Another Letter from Ur. Bussell.
The London Times of the 20th ultimo brings ns
another letter from the special correspondent of
that paper. We extract all that portion of the let
ter which can be regarded as valuable to the Ame
rican reader:
THE REBELS STRIPPED OP THEIR PRETEXSIONS.
Washisotox, August 5.
cc Let us only hold on till October and we are
■Safe.” That, or something like it. was said to me
•over and over again in the South by men who play
no inconsiderable part in the mystery drama of the
■Confederates. And when I asked one of these gen
tlemen, more than twe months ago, what chance
there was of the North giving tho South all that
time, I was answered almost in these words, “ We
•are bound to go to the assistance of Virginia. The
Whole of the northern frontier abounds in good
positions, which can be fed by the rail from the
South. The Abolitionists will come and givo us
tiattle. We are certain to whip them if they at
tack us, and the North will then learn it can’t
•at once overrun us, as it fancied. The leaders
will pause. There will be a reaction up there.
We will work all the harder, and all the bet
ter for our victory, drilling our men, and con
solidating our resources. The Northern cities
will become discontented. Foreign nations will
ask when the cotton ports are to be open. The
North will have no reply. We shall be better able
to fight in November than we shall be to fight in
•June. Every week’s delay will add to the com
plications and weakness of the North, and the end
•of the year will find them further from their aim
than ever—divisions in thoir councils, even dis
turbances in their populations, while we, inspired
by the approach of success, will exhibit increasing
•energy and unanimity.’’ Apart of the programme
Las been already accomplished, but it does not
follow that the remainder of the prophecy will be
fulfilled With as much nicety.
So far, the result of the action of the 21st has
been the prolongation of the war in America. The
•effect it may have had abroad will be known in a
'few days more- Jt is plain now that the Confede
rates were not only really nnahle to pursue their
■advantage, bat that they were not atfirst aware of
tts extent. They suffer from deficient transport,
.and are better prepared for defence than for at
tack. Their army was almost as much "scared,”
to vse an English word in an American way, as
the federalists, if the reports are to be believed
of confusion, wavering and retreat in their ranks,
and of the passionate exertions of the officers, as
well as of their losses. In fact, the Confede
rates stand before the world stripped of a
food deal of the strength of which they
oasted in actual numbers; and it is a poor
cover to their weakness to put forward the as
sertion that only a small portion of their force was
-engaged, when it is notorious that they had sent to
all quarters for reinforcements, and, above all, when
it is considered that, by using all the men attheir dis
posal, they could have farced the mass of the Fede
ralist-army to surrender prisoners of war, and have
•occupied the capital. Their operations up to this
time indicate hesitation and want of vigor; but it
is just possible they may be preparing to strike
some great blow.
THE REBELS XOT CONFIDENT
There is less of that wild, guerilla sort of work
•between the two armies than was formerly the case,
but the attitude of the Confederates is not that of
a very confident or aggressive force. One does not
hear either of the vigorous advices to drive the
enemy from the sacred soil of Virginia, which were
so rife, nor of the hot menaces to take Washington,
nor oven of the earnest promises to liberate Mary
land and other afflicted portions of the slaveholding
sisterhood. There may be policy in this, and, not
withstanding the growling opposition of one or two
papers in the South to the men and measures of the
war, the influence of Mr. Jefferson Davis i 3 quite
sufficient to induce the press to keep its peace, or
adopt any tone he may suggest in furtherance of the
common cause.
BEORGAXIZATIOX OP TIIE FEDERAL ARJIV.
The army of the United States is undergoing a
complete reorganization in the face of the enemy.
The old army of volunteers and three-months’ men
may be looked upon as annihilated, or, at all events,
•dissolved. It wonld be carious to ascertain how
anany of them will re-enlist, even under different
officers. The affair at Manassas not only destroyed
McDowell’s army, bnt it gave a heavy blow and
great discouragement to the very spirit of the Ame
rican System, by which men were placed in positions
they had no fitness for, and large masses of armed
•men were assembled whom it were delusion to con
sider as an army. Mr. Davis saw the mischief long
ago. and. by special act of Congress of the Con
federate States at Montgomery, he seized the power
•of appointing officers.
