[Correspondence of The Press] WASHINGTON, Sept. 2, 1862. As many„,ef your Philadelphians are anions to learn what part the 90th Pennsylvania Regiment, Colonel Lyle's Regiment, took is the battle of Sa turday, the following statement is compiled from re liable,-sources : The regiment marched into Ma- DaSSati from Bristew - on Friday night about dark; from this they - marched to Centreville; about day-, light on Saturday they - matched to Bull Runk about five miles distant. When they reached there, about 9 o'clock, they stacked arms, and three days' rations were, issued to them. Orders,; were then issued for them to peek knapsacks and to leave ail behind bat their blankets and haversicks. The regiment was then' placed in marching order, and ix:arched two miles to the left. This waiabeut one o'clock. Firing was heard-on the right, myth. regliiientmatated in dm double-quick - about a mile further. This brought them to the scene of hes- Alitiee, and, after they formed in line of battle, the wh'ola brigade, consisting of the 26th N. -1t 90th Penna., 94th N. Y., and 88th received orders to support the sth Maineßattery, which-was firing shot and shell at the rebels. The pennon balls and shell flew thick mlt* around the,: b` t and over the heads, and even in the ranks ef the brigade, yet not a man deserted his post After staying here about ten minutes General McDOWell, unaccoMpanied by any of his 8 tag t rode' Up to General Towers, cominanding- the brigade toil+ vance to the front of the battery for the purpose ef making a charge on the rebels. The Maine bat tory ceased firing, and. the brigade advanced until they bad reached, a position in front of the' battery. .Here a large body of relmls were seen-advancing, ; and General Towere gait) the di:dors to open fire. They poured: a volley into the rebel ranks, r and then charged on him with the bayonet. The rebels: could not stand this. When they advanced to charge the Maine battery they came across the field in splendid 'style, utterly regardless of the Shot and shell raining around theta but= as < soon as' they received • the' volley Irani Gen.. Towers' brigade, and saw our men charging on them, they broke and fled r into the, !rods. Here the rebels were heavily reinforced, and, ra pidly forming into line, they made a &even:tent under cover of the woode on the' left. BeoMg ihat our troops were ;being outflanked, Gen. Towers gave the order to retire, which was done in good order, As soon as the brigade reaehed their former position the. battery . again , opened fire, pouring grape and canister into the rebel ranks, and Making large gaps in them. The brigade then held their-po sition until they received orders to retire. Lie.ut. Harrison, company - K., was' killed E and Lieutenant Raymond, company F r was wounded in the leg.- These are the ,only casualties among 'the officers: The regiment did not loie heavily, bat it iiimpossible at present to get a list. '1 FROM THE ARMY OF VIRGINIA. THE BATTLE OF 'MONDAY LAST. STONEWALL JAcESON ENGAGED. The Rebels Driven from the Field. Their Purpose to Seize our Trains Foiled. A RAID BY STUART'S CAVALRY ON TUESDAY. DETAIIB OF THE EVACUATION OF , FREDE. BICKSBURG. [From the Washington Republican, 2.d.] We learn from a gentlemar, who came from Fairfax . late Monday night, something respecting the situation of our forces at-that titre. Though this war is going on. very near na l --sonear that we hear the roar of cannon; and musketry—it takes a prodigious while, and is a very. Citnc t lwmtwii..o..get.the news, er•eejeast_te_get_wh. we may ,ell our readers is The Government, wisely, perhaps, has cut off almost all the sources of information from the field of opera tions, allowing no one to go from this aide to that, and it to only from such civilians as straggle in from time to time from the scenes there enacted, and from wounded soldiers, that we obtain any information. From this gentleman we learn that what was the left wing of our army, viz : McDowell'a forces, now consti tutes the right, and reds on Fairfax. Monday night, about four o'clock, an attack was made on our forces •at Fairfax, but the enemy was driven back by General Kearney's brigade. The firing, says, our informant, was heavy, though principally of mem ketry, and continued for some timo. What wore the ctt eusitiee, be could trotter% though he thought the enemy's lose was heavy. Ho reports General - Isaac L Stevens as killed. The object of the enemy was probably to cut off our sources of supplies, and to got between this city and our linee,and thus do all the damage in his power by a raid of cavalry. In this he was totted. As we write, we learn that the fight is renewed, and is now progressing. We shall probably have some further details before we go to press. Since writing the above, we learn from a gentleman connected with one of the New York regiments, who was taken prisoner Monday night, and escaped yester day, that the fight of Monday night was, as we supposed, commenced on the part of the rebels, to get pesseselon of our trains, in which purpose they were foiled, and re- • pureed with considerable lose. Ho escaped to this city yesterday. He furthermore reports that Stuart's cavalry made a raid on Tuesday, about 7 o'clock A. PL, to the left of