The news brought Ly the steamship Saxon at this port, irom New Orleans on the Sth inst., states that ihe negro brigade coutroversy between Major General butier and Gencral Phelps was still pending. Several communications, in addition to those alroudy published, had passed between those Ollicers, copies of which appear in to-day’s Henary. General Butler seems determined to parsue his here‘ofore go-ahead constitutional poli- cy, not turning to the right or the left to experi- ment with negro brigades. Quite a melee recently occurred in New Orleans Bra & band of armed runaway negroes and the “military and polfee, which resulted in the victory the latter over a score oF more of the former. Whe trade of New Orleans is commencing to show wespectable dimensions. The direct news of the late battle at Baton Bonge is still confined to the two despatches of the rebel General John C. Breckinridge to his master rebels at Richmond. The former claims a victory; but his despetches are so incoherent and hie sub- sequent conduct in retiring from the city so incon- sistent with a successful general’s movements, that we are led to believe his alleged success, when the facts become fully known, will prove to be a severo check, if not a total defeat.

Now, it is not yet eighteen months since the Prosident issued his first call for troops, and during that time more men have been raised and more battles fought than in any other coun- try in the same space of time. It is probable that one hundred and fifty thousand men have perished on each side. Cassius M. Clay says that two hundred aud fifiy thousand have fallen on our side alone. During the sane period a navy bas been extemporized which bas already wrought wonders, and will soon be in a condi- tion to resist the combined fleeis of Europe, should they venture to attack us. How, then, with any truth or justice, can the abolitionists represent the war as @ languishing one? But if there is any weight in what they say, what is the cause of the war flagging, and who are the men that have impeded its rapid progress and prevented a successful ter- mination of the struggle within the first year? Undoubtedly the radicals in Congress and their organs and orators outside of it. They forced General Scott into a premature attack on Ma- nassas by calling bim a coward and insinuating that he was a traitor. On a still larger seale, and with more disastrous results, they inter- fered with the combined movements of the armies of McClellan and Halleck, censing one to operate before the other was ready to vo- operate, and thus beiiiing the plan of the cam ain interfer: ona 7 c i paign. Still later th d, aud by ue : ate hag i m9 ists il ra their malign influence caused the division of the ¢ prison in Sacramento, which i. oe ‘ cape of two hundred prisoners, a Army of the Poiomae, but for which the digging wore subsequently rearrested, of the number were killed and ed. twenty-six woul Tue United States steam trovaport Missiseippi, Captain Baxter, arrived last night from Fortwess Monroe in twenty-six hours, bringing 626 sick and Wounded soldiers from Gen. McClellan's army. When the rebellion reached Virginia, and se- @aced the Ol! Dominion from her allegiance to the goverment she had done more to establish than any other State in the Union, there was, ‘wo believe, but one loyal journal in the State, and that was printed at Wheeling. Now we canenu- merate the foliowing:— Ravenswood Chronicle, Wheeling Intelligencer, Peeters Gazctte, Wellsburg feraid, Pairmowt National, Point Vieasant Register, Alexandria News, Norfolk Union, The Chicago Board of Trade Battery, for which about seventeen thousand dollars have been snb- seribed, contains one captain, four lieutenants, one orderly, one quartermaster, one ordnance aud six othor sergeants, twelve corporals and about two hundred privates.

The interference of politicians with generals in the field bas always been destructive to cam- paigns. By the meddling of politicians the Dake of Marlborough—one of the most success/itl gen- erals of ancieut or modern times—was prevented trom advanging on Paris, and most pernicious consequences resitted. Napoleon’s plaas were interfered with in tho early history of the French republic, and ke was sent to Wgypt in order to get rid of him. Of that Bylley_ Frange had tg eat the bitter fguits. Be if Tt how. All the deleys “and disaetta of the present cam- paign have beea cttsea py {he action of mep- bers of Congress, who know nothis ng of war, and very litile of Ise, and who did not value the exist five dollars. va these things, 7 further mistortune may tr ference, the nation will yet couut. There isa terrible reckoning re come, @ar Crops, Quostion und the Rebeltlon, Throughout-al! our toy a! States the crops of | © ‘the present year—those which have Leen gati- ered in and thoee which are maturing—aie almost without a parallel in quantity and quality. Our wheat crop, abundant and exce!- lent, gives us a Jurge margin from which to supply the deficiencies of England and Franee; and our Indian corn crop, strong and luxu- rient, indicates an extraerdinary yield, Of rye, oats, barley end grase the returns are good; of potatoes and all other vegetables we have never hed a better yield; end cur ripening fruits of all descriptions, unusually darge in size aud delicious in flavor, promise a glutting of the market at the cheapest rates. Our loyal States, therefore, are amply fortl- fied upon the important question of subsisie for a vigorous prosecution of the war, We l the greatest abundance of all the subotantials of life from which to supply our soldiers in the field and their families at home for the en: year, and a surplugage which will contr millions of money towards the payment of our vast expenditures in the work of suppressing this great Southern rebellion. The bulk of the labor in the production of all these essentials of subsistence having been accomplished, we can the more readily draw upon our agricultural population for those reinforcements to our army still required to Gill up the new requisitions for six hundred thousand men. Accordingly we find our rural districts taking the lead from cur cities in sending forward their new regi- menis to Washington. In addition to her cereals, Missouri this year is producing an extraorditiary tobacco crop; while Kentucky and Maryland have given to this important commercial. weed a large breadth of Jand, in cousequence of the high prices which tobacco commands with the two years’ crops of rebellious Virginia cut off ‘by our blockade, Thus our loyal stave States of Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky sad Missouri are gaining something upon this article of tobacco; while old Virginia, ia the slavish service of Jeff. Davis, is losing the use of this crop to the extent of five or six millions of dol- lars per aunum. The bread crops of the present year in our revolied States, and especially of that great Southern bread staple, Indian corn, are beyond all precedent, because the leads of sald States this season have been largely diverted from cotton to corn. Last year cur grain producing border slave States furnished the bulk of the provisions to the army and a large amount to the people of our rebellious States. But the war baviag cal off the rebellion from these sources of supply, the coiton States have been driven to th ment of subsisting themselves drought has m calculations. We dare say tin the article of Indian corn our ilious States, alter October next, will be abundantly supplied from their own fclds; but we appreleud tuat at present the rebel ‘army and the people sup- porting it are on very short allowances of ahd pork, and that their supplies wilibe 1 sened as the season advances. We think thas we are within the mark in put- ting down the cotton lands of the South appro- preted this year to Indian corn, beaus, peas, sweet potatoes, de. at three fourths of the whole amount. Of course upon thls basis we can hardly count this season upon more than one-fourth of our average Southern cottou crup. it wll probably be less from the immediaie pressure of the war upon the cotton Siates. We apprehend that one-fourth of the last years crop has already been destroyed by armed rebe! ries, and mostly in spite of the appeals and remonstrauces of the owners of t If the war, therelore, were ended to-day, all our Souther: cotton ef the present and the last years’ crops that could be seraped up by De cember.would hardly be equal to one year's average crop. What the amount oa band will be, with the advancement of our armies into the heart of the cotton States, we camiot under- take to guess; but trom the present Iigh and steadily iacreasing prices of ihe article, and from the newerous pressing and increasing wants of our cotton plaaters, uud from the danger menacing their peculiar institution, we are inclined to believe that, with the expulsion of Jef. Duvis trom Virginia, “ King Cotton” himseif wil) turn the scales against King Jett. and in favor of tke Union. Cut off from the last hope of foreign inter- vention, and hemmed in on every side by the contracting circle of our land and naval forces, we cannot believe that, after sxeriiicing one crop of cottun in two years, our Southern planters will cousent to sacrifice the other for Jeff. Davis, with Lis rebel governaeni expelied from Virginia and “without « local habitation or & name.” the cotton. ‘Tue New Exenann Neono Re There will be a great lime in New Ye the New England negro regimen is pass cbt igh on their way to Mast pingion, Ee & kode Island regmitint al probably be small, ag hice are said tu be only five hundred able bodied male davkeys in that State; but then it will be beaded by Governor Spraguc, as he pro- mised in his bulletin.

