Foreign intervention in our civil war, upon the part of Prance and England, is again attracting much attention. From TV ashington we learn that our government has been notified, by the ministers of two leading European Powers, that the war must be immediately brought to an end. A fact of this sort demonstrates the hy poerisy of the powers in question, which have heretofore put forth the idea that there would he no intervention if there was a reasonable prospect of crushing out the rebellion. Ir seems, however, that the advice of a British quarterly has been followed—that intervention should only take place when it should become appar ent that the rebellion was about to prove a failure. ‘’lt will be gratifying to the Union men of the country to know that the administration is a unit against the world in arms for the preservation of our whole country.' 1 Shonld the deceitful government of England and the dissimulating French Emperor interfere in what exclusively be longs to oiir government, we hope that the above announcement may he verified, that the administration “is a unit against the world in arms.” But wo have our doubts upon this point. The late calling out of three hundred thousand more troops may be one of Mr. Soward'ssleek bits ot policy, intended to meet the contingency now ap prehended of foreign intervention. It is perhaps to let England and France see that we arc able and willing to prolong hostilities for the prostration of rebellion, and at the same time manifest an ability to contend against outside interference. If this be the object of the late sudden call for three hundred thousand volunteers, it is a good stroke of policy, but wc remem ber a similar bit of strategy on the part of Secretary Seward to have proved a mis erable failure. - We all remember the high ground taken by our premier upon the. capture of Mason aud Slidell, it was given out that under no circumstances would these lead ing rebels, accredied representatives of the rebel government, be given np upon the demqnd of Great Britain. In order to prove to the world tiiat lie was in earnest in tliis Mr. Seward issued his famous circular to the governors of the States lying upon the lakes and seaboard to immediately fortify their coasts and put them in a state of security and defence. — This circular of the wily Secretary went to En'gland in the same vessel, we believe, which carried over the news of the rebel ministers’ arrest. But what effect did it produce ? Nothing but the coldest indif ference on the part of John Bull. The ruse of our Secretary was too transparent not to be seen through by the English cabinet; and the only notice they took of the whole proceedings was a peremptory demand for the immediate release of the rebel ambassadors. Lord Lyons was sim ply instructed to demand the immediate release of Mason and Slidell, and in less than twelve hours after he informed our government of this tho rebel min isters were released by order of the Secretary of State. Since then we have heard nothing of lighting the “ world in arms, ” nor of the sudden ne cessity of fortifying our exposed points upon the lakes and seaboard. But should the English and the French interfere in our quarrel there is one thing very certain : the Cabinet, as well ns the country, must indeed be a unit to resist their interference. Thnt the people of the North would be enthusiastic in such a con test, we doubt not; hut as for the unanim ity and determination of the government we may be permitted to doubt. Whether McClellan is successful or not. in complete ly reducing Richmond, we believe that the sudden demand upon our government by the two powers in question for an imme diate cessation of hostilities would cause our Secretary and his associates to very 'seriously reflect before undertaking to fight “the world in arms. ’ ’ But to throw defi anee into the impertinent teeth of these powers is’not ..to incur a quarrel with the “world inarms,” but is the speediest way of avoiding difficulty even with themselves. And, should the intervention reported prove true, we hope to see our government take the lofty ground which she is expecl ed to assume “ To-save the further shedding of fra ternal blood” is said to be the touching appeal which England intends to make to ns to cease hpstilities. Her tenderest sensibilities are to be aroused, and our common blood, country, religion and lan guage are to be cited to show us the enor mity of our civil strife. This is character istic of perfidious England. When did Ehe ever spare those of her subjects who engaged in rebellion against her authority' When did she ever fail to rob the nations - when she could ot their liberties, and after massacre them for endeavoring to re cover their, lost inheritance. We all re member her mercy to the Canadians who rebelled in 1837. Her order upon that occasion was to “take no prisoners and to give no quarterand yet, in the face of this merciless policy, England affects to use, as a pretext for assisting rebels against our Government, a hypocritical appeal to our sensibilities. Let her prac- tice this moderation herself, and by her example teach us a policy which she has not, in her long career, ever practiced. Ges. Scott ox his ivayto Washington.