Fairfax Court Nouse, and carried off about one hundred of' onr wagons: We asked onr informsnt whether our Is eine were sufficiently guarded. lie remarked signitl. cantle that our folks were not expecting the raid. Of canine not. It was the opinion of this gentleman that there had been no fighting on Tuesday, but others affirm that heavy cannonading was heard after 2 o'clock P. M. ANOTHER ACCOUNT FROM THE SAME BAPER. From -the woundel soldiers .who arrived in tke train yesterday afternoon, and other sources, we gather the following particulars of the late actions in front: About half past four o'clock on Monday afternoon, it was discovered that a cavalry force bad made its way aronad in the rear of Pope's army, when it made a dash at General Reno'e force guarding the wagon trains, for the purpose, it is supposed, of capturing the supply train, whith contained provisions and ammunition, of which the rebels stand sorely in need. Fortunately, they were discovered in season, and Kearney's division was sent down to drive the rebels back. He found the rebels in greater force than wag at first supposed, as be displayed not only cavalry but artillery and infantry. He ordered up reinforcements. He was soon supported by the divisions of Hooker and Banks, when the action became general. The fight lasted about two hours; a portion of the time the rain was pouring down in torrents. Our tortes drove the rebels a mile and a half, with great slaughter. The most of our information is obtained from those who were wounded in the beginning of the engagement, and, as a conseauence, we cannot ascertain the amount of lose sustained on either side. The following regiments are mentioned as having been engaged in this battle : The 3d and 4th Maine ; the 21st and 28th Massachusetts; 2d, 3d, sth; and Bth Michigan; 37th, 38th, 40th, and 79th New. York; 48th, 50th, 57th, . 83d, 99th, 100th, and 105th Pennsylvania, and the 20th Indiana. A rebel prisoner taken during the battle states that the rebel force engaged in this battle was that of Stenewall. Jackson. The remains of Colonel Holies, late commander of the • 73d Pennsylvania Volunteers, who fell in the battle on. Saturday last, were conveyed to Philadelphia for inter ment, in charge of Major Ridenour. He was a brave and• gallant officer. . In Saturday's fight. a .roost unaccountable blunder occurred. The 3d Michigan went into the battle with. 290 men, and came out with only 148, and more than three. fourths of this number met their fate by the fire. of the 20th Indiana Regiment, which lapped over their rear and poured a galling fire into them while on the advance. The first knowledge which the Michigan boys had of the presence of the other regiment was the bullets. in the back of their heads, arms, itc., nearly half the regiment having lapped across them. It is said of Co. It, 2d Wisconsin Regiment, that out of forty-seven men who went into action on Saturday, only seven reported for duty the neat morning, the rest haying; been either killed, wounded, or taken prisoners. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Last evening a train of cars brought some of the, wounded soldiers who were in the battle of Monday night. Their story Is, that tly) rebel attack was made for the purpose of capturing a-large supply train, which was on. - the road, abont.three miles from Fairfax Oonrt House. The attack was made upon Birney's brigade, the regi ments moot actively engaged being the let, 40th, 28th, . and 101st New York;.3d and 4th Maine, and 28th Massa chusetts. The .let and 40th Now York having but few officers, concentrated and fought on their own book," and in their own way. The Union troops drove the rebels at leaeta mile and a half, and after a very severe contest, which was fought during the storm, our troops rested upon the field, having gained a complete victory. STILL. ANOTHER VERSION. [Correspondence New York Tribune.] On Monday morning intelligence wart received at head,. (patters that the divisions of Hill and Longetreet intend ed to appear on• our right In force, and cut off, our sup ply trains. To prevent this consummation, the division of Gen. Reno was deepatched by Gen. Pope to Fairfax. Court House. It was also deemed prudent tb commence the evacuation of Centreville, toCover our base of ope rations, inasmuch as Gene: Bill and Longstreet were known to -be in force some distance toward Washington from the battle-geld of Saturday, and as a reconneis. sauce to the front had revealed an anticipated movement in the same direction by the enemy. The army of Virginia onnmenced retiring toward , Fairfax Court House on Monday, at 9. o'clock, Iteno's division leading the march, and McDoweire corps fol lowing. TER BATTLE BEYOND YAIILITAI, COMM 11.0BSE. As Reno's division was punish:lg its line Of march, and when within one mile and a half of Fairfax Court House, a heavy volley from a force of riflemen came pouring in upon them from the woods.to.tbo right of the road.

While thus chatting them, General Stevens was his. with a Minie ball, and. instantly killed, but not until theenemy had been routed. Captain Stevens, the son of the Gene. ral, was alto wounded in the hand. Kearney's batteries now epened'on'the rebel forces, causing et panic among the rebel ranks.

