THE SITUATION, The last news irom the tront of General McClel- lan’s army is that all is quiet there. No material change has taken place in either army. The “wounded who arrived at Frederick were being sent North as rapidly as possible. The movements of General Buell in Kentucky are very graphically described in our correspond- ence to-day. Buell saved Louisville, and with it Kentucky, and has undoubtedly averted a hostile attack upon Ohio and Indiana. By his cautious policy and his splendid attack on the rear guard of the rebel General Bragg, he completely outmancu- vred the rebels and defeated their projects. Our correspondence describes the junction of Buell’s army with that of General Nelson at that city. The advance consisted of General Critten- den’s division. It was followed by those of Mc- Cook, Smith (formerly Ammen’s) and Wood. The poriiion of General Morgan, at Cumberland Gap, would appear from all the facts which reach us from the West to be pretty secure. It is true that some Western journals assert that he has abandoned that place, and that the papers of Richmond state that the rebel General Stephenson was in pursuit of him; but reports from his own headquarters mention that he is determined to hold the place, that his men are in good spirits, and supplied with provisions for seventy days. The latest news from Missouri is that Gencrals Hindman and Rains, with a large force of rebels, had arrived at Granby mines, near the State line, and that General Schofield was advancing to meet them with a highly organized army.

It seems that the radical Governors have be- come alarined at their work at the Altoona con- ference. They have discovered that their con- spiracy against our generals is recoiling upon their own heads, and are endeavoring to clear their skirts and stay the storm they have raised about themselves, by denying our report, and asserting that the removal of McClellan was not broached in the conference. The organs of the adicals in this,city—the Tribune and Times— have also come out in their defence, and are do- ing their best to prove that the gubernatorial conspirators did not refer to our generals. Un- fortunately for them, our report was made on too good authority for their denial to have any effect, The main topic of conversation among the New England and a portion of the Western Gov- ernors in the morning, before the conference as- sembled, was in reference to our generals. It was the current remark of outsiders who eon- versed with the radical Governors that these officials are decidedly “down” on many of our generals, and are of the opinion that a radical change must be made. But, with this evidence of the views of the extremists, our correspon- dent did not believe that they would have the audacity to broach the subject in the conven- tion; but the evidence was so conclusive, and upon so reliable authority, that even the most skeptical could not doubt its truth. The state- ments made and the substance of the debate given by our representative were upon the authority of three persons who took part in the deliberations of the convention. All of the three held official positions in their re- spective States, and one of the number isa Governor. No person who has the least ac- quaintance with these officials would for a mo- ment doubt any statement that they might make. That the radical Governors are endeavering to wriggle themselves out of the real position taken at the convention only shows the desperate condition that our expose of their conspiracy has placed them in before the country. No person could have watched the movements of the New England and a portion of the Western Governors at Altoona without becoming con- vinced that they assembled there for the sole purpose of endeavoring to force the President to make a change in our generals. Furthermore, there is not the least doubt but that if the conference had been held prior to the battle of Antietam a pro- position urging the President to remove Mc- Clellan would have received the endorsement of a majority of those present. But the skill exhibited by McClellan in that battle, and the decided victory won on- that battle field, were more than they could overcome, notwithstanding the efforts of Gov- ernor Sprague to disparage our generals and soldiers by endeavoring to prove that it wasa rebel and not a Union victory. That the con- vention was called by Governors Curtin, Tod and Pierpoint for a good object, and for no other purpose than to devise means whereby they could all act in concert in strengthening the hands of the President, for the purpose of bringing the rebellion to a speedy end, no one can doubt. The position taken by these three officials in the conference is a sufficient guarantee that none but the purest patriotic motives prompted them to invite the Governors to consult together at Altoona. But that a ma- jority of the radical Governors consented to take part in its deliberations for a far different object is too self-evident to need any argument Teman la- his ar- would arrival of the James 5 Brown, Sr. ere -$1,674 47 | to sustain the assertion. pean news to the 19th inst.—five days later. = con, poe doaee§ = = lanontep # ue The Tuscarora was at Cadiz.

