ADVERTISEMENTS FOR THE COUNTRY. Advertisements for the Weskry Henao must be hand- «din before ten o'clock every Wednesday evening its circulation among the enterprising mechanics, farmors, merchants, manufacturers and gentiemeu throughout the country is increasing very rapidiy. Adyertisernents in- forted in the Werxiy Huraty will thus be seon by a large portion of the active aud energetic people of the United States. THE SITUATION. No fight has taken place, or is likely to occur, in Virginia, the rumors circulated in Washington yes- terday to the contrary notwithstanding. Skirmish- ing, however, continues as usual. Heavy cannon- ading was heard yesterday between Bealton Sta- tion and Stafford Court House. On Monday night @ supply train, consisting of twenty or thirty ‘wagons, is said to have been attacked and captur- ed or destroyed by the rebels between Warrenton and New Baltimore, on the Gainesville road. Yes- terday cvening, at four o’clock, party of the re- bels came within fourteen miles of Alexandria and ‘within half a mile of Burke’s Station, and carried eff some thirty mules and the wagon master. Ap- proaching towards the guard, however, which was stronger than they calculated upon, they were met with 8 fire of musketry, under which they deemed it prudent to retire. News from the Southwest to-day is interesting. According to a despatch from Knoxville General Wolford had an engagement with the rebels on the %th and routed them, but while losing his wagon train he retook his battery, which was previously captured by the enemy. The fight lasted fonr hours. The rebels umbered five thousand, and they lost in the ac- tion over three hundred in killed, wounded and Prisoners. Our loss is also set down at three hundred, General Sanders pushed the rebels be- yond Philadelphia, keeping up @ running fight ‘antil dark. The expedition of General Crawford into Virginia aud North Carolina to atstAbute arma appears to have been very successful, the people exhibiting a disposition to support the Union pretty generally. General Osterhaas, who was in the advance ofa ement of our troops from Corinth, bad a con- test with the rebel cavalry under Generals Lee and Forrest, near Cherokee Station, eighty-aine milos from Tuscumbia, on the 3ist. The fight lasted an hour, when the rebels were driven back with heavy loss. A despatch received at headquarters in St. Louis yesterday representa that all of Joo Shelby’s furoe had been driven beyond the boundary of Missoari, and that General McNeil had crossed the Boston Mountains in pursuit of the fleeing rebels. RUROPEAN NEWS. The latest Buropean news, dated to the 18th instant, by the Canada, off Cape Race, is publish- od in the Henaton to-day. Henry Ward Beecher had addressed « large Sudtence in Liverpool, in support of the abolition- ist view of the war, He was vory violently inter- fapted by rebel agents and rebel aympathizers, vut carried out his polot of niaking himself heard. Mr. Beeoher recommended an alliance between Eogiand and the United States, to enable both countries to withstand the shock which may ene from the threatening complications which, in his opinion, cow exist. Colonel Lamar, of the rebel army, delivered a @peoch at an agricultural banquet in England in favor of the Davis confederacy. Mr. Bercsford Hope, M. P., made @ speech ro- iterating his extreme opinions in favor of the Davis confederacy. Mr, Ronndell Palmer, Attorney General of Eng- fand, stated, ina speech, that Great Britain could fot rocognize the rebel States until they had first gained their “independence.” Her course in the meagtime would be one of neutrality, The Attor- ony oebeesl intimated that the rebel ram question would be fully tested in the law courts of Bngland, Mr. Mason, the rebel ex-Minister to England, had returned from Paris to London on business connected with the seizure of the Saird iron rams by the Palmerston government. Napoleon had appointed an early day for the reception of the Mexican throne giving deputa- ‘ion, The members would all sail for Mexice 4oon afterwards.