ANOTHER REBUKE TO BEN. WADE. On Friday last, in the Senate, the con fiscation bill being up for <co'nnj4e?ition, “old Ben. Wade,” and,.;others like him, undertook to lecture the conservatives for alleged slavishness, when Mr. Fessenden said “that if the Senator wa9 the vicege rent of the Almighty he would put trust in him and obey his directions, bnt'as he had no evidence that the Senator operated in that capacity, he should act upon his own judgment.' The rabid abolitionists are hostile to the Senate bill, because it gives the President large powers for par doning, and because it looks to imprison ment rather than to the death penalty only. Moreover, there must be trial and conviction precedent to punishment of any kind; whereas the radical programme assumed that the people of the South were all guilty of treason, and prescribed that all the rules of evidence should be overturned by refusing them to prove .heir loyalty. Some persevering partizans may endeavor to reconcile the House and Sen ate bill so as to insure the passage of some sort of a partizan confiscation 'measure, but it 13 not clear that the President will approve such a one as that which has al ready passed the Senate. Evidences accu mulate that Mr. Lincoln is restive under, the idea of being rode over rough shod by factions in Congress, or elsewhere, that are willing to let the Union slide unless tie fanatical ideas of emancipation and confis cation can be carried out. FROM WASHINGTON. Under the confiscation bill which has passed the Senate as a substitute for the bill from the House, full trial by jury, after indictment, is secured to all persons impli cated. In addition to the old constitutional punishment of death for the commission of treason, the bill prescribes other and more moderate punishments, which may be inflicted at the option of the court upon those convicted—as imprisonment for not less than five years and a line of not less than $lO,OOO. This is with the view) of adaptation to mitigating circumstances which may surround the eases of partie; unconnected with the formidable force of the rebellion, who may even be hereafter convicted. In each and every case of con viction of treason, however, the slaves of the party, if he have any, are to be freed, without reference to what may be the sen tence of the court. Of course all accused parties will have to be tried in the jurisdiction within which the oflense may be committed. With the disagreement between the two Houses— one having passed one bill, and the other another-—confiscation is probably as far irom a result as ever, 'file radicals are not at all satisfied with the Senate bill. It pays too much respect to established judicial principles. On the other hand, some of the more conservative members who voted for it, dislike its negro-freeing features decidedly, hut take it in view of other features, giving the accused such fair chances as will prevent a sweeping and in discriminate confiscation. It is considered doubtful whefhei the Housswiil concur in the Senate substitute for their confiscation amt emancipation measures. II is supposed tiiat a confer-’ enco will settle the matter. The tariff project does not suit the iron interest. '1 he Eastern manufacturers are content with it, for it carries the duties on woolens, cottons, worsteds, &<•., up to pro hibition. From twenty-four per cent, up to eighty per cent, is a great jump. But it so overleaps the mark that it will destroy all revenue from these sources. The Penn sylvanians now demand a prohibitory duty on iron, and they will obtain it. It is safe to predict that little revenue will be derived from the duties which this new tariff will impose upon articles which will come in competition with any of our homo manufactures. The Nashern Pacific railroad bill, which has passed the Senate, will probably pass the House, i t grants lands, but no United States bonds, to the company. The route, which was explored hy Gen. Isaac Stevens, is believed to be practicable, also one of vast future importance. This road, ter minating at Puget’s Sound, will probably supersede the contemplated road from Canada to Rritish Columbia, and possibly it may be made jointly by British and American companies. lon. The Rumors of Foreign Interven- The following is taken from a special dispatch from Washington to the New York Times. We'give it for what it. is worth : The question of foreign interference is agaip agitated here. All the latest advi ces, public and private, from England, in dicate a spirit of restiveness in that coun try on American matters more significant than any hitherto manifested. It is stated that the tone of the last dispatches receiv ed at the State Department is not altogeth er satisfactory, but nothing is said from which it could be at all inferred that the European powers designed taking any im mediate steps towards mediation; The de feat of the militia bill in the Canadian Par liament has notimproved John Bull’s tem per, and he will sieze upon the reverse at Charleston with as much avidity as he did upon that in Banks’ department. On this subject Hon. J. A. Gurley has received a jetter from a highly intelligent adopted cit izen of Ohio, who has baen in England for the past Bix months, spending