TIIE PRESSURE upon our columns of a largo
timount gd exciting war news has prevented us
from publishing at an earlier day the speech
•delieerLd by lion. &nor; CAiteitoN, at liar
aisburg, prior to his departure for Europe.
It will be found cm our fourth page.
PERIIAPS No public man in the country, at
the present time, hie so much reason to cry
save me from my friends," as General
iIIeCLELLAN. It 15 his nustertuno to be chant-
Veiled by certain New York journalists, who
seem to forget that he is just now carving out
ai rep uttiti,,li with hint §word which w ill h e , it'
ho prove successful, his good and sufficient
-defence against air, malice of enemies,
whether they be civil or military. It is not
strange that a man iu his position should be
the mark of ill-natured criticism. Indeed, he
would be wallrilig in all that goes to make up
a good general were it otherwiSe. A. public
man without public enemies would be an ex
ception to the rule. It is no kindness to
hum to place him before the country as a
much-abnsed man—an especial object of envy
and d etraci ion. To volunteer far-fetched and
Unefilleti.tor Ot filIM of hid course is to teach
the public a hat we believe to botalsethat
he is unable to vindicate himself by the deeds
which will be credited to him in the history of
this war.
One thing is certain: Genius cannot finally
be cbuiiml );' its meet'. The mists of envy,
detraction, and falsehood may teinperarily
obscure the most b ihiunt display of great
qualities, as clouds obscure the sun ; but facts
and acts will at last matte themselves felt and
acknowledged. No combinations can suc
cessfully war against theSe sure witnesses—
,. i su,s_kiw eat, stitla theit , voice_ They will
take the :stand and testify when malice is
dead, and envy has "peaked and pined"
itself into pi emature decline:
In these times—exceptional as they are to
any in o ur national experience—every man
must stand ulam his own merit. All other
props will he struck away by the Keen and
lively discrimination of the intelligent masses.
The actors in this siupeudous struggle for na.
ti .nNI fits- trill ts-',lll , leild by rho record,
and not by the diatribes of surly criticism, or
the latabliinuN of a judging friendship. An
indiscreet 'holism' press will darali any pArty
to which it devotes its energies ; so, an ill
•udging champion of a prominent man will
generally Bantu slit hero,
But we in. et heartily protest against the
daily alt: nip , of cettain of our cotemporaries
to forerearli oisas:ter, and apologize for it.
Possible failure, like borrowed trouble, never
brought anythin:r but ill-timed grief into the
Louse. We p:tqvr to take the success of the

CLELLAN is smiting the rebellion between
the eyes, and there is every indication new
that be will drive tile enemy "to the wail,"
A little ealinnes and considerable faith must
be exercised until the news of the final coup

gratitude t.l at there will be no room for the
baser emotions of . nvy and detraction.
TuE .111.u.trAny Oren.,rso.s.s now. being
con
ducted in Virginia are of the most thrilling
and wonderful character. The war f.ti. the
Union increases in interest; each day, and as
the climax of a complete triumph ()fits defend

armiea, the lit B gPittle of their opongivnl,
their activity, and the splendor of the achieve

for the defence of New Orleans. Never did
a free people display more ingenuity, energy,

at Lam:aster, will :Attract special attention on

policy recommended by President LaNcOLN,
and approved by Congress. There are motile
who appear to suppose that all the people of
the slave States are necessarily opposed to
any measures for the abolition of slavery. But
this idea is utterly erroneous. In The debate
upon the very resolution to which we refer,
(for it was opp , sed by some members who
deemed it iiii,Ki.etliont to empress at, opinion
upon the question it inVOlVell,) one of the lead

There is, else, at this moment, a strong
movement being made for the abolition of
slavery in Delaware, Maryland, Missouri,
Western Virginia, and Kentucky, by a portion
of the citizens of those States, souse of the
most active and influential men engaged in it
being themselves large slaveholders. Colonel
METCALF, Of who Is the owner of
about twenty slaves, in a speech he recently
delivered in Nicholas county, Kentucky, said:

The old enthusiasm for peaseful abolition
by State action, which distinguished the close
of the last century and swept slavery from the
whole region north of Mason and Dixon's line,
has been rekindled in the Border Slave States;
and there are strong indications that it will
leave as enduring and beneficent a mark upon
their future history as the old State abolition
Agitation left upon the present free States.
Cily Extravugance
On Thursday, by a vote of 19 to 17, the
Common Council agreed to present Mr,
OEORGE F. Gennes, late assistant clerk, with
$590 out of the Public Treasury. The ordi
nance was immediately sent to the select
Eranch, elin sesolen, -and was passed by
that body,—though an attempt to carry it at
once, by suspending the rules, was defeated,
and the third reading was postponed to another
session.
Mr. GEO. F. GORDON has not the shadow of
a claim for one dollar over anti above the
salary which he received. Originally assistant
clerk, he undertook to perform the duties of
chief clerk during the absence of Colonel
➢CALL in the war, Mrs CULLUM, president o f
the Select Council, told that Chamber exactly
how the case lay—that Mr. GonneN performed
the duties of chief clerk, receiving the full
salary of that office, and that an amount
equivalent to the same full salary was also
paid to the absent Chief Clerk SMALL. Thus
Mr. Goithox received the higher income of
the higher office, which onght to sat.sly any
moderate man. But it is pretended, for hint;
that he hod mow witra trouble, which this
sum of $501) will partly compenSate. Herein
is fulfilled the adage, 44 Much will have more."
Councils, it is clear, will give him thig
douctur—which, as a conscientious man, he
should refuse. Councils, no doubt, would deal
very ditlcrently with the ease if they had to
deal with their own money instead of the money
of the public. There are several gentlemen
of commercial standing in the City Councils,
who may ponder over the following case: A
merchant has several clerks, the principal one
enjoying it larger salary than his assistant.
This principal elvris retires, and the 0,, , ,40..C3ce
clerk performs the duty in his place, being paid
therefor by the increased salary. What would
his employer say it', at the end of nine months,
when his own term of service expired, this
grasping assistant clerk, already paid very
much more than his original salary, was to
come before the firm, like Oliver Twist, and
ask for more
The Mayor has a right to veto the Councils'
oidinance, whereby a large sum of public
money is intended to be needlessly squat,
dered, and, having full confidence in his
t>ll()l'lAintkgrity and desire to economize the
city's funds, we shall be much surprised if ho
does not exercise that right.

The phantom of European Intervention in
American complications is again invoked in
certain disaffected quarters. There was a
time when an interposition like this would
have been welcome if it had taken
the substantial shape of such a recog
nition of the resources of the Federal Govern
ment, and the people 01 the adhering States,
and of such an acknowledgment of the justice
of the resistance to a causeless and conscience
less Bch e.. 11
ion as would have assured the South
ern people of the desperation and wickedness
of their revolt. Mr. Seward had taken the
yilsepreCintilon to inforth 11 rho G(tvertimen(a
of the earth of the merit( of our dispute
with rebellious slaveholders, and to assure
these Governments that, as the war was
about to be precipitated by these slave
holders in the face of all the peaceful
and amicable efforts of the President and
his friends in the Thirty-sixth Ctingeasi the
attempt in any quarter lo recognize Secessioa
would be at once resented. The effect of these
warnings arrested the open intrigues of the
rebels and their friends in Europe; but it did
not prevent Great Britain, especially, from
taking the next most ctthetiye course to em
b.:rrass the Government of the United States
in the prosecution of the war for its own ex
is( ens°. It is too bite Sitaii' any of thuso
Powers to take a hand in this struggle, unless
to counsel the traitors to a graceful and speedy
turretder. However gratifying tl , O assist
ance of these Powers would haVe been
nine months ago, it is not n:eded or
dt sired at the present time. The war
has weakened, dislocate d, and exhausted
the South, while it has left the loyal North
at d Norhw est with energ es unsubducd, and
resources newly dt,voloped ; with a vietmious
army in all the fields of action ; wittf a navy
that has astonished the who!t: world; a reinvi
gorated credit ; thOr soil uninvaded by a foe;
their cities prosperous ; their farmers indus.