General Stevens was ex-Governor of Washington Terri tory, and is reported to have fought Moat gallantly in the , battle of Saturday, SKETCH Or .GENERAL. KEARNEY' It is doubtful whether the loss of any one man in tbe army could be more deeply felt than will that of-Maior General Philip Kearney. His division had an engage ment with the rebels on Monday evening r near Chantilly, Virginia, and_ he drove them more than a mile, After wards, it appears that while making a reconnoissance alone, he was fired at from a ravine andkiLled. His body was sent within our lines by a flag of truce, and will be' removed to New'Jersey for burial. Kearney was not a graduate of:West Point.. He was appointed a second lieutenant in. the let Dragoons,. March Bth, 1837, and rose to the , rank of captain in 1840 In the battles of 'the valley of Rodeo, he commanded the let Dragoon., and became famous for , his gallantry. In a splendid charge near San Antonio gate, August 20th, 1847, he lost his left arm: In October, 1851, he resigned from the army, and he lived in Europe for some years. But when the war. broke, out, he., offered his tier vices to the Government. and was at , once .ap pointed a brigadier general of volunteers. .At the last session of Congress he'was made a major general. First as Commander of a brigade, and then of adivision ' in the army of the Potomac, Kearney proved himself one of the most dashing and fearless of all our officers. In the battles of - the Peninsula be was always Conspicuous in reconnoitring—he exposed himself constantly. The rebel pickets were told to look out for 46 the one-armed man," and he has bad many narrow escapes. But at last he bas lost his life at the hands of a concealed foe—a life that he valued little, except as it could serve his coun try, but such a life as the country cannot well afford to lose. _ The correspondent of the New York Times writes the folloyiing interesting accountfreira Fredericiaburg, dated August 31: SHOCKING ,ROADS The - last day of August brings with It a reminder that we have reached the end of the summer solstice, as we seem to have reached a crisis in the campaign, against Richmond:'' - "A hea4i rein, which continued daring the fore part of the day, admonishes• us that the fall rains will soon be upon us, and with them that there will be an end to all effective use of .Virginia roads, Narrow, steep, crooked, sticky, and stony, one day's hard rain is sulk cient to render them almost impsseable for wagons and artillery:. The necessity of looking wheels while going down steep places scoops out deep holes in the roads, which soon , become. reservoirs of water, and grow. into, gullies and holes, whicliteat the, skill of drivers and the strength of ~the best army wagons to pass safely throtigh. Today the roads are simply execrable,' and two days more of rain would more effectually cut off our tt retro. grade' movement" than the most effective rebel force in the rear. Tinder • the orders of the War Department, General Burnside might have vacated this place a week ago; but reluctant to abandon a position which has been so `long "held, and which has been deemed 'of so groat strategical importance—and which might atilt - become so—he has moved with great deliberation, and has finally consented to fall back in strict conformity to orders—not on account of the threatening attitude of the eneniii's RBTIOGRAfiIi MOVEMRMT . Neantitne all the regimental baggage, material of war, and army"stores have been carefully sent away, and are saved: It is the first' apparent retrograde movement of General Burnside, but I do not believe he regards it al in any sense a retreat. The motives of it, if I knew them, I would not be at "Dirty to reveal. Suffice it to say, Fredericksburg has been abandoned; the three bridges, which wer&constructed for connecting the two banks of the river for our o'wn use, have been destroyed the rail road buildings on the Falmouth side, including•the offices of post-commissary. and , quartermaster, with a all amount of stores only, hays been forenamed by lire'; the machine shop and foundry in the town of Frelericksbarg, formerly used to so good advantage -by< the rebels, but more mend; occupied as a repairing shop for our en gines and railroad, has been blown up, and the large bakery establishment at Falmouth has also been burned. Solar as this position is concerned it is now being con verted into a I . howling wilderness " for the occupation of the rebel army, now "aeon to return, no doubt, to the TRE EXCITED POPULATION. The citizen. of the town were surprised while on their way to church in the afternoon, by dense volumes of smoke .arising over our-encampment. In fact, I was etirprbed myself, and received the fact, as a gentle token that I bad better pay my livery stable and boaid bill, and transfer my interests to the northern bank of the Rappa hannock. On looking about me I found an unusual. commolion onco more among the people of African de- Scent in the town, and a decided tendency of the tide of, emigration toward the wire bridge, which rune from the foot of William street Hoots of Secessionists congre gate at the corner of the street, but particularly opposite the bridges, to witness the exodus of the white as well as the black population. Several Union families ' who have recently been watched and threatened, took the smoky hint, and packed up. Ladies, dressed in their Sunday-go to.tneeting, looked oat of their windows, or congregated on the home-tops, to see the Yankees go out, and Stonewall Jackson come in. After so long and