Burnside’s army are said to | | | battle, xcellent condition and anxious to be led to On Friday morning, while the Second ‘ion of the Ninth corps, under General Sturgis, wore passing from Sulpher Springs to Fayetteville, at 8 point #lout four miles from the latter place, a rebel battery opened upon the column from anele- vation on the opposite bank of the river. Tue attack was sudden, aud rapid firing ensued from a twenty pound gun aud several of lighter calibre. Captain Durek's Penasylvania battery, which was pass- ing at the time, was at once placed in position, and repiied to the rebels, The artillery duel lasted for more than two hours, when the rebela withdrew, and the column continued its march to Fayette- ville. General Sturgis narrowly escaped death. A richochet shot struck his horse and passed close to the General's person, General Buraside has issued an order reorganiz- ing the Army of the Potomac. Three grand divi- sions are aunounced—one under the command of | Goneral Sumner; another under General Franklin, and the third under General Sigel. Au opinion prevails among military men in Washington that General Burnside’s army will soon be attacked by the rebels in force. We opiae, however, that General Burnside is quite ready—or ought to be—to meet any attack of the enemy. He hasan army thoroughly orga- nized, splendidly equipped and eager for action, under his command, and, therefore, the result of any hostile movement of the enemy ought not to be doubtful. important news was received by the Navy De- partment yesterday from the Gulf, to the effect that the United States gunboat Sagamore captured | the English schooner Trier, from Nassau, with a urgo of one hundred bags of salt and miscellane- ous articles on the 28th ult.

Whe Missouri Elections—Emanc in the Border Slave States. sucipatiouists have carvied four or five of the uine members returned for Congress from Missouri by the late elections of (hat State. The same party have made a vigorous forthe State Legislature, and they have most suceecded in seeuring it against the hitherto iuvincible democracy. These results indicate a political revolution as remarkable as just overthrown the republican radicals in New York; but with a little inquiry jnto the subject it will be seen that the people of Missouri, in the election of these emancipa- tion members to Congress, have by no means endorsed the slavery exterminating policy of the abolition radicals, but the widely difleren; soheme of President Lincoln's compensatiy® emancipation, and for very good reasons. Of all the border slave States, excepting Vir- ginia, the State of Missouri has suffered ihe most severely from this war, and especially in the losses of her slave property and in the de- cisive consequences against the continuance of the institution within ber borders, The State has been two or three times overrun by rebey armies, under Price and his Arkansas associates, and with each expulsion they have carried off a lot of negroes. Rebel guerillas have also made very free with the slaves of Uniouists. and Kansas jayhawkers have liberated by hun_ conspirators. Then, again, in the midst of this general confusion of contending armies, gueril- las, robbers and negro stealers, the slave popu- lation of Missouri has taken (o itself wings, and flown away eastward to Mlinois, northward into Iowa, and westward into Kansas, in the proportion of ten slaves to one that has been stolen, by rebels or hurried southward with or by their masters, All these causes, operating together, have materially diminished the cash value of slaves, and their habits of obedienee, and the secur!ty of the institution in Missouri. At the sane time the great European stream of immigra- tion, pressing westward, and overflowing the surroun free States, has invaded and difficed itself over Missowi, and is steadily crowding therein African slave labor to the wall. Slavery in Missouri is reduced to the exhausting pressure of all these elements of internal strife and competition, whea Presi- dent Lincoin submits to Congress his scheme of buying out the institution in all the bor- der slave States. And this, including the absence of twenty or thirty thousand pro- slavery voters im the service of the rebellion farther South, is the true solution of these late emancipation successes in Missouri. That which was spparent in the reign of peace has hecome inevitable from this revolutionizi wat. The manifest destiny of Missouri is that of a free State. Her people, therefore, are rapidly coming over to President Lincoln's border State polley. of emancipation, and probably in their next elections they will ihe question in his favor.

We dare say that, if the Union were restored by New, Year's day, not only the States indicated, but even North Carolina and Tennessee, would realize their true policy to be the gradual re- moval or emancipation of their slaves, and the substitution, as far as practicable, of free white labor. But,in crossing the Southern boundaries of North Carolina and ‘Tennessee we enter into 4 somi-tropieal and miasmatic region, in which | the Southern system of African slave labor, in the production of rice, cotton, sugar, &e., can- not be supplanted by any other system without | the most verions consequences to whites and j blacks aud the ogricu!tural products of the | States concern And here is. the distinetion | between the emancipation poliey whieb is gain- | ing ench headway in Missourl and the emanci- { pation programme of our abolition radicals, The one ds & local and limited polloy, seeking its ob- | ject ina quiet, orderly and bu-ineselike way; | the other is the revolutionary policy of asveep- | ing abolition crusade, by fire aud sword, reck- | less of equences.