It may seem strange that the soldiery should not
■feel proper respect for tho men they had selected
to command them; bnt the fact is that such a mode
preelection, particularly in the lower grades, was
injurious to all real discipline. If an officer insisted
on obeying the rules and regulations of the army,
be was regarded by his nominators as an ungrateful
fellow, who was using the power they had given
him to vex and harass them; and he, too often, in
a spirit of retaliation and in ignorance of the preper
means of enforcing a respect to which personally,
perhaps, ho had little claims, resorted to gross
language, abuse, and harsh treatment, and incurred
the positive contempt and hatred of men who took
little care to conceal their feelings.
DISCIPLINE
It is hard to teach Americans discipline. Their
regular army has been for the most part composed
•of Germans and Irish. The people are averse to
obedience on principle; and even children, as I
have observed, particularly in the North, are less
•manageable—“biddable,” as mothers say—than in
the old-fashioned country where the fifth com
mandment is held in respect. Master Pickle and
Miss Pert are fond enough of saying ■- X Won’t” all
•over the world, but the breed la unusually large in
America, and disobedience seems to pass current
for independence. And, as the child is the
father of the man, so Sovereign Smith on prin
ciple rebels against obeying tho order of Save;
reign Brown; Kicks in his inner man, recalcitrates
morally and even physically, and only succeeds by
the pressure of a self-applied duresse. “ Sergeant,
will yon come and look at this man’s pass,” called
out a sentry at the long bridge the other day, “ do
you think I'm going to shout myself hoarse for
you?” And when the sergeant did arrive,the
sentry, who had been sitting down when I came
op, used bad language and threatened to report
him. Yesterday evening, as I was riding through
Georgetown, I saw an officer “failin’’ hismentogo
•on some patrol or relief. They were drawn up by
the side of the street. “ What nave you got in that
bottle?” said the officer to one of hi 3 men.
“ Whisky.” “ Let’s have a dram,” quoth the affa
ble subaltern. “Don’t take it all, then,” re
sponded the proprietor, taking from his haversack
the black bottle, which had been detected by the
oagle eye of his superior. The officer held it
up to the light, gauged the contents, smelt the
mouth, aDd then took a long pull, which was fol
lowed by a sonnding smack of the lips, and a “Fust
rate” of great intensity. The bottle was restored,
and then “ Shoulder arms—by the right—wheel
quick march,” and away went bottle, officer, and
men. . ■
It would be very unfair to assert that such offi
cers are common, and such practices usual; but
that there is on questions of discipline an extraor
dinary deviation in principle, sentiment, and prac
tice in the American people from any other mili
tary people requires no proof when we see Colonel
lUchardson, in an official document respecting the
•conduct of his troops at Manassas, accusing his
senior officer, Colonel Miles, who was in command
•of a brigade, of being drunk and incapable on the
.■field, and Colonel Miles in reply publishing a state
■znent. which appears in all the newspapers, in
which he says he was not drunk, and prays God to
forgive his accuser. They vrill be taught by ex
perience, and the sweet uses of adversity—bitter to
{hem —will force them to bend to discipline in order
that they may conquer; and if they desire to
■carry on the campaign, and escape the Caudine
■Forks, they must stoop, as people free, intelligent,
and brnvo'as they are have done, to the thrall of
■order and obedience.
m'clellax’s reforms.
That much can be done by the judicious exercise
■of antbority in enforcing military rules and regula
tions among them, as among the rest of mankind, is
■conclusively shown by the great changes and im
provements effected in the army of Washington, and,
above all, in the city itself, by young General
McClellan, who bids fair to be the next President,
if his success is at all commensurate with the onor
■mous praise and flattery which, much against his
will, are forced down his throat. Before nis nomi
nation the streets of the capital presented a spectacle
the like of which was probably never seen in any
civilized city. A routed, demoralized army, with
just sufficient equipment to enable them to bo a
terror to civilians, and to inflict death and wouuds
in their drunken quarrels, crowded the. thorough
fares, formidable only to those whbm they werep
intended to protect. The hotels and bars were
-filled with officers whose regiments were in a state
of complete disorganization The small trades
people trembled for their little stores. Suddenly,
■out comes an order, which X give entire, lest it
anight be said the words I hare used exaggerate
the condition cf affairs at tile period iu question.
[Here follows a copy of 0 enorul McClellan's
■order forbidding absenteeism from camp among
■the officers of regiments around Washington.]
COLONEL FORTER.