grievous a suspense, and hope deferred, who could grudge them the hour of Elysium 7 I met on the bridge pioneers with axle, and barrels of tar which they were industriously plastering along the walk, to render the structure the more inflam mable. GENERAL BURNSIDIS On reaching headquarters, at the Lacey House, I found all the tents had been struck ; the ambulance and army wagons were hitched up i . offisere'. horses were all saddled for a start, and everything betokened a decided movement. Infantry regiments stood in line upon the wide plain fronting headquarters ; long lines of wagons and artillery occupied the main road, and cavalry men sat in their saddles ready for the word "march." In the midst of this scene the commenting general was ob served walking leisurely. to and fro, despatching orders to the different regiments; and watching in calm offence the movements of the various commands. It was indeed • awl:mar of deep interest and concern to him. For days and nights he had watched with sleepless vigilance every ,rePvernent of our own and the enemy's forces, as they • affeetierTnerown-twesition, and something of weariness could be detected in We usual elude step. OUR PICKETS WITHDRAWN Meantime, all other arrangements having been com pleted, a mounted orderly was sent to the point, to order the Bth Connecticut, on picket duty, to retire. Colonel liarlan accordingly ordered his men to.fall in, and they immediately fell back on the town. When they reached the river, the railroad and wire bridges were already on fire ' and they went down and crossed °lithe only remain ing bridge, that constructed of canal-boats, at ,the lower part of the town. The provost guard had already been ordered to vacate the town. Shortly after flke o'clock P.M., the torch was applied to• the railroad station, which was already well consumed before the bridges were fired. Shortly before this was done, the Bth New York Cavalry came in trom the directien of Barnett's Ford, and reported that an ambulance and wagon train, which overtook them on the road; was hurrying forward with great speed, and reported that the rebels, in con siderable force, were behind them, having crossed just above, and were pressing on their rear. General Burn side and staff were the last to leave the ground, after seeing everything safely off, and proceeded along. the road. The railroad train was tilled with eciple;white and black, with their household goods, read] to move off THE MARCH TO ACQULA CREX.K, AND•SAFE dAtItIvA,T. Tho march from the river to Amnia Creek was very difficult, and occupied the whole night. The roads, flooded by the morning rains, and cut up by incessant travel of animals, vehicles, 'and cannon, were almost impassable in some places. Gan. Burnside kept along with the train, and seemed always in the place where there was the most difficulty. On several occasions he dismounted,' and, standing leg deep in mud, put his shoulder to the wheels, and called 'en the men' to imitate his example, in order to extricate the ambulances and wagons from deep holesin which they had become stalled. One ambulance was upset near Station No. 9, mid three or four persons who were in it narrowly escaped being killed. One or two other teams were disabled by the breaking of axles or whiffietrees, but nothing of a serious character occurred on the road. By daylight nearly the whole of the immense train was safely through the hills, and. encamped within sight of the landing. Without waiting for sleep, an hour of which he has scarcely expe 'Uncoil for forty-eight hours, Gee. Burnside rode up to the .hillsides overlooking the pltca;and • ealected positions where batteries were planted to enfilade the approach to the landing. As an additional protection ' s four gunboats lie at anchor within easy shot of the roads which must be passed in approaching the position. Gen. Burnside's Division is all right. FROM NEW ORLEANS.

[From the Cincinnati Gazette of Tueitday..] The rumors upon the street last evening, that Leering • tou had been evacuated by our forces, and that General Kirby Smith had taken possession, created the`most in tense excitement as the report , became generally known. The newspaper offices were crowded, as usual, to obtain the news, but it was , not until early in the evening that the news was confirmed. A-special meeting of Council was called, to consider the situation of Cinoinnatt, and the result we give elsewhere. , ' General,Lew. Wallace, with hie staff, left Oovington at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, on his way to I,exingten, to meet Governor Morton but on reaching Paris, he found a despatch from General Wright, ordering him to return and take commend of the troops at Ciacirt nati, Covington, and Newport." , At Parte General Wal. lace found the 99th Regiment drawn up in line of battle, and from6oo to 1,000 rebel cavalry within four miles of the town- The early train, which left this city at 6 A.

General Wright, who left this city on'Suaday morning, reached Lexington the same afternoon, and yesterday morning he determined, after examining into the condi tion of affairs at -that .zioint, to eITaCtIONA it. and imme— diately made preparations to do so. . About ' b o'clock, last evening, General 'Wright left Lexington, falling back on Frankfort with what forces." remained of General Nelson's command, some 9,000 or 10,000 strong; and we since learn that he has proceeded down, the Frankfort, and Lexington road to Louisville.- Despatches received last evening from the operator at Lexington, dated at 5 P.

