Heavy firing was heard yesterday in the vicinity of Poolesville, which indicated that a skirmish was going on in that direction. A paroled pri- soner stated that a very large force of rebel troops have crossed the Potomac into Maryland. hey passed over two o'clock last Saturday morning by four different ways, namely—Edwards’, Conrad's, and Nolan's ferries, al! fordable. y pushed on from those points to Poolesvilie, Darnestown and Frederick. In many quarters great alarm is expressed among timid pe because the rebela have oome out from their lines and inveded Maryland, whereas this is precisely what we have always wanted them to do. Heretofore they have been retreating from point to point. We met them at Yorktown and Williamsburg, and they retired: We confronted them on the Mississippi, the Cum- berland and the Tennessee, and they abandoned post after post. We assailed New Orleans, and they evacuated that city. Now, at length we have induced them to make an adyance beyond their origins! lines, and we shall see the result, very probably, ina few days from this. A large force of General McClellan's army, d, is now in motion; their destination, of course, it would not, be proper nor perhaps necessary to state. ‘The rebels were reported yesterday to have cn- tered the Staic under his own comman¢ of Pennsylvania, near Hanover, and General Andrew Porter had offered his ser- vices to Governor Curtin to protect the State at that point. 1 intention of the enemy was said to be to cut off the Western Central Penasylvania Railroad, aud then to move on Baltimore and Washington. The rapid action of our forces, how- ever, may spvil their plans, Later accounts place the rebel cavalry scouts at Gettysburg, Pa., and rumor says that they are advancing under the Stars and Stripes, proclaiming that they are fight- ing to restore the Union as it was, &c. The utmost vigilance is exerci and prompt arrangements are being manifested at Baltimore to repo! any attack of the rebels upon that city. From Fortress Monroe it is reported yesterday that the Merrimac No. 2 has been seen below Fort Darling, making towards Newport's News. Ra- Mors wore prevalent that she had reached the vi- cinity of Newport's News, and had an encounter With two of our gunboats, driving them before her- All the chipping, however, had been remove’ to a place of safety, and every arrangement had been made to the rebel ram a quietas when she #pproached the fortress. The preparations at Cincinnati for the defence of that city go on bravely. Twenty-five thousand fresh troops arrived there on Friday and Saturday. The reports as to the location of the rebels were quite conflicting. It was stated that they were at Falmouth, within fifteen miles of Coving- ton, two days ago, and now itis said that only a scouting purty of them had appeared at Critten- den, twenty-five miles from Covington. On the other hand it was rumored last night that the rebels bad marched from Falmouth on Maysville, @nd that the latter town had surrendered. What- evor may be tlic truth of these various rumors, it is certain that al] fear and anxiety are obating in Cincinneti. Business is again resumed, and every- thing looks cheerful there. We publish in another column a highly inte. resting account of a brilliant battle which occur” red onthe 2d inst. at Plymouth, North Carolina, where a body of fourteen, hundred rebels, under Pol. Garrett, were met and engaged by @ Union jorce of three hundred men, under Orderly Ser- yeant Green, of Hawkins’ Zouaves. The Union roops were the attacking party. After a battle of one hour’s duration the rebel ranks were broken and theyretrented in disorder, leaving their com- Manding officer and forty men as prisoners. The afuir derives great interest from the fact that the Union troops were commanded by “an Orderly Sergeant, who on this occasion displayed consider able ability in conducting the batile, as well as great personal courage. We have some interesting accounts of the condi- tion of things at the South, which we glean from the rebel journals, In the rebel House of Repre+ rentatives on the 30th ult., a highly important de- bate erose on a resolution making inquiry of the Tresideut as to whether the recent cartel for the exchange of prisoners had been violated by the federal authorities. The diecussion on the subject @tirred up the bad blood of the Congressmen and made them quite blatant and clamorous for retali- atory moasures. Mr. Russull, of Virginia, went so far as to recommend that the rolee of international Warfare be ignored The rebel conscript law, founded on federal law, has boon tried and found impracticable at loust its provisions are unequal, its burdens not boing borne by all classes, as it should. itis now Proposed to frame & new law or aniond the old one so that the objectionable featuros will he obviated. The Richmond Whig of tie Ist inst. has ¢ ities of Je amusing editorial on the pecu Davis, whom it styles the.