much of his time in the cotton district. He says: Firstly—l have the best reasons for knowing that intervention in our affairs was determined upon by England and France some months ago, and for the rea sons, amongst others, I gave you in my letter of March last. Secondly—This determination would l have been acted upon before this had not the contest between the Monitor and Mer rimac taken Europe—the world in fact by surprise, and upset all the calculations of France aud England especially. They became alarmed for their own safety. Thirdly—Tho dread ot a Monitor fleet, which I understand we are now building, adds another to the reasons which deter mined these powers to interfere, and they will never permit this fleet to be comple ted if they can possibly prevent it. Fourthly—They will soon offer media tion, taking decided Southern ground well knowing that this will not be accept able to our government. It is not their intention or wish that it shonld he ac cepted. Fifthly—This being refused, they will send their combined fleets to surround our coast whilst there is but one Monitor in existence, knowing that this terrible little thing cannot be everywhere at the same time Sixthly—The first of October next, if not an earlier date, will find the French and English fleets on our shores, unless our army is victorious in the meantim., and the rebels defeated. The visit of Lord Lyons to England at this time is in accordance with and neces sary to the latter programme to confer witn the governments of both conntries so as to arrange the details of the expedi tion. Seventhly—The interference of these powers is altogether owing to selfish mo tives, not .that.eithercara for.ourcondition, although the osteasiUeAeeiwto be given for each interference will b# the “cease of humanity.” -',... 4 The-War on the Mississippi. Graphic and Thrilling Account of the Explosion ofthe Mound Olj. A letter from a young Baltimorean, on board the steamer Lexington, givesa thril ling account of the terrible disaster on board the Mound City, oh White river.— We make the following extracts: At precisely 10:03 we suddenly saw steam rushing from all the port holes of the Mound City, soon enveloping her com pletely. I turned away sick at heart, for I knew what an awful scene was being en acted on board of the ill-fated boat. When I looked again, a minute afterwards, the violence of the steam had already subsided and the water was full of men struggling with the swift current which was sweeping them away to a speedy dea'c, but far pre ferable to tho torture which they after wards endured. All the boats were im mediately lowered and sent to pick them up, and soon the poor wretches were try ing to crawl into the boats, while the re bels kept np a sharp fire of musketry and grape upon them, sending a shot through the launch of the Connestoga, which was filled with scalded men,killing and wound ing several. Soon the wnrd-room of our boat was filled with men shrieking with agony. In such n case everybody is a doctor, so I got out my knife and commenced cutting their clothes off, for wherever they were pulled off, the skin and flesh, which was literally boiled on their bones, came off with them. After gettiug their clothes oft' we deluged them with oil and flour, and covered them with raw cotton, they crying to us to shoot them and put them out of their pain. It made me so sink I was obliged to lr o on deck. When 1 got up the firing had ceased. An army officer had come down to the bank and told us that the land forces had surprised the enemy and taken their bat tery, just as they were about retreating from the fire of our boat. The Conestoga and the Spiteful in the meantime had towed the Mound City down stream. I went on board' of her" in tho afternoon, but I cannot describe the horrible scene which met my eye. The decks were cov ered with, dead and dying men, here and there skin from men’s hands and feet, with the nails yet attached; men crying for water! water! to quench the heat from the steam which was burning them inside. The Musselman, a small stern wheel bont wc had with us, went alongside of her to take on the wounded. 1 went into Capt. Kilty's room on the Mound City. A man lay on his bed gasping for water; I went to get him some; when I returned he was dead. We put some t'.-j scalded men on tho Musselman, and a quarter of an hour afterwards wo had to carrv out seven of them who had died. The Mnssolman started for Memphis in the evening, with fifty-eight scalded, accom panied by the Conestoga, with Captain Kilty, dangerously .'■raided. Paymaster Gunn, dying, tsince dead;) Doctor Jones, dying ; Mr. Young, pilot, the same, and I.ieut. Fry, of the rebel navy, (dangerous ly shot through the hack while running from his battery. 1 in Captain Blodgett's cabin, and the ward-room lull of wounded men and ntlleerS. The Musselman stopped on her wav up and buried twenty-seven, and by the time she got to Memphis seven more were dead. We buried fifty-eight that same night, and the men who were not hurt came to take supper on our boat, ami out of a crew which in the morning numbered one hundred and eighty-live men only twenty-two were left. All tha masters were scalded to death except the fiist musler. Mr. lianiol. ami he, being on the quarterdeck, escaped. All the engi neers were killed except the lirst assistant, Mr. Clemens, and he had gone.up on the Clara Dobson, also one of the pilots. One o! the master's mates was killed, the oth er badly scalded. 