Rassia had commenced the work of the googra- phical obliteration of the kingdom of Poland, an imperiai decree ordering the incorporatton of two whole districts of that country with the Russian empire. . The Poles had applied to the Sultan of Turkey for recognition as belligerents. ‘The Czar had notified the Sultan that such recognition will be taken as a declaration of war against Rusdia. The English Cabinet had postponed its decision as to the recogn'(ion of Poland as a belligerent. India was greatly agitated. It is reported tha the Punjaub had been invaded by the sons of Dost Mahomed, at the head of seven thousand men, This was regarded 6 merely the vanguard of a large force. British troops had been marched againat them, Great exertions were being made by the Eng- lish authorities in Australia and New Zealand for adecisive battle with the Maoria, of New Zealand, The war was very bitter, and ia now termed “a war of races."’ On the 17th inat., the latest date, the Liverpool cotton market was still buoyant, and holders de- manded an advance. Breadatuffs were quiet and steady, and provisions steady, but dull, on the same day. Money was in active demand in London on the 16th inst.; but the rates were unchanged. Con- sols closed on the 17th inst, at 93 a 93% for money. The steamship City of Cork passed Cape Race on Monday on her voyage to New York, the I%:- mascus passed Father Point yesterday on her way to Quebec, and the New York reached this port from Southampton last night. The news and newspaper files by these vessels have been antici- pated. Mr. Grau, accompanied by an Italian opera troupe, lunded from the New York. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. Alarge and influential Union mass meeting was held last evening in the Brooklyn Academy of Mu- sic, at which speeches were made by John W. Forney, ex-Governor Pierpont, of West Virginia; 8. B, Chittenden and Commodore Meade, and songs sung by the Glee Club of the sailors of the receiving ship North Carolina. A report is given in our columns to-day. A mass meeting of the representative democ- racy was held at the Cooper Institute last The speech of the evening was that of General Cochrane. The proceedings were very interesting, and may be reviewed hy reference to other parta of our paper. ‘ A prize fight for one thousand dollars, between Con. Fitzgerald and Fd. Wilson, took place yea- terday, at Fort Penn, Delaware, and resulted in the defeat of Wilson. Ten rounds were fought, occupying sixteen minutes. This affair being over, Con. Orem and Patsey Marley went in, and fought for morc than two hours, the contest being evidently in favor of the latter; but the ight was broken off by the appearauce of the military, who, under orders of General Schoepf, arrested the whole party. A foll report is given in another part of to-day’a paper. The case of Morris T. Gudeman against Gene- ral Wool, for false tmprisonment in Fort Lafay- ette—precisely the same as that in which Mr. Sec- retary Seward waa concerned as defendaut atthe suit of Col. Jones—was called up before Judge Ingraham yesterday, andthe matter sent before the general term, pro forma, to abide the wane decision as that which may be awaréed in the case of Mr. Seward. In the Surrogate’s Court yesterday, the Surro- gate decided to admit to probate the euntested will of Abraham Crocheron. The accounts of the estates of Robert N. Moran and Alexander Gordoa were actticd and tke assets distributed. The Christy will case took up the remainder of the day. The English sloop of war Vesavina is in the dry dock at the Boston Navy Yard, repairing damages sustained by @ collision with the ship Joseph Holmes, while conveying the steagship Africa's mails from St. Johns, N.

The connection between the two events may not strike the un- thinking mind at the first blush, and yet the | one is the immediate result of the other. How? Nothing plainer. The three hundred thousand new troops must have three hundred thousand full suite of unfform. This necessitates an im- mense consumption of material; and the mate- | tial most in vogue with our army con(ractors is shoddy. Shoddy is made of old rage, felled into the appearance of cloth; and itis the de- mand thus created for old rags that sends np their price iu the market, and consequently in- creases the price of paper The contractors have only to go to the banks, borrow money on (he strength of their contracts, and sweep in ail the old rags into their shoddy manufacto- ‘The papermakere find great difficulty in procuring an adequate eupply of rags, and havé to pay a largely enbanced price for them. Hence the incteased price of printing paper. This demonstrates the close connection be- tween the new levy of troops and the rise ia the price of paper.