Washington is about to be deserted by the foreign embassies, With searoely an exception the diplomatic representatives of foreign Powers have resolved to remove to New York for the winter, leaving only an attache to trans- act the necessary routine business in the national capital, Chevalior Hulseman, the Austrian Minister, has adopted this plan for several years past, and the other Ministers have at last eon- cluded to follow his oxample. Washington—a village of maguificent distances, unfinished go- vernment buildings, dust, mud and disorder—is to be entirely relinguished to politicians, con tractors, Congressmen, soldiers and contraband darkoys, New York is at last recognized as the social capital, as well as the great commercial end finangial metropolis, of the country. The gentlemen attached to the foreign em- bassies will find this diplomatic change of base most desirable, The mission to America will no longer be regarded as a sort of exile, supe” rior only to a banishment to Siberia, In Wash- ington there is no such thing as society, except when Congress is in session, and then the society is rather worse than none. Besides this, the radi- cal mismanagement of the army by Cabinat | members, who know about as much of the art | military as of the art culinary, renders the na- tional capital a rather hazardous place of resi- dence in the opinion of the diplomatic corps. Shet and shel! are no respectors of persons and, although foreign ministers may trouble themselves a great deal about our civil war, they have but little relish for a taste of the stern realities of the campaigu. They prefer to approach the war question gi ly and di- plon lly, and aot to have it come plumply | before them--or perhaps thraigh them-—in the | shape of a fifteen iach shell or a four hundred | pound shot, ‘Then, too, the radicals are still in very strong force at the capital; and, when Con- fvess once assembles, who can, tell whether or not some second Hickman may be empowered (o head another kitchen commitiee to investigate the domestic arrangements of the White House, and put Lord Lyons, or Connt ¥ or some other foreign minister, on the rack; as the com- | mittee of the last session did that great diplo” | matist, Chevalior Wikof, in order to find out what Mra. Lincoln said at dinner, or whom she invited to supper, er at what time end in what ‘garb Honest Old Abe retired to his couch? No wonder, thea, that the foreign aia- bassadors have thought it most prudeut to leave a single aitache to dodge the dangers of rebel raid, the inqniries of kitchen commit” teemea and the society of contrabands and Congressmen, and have determined to come on to this cily, where no mililary perils threaten; where all audacious rebels, young and old, male aud female, are incessantly dogged by Kennedy's detectives or sevretly coufined in Kengedy’s station houses; where gentlemen are the rule, and not the execption; where but a few select Congressmen are recognized in society; where Secretary Chase does not venture, except when | shinning for a hasty loan to pay off’ dissatisfied soldiers, and where all the atiractions of a me- tropolis and of metropolitan society invite the habilues of Karopean courts. ‘This accession of distinguished foreigners will give a new impelus and zest to the gayeties ot the winter in New York. Already balls and fetes, and soirees and dinners, aud all soris of private entertainments, are preparing. The Central Park was never more beautiful than now, and its rides and drives are in the very best order. Neither Hyde Park nor the Bois de Boulogne is very far ahead of our Central Park, either in natural charms or in the number of handsome equipages to be seen there daily, as Lord Lyons and Count Mercier will soon discover. For the more northern diplomats we shall be able to get up something in the Rus- sian style when the skating pond is frozen over and the sleighing carnival begins. Our Opera House is already open, and we trust that Grau (who is rapidly making his fortune and spend- ing it in new clothes and white kid gloves) will not find it necessary to close the doors during the winter. The theatres of this cily are | never closed, and always well patronized. Cer- tainly, with the beautiful Gaerrabella, the sweet- | voiced Lorini, Dinorah Cordier and her pet ‘| goat—which Ullman is now teaching to ba~ah its part of the seore correctly and to refrain from butting the rest of the dramatis persona— the silver-toned Brignoli, the robust Susini; the Hieron, with Edwin Forrest playing on her et! nights; Lester Wallack, the most astonish- ingly young man of his age: Hackett, who is as good a Falstaff off the stage us le is on, ex- | cept iu the matter of corporosity, and all the {| other stars, great and small, fixed and planet. | ary, which now glitter ia our dramatic firma. } ment-~ certainly, with’ all these public perform: ers, Vieng With each other which shall most please their audiences, our diplomatic sojourn- | crs cannot fail to pass a wiuler inmost enjoyably so far as amusements are concerned. And