It is now cot tain that Beauregard is insane, and is at aw atering place in Alabama. General Joe Johnston was wounded by a minis hall at the battle of Seven Pines very severely. The ball passed through the left breast, near the shoulder, going through tho body, and running down the spine, lodging, and causing a terrible wound. John ston is now suffering from the wound, and is not ex pected to recover. Magruder and Huger have both been relieved of command, and the demigods of the Southern army axe Lee, Hill, and Jackson. Gon. Lee was the favorite cavalry staff officer of Gen. Soctt, who considered him the ablest officer in our army at one time. He is a distinguished engineer, and, from this fact alone, it has been thought he would never be great as a general. General Hill was unknown previous to the breaking out of the rebellion. He was for some years superintendent, of the State Military Academy of North Carolina, and has always been very successful in tho manage ment of his division. General Thomas Jefferson (Stonewall) Jackson •was a classmate of McClellan at West Point, and commanded a regiment of volunteers in the Mexi can war with credit. After the war ho aooeptei the portfolio of professor at tho Virginia Military Institute at Lexington, around whioh plaoe he re cruited many of his troops. Ho is younger even than MoClellan, and, in consequence of his youth, has not been made a full Major General, although he commands over thirty thousand men. Drafting will soon begin. Our old regi ments are rapidly filling up, new regiments are being recruited, and tho call of tho Presi dent is meeting a glorious response. The spirit of the people is being manifested in the enthusiasm which attends every public demon stration of allegiance and loyalty in the un paralleled profusion with which the people give their money and means. We do not thiDk Philadelphia has exhibited a nobler spirit of generosity and self-devotion in her whole history than daring the past few weeks. And we speak of Philadelphia as an illustra tion of the whole Union. Every newspaper we read is burdened wilh accounts of the pro gress of the war feeliDg among all classes and in all communities. The President’s call has awakened the public heart, money is sub scribed, men are offered, and the work goes bravely od. When this has been dene, when old regi ments have been replenished and new regi ments created, we must still prepare ourselves for other work to do. The past is full of glory, the future is full of hope—and our glory as well as onr hope constrains us to an ticipate the other duties in store for us. We have a large army to sustain and replenish; and to sustain this army men must be poured into recruiting stations and camps of instruc tion. This must be done quickly and without hesitation. It is hardly just to expect the Government to await the tedious process of recruiting, and the more tedious dulays inci dent to discipline and military education. Those who are holding back hesitating and trembling, or hoping to serve any private, poli tical, or social interest, should bring them selves to anticipate a call from which no citizen is exempt. This measure is so just that we do not see why there should he any hesitation in adopting it. The burden of the war should not fall upon the generous and willing. There are maty in our midst who have no sympathy with our cause—who ignore or opposo tho Republic while enjoying its protection. Thcso men should be compelled to do their part towards saving the Republic. It is to reach such men Ibat drafting will soon begin. Why should there not be a draft? Every loyal man is willing to give his life and all that be possesses to save the country. Let the summons come in any way, whether from the Tecruiling otficer or the ward assessor, he is at all times ready to meet it and answer the demand of his country. There can ho no in justice in its operation. Those only who care to lag and remain at home will resent the warrant of the mustering officer. It will be an additional test of loyalty, which the true man will greet with! joy, and the false citizen with sorrow. This is the more necessary when wo soe emissaries going BmcDg the people and imploring them not to enter the aTmy for fear their absence might endanger political combinations and the success of certain cmd da es. There are many of these in this community—men who sympathize with our foes, and do all to aid them by weakening and disparaging the cause of Ihe Government. These are the men we want to see in the aimy, and it is only by a draft that their services can he procured. If they enjoy immunity and protection, they should certainly endure a portion of the hard ship and trial. At a time like this such a measure will be peculiarly appropriate. The condition of the South assures us that for perverse and length ened rt sistance its power is over. In every part of the Confederacy, we sec want, discon tent, misery, insubordination, famine, typhus, and a military despotism. Tho rebellion is dviDg a hard and tedious death. It can only gather new life by onr supineness and in activity. We' must strike severely, con stantly, and aithout fail; we must lay tho serpent’s head upon tho stone, and bruise it beneath onr feet. To do so, wo must negicct no means of strengthening our cause, and Ihe army which sustains it. The path we follow is the proper one, but let there bo no delay in driving the enemy to the wall. Let volunteers be coaxed, money paid, in ducements granted, negro labor used ia tho camp and trenches, and then, to equalize the dangers and burdens, and concentrate our efforts for a final struggle, let our authorities proceed to dratt, arm, ami ——u -v.ia bodied citizen. This is the quickest way to end the war. IVe have full details, this morning, of the English news received by the Aus tralasian, but they are sufficiently explicit for every thinking man this side ot the Atlantic to Bee what will soon be the inevitable course of foreign Powers towards America. Only yesterday most of the New York papers seemed to have come to an agreement that the fear of mediation was rapidly becoming a thing of the past; only a day or two before The Press bad urged, as it always has urged, that the danger of intervention was becoming more and more imminent. The late news confirms our view, though it will not surprise cs to see the journals of our sister city claim the evidence to weigh on the other side. But how does it stand ? In the House of Com mons a deliberate resolution is brought for ward recommending a recognition of the South < “ The propriety of recognizing these States as an independent nation is worthy of the serious and immediate attention of her Majesty’s Government.” On what is this based ? “ The States which have Beceded from the Union of the Republic of the United States have so long maintained themselves under a separate ana established Government, and have given such proof of their ability to support their independence.” And what are the means by which the pro posed recognition is to be effected ? “ This House will cordially support her Majesty in endeavoring, in concert with foreign Powers, by mediation or otherwise, to bring to a termination the existing contest in Amerioa.” There it is—mere mediation no longer, but a very uncomfortable otherwise ominously threatened. But the fate of the resolution willjbe pleaded against its purport. Not validly, if the record be carefully examined. Lindsat, the mover, succeeded in rallying to tbe support of bis ar gument three other influential members of the House. Opposing him, we are told, were Hr. Tatlob and Lord Palmerston ; but the Pre mier’s coadjutors are not to be accounted; it is his own words that we want as exponential of the Government’s purposes. Lord Pal merston, then, proceeded to plead against the resolution, hut his postulates and arguments alifc deny the sincerity oi his course. “Lord Palmerston earnestly advised that the question be left to the Government. Iu the oourse of bis speech he said that the issue of the war was a foregone conclusion, saying that the only satis- factory termination that could be anticipated mat an amicable separation." Now, what data had the noble lord to found such an opinion on ? The fact that the rebels had recently gained important advantages, thereby not only increasing tho material chances already in their hands, but infusing new enthusiasm into their soldiery, and new unity and energy into their plans. Nay, even this pregnant summary of gain is not tho lull extent of the revelations, on the rebel side of the h< use, made of the Richmond battles. The descriptions of that awful series of con tests must have assured the veteran statesman ' that if there had ever been any Union feeling at the South, it was now, who'her by con? pulsion or voluntary choice, wholly rated as far as the Southern troops were ch‘ cerned; that but one sentiment inspjed them—savage and ruthless hate; a convijon that their hearths were being invaded, aj an undying determination that if tho fires ofiheir homes were to he quenched, it should b< with the blood of tho Northern aggressors Toe crafty politician mnst have soen, too, that, aside from the splendid lighting qualities of the Southern troops, they were handled with a