1 he ball that did all -this mischief was a 32-pound rifled, and entered upon the port side just above gun No. I, and. killing two captains of guns, passed clear through the steam drum and lodged in the forward offi cers' mess room. In looking at-that poor mess I thought that perhaps it was foreor dained, but may God preserve me from such a fate. An Incident in Mississippi. A correspondent relates the following incident which occurred at Ifienzi, in Mis sissippi, while the federal army was march ing through that. State: “Rieuzi afforded the division a bi vouaeking place for the night. Being my self without the menus to satisfy an ap petite made doubly keen by a long and hard march, T asked and obtained per mission u> visit one ol the neighboring houses in search of something to eat 1 crossed the threshold ol a neat two story cottage, and was met by a handsome young girl of eighteen summers, whose penetrating glances plainly told that she deemed my uncermonious entrance every thing else but civil. Dusty and begrimed with dirt incident to the trials of the day, 1 certainly was hardly in a condition to excite admiration; but when 1 made my wants known, with true Southern frank ness she offered me a chair, and subse quently the essentials lor cleansing mv face and hands. I shall remember the young lady kindly, first for her suspicions, anil second for her genuine hospitality. After supper, her father, a plain, blunt, but intelligent person, came in, and I soon found him to be a staunch Union man. In tile course of our conversation, I ask ed him why tho'people of Tishomingo county so universally deserted their homes. ' ‘For the reason,' said he, ‘that they were ordered to. ’ “ ‘Ordered to,' said I, ‘by whom?’ “Why,’ replied he, evincing in his man ner a surprise that I was not acquainted with the facts; ‘ why, by Governor Pettis. When the Union army was menacing the Confederate forces at Corinth, Governor Pettis issued an order that all parties re siding North of the line of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad should move their families to points South of it, under penalty of having their houses and house hold effects burned up. ’ “‘Was there no reason assigned for such an unnatural and arbitrary order?’ “ ‘None to the populace themselves, but it was dictated to the rebel command ers by the Governor, that such a move would.be politic, for it could be given out, in case Corinth fell into the possession of the federals, that the people were driven from their homes.’ “ 'And would a statement so ludicrously false have had any belief?’ asked I. “ ‘Mostassuredly,’ replied the father of my hostess. 1 The people in their blind infatuation believe all that is told them, and besides believing it, the report would have ameliorated, to a certain degree? the effects of the conscription act, imagining, as the conscripts would, that they were fighting directly for their own homes.’ “I further asked the farmer, or rather planter, for he is the owner of much hu man stock and many acres of land, how it happened that he did not move? ‘Well,’ saief he laughingly, ‘I must have been overlooked.’ He pointed to a double-shot gun standing in one corner of the room, with which he intended to blow the first man’s brains out who dared to molest his domestic quiet, and then abide the conse quences. There was no braggadocio about his words.’’ Steam without Noise.— The Hudson River and New York Railrdad Company are having a dummy engine built at Pat erson. N.

The virtuous indignation of John Bull at the woman order of .General Butler in New Orleans having been ventilated by members of Parliament, the following similarprder jhas been found upon then own statute books. The Metropolitan police act provides: Every person shall be liable to a pen alty ?f not more than forty shillings, who, within the limits of the Metropolitan Police District, shall, in any thoroughfare or public place, commit any of the follow ing offences: Every person who shall use threatening, abusive, or itisuUingbehavior, with intent toprovoke a breachof the peace, or whereby a breach of the peace may be occasioned; every common prostitute or night-walker, loitering or being in any thoroughfare or public place, for the pur pose of prostitution or solicitation, to the annoyance, of the inhabitants or passen gers ; and it shall be lawful for any con stable belonging to the Metropolitan Police force to take into custody, without warrant, any person who shall commit any such offen ie within the view of any such constable.” Further provision is made for imprison ing any persons, women included, who do lids calculated to create a riot. This is precisely the offence of these Southern women. They purposely did acts to cre ate a disturbance, and, as the local law provided for putting prostitutes in the cala boose, Gen. Bltlkr extended its provis ions to the female disturbers of the public peace. ITS* LINDSAY’S BLOOD MEABVHEB, yw _ The genuine article, prepared by the orig inal inventor, J. M.

