All the news from the vicinity of Gettysburg, accumulating as it does from every quarter, con- firms the fact that the defeat of General Lee’s army on Friday wasa total rout. Perhaps the best evi- dence of this is the number of prisoners which our troops are picking up In large bodies, amounting now to nearly 28,000, or almost the fourth part ofthe rebel army. The troops of General Lee are scattered in the mountains, whither they were en- deavoring to escape towards Virginia.

Itisin vain to talk to sucha critic of the surpassing genius of the poet. He can see nothing but the few trivial mistakes, and shuts his eyes persistently to the manifold beauties which he lucks mind to appreciate. So, when a stupid bricklay e- attenrpts to pronounce judg- ment upon some such miracle of architecture as the Parthenon, he objects to this rough stone or that cracked brick, or pounces triumphantly upon a piece of mortar which has fallen down, and no persuasion can induce him to leave these minute and trifling details and-do justice.to the beauty and grandeur of the entire edifice. | Now, what the brainless critic is to Shakspere, and what the stupid bricklayer is to the Parthe- non, the small politicians of the day are to the great historical events now occurring upon this continent. & On the Fourth of July Governor Seymour, of The Great + Important from rope—More Offers of Mediation. By the arrival of the City of Washington we learn that Louis Napoleon is following up his successes in Mexico by a fresh effort at inter- ference in our affairs. It is stated in the Paris correspondence of the London Times—an ex- tract from which will be found in another column—that at a Cabinet council held at the Tuileries, on the 18th of last month, it was determined that a despatch should be addressed on the same day to the French Ambassador in London, instructing him to renew the proposals on the part of the Emperor to the English gov- ernment for a joint diplomatic action in this country. On the following Monday the Emperor received at Fontainebleau those two contempti- ble political hirelings and bitter enemies of the North, Messrs. Lindsay and Roebuck. The in- terview is described to have been excessively cordial, and Napoleon is reported to have said that “his only motive for interference was to put a stop to the horrible carnage in America. as there was no ohance of restoring the Unton.” The persistency with which this latter asser- tion is reproduced on all occasions by English and French statesmen is perhaps the best proof of their own misgivings as to its correctness. It is the wish merely that is father to the thought. Like the poltroon who whistles in the dark to maintain his oozing courage, they keep up this refrain in order to avert from their view the unpleasant prospect of a restored Union. The best answer to it, as well as to the despatch which threatens us with this fresh scheme of intervention, is the closing bulletin of the battle of Gettysburg. If that does not cool down any disposition that may exist on the part of either or both governments to again insult us with an offer of their “friendly offices,” we are much mistaken. this State, ex-Governor Seymour, of Connec- ticut, and the Hon.

Mozart Hall has sunk completely out of sight, and Tammany Hall, covered with ivy and redolent of Jackao- nian memories, was celebrating the glorious victory won by the brave Army of the Poto- mac over Jeff. Davis’ best generals and best soldiers. It is most curious and re- markable that the Academy of Music ora- tors had nothing to say about this victory. The burden of their song was Vallandigham, Vallandigham, Vallandigham. They were so enchanted with the melody of this name that they could not find time to mention McClellan, Meade, Sickles, Birney, Reynolds, Hancock, Sedgwick, or any of our other heroes. The most momentous battle of the war was of no in- terest to them. Their hearts were engrossed with the prospect of a triumph in some future election. While they stood maundering about their petty political grievances, the whole coun- try was rejoicing at the intelligence that the rebel invasion had been stayed and the fate of the nation decided. We tell these Liliputian politicians and their friends that they do not comprehend this great historical crisis. All the civil wars of Greece, of Rome, of France, of England, sink into insignificance when compared with this. The tremendous issues involved, ‘the immense forces employed, the generalsbip developed, the results depending upon this war, are of transcendent interest and importance, not only to us, but to the whole world What, then, can we say of the pre- tended statesmen who can ignore a contest like this for the sake of self or party or the nigger? While Europe watches the conflict with anxiety, and the people await the final decision with eager hope, these wirepullers } talk about