'THE IiSBIZIIRE . OF LEXINGTON BY. THE REBELS. [From the Cincinnati Commercial of Tuesday , The tidings from Kentucky are not assuring. The rebels are substantially In poseession of the whole Blue Grass region, Including Lexington, and how much more of the State it is impoesible to say. The. Union people are' fugitive' flying for safety in' every.threction. The roads are represented to be thronged with men, women, and children, walling in vehicles of every description, and many farmers are driving their most valuable stock towards the Ohio river, to preserve it from tbe enemy. The weak tidings from Lexington are, that Major Os neral Wright, being satisfied that his forces a ere ion!. ficieut to resist the enemy, concluded to evacuate the city.. Tho troops were drawn in, and some of sheen were ordered to fall ' back towards Frankfort. Meantime, great energy was put into requisition to remove the pub tic etoree, and yesterday aftermion the greater portion bad been removed by rail and regular army transporta tion. Large numbers of citizens meantime had de-, parted hastily, carrying with them as much as possible of their most valuable portable property.' About five o'clock yesterday evening, the place was evacuated by the Union forces, and between- seven and eight o'clock tte cavalry advance of the enemy marched In quietly and took possession. 1 We do not know the extent of our force which had ac cumulated in that region, nor what portions of General Meneon's command had escapsd from the enemy. Our informants state, however, that large portions of the 69th Indiana, and other regiments, had arrived at Lexington, and that about three thousand killed, wounded, and mis sing, was the extent of our loss in the battle of Saturday. Many of the missing, however, would probably report 'themselves. They were coming in singly and by squads until Lexington * was evacuated, and tome had wandered as far as Paris. The country was reported full of strag glers, who bad loot or thrown away their arms. We are glad to know that Generals Manson and Oruft were not captured; but broke through the enemy wittide tachments of their troops, and that they hat re collected considerable portions of their commands. Colonel Mc- Millen, of the 95th Ohio, was wounded, but we did not learn bow severely, nor whether be was captured. Col. Lucas, of the 16th Indiana, who had been reported killed, escaped unhurt. His wife, who was at Oynthiaua yesr terday, received a telegram 'from him announcing his safety, Colonel Bort, of the 69th, also escaped unhurt. The report that Lieutenant Colonel Landrum was fatally wounded was not confirmed. Brig. Gen. Lew Wallace, who started for Lexington yesterday morning to report to Gen. Wright for duty, was intercepted at Paris by a telegram directing him to return to Cincinnati to take command. An blitoer who returned on the train with Gen. Wallace, stated that the 99th Ohio, which went up to Paris yesterday, were drawn up in expectation of an engagement with a strong detaoh ment of rebel cavalry, who were reported advancing on that point. The Colonel stated that he would give them a lively fight, and his men were in fine spirits. At Clyn aliens the Home Guards were under arms prepa ring for a fight, but large numbers of people were collected at the railway depot, seeking passage to the Ohio river. The alarm of the people was described as very affecting. Crowds were also assembled at all the intermediate stations, desiring passage to the Ohio. None were admitted into the special train, but the regular pas senger train, which followed, was detained far behind time by the throng of fugitives. All the rolling stock of the railroads was sent to Louisville and Covington. The most exaggerated report. respeoting the force of the enemy were in circulation, the telegraph operator at Lexington closing his communications with an assertion that Kirby Smith's army was thirty thousand strong; whereupon the operator took his instrument and eva cuated the premises. It ie probable that the whole rebel column does not exceed fifteen flu mend men, but may be Increased by Secession recruits in Kentueky. THE RICHMOND BATTLE-EXPLANATION BY MAJOR GENERAL 'NELSON. VIRGIN: UT!, Sept. 1. Ens. GazErra : I read.thiimorning, with much' ado nishment, your account of the disaster at Richmond, Kentucky, and yOur comments thereon. It is to be pre sumed that you desire to furnish your readers with the truth. .It is aa follows .. • . - ' First. The action was brought on by Gen. Manson, who was in'command at Richmond, against my instruc tions and against the instructions of Gen. Wright, the - commander of the department, which were that, the troops being newt were not to be risked in action until some time bad been spent in drill and discipline. Recond..No report was made to me of the approach of thirenemy In force till half past 2 o'clock on Saturday morning, the day of the fight. I immediately ordered a retreat along the Lancaster road, in order 'that the two brigades at Richmond might join the brigade marching from Lexington to that point, and to join Gen: Dumont, who was ordered to march to Danville from Lebanon. There would then have been 16,000 men at Lancaster, Danville, and Camp Dick Robinson, in a triangle of two equal rides of eight miles, and all these connected by good turnpike roads. The enemy would not have .dared to pass the Kentucky river with this force on'his flank. But Gen. Manson, without notifying me, marched .11ve miles to the front, with one brigade, to meet the enemy, supposing their force to be 2,500 strong; he met them from 10,000 to 12,000 strong. • " Third. Immediately after I received Gen. Mansonie despatch f rode to the field, riding fifty-two miles to get then: • I arrived alone at 2 o'clock P. M., and found the troops remaining with Gen. Manson in a disorderly re treat. By great exertion I succeeded in rallying about 2,200 men, and took a strong position. The enemy at tacked in front.and on both flanks at once; at the third or' fourth round the men, already much demoralized, broke and fled. This la precisely the case as it occurred. Fourth. -Iron make a stricture that I superseded Gen. L.. Wallace. and did not invite him to remain. I super seded Gen. Wallace by command of my superiors. I did invite him tooremain and take any command he chose. W. NELSON, Major GOneral. TO ABMS ! [From the Cincinnati Gazette J The time for playing war has passed. The enemy le now rapidly approaching our doors Kentucky has been successfully invaded, and Cincinnati Is now, for the first time since the oommencement of the rebellion, seriously threatened. It matters not who is responsible for the management that haa, at this stage of the rebellion, left the way open, almost free from obstructions, for the march of the enemy. This may be discuseedat a intern time. The danger is now upon us, and in preparing to meet it, we shall find enough to engage our whole attention, and command all our energies for the prevent. The great duty of the 'people now is to unite and rise like one man, and prepare to resist the approaching foe. It is not proper that we should waste our time or fritter away our strength in discussing questions as to the strength of the rebel force. What it is we do not know. We are aware, however, that Kirby Smith is this morning within one hundred 'miles of Cin cinnati, with a force which, if not formidable in itself, is at least a nucleus around which a large army may, and doubtless will, be formed. He will find thousands of sympathizers in Kentucky, who will rally to his stan dard.. Be may also force unwilling men to join him. Let vs prepare, then, to resist an army of one hundred thousand men. If It shall prove to be only the half or quarter of this, so mush the bet ter. In view of the. tremendous interests at stake, our prepnrations should be onihe most extensive scale. Ana - as mere is but little time for preparation, we cannot afford to postpone action a single hour. This morning, with the rising ann, our citizens should go to work.