then | Gere ave our clubs, at which one is sure of good dinners avd good company: and the splendid, ceusele-s panorama of our Broadway, of which the Weshington Pennsylvania avenue is only a | ridiculous aud shabby burlesque. And, besides | all this, every private mansion will be open to the ambassadors, ministers and attaches, and very few European residences can surpass some | of our Fifth avenue dwellings. la short, New | York hospitality, already celebrated the world over, will try te excel itself, and the stars, garters, orders and decorations of the foreign embassies will blaze in sclons where they will *be appropriately welcomed and appreciated. We only wish that President Lincoln would make up his mind te spend the winter in New York also. Here he would enjoy the luxury of rest and relaxation from the cares of office, | Here he would escape the impormnities of those | crazy radicals who incessantly beset him like inbred sin or the itch. Bere be would learn Reiger of the true feeling of the people, Here he would see the really great men of the country. It is true that Greeley lives heve; but the President would never be troubled with hiro, since neither Greeley nor his Zribwne is | ever adinitted into decent society in this city. ' Mrs. Lincoln would doubtlese be delighted at the change from Washington's enn to the re- fiued aud joyous society of the metropolis, The nation would be greatly beneliied by such « removal; for if President Lincolp left Washing. ton the vaseally, robbing abolition politicians would leave it also, and allow the wat to, be ended without further interruption, w police would arvest those meddling vill put them in eel!

Upon the pres- tige of his rovolutionary principles Louis Na- poleon became President. In his own name and usurped power he became Emperor. But, as he woll knew and appreciated those whom he had formerly courted, ag @ revolutionist, be again couciliated thent by asserting that, though au Emperor, he was still revolutionary, and that progross and civilization and free govern- ment should ever command bis entire sapport. He openly avowed his intention of aiding all oppressed people, and by 60 doing he stirred up throughout all Europe @ restless spirit for change. The emperors and kings found that with the advont to the throne of France of Na- poleon III. came to them cares and ‘anxieties each day increasing. A revolutionist sat high up tn power, and the downtrodden subjects of other monarchs strove and struggled to draw to themselves tho atteation of this crowned member of the revolutionary party—this Em- peror who, to use his own words, intended that his “empire should be peace,” and that wher- ever there was an injury to redress his influence should be freely given. Nations hitherto passive under tyranuy and oppression now began to act, and nationatities asserted themselves loudly where before they had remained dumb. The infidel first experi- enced material aid from this successful revolu- tionist. ynded by England, France saved Turkey. Atter this proof of the sincerity of the liberal intentions of Napoleon [ff the people of Europe became clamorous for freedom. The Hungarians, the Poles, the Italians, all alike placed their dependence upon that strange anomaly, a revolutionary emperor. The moment came when he judged it fitting to aid [taly; and for her he spent the’blood and treasure of France. The salvation of Italy half achieved, Nu nm paused, aad from that mo- menthe be her bilier ost foe, aud to this day he stands betweon her and the accomplishmeat of her manifest destiny —unity and independence. When the Emperor of the French thus betrayed Italy, the revolutionary party comprehended (uat the instincts of his new position, of his sud- denly acquired power,bad smothered his liberal tendencies, and that he ao loager ranked a revolutionist. He still, however, made ampte professions, still assorted thal ho was in all and above all a member of the revolutionary party, and, making allowance for the exigencies of his position, the party did not break with him. So in Prussia, in Austria and in Italy, the masses still loowed to Napoleon for aid, still believed him their protector. Recent events, however, have put an end to all doubts upon the position of Louis Napoleon. He has chosen betweon the revolutionists and the ultramontane, bigoted clerical party, and is now the tool of the latter. No longer can he claim, as he has hitherto done, the control of all revolutionary movements in Kurope. In Prus- sia, Ausivia and Italy the people will work pout him, nay, against him. Napoleon the Third has tripled the number of his eneinies, and turned agaiast himself the evergies and re- sources of the revolutionary party —those oner- gies and resources Netine been fostered by his own hand. Napoleon is tov wise a statesman not to un- derstand, and, above all, to underrate his dan- ger. He seos ia Prussia the people at open variance with (heir King. The same is the case in Ausizia, while in Italy the people are becom- ing tired of delay and clamorous