At:rived at our destinatiou for the 6ar, the spot from which I write, what in scene met - the eye I A plain, oats a earn-field, of many acres in extent, with here and thpre a regiment encamped, but the ground ft' me?s of used But the tired men think more of the repel° they peal than the mad, cud- the shelter.tente are ottickly Pitched br some, while others dash off into illt)neighborittg, welds to procure small branches and leaves for a tittering, In , belf en hour, from tlio time the arms are stacked the men are Comfortably Loosed in their tante, with lighted dreg and clrit4deg the coffee tiny have just prepared. TO. day the sun is shining brightly.and beitutifully. Outride it is intensely hot, and I sit in the shale of the tent enjoying the pleasant scene. The men bare just had their Midday meal, and'prudentty take a short rest before the ditties of the afternoon commence. - The camp-groutd, as seen by - daylidlet aurbainshine, vents a vary different aspect than that presented on the evening of, our arrival. . A river flows atone aide, along the edge In a email creek, and river and creek abound with fish. The warm sun has dispelled the, chillinesr of the water, and bathers ate numerous. Pure, clear spring water in ahundatt. A finer spot for an encampment could not be selected. - The town of Curnberland has npreing up within the last week or two. It consists at present of a. shanty, two or three tents, and a steamboat ,lauding., But we have reached civilization. At intervals we hear the familiar sound of• the steam whistle, and some avow they heir the roar 61 tboreilway train. Rather unlikely, for we are only twenty. five miles from Richmond, and the railroad connecting that p'ace with Went Point, where Franklin's army landed, is but Live miles dintant. The great institution occupying the militia of the men, at the present rime, is the antler's store. Fancyts tent - , fined with articles of luxury end nectssity.,et eajniter made by placing a plank upon, two barrels set on end, the sutler and hisassietants inside, and a hungry crowd outside, ail atIXIOIIE to be rid-of their spare change, while, the occupants are busy reviving money and distributing their stock. It takes a- sutler four (lays to procure a stock, and bring it to this point. Ho sells it out in four hours; the n , away to replenish. ',Home of them keep several wagons In comitent motion, between the camp and Fortress Monroe, while others charter a sloop or Echoptur, stock it, and make it a convenient depot front, which to draw their supplies. .. Lieutenant Colonel Thomas W. Egan, of the 4th New York Regiment, who was in-command of the siege works at Yo , ktown, and who was arrested there charged with treason, ,aud communicating with the enemy. has been honorably ,released, by order of General McClellan. The charge has been discovered to have been entirely un founded, and to have been started by sa inferior officer of the same regiment. He had- been placed in arrest Colonel Egan for insolence and disobedience of orders, audit is supposed that the accused was influenced by re vengeful motives. The matter is not yet settled, how ever; as the colonel has demanded a court of inquiry, that the proceedings - May be made public. It will pro bably lied to the cashiering of the accused. General Fitz John Porter has seat to the colonel a very flattering and complimentary letter, expressing his regret fix the indignity of an arrest and the imputation, .and ordering him to dirty.y ltis scarcely necestotri to add that the colonel is' a great favorite with the officers and men, and that he was joyfully greeted by them on his return to the regiment.

