A few days; since, when conversing with the editor of ---L, a most , reliable-man, on the AnteriCan trouble, I txpres, , ed my amazement that with all the demonstrations of anti-slavery sentiment in England, there should be such gyrupa- ! thy , for the South, - and so much •of 'cool- I mess towards the North, and that there i should be such confidence in the'success ~ If the South, He fixed his eye on me - for a moment most searchingly, and then l' said, " I can 4xplrin it..all. I tell you!! that the programme of the secession was ; well knoWn here in England before a sin-. . Op blow was struck in America. "This I 'can hardly believe." Believe it or not, as you please; . but Iknottilt. A Member tlf Parliament, in this very room where we are now! sitting, detailed the whole ' plan to me :last winter, and he assured me • that it is l aS known •to a number of the Members •of Parliament._He then stated.' that the army and navy . would , be dis-• persed—thatthe treasury would - be emp tied and brought into debt—that the arms and munition ,would be removed to the forts of 'the South—that these forts 5v0.31(1. all be seized by the troops of the Confed erates—that they would rush upon -Wash ,ington; holding it by military force, and thus break up the Government and de- I.stroy the Unidn—that the South were all .united, and that they' had the entire Dem ceratic party North as allies, so that there would be no hope for the North. They must submit ito the terms. the' Sonth should dictate," • " I am much obliged to • Sou for this information, but how on earth • - "could you get it ?" " The South had ilkir agents'here, authorized to column. ricate and to act: These, under pledges of secrecy, and perhaps with speciql ap. pliances appealing to self-interest, reveal ed the plan. When any man enquired of the embassador.for information, this . ora cle was , dumb. 'When they applied to the consul, it was all confirmed. And when the secession began and progressed, as the programme stated, with nothing to impede it a s tong as. Buchanan's term lasted; and wh en Lincoln was with diffi culty inaugur ted, and the capital threat 'cued—when Lalttmoreand Virginia play 'Al the•part marked out for them in the bill of fare, do you wonder that the feel ing was, that the secession world be a suc cess ? Do you wonder that editors spoke as they did in their columns, or that men of business and manufacturers felt as they dill, or that Members of Parliamentlwere forward to, make motions, or that Lord jolin .Russell made 'haste - to' recognize them as a ' belligerent power ?' ,-- 1 But the .programme has not all been carried ou t,: - and probably will. not . be..

THE LATEST WAR NEWS. ' Es-Gov. 'Stevens of Washington Terri . 0 Terri tory, reached this city this morning. He climes to offer his services to the Govern- • meat in -a militaiy capacity; He was formerly in the United States Army. Gov. Ellis of NCrth Carolina, who died recently, seemed-to a person who met him at Richmond a few weeks ago, sad and de jetted, asif the' condition of the country and the prospecs of his own State weighed upon his mind. ' ' • ; The victory gained by the army of Gen. McClellan at Rich Mountain has been actively followed up, and is now crowned 14 what seems to, be the final defeat of the Rebels in Western. Virginia. On San Cay, after a hot , and most fatiguing parsuit of the retreating enemy, Gen. Morris's column came np with Ihem at Carrack's Pad, near St. Gorge. There m fight, short and i 'sbarp, to k place. The c t . Rebels were completely rou et}, and made to . ly in utter' confusion; 200 of them have been killed,including their General, Garnett, who fell while . attempting to rally his panic-stricken forces; 1,000 pris. ()tiers have'been taken, and , all the bag gage and camp equipage hate fallen into our Lands. Upon the side Of the National treops the loss was 'l3 killed 'aria 40 4oUnded. _The defeated Rebels comprised the crack regiments. of Easterit Virginia, aided by Georgians, Tennessecans, and South Carolinians. • It is believed that Gen. Hill, whil.holds a position along the line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, wiil cut off the disordered remnant of the Rebels, thus closing the• account of Se cession in that section of Virginia. ' Gen. Robert Selden Garnett, who was killed, as above narrated, was a Cadet of 1837 ; Brevet 2d Lieut. in the 4th Artillery in 1841; assistant instructor in infantry iactics at the Military Academy,- from .fuly, 1843, to Oct.,, 1844 ; Aid to Gen.

Though we have no positive informa tion to communicate touching the advance Of tll4 army upon the way to Richmond, the movement of troops and all the ma chinery of war from Washington across the river goes on with increasing energy, and the important act cartnot be very long delayed. ; From Richmond we learn that Jeff.