Napoleonic precision and rapidity; that the plans of the Confederates, as well as tho shrewd adaptation of them to their re sources, revealed a thorough familiarity with the last results of nilitary science and expe rience. Looking to the North, what must the Premier have sem ? Bravery, excelling, in brilliancy of dash and boldn-ss of charge, anything exhibited iy the Southern legions ; but, better than bravery, courage —a courage sublime in its endurance, a courage that towers into heroism, that must win tho plaudits, the worshipful homage of every man who fools hew godlike is manhood when hacked by noble purpose, steadied and strengthened by honor, led by nnhlcnching daring. Even the poor old Premier’s heart, though withered by life-long care, gnawed down to its bare chords by the restless and relentless tooth of political aspira tion, hardened by cold calculation, and the voluntary abjuration of every manly impulse— even this poor old mockery of a heart mnst have recalled its youth, and thrilled with vague hankerings after some noble purpose, when it pictured the stern defiance that nerved every Northern soldier’s soul in those fearful days, and taught him to lie down and die rather than yield one inch, except purposely, to overwhelming numbers. And then this magnate of England, turning to watch the effect upon the great masses of the North, sees not tho faintest semblance of discourage ment ; such a thing as terms is not dreamed of, but, instead, the people rise up in awful majesty, in overwhelming might, and rally once wore to crush out the insidious foe. A call for three hundred thousand more volun teers sweeps over the land, and everywhere it is answeied by enthusiastic acclamation. In view of such unanimous declarations on tho part of each section to carry on the war to the last map and tho last dollar, how could Lord Palmerston say that “ tho only satis factory termiwition that could be anticipated was an amicabio separation ?” The man is not a fool j and, accustomed during a long life to handle nations and feel national impulses, ho knew that an “ amicable separation” would never come from either of the contending parties in America. What, then, did he moan by making this declaration in Parliament and by deprecating any interference in onr con cerns ? Ah, the astute politician knew well the odium excited here against him, and lie determined to smooth it over by a seeming championship of our independent rights. The whole debate in Parliament teas a part of his programme, and even/ one carried onl Ihe role assigned him. Lord Palmeesiox’s object was to conciliate American feeling in his behalf, so that he conhl work out his purposes with that lubricity and duplicity for which he is famous. Therefore, Sir. Lindsay was put np to introducing the resolution; therefore, the other noble gentlemen had concordant cues given them; and therefore, trie Premier him self struck this theatric attitudo in our do fence. Our people will not be hoodwinked by any such trickery, clever though it he. We feel plainly enough that the foreign storm is rolling nearer to us; yet we assure Lord Palmebston, the Times, the Monileur. and all tho powers of the Allied Pandemonium, that wo arc nothing daunted, but shall he ready for each and all of them, if madness lead them to attack tho liberties for which we have lavished so much blood. LETTER PROM “OCCASIONAL.” Washington, July 30, 1862 Annihilation ! Shall the Republic be an nihilated, or shall the Rebellion be annihi lated ? Such is the distinct alternative. 'Which shall we choose ? The hour for hesitation has passed. The hour for determination has come. Every minute adds alike to the responsibili ties and to the perils of tho Government. But the Government must be saved. In this great necessity all minor issues, doubts, and into rests are absorbed. It is one of the grand characteristics of our people that every new danger calls from them new courage. Vic toTy does not create over-exultation; for victory is their deserved reward, and they accept it as such. But defeat maddons them. They do not find the word defeat in their vocabulary; and they have not yet learned to submit to the decree that a cause so right as ours may sometimes bo overborne by the worst of foes. But they rebound from every fall with herculean energy. To such a race the alternative of the annihilation of their Government or the annihilation ot tho Rebellion is nowlpresented. They will not weaken under it. All that is needed is that they should feel that it is so. This done and the great work is begun. There are some things that should be written on our hearts like those axioms that have lived so long as iobecomcpetrifledfacts. Theseare: Nopcace that is not conquered. The rebels fight for their lives and forour death. Wecould notgire what they would demand, without consenting to our own degradation, and to such a mutila tion of our own soil as would leave us doubly degraded. Beading our reverses in this light we must accept them as admonitions and instructions. It is just possible that a series of vast victo ries would have produced a peace equally false and temporary. God, in his provi dence, may send us disaster as well to chas ten as to crystalize us—to lower our nride, and to harden us for a tong fight and a tasting settlement . Every day educates us for a higher destiny. It is amazing how much the traveller can endure after he has passed over a difficult journey. A year ago we were Taw and undisciplined, in; dolent, luxurious, aDd self- sufficient—strangers alike to our weakness and our strength. To day we are a people who have passed through a dreadful probation; and although probably no nearer the peace that must at last come to us than twelve months since, yet so conscious of our power, and so confident of a right re sult, that we shall soon be ready for all our foes, foreign and domestic. Courage, then, fellow-countrymen! If we do not live to the end of our struggle for freedom, we may die content that the end will be a good one. Important Rebel New*. Nashville, July 30.—A rebel mail from Chat tanooga has been captured. The letters contain valuable information. Beauregard has resigned, end gene te tbe springs in AUtitsi, Bragg is at Vicksburg with 20,000 men, but is scaroe of horses. An artillery company from Georgia could not be supplied with guns or horses, and parties are out stealing horses wherever they oould be found. The rebel letters seized were from Tupello, Mississippi, fifty miles south of Corinth. The writers anticipated an early occupation of Tennes see by the rebel troops, and every rebel warlike indication proves the supposition. The rebels are reported to have evaauated Lebanon with the in tention to mass their troops at a given point for a sudden dash on Nashville. All the clergy prisoners not sent hence to Louis ville are on the way South. Hebei Prisoners to be Sent South.

Rumored Designs ot the Rebels on Nor- The steamer Mount Washington arrived at the navy yard at an early hour this morning. Captain Germain says there is a rumor in Norfolk, which is believed by some, that the Morrimao No. 2 and a new ram, which tbe rebels have at Richmond, in tend to run through tho fleet in tbe Jamcß river, and attack the Minnesota and other vessels at Nor folk, and take that city. It is also said, and is be lieved by tbo Unionists, that the Secessionists there have a full 6U?p)y of arms in their housos, and that they are ready to strike a blow simultaneous with tho approach of the rebel steamers. On tho way up quite an unusual number of boats woro seen on the bay, orossing either way, whioh the Captain thinks are in tho employ of tho rebels, and is of the opinion that, as most of tho gunboats are elsewbcro employed, the Secessionists in Lower Maryland and Eastern Virginia are in constant communication with each other by this means. French Blockade of Mexican Ports. Information has boon received at the State De partment frtin Charlies W* Proctor, United States Vice Consul at Vera Cruz, that by an order of the Commander of the French forces at that place, tho ports of Tampico and Alvarado would, on the 15th instant, bo blockaded by a French naval force, and that tbo blockade would bo maintained until a cessation of hostilities. The Reported Death of Sam Houston. A prominent citizen of Texas now here, and of well-known Union proclivities, denies the truth of the statements generally of a person calling him self tho Rev. C. 11. Clark, of that State, who re cently addressed a public meeting at Boston. Sam Houston, whose son-in-law he claims to bo, hag none, unless his eldest daughter, about sixteen years of age, has been marriod within tbo last two months. Lieut. Governor Clark, whom tho Reve rend gentleman represents as his father, has but one son, and he a mere lad. If Gov. Houston is dead, his demise must havo recently occurred. Gentlemen now here from Western Texas, where a fact of that importance would have certainly been known, are ignorant of the occurrence of such an event. Appointments or Hear Admirals in the Tho President to-day commissioned the following* named captains to be roar admirals on the retired list, under the recent net to establish and equalize the grades of lino officers of the navy: Charles Stewart, George C.