General Pope was very confident' of being able to beat the rebel force that was sent ant against his little brigade on Friday, and that the whole command were very indignant at not having been al lowed to stay and fight it Out. There were supposed to be 20,000 of the enemy, and 3,000 of our troops; but, we bad very 'm eat advantages of position. 't till, there was great clanger that by resitting an attack of 20,000 men we should bring one genet al engagement, and for that we are not yet ready. The roads are in perfect order, the weather centimes good, and there is "nothing, so far as outsiders can eee, to - test-rain us, Pope is about four miles froM Certnth, on the extreme left; Sherman tW. T.) on the right, about sex miles off, and Buell about the same. Our tine of tickets in substantially a carved line. Pope's end Ituell's pickets face in a westerly direction. Sher men's face to the southwest and south. The right wing has double duty to do in protecting our front and hank . both.: There are little skirmishes happening almost every day. Our.: pickets are only about half a mile apart, end advance on the right wing pushes them ":back every day. We found out yesterday wby it was that they so obstinately opposed the recon noissance on, our right on - fieturtay last. They had, not more than two miles front' our advance, a fine huge camp situated on a high commenhing ridge, from which they could have bidden us defiance, and where they might have arranged on each side, net more than 150 yards each side of us, ma-kod batteries, where our_ skirmishers would not have been likely to have found them. I rode out -to this point 'lest eve n'ng. A more delightful place fora tamp could net be •foiled. The timber is scattering, ground h'gh end clean and dry, water abundant, and the position could be held from either foe for a small eternity. Bach side of this ridge, which may be t at the highest point, one hundred yaids wide, rise two other ridges With sharp, abrupt sides, from which one or two pieees'of'artillery could play a long time .befote they could be taken or forced to leave. Ont .at the farther. end,- I imagine, Corinth would be viSible. I could see beyond the trees that dim, hazy, bluish look; which always indicates a valley, or an ;interval with highlands beyond. I would have investigated farther,' but I bad been looking pretty sharply ahead, and at this high point I thought there ought to be a picket, as it SOMlllallded a long range of vision. I concluded to - wait a few Moments and watch. As I was looking with all my eyes, I saw the bark of an oak tree Ewell out to the right, then the whole tree enlarged, and' changed into a butternut, who quietly - contemplated me for a moment, and then retreated to the next tree- be hind him. Se had a companion, who seemed toa - pprove hie 'tactics, and both of them had guns, and I' had none. Titers was quite a party along, all officers, and per haps the fellow thought we would be green enough to rush into an ambuscade - and give him a batch of valua ble prisoners; at any rate, he effectually repressed my desire to gaze on the benetiee of Corinth; and I returned incontinently to the protecting shadow of our own pick. Me, allele, under two pieces of artillery,- we considered ourselves perfectly safe. - - Orders were sent last night, to the whole . of Grant's army, to 'get' up from the landing all the rations they could, for the next two days. This looks as though, at the expiration of that time, we-should move on towards, and perhaps to. Corinth. .I.feless we are waiting to effect a junction with some other force, we must be ready by -hat lima. We shall, if we wait much longen have the whole of those Potomac troupe to fight, and we ought to be reinforced by Potomac troops. - The rebels seem to have abandoned the' Bast, and' eon centred in the West. Don't yon gee; if they - i.get beaten here, they are all ready, with a baud of deepen-, dose, to, light their way across the Mississippi river, and land in Mexico"; to take part in the little-4mila about opening. there. The violent Secessionists will be, aftet the restoration .of the Federal authority, SA thoroughly expatriated as though they had- been sent to Siberia.. They cannot live here with any comfort.

It gives us an insight into the doings of the Convention ihat declared Virginia out of the Union, and sustains the oft repeated opinion of The i.rress, that that Convention was not a unit on the subject of Secession, but that it was forced to act as it did by mere brute force of the traitors who surrounded its doors. For some time after the ordinance of Secession was passed, the traitors boasted that it was done unanimously and enthu siastically ; but the letter of Captain Burdett em phatically denies this.. The letter is as follows: MELY . ii, 186" TO Ins )IDITon or Tar. Pines: I WSW a member of the Virginia Convention which pawed the ordinance of Secession in the spring of 1661, and represented Taylor county, in Western Virginia, which is some hundred miler' %mall of Wheeling. Before going to Richmond I pledged myself to my constituents, that in no case would I vote for the infamous Secession ordinance—indeed. such a pledge was necessary in order property to repre sent the sentiment of Taylor county. I went to the capital a Union man—firmly resolved to withstand every allurrment and to bravo any man who dared attempt compulsion by threats—and I did to. I did my whole • duty—cast my vote with filly-five patriots who voted. against that outrageous ordinance, and .went back to Ts, for count* to receive the gratrilations of all true union men. `3ly purpose in writing this brief letter to you, is to bear, witness to. the . truth of the statements that have been niade,, that the Secession ordinance was agreed on under the vilest compulsion. So Tar as I. can learn, hitch , stories are discredited at the North. Such unbelief is improper, and as a Union mem- • tier of find Convention. present during the whole time, .eoeing and hearing all that passed, I am ready to bear witness that Members voted for secession under the cam widen of a riotous mob, well-armed, who overawed the Unionists of Richmond, and under the behests of Wise, ',etcher & Co., threatened toy life and the lives of my 'Union colleagues, if I did not consent to their traltorone schemes. The Union men wore taunted in the Conven tion—thousands of the lowest outcaete swarmed outside of our meeting place, throwing: stones at the windows. booting; yelling, end threatening. Cannon were planted on the Capitol Square. Every where.a Unionist went he was itienited. Lives were in jeopardy, and after 1 bad cast my veto for the Union and against the ordinance, Senator (WIN, mrs , lr, and ton ethers, were compelled to gee from Bicbmond, only escaping by aye minutes the traitor Letcher's telegram sent after us to aneet us for r , treason," and when wo palmed through Rarper'e Ferry we found au infuriated crowd preparing to seize the arsenal and raise the bloody flag of rebellion. More than thin, it was agreed upon, in Richmond, to seize us there and not allow ns to vote, but good fortune inter vened and balked the neferions scheme. Several comities in Western Virginia were terribly misrepresented in thatronvention. In some caste, Se cessionistafrem the Rest, brought out West for the spe cial purpose, would stand for election there as conditional Union men when they really wore tho vilest Secession hounds of the whole pack. Had it not been for force of arms that ordinance would never have passed, and my Dative State would never have been sold out to the vile • Sonth•Carolina traitors. I only write this to bear witness, ei a member of the Convention, who was present and saw all, to the compul sion which Was used in forcing Secession upon Virginia. Respectfully yours. Capt. JOHN S.

