MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The steamship Anglo-Saxon passed Cape Race at an early hour on Saturday morning, on her way to Quebec. Her news is dated to the 19th instant. The steamship City of Baltimore, from Qucens- town on the 18th instant, arrived at this port yes- terday (Sunday) morning. Her news his been anticipated by the advices of the Anjls-“axon. The details contained in our European files by the City of Baltimore are, however, of great interest. Consols closed in London, on the lth of Sep- tember, at 29314 for money.

In this brie! pause of the war, and in the ab- sence of further reports of tles, the re- cent proclamation of the President declaring the negro slaves of rebellious States free, in a cer- tain contingency, after the Ist of January next, engrosses the public mind in ull parts of the country. It is the theme of universal discussion, and is viewed in various lights, according to the pointfrom which it is seen. For instance, its general offect in the Middle States, the majority of whose population are conservative, is the conviction that it practically amounts to Hiile or nothing—that it will exert no salutary influ- ence on the rebellion apart from the defeat of the insurgent erimies im the field. deing, in the words of Mr. Lincoln, “tike the Pope’s bull against the comet”.—that it is, therefore, useless fangs of the abolition snake,upon the principle of Solomon, to “answer a fool according to his folly.” What effect it may have in the rebel- lious States is still a matter of speculation. Its effect upon the disloyal fanatical element in New England may be seen by the extract which we reproduce from the chief organ of the fac. tion. Tis effects in the border slave States may also be estimated from the extract which we publish from one of the principal organs of the loyalists of Kentucky. In connection with publish the famous these extaacte we Order No. 11 of and the proclamation of the President countermanding it, from which it will be seen that the course of Mr. Lincoln throughout hae been conserva- tive, and that he has been constantly embar- rassed by rampant radicalism iv hie efforts to restore the Union upon the basis of the con stitution. Indeed, the President, in « speeoh de- livered since the issue of the proclamution, so | pointedly alludes to “ the difficulties” which he has had to encounter at the hands of the abolitionists that he cannot fail to elicit the consideration and sympathy of all Joyal men. Jt is evident that the radicals are not satis. fied with the proclamation, and that they fear, as regarde ihair expectations, it only “ kv the word of promise to the ear while it will break it to the hope.” Hence Garrison, ef the Liberator, declares he is “ not so jubilant over it as many others,” and though, if literally car- tied out, it will “ emancipate three-fourths of the slave population as fast ae they shall have become accessible,” yet he cannot overlook the fact that it preserves the institution intact in the loyal border slave States—Delaware, Mary- land, Western Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri, apd sach rebellious States or parts thereof as shall have returned to their allegiance by the Ist of January next, of which the Pregiont/ himself, and not the radical faction, is to be the judge. This is avery different proclamation from what Fremont, Hunter @nd Phelve igrued. and . od himself an unswerving, unfalter- t., A synopsis of the sermon is given The general government has ordered the imme- diate consolidation of all the incomplete regiments Governor Morgan has informed & committee from Troy that in making the draft he should regard each city as a muuicipality, and not draft by Brigadier General Price, son of Sterling Price, who has been a prisoner for six months, will be The yellow fever is raging in Wilmington, North Carolina. The cases average seven a day, and the ase is very ma- ol prices advanced }{ a1 per cent all round, the most nc- tive shares being those of the Kriv, llinois Central and Spinners were, as usual on Saturday, pretty much out of and Fastern trade. The Anglo Baxon's news tended to cchange and unnecessary, unless, perhaps, to extract the } from what the abolitionists have demanded from the President. Their policy was to pro- claim immediate, unconditional emancipation. The policy of the President is to give the rebel- lious States three months to return to their alle- giance, in which contingency all thew institu- tions are to be preserved according to the letter and spirit of the constitution; for Mr. Lincoln opens his proclamation in these remarkable words :—“I do hereby proclaim and declare, that hereafter, as heretofore, the war will be prosecuted for the object of practically restoring the constitutional relation between the United States and the people thereof, in whatever States that relation is or may be suspended or disturbed.” Negro slavery is therefore to be protected by the flag of the United Siates in every loyal State in which it may be found to exist at the opening of the