for Rome. These nations will feel that Napoleon has aban- doned them, and they will rouse against him the revolutionists among his own subjects; and they | are countless, How-will Napoleon avert from himself this great danger? Expeditions in afar off countries are, as he now well knows, unpopular, or, at any rate, not understood or appreciated by the people. [fe must at atl risks, aud at once, | vert their minds from his present policy and late recantation of liberal views. He®must pal- | liate his apostacy from the great revolutionary party. To do this he bas but one sure, one | telling method, and that is war upon England. When he sounds that note throughont his great | empire al! other thoughts, all other aspirations, will give way to universal joy and approval. “ War, war upon Hoagland,” will be shouted on all sides, ard the sound will swell and roll over the country, causing a fremzy of martial arde to glow in the hearts of all Preach mea, women } and childre Vor ages they have hated and despised the British. Has not England always | airnek at France whenever she was most de fenceless or unprepared? Did not Eagland send that great, that ouly Napoleon to die of a broken heart upon the barren rock, St. Hele- na, and have oot all Frenchmen vowed a deep, | a bitter, a certain revenge for this’ Is there ; not that hated word Waterloo to be wiped away! The Emperor would never have allowed Victor Hugo's “Les Miserables” to be published | in France had it not have been tit that book , contained « wondrously stirring account of Waterloo. Napoleon Iff. felt how apropos those pages would fal! upon the minds of his people, and so he overlooked all that was un- | pleasant to himself in “Les Miserables,” and was overjoyed as he felt assured of the effect to | be produced. An invasion of England would gladden the revolutionary party throughont the length and breadth of Europe. On all sides she ix hated | and feared, and when Napoleon strikes at her he is assured of universal sympathy. Anattack | upon “Perfide Atbiou,” an invasion upon Kng- lish soil, has ever been the heartfelt desire of the French army. Not one of Napoleon's sub- jects would stand aloof from him were he to deciare war upon Hoyland to-morrow. All party differences, ll jealensies, would vanish before the fact that the universally hated Eng- land was to be struck. This, we repeat, Napoleon, knows, and te this he will be driven vy his apostacy from the revolutionary party. It is his only safeguard, and unless some sirange, some very sudden | changes occur in Kurope, the invasion of Bag- | land by Napoleon is tnevitable. The fore of cireumstances are driving him into this; 9 fatality as strange as his suddea rise to power is weging him into & war with England, from which at present there seems no escape. The results will bé momentous on our side of | the Atlantic.

The Gun Fired Inside the Turret with No Concassion or Smoke, American Guns and Turrets Vic. torious, ke, Rte ae The new Iron-clad Puasaic went om atrip yesterday for tho purpose of teating the operations of the fifteen-inch gun inside ‘of the turret. Men of scientific knowledge, military and naval officers, bad confidently assorted that it would be impossible to Gre a gun 50 largo with a full sor vice ehargo inside of a turret without elthor killin’ the gun’s crew outright or disabling them after a fow rounds. Many gaid that the English had wed hoary guas, but were obliged to give up their use, a8 thoy were not able to work them. But the rosuite of yestorday have convineed the most skeptical of those who witnessed the experiment of the feasibility, and oven caused those ume ron 0 be the most enthusiastic in their oxpressionr of delight and astonish gont at the auceess of tho exporiment- ‘The Passaic left the wharf at the foot of Thirtoonth (set botween ten and eloven o'olock in the morning, mud steamed up the Nerth rivor againét a strong ebb tide sad # heavy uoriherly wind. Her sped, from iho avert, averaged over seven knots through the water, and her aorew making only filty-cight turus, which is twenty-two ess than she has the power to give. But, the boilers foaming, it was not doomed advisable to drive her to bor raaximuta speed, tho trial bong more for whe gua (han the vessel, Bor spood was remarked by all ow Weard, many thinking abo was going faster than abe real ly was; bub the log gave the true Agures, The air was cold aud the breeze very piercing; but the anxiety as lo the result of the exporiment kept eway one op deok. On arriving ata poiat opposite Fort Warlington the Passaic was hoaded in towards tho wostern shora of the river, under tho towering ciifis of Lhe Palisades, when, 8a° lecing an uninhabited spol, it was deters to se tho offect againss the rocky bulwarks of (ho nob{o Tudsom, The steamer was stopped, and the filtecu-inch gun wes loailed with twenty pounds of powder and a hollow shot. After the gua waa run out to the side uf the turret and ail was ready, It was flrod, the ball ctcoobeting alony the water a fow times, then striking the rocks, causing thom (o ty like so much chaff, followed by a terrible echo, which» in itaforce, resembied the explosion of a powder mill. ‘Tho noise outside of the turret was terrible, ‘while inside thoro was no concussion of any account, and tho aoe certainly did not exceed that which would have beoa pre- duoed by the firing of an ordinary pistol, Every ono was surprised and uowilling at the first trial tory much; all were anxious see the offect of a fut service charge of thirty-four pounds of-powder. ‘The gua only recoiled seventeen inches, Sxconp Fimixg.