“ impracticable Cyrus.’ The Richmond Dispatch of the 2d insi. pub- lishes 9 brief account of the Inte battles in Vir- ginia. It admits that Generals Pwetl and Trimble were “ badly wounded,” and that Goneral Talie- ferro was wounded slightly. On ‘Thursday @ Jackson's force engaged the Union troops; on Fri eneral Longstreet’s, and on Saturday the combined rebel foree under General Lee. The Dispatch says:— Our loss is reported to have been heavy in valuable officers, though no names are given.”? The same paper reports the capture of Cumber- Jand Gap and the surrender of the Union General Morgan and his force to the rebel General Kirby. Smith. The story is no doubt a rebel canard. The rebel steamer Emma, with seven hundred and forty bales of cotton on board, was burned in Savannah river on the night of the _Slst ult. She was coming down the Savannah river, designing to run the blockade, and thence to Nassau, N. P. She grounded before she had accomplished her design, and was fired by her crew to prevent her falling into Union hands, By the Norwegian and Australasian off Cape Race, we have news from Europe to the 3st of August, three days later. The English journals seem to have received some new light on American affairs. They say very little on the subject of the war, and that little is more in favor of a compromise or settle- ment between the North and the South, than of fighting to the bitter end of the exhaustion, dissolu, tion and ruin of the Union, as heretofore predicted and in some instances recommended. The London Times adheres to ‘ compromise,’’ and says that Mr. Lincoln should imitate the example of England ata@le close of the Revolutionary war. The State of Maryland had instructed the Messrs. Barings to deduct the American income tax of three per cent, as well as the ordinary Eng- lish income tax, from the coupons first due in It is said that the same course has been taken on the ster- eral London on Maryland sterling bonds. ling debentures of the Michigan Central Railroad. Lord Palmerston, in a speech at Melbourne, England, revived a very old subject—the Trent The Premier, however, is very complimentary to the United States, he says that the “honor, principles and dignity” both of England and America were sus- tained, and that in the settlement ‘there was no triumph on either side.” The London 7imes says that Mr. Lincoln will have to struggle soon against a “violent reaction” on the part of the democratic portion of the army, The Union sloop-of-war Tuscarora left Ply- mouth, England, of the 27th of August. It was thought she had steered for Cadiz. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The steamships Norwegian and Australasian, from Londonderry and Queenstown on the 29th and 3ist of August respectively, arrived off Cape Bace on the 6th and 7th instant, on their way to Quebec and New York. Both vessels were board- ed by our news agents, and a full summary of their reports—which are three days later than the advicos by the Asia—telegraphed from St. Johns, Newfoundiand, is published in the Hexaup this morning. When the Norwegian sailed the Liverpool cotton market was excited, and all qualities had advanc- ed consid-rably in price, American rating three pence sterling dearer, and the other descriptions ranging from one and a half to three and a half pence higher. On the 30th of August, before the Australasian sailed, the market was bouyant at a further advance of from one penny to one and a half penny per pound. Breadstufts were dull, Lut more steady, and previsions inactive, in Liverpool on the 30th of August. Consols closed in Loudon on the 30th of August at 935% a 9394 for money. American stocks were quiet and steady. The uews from the continent of Europe is of a very important c! ter so faras it relates to ulterior comp! us Detween France and Eng- land, the King of Italy and the red revolutionists, on what is now known as the Italian war question. Garibaldi continued his march from Calabria with the avowed intention of invading the territory of Naples proper. His appeals to the people by the way stirred up an intense excitement in Genoa and Florence, and collisions took place between the authorities aud the citizens in consequence. These occurrences caused the English journals and the French Emperor to pay the greatest at. tention to the subject. The London Post—the government organ—intimated that the King of Italy at the bottom of a plot with Garibaldi, and the result of a French Cabinet council seem- edto strengthen the belief that Napoleon inclin- ed tothe same opinion. This called Victor Ema- nuelinto