new year. Mr. Liu- coin disclaims all idea of abolishing any State institution, or to efface State boundary lines, and make the whole country one consolidated rgpub- lic or empire. He will not meddle with slavery in auy loyal State. But as to the insurgent States, or such parts of them as shall be declared by the President to be in rebellion, Mr. Incoln gives a notice of one hundred days that he will not reapect their slave institution anless they lay down their arms before the expiration of the last day of grace, the last of the year 1862, and that all their negroes shall be de- clared free, the loyal owuers alone to be com- pensaied, in accordance with the spirit of the joint resolution passed by Congress in May last. It is plain, therefore, that the proclamation of Mr. Lincoln cannot in any just sense be re- garded as an emancipation or abolition measure. It is wholly conditional, and may never emancipate @ single sieve. Should al ed before the Ist of ‘ily vet to rebellions States be sul January, or should they volunts their allegiance before that date, the institue tion would remain everywhere t agit ex. isted before the war began. It is a military mneasure, and not political, nor does it really give any aid and comfort fo the thorongh paced ft can enly be regarded in the light tary necessity” to damage the enemy; the war whote federal government, would have no more right or power to interfere with the in- stitution of slavery in any State than with the institution of marriage. While this measure is unsatisfactory to the radicals of New England, it is by no means palatuble to the pro-slavery loyalists of the border States. ditional; that of the Unionists of the border States is unconditional—true as the needle to the pole or the dial to the sun. They regard the measure not only as unconstitutional, but also ill-advised, and calculated to do more harm than good to the cause. But that will not induce them to join the rebellion or to abandon their purpose to prosecute the war for the Union till it is completely triumphant. Their idea is to crush out the rebellion first, and to make right all that is unconstitutional after- wards, Whether the effect of the proclamation on the whole will be a balance on the side of evil or of good is 2 question which time alone can determine. The President himself, as appears from his opinions expreseed beforehand to the depuiation from Chicago, as well as from bis speech after the issue of the document, lms, to say the least, grave doubts on the subject, though he hopes for the best. But should the proclamation turn out | unfortigate, and, instead of aiding the progress of the fe@eral arms, prove an embarrassment and a hindrance, the country will hold the radicals responsible, who have extorted it from the Pre- sident by importonities and violent threats. For, after all, it is only as it promotes or retards military snecess that it is of any avail for good or evil. The object of the war is not to “caat out the devil of slavery,” which, ac- cording to General Wadsworth, “has tox- ! mented and disgraced us from the hour of {uur national birth. The proclamation of the President does not, as Governor Biair, of Michigan, contends, proclaim this principle, or any other principle for which the loyal people of the North are more encouraged to fight now thau they were before. The cause and the principle are still the eame--the restoration of the authorily of the federal Union, the constitu- tion and the laws. Tia is the true, the broad, the safe and only national ground on which the war can be prosecuted, and any deviation from it would lead the republic into an endless laby- rinth of avarchy, from which it never could be extricated. A New Mopr-or Devscorive Posie Me: Kvery time one of our public men does anything h shrnastenbles or arrives in town after having | done anything remarkable, te is immediately visited by a serenading party. Besides break, ing his rest and treating him to a dose of music, the serenade gives him an opportumity to tell of his gloriour exploits, explain his proclama- tions and relate the manner and motive of his victories, No doubt some proclamations need explanations very badly, and no doubt gene- ralx can tell of their vietories hester than any impartial historians; but still it strikes us that these serenades are rather played ont. After the President issued his emancipation procla_ mation, which Greeley says will end the war in sixty days, he was compelled to {rise from hie couch somewhere nesr mid- j night and make a speech about it. The members of the Cabinet were also dis- turbed and compelled to make speeches upon that important occasion. General Wadsworth happened to be nominated for Governor of this State, and was serenaded accordingly. Com- modore Porter arrived here from New Orleans, and our gallaot fire boys serevaded him. So the thing goes on. If the peopie catch « live general in the street they are after him witha band of music, and never leave him antil they have succeeded in finding out his sentiments about the war and his