REBELS OITGESERILED SPLEKDID XANffilrtElVe OF GES. ■cCLSLUH. EDITOR RELEASED, Fortress Monroe, June 30.—8 y the arrival of a gunboat from the James river fleet, the anxiety felt about Gen. McClel lan’s army is at last relieved, and we have been shown how masterly the young chief tain has accomplished a most difficult mameuvre, and out-generaled the rebels two to one. Of the past three days fighting which has been going on in front of Richmond we have had the most exaggerated accounts, but the news of to-day sets at rest all doubts relative to General McClellan’s brilliant achievement had there any ex isted. It appears that when the rebels made their attack on our right the plans for a flank movement of our army had already been matured. In order to deceive the enemy a stout resistance was offered by our right wing, which always kept falling back, drawing on the enemy as it retired. By excellent generalship this wing fell back upon McClellan’s left wing, and this was the crowning movement of the matured plans. Our fleet on the James river is partially stationed at City Point, and can assist in protecting Gen. McClellan’s army and all nis stores. On Thursday night last an expedition of sailors, made up from the James river fleet, started up the Appomattox river, to destroy the bridge of the Petersburg and Richmond railroad. The steamers Mara tanza and Jacob Bell were the vessels ap-. pointed by Commodore Rodgers for the undertaking. The two vessels started on their mission, but got aground, and the .1 acob Bell bad to be burned to keep her from falling into the hands of the rebels. The Maratanza was safely got off. A large fleet of sailing vessels has start ed from here to supply Gen. McClellan, under convoy of a gunboat. A number of secesli prisoners were brought to this post this afternoon, captured at White House. Washumiton, June 2.— The President, in accordance with the provisions of the recent act for the collection of direct taxeß in the insurrectionary districts within the L nited States, has issued a proclamation declaring in what States and parts of States insurrection exists, namely: South Caro lina. Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisia na, Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennes see, North Carolina and Virginia, except ing from the last certain named Western counties. I’ui :.a!■ i:i.i*iiia, July 2—Owing to the stormy weather the telegraph lines are not working very well to-day, and hence we are without our usual report of the proceed ings of Congress, as well as other news from Washington. Sr. Lot is, July 2.—The Democrat’s special from Memphis, dated 30th says : Advices from Richmond, this morning, state that the Confederate troops have heen driven from that city. No particulars. " isiiiMirox, July 2.—lt is understood tiiat C. C. Fulton, editor of the Baltimore Amer, cun, has been released from his tem porary incarceration at Fort McHenry. Special Dispatch to the iJuiittc. Philadelphia, July -’.—The latest in lormalion received here is contained in the second edition of the Washington Star of last evening. It says that ere going to press we are able to state that positive and reliable intelligence has just reached Washington, announcing that Gens. Keye 3 and Fitz John Porter have succeeded in getting into the important position on the [eft w>ng of the army of the Potomac they were ordered to take on Thursday last, their preparations to take which hastened the enemy's recent terrific attack upon General Porter’s brave and effective force, until it thus became certain here that they had beeu able to get into line, ns the left wing of the urmy, instead of remaining the right wing, as they were up o Tlmrday last. Jt was a matter of doubt whether the sacrifices we made in the great battle had availed aught. Now, however, it is clear that the point for which so much was risked hap been successfully achieved. Our loss proves to have been fhr heavier than we were led to believe yesterday from the statements of two or three gentlemen who lelt the White House on Saturday morning. If that can possibly be compensated for, the fact that the army of the Potomac now stands in the position from which its chiefs regard as making the speedy fall of Rich mond as inevitable, goes far to compensate the country for it. Our left flank now rests immediately on the bank of James river, while our right is probably on the impregnable point, un derstood to have been won by Heintzel man’s force on Wednesday last. The force lately, required to guard West Point and the White House, and interme diate depots, as well as the 35 miles of railroad from West Point to our front, now no longer necessary in their late positions, thus practically adding much to the acting fighting strength of our army, whose sup plies of every description can be landed direct from the transports almost immedi ately in their camps, under the protection of the navy's gunboats. We need hardly add that the new post tion of our army is upon high ground, on which it can onerate to far greater advan tage than of late in the swamps of the Chickahominy. [Special dispatch to Evening Chronicle.] Philadelphia, July 2d.