Colonel Porter, an active officer of the regular
army, and a man of great determination and vigor,
at once organized his patrols, and, though the guard
bouses may be full, the streets are empty. He set
to work with such speed that Washington, which
went to bed in very poor spirits one night, found
that the evil had vanished in twenty-four hoars,
■and that next night she could sleep in peace. That
the steps taken were vigorous, and that they were
requisite, will appear from another order, issued in
support of the former:
# * * *
[Here follows General Order, No. 1, directing
.a vigilant patrol of the city, and commanding
officers and men to stay by their regiments, &e.,
Ac.]
THE FORCE ON ME POTOMAC.
General Lana, who commands the Spanish troops
in Cuba, has been oyer here on a tour, and ho ex
pressed to me his profound astonishment at the
state of things visible in the camps at the other side
of the Potomac. lie was here, however, at a bad
time-just after the flight from Manassas. Hi 3 cri
ticisms. however, on lazy sentries, on slovenly and
ill-equipped troops, on dirty arms and accoutre
ments, were just. Above all, he was amazed that
in an army of recruits there was no drill or exercise
to be peen. Company drill is not much attended
to; the battalion drill is of the most elementary
character; and, indeed, with the exception of the
skirmishing at Cairo, I have never seen anything
but ordinary advance in line, or marching past at
slow time, or at tliv double in columns of companies
or of subdivisions, and suet common movements.
This generally results from the ignorance of the
officers ns much as from the incompetency of the
Tank and file. General McClellan is talking about
brigade drills and field days, and there is some
nonsense attributed to him about drilling by trum
pet, which means, I presume, that he is about to
have more attention paid to bugle notes in giving
orders than is at present the case.
The new levies, as far as I can judge, are not
equal to the departed three-months men, and the
camps are eertainly not as well filled- There arc
about twenty-four battalions of infantry of all
:Sorts, and eight squadrons of cavalry in the capital
and around it on the left bank of the Potomac,
up to the'Chain Bridge. There are some thirty
battalions across the river, and some 700 sabres, the
whole force being probably under 45,000 mon, not
including Banks’ column at Harper’s Perry, or
the commands of General Butler and of General
pix, at Baltimore. Of the forty-nine guns which
McDowell’s army took into the field, twenty-fire
remain in the bands of the enemy, and there is
■Some deficiency in artillery, which Government
IS doing its best to Supply. General McDowell, X
am glim to say, remains in command of the troops
at Arlington, although serious accusations have
been made against him in the papers, most, if not
all, of which were quite unfounded. What could
be do with the materials he had, except, as the
President said, “ drive the locomotive as he found
it?"
THE WAR TO GO OS.
I am not quite certain that the silence which has
obtained in Europe in reference to the conflict will
not soon be resented as an impertinence and an in
sulting affectation of indifference to that which
Americans regard ns the greatest contest the world
has ever seen. No one can be honestly indifferent
to the results, for they must affect Europe, just as
any groat disturbance in any State most produce
an impression on the rest of the world. It is useless
to say that wc arc not jealous of the grandeur and
glory of the United States, for the national vanity
would regard the thing as impossible. It is, indeed
impossible to regard with indifference the fight
which has such enormous interests and great prin
ciples involved in the issue, but it is unfortunate
for the United States that it has by turns affronted
nearly every Government in Europe, and left to
itself only the natural sympathies of the people for
those who appear before them as the friends of
liberty.
There is one thing to be said about civil wars—
they do not last long. It is probable that the “ ox
ceptionalism,” if one may use the word, on which
the Americans rather pride themselves, will not
prevail in the case of the strugglo between North
and South. ■ Each of the contending parties, how
ever, believes it is sure to win. The voices from
the South are, to be sure, rather deadened, and
those of tho North are swollen and blown out
through penny trumpets and brass whistles, but
there is still reason to think that both are bent on
“having it out.” And, indeed, the North must
do so, even if separation comes; for thore would
not, and could not, be an honorable pence if it
followed an unavenged defeat in a contest wherein
tho victors had announced beforehand that their
opponents were destitute of conrage and manhood.
It would not be possible for the North to live on
terms of decent amity with the South if tho leaders
on both sideß were to agree toapeace.to-morrow.
The violence and triumphant jubiiatipfefif the con
querors would render it a mere armCnce of short
duration. Those who can see the reconstruction of
the great republic in the warring elements of this
great convulsion must believe in some new atomic
theory, and in some novel chemistry of political
affinities.
