IxTERNATIONAL Horr, WNiaGara Faris, August 17, 1864. I beve alrendy informed you Dy telegraph that im- Poriacut moversents are in progress here. The failare of the representatives from Rebeldom to accomplish any- Bing through Lincoln and Greeley in the way of pro- ‘Posing ierms did not end tho operations of the band of Boutberuers in Canada, In drawing out of Lincolu his sitimaium, coniatwed in the ‘‘to all whom it may con. @ern’’ lotier brought here by Major Hay, they secured Suflicient capital to work upon the Chicago Convention with success, It secured to them a base for their opera- ‘tions in that direction, and awaxened the public mind to ‘She rou) condition of affuirs in such @ manner as to draw Prominent mea throughout the North to vbis point who, prior to tas, could wot be induced to oome under any It is not improbable that this was all Soa: the rebel commissioners intended when they com- Mmenced their negotiations with Greeley, If so, they succeeded even beyoud any bupe that they might have @utertained. Une thiog is certaiu: that both Clay and Holcombe, when they came here, were bitter pérsonal ewemies of Sanders, and were hardly upon speaking ferms with them When Sanders proposed the plan of pening vegotiatione with Lincoln through Greeley he was ljaughed at and calied crazy. But Sanders @nally ob:aiued consent of them to try and see what ould be done, and immediately commenced angling for Greeley, Chevalier Jewett was the hook which he used to catoh Grvetey with, baiied with proposed peace propo gious. Jewett was uzed in the absence of better mate- mals, He made three special trips to New York before succeeded in bringing Greeley to the Falls, The suc- eeas which iuis programme met, and tn its arawing Lin- oln into atrap, thoroughly committing himself, while the otuer side remained uncommitted, saye that they ‘were ready to open negotiatioas for a sottiement, so ratified both Clay and Holcombe that Sanders has ever Since been taken icto their confidence, avd instead of there being any personl animosity between tnem they ‘ere as corital and confiding as twin brothers. This fact Bot only proves that the success of the movement was far beyond their expectations, but also that a trap was wet for Lincoln, acd, turough the advice of Stanton or @ome other impracticable mao in the Cabinet, Old Abe was nicely caught. If Clay, Hviccmbe and Company were Mot sincere in their movements for peace and reunion, it ‘would have been the easiest thing in the world for Old @ve, if he had bad any shrewdness or statesmanlike @bility, to have caught the rebel ambassadors in their own trap, avd made them appear so ridiculous before the world wat they would have been despized by every frievd of the Union ia the North. But Old Abo, in bungling with this golden opportunity, not only was caught 1a’ the trap himself, but tailed to elicit Proof whether these gentlemen wore for peaco, based @o the constitution and integrity of the Union, or only or ‘the recoguition and independence of the South. Tbe doub: and uncertainty which existed on this point @t the close of the correspondence with Lincoln caused @ rush of Jeadiog democrats to the Clifton House © ascertain the reai position of the rebel agents. Among other politicians Dean Richmond made his appear- nce, and had a lengthy interview at the Clifton House, ‘The representatives from Rebeldom commenced their Palaver over Richmond, who, in bis usual abrapt wey, Stopped them by asking, “You want peace, do you”? The wepiy being in the affirmative, Richmond said, “How do ou expect to get it? What wili the people of the South @o to secure peace?’’ The views of the leading mex of the South were then narrated to Dean, the true position of affairs gone over, avd then a statement made as to what tbe commissioners here believed they could sccure an endorsement of by the authorities at Richmond. Wbat the specified statement to Richmond was J huve nut becu . Abie ty ascertain.

