Her quota on the fast ail for two hundred thou- sand volunteers is full--filled without re- sort to drafting. This we knew could and would be done if the authorities at Washington would not interfere with our Supervisors’ Vol- unteering Committee. The orders and counter agders from Washingioa—the red tapeism an nouacement of a draft every few days, to be again aad again postponed, only to be renewed, greatly interfered with the steady progress of the commit:ce, and delayed for a few weeks the completion of its work; but the energy of Super- visor Blunt, the chairman, alded as he was by tlie steady co-operation of the balance of the committee, Supervisors Purdy, Stewart and Tweed and Comptroller Breanan, the latter carefully watching over and furnishing the ne- cessary funds, overcame ali obstacles, end to day New York can declare ber fifth quota full— filled, too, by voluntecring, and having fur- nished for thearmyover thirty thousand willing soldiers.

The Operations of Our Armies. We give to-day aome further particulars printed in the postscript to our edition of yes terday—of the battle fought by the Army of the Potomac on Wednesday last. By this short and sharp fight the position of the enemy was effectively developed, and it was miade ap- parent that any attempt to force his lines or carry his position by storm would be very expensive. As General Grant has no fondness for those rash and brilliant battles that waste ten thousand men to do what can be done just if as well in a much quieter and much cheaper teas showy, way, the hard fighting ¢ place to manauvres intended to draw the | enemy out of his chosen defences. These were to a great extent succeesful. General Ewell came out on Thursday evening with his corps, and attempted to tura our right; but the veterans of Birney’s and Ty!er’s divisions { anda portion of Warren's corps promptly re- pulse] him, taking three hundred prisoners and killiag and wounding several of the enemy. : Appearances ou General Butler’s front indi- cate that the enemy have ia progress some im- portant operation. Our news is to the 18th, and indicates that a reconnoissance in force made by General Foster disclosed the fact that nearly the whole force of the enemy was under arms 1, ¢h instant to cover and conceal a very vement of wagon trains. Whether this movement was for Beauregard’s retreat or on the extensive an attempt to supply and provision Richmond could not be made out. We have official information of General Sher- man’s operations in Georgia up to Thursday evening. He had pushed his columa from Kingston on that day to Cassville, and hada skirmish with General Hardee's forcés. The news informs us that a severe fight is anticipated at Atlanta. We are compelled to extract the partioulars ef General Sher- man’s previous movements from the Cincin- nati papers—one of our reporters having been stopped in Louisville on his way to this oity by the operation of the draft, and another, as we learn by a Western despatch, having been killed on the field of battle. The Union victory gained {a Westera Vir- ginia by the forces under Generals Crook and Averill proves to have been a very brilliant one. Our news from that quarter exposes in the most satisfactory manner one of the series of infamous lies that General Lee told his army ia his recent “chaste and beautifal order,” in which he says that our forces had been dispersed by Generals Morgan and Jones. Morgan, Jones and Jenkina were all badly beaten by Crook and Averill. © Guy. Lee's Appress to His Aruy—-Drawing tax Lona Bow.—General Lee, in his address to hia army, which we publizhed yesterday, from the Richmond papers, enumerates a “series of successes” to the rebel arms in various placea, inc!uding the following specifications: — 1. The defeat of General Averill on the Tennessee and Virginia Railroad. 2. The capture of General Steele’s army (which he copies from Northern papers) of nine thousand mea by General Price in Arkansas. 3. The repulse of General Sheridan's cavalry from the fortifications of Richmond. Now, what are the facts regarding these three important rebel successes’ First, instead of being defeated, General Averill was victorious in his object of cutting the Tennessee and Vir- ginia Railroad, handsomely defeating the, rebels that undertook to oppose bim; and next they were met, thoroughly whipped and scattered by General Crook, in the same neighborhood. Secondly, the report of General Steele’s surrender, copied from Northern papers, was copied by them from Southern papers—a regular canard. After the failure of General Banks, with whom Steele was moving to form a junction, the latter fell back to Littie Rock, where he now is with his army, defeating Prive om’ the way. Btecle’s most serious losses were a train of empty wagons. going out for provisions, and the guard attend-. ing the train, with two or three pieces of artillery. In the third place, the cavatry expe- dition of General Sheridan was a complete and important Union success. A rough ride over the Richmond fortifications was no part of bis mission. General Lee is not very boastful of the opé- rations of the army under his immediate com-' mand. Me says, after baving been pushed back twenty miles, with the loss of twelve thousand prisoners and twenty cannon, that ‘the heroic valor of this army bet thus far checked the principal army of the enemy, and inflicted upon it heavy losses,” He could not draw the long, bow in the face of facta to which all his living as were witnesses, He had mo osptures ‘ade before them. He oowld only say that be bad sueveeded thus far in checking the enomythe words “this “far” clearly sig nifying that he was doubiful. about choking his enemy much longer. Lastly, General Lee bas ad¢'a Solitary sytld- ple'to say of the movemunte of his friend Jée Jobnston in Georgia, commanding the second army in numbers and importance of thelt dwinditag confederacy. ,. Perhaps Joe has been, retreating in saoh a barry that “he! fies had 00, ‘time to communicate with Bichmond,. or, pet- {that Spain Miprld obtwin' aif" Idtgy share baps General Lee thinks he may as weil be counted out altogether; and we think so (oo. cease in ita good work.

