Everything is reported quiet in McClellan's army. ‘The reconnoiteriug forces from Harper's Ferry and Shepherdstown, having fully accom- plished their object, have returned to their origi- aol quarters. The rebels pressed closely in the rear of General Humphreys’ force to within a short distance of Shepherdstown, but he made g00d his retreat, bringing o number of prisoners with him. A number of stragglers from Stuart's ‘band wore captured yesterday. General Stahel, with a detachment of cavalry, made & reconnoissance yesterday in the direction ¥ Falrfax, and fell in with a large body of rebel ‘vavalry and a battery of artillery near Thorough. fere Gap, and repulsed them, after capturing eighty men and one caisson of ammunition. Gene- #al Stahel pursued them hotly. : A gentleman who left Fredericksburg a week #40 roports that there are no rebel troops now there, except a few cavalry, who are doing pickeg duty from that city to Aquia Creek, There are no infantry in the neighborhood, and the citizens are dally expecting ux utiack from our forces. General Banks, accompanied by his staff, aud Gonorai Casey and staff, reviewed a portion of General Casey's command yesterday. The troops, although composed exclusively of new recruits, arched well, and, it is said, mado 2 very respecta- b'e appearance. By despatchos from Gallipolis, Ohio, we learn, On authority stated to be perfectly reliable, that wil the rebel infantry and artillery have left Weat- ora Virginia, after securing all the salt they could Asy hold of from the springs im that region.

The Conners rvative Revolution—Postpone- ment of the President's Proclamation. The recent elections—particularly those in Obio aid Indiana—ore the indications of as great a political revolution as ever took place in this country or any other. Public opinion: notwithstanding the restrictions upon the press, had beon making silent and steady progress, and the result is now seen iu the avalanche which is sweeping away the republican party. And this conservative movement, like a saow- ball, is gathering strength as it goes, and will be more fully developed in the elections in Novem- The same causes will produce the same effects, to which must be added the force of example; and it is a well known political jaw that revolutions never go backwards, Radical- ism has culminated, and played itself out, and its descent to the obscurity whence it sprang will be thore rapid than even its sudden elova- tion to power. The evidence of its insanity and incapacity to rule is over- is cumulative and whelming, and the sovereign people are pass- ing sentence upon it. Never has any party proved so compleie a failure or done so much evil in so short a time. lis punishment will be in proportion to its crimes. One of the greatest of its atrocities was iutimiddtion of the President. Bat the ac- tion of the pegple through the ballot bed emnneipates him from the power of the faction. and lays it prostrate at his feet. In the people, whe have arisen in their might to vindiente the constitution, Hes the strength of the Chief Magistrate. With the people at his back he can sei the radicals at detiance, and either revoke ov postpene the proclamation which they extorted from bim, but which is desiined, like Dead Sea fruit, to turn to ashes on their Hips. The Presi- alent, who hed continually resisted their mxchinations, never believed it would have any effect on the Scath, aud never intended it should. He kaew. as be said. it was like © the Pope's ball against the comel.” \t is mow made plain to the President that people do not desire to see the proclama- tiow carried out, and the declaration of their will fu the recent elections wil! enable him to i poue action on the proclamation fer three, six, nine or twelve months, or even sine die. He might let it remain a dead tetiver, as it must remain till he gives it life ty ano ber proclama- tion desiganting the Sinte yebellivo. Tf he declines to issue the second pro amation the first cannot go iuto operatiun. Ku t would the success of Mr. Lincoin’s he would revoke the pro- if postponing it til) January 1, 1864, | which tine the Congress elected this tal! would be in session, and be eure to endorse his conservative action. Itix fortunate thal Mr, Linvoln was not induced to fesne a proelaina- ; tion of immediate emancipation, but only a mere { programme of something he may do hereafter. } The radicals tailed to precipitate him inte an irrevoeable policy, and he has still the game in his own hands. 1, acting upon the develop- ment of the popular sentiment against the carrying oul of the proclamation he would now issue a manifesto either withdrawing it, or post- poning it to a more convenient season, Mr. Lin- coln’s course would meet with the hearty ap- planse of the nation. Gueruwy's Manoyactony or Lins. ---Poor Greeley has not eocceeded very well in the lobby business, the loltery busivess, the gift enterprise business, the strawberry plant busi- ness, the business of puffing consumption doe- tors, the business of editing « newspaper, or the powinese of manufacturing guns by contract. He always succeeds, however, in his favorite busi« nese of manufacturifg lies. A few days ago he published reports of the conrt martial upon Genoral Martindale, now Leing held at Wash ington. The members of that conrt martial comment upon these feports with indignation and surprise. General Harney, the Preafdent of the court, said that “the man who wrote those reports ought {0 be punished severely.’s What doce poor Greeley say to that? The Re. corder raid “that sintement of the Tribune is certainly Jalse.” Does poor Greeley wince at that! This tampering with treth Is avery risky business. It may bring noor Grow apple tree before very lung. to a Sour English Treachery—Qrosd Violation of Noutrality. At the very commencement of ow civil troubles, aud alinest before the conflict of aris had been really entered upon, the British go* yernment, with most unseemly haste, eecog nized the rebel confederacy as a belligerent Power, accompanying that sect with a proclama of neutrality, It was not onty in a moral but ina material point of view, that this attt tude of England was an advantage to the rebels ft placed them before the world fa a posiiion to which, certainly, they were not then entitled, and it opened the British and colonial ports to their privateers and sningglers. But, as if these werg not sufficient proofs of sympathy with the re. bellion, England endeavored to pick a quarrel with us in the Trent affair, and, failing in that, hak ever since been encouraging and lending aid to the rebels in every possible way. The veseela that have run the blockade of tho Southern ports Lave been Englixh, ihe ord- nance aud small arms which the rebels have been procuring abroad have been English, and it has been at Mnglish ports that the rebel priva- teers have received | shelter, protection and out fita. The case of the Alabama, which Is now cour milting depredations on our trading vesceis off the Manks of Ne indiand, affords the latest proof of the treacherous part w has been aystematicatly acting towards vessel was bnilf at Liverpool for! this very business.

