New York, Wednesday, October 15, 1862, THE SITUATION. The advices trom Frederick last night represent everything quiet along our lines. A few of Stuart's men were captured and bronghtin, A report was prevalent among the rebel sympa, thizers in the town that an attack was to be made by the rebels last night; but of course the idea ‘Was absurd. It was rumored in Washington yesierday that a force amounting to 50,000 of the rehels had con- centrated at Centreville—a fact which would seem to tally with other statements, to the effect that the main body of Gen. Lee’s army was moving south- ward, by way of Thornton's Gap, from Winchester, and was moving on Saturday in the direction of Warrenton. It seems somewhat strange that the rebel army should take a course through Thorn- ton’s Gap while the Manassas Railroad was open to them from Strasburg, further north than Thorn- ton’s. No official confirmation of the presence of this rebel force at Centreville reached the govern- ment yesterday. Lieutenant Koenig, of Gencral Sigel’s corps, made a reconnoissance on Monday beyond the Rappahannock, and drove in the rebel pickets at Stephensburg, a town about midway between the Rappahannock and Rapidan. He reports a bri, gade of rebel infantry and artillery at Culpepper Court House, and aout a thousand more at Rap- pahannock Station. The order for a draft in this State, isened by Governor Morgan yesterday, will be found in another column. The time fixed is the 10th of next month, and the draft is to be made for such Bumber of men as may be necessary to fill up the amount of 120,000, apportioned to the State. The mamber to be drafted will probably be about 35,000. We give to-day a highly interesting account from our correspondent on the ficld of the late @plendid Aght near Perryville, Kentucky, known ae the battle of Chaplin's Hills, The bravery of our troops was almost without parallel, and the conduct of General Rousseau, who commanded, ‘was magnificent throughout the whole action. Nothing of importance has occurred in Kentucky gince our last ad Governor Robinson has received intelligence that the rebels were retreating from Camp Dick Robin- @on towards Lancaster, and that General Buell e3. ‘was ia close pursuit of them.

The Asia, off Cape Race, forwards news from Europe to the 5th instant, two days later than our last advices. The Paris Patrie hears from “ good sources” that it is most likely that France end England wili soon have under deliberation the subject of the recognition of the South ‘‘on the basis of accom- plished facts.” It is alleged that the two Powers will act in concert. It is found that England shipped during the first eight months of this year arms and ammunition valued at $6,549,000 to America, and the export trade in these materials of war was rapidly in- creasing at the latest date. The London journals still comment on Me- tedto a seat inthe House of Clelian’s victories in Maryland, but the q@riters seck every opportunity to lessen theie importance in effect, and thus de- ¢ract from the fame of the gallant commander. The London Army and Navy Gazetle thinks that the invasion of Maryland was a ‘ mistake’ and a “failure” on the part of the rebels; but adds that “ great generals’ would have converted the mis- take into a ‘‘ disastrous defeat,” while “ second rate soldiers like MéClelian” could only achieve a reapectable success. The rebel privateer “ No, 290" has, it is now said, destroyed ten American whalers off the Western Islands, Their names are given else- where.

General ¢ The Board of Supervisors met y rday morn- ing, Mr. Purdy in the chair. Several vacancies among inspectors of election were filled. Tt was resolved to advertise the places of registry in the principal papers, after which the Board adjourned to Wednesday next at three o'clock. ‘The trial of Mrs. Mary Real, for the murder of her husband in Broadway, is now drawing to a close. The evidence has been conciuded on both sides, and the medical testimony elicited yester- day—both on the direct and cross-examination— was peculiarly interesting on the questions of insanity and suicidal mania. The following are the points upon which Mr Edwin James relies for the defence of his client; the accused, It is understood that he will oceupy the greater part of the day in his advocacy.

It was one of. the largest and most enthusiastic po- litical meetings ever held in New York, and the ratification meeting of the republicans to en- dorse Wadsworth was a mere bagatelle com- pared with it. This is a cogent reason why the democrats and their candidate can afford to be generous and withdraw from a contest in which they have scarcely anything to gain, while the exasperation of party spirit, caused by a con- flict in which the most fierce denunciations of ‘treason and other crimes are launched against each other by the belligerents, may !ead to the most serious consequences to the State and the country at large. It presents a still stronger reason why Gen. Wadsworth and the radicals ought to retive from the field, and leave General Dix or some such man to walk over the ground without a struggle. When Wadsworth was nominated, and the ratification meeting held in this city, the issue had so shaped itself that nothing but the most vehement and dangerous party strife could be expected to result. But now that the nomina- tion of the democratic candidate has” been ratified by a trewendous gathering of ex- cited and angry partisans, the danger is in- creased, and there is an absolute necessity for postponing the conflict toa more distant day, and merging party differences in common love of countyy aud patriotic geal for the prosecution of the war for the restoration The exigencies of the times de- If the contest is continued there every reason to fear the worst consequences {f it is abandoned, and aman upon whom both parties can compromise is nominated, inuninent Seymour and Wadewetth. danger will be averted and the may be expected. firms the w three d The speech of Mr. John Van Buren fully con- liom of the vie laid before our readers during the last two or He says:— are no who enj uth. nomination 0 fime that the nominatio ve advisable, A majority hole of the Conventi¢ feel entirely autho: have been mot happy to xain by again holding the office filled that position with crevit to himself and advantagg He was advancing in his po- litical caveer and had aright to espire to higher honor, Aroturn to it was to take a step backward, to renew again the dutier of au office in whitch he had acquired, by asingle act,an honor which be coult not exceed if ae should serve for fifty years. From this extract from his speech it appears that it was the cpinion of Mr. Van Buren that able candidate was Geueral Dix; and the fact comes out, which is greatly to the credit of Seymour, that the latter gentleman would have been most happy to withdraw it General Dix had been nominated and had ac- cepted the nomination, and if there had heen a disposition to unite all the citizens of the State upon him. Now we hold that itis not yet too late, and, if General Wadsworth and the radi- cals are willing to accept the compromise, there is no reason why it may not be carried out.

This is consistent with the policy which they have pursned since the commencement of the war. their game to persistently understate the forces of the rebels. Wherever democratic generals have led our troops they have never failed to represent the strength opposed to them as Had republican generals been in command they would just as surely have in- sisted that the enemy outnumbered them two to one.
