Lee's army is undoubtedly in force between the Rappahannock and Rapidan rivers. He is shid to have been largely reinforced, and is probably moving to his old position near Fredericksburg. The particulars of the cavalry fight at Rap- pahannock Station on Saturday afternoon— which we announced yosterday—are given pretty fully to-day. Buford’s cavalry, supported by a large body of infantry and artillery, crossed the river below the station, principally on pontoon boats, and there met the advance of General A. P. Hill’s forces, including a portion of Stuart’s cavalry. A brisk fight ensued, involving very small lose to our men, after which the cnomy were driven from their position before dark, and our troops bivouacked at night on the south side of the river. The rebels considerably outnumber- ed our men, probably two to one; but our troops fought bravely, the cavalry making several splendid charges. The object of the reconnois- #ance was to discover the strength of the enemy near Culpepper. The disaffection of North Carolina to thé Rich- mond government, so long indicated, has taken a bold phase in the recent declarations of the Stand- ard, the leading paper of Raleigh, the capital. It openly denounces Jeff. Davis as a repudiator, in whom no confidence can be placed, and whose efforts to establish a Southern confederacy will be @ failure. In reply to the Richmond Enquirer, which calls upon Jeff. Davis ‘to suppress the Raleigh Standard and wipe out the Su- Preme Court of North Carolina,” the Stand- ‘ard anys that Governor Vance will stand by the Bupreme Court, and that if Jeff. Davis attempts to ‘ase physical force to suppress the Standard, he will be met with physical force, and a revolution Nn the State will be the result. The Standard also says that North Carolina has furnished ninety-five thousand soldiers for the Canseless war, forty thousand of whom are killed nd wounded; and that she should send a delega- tion to Washington at once, and see what terms can be obtained, and not wait for Jeff. Davis. + There is nothing very new to report from Charleston. Affairs are not materially changed there since our last accounts. Our war corres- pondent’,at that point furnishes the public to-day with the proceedings going on there up to the 30th ult. Some new rebel bat- teries on James’ Island, including several sea coast mortars, are throwing shells over our trenches, but do not interrupt the workmen. Fort ‘Wagner also pours destructive missiles over the (trenches, consisting often of broken bottles and Blassware, crockery, nails, and fragments of cooking utensils, The rebels closed up the em- Drasures on the southern face of Fort Wagner for Gays, and remained silent until the 30th ult., et daylight, when they cleared the embrasures and oveloped thie fact that they had five guns in posi- Yon, two of them being vew ones, from Which they opéned hot fire on our working parties, doing considerable damage to our men.

We have three days jater news from Burope by the arrival yesterday of the America at this port. The intelligence is important in s dou- ble sense, as it relates to the two great ques- tions which now absorb the attention of the world, aad which are likely to affect each other very materially in the next few months of Eu- ropean diplomacy. The details of our victories at Gettysburg, and the newsof the flight of Lee and the capture of Vicksburg, bad reached Englaad, and caused great excitement there. ‘The London journals, who take the interests of the rebels so much to heart, were endeavoring to throw cold water upon our successes, and pronounce the victory at Gettysburg a matter of no importance. They say that the capture of Vicksburg is only a gleam across our dark horizon; but the money market of London gives the lie to these assertions in the most glaring manner. The United States stocks went up seven per cent, and the rebel loan went down four and a half per cent. The money market is the true criterion of public opinion in London; and the sympathizers with the rebels—such as the Times, Post and Herald, of that city—will find it quite impos- sible to conceal from their readers the signifi- cant facts above mentioned. When the addi- tional details of the fall of Port Hudson reach England we shall no doubt find the confidence of the public in the ffnal success of our govern- ment betrayed by a still greater rise of our stocks, and a greater decrease in the value of the rebel loan. There appears to” be very little said about intervention in the face of these advices from the United States. Affairs on the continent of Europe seem to throw a cloud over any interference in our af- fairs for the presént. Austria, France and England seem disposed to make # casus