OPINIONS OF THE FOREIGN JOURNILS. The fOreinn journals dill continue to speculate upon the eignifunince of the French minister's visit to ltich mond, and upon the rumor that France intends to inter vene, in the American struggle. The following are some of the lending opinions: The Constitutionnei, of Paris, publiehes at the bead 'of its columns, and with all the display of type that is calculated to attract attention, the following article on American affairs: rt If there he at the prevent time an incontestible [act— one which unfortunately is beyond the reach of discus sion—it is that the moat experienced eye cennot perceive in a future, however distant, the termination of die war in America by mere hostile means. The Norte, at the ontvet, paid that three months would suffice to reduce the South; it is now thirteen tuontlis . since the atrugglo by means of cannon shot commenced ; and a perusal of the last despatches must convince any one that things are not further advauced than on the flaunty. Were it only in the interest of humanity, all must wish for the parthattlon of that immense country ; brit there is mars than an inkiest of humanity ievoleed—there is the suf fering of manufacturing Europe. In the midst of tad'. painful eircumstances width sticcad each other, end of the accounts which aro every day brought by the de spatches from America, the visit of 31. Mercier to Rich mond has boon interpreted in a favorable mealier, end considered as a ground fur hope. -We are not acquainted with the object of that excursion, and we are not awa.c, whether M. Mercier has: been charged with a mi,sion ; but we are willing to hope, with the pub in, that the French minister at NYasbington may lance the adverse parties to listen to words of conciliation and peace. It those words are uttered and listened to, it will can se joy to all feeling hearts in'F.urope, and particularly hi Franco." The Paris Paris states that very important•eonfer ems have been going on at Richmond. between M. Mer cier and the Government of the Southern States, and from the fact of the contionance:of the negotiations It draws the inference that the "overtures main by our re. presentative to Pt esident Davis most have been favorably !calved in principle." But upon the nature of M. lifer eters overtures, the French journals throw no light what ever. The Temps, however, attic, that at. Mercier went to IPcbmond in consequence of 'the repeated and urgent solicitatione of Mr Jefferson Davis, who, feeling that the Bouth la in extremis, writes to invoke the good offices of Franca to negotiate a peace." The London Herald's Paris correspondent writes that the a pparently semi-official note in the Constitutionnef, siltecating the recognition of the Southern States. has created great sensation. lie is informed, on good autho .ritr, that it was communicated to the journal direct from the Government. The Paris correepondent of the Mobs writes as follows: "It becomes daily more estsblisued that the Govern ment of the Empire is engaged in' substantial efforts to bring the North American conflict to a close; and its po- Hey in that direction is unmletakably announced in its semi-official organs. The mission of 31. Mercier to Rich mond is distinctly bold oat in the Constitutimmet as bearing on nesetiations'of this character, and it is lull crone to tind it interpreted elsewhere as meant to incul cate prompt submission on the part of the Confederate Elates, by deprecating the chances of further resistance. The Dibats persists in its bygone conclusion that the atrnggle must and in a coercive tranquillity with such ' order' es reigns at Warsaw, and propounds the red tape and pipr-clay theory that a French envoy accredited at Washington cannot bold diplomatic intercourse with rebels at Richmond, while other oracles complete one full understanding of the case by intimating that President Lincoln is a cousentine and complacent party to the in terview with President Davis." The Shipping Gazette, in a leader on M. Mercier's mission to Richmond, says the Ind ie full of significance. The only object the 'French Government can have in view . in, to open the Southern - porta for cotton and tobacco. If they carry oat that object, Whether by negotiation or by force, we don't see how a recognition of the South is to be withheld ; nor does it sem likely that Franco can be permitted to adventure ou r the policy indicated by M. Mercier's mlislon, without some understanding with the Government of this countrY.' The Times' correspondent, writing on the 7th, says: Every one has been trying to discover the real motive for fil.Mercier's journey to Richmond. The one assigned by a Portion of the