Tebel representatives 10 Connca epevly assert that if an armistice for six months is proclaimed they will guarant will be no renewal of the fighting: that it can be settled, But néditton to that they seem to ounailer that, under Lincoln, a recognition of the South ‘must come first, and « reorganization and reunion of the States, under a modified form of the constitution, after- words. Now as to the straggle between the tine of policy of ‘the rebol embassadors in Europe and those here, The rebel authoriiies Bave becn laborivg, through their agente in Furope, ever since the oommonerment of the Tebeliion to secure the reeogoftion of the Southern con- federacy by the teading Powers of Eurepe. But tney have bec constantly put off, dolayed, prémises now and then held out, sod then delayed, and iu many instances suubbed, ‘hie bas caused an iii feeling on the part of a ‘of the South to both Exglend and Fravoe, avd has caused @ strong feeling to spring up for adjustment by the people of the two sections of the country. There is, Dowever, €n_ imp rtant elass which still adheres to re coguiticn by Epglaod and France, who still boida iriendly feeling te that section on account of assistance in run- ning the blockade and fitttog out privateers. Mason and Sliéell represent that civss But the rebel representa- tives bere are indi that Mason showtt play the flupky around Palmersten, and ask simply ter recogni- tion. They declare that armed intervention is the only suing that will be acce;ted irom that quarter now They also state that tbe Buropean Powers ‘havo, by their ‘course, manifested a disposition to see the American peo} le fight between themselves, and -destroy their in- mee a8 & powerful and thus weaken them. selves so much Wet they will not be able for years to wield apy considerable jofluence in the destiny of the na- \ions of the earth The consequence ts tuat they, in con- nection with vast numbers ia the South, are now deter- mined. if possibie, to settie our difficulties, m convection with the conservative’ peomle of the North,and are now endeavoring to brieg that about through the democracy aud the Chicago Convention, In view of all this they urge the cessation of Rostili- ties by an armisiico,an amicable adjustment through a convention of States, or some other form, and the tor. mation of a coviederacy, ocean bound, or at least an alli- ance, defensive, of ait ike republics op this coutivent, in- luding not only the North and <outb, but Mexico, Cuba and Canada, sufficiently powerful to fully and in all par- tioulars enforce the Monroe doctrine. and forever prevent any European interference with aifuirson this continent, Whether all these governments are combined under one government or uot, they favor an alliancé which shal secure (he management of all purely by American ideas, principles and forms of government, withovt resard to or molestation by any Eur >pean Power, Ail that they ask the Chicago Convention to do now is to adopt the platform gtven in the tore part of this letter. In stating that there is a covtest in the South between this policy and tuat of recogniticn by European Powers, Ido not wish to be understood that there are any organ ized parties, but simply tbat the pubic men of the South are divided in their views on the subject, and are await ing developments to see which shall prove the most available. A great deal depends upon the success which Clay, Holeombe & Co,, who are committed to the Ameri can policy, meet with in overtures to the'democracy and ihe conservative men of the North. Should they fail, ail will fall back-vpon negotiation with Europe. There is, however, uo denying the fact that the movements and operations °f parties bere will stir up the Furopean states- men, and may induce them to immediate recognition or At least before election, in the event of seeing any pfos- pects of success of the American alliance, in orcer to bead it olf and eanble Napoteon to ' hold his grip upon Mexico, the Spaniards to retain the golden apple of Cuba, and the british Canada. It is there- fore a two edged sword, cutting both wave, and the po- hicy muy have been adupted for the puryse of frighten- ing Napoleoa apd the goverument of Fnelund into imme- diate action, The action of the Engtish and the com- nents of the London press upon the negotiations with Lincoin avd Greeley are looked for with great interest here. Proniivent officials connected with the Canadian government decisre their belie! that both France wil, upon the reception of that new: diate steps leading towards recognition. he the take imme- low correet they are in divin ng the course of the home government I will leave for time to develop. With the above facts before us no person can doubt but that we have reached the most important point in our national atfiirs that Lns arisen since tbe adoption of the Declaration of Independence, the solution of which will decide vot only the future destiny of America, but that 0: ali other nations of theeartb. The guestion is, shall the crowned heads of Europe obtain full control and sway here by an alliance witb the Southern confederacy, or shall Americans settle their own troubles and secure to America the future which her climate, her soii, vast wealth and people entitle her 0? Let the radiceis and negro worshippers, the advocates of complete abolishment of slavery by wer, consider and decide, Let the advocutes of emancipation by the bayo- net and promulgators of the doctrine 0: miscagenation for once drop their ism, avd ponder over tho mighty ques tinns at stake, and decide whether it is better that a few Dlacks shail remain a littie longer $6 slavery, or that the grasp of kings and oppression to millions of whites may be more firmiy clinched in Eurore and extend over to America,{orever creating a class—the poor laboring man— held beveath the power of cymtal, ‘The question in- yolved is not whoily that of the slave, buz. in other words, @ etrugele between democracy aud aristocracy the world over. Let the Europeau Powers turn to the assist ance of the South, and France retain her grasp up: i European influence wi!l soon mould, to a gres , Our institutions, apd, es @ pation, we shal! be more or leas uuder their control. fortunately we have fatlon upon the days of small men—a most unfortunnte tme to imett 80 important an issue. We are in « perfod parallel with thet cf the Roman