Thosé who look npon the seizure of the Chincha Islands by Spain as merely a matter of temporary difficulty, and as susceptible of easy arrangement, can be but imperfectly ac- quainted with the history of the last half con- tury. Unerplainable py the ciroumptances which are gaid to have ptovyoked it, it can only be accounted for as part and parcel of that sel- tied polfcy of aggression on the part of the Zu- ropean Powers of whioh the invasion of Mexico and the seiaure of St. Domingo were the initial stops. The colonization of the Southern portion of this continent -by the Latin race has long been a favorite idea with France. Louis Napoleon may claim the credit of it; but it dates further back than bis era of power. Ils threatened execution waa in fact one of the causes that led bo the emunciation of the Monroe doctrine. When, ia 1823, the Due d’Angouleme entered Spain at the heafl of an army of one hundred thousand men, for the purpose of overthrowing the con- stitutional government of that country, it was prearranged that ia the event of success attend- ing the expedition France, in conjunction with the coutinental alliance, would take steps to bring back the Spanish American colonies under European subjection. Mr. Rush, our then Minister at the court of London, took tue alarm, aod had frequent conferences with Mr. Canning on the subject. The latter, though expressing a hope that TVrance was not serious in these projects, thought it desira- ble that’ they should be anticipated by an understanding and concert of action be- tween Great Britain and the United States in regard to the new republics, to be followed by recognition when the ‘preper time arrived. That this step would have the desired effect Mr. Canning believed, from the large share of the maritime power of the world which Great Britain and the United States enjoyed, and the consequent influence which the knowledge of their commoa policy on a question involving such important maritime interests, present and future, could not fail to produce everywhere. In the following August, Mr. Canning having received distinct notification that these designs of the Holy Alliance were to be put in execu- tion, Mr. Rush urged upon him the expedieucy of an immediate and unreserved recognition of the independence of theSouth American States. Our Minister had previously arrived at the de- termination that, in the event of the British Cabinet acceding to his entreaties, he would, Without reference to Washington, notify the Powers in questioa that our goverumeat would not remain ivactive in presence of an attack upon the indepeadence of those States. Diffi- culties having arisen aa to the mode in which joint action upon the subject could be taken by the two governments, Mr. Canning resolved no longer to keep the court of France In igno- rance of his views. He accordingly had seve- ral interviews with Priace Polignac, the result of which was that there was a complete back- {ug down on the part of Frauce. This was fol- lowed, at the close of the same year, by the memorable declaration by President Monroe, in his opening message to. Congress, which bas since been held to be the established policy of this goverameat in relation to foreiga interven- tion ia Americaa affairs, aud soon after by the formal recognition by Great Britain of the in- dependence of the South American States. Notwithstanding the discouragement cast on the project by these events, we find France, uader Louis Philippe, agaia seeking to realize it. The motive of the Spanish marriages bas never beea sufficiently understood. They were intended to fora another link in the chain of infliences by which it was sought to bring the South American States ‘under European, or, more properly speakiag, French, control. In 1844 there appeared in Paris a book on Oregon aad Califoraia, published by order of the Kitg, under the auspices of Marsbal Soult, Presidéut of the Council, and M. Guigot, Ministor of Por- eign Affairs. Its author was a M. de Mofvas, an attache of the French legation ta Mexico, After speaking: of the establishment of « Hue ropean monarchy as the only project calculated to put an end to the divisions and anvibilate the, factions that desolated that beautiful coun: try; and declaring that the Catholic religion and family relations with. the ancient. posses. sors of the country would be the first ‘condi: tions required of the princes who should be ‘called to.reconstruet there © monarchical gov, ernment, M. de Moftad proceeds. to way thal the, Infantas of Spain. the Fretith’ prifces and the archdukes fulfil these conditions. “The first object of France,’ be redds; “should be to se- lect this prince from some branch of the Bour- bon family.” Tw months later we. find M. Guizot, the thea Minister of Foreign Affairs, asserting, formaliy in the Chamber of Pepu- ties the right of Eurepean, intervention in the affairs of this continent: He made on ‘thdt occasion the significant declaration that ‘it betonged to France to protect by the anthority jof her name the independence of the States ‘and the equilibrium of the great political forces in America.” .The object of these aa- sertions le vendered. all the more clear by: @ statement made in thé Spanish Cortes in'1847, by Senor Olozaga of the sums expended atid drawn from the treasury, in Havana th the year’ 1846 ‘for the parpose of establishing » monarchy in Mexico and placing a Spanish ptince on the throne.” If the revolution of 1830 bad not driven the citizen King and bis | family into exile, it ia, clear that. we. should have had France and Spain joiatly attempting the game which has since been played b. ta Napoleon. And let ns here add that, government listened to the enameietese offered by that watchful observer and’ able statesman General Dix, in his speech«in the Senate in Jaausry, 1948, the shrowd trickster who oow occupics the thvdne of France would neve have had an Spportanity of putting ii execation thé plaas of bis protectsdors.” Tt wilt be seen Crom tyeabors facts that this idew'gt oolonitiag the “South: Al Biatos | | with the Latia race if not oriigicral vt Lownie: Napoleon.