belli out of the Polish question, and they will find this matter trouble enough without botber--| ing with us. The Zeitung of Vienna, the official organ of the Hapsburgs, announces that Aus- tria is not pleased:with the reply of Russia to the notes of the three Cabinets. The Constitu- tionnel of Paris, the semi-official organ of Napo- leon, asserts that France, England and Austria) are examining the replies of Gortschakoff, and that if not satisfied with them they will agree upon a joint settlement of the Polish question. This is of course a threat made to terrify Russin; but ifthat Power is decided, at all risks, to pursue her present policy towards Poland, threats will avail but little with her. The attitude assnmed by the Gzar’s government as regards the Polish question is one which”would go to show that, even at the risk of a war with the three great’ Powers, Russia will act as she pleases in this matter. There are good reasons to suppose that Prussia will side with. Russia in case of a war, and thus a moat formidable and tremen- dous struggle. will take place—one which can but end by a total change of the present aspect of Europe. The Polish imbroglio, therefore, renders any immediate intervention of the European Powers quite impossible on this continent. “But; as it is not out of the question that a settlement may take place, we deem it a matter of the greatest moment that we should be prepared for all emergencies. We must take advantage of the questions which arise in Europe to divert the attention of those who, we know, bear us no good will, to.place ourselves in such a position aa will ward off gitack. We, of course, will not interfere In the troubles which now agitate all Europe; but we -must profit by them and prepare for all afterclaps.

All this was calculated to im- press upon the minds of the piblic that to General Halleck-is due the credit of the cap- ture of Vickeburg. Truth in these historical matters sooner or later becomes known, and | now we have an opportunity of giving the credit. to whom it is due, Admiral Porter, in his report of the affair, which we published yesterday, makes the following assertion :— The tae investment and capture of Vi will be characterized as une of the greater! military ever known.

So ce nfideyt was lof the ability of General Grant to carry out his plabs when he explained them to me that I nover hesitated to change my position from ‘g. The work was hard, the Sighting severe; but the biows struck were constant. The honest sailor thus tears from the War Office the credit it claims for the victories in the Southwest. Our armies at a distance from Washington obtain decisive advantages; the Army of the Potomac is*too near the War Office to accomplish any important practical results. Tuk CLEANLINESS OF THE Crry.—Our report- ers have been examining the condition of the streets, and pronounce them in a most satisfac- tory state. Inspector Boole has done well, and we are happy to announce that he promises to do still, more. He has cleaned the city, and will, he aseerts, keep it so now. The people bon their'side must aid the Inspector in this laudable intention by emptying their garbage and ashes at the proper time, before and not after the hours when the etreets are cleaned. It also depends upon the Croton Aqueduct Board to render practicable Inspector Boole’s determination of making New York the clean- est.city in the world, by attending at once to those streets paved with cobble stones and which are greatly in need of repair. They are full of little ruts, which, when it rains or the streets are washed, hold the water and form pools which stagnate. This should be repaired atonce. Then the city of New York, thanks to the energy of our new Inspector, will be indeed , the cleanest and most healthy city in the universe. Tas Axxtery or Evotayp Eastiy Retieven— The London Times says that “everybody asks how long this weary war is to last in America.” If the English had not furnisbed the rebels the means of carrying on the war it would have been flitshed long ago. The only way for John Ball to get cotton and commerce out of the United States is to let que domestic alfeirs alone, tery schemes for increasing the circulation of the Tribune. A new counter, a few new panes of glass and a beavy bill for damages against the city are bis only gains. We are almost convinced, therefore, that when poor Greeley comes to think the matter over he will candid- ly acknowledge that exciting a riot docs not pay, and that he will resolve to try to become @ peaceful, law abiding citizen for the remain- der of his days. The worst of it is that the Tribune philoso- pher has not even acquired a reputation for or- dinary bravery by his