Vallandigham. They labor hard to { stir up their little mud puddles, unconscious of | the great ocean roaring and surging around j them. They are amused, like children, at the } sound of their puny popguns, squibs and tor- pedoes, and cannot hear the thundering cannon which announce the regeneration of the nation. They squabble, like monkeys, over the posses- sion of their tiny chestnuts, and take no heed of the vital interests of thirty millions of people. Before long they will be swept away with the other dirt and rubbish of the past. All their affected reverence for the constitution cannot save them. This war will place the country In six months, at the farthest, this unhappy rebellion will be brought to a close. We shall then have an account to settle with the govern- ments that have either outraged us by a recog- nition of what they call ‘‘the belligerent rights” of the rebels, or by the active sympathy and aid which they have afforded them. Let France and England beware how they swell up this catalogue of wrongs. By the time specified we shall have unemployed a veteran army of close upon a million of the finest troops in the world, with whom we shall be ina position not only to drive the French out of Mexico and to an- nex Canada, but, by the aid of our powerful navy, even to return the compliment of inter- vention in European affairs. Are the two gov- ernments that profess such a purely humani- tarian interest in our concerns prepared for such a turn of the cards? If not, they would-do well to drop the hypocritical tone of commise- ration in which they continue to speak of our troubles, and abandon all further idea of profit- ing by the misfortunes which they have so eagerly striven to of Mexico. The latest advices from Mexico give us ample confirmation of the occupation of the capital of that republic by the French. General Forey entered the city and took possession of it with- out meeting with the slightest resistance. In fact, he was requested to hasten into it to pre- vent disorders. Once in the city of Mexico, General Forey issued a proclamation to the in- habitants, thanking them for the brilliant recep- tion they had extended to the French forces, and assuring them that he would labor to pro- cure for Mexico peace, order, justice and true liberty. By this string of fine words he means that he will impose upon them a powerful yoke, which will, by force, prevent further dis- orders, and which will so grind the people into the dust that they will lack the courage and power to rise against it. Those inimical to the new rule will find-themselves banished or out- lawed in very short order; their property will be confiscated and the whole country subjected to the most unmitigated despotism. When years of military government have exhausted the people of Mexico and destroyed their means of resistance, then, and not till then. shall we hear of the installation of the monarchical form of government which is to render them so happy and prosperous. We doubt whether there -exiats in history more glaring instance of the abuse of power than this invasion of the Mexican republic by Napoleon. England and Spain—nations not over scrupulous in their dealings with the world—shrank from any association in the plans of the Emperor of the French the moment they became aware of their odious nature. Had this country been at pesce Napoleon would never have dared to prosecute his invasion of Mexico; but, seeing ua involved in the greatest struggle the world ever witnessed, be felonious- ly carrigl out his grand filibustering scheme. The change of government he promises the Mexicans will offer no inducements which can blind them or the world to the great wrong committed in thus taking possession of a coun- try and making it a colony, merely because it was in a distracted state from a series of revo- lutions, and because its natural guardians were for the moment employed in putting down in- ternal troubles. But the plans of the wiliest are often defeated by unforeseen circumstances; and whereas Na- poleon indulged in the belief that the North would never succeed in conquering the rebel- | lious South, and that thus he might steal Mexico | with impunity, he wilt find that we have scattered the rebel forces, and on all sides driven them to the wall. Ere six months have passed over us he will see Richmond and Vicksburg in our power, the armies of Davis defeated and dispersed, and the people of the South re-entering the Union, which shall have acquired all the more power and glory from the fiery ordeal it has passed through. The mo- ment thia has been accomplished the world shall notice the combined forces of the North and the South administering a well deserved lesson to the unprincipled despot of France. If | necessary, two hundred thowsand troops shall chase his legions from jMexico and relieve the people of the incubus of Napoleon's yoke.