Arrest of an Aliened Rebel Officer. Porton, July 30.—John Johnson, an alleged rebel officer from Now Orleans, was arrested last night, at the residence of his unde, in Roxbury, and committed to jail. Aiding Federal Foldicrs to Desert. At an early hour yesterday morning, a squad of cavalry proceeded to the residence of Colonel T. F. Bowie, near Upper Marlboro’, and took him inous* tody. He was brought to the city yesterday after nocD, and after being taken before tho provost mar shal, waß sent to the Old Capitol, where he is still confined.

Howe has been here for save ral dayg conferring with the Surgeon General and the WaT Department upon tho subject of furloughs to sick aud wounded soldiers. He brought with him lottcrs from tho Governors of Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Wisconsin, In diana, and Minnesota, the States he represents as military agent in New York, strongly urging Borne modification of the order which prohibits the grant ing of fur ougbs. Tho Secretary of War has boon disposed to act promptly and humanely on this question, and it is believed thatan ord or will be made establishing a Board of Medical Officers to decide upon the furloughing of such persons recommend ed by surgeons in charge of hospitals, and such only, as may absolutely require chango. Surgeon General Hammond loft Washington, this morning, on a tour of inspection to Fort Delaware, and to the islands and hospitals in New York and elsowhero. He is accompanied by Col. Howe. The Baltimore Clipper of this morning contains a despatch from hero, stating that Gen. McClel lan had arrived in Washington. It is hardly ne cessary to say that it is untrue, and that tho de spatch never passed over tho wires. J. W. Umpheed, of Company 1,63 d Pennsyl vania, has just died in the hospital here. Pennsylvania Soldiers’ Relief Association NEWSPAPER SUPPRESSED The Mount Sterling Aflair. Louisville, July 30.—The Express newspaper has been suppressed and tho publisher arrestod, by order of General Boyle, on account of the general tone of the paper being calculated to aid tho re bellion. The following further particulars of the Mount Sterling affair have been received: Yesterday, about sundown, ITO mounted gueril las, mostly armed, from Boon county, Kentucky, arrived at North Middleton A Union man sent from there notified the inhabitants of Mount Ster ling of the designs of these guerillas to attack the latter place. In the afternoon, seven of the gueril las went into Mount Sterling to demand the sur reader, The Mount Sterling Home Guards, thirty strong, under Captain Evans, killed the whole seven. The remainder of the rebels, on advancing, were fired at from the houses, and six more were killed, and some twenty mortally wounded. Tae rebels in retreating two miles came upon Major Broobt’s force of the ISth Kentucky, and the provost marshal of Lexington, advancing with ono hundred of the regiment and thirty Home Ouwic from tbe neighborhood of North Middleton, when they broke in confusion and eooHo»4 in every direction. Major Brocht pursuing fired upon them, killing and wounding several, cap turing their horses, arms, eto., and taking about fifty prisoners. From twenty to fifty men were subsequently reported captured. Our loss was three of the Home Guards, one of whom was fatally, and one of Brocht’s regiment severely, wounded. The Guerilla War in Missouri. Holla, Mo., July 29.—At Stllville, oh Sunday night, it was estimated that at least 1,500 mounted and armed men had crossed the State road from Potosi to Jefferson, within ten miles of that place, for Dixie. About 1,700 have organized and put out from Salem within three days. Within that time they stampeded across the railroad in great numbers between Holla and Morrimao They take horses, clothing, ammunition, and supplies of every kind, wherever they find them. A merchant was robbed of $lOO, clothing, and goods, and two fine horses. On Sunday night other horses were taken from thesame vicinity. Occasional. This epediss of property is openly demanded and forcibly taken. Near Cuba, on Sunday night, a man was shot while defending bis arms from seizure by these bandits. Another had a rifle presented to his head, with an order to bring bis best horse from the sta ble, and present the same to Jeff Davis. Half way between Cuba and Leesburg, as the train passed yesterday, there were drawn up within short rifle range a large body of men, estimated at 100, all believed to be bound for Prioe’s army. At Stillville, the Secessionists were confident that Mcßride was within two days’ march of that place. Mexico, Mo., July 30.—From an officer just iu from the field, I get the following reliable acaount of the fight at Moore’s Mills, 12 miles oast of Ful ton, on Monday afternoon: Our forces were under Col. Guitar, about 700 strong, and the rebels force is believed to have been about 800 or 900. Our loss was 10 killed and 30 wounded. The rebels leit 52 dead on the field, and had about 100 wound ed. The fight lasted three hours, when the rebels fled in confusion. Fouker went east, and Cobb west. Reported Evacuation of Richmond. Washington, Va., July 30. —There is a report here, coming through contraband channels, to the effect that large bodies of Confederate troops are oroceing the James river southward. The contra bands say that they are evaeuating Richmond. If the guerillas get between two fires often, ae they did in Kentucky the other day, they wiil soon he annihilated.

Warrehton, July 30 —Colonel Lloyd, of tho fith Ohio Cavalry, commanding at Luray, yester day, in pursuance of General Pope’s order, arrest ed all the inale'inhabitanta of the town, and lodged them in tbo court house, preparatory to adminis tering the oath of allcgianco. This fourse was im peratively necessary, from the fact that several of them had left their homes, and it w&b supposed for tbo purpose of joining the guerillas wbo infest the west side of the South Fork, and, in oho instance, captured our river pickets. A prominent Secession farmer and his son, re siding near Little Washington, left home yester day, for the mountains, taking horses, equipments, and arms. Last night our pickets were fired on by two guerillas in that vicinity, supposed ) to be the farmer ard bis son. 1 All was quiet at Culpopcr at the last advices. THE WAR IN KENTUCKY. Louisville, July 29. It is reported that a party of guerillas, under Colonel Cano, of Morgan notoriety, took Russelville this 1 morning, killing one or two of our lieutenants, and badly wounding C»'p**in Myj/oTr, of tho Kentucky volunteers. Other reports SAy that a collision took place be tween the Homo Guards at Russelville, either from mistake or otherwise. A few hours after the rebel capture of Russel ville, a portion of a Federal regiment was due there, and has probably arrived and reinstated the authority of tho Government Governor Magi ffin issued a proclamation yester day, calling together the Kentucky Legislature to meet on August 14. After remarking that tho Miiitary Board still claims the paramount military authority of the Commonwealth, and is unwilling to resign the powers heretofore exercised by that body, or to permit their exerotee by tho Governor, he continues: “ A civil conflict is impending over us; yet I am without a soldier or a dollar to protect the lives, properly, and liberties of the people, or to enforce the laws. Daily Appeals are being made to me, as Governor of the Smte, to protect our citizens from marauding bands and in the peaceful oojeyment of their property and rights under the Cimstitu-ion. «» I am without the means and power to afford re lief, and I am left no alternative but to appeal to you, the representatives of the people, in the hope that it will not be in vain. Any attempt on my part to organize a force for that purpose will cer tainly but precipitate the evil. I, therefore, not unwillingly, convene the General Assembly, that they may themselves determine the extent of the authority granted ny them, and, looking to the policy adopted in the State and the late action of Congress and the President, touching the quedtion of slavery, provide for the safety of our institutions ar.d the peace and tranquillity of tho Common wealth.” The War m Arkansas. Memphis, July 30.—Passengers from Helena re port that Jeff Thompson was at Austin yesterday, with a body of men, an ammunition train, and two or three field-pieces, endeavoring to find trans portation across tho Arkansas. It was believed that he intended to stop and seize one of Gen. Cur tis’ transports. A cavalry force was sent up from Helena, but failed to find the rebels, who had lied in different directions in the interior. Thore has been no arrival from Vicksburg. The rebel batteries erected at Gaines’ Landing are still obstructing tbe passage of boats. The obstructions will bo removed in a few days, and the communica tion re-established. St. Louis, July 29 —lnformation has been re ceived that a large force of guerillas have entered Missouri from Arkansas, and are now encamped near tbe State line, in Howell and Texas counties. They are represented to be commanded by Mcßride, and include the gangs headed by Cole man and Hawthorne. Many refugees from these counties, and also Wright county, have reached Springfield.