participation in the late exciting scenes. In vain he now talks of oon- cealed riflemen and hand grenades and cannon, and threatens what he would have done if the rioters had only attacked bis office again. This. playing Bombastes Furioso after the fighting is over excites more ridicule than admiration. It reminds us of rare Jack Falstaff, who took to his heels at Gadshill and counterfeited death at Shrewsbury, but was always ready to brag tremendously _ when his foes were dead or put to flight. Kindly dis- posed as we are towards poor Greeley, wo feel bound to say that his donghty deeds and heroic exploits will never farnish themes for the poet and historian, or subjects for the sculptor and the painter. On the first day of the riots he took refuge in a restaurant, and Dame Rumor reports that he there concealed himself in a refrige- rator. If this be true, it is a singular instance of, the power of fear; for poor Greeley isso Ttigid a vegetarian that no one would have thought him capable of getting into a meatbox, even to save his life. When the riot had some- what subsided, and poor Greeley deemed. it prudent to emerge from his hiding place, he proceeded to disguise himself by pulling his trowsers out of his boots, washing his face and hands, and adjusting his white hat jauntily on one side of his head. These slight alterations in his personal appearance disguised him s0 ef- fectually that his best friends did not know him, and it was with some difficulty that the persons who came to take him away ins car- riage could be induced to believe that the com- paratively respectable looking'individual before them was really Horace Greeley. It was only when he produced a leading editorial, hastily Written upon the back of a greasy bill of fare, that. his friends admitted bis identity and con- sented to convey him to Jersey City for safety. The events of the past few days very clearly indicate not only that the radicals have gained nothing by the riots, but that they havesunk even lowér than ever in the opinions of all’ good Citizens. It fs the natural and legitimate effect of such outbreaks to ruin the parties who insti- gate them. The abolitionists, with Garrison at their head and. Greeley at. their tail, gloried largely in the Fugitive Slave law a few years ago; but with the experiences of the past three years before them no sensible politicians | will concede that the abolition party has been benefited by these riots, The Know Nothing party once to get up a few antiCa- tholic riots; but where is the Know Nothing pérty now? 4 Tn-1861 the radicals led the riots in this city and elsewhere to put down certain dewspspers, and poor Greeley, encouraging. thismob jn the hope of helping tbe Tribune, called the out- break ‘a patriotic uprising of the people.” But before two years had this clty gard a much larger conservative majority’ than usual, and poor Greeley discovered that his course in regard to this affair bad greatly injured. his paper.and strengthened the very journals he had intended to suppress. During the disturb- ances a few weeks ago the radicals oxulted in the idea that, because there were Irishmen in the mob, the party to which most Irishmen be- long would be assuredly destroyed; but the Official exposure and condemnation of the radi- cals and their intrigues by the veteran General Wool,and by General Sandford gave the public sentiment an unexpected turn, and the radicals were hoist by their own petsrd, like unskilful engineers. So sudden and offectual a Nemesia deserves to be put upon record; and, as the radical party grows weaker and the conserva- tive party stronger with every victory of the Union armies and every sign of the failing for- tunes of the rebels, we are encouraged to hope that the end of the war will be the. end of the abolition faction, and that, in spite of every trick of proclamation mongers and Cabinet con- spirators, both the Northern saad Southera fana- tics will be obliged to ground arms at the same time, and keep step henceforward to the music of the Union. How rue Resets Keer Tux Panoes.—In se- veral of our late engagements with the rebela we have captured soldiers who had been paroled and not as yet exchanged. These fellows had gone back into the ranks of the rebei urmies without even changing their names or thenum- bers of theit regiments. It is clearly the duty of our government to look into this affair, and in every such case an example should be made such as will deter this disloyal conduct on the part of therebels. It is evident that the pri- soners we take must be held if they pay no re- gard to paroles. We cannot allow such bare- faced violation of all the rules of war and honor, + Dut (ow, comparatively, visited the Park.