Parisian press—namely, to look after the tobacco interest—la too futile. The Federal papers Resume that he is gone tersummou the South to surrender at once and at •dhieretioo, as if the Booth had already , spent its last dollar nod its last num; while the Confe derate journals look upon the movement of 'the French minister as preliminary to the immediate recognition by France of the Confederate States. The minister of a foreign Government is not usually lemployed in the character of a .herald; and the circumstance that ho bed a long interview with Mr. Seward and Mr. Lin coln previous to setting out, and the facilities given him for communicating between Richmond and Wash ington during his MISMOD, throw some doubt on the version es to immediate and absolute recognition.. Some curious people have asked ff. • Thouvonel about the matter; but, if I am rightly informed, M. Thouvenel replied that be knew nothing; that, not only had he given no instructions to M. Mercier about a mission to Richmond, but that he wits ae ignorant as•anybody • else what he was gone there fir. And in Riving this assurance, IL Theuvenel probably spoke truly. It does not, however, follow that M. Mer cier had no instructions, merely because M. Thonvenel, who, perhaps, alien. of all the Cabinet professes little sympathy for the Confederate cause has not given him any ; an d you may be certain that M. Mercier would not quit his post without orders from some ono to whose will even the Minister of Foreign Affairs must defer. , t It Is an ascertained fact that the Emperor Napoleon has been fir months pest most desirous of seeing the war between the North and South at an end; chiefly, no doubt, front motives which are creditable to his humanity, but a great deal from anxiety to arrest the etifferidg, as well as the disoontent Which accompanies suffering, among the working and commercial classes in France, and which are iu most part attributable to the civil war in America. Be believes, too, and this belief is shared by the majority of his ministers, that the re-eatablithruent of the Union is hopeless. ',There viewe were . DOOM time ago pressed non the English Government, brit without eff.et.

PAPER PRESENTED BY DR BREMINRIDGE. The Old School General Assembly of the Preebyterian Church is now in session at Columbus, Ohio. On MOW. day : Rey. Dr. Breckieridge presented the following paper on the state of the country and the Presbyterians , duly iu the crisis. The paper will be discussed, and very likely adopted by the Ss nod. ' 71to Ceuerel Assembly of the 'Presbyterian Church in the Dulled Slates of America, in sesdon at Coloathes, in the SW° of Ohio. coneldering the unhappy condition of the country—la the midst of a bietodY civil wan—st.td of the Church, agitated every where, divided in Benton-at in mans. places, and openly assailed by echi-in in o large section of it; eounsehing also the duty which tine t• bun& ' met in the name and by the authority of the glori fied Saviour of sinners, who is Rho the Sovereign Ruler of all things, owe to him our Head and Lord and to nit fleck cemmitted to our charge, and to the people whom we are commissioned to evangtlize, and to the civil au thorities who exist by big appointment—do hereby, in this deliverance, give utterance to our solemn convictions and our deliberan judgment, touching the matters Iterate set forth, that they way terve for the guidance of all, over whom the Lord tihriet has given us any ollice of in struction, oi any power of government. 1. Pence is nmong4 the very I ighest tomperalblessings of the Church, a. well as of all mankind ;and public order is One of the first necessities of the spiritual at well as the civil commonwealth. Peace has been wickedly superseded by war, in its worst form, throughout the whole land ; and public order has been wickedly sup-r -seded by rebellion, anarchy, and violence, ie the whole. Southern portion of the Union. All this nae beau brought to pees, old a disloyal mid traitorous attempt to over throw the National Government by military force, and to divide the nation, contrary to the wishes of the Im mense nojetily of the pimeie in whom the local sovereignty resided, even iu the States which revolted, ever authorized any such pt ON tiling!. or even approved the fraud and teems by which the horrible treason has achieved whatever success! it has had. This %eh( le tr. asoo, rebellion, anarchy, freed, and violence is utterly Contrary to the dictates of nntural religion and morality, cud is plainly condemued by the revealed will of G< d. It is the clear -and solemn duty of the National Government to preserve, at what ever cost, the national Union and Conetitution, to main tain the laws in their supremacy, to crnelrforeet by force, and to restore the reign of public order and peace to tee entire nation, by whatever lawful means that aro amas sers thereunto. And it is the bounden ditty of all peo ple who compose this great nation—each one in his several place and degree—to uphold the Federal Government, and °vet y 81410 GOVeraMent, and all per sons in authority, whether civil or military, in all their lawful and proper acte, unto the 'end. hereinbefore set forth. 