As I passed the State Department, the other day,
I observed on the ground great columns of marble
in wooden coffin-like eases, lying by the roadside;
near the White House there was similar food for
ruins. Above the unfinished dome of the Capitol
rises a great machinery of scaffoldage and leverage,
motionless and lifeless, and around the very build
ing in which Senator and Representative keep high
debate lie the vast fragments which at some future
day arc meant to supplement arch and dome—the
ideas Of a conception not yet brought into being.
There are, then, two sorts of ruins—those of the
thing which has been, and those of the thing which is
not yet, and may never be at all. It was strange to
sec that all the effect of the work of years could be
produced by the materials of work unaccomplished.
The public buildings of Washington are sur
rounded before they are completed by the evi
dences of what they must be when they shall have
been destroyed. Before the Republic has finished
its temples, the worship of the deities to whom they
are erected is assailed by terrible heresies. The
Capitol can never see within its dome tho Senators
and deputies of tho Union, of which it seems no
inapt type in its aspiring incompleteness.' Can
any, even of the Powers most menaced and affronted
by the Republic, rejoice in its researches among the
fragments? Certainly England has not by "word
or deed within her borders exhibited a trace of the
passions attributed to her by many bitter enemies.
X 0 FREE COTTOX TORT DEMANDED.
The reports industriously circulated in some
American journals that Great Britain has demanded
or solicited the establishment of a free port for the
exit of cotton are untrue. There is no foundation
whatever for such statements, which are prepared
by the same people who originate the stories of
Admiral Milne’s despatches and views in reference
to the blockade. The indifference to foreign politics
which has marked the proceedings of the Congress
has been a suitable commentary on the mode in
which American affairs have been treated in Europe.
Mr. Sumner was severely rebuked for alluding to
the probable effects of the increase of the Morrill
Tariff on the sentiments of France and England ;
as if the Senate regarded such an allusion as a con
fession of weakness or an indecent introduction of
an unsuitable element of consideration.

CITY ITEMS.
Trade Movements.
As we gradually enter the business season it is
becoming more apparent that those of our merchants
who aro in a good condition for it, will do an excel
lent fall trade—perhaps not quite as heavy as somo
former seasons, but more profitable. Houses com
manding a large cash capital have at this time, for
obvious reasons, a great advantage over others.
The silk and general fancy dress goods house of
Messrs. Vi. S. Stewart A Co., No. 305 Market street
(whose card appears in another part of our paper
to-day), is one among other establishments inPhila
deiphia, embraced in this fortunate category.
Having, with characteristic mercantile shrewdness,
avoided, in toto, all trade with the South in ample
time to save their books from the melancholy record
of Southern repudiation, and being in oommand of
a large active capital—the fruit of their own busi
ness success—they are in a position which gives
them such advantages, both in buying and selling,
as their patrons will not fail to appreciate. They
are already driving a very active trade; have a
superior stock of goods, and upon the whole are
offering substantial inducements to good buyers.
Centenary of St. Peter’s Church.—The
one hundredth anniversary of St. Peter’s Protes
tant Episcopal Church will be observed in that edi
fice this morning with appropriate roligious ser
vices—morning prayer, a sermon by the Rt. Rev.
Dr. De Lancey, formerly rector of the churoh,
now Bishop of Western New York. The services
will commence at 10J o’clock, and will be partici
pated in by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Odenheimer, Rev.
Mr. Leeds, the present rector, and others, and at
the close a collection will bo taken for missionary
and charitable purposes. As this is one of the oldest
churches in Philadelphia —the second built in the
interest of the Protestant Episcopal denomination,
having been originally erected as a “chapel-of
ease” for Christ Church—the occasion will doubt
less be one of unusual interest. By the way, Messrs.
McAllister & Brother, No. 728 Chestnut street, have
brought out, in their usual excellent style, stereo
scopic views both of the exterior and interior of
this quaint old edifice, and life-like card photo
graphs of the two bishops—De Lancey and Oden
heuner—who are to take part in Us centennial ox
ercises to-day.
Old Established Bookbindehy Wo pub
lish elsewhere the advertisement of Messrs. Samuel
Moore & Son, Bookbinders, Jayne street, between
Eighth and Ninth, and Market and Chestnut streets.
The job work of this establishment, being one of tho
oldest in the city, is very extensive, and we know, ex
perimentally! that llieir style of binding magazines, illus
trated papers, periodicals, ,t*e., is ns excellent as their
prices are moderate. Give them a call.