action, and his troops were ordered to operate energetically against Garibaldi. They niet his volunteers near Reggio, and a slight but sharp conflict took place. This must have been about the 29th of August, and the battle was renewed next day; for the Paris Moniteur of the 30th ult, announced that efter a “ very sharp fight Garibaldi was compelled to surrender,” and on Italian frigate was ordered to convey him to Spezzia, A despatch from Paris, of the Slt of August, says the ‘capture of Garibaldi is fully coniirmed;"’ while other reports say that he was wounded and completely defeated before being made prisoner. The “Italian question” is far from being ended by the defeat of the “ Libera- tor;'’ for we ‘ind that England is about, if she has not already done so, to protest against Napoleon monopolizing the cause of the new kingdom to himself, She is likely to interfere actively now, and it is said that, the French having sent a fleet to Naples, Great Britain has in her own right despatched war ships to the same place. The Austrian government had taken strong mi, litary precautions against revolutionary outbreaks, The Sub-Treasurer yesterday announced, by ad- vertisement in the morning papers, that the notes of the new stamp currency would be delivered in sums not exceeding five dollars. The announce- ment caused @ rush for the notes, and so great was the number of applicants that in the morning a line extended from the Sub-Treasury to Nassau street. The want of the notes has been serfowsly felt, and everybody was desirous of obtaining some. ‘The demand was so great that the available supply was cxhausted before the time of closing the office. The Board of Aldermen met yosterday—that,is to say, four members met~—and adjourned for want of a quorum, In the Board of Councilmen last evening @ re- solution was adopted directing the Connse! of the Corporation to yropare the necessary papers to transfer all t! giits and peiviloges of the New York and Monbattan Gas Light Compa nies to the city, in consequence of their ex pressed determination to make an extra charge of fifteen cents for every thousand feet of gas consumed by their customers after the Ist jnstant.

The foreign news, received via Cape Race yesterday, caused this market for cotton to become excited. The sales wore active, and embraced about 3,000 bales, on the ‘asis of BSc. a 56c. per lb. for middling uplands, closing at the outside figure, and at 57c. for middling New Or- Jeans. Those are detleved to be the highest Ogures the article has ever attained in this market. It would seem as if the cotton famine had fairly sot in in England and in this country. ‘The stock of Ame ricanco tton in Liverpool was etated in the news at 18,000 bales—less than a week’s consumption in former times, and which promises to wholly disappear by the ist of Gotober next. ‘The stock in this market was taken aboug a weok ago, and amounted to about 10,000 bales. Since then, though some supplies have come to hand, itis believed that they have been more thancounterbalinced by sales made to go out of market; so that af the present time it is probable that the stock {8 under 10,000 bates. Some catimates reduce it to 6,000 bales. Bo this as it may, the production of government goods, it is thought, will be sufficient to cover near about as much cotton as that now held jn Now Yerk, Tho result fearod is that additional mills both in England and in thie country will be ferced to suspend work, not so much from the want of a market for their goods as from the impossibility of supplying them with the raw material at all, The rapid advance of cotton in our market fails to cause a corres- pondingly rapid advance in cotton goods, excapt in those descriptions required for the use of the government, and even they fall to tally fully with the rise in coiton and wool, The advance in textile materials promises to en- hance the cost of tent and sail cloth, as woll as of wear- ing apparel generally. Flour was in fulr request, as the scarcity of well assorted supplies tended to sustain the market, while prices were without material change. Wheat wae 2c. a Sc. per bushel lower, with more doing atthe concession, Corn was 1c. lower, with a fair amount of sales, Pork was easier, with sales of mess at $11 62}¢, and of primeat $10. Sugars were steady, with sales of 260 hhds. Coffee was quiet Freights were decidedly higher, owing in part to come red in the supply fof tonnage, and in part to the mate enhanced wages and scarcity of seamen. To Liverpool, wheat, in bulk and bage, was engaged at 15d. a 16d., and flour at 4s. Wheat to London was taken at 15d. a 163d., and 17d. was asked at the close, and flour wes taken at 48. 