Bullitt, demanded tbe surrender of Mount Sterling, Kentucky. On being refused, they attasked the place, but were repulsed by the Home Guard. During the retreat of the guerillas tboy were met by a party of Federal troops under Major Bracht, of the Bth Kentucky Regiment, who drove them back towards the town, where they were again at tacked by the Home Guard. The result was a com plete stampede of the guerillas, with a loss of eight killed and forty-eight prisoners’. The number of their wounded is not known. They also lost all their horses. Our loss in the engagement Was three wounded. From St. Louis.

Mr Liridnay rcfiO pursuant to notice, and said he wished to call tho atforitWn cf the House to a matter of great importance—the unhappy war which now in tbe United states. Jo doing 00 ho felt assured that an expulsion of opinion on the part of the House on tho subject would have nn effect contrary to that which some of his h< n. friends near him seemed to apprehend. He might add ilmt, in the course of the observations which he was about to make, lio would not say one word with reference to the slnkirg of iho stono flout at.

In tho opinion of this Homo tho States which have seceded from the Union of tbe Republic of the United Stott b have so long maintained themselves under a Eepurat* and established Government, and have giveu such proof of their determination and ability to support thelrin depenrience that the propriety of oflVrfng mediation with tho view of terminating hostilities between the contending parties is worthy of the serious and immediate attention of her Majotty’s Government.*’ He meant to leave out the latter part of tho resolution of which he bad given notice : but he trusted the other portion of it would re ceive the sanction of the House. He thought the Con federate etates bad shown their determination and ability to support their independence. There coaid be no dif frroi.ee of opinion on that point j but there might be a flifferenceof opinion as to the propriety of oar mediation. He would first address himself to the origin of tho fearful war .now raging on the other side of tbe Atlantic ; he would then touch on the caueeu of that war ; he would then refer to its effects; next he would show that, as he conceive d, the end of that war must be separation ; and, laFtly. 110 v ould endeavor to show how humanity and our own Interests demanded that a stop should be put to that war. The honorable gentleman then alluded to the compact formed between the different independent States of the Union for their mutual convenience, the area covered by their territory, and the aggregate p* pulation. T’be trade of tbe country in 1860 amounted to $350,000,000. Many people were under the impression that disunion was the impulse of the moment. It was not so. It had been working for more than a quarter of a century. The Ponthtrn Slates were dissatisfied with the Union, and bad been protesting against the oppressive taxation of ihe North. Oo tho2l)ih of December South Carolina gave notice that she desired to withdraw from the com pact Be did not argue tbe question whether South Ca rolina, or any minority of ibe States, bail a right to with draw from tbe compact made for the convenience of all tho Slates; but Jin could And no clause in tho Constitu tion of tbe United States which p. evented any State from withdrawing when she felt herself aggrieved, aud cer tainly none which vented in the President of the Fedor&l Government a power to coerce those 3tat e s that did se cede. Tbe resolution of South Carolina was formal by the unanimous vote of the Legislature met specially to consider whether it was for the interest of that State to remain by Ihe compact. It was resolved to be for their interest that they should remain by it no longer, and three of their wost distinguished citizens were appointed to wait on Pierioeot Buchanan and his Government, aud [represent their grievances, state the reasons why the y coold no longer remain in tbe Union, and arrange, if possible, the terms of seraratiou. These gentlemen were not received by the Federal President. They drew up a memorial representing their case in respectfal but deter mined language, and sent it to the then Secretary of State; but it was returned to them unanswered. They reported, as tbe only course left to them, that the Go vernment of Waßhingt r n was unwilling even to hear tbtir grievances. South Carolina, still anxious to pre serve peace, and, above all, to avoid bloodshed, in the following Febrnarj rent the Attorney General to the Government at Be met similar tis&fie —he was not received, bis letter was returned. Other States, Eff-ing bow the Federal Government were resolved to treat the representations and cemoainte of 'South Caro lina, maolveo to fellow the example of that State, and withdraw frriu toe Union. The States of Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama. Florida, Louisiana, and Texas with drew, ar>d in March, 1861, met in Convention, formed a Pn-visioi a* Gov. tr-m*-nt. to last one year, and elected Mr Davis to bo President. These seven Confederate State*, anxious to avoid a rupturo, and, above all, to «>V'jd blooosbed, deputed three of their number to puceed to W aldington anil represeut tbeir griev esicis to the arrange terms, and settle all questions of dießareeroeot upon principles of rij ht, equi ty. and good faith. The commissioners arrived imme diht**i) after Preeiiir„t Lincoln h‘»d been inducted into office, and on tbe 12ih of March TDrj- -Axially communi cated their object to Mr. Beward. No reply was till »he 8t& of ihe following month, when they received a pfrrempt«. ry refusal. . President Davis published on tho 2flth of April a history of that mission and all the inci dents comecttd with it. Every boa. mocaber who read that f-tateni'i-t must arrive at the conclusion to which he had come, that tbeee three c?Ojmv*Biouers were shameful ly treated. Tbe message of President D*vii clearly show ed that at the earnest request of Mr. Sewurd, and with tbe view of promoting the peaceful settlement of ail di Ifi cultiea, the commissioners were induced to forbear press ing for an early answer to their communication. 9e cotdty, it «na stated that during the interview the conmiFFicpcrs were asrurod that Fort Sumpter, com manding tbe entrance to the port of Charleston, would be evacuated} that no measure which conld preju dice the Confederate Staten was contemplated ; that a demand tor an immediate answer would be pro ductive of evil ; and, lastly, that while promises were given in the most solemn manner by Mr. Secretary Seward, the Government of the United Mates was tecretly preparing a great naval and military expidbion, which bad for its object the reinforcement of Fort Sumpter, and which actually sailed while the com missioners were kept at W-ahington waiting for a peace ful f*ttien ent. The knowledge of that expedition reach ed the Confederate 6t» es ahl> two or tlireo days before its actual arrival off Charleston, Then tho people of that piece row to a mao, and it was not surprising. They saw their appeals for justice, their remonstances agrinst op pressive taxation, that, in fact, the prayer of 5,500,000 persons—for that was the population of tho seven States which bad then withdrawn—w»re to be answered only by the canr-cn’s mouth. Tho people of Charleston were then obliged* in self-defence, to lay hold of Fort Sumpter. Soon after that President Lincoln issued his first procla mation for 75.000 men to subdue what he farmed the rebel lion of tbe South. Then it was that North Carolina, Arkansas, Tennessee. Missouri, Kentucky, and Virginia followed tbe example of the sev.n first seceding States in rapid eu« cession. As to the causes of the civ -1 war, the suppression of slavery had very little to do wirh it Ifit bad, perhaps the pec pie of tbe North would have re ceived more sympathy from the people of this country. During tbe last Presidential election, the word slavery was u*ed as a mere political cry for party purposes. In his inaupural address President Lincoln declared, “I have no intention to directly or indireotly, in tbe question of slavery where it exists. I do not think I have tbe right to do so legally, and I am by no means Inclined to do it ” Such was the poiicv of Mr. Lincoln, and tbe majority of his Cabinet, aun they bad acted upon it. When General Fremont proclaimed the freedom of the slaves in Missouri he was immediately recalled from bis command. When General Hod ter took a simitar course in the districts under his control, hie conduct was at once disowned by the Government at Washington. Agam when Mr. Cameron as Secretary of War, in his report to the President, stated that one object of the war