empire when the public men and pretenders sovght for nothing but personal gain and plavder, But the question now ig, shail we profit by the history of that once poweriul empire. and seize upon this opportunity to retrieve all, or re ect the le: o history, and, like the Romap empire ‘ail indo chave, dissolution aud ruin, the prey of evil men and of ali ovuer nations of the eartn? Wat say Mr.Lincoin and his imbecile one borse and twopeuny Cabinet? What say the delegates to the Chicago Convention? Oh, fora Webster or a Clay to take the hein of the ship of State and guice it eutely through the rrcks and quicksands that now beset it, There have Leen numere statements sent by mailand otherwise by some eccentric characters about propositions on foot in referonce to the (hicugo Convention, in they have associated names oi certain parties in Cacada as their autbority, which are certainly as amusing as they are visiouary and unreliable. In regard to the org m of belligerent characters snd vigilance com- mittees at Chicago, the etatements und trash that have been published are wide of the mark and (00 nonsensical to rotice. It is evident, however, that steps will be taken at Chicsgo, or soon after, to sucoeasiully resist all attempts on the part of the ddministration to use force at tke polls on elce- tion day throoghout the North, and a'so to prevent the adoption of arbitrary or other measures on the part of Old Abe, or bis Cubi et, to prevent a full and impartial vote being potled, or to intimidate men «nd prevent their voting. To that extevt, and no other. is avy movement now intended, As a matter of oovrse it is impossible to tell what tbe evente and excitement of the canvass will Dring up as it progresses. There was quite a sensation at the Clifton House on last Sundvy eveping. ibe Rev. Mr. Carroll, of New Haven, Connect cut, made a fepsation prayer in favor of peace, producing quite a commotion, and is raid to have caured a number of the Southerners to weep and shed tears profusely, sanders bas not loft hore, ag stated by a correspondent at Toronto, Ho still remains at the Clifton, NisGara Faraz, August 18, 1864. Several prominent parties from the North are ut the Clifton House to day, among them Judge Biack, of Pemn- sylvania, Jake Thompson also made his appearance there for the first time in six weeks. Their movements indicate that something important is going on. This, taken in connection with thp facts that have been re- ceived within the last twenty-four hours, in reference to the alarm and fear that has taken possession of Old Abe, hove given rise to the remor that Judge Black came with permission of Secretary Stanton, Tam ouable to night to ascertain the truth or faleity of the rumor, Mr. Black is not a man tbat rups many per- sonal rinke, The appesravee of Thompson, who was also & momber. of Bochunan's Cabinet, 80 soon after Judge Biack’s arrival, means something.’ Can it be poseibic that Stanton Greeley for the purpose of initiating ations himeell ?

DESTRUCTION OF A BLOCKADE RUNNER. From General Sckimmelfinnig’s district we ht gratifying report. On Tuesday night last a large propel- tor—something like the Commander, which is to carry this letter—ran through our fleet off Charleston, and got vaground on the Sullivan’s Island side of the channel, near Fort Moultrio, ‘She was discovered there in the morning. Somejof the naval vessels opened on her without effect, She was seen by the batteries on Morris Irland about the same time-dayligbt—and several sbots were fired, nearly every one doing execution, One went through her smokestack, one took off her nose, and just as her bow began to sink a third shell went through her boiler and sunk her. Tho firing was kept up until sbe was made a complete wreck, She is now a shapeless hulk, nearly under water. A portion of her cargo was evidently de- stroyed with her, but a considerable portion was also saved by rebel wreckers. ‘THE FIRE ON SUMTER. The fire from our batteries is still kept up on Sumter and the city, slowly, but with most gtatifying accuracy. A dekerter who came in recently informs us that our firing does great execation, and is directed at the wenkest points of the fort, a fact attributable to General Foster's knowledge of it while stationed there. The rebels, it is said, exp: ess grout fear lest this continual bombardmen: of points by no means impregreble will ultimately inter- fere with the safety of their casemates, and much weaken the defences. ‘A NAVAL BATTERY, In consequence of the non rece'pt of guns for which requisition hie been made, General Foster requestes Ad- miral Dablgren to loan hima battery, and the result is an arrangement by which a battery of six (1 think) guns Is to be placed on Morris Leland, be- ela and Gregg, to be manned by satlors and marines, and ussist in the bombardment there. One gun has already gone up, and the rest will probably be mounted betore this letter reaches you. DEFENCES FOR WILTON HEAD AND REATFORT, Doring the summer the main defences of H lton Head inland consisting principal'y of a simplo line of earth: works, with one or two Batteries, have been extended, and strenethened by the construction of a citadel in their centre, (ius enab tng a small force to boid them avainst a larger ‘co than the rebels can probabiv ever land bere, Anothes « tadel ts to be erected near Mitchelville, render- ing the island safe against any attack from the Seabrook direction, A third is to be constructed just outssde the town of eaufort. ‘These works aro probably net absolutely necessary for the protection of these posts; but they will render them more impreguubie and save mueh loss of lice on our side should a seriouz attack besmade, GENERAL WATCH. We have had no news { rum Florida for some days; but at lust accounts Generai Hatch was bound on a raid, the result of which we aro anxfous to hear, A RUMOR.

Some tronbdle has arisen between army ard navy of- cers, crowing out o! an aitempt to arrest alleged decer- ers from the army,employed ia paval shops at Bay Point, St. Helena, and an alleged recruiting of cae or two men there, Admirai Dahlgren claims exclusive jurisdic- tion at Hay Point, where the naval rendezvpus is; but there seems an opportunity for contesting the claim, from the fact that the army have-a fort there, with a garrison, THR RECRUITING AGENTS from Northern States find but a peor show to obtain men.