President, but will have nothing to do with the radicals, and he calls the radicals the adminis- tration party, when it is notorious that the ad- ministration has had to spend about half its time in rebuking and disowning this pestilent faction. For further information upon this sub- ject see President Lincoln’s Jetters te Fremont, Phelps, Hunter, Greeley, Grant, the Missouri delegation and General Schofield. Last year the issue between the conserva- tives and the radicals was submitted to the people at the polls, and in every instance the radicals were badly beaten. Surely poor Gree- iey cannot have forgotten the fate of General Wadsworth, the radical candidate for Governor of this State. The republican party hss evidently learned something from these decided defeats; for the radicals are now thrown overboard alto- gether, and such men as Curtin, whom the r.- dicals most foully abused, and Brough, who is a life-long democrat, have been the conserva- tive republican candidates, and have been elected by conservative votes. This good work we desire to see followed up and completed in the next Congress. There is no doubt that if Frank Blair were elected President Lincoln would regard him as anything but an opponent of the administration. On the contrary, the President has within a few days past emphati- cally endorsed Mr. Blair’s sentiments in regard to the radicals of Missouri and Kansas, and this blow at the boastful and bloodthirsty jay- hawkers is, in all probability, but the first of a series which Honest Old Abe intends to bestow upon that faction in the republican party which has given him quite as much trouble as the rebels, and which, if it had succeeded in its designs, would have done tbe country far more injury than Jeff. Davis and all his hosts could possibly inflict upon us in the course of a twenty years’ wary It only remains for the conservatives in the next Congress to unite in support of General Blair, and his election to the Speakersbip will be a certainty. The extraneous questions of the theory of the war, or the righteousness of wars generally, or the petty prejudices of par- tisan cliques, should not be allowed to prevent this consummation, since-nothing else can pre- vent it. The radicals will, of eourse, oppose Mr. Blair, taking their oue from the malignant Tribune. This ought to be the only opposition he will have to encounter, and, it ao, it will benefit rather than harm him. The administra- tion republicans should vote for bim, because he isa steadfast supporter of the administra- tion, and because his brother is one of the chosen advisers of the Prosident. The conserva- tive republicans should vote for him, because he is one of them, and has been their champion in the West. The border State members stould vase for Lim, because he comes from a border State, and bis interests are therefore identical with their own. The conservative democrats should vote for bim, because his defeat would be the triumph of the bitterest enemies of de- mocracy, and because expediency teaches us to do the best we can when we are not able to do just what we wish. The peace democrats should vote tor him, because they cannot possibly elect one of their own kind and kin, and must take their choice between Mr. Blair and an ultra radical. If all these members do their duty, tlerefore, the conservatives wil! easily wipe out the Trivune’s “administration majority of three,” and elect Mr. Blatr by double of threefold the Western “ conservative majority of nine.” Tue Herato CoRREsPonpEN® MILES AnovE Lonpoy.—It is not often that we speak of our | achievements aad enterprise, er of our many daring and enterprising correspondents.

Glad ‘The Next Speskership—A Conservative In ® recent article upon the next Congress, poor Greeley, of the Tribune, Sgured up an ad- ministration majority of three. The Western papers, which are muoh better informed than the Tribune, show clearly the absurdity of poor Greeley’s arithmetic, and demonstrate that the conservative members will have a majority of nine over the radicals. This is quite sufficient to elect a conservative Speaker; and if auch a man as General Frank Blair, of Missouri, be the conservative candidate, this majority may be more than doubled; for Mr. Blair’s personal popularity, bis powerful family and his un- merous and influential friends will be added to This fact alone ought to settle the question of Mr. Blair's nomi- The Western papers follow the example of the Hxraup, and classify the next Congress much more sensibly and correctly than the Poor Greeley’s classification divides the members among the administration party and the opposition. Thiais one.of those stupid, old fogy blunders wich prove ‘the Tribune to be bebind the age. Tho proper classification is, the radicals on the one side and tha conserva- tives on the other, Many of the conservatives will support the administration. Indeed, the conservative party and the conservative papers have always supported the administration in the prosecution of the war much more cor- dially, heaftily, consistently and effectually The support of the radi- cals bas generally been seen in attempts to dic- tate and domineer. They have earnestly sup- ported the nigger, not the administration. The silly blunder of poor Groeley’s classification is therefore apparent. He includes in the oppo- sition many members who will stand by the gotach and Mr. Rowe completed the party. They rose over a mile; saw London in minia- ture; toasted the Queen, the United States and the New Yona Hxraxp; and, for the first time, the American flag was waved over the capital of England. Long may it wave. President Lincolm and His Peace Nego- « oe There ia some danger that President Lincoln will become tho king of the copperheads. While preparing for a vigorous prosecution of the war, he is vigorously engaged, in a quiet way. in taking his soundings for peace. The agents employed in this political coast survey may be stigmatized as outsiders and ad- vouturers. But what does that signify? A tin peddier, a vender of razor