was the suppression of slavery in the South, Mr. Lincoln ordered that clause to be struck our, and the report ap peared without it. The Government or Washington would not even admit that the suppression of slavery in fie South was one of tbe objects of this unfortunate war The opinion of tne New Tork Herald might not be worthy of great consideration, but the proprietor of that journal printed it to sell, &Dd must therefore, write so as to suit tbo taste of his readers. When he was himself at New York, seme fifteen mouths ago, the average circu lation of that newspaper was about 120 000 daily. Re viewing very r<- cenrly the sermons preached on the day of humiliation, and prayer, observed in the Northern States, the New Tork Herald said that uegra s'avery was part of the Constitution, and the attempt to abolish it by the Congress or tbe Executive, wonld be a ■violation of the Federal compact- and would, moreover, be an imputation on tbe character of Washington and the other foundt-rs of the Republic, who aereedby a so lemn league and covenant that the rights of the Southern slaveholders should be guarantied forever. Tbe wricer disowned entirety that slavery had anything to do with this war, and combatted the argument that slavery was a sin. In the North there wan not, perhaps, one person outofttnwho oosired to see it abolished. They should view this question, not merely as benevolent, but as practical m*n The slave? in the South represented a property estimated at £500.000.000 Bterliog, and where wos the com pens rilon money to comefrom *f they were to be rnmucipated all at once? Each of tbe 34 States sent two members to tbe Senate, the smallest State sending two as ««-n au tne latest. On the other hand, me uumfcoe ©f members rAtmnaJ r—- .-.b *<> tli« Lower House wan emirriy regulated by population. The ratio of po pulation had been changed. In 1790, snorny auer me Constitution was framed, there wa« one representative to every 33,000 persons ; while in 1860 there was one to every 93.420 For many years past the tide of emi gration bad set to the Northern and Western States. Thus, in consequence of numbers being the measure of representation in the Lower House, ye&r by year the wealth, the Intelligence, and the commerce of tbe Southern States had been slowly losing their influence in that assembly. Between 1800 and 1850 the North had gained 31 Representatives, and the fouth bed lost four- Tho people of the South thus frit that they were saddled with Taxation, in the levying of which practically they had no ?eioe. The interests of the North and of the South were diaUMtficaHy opposite. Ihe South was purely ao agricultural ctfflntry, and its inierest was perfect free trade. The supo6M in terests of the North were in the direction ot pro tection. As the population of the North increased those Btfttes began to obtain an ascendency in Con gress, and then, for tho first time, in 1824, a protec tive tariff was Introduced. In 1828 that tariff was ren dered more stringent. As far back ai 1833, South Caro lina protested against the tariff, and gave notice of her Intention to withdraw from the Union. Sht- was in duced to remain, upon a promise that the tariff should be relaxed; but that promise was not kept, and In 1846 it was made still heavier. In addition to that, the Mor rill tariff had since increased the duties upon imports to an enormous extent. Tbe exnorta [root me United Staten in 1860 amounted to $350,000,000. of which no less than $250,000 000 represented the produce of the South. If it were true that exports must be paid for by imports, the South must either directly or indirectly be bearing an undue proportion of tbe taxation levied by tbe Federal Government. Bnt tbe people of the South alto complained that the increasing taxation was not levied for tbe purposes laid <low» iq the Constitution, but for tbe purpose of encouraging ihe iron masters of Peuu sylvaDia. and the manufacturers of New England. The evil consequence of that taxation was felt by them in two ways, because, while they were called upon to bear an undue proportion of taxation, they were also obliged to p&y an increased price for articles which they required from the North, and which they could obtain cheapor ai dh« iter from Europe. Ihe real causes of the preteut dhrupiicn were taxation without representation, and taxation levied not for the purposes of all the StAtes, but for the benefit of particular States. A very Urge pro portion of the cotton grown in the Southern States fouid ite way to thta country, and the stoppage of thu supply >ad created intense suffering here By tbe Uit accounts it appeared that tbe poor-rarest Ffcsfth wkblS*. In the pound. At Blackburn thare Wee* Btftjnt 15,000 parsons receiving relief; at Preston close upon I‘4ooo, and about 17.000 claimants upon the Relief Fond. The English people were patient, and bore their trials quietly, bat their patience and endurance must not be tried too far. [Hear, hear j He believed that the distress was greater than appeared from tbe sccounta in the newspapers; but the people krewwbat was the canse of tbePr sufferings; they believed that the flghtiDg in America could only re sult in the permanent separation of the North and South, and they looked to that Hobbs to express an opinfon, and to try whether, by mediation or some representation to the contending Powers, they might not be iodneed to re flect, if sot upon the injury they were doing to them selves, at least upon tbe serious injury they were inflict ing upon the people or this country. What was to he tbe end of the war 7 No one conld seriously believe that the South wonld ever be brought back into the Union. In March last, tbe Confederate Congress so lemnly declared the unalterable determination of the people of tbe Confederate States to suffer all the calamities of a protracted war, but under no circum stances would they again enter into union with those who bad invaded their soil and butchered their people. Even If the North conld overcome tbe armies of the South* there would be au amount of passive resistance, | such as van the chad in Now Orleans, which (t would bs j impossible to overcome. Snob was the unanimous fil ing throughout the Confederate States It was said at odo time. ‘Only let tbe Uuioo flag b» hoisted in any part of the South, and you will eoe the peop'o rally round it.” llut tbe Union flog had been hoisted at New Orleans and at Beaufort* where an att«mpt was made to open np trade, and the people would hare n othing to do with it. [Rear, bear.] Reunion was hopeless; and if we had arrived at that conclusion, then it behooved England, in concert, he hoped, with tbe great Powors of Europe, to offer mediation. Ho held hut odd oolti'on as to ibis war from the beginning*, iu proof of which he would read a Jotter which he wrote when the war broke out, and which had been extensively circulated In the Northern States. The lion, gentleman then read the letter, and proceeded thus: Independent of his wish to bob an end put to the war and the distress in this coun try brougot to a close, he desired to see the South separat'd from the North in tbe Interest of this country. They all knew that tbfe Soi-th would enter iuto free-trade relatione wish ns, and politically wo had been put to corstnnt trouble and subjected to constant threats frem the United States. [Hear.] Was it reall, the oase that the offer of mediation would be scouted by the North 1 Men of position, property, and intelligence dared not express an opinion tnere, because mob law reigned supreme. In proof of bow earnestly tho media tion of England was desired by tbe better class of Ameri can citizens, he would read part of a letter which he had receiv'd from New York only to-day, and which was dßtedJuly4. Tbe writer said: *» Wifi England be? it ate any longer to offer media tion'! Why, if she bad in tho first month of tbe war forcibly Intejfvrod, no grea’or ill-feeling cooW have bwjj shown towards her than has Keen shown under h«r msgnanizrous forboarance. Nor need a war be feared if you recognize tho South. * * • * Geld is at:10 pur cent, premium, silvor disappearing, * shin plasters,* or iradrfmen’sdoht tickets, becoming a currency, millions of irredeemable paper constantly issuing by Government, arid nii’lions more to come if war continues. * # * What is all this against tho stupendous power of Eng land 7 No, indeed, there can be no war short of Bog lard declaring it. # * * * * Is she afraid for her Northorn supplies of breadstuff* 1 Let her oeußiiJer that her demand for them is the life blood of onr agricultural States. They must sell to her. The probable loss of her custom alone would secure her fjom ar,> danger ou our part. We await her action in Fail dismay.” hear.] Such wore the sentiments of tho people; and he believed the Government of Wash ington. seeing tbe hopeless fix they have got into, would be glad to have some excuse for discontinuing the war. He bad received another letter from Brunswick, in the State cf Maine, dat'd also tho 4th of this month, in which the writer, a man of strong TTnion fooling, said he baw now th« war was hopelees, and he trusted the Powers of Europe would offer mediation. [Hear, hoar.] That genthman wrote to li?m not knowing that he had any intention of bringing the subject before the House. Would foreign Powers go with us in this matter! lie thougbt there could he no doubt of it The Emperor of the French, whose people were suffering from the step page cf tb‘ ir cotton suppling, was known to bo fnvorable. All that he Raked was that the Government, in con cert with foroign Power?