition merely of turning it toa mercenary account. Of this class Alphonse de Lamartine and Horace Greeley are the representative types. in saying this we do not mean to institute any parallel between the talents of the two writers. in that respect the one stands as much above the other as Milton is ahead of a modern poct- aster. It is in the objects and choice of means that respectively influence them that the eimi- ‘arity exists. From an early period of his life Lamartine, like Greeley, has been a literary spanger. Although his genius opened to him the promise of a brilliant and independent career, he sacrificed that independence by sell- ing himself to arich Englishwoman, whom he espoused for her money. Tormented still by the thirst of acquisitiveness, he made use of her wealth in the purchase of vast estates, which, so far from enriching him, have left him in a posi- tion little better than that of a mendicant. To save the property thus acquired from his credi- t he has been compelled to resort to shifts "1 devices of which any man of ordi- nary decency would feel ashamed. With a onsiderable revenue from bis works, a aominal income from his French property, ind something, we presume, from the rants of land made -him by the Sultan, as been engaged in as many schemes to alee the wind as a en down Wall street specidator, Of one of these our people, have Irother an unfortunate experience.

Thore is au unwillingness on the part of our peoplo, harsh as it may bo, for you colored people to remain with us. Now if you could give a start to the white people, you would open a wile door for many to be made free. If wo deal with those who are vot froe at the beginning, and whose intellects are clouded by slavery, we have very poor matorial to start with. “Wf intelligent colored mea, suo as are boli: me, would move ia this matter much might b» acecom plished, \It is exceedingly important that wo have te at (ho beginning capablo of thinking as white men, an@ not those who have been systematically oppressed ‘There is much to encourage you. For the sake of your race you should sacrificc something of your present com- fort, for tho purpose of being as grand in that respect aa the white people. It i a eleering thought, throughout life, that something can be done to ameliorate the condi tion of those who have been subject to the hard ugages of the world. It 1s difficult to make a man miserablo while he feels he is worthy of himself and claims kindred to the groat God who made him. In the Amorican Revolu- tionary war sacrifices wore made by men engaged im it, but they were cheered by the futuro. Generai Washington himself endured greater physical bara - ships than if he had remamed a@ British subject, yet he wasa happy man, because he was engaged im benefitting his race—something for the childron of his neighbors, having none of his own. The colony of Libe ria has been in existence a long time. Ina certain sense it tga success, The old President of Liberia, Roberts, has just been with me—the first time I ever saw him. He says they have within the bounds of that colony be- tween three and four hundred thousand people, or more than in some of our old States, such as Rhode Island aud Delaware, or in some of our newer States, and less than im ‘some of: our larger ones. They aro not all American colonists or their descendants. Something less thas twelve thousand have been sent thither from this coun- try. Many of the original settlers have died, yet ike people elsewhere, thelr offspring outnumber those de- ceased. The question is, if the colored people are per- suaded to go anywhere, why not there? One reason for an unwillinguess to do so is, that eome of. you would rather remain within reach of the country of your nativity. I do not know how much attachment you may havo toward our race. I¢ does not strike me that you have the greatest reason to lovethem. But still you are attached to them at aly events. The place I am thinking about having for a colony is in Central Amorica, It is nearer to us than Liberia—not much more than one-fourth as far as Liberia, and within seven days’ run by steamers, Onlike Liberia, it ison a great line of travel—it isa highway. ‘The country is a very excellent one for any people, and with great natural resources and advantages, and es- pecially because of the similarity of climate with your native land—thus being suited to your physical condition, ‘The particular place I have in view is to be a great highe way from thevAtlaitic, or Caribbean Sea, to the Pacifie calumniate us, and to this day he has not for- gotten his grievances against us. With Gree- ley he has this quality in common, that he never forgives those who refuse to enter {nto his views. It was this peculiarity that induced Guizot to say of him—“It surprises and sad- devs me that a man like M. dé Lamartine should be astonished and irritated at worldty disappointments. It is not alone the pain of his position, but the state of his feelings, such as he has revealed them to us, which [ cannot contemplate without melancholy.” In his last great sponging scheme—a sort of gift enter- prise for the sale of his works—he has again exposed himself to the bitter censure of his literary contemporaries, who naturally feel a sense of shame at the degradation to which a noble profession is subjected by such acts. Greeley’s course asa journalist has been cha- racterized by thesame greed of pelf and reckless disregard of public opinion. Commenciog a Dewspaper on insufficient means, and. with butsmall qualifications for it, he has contrived from time to time to bolsier it up by startiog new theories and projects entirely foreign to the business of journalism. Tirst he launched into the extravagances and absurdities of the Fourrierite, Graham bread, free love and free farm systems; then he took to abolitionism and gun contracts; and, finding that these do not pay, be has gone into the gold pencil and straw- berry plant gift enterprises, all for the purpose of increasing the subscription list of his journal, which has not sufficient interest in itself to go down with the public. These not taking, he will presently dash into some other eccentric scheme—probably a new hair dye or poudrette speculation—having for object, as usual, the raising of the means to keep the Tribune afloat. Of all the literary spongers that cupidity has made unpleasantly familiar to the European and American communities, Lamartine and Greeley confessedly bear away the palm. If there is a shade of superiority between them in point of ingenuity and impudence, it lies with Greeley. Necro Equariry—Resvxe or Tas “Lirtne Vuntain” By aN Army Orvicer—An article appeared in the New York Times of the 7th inst. stating that “a colored man” was an of- ficer in the Third New York Volunteers.

But if seinething is started so that you can get yous bred, a soon as you reach there, it is a great ad, of falsehood, but rebuking him further by in- forming bim that he was “proud to say that there was not an officer in the regiment but would resign if such an appointment should be made; neither did he think there was an en- listed man in the regiment that would serve in _the ranks with a negro.” This is manifestly the general sentiment of the army, and any attempt to oppose it would be as hopeless as stemining the tide with a pitchfork. Those, therelore. who propose it, do so only for purpose of mischief. They are playing more effectually into the hands of the enemy than if they openly became his recruiting sergeants.
