Suoh are the main points of the editorials of our English “‘ neutral’’ friends, The London Times is forced to acknowledge, however, that England could not “intervene” in the case of & people who can raise such armies, and the writer praisus the patience, loyalty and devotion to the cause of the citizens of the United States. MISCELLANEOUS The steamship Eaiisen Carautuee: which left Southumpton on the 20th of August, arrived at this port yesterday evening. Her news has been anti- cipated by the report of the North Amerioan, off Cape Race, given in the Heratp yesterday morning. Our files of European journals are dated to the 20th ultimo, and are consequently three days later than the papers received by the Persia. The steamship City of Washington, from Liver, pool on the 20th, and Queenstown on the 21st ult., arrived at this port at half-past one o'clock this morning. Her advices are ono day later tian those previously received. The Board of Aldermen met yesterday, pursuant to spe ‘all. Resolutions relating to the death of Genera!

Important News from the West=The Des- pernte Strategy oO the The uews which we publish this morning from Cincinnati is highly important, not mereiy in # military sense, but for its political «) aa Face. General Lewis Wallace, as Union General commanding at Cincinnati, Ohro, gee declared martial law in that city and in the two adjoining cities at the Kentucky side of the river— Newport and Covington—on the ground that “an active, daring and powerful enemy threatens ¢he citizens with every consequence of war.” The General had directed that all business must be suxpended st nine o'clock A.M. yesterday, and the citizens must assemble to receive orders to detend the city by working at fortifications and other labor, while the troops do the fighti The ferryboais were ordered to cease plying aiter four o'clock this morning until further orders. Ali this is ex- plained by reference to the news which we published yesterday, to the effect that the rebel force which had driven the federal force out of Richmond, Kentucky, bad ‘marched upon Lexington, whither tie Unionists hed re treated, “but which they also evacuated on the approach of the enemy, and again fell back upon Covington, which, as we have seen, is on the border between Kentucky and the State of Ohio, and opposite to’ Cincinnati, in the latter State. At Lexington the rebels threaten not only Cincinnati, but Louisville. at the same time, being nearly at equal dis- tance from both points. The public archives were removed from Frank/ort, the capital o/ the State, and also the ireasure from the bank’ at Richmond, Lexington and Franktort. The Governor ef Kentucky Bes ordered into tle field ail the able bodied men in the county of Jefferson and city of Louisvilie. The greates: excitement prevailed. We need not inform our readers that Louisville is the most importany city of Kentucky, and being, like Cincinnati, on the Ohio river, it may be defended by our gunbvats, should our land forces not be suili- ciently strong for the purpose. The object of the rebels may possibly be to create a diversion in the West in order to detain as many Union troops as possible there, and preveut their reinforcement of our army in Virginia. But no doubt if they can tiey in- tend to capture Cinciunati, or Louisville, or botl, though it would not be possibie tor them to resain possession of those cities while there is a Union gunboat in the Ohio. In the absencc of our gunboats they might capture Louisviile, as it is on the same side of the river with them selves. How long they could hold it is another question. As to Cincinuati, they could not capture it without crossing the Ohio, and that, we think, is more than they will venture to undertake. But by defeating our troops a Covington they might destroy Cincinuati. The land oa the Covington side is higher than that on which Cincinnati is built, the site of “the Queen City of the West” being very low, aud only slightly elevated above the level of the river. The possession of Covingtou by: the rebels would therefore be tantamount to tiv destruction or capitulation of Cincinnati; tor it consists largely of wooden buildings, and ia a very short time could be destroyed by shells This would be the first important step towards invasions of the Northwest. In confirmation o/ the ides of an invasion of the free States of the West, it will be seen, by reference to the Granada Appeal of eleven days ago, that the rebel armies were then on the march to the Ohio river. In this connection it may be ob- served that the telegraph announces that Paris had been evacuated by our troops, whe had fallen back on Cyathiana, and that they were, by Must acocuats, preparing to evacuate Cyu- thians also, Morgau’y raids, perbaps, have beon aii eirected towards the uldimate capture of Lovissi le and Cincinnau. Bat there must be a large force of Union troeys concentrated at wisles by th © im ibe & thee cond Payunce against Yort Doneleon, and the no louget a question almitting of a doubt. It fs Trne that they fkitad in their ealentations on the peninsula, and they will ted now in their ea'calations to take or burn Washington, to capture Boltimove avd to oceapy Maryland, and capture or destroy Cincinnati and Louis- ville. But the plavs show the desperation of the rebels. They seem determined to stake all on a cast of the die. There is thus every neces- sity for exertion vu the part of the loyal States to prevent the possibility of such a result, and to come to the rescue of the Union before it is too late, Only a determined effort is uecessary to deieat the last convulsive effort of the rebels, who ere now driven to the wall, The War Virginia—Desperate Situs. Hon QE the Hebel Army. Cur tatest intelligence direct rom the army of General Pope is that he has advanced two miles (rom Ceutrevilie towards the tate battle ground, without auy corresponding movencat of the enemy. He is ready for them; but they are evidently beginning to realize their des- perate situation. Their failure to follow up on on Sunday morn- ing their phriial success of Saturday was a CSpfeasion that their grand enterprise had fail- ed. Every day which has followed ‘has been equal to the addition of twenty-five thousand men to General Pope’s army, while it is alto- getlier probable that Lee’s daily reinforcements have been less than twenty-tive hundred; for between Manassas and fichmond, in- cluding that city, he had only a few thousand reserves at his command, We dure say that General Pope fully comprehends his advan tage in this respect, and that he is not disposed to jose his opportunity for a decisive reckon- ing. The two armies will not remain very long copfronting each other. As a buse of operations, Manassas hus ceased to be tenable toarebel army. Last year it was in the midst of an extensive region, abounding in wheat, corn, rye, oats, beef, pork und muttun, equal to the wants of a considerable army for a tweive- month; but now all that vast region is exhaust- ed, and for military purposes Manassas Junc- tion is in the midst of a desert. General Lee, with bis great army, even if undisturbed, can- not remain there, He must advance or fall buck. His direct advance bas been arrested. He must, therefore, endeavor to push across the Upper Potomac for a raid among the grana- ries of Maryland, or move back into the She- nandoab valley, or turn his face azain towards Richmond, or run the hazards of a demoraiized army from starvation, or a crushing defeat. The encouragin; information received at the War Department irom General Pope and General Banks, “which cannot now be made public,” we uecept as signifying that the departure of {ieneral Lee from Manassas will, perhaps, be precipitated. It has been reported that the vebels have some thousands of negrocs eugaged. ja the ceonstruciion of fortifications at all the passes of the Rappahannock, aud that that river is to be their next line of defence. We dare however, that if decisively routed from ‘usir present position, as we expect they wiil be, the remnants of the rebel army from Ma- oassas, os in their first retreat, will push ou as fast as possibie to Richmond. Meantime the guaboats from Commodore Wilkes’ squadron, which have been ordered up the Potomac, will doubtless atiend to any expe- clments that may be made by ‘he rebels on the lower river to cross over into Maryland, or to uterrapt the passage of our transports. Let this suffice to quiet the nerves of such timid soula as may imagine that these guubvats ure intended to sheil the rebels out of Wasiington, should they get in by the ba * The gun- boate”tould shell tholg out very effectively ; but in the rear, as inthe front, Washington is seciued by a live of formidable fortifications. Ketter than ull, however, General Popo’s army would now be equal tu all emergencies, with- out a solitary fort in the {runt or rear of Wash- ington.