It is the first instalment of the good news .we have been looking for from that quarter for some days past. • If Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee would remove the theatre of war from their borders, let their sons swell our armies as they advance in pursuit of the enemy, and very soon we shall have an overpowering and invincible force in the field, enabled to bid defiance to the hirelings of Lincoln, and clear the Confederacy of the hated foe. LATE FOREIGN NEWS. THE ENGLISH PRE SS ON AMERICAN AFFAIRS. THE GREAT REBELLION From the Louden Timee, August 19.] If the people of America would only sit down and calmly consider the canoes which have raised them during the last half century from 3,000,000 to 30,000,000, and made their country, unlike so many other lands, favored with the most lavish gifts of nature, proverbial for its prosperity and progress, they might derive from the re. fiection conclusions which would lead them irresistibly to a policy of peace and mutual conciliation. Americit owes much, undoubtedly, to the whidem of those great and enlightened men, the fathers and founders of her republic. They devised a scheme of temperate lib erty, checked and controlled by every contrivance which might • prevent its tendency to degenerate into licentionsnese. To the worn-out victims of arbitrary power they offered equal laws, equal rights, a light taxa tion, a freedom from debt, and from the necessity of fo reign war. No wonder that the world stood amazed at the spectacle of so much virtue and so much happiness, and gladly turned aside from the vicious circle of war and tyranny, In which alone the politics of Europe ap peared capable of revolving, to a nation blessed alike by the wisdom' of man and the beneficence of nature, and capable of realizing, as far as is possible on earth, the wildest dreams of the poet and the noblest aspiratlona of the philosopher. Not to any peculiar fertility in the race which originally inhabited' her, but to the attrac tion she presented to . emigrants, doee America owe the position which she held but a year and a half ago. Does it never occur to her that the prosperity which has been gained by these and similar causes is liable to be forfeited by reversing them? Let those who have broken asunder every tie which bound them to their native land, and crossed a stormy ocean to bask in the sunshine of American institutions, to enjoy the fruit of their own labor in unquestioned peace and unbroken Security, say which of all the hopes they entertained the events of the present melancholy year have not utterly deceived and falsified. They came seeking for peace, and they are involved in a war which, for the enormous scale on which it is carried on, the frightful* loss of life which it has occasioned, and the bitter exasperation , which it has called forth, may challenge comparison with the. most disastrous' conflicts that have decimated and degraded mankind. The Thirty Years' war reduced Germany to a desert, and cost, Schiller tells us, the lives of 200,000 warriors ; but the American struggle has res. lized in a single year the desolation wrought by the Austrian, the Bavarian, the Swede, the Dane, and the Frenchman, and happy would America be could she but estimate her loss for one year at the amount of the butch eries of Tilly and Wailenstein. Nor is this a momentary outburst of fury. A meeting to which significance and im portance wore given by the presence of the President of the United Slates resolved, on the etti of this very month of August, in the caidtal of what used to be the United States, that, rather than witness an overthrow of the Union, they would prosecute the present:war until their towns and cities should be desolated, and they, meta that are dear to them, should have perished with their pos. senior's. This is the spirit of the North. Mark the opinion of the same meeting with regard to the spirit of the South! We are convinced, they say, that the leaders of the rebellion will never return to their allegiance, and, therefore, they should be regarded and treated as irreclaimable traitors. The practice of Napoleon Is revived. War is henceforth to main tain war, and the beautiful province of Virginia is given up to indiscriminate plunder. This must, of course, lead to reprisals, and robbery and murder are evidently let loose to revel through the land. Peace has fled, and every day that the war continues, instead of bringing it nearer to a con elusion, seems to render every chance of accommodation more and more impoesible. America will net be sought henceforth by emigrants in search of peace. Personal liberty, the right to express one's own sentiments, and to regulate one's own actions!, was an , other of the blessings that man wearied of the arbitrary Governments and artificial societies of Europe sought on the sacred soil of America. They sought, but they have not found it The first effect of tbe war, long before any one could have foreseen the magnitude of its scale or the bitterness of its animosity, was to sweep away that one institution on which personal liberty depends. Before any serious' effort was made to humble the enemy the Government of the United States filled. its prisons with discontented citizens. The first thing the Ameti-.