opinions of matters and things generally. One or two of our generals consistently refuse to comply with the demands of tho serenadere; but such exceptions only go to prove the rule. The: public men compli- mented by the serenades are not the only per- sons developed upon such o¢casions, however. On the contrary, there are always one, two or three persons who make it understood that they are the individuals who have arranged and managed the impromptu celebration, and who expect fat offices, in return for their labors, when the serenaded persone shall be elected ‘Presidents, or Governors, or members of Con. gress. Everything is done a la militaire in this country now-a-days, and so no wonder that office seekers should go,about preceded by a brass band, ended, the necessity ceases , and the President, or Congress, or the But there is this essential dif- ference: the loyalty of the abolitionists is con- NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1862. ‘The Late News from Europe—The Batties Betore Washington. The City of Baltimore, at this port, and the Anglo-Saxon, off Cape Race, bring some very interesting news from Europe. It is to the 19th instant. Tie latest intelligence which bad reached Europe from New York was to the 6th of September. The news of the defeat of Gene- ral Pope’s army and its retirement to Washing- ton had been received and had produced its effect. Immediately on hearing of the re- verse of the federal arms the rebels and their agents throughout Europe were thrown into a state of great hilariry and delight, and at once renewed their efforts to obtain the re- cognition of their confederacy. The English and French papers are full cf *r- ticles on the subject. But it appears, on can fully readin g over these journals, that, although the news has produced an effect temporarily unfavorable to the federal government in France and Englawd, yet it is plain that those govern- ments have scen that the rebellion has reached its crisis, by the very successes or the rebels, and there is not the slightest disposition manifested to hasten the recognition of the South in consequence of their military movements, The London Times, commenting on the recent battles, says that the rebels must secure their entire northern line and hold it before they can be recognized; and it has come tothe conclusion that, although the Confederates have met with some success, the bravery, courage and endurance of the Ameri- can race were developed in a most startling manner in the series of battles in front of Wash- ingion. They have now reached that point ia England that, instead of speaking of sending over @ dozen iments to Canada, they are now under the impression that it would he ne. ry for france and Engtand to send over one hundred thousand men each to produce any effect upon us. If they will wait a litte longer, until we ficht a few more battles, they will per- laps be induced to swell these numbers to haif a million, and then they could accomplish noth- ing here. _ But there is one important sign presented in allthis news, and that is that the iamense military and naval resources of this country are producing an impression in Europe not dreamt of a year ago; and from the tone of the Quropean press it seems very evident that they intend to let us alone. They have, in truth, fonnd out that we area ‘dangerous people;” and now even the French abolition organs, speaking in anticipation of the President's recent proclamation, say that itis one of the most frightful measures that contd be adopted. Altogether the extracts we give to-day show that the European mind is only now being in- structed in the A BC of American institutions, resources and power. We advise them care- fully to study the news from this country for the next six months, and perhaps they will fiad enough to convince them that we are really “a dangerous people.” Tae Yanxers ww Cuixa.—Receut advices from Europe inform us that several gunboats are now building in England for the Chinese govern- ment, and that several Mnglish naval officers have received permission to cnlist in the Chinese service. ‘This news indicatea a sudden and wonderful advance in civilization on the part of our -antipodean friends, the Celestials. They add another to the many proofs of the modern discovery that the higher the civilization of a country the greater isthe necessity for improved weapons of destruction. The most Christian, the most intelligent, the richest, the greatest and the beat natton on earth is that which has the most and the largest cannon. The Chinese see this at last, and are becoming civilized. Without pressing this point at present, how- ever, we desire to call attention to the struggle for supremacy between the different nationali- ties in China. The Jnglish use the opium trade asakey to keep the Chinese ports unlocked, but do not care to proceed far into the interior of the country. The Russians make great use of their semi-religious embassy at Pekin, and carry on a great and increasing trade across the inland borders of China, having a large