* rhould offer mediation. Tbe South, he believed, would be willing to accept it— of courso, on tho basis of separation; and even the North, he thought, would not be unwilling. Seeing how our own psople wore suffering from this fratricidal war, he trusted that ber Majesty’s Government, either alono or in concert with other great Powers, would a»e their beet efforts to put an end to the terrible struggle which was now raging in America [Hear, hear.] It appeared strange and unaccoutituble that her Majesty’s Government bad taken no st-ps in tliatcirection. It was clear that the South could not be conquered, and it was still more clear that it could never bo brought back agaia Into the Union. He then fore submitted that tbe time had arrived when the Southern States ought to be re ceived into tbe family of nations, and be begged t j move “that, in tbe opini >n of this Bowie, tho States which have Beceded from the Union of the Bepnblic of the United States have so long maintained themselves under a separate and established Government, and have given such proof of their determination and ability to support their independence, that the propriety of offering media tion, with the view of terminating hostilities between the contending parties, is worthy of the serious and imue diate attention of Government ” [Hear, bear.) Mr. Taylor considered tbe course taken by the bon. member for Sunderland to be ill-judged, inopportune, and calculated to increase the feelings of bitterness and : irritation which already prevailed in the Nortuern Stitea j towards Great Britain. He complained that the sym pathy of the English public bad been enlisted by the press in favor of the Confederate States, altogether ig noring the cause of Blavery, which tainted those States and their institutions. The North, it was not to be de nied, bad recently met with considerable reverses, bnt in his opinion It was impossible, and contrary to all expe rience of the past, that twenty millions of people could he successfully resisted by five millions The one was superior in every material resource, whilst tbe latter was encumbered with a ttrrile population of four millions. He implored the House to abstain fiem giving its assent i to the resolution which tbe hon. msmber froA&nnder- I laud had invited it to pass. I Lord A. Yane Tempest supported the motion. He j considered that the restoration of tho Union was irapos ; sible; but if it was it would confirm slavery, which | separation would ameliorate, for the chief impediment ; to It was the fanaticism of the Northern Abolitionists, lie believed that the universal spirit of liberty which pervaded the Southern States would enable them to repel all the efforts of tbe North to subdue them, and expressed lii3 astonishment that those who professed to abhor sla very could- desire to see five millions of people reduced te a subjection which they detested and would perish before they submitted to. After all our neutrality, the Northern States hated us more bitterly than ever, and it was our duty and interest, on the pround* of humanity, to cultivate tbe alliance of the Sontb. It had always been ibe policy of this country to recognize the At facto Government. We had recognized the rights of all nations to remodel their internal institutions. We had done so in tbe case of the South American colonies, of Spain, of Greece, and other countries and we were bound by every cm sideration to treatin tbe same manner and recognize the States of America, Mr H. Foster said that if the forms of the House had permitted, he bad inteudtd to propose an amendment to ibe re! elution ol the honorable member for Sunderland to the effect, that this Home will cortainly support her Majesty’s Government in persevering in the policy of non-intervention in relation to the existing civil war in America, The honorable member had so changed the terms of bis resolution, and bo glossed it over in h 8 epee<h,that it was difficult to collect his real object. Still, if it was mediation, it was desirable to mediate in a manner which could be listened to by both parties. Every one must strongly desire that tbe war should Ik> stopped, and he should be glad if mediation was likely to have that effect. If it was, however, to be l attempted, the less said about it in that House the bettor chance it would have of being success'ul. But both the time and the plsco were singularly unpropitious for such ; t» »«*.,]*. No ooubc the South were fighting for iode- ; ptndcnce, and me itto rrasent Ultra becoming an independent nation. This being mo «% e. a hign epirittd people would resent any int*rfert-nc*, as we onr b* Ives had ulwnys done in tbe midst of our 'uost severe calamith s. If w’e desired to stimulate th*- North to the most desperate efforts we could not adopt a more in genious cr.urae; but, if we left them alone, he believed the North would in time find that it had taken upon itself a tpfik which it could not carry out. Mr. Whiteside was willing to admit that the question on which the House was invited to pass an ooiuion was one which mn*t be treated with great delicacy, but that whs no reason why the Horne of Commons should not discuss it. He could not go so far as to sav the South were wrong, or the North right, but he did not t-elieve that slavery, aud not conquest, was tbe cause of the war. The conflicting interests of ike North and South rendered the detfre of the latter to secede ex tremely profitable, hut that was not the question The South had seceded for reasons which were perfectly justifiable. It bad established and maintained a At facto G-vernment, and it had been the prac tice of this Government to recognize At facto Govern ments. In less than twelve months a Whig Government, because it had suited its purpose, had recognized Belgium, and it would rot do to say that tho civil war was still mgiug iu America, for the Hollanders wero on the point ot subduing the brave Belgians, and we did more than recognize that Kingdom. In strict conform! ty with our practice and international law, Lord Castle reagfa and Mr Canning recognized Greece and the Bpamsh colonies in America, and they were supported by Sir James Mackintosh, that that recognition was not inconsistent, bnt in accordance with a strict neutrality, u be United Staffs recognized tbe Spanish Republic some time before England did, because as alleged, their in terest, of which they were tbe safe judges, dictated it, and they alto fiercely threatened any Power that should presume to assist Spain. Tbe Federal Government was not, therefore, entitled to resent a recognition of the Confederate States, which, bo contended, prerelent, practice, international law, and every political and com mercial interest, required at our bands in a spirit, not Of inif-rvention, but of impartial neutrality. Mr. Gregory warmly supported the course of tbe Con federate States. He alleged that every pretext wiih which tbe North commenced the war had utterly failed, whilst tbe South had Bhown its determination to mam tain its independence. Be stigmatized in strong terms tbe conduct of tbe Federal Government, which revealed . 