A Fact.— Everybody praises the superior
styles of Gcntu’ Dress Goods, at C. C. Dittrich A Co. 1 *?,
Continental Merchant Tailor?, Ninth street, below
Chestnut.
Removal.— E. IF. Carryl & Co., manufac
turers of Silver-plated Wares, and dealers in House
furnishing' Goods, Army TnillKS, Cllllip UtCUSiIS, ftc.,
have removed to No. 715 Chestnut street, directly oppo
site their old stand. au3o-6t
Military Uniforms.— There is, perhaps,
no department of military business in which there has
been a more marked improvement than in the clothing of
soldiers. Not many years since officers and private^ M ere
clad in garments which were almost skin-tight. They
•wore leather stocks, which wore worthy of the name, for
they kept the wearer in tribulation; wiiile their padded
breasts and tight sleeves made volition a matter of great
difficulty. During the present M ar, such of our volun
teers as procure their uniforms at tho Brown Stone
Clothing Hall of Bocklull ft Wilson, Nos. 603 and 605
Chestnut street, above Sixth, obtain Clothing that is per
fectly eney, substantial, and becoming. The firm named
have gone largely into the business of making Military
Clothing, and their facilities enable them to fiU the largest
orders in the shortest possible time.
President Lincoln has declared that he
will not leave Washington (willingly, we suppose,) during
his term of office, unless the Mar be first closed; when,
we understand, he contemplates a visit to Philadelphia,
where he intends to procure for himself a magnificent
suit from the poptdar Gift Clothing Establishment of
Granville Stokes, 609 Chestnut street. At this fashion
able emporium garments of every stylo and quality are
kept constantly on hand, or made to order at short no
tice. With every purchase a handsome gift is pre
sented.

Sumpter, who reported that they hud captured her off
Puerto Cabello, with part of a cargo of flour, tobacco,
Hce, lard, &c.
The Governor gave orders that the bark should pro
ceed to sea again within twenty-four hours, in accord
ance with the neutral position assumed by Spain. The
bark accordingly Milled, but the prize«iii»ster, not know
ing wlmt to do M ith her, and having lost both aneborg on
leaving, ran her ashore and abandoned her a few days
afterward, about eighteen miles to windward of this port.
Assistance Mas immediately .rendered by the authori
ties, anil after taking out a portion of her cargo, she M as
got oft and brought back to this port. Her cargo has
been stowed in the Custom warehouse, ami will be soli I
fit a future day to defray expenses incurred. She is in
charge of the Marine authorities, who will hold her till
the owbers take the necessary steps for her restoration
to them. There is but a small portion of tiio cargo,
which was in the vessel when she was raptured, which in
not now scoured. Great credit is due to his Excellency,
tho Governor, Don .Tosc- do- In Pmenetn, the Murine autho
rities, Utul the commander of H O M war-schooner Cruz,
for the prompt fltops taken by them to save the vci*ocl ami

Accomplished, and both would have proved a total loss.
(Extract from a Trinidad letter, of Aug. 1,1861.)
“ We enclose a paper, by which you will see the arrival
of the Confederate screw-steamer-of-war Sumpter. Sho
has lately taken eleven prizes, the last of which was the
hark Joseph Maxwell, from Philadelphia, on her vay to
Laguayra. The Sumpter left New Orleans on tlie 29th
of June, so that her crew must hare been actively em
ployed since that time. The captain says he intends
proceeding along to the northward, as far as St Thomas,
and that all Northern vessels coming within his reach
w ill be taken.”

LAST SURROUNDED!—At 1220 WALNUT
Street, Philadelphia, the mest astonishing victories are
daily perfornn'd over diseases which have proved a terror
to the Medical Profession in all ages of the world.
As evidence of tho above conquest over tho common
enemy of Immunity, we beg leave to refer the intelligent
reader to the names of the following Honorable Gentle
men of this city:
The undersigned take pleasure in recommending to the
public the important discovery of Professors Bolles 4
Cliamborlin in the use of Electricity for tho euro of dis
ease, ami more particularly that class seldom benefited
by medicine.
Judging from what wo have seen of their operations on
ourselves, and others, in tho cure of obstinate diseases
that had for > ears resisted medical remedies, wo do not
hesitate to say that their mode of treatment is safe, relia
ble, and riliciont, and in every respect adapted to tho
wants and relief of the diseased.