- can Eevaution ericted was the Bret thing that the' French Revolution destroyed—a Badge. The civil courts in vain Interfered. Their jurisdiction was tram pled in the duet by military violence. And now, as if there was not enough already to remind us of the Old World, the conscription, which English readers know only by the experience of foreign countrler, is put to full force. America trusts no longer the voluntary energies of her citizens, and impresses them for a service which money to any amount to which it may be offered cannot bribe them to undertake. Not only freedom from im prisonment, but „ the right of every Mau to seek his own happiness in the way he thinks boat," so confidently stated in the Declaration of independence, is thus de stroyed by a single word of a single man, who assumes to himself the tremendous power of draggfug from the ordi nary ptirvits of life 000,000 of his fellow-citizens, that they may' pass through the fire to the Moloch of civil strife. No Oriental deepot ever ventured on so tremen dous a stroke of power, and no people of European ori gin, except the democracy of America, ever submitted to , it. Turn from the question of personal liberty to the hope of physical well-being. In a fortnight from this time will commence throughout the United States the collection of taxes more ruinous in their nature and in cidence, and more vexations and inquisitorial in the method of their collection, than ever modern times have seen. As if this were not enough, all the transactions of life are embarrassed, the relations between debtor and creditor disarranged, and the intercourse with foreign countries rendered almost impossible by a system of in convertible paper issued in defiance of all principle and experience, and submitted to with the moat perfect apathy and indifference. These measures have produced their legitimate effect. Already people are flying from the land which was once the desired of all nations. The con►ariptlon has restored to England and other European countries many Bub- j..cts who little thought to have ever needed to plead any other nationality than that of their adopted country. Canada, which has been for so many years passed by with contempt by the millions which Hooked to the more popular institutions of the United States, has suddenly become a land of refuge, and thou seeds are re-emigrating to escape that very Government which a few months ago they were prepared to extol as the beet and wisest upon earth. But the war pursues its course, and the people bear with a tameness absolutely incredible the destruction, one by one, of all the hopes end ad the illusions which had led them to the other side of the Atlantic. There Is, no doubt; something sublime n the spectacle of a nation so fervently wedded to one idea that everything else this 'world can give seems trivial and insignificant in comparison. Instances have not been rare of communities that have perished almost to• a man for the purpose of pre serving liberty; but liberty is among the very first things which America has seen fit to sacrifice. To the Union—that is, to the resolution of embracing a wholo continent under a single Government—America is sacri ficing its present happiness and its future hopes. Rather than be a State of moderate dimensions, the North will proceed to any degree of self-immolation that may be required. It would be a noble sight were the end worthy of the means. As it is, we stand aghast at this wanton act of destruction, and at the intensity of that national vanity which can thus sacrifice to some vague imagina tion of territorial greatness not only all that makes a na tion great, but all that makes it happy or respected. DBFZNCE OF•THE UNION [From the London Daily.„News, August 19.] For months past the heaviest accusations have been brought against the people and Government of the Northern States for their obstinacy In adhering to their own views and convicticns of the war, In opposition, as it was repeatedly affirmed, not only to the opinion of this country, but of all Europe. This refractory Government and people were urged and implored by every variety of warning, entreaty, and persuasive argu ment to abandon their fixed idea of defending the Union and listen - to the prudent and peaceable counsellors who insisted on separation. Their obduracy in refusing to listen to this advice hes called forth no small amount of noisy lamentation and indignant reproof. A contempo rary who, in the Interest of the South, has constituted itself the candid friend of the "North, has taken the lead in deploring and denouncingthls fatal obstinacy. Its frequent homilies on this fruitful theme have been very varied both In fcirm and subetance. The obdurate Ameri cans were at one time entreated with the unction of sudden friendship, and by every motive of humanity, to bear the voice of reason crying aloud in our contompora ryos open columns. At other times they were threatened with every national evil--theloss, to a ruinous extent, of men and means, of wealth and territory, - repcitoAten and Position, if they_still refused to be moved and influenced by Muropean advice. Yet- all was of no avail. The Americans, intent on the one object before them,- have pursued their course heedless alike of warnings and en treaties. They have persisted in taking their own view of their own affairs, and, so.frir' as they are ,concerned, our contemporary and his allles. . are no better than a voice crying, in the wildernees. This was no doubt bard to bear, especially to a disinterested patron and critic, conscious of the best intentions, and our ondem porary was driven at length to the use of rather strong language. . The. Northern Government and•people were - stigmatized as " besotted" rind,“ insensate," as "drunk with pride" and "mad With passion." This bitter expe rience was not, however, without its uses. Our contem porary did not faii, of course, to point the moral sug- 4 paten by such a tiorirnfut and instructive spectacle. While the. Americaneosere denounced in unmeasured; terms, readers on this-aide ofl the Atlantic were bidden to. mark that. this brutal indifference to the opinions audg advice of:others was the. natural result of democratic inetitntiobs. Tble wee all very. 'well ac long as it lasted. But those who confide in a capricious oracle must be prepazedto abandon their opinions ate moment's notice.