It is easier to deal with an open enemy than with a concealed foe. Our government should at once, in this mat ter of tue Alabama, make reclamation on the English, government for all the losses which : = ow people have sustained, or may sustain, rate privateer. It may aot be politic to insist upon those reclamations at this time; but they stored the republic to all its former greatness, When that tine comes wo will be much sur- prised if-our government does not, in retaliation fer the villanous treachery of England, seize and hold Canada woltil full and satisfactory retribution be made for this and all other co- yertly hostile acts whicl lation, we have experienced at the hands of the Britieh government.

Then they began to discover tha! we were “a dangerous people” — a knowledge which is being daily improved by tue desperate character of the battles—-naval and militury—that mark the course of the war. ft is no wouder that the world should stand aghast al the speciacle presented by these con- flicts, Nothing like them, as regards the tenacity of the combatants and the amount of Vite sacrificed, bas been witnessed in ancient or modern times. In the wars of Alexander the'Great, Oesar, and even of Napoleon, great siress wae laid on tlie fact of au army being brought to fight 4 seeond battle within a week of the time at which the firat bad taken place. A longer interval of rest was deemed indispen- suble to recruit tho exhausted energies of the troops. We have changed all thai, The Ame- rican soldier vot only fights several battles tu a week, but be can Bight every day in the week, from sunrise to sundown, as was shown on the peninsula ; aud in the way of endurance noth- ing has yet been seen hike the work done by We ragged, shoeless and halt famished troops of the Southera couledersey, in whose gallantry, when the war is over, we shall, no doubt, as Anglo-Saxons, take as much pride as if we never were opposed to (hem in deadly strite. Jt ig no wonder that Koglishmen should feel an all-engrossing interest in the physical a | pects of the terrible contest now being waged { here. They offer to them not merely a question | of the longer or shorter duration of the war, but of prospective considcrations involving far weightier consequences to them than the con- tinued derangement of thelr manufacturing interests. As to intervention, no sane mind in England or France sny longer contemplates the probability of it. To produce the slightest impression in a war conducted on such a tre- inenduns scale it would cost England and France larger armies and a beavier expenditure than it would be possible for either or both to main- tain, Hostitities with ne, carried on at such o distance from theix sources of supply, and with the obstacles interposed ‘by three thousand miles of ocean, would beggar both countries in atwelvemonth, Physically. a# well as finan- cially, an armed intervention is out of the ques- tion: for no army that could be sent lieve could sueceed in effecting a debavkation in the face of the immense fighting odd# that in a few hours could be bronght to bear on any point of our coast on an invading force. Secessionist sympathizers in Bngland and France have learued to appreciate these facts, and benee the more respectful tone in which they now epeate of out military qualities. As the war pro- gresses towards its termination, they will dts cover that to forbenrance, it will be prudent to add the virtue of vopolliation, i ! ‘ j } ( i i { Gaexiny’s Nise He: DRED Tuo Sand.-Where are those nine handred thousand men who wore promised to the government by poor Greeley Vhoy have not enlisted; for the draft is boing yt itto operation, They have not voted, for through the operations of that British-Confede- can be filed by, te be brought to Ught aud urged with the whole power of the nation as soon a4 we have pul down the rebels aud re. in our time of tribu- Tar Ficuriexe Quauives or tax Aveetcay English tory journals indulged in many a laugh ad the fighting qualities of the Americans, North and South.