6d. The Present Position of the Rebel Army of Virginia—An Opportunity Net to be Lost. The golden opportunity which is now offered for the reparation of all our late military blun- ders and disasters, and for the death blow to this rebellion, we are gratified to believe, will not be permitted to pass away without an effort ta.appropriate its advantages to the fullest ex- tent. We congratulate our readers upon this aseurance, and upon the fact that our army around Washington to-day is large enough to jus- tify the immediate resumption of offensive ope- rations, We suy, at the same time, push for- ward our reinforcemenis; for we want just now adefensive as well as an offensive army at Washington. The objects of the rebel leaders at Richmond in sending forward all their available forces in pursuit of General Pope with General McClel- lan’s evacuation of the Richmond peninsula were, first, to overwhelm and destroy tie army of Pope, and, secondly, to push into Washington before the army of McClellan could be brought up to its rescue from Yorktown. The game to us was extremely perilous: for while McClel- lan, by water, was over two hundred miles from Washington, and could only move his army in detachments, one at a time, on acoount of his limited means of transportation, great as they were, the rebels, when the race com- menced, had only about one hundred miles overland to make, over good roads, and with no more serions obstruction than Pope’s army of 50,000 men in the way against theirs, at least 150,000 strong. But this overwhelming rebel army was so baffied, embarrassed and delayed by General Pope that it came in at Manassas at least a week behind its calculations; while in the meantime the shipment of General McClel- lan’s troops was so well managed that, al- though they were not all on hand in season to secure a crowning victory at Manassas, they were up in time to save the army of Pope and to secure Washingtou. Thus, notwithstanding these recent battles around Manassas have, upon the whole, been against us, the rebels have been signally de- feated in their objects to destroy Popo’s army and to push into Washington in advance of McClellan. The rebel army has gained no- thing except the plunder of some of our camps and commissariat trains, and now finds itself, with the intervening country utterly exhausted, one hundred and fifty miles from Richmond, and with a superior and rapidly increasing Union army on its flank and rear. Jn this con- nection we censider this rebel invasion of Ma- ryland across the Upper Potomac, first, as a desperate dash for provisions and other military supplies, and, secondly, as’ an experiment to blow the embers of rebellion supposed to exist in Maryland into @ raging fire. Richmond is full of Maryland seoossienists, and thoy have induced the rebel government to believe that the crossing of the Potomac by a rebel army would create a rebel uprising throughout the State, and capecially in Baltimore, equal to an army of fifiy thovsand men, and that this uprising would instuntly cut off all our railroad communicetions between Washington and the Nov Disappointed in this expectation, we apprehend that the rebel army column which has invaded }rederick City will be more likeiy to retrace at once its steps across to the Virginia side of the Poto- mac than to attempt to push on to Pounsyl- yania or Baltimore or to the rear of Wash- ington. Here, then, is our goldea opportunity, For is doubtless near Leesburg; but a considerable column bas crossed over into the Shenandoah valley, and another detachment is in Maryland, and still another is distributed along in the neighborhood of Mannssas, Thoroughfare Gap and Warrenton, according to our latest ac- counts. Thus broken up and scattered about on both sides of the Potomac and on both sides of the Blue Ridge, net so much for sirategical purposes as for sub- sistence, we are froe to declare that if our gov- ernment and our army chiefs at Washington permit the fragments of this rebel army to be again consglidated, or to get back again to Richmond, all bands responsible will be called to a fearful reckoning by an outraged and justly indignant people. ‘e have no doubt, however, that the Presi- dent, his Cabinet, General Halleck and General M’Clellan thoroughly comprehend their present advantages, their abundant forces and means | for instant action, the dangers of delay, and the just expectations of the country. When we say, therefore, that the rebel army column in | Maryland should ‘be allowed no. more time to | gather strength orto retreat, that the main ‘back track of the rebels to Richmond should be Closed against them, and that half a dozen gunboats, assisted by a small land force, would now be able to work their way by Fort Darling to the rebel capital, we presume that we are suggesting nothing that is