The London Paris Times correspondent says Na- poleon will undoubtedly favor the recognition of the Southern confederacy, and is anxious that the English government should adopt a similar course. It was reported at the sailing of the Anglo-Saxon that the Southern rebels were having a large num- ber of war steamers built in England; that they were purchasing steam vessels already finished, and that a steam ram was being constructed in the river Mersey for their service. The question of the recognition of the rebel States was still canvassed; but at the latest dates the idea had not gained much ground.

Thus foiled and defeated, with a decided manifestation of indignation by the public, it is not strange that they should pursue the course characteristic of the radical Jacobin faction ever since the war commenced, and attempt to get themselves out of their dilemms. But, as it was with Senator Wilson on stopping enlistments, the record is against them, and the proof is too strong to enable them to accom- ‘plish this last much coveted object. They stand before the public indicted, and all their assertions will not remove the dark and treasonable mark upon them. They stand be- fore the world convicted. Wil- GexeraL Foors a8 4 PEACEMAKER IN THE Reset Conaress.—The inextinguishable Gene- ral H. S. Foote, now a member from Tennessee of the House of Representatives of the rebel Congress at Richmond, offered the other day in that body a proposition for a peace commission to Washington, which, together with his war- like speech on the subject, we give efsewheré in this paper. General Foote has very little hope that, if resolved upon, this peace commission would be listened to in Washington; but “if a just and honorable peace be madly refused,” then, says the General, with an air of triumph, “upon the heads of our heartless adversaries will be accu- mulated all the responsibility.” He contends, too, that the victorious rebel armies will fight with renewed energy with the refusal of our government to entertain overtures of peace, and that if there be any good men left in the North they “will then make their presence known, or~ ganize and embody their energies against an in- solent and barbarous government, drive Lincoln and his myrmidoms from power, and elevate to the seats of official authority wise and upright statesmen,” through whom peace will be se- eured. Finally, General Foote contends that after their late victories the rebel chiefs are in @ position to offer peace, and should do so ina spirit of magnanimity, and that the civilized world will expect this proceeding at their hands. Such is the pith of General Foote’s argu- ment for his proposed peace commission. Making liberal allowances for his peculiar situation, we are disposed to accept his speech somewhat charitably; for, notwithstanding his violent de- nunciations, we think that General Foote means peace. He says nothing about the recognition of a Southern confederacy—his object is peace. Isit not probable, therefore, that this movement of Gen. Foote is intended ag the en- tering wedge to peace upon the basis of a restoration of our rebellious States to the Union? Is itnot to demand up to 54 40, and settle on 49? He must know that all these late rebel victories amount to nothing, except the exhaustion of the rebellion in ite last desperate struggles against the still increasing military forges and power of the Union. It will be re in i x 200 i 300 but we bushels will not Govern. ne ee ee ee to redress their grievances. A short shrift and @ ready cord can do duty here, as it bas in other times elsewhere, and the wails of the widows and orphans of good and true men whe have offered up their livea to sustain a government which these wretches are daily plundering will steady the nerves and give strength to the arms of the impromptu ministers of public justice. struggie of 1850 General Foote, in the United States Senate, though at first stoutly opposed to the peace propositions of Henry Clay, soon came round and pruyed himself one of Mr. Clay’s most earuest aed active supporters for the Union to tue end of the contest. It will also be remey bere that from that day down to 1860, including that campaign, General Foote was one of the most aetive and unqaali- fied enemies in the South of the secession fac- tion. Hence we are inclined te the opinion that in hs peace proposition he means peace in the Union, as pre‘erable to the continuance of this useless wur for a Southern confederacy, and we dare say that it will not be long before a peace of this sort will be more distinctly foreshadowed in the rebel Congress at Richmond. Public Plunderers—The Chiriqui Colomi. zation Scheme. Whilst we do the President the justice to believe that he is a thoroughly honest man, yet it cannot be denied that, either from his kind- ness of heart or the ingenuity of the rascals who infest Washington, the rebellion so far has afforded abundent opportunities to rob the public, and squander money broadcast amongst a host of vagabonds, who do not scruple to prey on their country even in ite hour of deopest