—The second time the gun was loaded with thirty-ve pounds of powder and a hotlow shot, It was fired, recoiling three feet ton inches, producing ag uupleasant concussion, and, as before,»there was scarecly any smoke im the turret. Several of the spectators wha were in the turretiat the first firing wore outside this gio to see the working of the shot, which had been spoken of by those who were outside at the time; but the © noise outside was so unpleasant that they preferred to be inside the uext time the gun was fired, and accordingly they weat in and remained there through the remainder of the fring. Trey Frria.—Tho third timo the gun was fired it was charged with thirty-five pounds of powder and » hollow shot. The recoil was only two feet eight inches. The same results were obtained without trouble; in fiot It was much pleasanter Inside than outside of the turret. No noise was perceptible tending to discomfort either on the berth deck or in the engine room. Fouxrs Fmma.—The fourth and last time the gun waa fired it was chargod with thirty-five pounds of pow‘ter and a solid shot, the first one fired from a gunof thie size with a full service charge, The result was precisely the same, the recoil being only two feet eight inthe, «ad no smoke or noise in the turret. ‘Thus ended the experiment with the gun, which ia every respect was satisfactory. We refrain from giving our foreign friendsor the rebels the slightest clue as te how this matter has been aceomplished, but suffice it te say that it fs the plan of, Captain Eriosson, and it now ts believed to be as near perfect as anything mortal maa can make. We will, however, give some of the gencra! points t= the workings of these new Movitors, showing their most prominent features. In the Girst place, their speed will be sufficient for the purposes for which they were desigucd. There is no doubt that they wilt go at the very leas nine knots, Secondly—At no time will the gut of tho vessel be liable to any damage from the projectiles of the enemy; for the muzzles will not pro- trade outside of their shield. Thirdly—The number ot men to work one of these enormous guns is less than to work an ordinary eloven-inch gun on @ Marsilly carriage Three men will run out the fifteen-inch gun, weighing 42,000 ponnds (nearly twenty-one tons), as ensily as nineteen mea work an eleven-inch pivot. The English ta- pended to pnta fourteen ton gun in a cupola, but Slr Howard Dongiaes strenuonsly opposed such a step, as be believed that they would not be able to get men enough inside to work it, Therefore it never was attempted, One strong perfoa cap run out the Ofteen-iach gun while he rung out the cleyen-inch one, with perfect cage. In ‘hese new Monitor batteries wo give not only pro. teotion to the men, dot to the guns, which, when the vessel bes but two, it is very desirable should be protected. The appliance to carry off the conenssioa ond smoke ta simple and ingenious, and the government show!| take care uot yw let (his secret get ont, so as to be ued by other Powers, It is a success only second to ihe conception of the original Monitor. Europe will again ve dstovished aud sot to thinking, while America not ouly bos the work done, but will ere long test the work- jug om her qnemies. Bue success of tring & mouster Of. teon-inch gun insite of a turret adds another wreath of laurele to those alreaiy won by the goniar of Ericasoa. Our conntiy should be rend of his talents and successes. All who witwessed (he trials yesterday were bighly de- lightea; aud, although net present to receive thei? con- gratulations, Captain Ericsson will be remembered by them when the day of battie comes and they receive the benefits of this grand trinmph of mechanical skill. Skeptics by the score were converted, and those who, yesterday morning, uubesitatingly saic “* The thing cam’t be dene,” ave now the loudest in its praise. ‘The Passaic returned late in the afternoon to the Dele- mater Ion Works, where the finishing touches will be put on ber, sud in a few days she will be turned over to the Navy Department, ready for active service. Admi- ral Gregory, Chief Engineers Stimers, Robie and Newton; Captain Drayton and all the officers of the Passaic, Mr. Giraud and others of the Montauk, were present. Other- wise there were no persous except thoes connected with ivom-ciaar. ‘The eleven-inch gun wae not fired on this trip, ae tt was not doemed necessary to use It while the question of the fiiieen-inob would sottic all the peints required.