considered at Wash- ington impossible or impracticable. The rebel army of Virginia is now within our grasp. Our intelligent, loyal people be- lieve it. They expect the President, his Cabi- net and his army leaders to seize this inviting opportunity for decisive action. We care not now to discuss the shortcomings of this or that officer in the field, the weak spots in the Cuabi- pet. or anything of the sort. We want this rebel army of Virginia beaten, routed and put out of the way; and we believe thet this is the appointed time for the work. Tbe season for active campaigning in Virginia and Mary- land is nearly at anend. We have no time to lose. The most favorable condition of things+| that could be desired invites us to immediate action. We expect it, and we still entertain the idea that in wisely and energetically using our present advantages we may bring down this rebellion into the dust before the end of the year. The Revolationary Outpourings of the Infernal Republicans. The organs of the radical, abolition, infer- nal republicans unanimously condemn the pre- sent republican administration, and threaten it with a popular revolution if it does not change its members or its policy, or inconti- nently resign, Thus the Tribune orders the President to immediately proclaim universal emancipation, arm all the negroes, and put none but abolition generals in the field, or to give place to some one who will. The Indepen- dent more boldly echoes the Tribune's insinuated threat. The Post declares that the President and his Cabinet are eulpably responsible for every digaster and defeat, and that the country demands a change of policy or of men. The World calls Fort Lafayette a Bastile, and Secre- tary Slanton a tyrant, despot and usurper, and solemnly warns the administvation that its time is short, and that the people of New York are on the eve of revolution. Besides these, sundry small fry republican organs. in city and country, demand that President Lincoln shall resign: and, following all, and condensing all, this abuse, for the purpose of reviving its old scheme of a national dictator, the Times de- fiantly announces that the last year has been “disastrous in the highest degree to the Union cause;” that we are now “in imminent danger” of a rebel invasion; that there are Northern men “of ability, of character, of position, both civil and military, who look to the possibility of saving the Union in, other ways than by simply conquering the rebels; that “President Lincoln's government is not strong in will, in judgment, in resources or in the confidence and respect of the people;” that “wwe live in a day of revolution,” and “our own people will not tolerate a long wa and that it “does* not fear the division of the Union so much as the overthrow of the government.” The National War Com- miitee of this city—which is more properly a Jacobin committee of radicals, and from which the conservative Grinnell has just resigned— strives to give practical effect to these revolu- tionary outpourings, by conspiring with the Governors of some the New England States to raise an “ independent corps” of fifty thousand men, at the bead of whom Fremont or some other abolitionist may dictate to or supersede the President, as may be deemed expedient. The country already knows our opinion of such revolutionary agitations and seditious sehemers. It needs no prophet to foretell how eagerly such language will be greeted by the rebels at Richmond, and by the rebel intriguers and sympathizers in Europe. Every sensible person will at once anticipate the use which Jeff. Davis will make of, and the encouragement bis traitorous horde will receive from, these infernal republican outpourings. No thinking man can be ignorant that the undoubted object and the certain effect of such articles are to in- spirit the rebels, to divide the North, and to add fresh fuel to the already scorching flames of Eu- ropean prejudice, animosity and abus@ It is needless, therefore, to recapitulate the repeat- edly justified charges that the infernal repub- licane are aiding and abetting the rebels, and that they do not desire the restoration of the Union, but only the abolition of slavery. To say this ‘is to say that the sun shinee, that one and one make two, the atseriion is so self-evi- dent, ro axiomatic. The point to which we wish to direct attention is, that these infernal repub- licans are condemning their own administration, their own President, their own Cabinet oflicers— an administration selected to embody republi- can sentiment, a President elected by republi- can votes, Cabinet officers chosen as represen- tative republicans. These condemnations and these threats are a verdict of “ guilty’ rendered by a republican jury ageinst a republican