of their people ready lin. every other sacrifice of
props try and person. Such a melon can attind
to standalone. Insulted and hampered in the
hi-ur of its weakness by oflieituts and unfriendly
princes and cabinets, it can now take care
of itself, and can decline, or if need be, oppose,
any attempt to intervene in this war, unless
such attempt is made with its own consent ; or
at its own request. Mr. Gladstone, the Btitish
Chancellor of the Exchequer, in that part
of his speech of the 24th of April, de
voted to the American question, argues,
with shameless hypocrisy and subtlety, - in
favor of the rebel side of the war;
and is extensively horrified at the cha
racter of the conflict, and full of doubt and
dread at the.‘ enormous difficulty" of the
task undertaken the Federal Government,
It is pOsible that when he hears of the
iate successes of our arms, and of the
10)41 niatliftattatitfilS in the *.oath, he may
he undeceived equally in his hopes and
his fears. Any how, these events should caL
lighten him that, while we are capable of
humiliating Treason on our own shores, wo
are also capable to defend ourselves against
those who, after deserting and humiliating; us,
rosy now try to mediate, with arms in their
hands, en the side of a pro-slavery rebellion,
with all its accompaniments of savage barbari
ty, mutilation and desecration of the wounded
and the dead.
We must adjust our own troubles among
ourselves. The true statesmen of Europe

cannot bring the misguided people of the
South to their senses, no foreign aid can be

expehsive war. Is England ready for Una
venture ? Is France ? No These na
tions want cotton and tobacco, and they
can only get these by allowing Mr. Lin
coln's programme to work out the destiny of
commerce and trade. The best answer that
can be matte to those newspaper critics who
continue the assertion that the Republicans
are the enemies of (en. McClellan, is the open
expression of delight over his triumph an the
peninsula by the Republicans in Congress.
They hail his victory with exultation, and I do
not doubt that among the foremost to do him
honor will be the men who have complained
of the slowness of his military operations.
It is due to the history of the war that I
should add That very- many men ; not Repub
licans, have indulged in these very com
plaints, and that among these were dis
tinguished officers of the regular army itself,
Now, however, that he is doing his work, and
doing it well and thoroughly, the voice of
censure is silent, and the voice of grate
ful praise public and frequent. During
all the disputes which have been produced by
the contrast presented between the steady and
seleidific movements of General McClellan
and the rapid and brilliant dashes of the lead
ers in our Western fields of action, it was a
Republican President that continued to sus
tam the youthful Major General; it .
was a Republican Congress . that complied
with all his requests, and reposed gln3Qlt iM
perial power in his hands. In the very natere
of things, the chief of such an army as McClel
lan's could not pass uucriticised. Buell has
been complained of by many who are not Re
loblicaus. Halleck, Grant, the lamented
Charles F. Smith, the two Shermans, and
.lohn C. Fremont, have had to pass the fiery
ordeal, and this, too, when the
most of them were offering their
lives for their country in more than one des
pm ate battle. ateliteltui has
and for this he has won and he will re
ceive enduring honors. Those who have made
him the special object of their idolatry will
soon cease their half-hearted praise, when they
fitd that the men who of ed to what they
conceived his delay gladly come forward and
render to him that tribute which is so justly
his due. °MAI:11011AL.

The battle of Williamsburg was a most brilliant en-

Booker's arid Smith's divisions, and parts of Casey's
and Rearney's were actively engaged all day, add an

mope being principally from the. extreme South. Our
killed and wounded will reach eight hundred. The ene

A reconnoissance by our cavalry to that stream found
no fortifications, and captured many prisoners and arms.
McClellan will probably remain in Williamsburg two or
three days. Franklin. and butigniCiee divisions are at

At coon as they arrived within range they opened with
Phot tuid shell over aeuvell's Point, most or winch wore

opened, and then the Naugatuck, for the finis tints.
&Taal shots veto fired front the single gun on the ex.
treinity of the Point, when one from the Monitor struck
in the vicinity, doubtless disabling the gun, as it has not
been tired sthee.

Nothing more occurred till a little before two o'clock,
when the filing was very feeble - from the Poi it. The
Monitor about this lime, returned from her advanced

of ltur could be seen but- a steal•., square, black spot on

smoke arose rapidly from Sewell's Point, probably ftom
the Iderbleg of the berracles at , other building.
t about half past two o'clock the Merrimac made her