It is a well estab- lished fact that the same set of political ideas prevail alike in Western Now York and in Ohio, Wertern New York was formerly democratic under the Jefferson and Madison rule,and re. mained so up to the commencement of the nie excitement, which originated in oa, when it be nomime the slrogghold of at the whig party. @ dissolition of the whig country between the Caynga vi Late Krie was considered the para- fise of whigs, When that party sul then became republican, and has sinc: to that fatth, giving to the cand d party the majorities that have 6¢ iunoph, The a oF that ed their meervative revolution revealed by the ns iu the State of Ohio, where the me po sentiments prevail, may there ore forestindow a complete revolution in West, New Yc and show that it is again re- ing to the principles that governcd the country | days of Jafferson and Madisou, and couptetely rout the radicals in what they now cousider as their stronghold. The de‘eat of Senator Wade by the conservative trinmph in Ohio may bo considered aa foreshadowing the fate of Chaudler, of Michigan, and Sumner, of Massachusetts, as well as indicating that the Senator to be elected frum this State must come from the ranks of th: aservatives, and not the radical element of the State. In short, the more the returns from Pennsylvania and Ohio are ex- amined and sorutiaized, the more satisfactory they appear to the conservative sentiment of the couatry. They sound the death kuell to radicalisin aud the radical intrigues which have so loug interfered with the vigoveus proseca- tion of the war. The conservative tide has set in. The first fruits of a conservative revolution are seen in tho result of the October elections. Lie tall now in motion, i it will gather strength as it rolls onward, and no person can predict: the import-- ant results that will follow. Nor is there to be found in this political revolution, thia repndia- tioa of the radicals, their issues and doctrines, the first crumb of comfort to the secessionists gf the South or their sympathizers here. ‘Ibe returns, in fact, clearly indicate that both the republi- can and democratic parties have becn defeated, and that the people, in almost every instance, have chowen those men to represent them who are known to be trae aud staunch war ihen—tmen who are in favor of conducting the war in iis only legitimate way, and for speedily putting down the rebellion by the use of the cannon and the hayouet, and net by paper proclama- tions. To all of those who are desirous that the rebellion shall be speedily crushed out aud brought to an early end the signs of the times ave full of hope. Let the ball roli oa. era ork, t tur Gaexeny ox Axiancamation or Racas,— Greeley, in the Trine, devotes a columu in his editorial page to the ‘advocacy of amalgamation. He suys none of us can tell what kind ofoblood we have iu our veins, and he suggests that Brooks, of the Mxpress, has a taint of the negro from one of his ances- tors. It ts equally probable that Greeley ig a descendant of an African albine. He says we are all at besi u mixed race, consisting of Saxon, Celt, Norman and Scandinavian. Why. thea, object (o amalgamation with the negroes? He might as well ask why chject to amalgama- tion with the Hottentots or the African goril- ius. Saxons, Celts. Normans and Seandinavinas are all white men—-varieties of the same Can- casian stock. The negro is as distinct a the donkey is from the Arabian horse. Greeley, in- deed, holds that the black man is the superior race and of a purer stream, aud that the white race of the United Staies are only “bleached blacks, degenersied by civilization from the purity of the origivel blood. The beastly, filthy proposition of Greeley to amalgauale with the biecks and produce « deteriorated by- brid race, like the races of South America. Central America aud Mexico, cannot fail to ex- cite the deep disgust of every white may who is not completely Nesotied by fanaticism. The natural instinets of the white race and the sen- timent of the whole country revolt agwinst it- Such is the antipathy of the white men of Mti- nois to the negro that Mr. Stanton has been in- duced to revoke his order sending the contra- bands to that State. In the French Revolution the Jacobine set up for worship in the Cathe- dral of Notre Dawe,a naked courtesan, whom they called the Goddess of Reason. Greeley proposes to set up for adoration a nude, greasy negress as the almighty goddess of the Ameri- can peuple. Nownation or Gexnnat. Dix ror Gover xon.—It will be seen by reference to our city political news that the organization calling it- self the Federal Union has issned a call for a State Convention, to be held at the Cooper In- stitute, on the 28th day of this month, for the purpose of ratifying the nomination of General Dix for Governor. It is impossible to tell what effect this movement may have upon the poli+ tics of the State, or bow far it will be respouded to by the people. One thing is certain: there ave a large class iu this State who are dissatis- fled with both of the nomiuees for Governor now, before the people. Lt is algo a well known fact that a lange niunber of the most indueutial men of the deinocratio party, not only in this city, bul throughout the State, looked upon General Dix as the candidate for the thnos; and, on the other hand, it is also known that not only Weed, but « large portion of his party, de- sired Dix’s nomination at the Syraquse Con- vention, as tbe large vote cast for him on the first ballot clearly indicated. All this element may quickly raily under this new call, and form 4 nucleus that will carry Dix in.over both of tho other candidates, . These are pevolution- ary time’, whea the publie mind act qulekly ud without tegend to patty Lites, for the times.