—The to-days Tribune special, dated Fortress Monroe, the thirtieth, says the armed naval tug Dragon’' arrived from the upper waters of James river about mid-day to-day, with dispatches from Flag Officer Golds boroueh, who immediately consulted with Uen. Dix. Their tenor is understood to be that general McClelland right wing was at tacked with greAt impetuosity by General 'Stonewall” Jackson, whose men, with almost inconceivable courage, successfully charged our artillery, sustaining a loss in the exploit of probably not lsss than five thousand men. Our loss was very severe. It was re ported that Gen. Jackson was killed* that one of our Brigadier Generals was taken prisoner, together with an entire regiment. Gen. Fitz John Porter, being severe ly pressed, crossed to the right or western thelft Ch,ckahom,n y> the enemy taking On his left, McClellan, with much se vere fighting, had penetrated and ' through, “ White Oak Swamp ” wi( thousand men and one hundred pi, artillery, to a secure and advant poutioa, and anbeeqiently cut t a'lue of commanication with the River. >iV.a f!s- „ || ™ re PJ»W that during the two days’ fighting, General McClellan’s loss was ten, thousand. Under this head we particulars whatever. Colonel Alexander had come through'to James nver to select the new'base, and Turkey Bend had been decided [on. This is not far from’thirty miles from [Rich mond, and some ten miles above' City Point. The most prominent and important fea ture covered by the reports is, that Gen. McClellan has succeeded impenetrating “White Oak Swamp,’’ and in placing a very large force on tne other side of it. When the “Dragon’’ left, the wounded had commenced arriving on the banks of the Janies river. Several hundred had al ready congregated opposite City Point, where there were no preparations to re ceive or care for them. The gunboat “Stepping Stones then taking on a load for Old Point. A new rumor is in every mouth ; but I forbear to repeat any of tho great number afloat. I have embodied only what seems to be beat authenticated. While this movement must have advanc ed a heavy body of his best troops to with in four miles of Richmond, it was, at the same time, a bold push towards the point opposite Fort Darling, on Drury’s Bluff —the two principal ideas held distinctly in view on Friday evening, the hour of’the last intelligence from McClellan. Telegraphic communication beyond Yorktown is cat off, and the officials per mit nothing outside of official dispatches for the North to go upon the wires. Four p. m. —General Stoneman has ar rived here from Yorktown, having been cut off at White House. Part of his com mand came down by water last evening. An immense fleet of steamers and schooners, conveyed by a gunboat, is about to leave for Turkey Bend—the new base. Three regiments, under General Casey, will be taken up. Thlrty>Meventb Coaircw.

Mk.mphir, June 30.—The Avalanche this morning Ims an editorial based upon in formation from well informed sources in the South stating that a new programme has been determined upon by the Southern leaders, who, neither abashed by past dis comfiture, are moving themselves for a tremendous effect. Thfey consider thatthe territory recently given up has strengthened the North and correspondingly strength ened the South. They expected to hold Richmond, Virginia, but if they are forced to # yield them they have no idea of giving up but will fighfr to the last; and when they can fight no longer, instead of surrendering, instead of having their property confiscated and themselves disfranchised, they will make a direct proposition to France and Eng land to become a Colony or appendange. If this alternative is forced upon them, they will aim to broach the subjects of Napoleon rather than England. The Avalanche gives the above as the almost certain policy of the Confederate leaders, and Dr. Foulkner is known to be one of the best informed persons in the South, considerable credit may be attached to the plan.