Jobu Bull, when he discovers himself out of pocket, instead of becoming rich, by aiding and sympathizing with rebels, will be apt to think better.of it and top shipping goods that not only prove a dead loss, but fall into the hands of Uncle Sam—an old gentleman for whom he entertains no very good feeling.

Le SS ee a ae ay Queon’s speech at the closing of Parliament is also conclusive, so far as words go, of the determination ‘of Eugland to abstein from in- terference with us of any kind. When the rebellion broke out the European governments believed—and the wish was pa- rent lo the conviction—that our republican in- stitutions had proved a failure. The fact that we had no standing army and but an insignifi- cant navy confirmed this belief. That they did not at the outset lend a forcible hand to our downfall was owing merely to the per- suasion that if was unnecessary. As soon as they found, however, that we were serious in our purpose of putting down the rebellion they began to agitate the question of a forcible intervention. Nothing but their fear of each other and the difficulty of arriving at harmo- nious action in our regard prevented them from earryivy ii into eftect. Now that they have soen {'e case with which we can raise a million, or © -u two millions, of the best fighting troops in ite world, and the rapidity with which we have built up 2 formidable navy, they have be- come thoroughly alarmed, and admit to them- selves that republican ivstitutious ave, instead of a fuilwe, a success of the most complete aud slartling kind. We shall hear ao more talk of intervention now, for the yery good rea- son, as the Loudon Jimes tremblingly observes, that any more threats of this sort wifl only have the efivet of putting an additional three hundred thousaud Northern men in the field. But there is another reason still more potent for this change of tone, and that is, tiut omr success here is already setting in motion the revolu- tionary element abroad. ‘Te small cloud that presages the storm has awakened European anxieties in the pronunciamento of Garibaldi. ‘Ube democracy of Europe have, in fact, only been waiting to see how we would maintain ourselves to again set the earth in motion under the feet oftheir oppressors. y now have as firm a faith in our ti hh as we have ew~ selves, and they will projit by the renewed th which our success will afford them (u that the or © Greeley ad fulla of gener eoguition of the mental, moral tical equali y of th nore diaisivons, howe oiber isms which poor (Cree erly advocated.

THE ABOLITION SCHEME OF ARMING THE NEGRORS, Tho speeches of the radicx! republican mombers of Congress, during the first session, are thickly studded over with deslarations in favor of arming the blacks of the South, and of employing them as a permanent mili- tary force to overcome and overawoe the rebo! white popu- lation. In the estimation of the agitators the vrutal idea was practical, avd General Hunter was the subject of measured encomium for having elected an organization of a nogeo regiment, This programme became a party scheme of the radical faction, and it was supposed that «ii the North would say amen to Thaddeus Stevens’ cele- brated declaration, that he would arm the slaves and pa thom in the advance to save the lives of the whit soldiers. Un tho cccasion upon which Mr. Stevens made hia speech, Mr, Diven and auoiher member es- suyod to endorse him by showing that Washington an@ Juckson gave liberty to w few negroes, for good on Wheir part at sowe peculiarly critical period of the ‘‘times that tried men's souls,” or when “beauty and booly”’ wore the watchword of a brutal English army: In vain did conservative Congressmen represent that the Southern pegro could not be brought to @ state of discipline, nor could his nature be tamed to carrying om war, excopt im @ mannor exceeding Indian ferecity.