It whirled and bobbed about, like a spindle in a Lowell cotton factory, at Framing- ham, Mass., on the Fourth of July, to the amusement of the fanatics, free lovers, Graham- {tes, abolitionists, strong minded women and New England spinsters gathered there. His speech, as usual, was very lengthy and amusing, as Phillips himself. He, however, reminds us of the bell. that was once. raised by the city authorities under.a great flourish. Great pains had been taken in regard to the size and beauty of the bell, with the idea of furnishing the public with something extraordinary. When the time came to place it in the tower a large crowd gathered to see this bell and hear it ring. It was finally arranged, and the entire assemblage waited in breathless suspense to hear its melodious sound. The bell-sweyed back ang forth, the clapper struck its sides, but to the astonishment of the listeners there was no ring to the bell—it was badly” cracked. So it is with Wendell Phillips. With all his preparation, grand flourish and glib tongue, there is evidently a crack in his head. ‘ Like the insane man who arranged a number of crazy men in:a line before a visitor, explaining what eachsone was insane upon and the treatment needed for his recovery. On thanking him for the information thus imparted, the guest suddenly asked who he was. “ Who am 1?” responded the man. “ Why, I am Khan of Tartary”—thus declaring bimself the craziest of them all. Thus it is with Phillips. He evi- dently needs some quiet place, and the applica- tion of cooling lotions to his head, and careful diet. Gerrit Smith was once badly afflicted; but he has taken to reading the Hxraup exclu- sively, and has now not only come out with a sound brain, but is a sound patriot. But Wendell Phillips, in his amusing speech at Framingham, has told us a great many things. He told us all about the mysterious Conway, the emancipation peace man now in England. He informed us that Butler is to be the radical and McClellan the peace candidate for the next Presidency, and that the Washing- ton managers of the war are arranging their cards to run President Lincoln as a compro- mise candidate between them. He told us the direction that General Hooker’s fighting qualities lead him; that Halleck has but one quality, that of “hate of McClellan, to recom- mend him;” that “Banks has outdone himself;” Grant “has done justice to his record,” and that “Rosecrans will move and conquer the moment Washington unties his hands.” He praised General Meade; denounced the President for not arming one hundred thousand instead of thirty thousand negroes; ventilated Postmaster General Blair's New Hampshire speech; said, as usual, a great deal about the negro, negrophobia; opposed cole- nization, and closed his speech by showing that the creed of the abolition church is here after to be “amalgamation.” To this fact he called the special attention of the New Yor Herat, evidently anxious that we should pub- lish it. We therefore, for his gratification, and for the amusement of our readers and the rest of mankind, make room for it in to-day’s issue. Wendell Phillips is certainly an amusing man, and we advise our readers, now that the Opera and the theatres are closed, to select some cool place in the shade, read Phillips’ very curious speech, and laugh and grow fat. Phillips, it seems, has no love for some of our generals or the Cabinet at Washington, and sails in right and left, like # bull in a chins shop. He tells us many secrets, and gives the scheme of the anti-abolitioa portion of the republican party a general siring, and then declares that we all have got to come under the new aboli- tion creed of intermarrying of races, black and white. This is the paradise, the great mil- lennium that this apostle of the abolitionists has now prepared for us. Whata magnificent future awaits our posterity! Sinoe President Lincoln hag not fully dis- charged his duty and long since sbut up in the same prison such crazy men as Greeley, Ben Wood, and that class of radicals, on both si and thus relieved the country of all su nuisances, it is well that we are to bave a new administration soon. One of the first duties of the new administration, when it comes into power, is to select some eligible site on some of the mountains near our battle flelds, and there erect a monster asylum for our crazy politicians, where they can receive the treatment that their several peculiar diseases need to restore them te sanity. This measure is essential, and demand- ed asa safety to the public and peace of the country. Without it another wrangle will com- mence, and we shall be again plunged into s war Abolition by the public ravings of the insane politicians.” Then the Greeleys, the Phillipses, the Sumners, the Woods, the Vallandighams, the Davises, the Yanceys and their class will all be provided with the necessary treatment to restore them. Relievod of their ravings and wrangles, peace, happiness, prosperity and brotherly love will then characterize the whole country, and our nation march on to greatness with more rapid strides than ever before.