ad- ministration. It is here that the people must make @ note and reflect. It is no democratic journalist or pol an who thus arraigns and convicts the administration upon the terrible indictment of wholesale, murder, criminal mismanagement and oorrupt and profligate expendiiure. The accusers are republicans, the judges are republicans, and the criminals are republicans. We have not forgotten that in a contest like this there should be but one party—the party of the Union. We have never failed to remember that the admin- istration now belongs to the whole uation. We have raised no party ery and laid down no party lines since qhis ead war began. If wo shall coincide in the verdiet of the republican organs it is because they who know the admi- nistration best have made the verdict for us; bevanse they whe put the administration into power now supply us with the severest cen- sures upon its proceedings; because they who have the greatest interest in now suppressing all recollections of parties are the very first to attempt to revive (asin the Tribune’s recent letter to the President) the galmost discarded ideas of party allegiance and Presidential re- sponsibility to party. Surely none can blame us and the people if we accept the republicans at their own base estimate of themselves. We are glad to remember that from the time of the very inception of the abolition-repub!i- can party we warned the country of its perni- cious doctrines, its dangerous fanaticism, its innate weakness, its inured depravity, ita inca- pacity to administer the government, and its ra- dical and revolutionary tendencies. Since the outbreak of this war, however, we havo patri- otically dropped all references to purties, and have patiently labored to put down the rebel- lion. With patience we have seen republican officials rise and fall, republican intrigues formed and defeated, republican policies adopted and discarded, and have carefully re- frained from anything which might delay, while zealously doing everything which might assist, the speedy triumph of the Union cause, Now our patience is rewarded by seeing the republicans themselves foremost in condemn- ing the results of republicanism. We find our- selves defending the President from his own party friends and former supporters. We find the administration attacked by the very men who gave it power. We find our prophecies of republican incapacity and misrule vindicated by the confessions of republican organs. We find those who aided to canse tho war dissatis- fied with tke conduct of their own statesmen. We find those whose fanatical intrigues have oceasioned all our disasters now amazed, dis- comfited, disgusted and alarmed—like Greeley after Manassas and Senator Wilson after the, peninsula battles—at the dreadful consequences of their own folly. The people will do welt to remember these things; and none need be sur- prised if, at the polls in November, an over- whelming vote of democratic and republican conservatives shall send men to Congress who will forever supersede the radicals who now disgrace that body, and who will have sufficient patriotism end ability to prosecute the war economically and victoriously, to suppress the revolutionary and infernal abolitionists, and to speedily end this desperate rebellion, with which the fanatics who incited it now confess themselves incapable to cope. Forrron Secesstonist Ongans tx Our Mipst.— Since the outbreak of the rebellion some of the foreign organs published in this city have pur- sued a course which in any other country would have long since subjected their conductors to punishment. One of them—the Courrier des Etats Uiis—has not.only made it a point of re- producing daily all the one-sided reports un- favorable to the Union cause, but has invavia- bly allowed its secession eytapathies to crop out through its own articles, Its editors ne- toriously receive their inspirations from rebel sources, statements freqnently appearing from their pens that could only have been obtained first hand. It is, moreover, well ascertained that Gaillardet, its correspondent in Paris, is the pensioncd hireling of Jeff. Davis, and does all his dirty work there. Most of the rancor- ous articles which appear against the North in the French press are either founded on the dis- torted view of things given in the Courrier or on the direct promptings of this fellow Gaillardet. In a recent admirable address on the war, de- livered by Bishop Purcell, in Cincinnati, he di- rectly charges the Courrier with the responsi- bility of much of the unfriendly feeling mani- fested by the French press against our govern- ment. This patriotic prelate has only just re- turned from Paris, where he had abundant op- portunities of informing himself as to the cor- rectness of the general impression whieh had previously existed here on the subject. If the government deems it necessary for the safety of the country that our journels shall be sub- jected to suppression or the incarceration of their editors when they offend against the rules that it has Inid down, we respectfully submit that the case of this French secessionist organ is one to which its attention should have been long since directed. Tre Tax on Gas.