'the spirit with which the North whs actuated and the despotism under which it would, if it could, reduce the Sou*h- Tbe one was now fighting for its liberties and Its independence, the other for conquest and revenge, for the rake of which, it hod disregarded 'very national prin ciple-national solvency and national decency and hu -1 msnity. Mr. Seymour Fitzgerald moved tho adjournment of the debate. LORD FALSIBRSTON DECLINES INTERYENTION —HIS Lord Palmerston. I should hope, after the length to which the debate has gone, that the House will be dis posed to come to a division to-night—[cheers]—on the motion of the honorable member for Sunderland. The subject whi*h we have been debating is one of the high est importance, and one also of the most delicate charac ter—[hear, hoar,] —and I cannot think that the postpone ment cf the conclusion of this debate till next week can he attended with any beneficial result, either one way or the other. [Oheerß.] I confess 1 regret very much that my honorable friend has thought it his duty to bring this Bnbject under diseusHOD in ibis House in the present state of things. [Cheers ] There can be but ooe wish oa the part of every man in the country with rs*pect to this war in America, and that is that it should end. [Hear ] I might doubt whether any end which can be satisfactory, or which con’d lead to an amicablesuttlnmeut between the tw* parties, itrilhely tube accelerated bv angry debate* In tbisßouso. [Choe>s] Webavobad to-night the American war waged here, in words, by'champions on both sides. It isiiuite true that many things havo neon said which mustbe gratifying to the feelings of both parties now fightiug io America ; but, on the other hand, things have been said in the warmth of debate which must teud to irritate and wound the feelings of both sides, and it is in human na ture to think more of things that are offensive, than of things which are gratifying and- friendly. I confess, therefore, that I regret that the dahe** *»<« uccu wrought on, and I should earnestly hope that the House would not 0a..« »• n.. ...Uvu »r wj uuuoraOie friend, but would leave it in the bauds of the Government, to deal with :he future, content as I believe the country Is with the man ner in which the past has been conducted by them. [Cheers J I don’t ask Ibis upon the ground of confidence in the Government of tbe day, because 1 Think that what Ofel jsrty might have tbe rule in Ibis country—whoever might .it on these benches, it would be wise and ex pedient in the House to leaye a matter ol ouch diffi. unity, of such delicacy, and of such immense import ance in the hands of the responsible Government of 111. day [Rear, hear] to deal wiih it acceding to th» varying circumstances 9* the moment, and not by a reso. lniion to dictate and out ft specific course, and to tie up their hands, thus ta^. ne ®"™ e h ° F CommoDS the responsibility which oug- * “OP ol ** Jong to the Qoverpment. [Cheers ] The motion * non friend points to two courses—mediation auu acknowledgment. We have heard a very learned and well- Argued speech from the right bon. gentleman oppo 41M fmfbe question ef acknowledgment. lam nol going to diVpnte that if tbis country thought it right to take that coarse we should be perfectly justified in acknow ledging tho independence of tbe Southern States, pro vided only that that independence had been—ln the words which be wed— ** firmly aud permanently esta blished.” [Bear, hear.] Moreover I quite concur with him that onr acknowledgment of that independence, if we thought right to make it, would be no just cause of war, no just cause of offence on the part of tho United Staffs as against thitr country. Bur the cases which tbe right bon gentleman cited—more espe cially the case of the South American repubics —were totally different from that woich is now presented to our consideration. [Hear, hear] The South American republics were not acknowledged till a great many years after they had practically achieved and obtained their independence That was a war between them and Spain—separated by the wide Atlantic from her re volted subjects—and unable with any degree of power to re-establish her authority over them j and I believe it was neariy fifteen years—certainly a groat many years— before tbeir independence was acknowledged. But what was tbe state ol affairs fn this ca«e until tbe uncertain ru mors we have received lht< day 2 A fortnight ago it wa* doubtful whether tbe Confederates or the Federals would be in posse' roc of Richmond. It wax but a few days ago that we imagined that tbo whole coarse or the Mississippi was in the bauds of the Federals—we knew that New Or leans. and possibly Charleston, were in their hand*, and, I contend, that up to the present moment, whatever may be the opinion which anybody may entertain of tbe reeo lulion of this great determined nation of the South to flgbtto tbelastfo* tbe maintenance of its independence, practically, the contest has not yet assumed that character which would justify this country in assum ing that tbaj independence was permanently and fully established, [ubeers.] But, then, many people who talk of ac knowledgment seem to imply that that acknowledgement, if made, would establish some different relations between this country and the Southern States. But that is not the cose. Acknow ledgment would not establish a nation unless It were fol lowed by some direct active interference. [Hear, hear.] Neutrality, as was well observed by the right honorable gentleman opposite, is perfectly compatible with acknow ledgment. You may be neutral in a war between two countries whose independence you never called in ques tion. Two long-established countries go to war ; you acknowledge the Independence of both, but you are not on that account bound to take part in the oontest. LHear.] The right honorable gentleman argued that we ad taken a step towards acknowledgment by admitting tbat the South hod bolllgerent rights, but Vattel and all tbe best authorities on the law of nations hold that when a civil war breaks out in a country, and is firmly esta blished there, other naiions bave a right to deal with those two parties as belligerents, without acknowledging the independence of the revolted portion of the country, [lTeai\ hear.] Admitting that the war baa been established on such a fooiiug that eaob patty la entitled to be regarded by other conntrirs aa belligerents, the mere fact of oar having acknowledged that those tvro parties are boHige rents in tbo international sense of tbo word does not imply a step towards acknowledging one or other of them a? an independent nation. Nobody can be insensible for a moment of the vast importance to this country of a spee dy tetmination of that war. [Hear, bear ) We all kaow the privations and sofTeriogS which a great portion of our popnlation are eudurins iu consequence of that un fortunate war; but on the other hand, it has been well put by an bon. gentleman «ho spoke in this det>ato, that any attempt tn put an end tojit by active interference w mld only produce greater evils, greater Buffering!, and great er privatenfl to those who interfered. [Hear, hear.] Thereto no instance, I believe, in the history of the world of a contest such as that which is now going on iu Aimrica—a contest of such magnitude between two dif ferent sections of the same people. The Thirty Years’ War in Germany was'a joke to it in point of amount and magnitude. It was but the other day that I saw a map sent by the Quartermaster General of the Federal forces on which were markvd out the positions of 720,000 Fe deral troops Wo now hear that 300,000 more men are to be called into the field—making 1,000,000 of men on ODe side and probably there is some thing net much less *n the other Irritation and exasperation on both sides are admitted by all who have taken pert in the debate, and is that the mo ment when it can be thought that a Bnccetßful offer of mediation could be made to the two parties 7 [Hear, mar J My honorable friendsaid, “ I don’t care for that; we bad better offer mediation and let it be refused, and, it that were followed by acknowledgment, that acknow ledgment would ultimately lead to a satisfactory settle ment between the two parties ” I wish to gu-trd my self against anythin? in regard to the future. The events of this war have been so contrary to all anticipa te n. from time to time, that ho w mld be a bold man in deed who should attempt to prophnay from moot.h to month what character the war would assume. [Hear.] 1 believe the country and this (louse are of opinion that the Government has up to ihe present time pursued a wise and prudent course. [Cheers.] We Bhould be too happy if any oppnriunity should present itself which would afford us a fair aod reasonable prospect that any effort on onr part might be conducive to establinn peace between these two parties who are carrying on a deso lating and ftfHcting contest, but I think that the House bad better leave it to the discretion of the Government to judge of the occasions which may arise, and of tbe opportunities which may present themselves [Hear, hear.] It in upon that ground that, without going into any investigation of the rights on either side as to which may bo right and which wrotag, without express ing any judgment—because I think it is tbe duty of the Government of this country to abstain from expressing any judgment upon the two parties. I