distress. The reports of the investi- gating committees of the last session expose but a small portion of this infamous system. Shoddy contracts, steamboat swindles, musket purchases, such as Fremont and his agents made in Europe, and through which fabulous profits were acquired—all these form an appalling list; but they are far from completing the catalogue. The negro— the inevitable Sambo—must. of course be dragged in to fill the purses of the cormo- rants, and thus we find, in its latest phase— the colonization scheme—that the President is used by the leeches on the Treasury to further their ends. In the remarkable address made by Mr. Lincoln to the negro delegation at the White House a few weeks ago, he told them some plain truths as to the absolute impossibility of the white man and the black race living im the United States upon terms of equality, and he urged the necessity of the black population seeking—by emigration to some other region—a home where their color would not militate against them, and where, if they really possessed those attributes which their theoretical admirers claim, they would have ample opportuhity to develop them. So far as the impossibility of the two races living here on terms of equality is concerned, it is so self-evident a proposition as to require no argu- ment in its support. The pity is that its truth was not so generally recognized long ago as to have prevented the demagogues in the South from taking advantage of the abolition legisia- tion of some of the Northern States to precipitate the rebellion which is now convulsing the coun- try. Once the inferiority of the negro becomes an established and acknowledged fact, the phi- lanthropy of destroying the patriarchal rela- tion which exists in the South between the white and black races—to send the negro adrift as a pariah, to starve or be exiled—is stripped of that religious gloss which alone rendered it excusable, and the agitators stand forth in all their hideous deformity as dishonest miscreants, who, like Wendell Phillips, Garri- son, Greeley, Cheever and others of similar kidney, really seek to break up the nation, in the hope that amidst the debris they may ocgupy @ position and a prominence which, with all their egotism and personal vanity, they could not dream of obtaining if the government re- mains intact. The President, in his address to the negro delegation, suggested Chiriqui as « desirable location for the colonization of such of their number as could be induced to emigrate, and promised them, in accordance with the act of Congress, to assist such emigrants, not only by furnishing them with transportation, but aleo by a moderate sum to enable them to com- mence life for themselves. If there is anything in the project Liberia is the proper des- tination for any negro emigration from this country. The system of encouraging the colonization of negroes has been tried n Canada, and the result has been that, although the negroes are liberally endowed with land and provisions, yet those colonists are worse off and more degraded at the present moment than any others of the black race in Canada. In Central America the President thinks they do better, ‘as the prejudice against color does not prevail there.” The idea, then, must be that, as there is no prejudice against color, they can intermix with the In- dian and half caste people already there, and in due time they will be as mixed a community as their neighbors. Like most purely philan- thropic ideas, an investigation but reduces it to an absurdity. But the parties who suggest- ed it to the President are much more practical im theiy id For so: ears @ systematic duce Congress to establish a coal depot at this identical location of Chiriqui. Notwith- standing the most strenuous lobbying and the most liberal investment of “stock” and “scrip”—for, alas, the interested parties had but little cash, or they might have succeeded better—the echeme fell through. Congress de- clined to pass the bill, and it slumbers till a more suspicious opportunity. These specula- tors claim that, under certain grante from the department in which Chiriqui is situated, one of their number owns all the land thereabout. His right is not acknowledged by the State; but it is likely that, with a good emigration scheme and handsome sum from the United States government, he could settle the small difficulty as to title. Chiriqui stock, unable to acquire a value ag @ naval coal depot, seeks, therefore, a new outlet, afd thus this negro colonization project looms up in that direction. The ition to the naval depot scheme was twofold. First, that the applicants really possessed no title; and, secondly, that the coal of Chiriqui was tertiary and unfit for marine purposes. As for the climate of the place, it {s about the worst on the coast, aud in this respect perhaps pro- sents some advantages; for not one emigrant in fifty would live to tell his experience at the end of a couple of years. Meantime, how- ever, the Chiriqui adventurers, with Sena- tor Pomeroy at their head or tail, would be able to vie with the