—The unscrupulous conduct of the New York gas companies in endeavoring to saddle their customers with the tax which was intended to be levied on their own enor- mous profits is,as we predicted, raising a storm of indignation against them among the public and the press. Every one is now asking why such tremendous monopolies shovld be left in the hands of grasping associations like these, or why the community should longer submit to the imposition of a charge of two dollars and fifty cenis the thousand cubic feet for an article which can be manufactured for a third of that price. The companies have themsglves raised these issues by their mercenary conduct, and they will shortly have to meet them before the Legis- lature. A strong determination exists among ges consumers tp bring down the price of this indispensable article to the lowest point at which it can be furnished, and they will spend 4 large amount of money if necessary to effect this object. When the next Legislature aseem- bles steps will be taken to strip the New York companies of their existing charters, and to veat them in the city. It has been ascertained from inquiry that, owing to the improvemente that have taken place of late years in the manufac- ture of gas, the Corporation can, through a board like that which regulates our water sup- ply, furnish the city and private consumers with the article at less thon one-half its present cost. In times like these the saving is worth a struggle. Sian Rea Coxprrion or Trxos Down Sovrn—If there is one thing more than another that ex- poses the groundlessness of the dospondency expressed in some quarters in regard to our chances of putting down the rebellion, it is the statements made by the Southern prisoners who arrived here on Sunday last from Fortress Mon- roe. They prove that the rebels ave in the most desperate straits, and that this raid of theirs into Kentucky and Maryland, and contemplated attack on Washington, are the last despairing efforts of a people convinced that their canse is hopeless. For us this invasion of the loyal States is the best thing that can happon to us. God seems to be at lost about to deliver into our hands the traitors by whove bloody rale the South bas alone beea withheld from a return to its allegiange, enti MoCxzr, 48 anv His Exewres,—When Napo- leon was in. be flush of his victories in Italy it was proposed . by the government at Paris to divide the comm, %nd of the army between him and Kellermann, yhereupon Bonaparte tender- ed his resignation, a tying one bad geueral was better than two good. ones. He was fortunately continued in the supre2e Command. When the Duke of Wellington wits in Spain he was so thwarted by the British Wabinet that he feit it necessary to make a stand, He said he would not proceed another inch titfathere was a change. The result was that the Cabinct was brokeu up, and new ministers appointed, whose views were more in harmony with his own. Afterwards everything went on smoothly, and his triumps on the Spanish peninsula over the arms of France was complete. McClellan has been in the same manner baffled in his military ideas— partly by a divided command, and partly by the opposition of the radicals. He is now again, by the force of events, placed in his original position. But the same opposition to him will be again developed very soon, unless the causes of it are removed. It is in the power of the President to prevent @ repetition of the politi- cal interference which nearly cost us two ar | mies and Washington to boot, to say nothing of the loss in money and human Ilfe. We hope the President will put his foot down firmly, and see that General McClellan be allowed to carry out his plan of the campaign without any im- pudent and dangerous meddling from any quarter whatever. Tue Revorvrionary War Covarrres or Tu Crry.