depot at Kiachta, from which most of the Chi- nese news reaches us. Tho French have adopt- ed the Russian plan in preference to that of the English, and by far the best work upon China is that of the French Abbe Hiuc. The Americans use all three methods of ingratiating themselves with the Chinese, and have been equally auc- cessful in opening ports, in sending embassies and in making interior explorations. Indeed, as matters stand at present, the Americans have the ascendency in China, and it will be well for the interests of our commerce if this ascendency can be maintained. ‘The leading man upon the government side in China is now an American, named Ward, a native of New York city. This gentleman has been frequently referred to by the Knglish, who sought to diminish his influence by calling him first a filibuster and then «@ secessionist. Mr. Ward deserves neither of these titles, how- ever, as his relatives here have satisfactorily demonstrated. He is simply a foreigner in the employ of the Chinese government, and he has been so successiiul in hiv efforts to pit down the Chinese rebellion that he has lately been made a gtand mandarin, the first time in the history of the world that such an honor has been conferred by the Celestials npon an out. side baybarian. If their government shal] suc- ceed in putting down the rebellion, therefore, the Amesicane will stand iv advance of all other foreigners in the estimation of the Chinese. On the other hand, the Chinese rebels are no less intimately connected with Americans. The rebel king was educated by the Rey. Mr. Roberts, an American missionary, and hae decided proclivities towarda American manners and custome, to say nothing of @ disposition to adopt our religion and to guarantee religious freedoro to all his subjects. In the meantime, while the rebellion is pend- ing, all the rivers of China are being navigated by little steamers built here at New York; and in every direction American influences sre quietly and unobtrasively at work breaking down the barriers of prejudice between us and the Chinese, and preparing the way for 9 cordial alliance between the old nation of the East and the new republic of the West. Gnexiey’s Nive Huxpngp Taovsayn Mex. There does not appear to be any turnout yet of Gen. Greeley’s nine hundred thousand men. Gens. Halleck and McClellan—the one on the Upper and the other on the Lower Potomao—are anxiously expecting them, with Greeley at their head, to sweep over the South like Attila and his Huns over the plains of Italy. But tho grass still grows at the South, and there are no signs of the valiant Greoley. The eyes of Hal- leck and McClellan are, however, yot turned northward, momentarily to see the clouds of dust raised by the nine hundred thou- eand marching along. - The Altoona Gubernatorial Comference. | The Emancipation Manifesto of Gen.

It was supposed to be instigated by the rebels,from the fact that Indians fought with the rebels at Pea Ridge, wnder the command of Aibert Pike, a New Eng- land poet, and also from the references made by Jeff. Davis in his recent message to “our faithful Indian allies.” A Richmond paper makes assurance doubly sure upon this point, by contending that we cannot lawfully send our paroled goldiers against the Indians, thus claiming the (n@ians as part of the rebel armies. . However this may he, the paroled soldiers captured by the rebels af Harper's Ferry are on their way to. Minussota, and will give General Pope a large army, with which he can soon make the poor Indians suffer for the erimes into which they have been deluded. By the last census the total number of Indians, of all sorts, sexes and sizes, in this coun- try, from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, and from the Mississippi to the Pacitic, is only ‘tia ee Bact va Oo Con toe oh aay oS ane 300,000, Of course but a very small portion pend Sy th whic nogrend rc thavor ripened then tin rebeltion against the United Sta‘es ; and the that any State or poopie thereof shall on that day good faith represeotet in the Congress of the U States by members chosew thereto at elections wher majority of the qualified voters of such State shall shall, in the a@bence of strong counter be deemed concinsrre evidence that such reef are notin reteliion agains the 0 ‘That attention je hereby called Jo an act .f Cong entitied, * Aa Act to make au additpenal article of w approved Murch 12, 1562, aud which avt is in thew and figures follow2g :— Be it enavted by the Senate and iouse of Represents of the Coived Sta bled, f F the of this force can be concentrated at any one point, and therefore an Indian war amounts to nothing, except on account of its savage and fe- rocious character, and because it turns the at- tention of the State of Minnesota away from the rebellion, has kept her troops employed at home.

Not content with the slow killing process by which railroads and tele- graphs and civilization were yearly thinning out the Indians, they have now arrayed against the poor aborigines the terrible power of this mighty government.