strops, a camp fol- lower, @ horse doctor, a chiropodist, an ugly gipsy or @ beautiful woman may have facili- ties for the business in hand beyond the reach of our greatest generals, our wisest statesmen and our sbrewdest politicians. Nor does it follow that all these peace agents will fail because Chase Barvey was humbugged. at Richmond by Judah P. Benjamin, or because Wesley Greene, after worming himself into the confidence of our Cabinet as a bona fide peace missionary, wormed himself into # penitentiary as aswindler. On the contrary, where there is so much amoke there must be some fire. We have, in fact, so many reports frém so many sources, and so many different places, of the rapid in- crease of peace men, peace plots and peace movements throughout the South, that the time has arrived to work among them and turn them to, good account. This is what President Lin- coln is doing. His agents are out. They may appear like crows and ravens; but they are the doves of peace. In their various disguises they age sounding the temper of the rebel rulers at Richmond, the rebel armies in the field, and the various classes of the Southern people, from the impoverished cotton planter to the starving sandhiller. The “confederacy” is hard up. Jeff. Davis and big ruling junta would cave fn if insured against the hangman. Dr. Zacharie, the corn cutter, who has been a close observer of the heads as well as the toes of men, in his late expedition to New Orleans, is of the opinion that the rebel chiefs would jump at the offer of a passage “to Mexico and a‘fair chance at the French usurpation in that quarter. We are assured that this idea has been accepted as something more than a joke by Honest Old'Abe. And why not? He is master of the situation. He is backed by the people. He can take his own course. Nor should we be surprised at all with the appear- ance, some fine frosty morning, of a proclama- tion from the White House of an amnesty to the people of the rebellions States, with the condition of the departure of Jeff. Davis, his Cabinet, Congress, army, camp followers and Confederate scrip for Mexico. An exodus of that sort would not only settle all our troubles at once, but it would give to Davis & Co.a splendid confederacy, from the Rio Grande to Nicaragua, perhaps to Panama, and the firm alllance of the United States. The republican radicals are all at sea. They koow nothing of the purposes of President Lincoln. The stump speeches of Secretary Chase amount to nothing, except upon the “greenbacks,” when hé speaks by the book. Nor can we say that Mr. Seward has the confi- dence of “Uncle Abe” in his future projects. Our Premier’s voluminous diplomatic corres- pondence, which has mightily bothered Louis Napoleon and Lord Palmerston to read or to comprehend, is glory enough for any man in these degenerate days. Mr. Seward can stand aside. As for the Secretary of War, having killed off more generals than the first Napoleon, and being altogether a fighting man, he is not the man for a great peace movement. The Cabinet, in a word, upon this question, are nothing; the President is everything. We have said that bis agents are all abroad in Dixie; and we doubt not that they are collecting an over- whelming mass of facts, figures, statistics and testimony in behalf of some such peace pro- gramme as that of Dr. Zacharie. Is not this plan of the removal of Jeff. Davis and the rebel armies to Mexico infinitely better than that of their extermination? That Mexi- co in some way is involved in these peace ex- plorations, eet on foot by, and with the advice and consent of, President Lincoln, we seriously believe. He may be counting upon a treaty of peace, on a liberal amnesty, and on the basis of the old Union, and upon the fusion of the Northern and Southera armies for the enforce- ment of the Monroe doctrize on this continent; but that he soon expects a favorable opening for @ peace movement we are well assured. How far the splendid programme of the patri- otic corn doctor, Zacharie, will figure in this movement, time will tell. It is, a3 matters now stand, a most significant fact in favor of peace, that, while. the radicals are revolting against the administration, and the members of the Cabinet, excepting, perhaps, Montgomery Blair, are all in the dark upon the President’s peace policy, we ate promised that this shall be the yest winter in Washington since the glorious days of John Tyler: New Potrticat Orgaymation—Tue Cavocars Next Taorspay Evextxc.—We learn that Pri- vate Miles O'Reilly, Forty-seventh regiment New York Volunteers, has applied for his dis- charge from the army, on medical certificate of disability, and is about to devote himself to o reconsolidation of all the political interests in this city, on the simple basis of the “spoils.” He thinke, by throwing aside all clap-trap of principle or patriotism, and uniting all the now warring elements of the political family in an fmmense Joint-Stock-Consolidated-Grand-Junc- tion-Lobby-League, that the managers on all sides will be enabled to fill their pockets much more readily aod with much less trouble to- themselves. His idea is to take the total as sessed value of sll property, real and personal, on Manhattan Island, a9 bis “ base of opera- tions,’ and to make arrangements for its ab- sorption at the rate of twenty-five per cont per annum by his few political company. Shares will be insued to all existing political interests, on the same strict system that was observed In providing for the stockbolders of the “ Con- solidated Stage Company” in the city rail road legislation at Albany during the lait half do#en years. We learn further that Private O'Reilly, in order to carry. out these views, has issued s caucus citoular calling together all the parties in interest, for the purpose of arranging the detaile and set- tling the apportionment of stock whioh Is ta be De given to each. This caucus meqte at the St. ehor and Coxwelf on one of theve asconsigns, ; Nicholas to-morrow eyealog, ang ite progeed: © + “mem oe and the Hon. Robert J.