--It is now pretty evident that the re volutionary article in yesterday’s Times, in denunciation of the administration, was insti- gated by the committee calling itself the Na tional War Committee. Members of that com- mittee have been to all the newspaper offices in the city and wed upon them to assail Presi- dent Lincoln and his Cabinet. Such expres- sions as the following in the Times article:-— “There are men North and South—men of ability, of character, of position. both civil and military—who look to the possibility of saving the Union in other ways than by simply con- quering the rebeis;” also, “ We live, it must be remembered, in a day of revolution, when violence and force give the law to national action, and when strong and bold men will throw aside forms and usages, however sacred, which stand in the way of what they may re- gard as the welfare of the nation, und place power in the hands of the strong, however they may be stained with the blackest and most damning guilt;” and, that unless “ our government promptly vindicates its compe- tency to defend its own existence we shall see arosort to measures which will either land us in anarchy or subject us to the absolute despot- ism of the Southern oligarchy of the Southern States”—are the substance of the arguments used by this revolutionary committee that ia endeavoring to raise a special army of fifty thousand men to place under Fremont. Newsparer Necoririons—-We understand that negotiations are in progress to make the World the organ of the conservative democratic party. It is generally supposed that Thurlow Weed has a band in this affair, and will endea- vor to take to it the support of the conservative republicans, and that it all means a usion of the conservatives of all parties in this State on candidates for Governor and Congress. The only barrier in the way of its consummation is the diMculty to raise the means suflicient to bolster up the World. The managers of that concern seek thus to save themselves from sink- ing, their piety long since ceasing to pay. Che- valier Webb's advertisements have run out. Shut off from the Tressury Department, no longer able to feast on army ale, porter and cheese, the bullion of the smail fry brokers be- ing exhausted, and no longer able w support it, they are ready for almost any dodge that will keep their heads above waler. But that concern having lost so much money already, the project is likely to fall through by the inability to raise the needful. Conventions anp THE State Exvecrion.—The nominating conventions of this State commence their work this week. Tho important candi- dates to be elected are Governor, Lieutenant Governor and members of Congress. All others sink into insignificance when compared to those positions. The present indications are that it will be the most singular, and, perlapsr the most important election witnessed by this generation. The radical and infernal repub- licans, through their organs, are denouncing and declaring that the administration of their own selection and choice is a complete failure. Their admission that the republican party has proven inadequate to the emergency, and that their own administration has failed to success fully progecnte the war, may yet be taken by the conservative republicans and democrats as their rallying ory during the coming canvass. On that issue the conservatives of all parties may unite, nominate men of ability, and roll up an overwhelming majority at the ballot box in November against the nominees of the infernal republicans. Events aro coming thick and fast upon us. In camp, in council, on the battle field, in politics and private life, all is commo- tion. Where we are to land the future alone can tell, The radicnl republican organs are now confessing that they and thelr administra tion are responsible. “iis Tax Revorvrioxary Raptcat Press Tareate eyING Tun Presivent.--The radical press are threatening the Prosident with revolution at the North and the overthrow of his govern- ment, because he will not yield to their out rageons demands to violate his oath and tram- ple on the eonstitution. See, for examplo, the New York Times of yesterday. But they have not, the power to make a revolution, and their design is simply to frighten Mr. Lincoln from his position. The President, however, is not the man to be intimidated. They cannot move him from his purpose. Ho is sustained by the conservative element of the country, which ex- ceeds that of the fanatical abolition element by about five to one. The radical press no doubt would be glad to effect a revolution; but their efforts are as impotent as they are malignant. Tow Caance or tax Ties on THE AnMt Orricens.—-Raymond, jn hia revolutionary tirade againet the edministration in yes terday’s Times, asserta “that there are men in the army who do not believe the war will end except by conceding tho indepen. dence of éhe South, unless the government ia again restored to Southern control, or a con- vention is heldto form o constitution under which bot North and South can live together ia a common Union,” This very idea that Rw mond now charges upon the army officers has been secretly but industriously circulating as the views of Secretary Chase and other mame here of the Oabinet.