While recognizing thoes deeper facts of our national life, they have, however, ceased to pay any practical regard to the load-mouthed traducers of English sentiment, or, indeed, to depend ie. " any degree on European opinion. The attempt to support this startling dogma touching the absolute dependence of the Americans on European' opinion," by a reference to Mr. Seward's despatches, is just as futile as the dogma itself; Every one 'mows that these despatches were written not to influence foreign countries, but simply to affect the conduct of foreign Governments, and especially of the Western Powers. They were-directed not against sentiments, but against acts; and it is notorious that very early in the conflict there was ample ground for Mr. Se ward's precautionary remonstrances and appeals. Before any of the despatches referred to wars • written, representatives from the rebel States bad made a formal demand for their recognition, and• a member of the House of Commons had given notice of a motion in laver of this demand. Similar attempts bad been repeat- - ed mere than once, and it was well known that one of the Western Powers was suite disposed to support them., It was an obvious duty, therefore, of Mr. Seward and hie • Government, to urge on the European Powers lathe ar gumente against such a course. They only desired, in • theinterest both of America and Europe, to limit the war to their own continent, or, in other words, to prevent any European intervention. That was Mr. Seward's sole object, and, whether the means adopted to secure it , were the beet or not, be bay been, so far, enemata!: TEE PRESIDENT'S CALL POE VOLUNTEERS.- [From the London Times, August-20.] • If we look attentively:--as all Europe is looking—at - the American war, we shall discover an extraordinary contrast between proceedings and results. The end,•tua less it be ouch an end as the Federal. still refuse to con template; I. no nearer than at first, and, psdeed,• may be considered as more remote than ever; -whereas nothing could have been more rapid or complete than the con sumption of means. In the celerity of its - course thisrwar has been marvellous enough to satisfy even the American appetite for exaggeration and singularity. It is little more than a year ago thatthe belligerents of the north represent- , ed a nation of 20,000,000, with a inilitary force, regular and local, of 1,600,000 men ; an untouched exchequer, burst ing.with specie, and general resources which Mr:Seward could describe as «uuoahausted ae reconCy as last May. Bow does that nation stand now, after lees than • eighteen months of Indecisive war? : Its gold has va nished, and not only its gold but ite silver, and such baser metal as entered into the coinage of the country. Heir its fighting men have already been absorbed, and of that ball' it is said that a fall half has either been disabled or bag - perished outright. It was the toast of the Federals that they had near 100,000 troops in arms, and forces amount ing to an aggregate of 660,000 did really figure in official returns If we wore to suppose that the President, in his present cal for reinforcements, designed only to bring the Federal armies up to their original strength, it would follow that every man •of the early levies has been lost, for Mr. Lincoln demands 600,000freah troops, or all but as many as have taken the field from the beginning. This, however, is not the correct view of the case. The - assumption is that the North has still between 8001000 and 40,060 men serving in the field, and that the new levies would raise the Federal hosts to , something Like a - million. That these forces' are not yet raised, and exist only in the demands of 'the Government, is a cirongt- - stance of which the reader need hardly be reminded, but if the conscription should be successfully enforced, the exhaustion of the population will be such as-in so short a space of time has never been effected in any country be fore. At least nine-tenths of its fighting men will have been sent into the field within the first eighteen months- - of a war. Mr. Lincoln began with 70,000 • volunteers, which numbers were raised to 700,000, as the exigenoies of the undertaking began to appear. He now -asks for 1300,000 more, making 1,300,000 In all, whereas tie entire fighting .. population of the Northern States' could hardly he reckoned at. more than the 1,500,000 before mentioned:. The militia of the Union, which was supposed to re- - present tie mars of the people capable of bearing arms and not entitled to exemption, comprised,' by the returns of 1859, just 53,589 officers and 2.038,520 men. But the secession of the Southern States re ducal this force by one third, leaving 1.500,000 only • to the credit of the North. and it• is from this stook,. be it remembered, that all the Federal levies, whether styled regulars or militia, must, for the most- part, have been already drawn. Mr. Lincoln has not got his million and a half untouched to fall back upon in big • present nee:realty. He has been drawing upon this-very fond ever since the war began, and has drained it half. dry. The - work was commenced with rdititiemen turned into volunteers for the occasion, and was continued by . men who, but for Ench duty, would have been evadable • for duty in the militia. The militia of the American States, in tact, represented a etandiugdenee en masse of . the young and active portion of the population, so that what in Furopean countries is reserved as a last resource againet the extremities of national peril has been half a - racked by the Americans in the first few months of a civil war. But will the President's new drafts be honored? Will the'new levies •be forthcoming 7 . That depends oh the temper of the people, and the actual strength of the mili tia'regiments. Except by speculation on probabilities, we have no means of estimating the balance still remain• fog to the credit of that force on which Mr. Linooln.has been so largely thawing. We can readily understand that when 700,000 volunteers were celled for and obtain ed; they must have come principally from that clan al ready stamped as the lighting class of the nation—that is, from the militia ; but whether the numbers of the militia were afterwards completed again from lees eligible re- crofts, or whether the battalions were left in• skeleton condition, we have no means of saying. In many in stances we know that militia regiments marched off to the Federal camp entire, and in very many others their main strength must certainly have been transferred to the volunteer service. A correspondent remarked, last week, that if the militia had furnished all the Federal troops up to the present time, Mr. Lincoln's new call • would leave' a margin of just 1(.0,000 •men unexpended out of a comprehensive national levy—a drain absolutely . without example Yet we believe that, substantially, thisis the truth of the case.
