Should the resolution be passed there are probably many wpecu lators who might be tempted into such a speculation, provided the margin of prodt offered was very large. The writer suggests that perhaps the Confederates, by means of the Orcto and other vessels, hope to break up ihe Dieckade of Charleston or other ports during the winter: The London News thinks the federal cause hag never before looked: so like euecess in its essentia) features: ‘The South is alinost at the iast stage of exhaustion, while the North i¢ nearly untouched in all ite resources. Al! . that European nations nave to do is to wait. The ovent ‘must s00n be decided by other influences than those. The London 7imes, of course, takes directly the oppo- site view, and says:—More important than news o- battles is the fact that New York money hag at last ho {gan tofec! really the dangers which threaten;the country. ‘ith not a single Confederate State conquered or likely to ‘de; with not one cent yet levied by direct taxation at the North; with an immense host of raw recruits to be paid their bounty, armed, clothed and supported; with a gi- gantic mass of materials to provide for another invasion, - the federal government finds its paper depreciated not far fromathird im value, Although, probably, no invasion of Pennsylvania on a large scale is intended, a freab raid ‘8cv0s8 the Potomac impresses the fodorale with a convic Sion that their enemy ig as ful! of spirit as ever. The article then expatintes on the interminable and indcelsive Bature of the Daltles in the West, The Liverpool correspondent of the London Times, Mr. Spencer, again urges mediation or recoguition,on the ground that Europe cannot remain calious elther to the suffering there or the horrors imponding cleewnere. ‘fe thinks the contest bet too likely to degenorate into a min tual butchery, and that England may tben be driven to take ap arms to end such an outrage on civilization. The London News points to Sumuer’s speech at Boston and its reception as a refutation of the London Times" urguments that the emancipation scheme would be repu- diated. It denounces the scandalous charges which have been brought against the author ant abetiors of te scheme, At a public meeting at Oldbam resolutions were ofered calling op the government to recognize the indepeadeuce of the Confederate States as the only means of end ug the civil war, An amendment was offered declaring that recognition was impolitic, end likely to reulk tna wor with the North. Afier a warm debate, and uproarious proceedings, the original motion was declared carricd although the meeting was about cqually divided. The destruction of American ships by the pirate Ala ‘bama caused a general advance in the rates of insurance at Moyés of 2a3 pr cent on all American ships. The advance demanded at Liverpool is cven as high ag ire giinoes por cent. It is stated that MM.

Active Movements—The Contest a! Snicker’s Gap—A Redel Feint, but of No AvailmA Piyht, de., dc. Yesterday was a busy Sabbath with the Army of tho Potomac. This usually quiet neighborhood of Quaker in- habitants, who for a lifetime have enjoyed their wented peaceful Sabbath, was changed into an arena of active warlike operations, preliminary toa deadly contest with tho enemy, which, up to Inst evening, was down in the Programme'as the opeving scone of tho ensuing week's operations, Steadily, for days past, have the armies of McClellan and Barnside been concentrating iu heavy force at points in the valiey east of the Bluo Ridge, with no less purpose than to dislodge the enemy, who has led us to believe that he designs to dispute the passage of tho several gaps which he hae held in strong force. Pheaganton and Bayard bavo for several days been on+ gaged in sounding the front, and last evening the former succeeded in taking possession of Snicker’s Gap. All day the report of distant cannonading has been beard at this point, and the enemy have doubt!oxs become convinced that we are im earnest touching the subject of an advance, which is not to be stayed by any delusive feint or popgun demonstration. During yesterday’s proceedings they endeavored to carry out one of their jayorite ideas of warlike tactics, which was Lo withdraw from the summit of the monntain at Suckers Gap, feigning a retreat, while they had really \aken aconcealed position in the woods on the western slope of the mountains.

On Sppronohing the town it was discovered that a force of rebels occupied the place, and immediately it was determined to attack and drive them from the town. A sharp skirmish engued, the result of which was the retreat of tae rebels. They were driven about three miles beyond Union, which place Col. Hoffman has since held. Our joss was five killed and ten wounded. Our forces are now in possession of Snicker’s Gap, having driven the enemy from that position on "Sunday evening. Our Snickersville Correspondence.

Lieutenant Colonel Sargeant, of the First Massachusetts cavalry, with his regiment aud the Sixth, Seventh and Fourteenth United States infantry, the latter in command of Captain O'Connell, pursuant to directions of General Porter, went on @ reconnoissance yesterday afternoon tbrough Snicker’s Gap. ‘The object was to take a view of the territory on the other side of the Blue Ridge cbain and see the strength of the enemy there. No‘ resistance was met in proceeding throngh the gap until the summit of the mountain pass was attained, Here our advancing column came upon the rebel pickets, who fled at the approach of our men, firing as they re- ated. Our inen advanced cautiously, seuding out skir- hers in front, Near tbe base of the mountain on the opposite side, «<}se by the banks of the Shenandoah river, were a large force of rebel infantry and some cannon, ‘Yhe enemy opened with musketry and shell, Our mep, undaunted, charged upon them, A most brilliant charge was made by our cavalry. ‘The sharp aud incessant fring of our infantry, coupled with the cavalry charge, sent the rebels scattermg. ‘They plunged into the river iv witd confusion under our fire. Scores of dead bodies were seen floating in the water aiterwards, showing that our firing was attended with most deadiy cileet. Our men did not press acrose the river, but, having driven the enemy across, withdrew, bringing all our killed and wounded with thom. The vbject of the reconnois- gance was fully accomplished. The enemy ten regiments across the river and eight cannon. They opened tire upon us with all their gups. We had no artillery. The enemy outaumbered us ten to one. * Jt was a most brilliant affair.

EFPRCTS OF BEAGG'S DEFRAT AT PERRYVILLE. ‘The news of Bragg’s defeat at Perryville has created @ profound sensation amon cessionints mn this city, From this place the first el infantry wore mostly enlisted. Among the ‘eve members of three companies of the Mock City Guard, a parely Nash- ville corps. When news reached here that the regiment bad been sadly cut up at Perrryvilie the sigus of woe and sadness were everywhere dizcernible among the rebel sympathizers. Women, old and young, could be seen on the streets, their eyes suffused in tears, and stopping and exchanging news of the battle with one another. A rebel soldier reached Nashville trom Harredoburg yesterday, and was taken to General Negley’s headquarters. It soon become known that such was the case, and heaiquarters were besieged by adios all anxious to have one word with the prisoner. “Let me bave only a word with bit,” im- ploringly said an elderly lady, tears streaming from her eyes; “let me have only one little word withhim, fhay® a sou in the same regiment, and only want to know his fate.’ A flood of tears choked her further utterance. ‘This is but a sample of the feeling many mothers and daughters m Nashville exhibit when news of # battle ip which their kindred were engaged is received.

But az Bragg bas evidently takeu other direction in bis retreat, i seems that tuey mo miscalculation. . ‘The report of the enemy's crossing at the above named ford fixed their number at three thousand, which was probably an over-estimate.