ask the n<»u*n not to sanction ibis resolution. If at aoy time we should be able by friendly offices to contribute to the establish ment of peace—it can he only by presenting ourselves in the shape of impartial persons, not tied by opinions either one way or the other, anxious oaly to promote that settlement between be two which may bo consist ent with the feelings and Interests of both. It is only in that w«y that we can render any service, and, in order to remain in that position, to enjoy that character, it Is ncceeß&ry that we Bhould avoid pronouncing any judg ment or opinion. I therefore do not follow the example of those who h&ve expressed opinions upon the merits of the two parties. I only entreat the House not to adopt the resolution of my hon. friend [hear, hear,] but to leave to the responsible Government tbe task of judging what can be done, when it can be done, and how it can be done. [Cheers ] THE LONDON TIMES ON THE QUESTION OF IXTBR- VEN'TION. The extraordinary news which was brought by the Glasgow.yesterday made Blr. Lindsay’s motion I&*t night singularly ill-timed. If the fates had conspired to de prive him of his long* wished'for opportunity* they coutd not have made events happen more awkwardly. During the greater part of yesterday the to«n was agitato-d by the news that on the 2d inst. the Federal army, under General McClellan, was on the point of capitulating, even if it did not surrender at discretion. This startling intelligence received general credence, and, even at the time we write, we know not that it is wholly un rue. The real position of General McCMlan’s army, and the remit of the series of battles which began on the 28th of June, will not be known to is with certainty for two or three days. Till more certain inteili* gccco arrives, men’s minds will remain in the most anxious suspense with regard to rhe Virginian cam paign and Its momentous issues. We cannot, therefore, but wish that Mr Lindsay had consented to withdraw bis motion, or, at least, to defer it until the Government and the Legislature bad learnt the full extent of the Federal disasters. It is of the highest importance that this country Bhould commit no rush and ill-considered act; that not even a word nttpred by any person in power should hereafter require modification or retraction. We are evid«»ily approaclirg a crisis when a most solemn decision will be demanded of tbe British people, and every step should now be taken with the utmost thought fnlr-een and caution. With regard to the nows received by the Glasgow, the public have the same means of judging a* ourselves We know nothing irore than Is contained in the very cir* cntnbtantial telegram, which we republish this morning, and ihe later news by the Arabia adds nothing to our acquaintance with these events. This telegram was in* terpreted by many yesterday to mean that McClellan had actually surrendered, bat it certainly represents no more than the opinion which prevailed, that McClellan was in extreme dancer, and that the Confederate commander was about to destroy his whole army. In the absence of any information on which to rely, It is only by a compa rison of the various pieces of news which have reached us that we can judge of the credibility to bo attachod to it And hero we must admit, that the fact of its coming from a Secessionist city was ratber unfavorable to its accuracy- The hopes &f tbe compiler may have given a strong color to the events which he announces. Another ci'cumstance of suspicion was the date r f the despatch. It purp tried to have come from Baltimore on tbe 3d. and to be founded on intelligence from Fort Monroe of the ray before Now, we had already re * ceivfd news from New Y*rk up to the 7th, the date of the l&tPftt telegram from Cape Race, and it saemed ex traordinary that events of such magnitude ahoild have been unknown in New York for five data after their occurrence. Whatever the skill of the Washington Cabinet in repression and mystification, it w»b hardly credible that so long a time should have elapsed without such portentous news having made its way to the North. It may be said, indeed, that tbe Federal Governm-mt controls the telegraph, and might have succeeded in keeping tbe danger of McClellan and his army unknown even f.»r five days; but we can nardly imagine that Mr Stanton himself would venture on so decided a measure. However, though circumstances seem to cor roborate the main facts of the telegram, they take from it Fomethingof its importance It appr Gorman, from whom the news came, wf tbe 30th nit., and was carried on boarf Fort Monroe tbe name day, so that f Generals. McCall and Reynolds, with most have taken place on that day (Moi As we learn from tbe Confederate ftccoi prison**™ wctb tafeen. it is evident tb&t Generals Gorman and Meade refers to bad been fought before they left, and t) suppose theee surrenders to be matters e battles of which we have had an acc we conclude from the telegram Is, ti have lost an immense number of mi mfcee amount of materia], and were in July, in extreme danger. Singularly > news received by the Arabia does not lubton their condition. Absolutely, l the two armies. given of the state of be doubted tbat McClellan lost a crei siege guns and vast quantities of militi couli not be transported over tbo swai flieht which ended 27 miles from Richmond, yet we have not a word of information concerning tbe great military evcDtsoftbe preceding week. Perhaps wheu the news papers and tbe private letters arrive we shall be better able to jnlge of the ability of McClellan to leave the shelter of his ganboats and advance once more on ibe road to Richmond. But iu this matter wo may at once state rur rvjmiion that for the present the siege of Richmord is at an end An armv so baaten as that of General .McClellan does not aeala sbnd up readily against itseiemy. Defeated, routed, anddrivoo mile aftfr mile, In four successive battles, the Federal army mußt for a long time be incapable of any forward movement Tbe theartillery, on which the North so prided itself, mustbe a matter ofs riouß injury as well a* cf mortification to the Federal. TbatGeuerat McClellan was to the enemy bv hia heavy guos, and hammer bis way into the Confederate capital, was tbe belief of every man at the North. For aloDg time all boasts of this kind mnet be hushed, and the Federal general may think bimself fortunate if. shot up in a nar row and swßtnpy pejffnMilA. be epcaoes destruction from the very weapons which be brought for the overthrow of bfs enemies. We wait with impatience for more extended acomitiid of these great events. But, tboush details may be want ing we have a sufficient knowledge of the main incidents i f the campaign. Tbe raising of the siege of Richmond, and the indefinite postponement of even the first success in a campaign for the conquest of Virginia, are advan tages to tbe Bontb which are not easily overrated Every m<m can see that tbe time draws uigh when our Govern ment will be bound to express its own opinions and the opinions of tbe public on t« is calamitonß strngffie. It is, indeed, a question to be approached with the care, bot. though tbe execution may require skill and firmness, the rrimiplo is simple enough It has been our habit— a habit j lift} tie* by ronton and international law—to recog bize Governments which show themselves able to take a pUreiii thecommunity of nations The force and conß;st«n -cy wbirh are demanded of a new Government have been fully shown by tbe energetic and gallant people who have just Achieved so great a triumph But still nothing will be gair ert by debates in Parliament on sucb a question. The best course is to I|Ave the matter in the hands of the Government, which we cannot doubt, from the speech of Lord Paimerßton last night, is fully aware of the import ance of the crisis, and is more ab’e to jndge tbe fitting time for artion than auy private individual Snil the opinion of the country mav well be elicited to sustain the Government, and we are bat uttering the thoughts of nine Enelitbroen out of ten when we say tbat Bhould it appear tbat tbe army of McClellan has been so totally defeated hs to be incapable of resuming offensive opera tions, then the propriety of treating the Conftderates as an independent people may be jußtly discussed by the British Cabinot. Further Details. The Daily Nrws and Star applaud Lord Palmerston’s views, and contend that tbe time for mediation has not arrived. During the debate on the Colonial military expendi tures in the House of Lords, tbe Canadians were re proached for negligence in providing a strong militia force.

Several amputations were performed during the voyage, and the sufferers appeared to be doing well.