Te this Private O'Reilly answers that, when all the taxpayers have been turned out into the streets, full means of activity will still be left to the organization in plots and efforts to cheat each other. “Inside rings” will then have to be formed, having for their object a further “consolidation” of plun- der. He is also sanguine that, with the triumph of the scheme ia this city, politicians all over the State and country may take it up, until finally it shall be placed in a position to dictate one ofits own members or agents for the next Presidency. The proceedings of the caucus will be locked for with interest. The Franco-Austrian Farce. The latest news from Europe throws some additional light upon the Mexican question. We hear that Prince Maximilian was most cious to the deputation of Notables who called upon his Highness to urge the acceptance of the proposed throne in Mexice, He, however, assured the gentlemen in question that he could not assume the imperial dignity held out for his grasp as long as there exists civil war in that country. The people must also cast a unanimous vote in his favor, says the Prince, ere he cav accept; while he thinks it necessary that the Western Powers of Europeshould gua- rantee the tenure of his reign. It fs needless to add that these conditions must have seemed almost a bitter mockery to the Notables, who are perfectly aware that the utopian ideas of the Prince are not to be realized in Mexico. Toadd tothe voxations vf the -deputation, the Emperor of Austria, Francis Joseph, re- fused to receive them when for that purpose they went to Vienna. Now this is a most sig- nificant fact, and one which proves beyond a doubt that Austria is not in favor of the scheme for placing on this throne, which is not yet erected, a prince of the Hapsburg family. In Europe the refusal of Francis Joseph will have a great effect upon the public mind. That it will be extremely difti- cult, nay, impossible, to raise a loan for tho proposed government is now certain; and France, or, more strictly speaking, Napo- leon III., will find that alone he must act in this matter, and that alone he must reap the benefits or suffer the consequences. The whole matter has become a farce, a political muddle of the most ridiculous character, and, as a result, it will vastly lessen the prestige of France. That Napoleon must, to the last, persevere in the invasion of Mexico is no doubt his idea and that of his immediate followers; but the people of France are disgusted with the whole affair, and grumble at it unceasingly. They appre- ciate that at any moment a war may be pre- cipitated between France and the United States, by the former’s violation of the Mouroe doc- trine; and this the French people would greatly deprecate. They are not our enemies, but our friends, and must be annoyed at the course pursued by their Emperor. Iona few months, at farthest, we shall Have conquered a peace—the South could not now recover from a defeat—and then we shall be at Mberty to turn the united forces of North and South against the invaders ef this continent. Then we shall teach Europe that the Monroe doctrine is one entitled to profound respect; that its infringement entails defeat and disgrace; and, while giving this lesson, we shall take the opportunity to make it all the more sensibly felt by driving from our neighborheod all Euro- pean Powers. Cuba we shall dake from Spain, Canada from England, while in Mexico we shall soe that the people are allowed to settle upon some form of permanent government. To ac- complish all this we shall have a million of tried troops, and such @ fleet of iron-clad vee tels-of-war as the “world never before wit- nessed. That grimmest of all farceurs, Napo- leon the Third, should’ponder over these things, and take the advice we have so often given him: leave Mexico, and avoid utter ruin. If you do not, yourself and your dynasty must 1. five might suggest a still more expeditious way of settling the Moxican question and the rebellion at the same'time. Let the Southern leaders submit to President Lincoln; let the South accept him, and he will accept them. Then the armies now in the South might drive the French from Mexico, and make of that country a great republic, in alliance with the United States. To this new Power we should abandon Cuba and the West India Islands, while we would take care of Canada. Woe think that, in their present condition, the leaders of the South could do no better than accept our suggestion. chines—A Grand Smash Imm! The forced and unwilling