shoddy centrac- tors and the Morgan steamboat patriots, and either air thetr riches in Central Park or Paris, ‘as their inclinations prompt them. Let them make hay while the sun shines, for their time is short. The people of the United States have stood 9 good deal; but the day will come when public opinion will be aroused. When that day arrives there will be no anne to Congress The Foreign Intervention Scheme—Tho Game Up. The motion made the other day in the rebel Congzess for the recall of Messrs. Mason and Slidell, Jeads us to be infer that Jeff. Davis and his colleagues have lost all hope as to the recognition of the South by England and France. This being the case, it becomes cu- rious to trace the influences by which a step which several times seemed so near accom- plisbment has been finally defeated. These are so fully set forth in the letters from our Paris, Berlin and St. Petersbarg correspon- denta, particularly from Paris, which we pab- lish im another part of to-day’s paper, that our readers will find no difficulty in arriving at a clear comprehension of them. We gather therefrom that whereas, at the commencement of the American rebellion Eng- land was eager to recognize the South, Napo- leon hesitated to join her in a course of action he deemed premature; and that he turned a deaf ear to all Palmeriston’s energetic represen- tations as to the feasibility of immediate action in favor of the South. The complications of the Mexican question, however, ohanged Napoleon’s ideas upon the subject; and, as he foresaw that at some future time he might come in contact with the United States government in Mexico, he signified to the St. James Cabinet the change of opinion he had undergone upon the subject of the recognition of the seceded States. He found, however, that, whereas his mind was changed, Lord Palmerston had in like manner altered his opinion. England no longer cared to recognize the South, and her ministers ex- pressed a determination to keep aloof from all intervention. The roles were changed, and France now became urgent for a joint action in favor of the South. England has remained deaf to the representations upon that subject, not only of M. de Thouvenel, M. de Lavalette, M. de Persigny, but also to the reiterated demands of the Emperor himself. Our correspondent gives some interesting de- tails as to the movements of Slidell. It will be observed that he contradicts the late rumors as to that worthy’s audience with Napoleon and the reported acquiescence of the Emperor in Slidell’s arguments. From St. Petersburg we are in receipt of an “important communication as regards the late rumor of Russian mediation at the instigation of France and England. Our correspondent states that M.de Thouvenel, at the request of Earl Russell, made overtures to Russia to in- duce her to act in favor of peace; but, as her measures were to be with a view to the separa- tion of the contending parties, Russia would not act. We believe that our correspondent is mistaken as to any move in the matter having been made by Earl Russell. France has alone endeavored to procure the assistance of Russia by proffers of service or aid in the settlement of the “question d’Orient.” Our Berlin correspondent seems to think that the Italian question would force Prussia to side with the South. We think there is unmis- takable error in this view of the case. The Italian question, if it had assumed larger pro- portions by the success of Garibaldi, would have compelled Europe—as it did, in fact—to drop the American question entirely. But the Italian danger is not wholly over yet, and we may be sure for the present that in dealing with the American rebellion, “as goes England, so goes Prussia.” The line of the Rhine is the chronic fear of Prussia, and that is sufficient for us. All further speculations in the matter seem now atan end, from the acknowledgment con- veyed in the motion for the recall of the South- ern envoys that their mission isa failure. To use a sporting phrase, intervention is a “dead cock in the pit,” and the rebel leaders will have to beat about for some other means of bolster- ing up the courage of their dupes. Tas Boston Linerator on Present Lin- couy’s Emancipation Proc.amation.—Lloyd Garrison, the head and front of the radical fac- tion of Massachusetts, does not find the Presi- dent’s emancipation proclamation by any mefins a subject for unqualified abolition re- joicings. On the contrary, after approving that branch of the manifesto which enforces the execution of the Confiscation act, Garrison, through his Boston Liberator, says:— The objectionable featares of ihe proclamation are ite avowed readiness to return to bloody stripes, and horri- bie torture, and lifelong servitude (if he be not killed out- right), any hunted Vondman on the mere oath of the vil- lain claiming him that he is loyal to the government— ite soomingly contradictory talk (for the first portion of it isa Weristic jumble of words) about emancipating the slaved in all existing rebol States, on the 1st of Janu- ary, 1863 (a time suificient to onable Jeff.

THE CLUPPEWA WARRIORS OF FRR TO FIGHT THE S&OUX, The first and most tangible one was visible in our streets yesterday, in the presence there of forty-two warriors who had come down to tender tneir services to the Governor to go and fight the Sivux. I was in the Gover- nor’s room at the Capitol about eleven o’ciock, when @ xeutleman came in and aunounoed that he had conducted @ party of ‘br ves" to the outskirts of the city, and de- sired to know what was to be done with them, The an- houncement was made and replied to something as fol- lows:— Gentleman of the Indian Country—Governor, I have just outside of the town about forty odd of your ebildren, regular “braves,” good fighters, all painted, and hun- grier than damnation, What shall I do with ’emt Governor Ramsey (im his usual bland and wion g style)—Toto ’em in and feed ’em, and tell ’om tiair white father, with the great white war chief (Genora: Pope), will come and counsel with ’em after they’ve hau ihatr grub. A WAR SONG. About an hour after this interview, as Mas standing on the baloony of the hotel, I heard a racket up the atreet, which at firat sounded like a concert, in which locome tives, wild hyenas, jackasses, two-horse Wugons and seve- ral other noise-making creations had promiscususly joined. A nigger camp mooeting,a Hoboxen wake and several republican conventions might be stiuwmered dowm into ene grand and indescrib:ble medley, and would form the nearest approach t this new fangled nondescript ss the musical world; but uointog can give you a just com ception of a real war song but to hear it sung. It did not need the assurances of a half hundred juveniles, with ex- tremely earthy faces and unpatched trowsers, who rushed by, shouting at the top of their might, to convince one that “RHE INJING 'ER A COMIN’.’” Down the cavalcade came, bringing up at = dead halt in front of General Pope’s headquarters. I would like to portray the party as it appeared before the great wat chief; but I fear my own inability todo the subject jus tice. Sulfice it to say that one single glance at the ocor- tege was enough to change all my preconceived ideas of Indian manliness, symmetry, nobility and beaa- ty—ideas created by reading Goodrich’s History, “Hiawatha” and Mrs, Swisshelm’s “Vindication ef the Red Man’’—into a feeling which may be described as a cross betwoen intense disgust and a dosire to see them dismount from their vehicles and proceed at onee to thoir natural amusement of chawing each other to Pieces. DID TOU EVER SEE AN INDIAN?! 1 do net mean to ask you if you ever saw those Jersey specimens of aboriginality who sell bead moccasins and get drunk on the proceeds in New York, or these Yankeo- fied curiosity venders at Niagara, or a Tonawanda basket maker, but a regular built, fully dressed, highly deco. rated, gorgeously painted ana naturally perfumed “was brave,” got up after tho most approved style. Bot, them you havé not seen all that ts worth seeing by @ yong shot; and as you are a long way from where suck curiosities abound, and may never have an opportunity te finish your education in this particular, I will give yee a receipt for getting up a counterfeit that will answer very well for a model, say for ‘“Big Dog,’ the chief. WuAT A WILD INDIAN 18 LIKE. Take a North Carolina tar gatherer , reduce him to fight- ing weight by starvation, bore his cars and insert a couple of ox bows, dip him in a cauldron of Frank miller’s leather preservative and waterproef oil blacking, comb his hair back, braid it with corn stalks and tie it witha tow string, throw a handful of lime in one eye and one of brick dust in the other, cut off a cat’s tail ‘and draw the bloody end several times across his countenance, give him a blanket and the rim of Greeley’s old white hat for @ necklace, and a rifle and pipe of tobacco, and you have it. In the tout ensemble you must not forgot to procure a dottle of whiskey, being particular to get the regular forty cent navy regulation, eighty rod, kill around the corner article, ag without it ne redskin can ever beam Indian. ‘WAY THE “BRAVES”?

PREPARATIONS FOR WAR IN THIS VICINITY, One hear8 about ag Jittie of the Indian troubles here og he does in New York; fo? the fact is, 8t. Paul has becom® 20 dectiedly metropolitan in style that people seem ashamed to speak of an Indian massacre as a matter focal fact. Nevortheloss, we have the best of evid daily in oar midst that there is a mighty big speck og war looming up hereaway, in the vast preparations going on to do something, and I epine that, though at prosent there is a full, it is only the calm which usually precedes tne ee a ORNERAL INDIAN WAR CANNOT BE AVERTED.