nuptials celebrated by the Very Rev. Dean Richmond Wetween the Digger Indians of the Tammany tribe and the peace squaws of Mozart are producing their natu- ralresults. There are bickering and discontent in the house of the friends of the bridegroom, open rebellion and aa attempt to procure speedy divorce on the part of the disgusted bride. Tammany desires to have a ratification meeting, at which vigorous war resolutions should be passed, and vigorous war speeches made. Mozart threatens that if any meet- Ing of the kind be held she will call snother ratification wieeting, at which » platform of the most ultra copper- feaa type shall be put forward, and that this platform shall be accompanied by suitable speeches. Both parties well know that the other is not sincere, though Mozart has been the sincerer and more consistent of the two. It is not many monthe since certain of the Tam- many leaders were clamorous for the election of Va@llandigham in Ohio and Thomas Il. Sey- mour in Cennecticut; and up at Albany last winter they divided their attention about equally between engincering the Broadway Ravirond and “running” the copperhead Aa- senblymen and Senators from this city. | With Mozart the o is different.

To accomplish this there will be all kinds of huckstering, and throat cutting. “Cheating all round” will be the order of the day, aud Mr. Henry Smith will probably draw off so many of the machine Tammany and Mozart votes as to seriously on- danger the prospects of Mr. Walter Rocho, tia regular democratic nominee. Senatore amd As semblymen who are not of the “City Railroad” pattern will be traded off in all directions te secure an incroase of atrongth ¢o the candidates, whether Tammany or machine republican, whe are in thii"interest; and this conduct om the part of Tammany will be reciprocated by the machine republicans, as we already see it done in the Seventh Senatorial district, where a Mr. Runkle or Bunkle is put up in order to draw off enough votes from the war democratic, antl’ City Railroad candidate to elect Mr. Thomas G. Fields, the direct representative of that im terest. This condition’of things opens up a brighf prospect to that insurrectiotfary wing of the democratic party known as the New York Na- tional democracy, having for its leaders and allies, more or lees active, all who are op posed to the dictatien, corruptions, “close eor- porationism” and alliance with the machias republicans of the so-called regular organiza tions. This party is new and fresh from the people. It will absorb all the strength of the “Jeffersonian democrats,” who do not care te be traded off in return for the nomination of one member of thelr body as Senator by Mozart Hall. Its candidates will also receive large help from the more honest and conscientious wing of the republicans, who are opposed to Albany jobbers and lobbyists, and it will likewise be strengthened by immense defections of the rank and file both from Tammany and Mozart, whe can see no salvation for their party or for them: selves unless a vigorous rebuke be given to the insolence and dictatorial sway of the “City Railroad” and “spoils” coalition. Take it for all in all, our next elections will be dreadfully mixed up affairs, and unless present appear: ances prove eminently deceitful the “ma chines” of all parties will be smashed. Generar Rosecrans’ Srzecn.—General Rose crans made a copital speech at Cincinnati. He quietly but effectually refuted the infamous charges which the radicale and their organs have brought against him. He said that since the battle of Chickamauga he had received a letter of approval from the President. We ne- tice that already the radical organs are with, drawing some of their insinuations in regard to his usiag opium and his bad health. This shows which way the wind now blows. ~ Leavine Ecrore Forever.—The Memorial Diplomatique, of Paris, says that Maximilian will “leave Europe forever,” if he goes te Mexico. This word “forever” is significant. Does the Memorial anticipate for Maximiliam’ the fate of Iturbide ? Tur Missourt Muppte Crearep Ur.—We have been bothered for along time with the Missourf muddle. Now the President has cleared it all up satisfactorily. Me retains General Schofield; endorses his policy, and rebukes the radicals, What will Jim Lane and Greeley, and the oihet braggadocio border ruffians, say to this? Musical. THE OPERA. ‘To-night we are to have ‘fl Trovatore” at eur Aendemp of Music. This most popular of Verdi’s operas will ne doubt be admirably sung by the Maretzek troupe.