11. The Church of Christ has no authority from him to make rebellion, or to conneel treason, or to fever attar chi', in any case whatever. On the contrary, every fol lower of Christ hats the personal liberty bestowed on him by Christ, to eubmit, for the sake of Christ, according to his own conscientious sense of duty, to whatever Govern ment, however bad; under 'which hie lot may be cast. But, while patient suffering for Christ'e sake can never bs elnfol, treason, rebellion, and anarchy may be sluful— n oet generally, perhaps, aro sinful, and probably are at ways and necessarily sinful In al] free countries, where the power to ehange the Government by voting, in the place of force, exists as s common right, con stitntionelly teemed to the people who are . sove reign. If in any case treason, rebellion, and anarchy can possibly be sinful, they we so in -the case now desolating large cortioter of this nation, and laying waste great numbers of Christian congregations, and fatally obstructing every good word and work in those regions. To the Christian people scattered through out those important regions, and who hare been left of God to have an, mild hand in bringing on these terrible calamities, we earnestly address word, of exhortation and rebuke, ne unto brethren who have Binned exceed ingly, and. whom God calls to repentance by fearful jedgmeuts. To thous in like circumstances, who aro not chargeable with the sins which have brought such calamities upon the land, but who have chosen), in the exercise of their Christian li berty, to stand in. their lot and suff-r, we ad dress words of affectionate sympathy, praying God to bring them off connectors. To those in like eircum mowers, who have taken their lives in their hands and risked all for their country, and for conscience sake, we ear we love such with all our heart, and bless God, such witnesses were found in the time of thick darkness. We fear, and we record with great grief, that the Chun% of God and the Christian people, to a great extent, and throughout. all the zerolted States, bare 'done many th , nge that ought not to have been done, and have left undone much that ought to have been done, In this time of trial, rebuke, and blasphemy. Concerning the wide.spread seldom which Is reported to have occurred in many Southern Synods, this As sembly will take no action at this time. It declares, however, its fixed purpose, under all possible circum stances, to labor for the extension and permanent main tenance of the Church under its care in everreart of the United States. Schism, so far as it may exist, we hope to see healed. If that cannot be, it will be disregarded. 111. We record our gratitude to God for the prevailing unanimity of sentiment and general internal peace, which has cbarecterized the Church in the States which have tot Torches], embracing a great majority of the mi nisters, congregations and people under our care. It may still be called, with emphasis, a loyal, orthodox and pious church ; and all its acts and won ky indicate its right to a title to noble. Let It strive for Divine grace to malutalit that good • Te1)01 t. In some respects the interests of the °hatch of Gcd are very eifferent from those of all civil lemitutiot s. Whatever may befal this, or any other nation, the . Church of •Chriat most abide on earth hiumphaut over even the gates of hell. It is, there fore, of supreme- importance . that the Church should guard itself from internal alienations end on,, founded upon questleue and interests that are external as to her, 'and which ought not by their necessary working cause her fate to depend on the fate of things less important and lees enduring than her self. Disturber, of the Church ought net to be alitiated_. especially disturbers of the Church in States that never revolted, or that have been cleared of armed rebels— dieturbers who, under many false, pretexts, may promote discontent, dieloyalty, and general -alienation—tending to the unsettling of ministers, to local schisms, and to manifold-'trouble. Let a spirit of quietness, of mutual forbearance, and of ready obedience to .auttanity, both evil and ecclesiastical, illostrate the loyally, the orthodoxy, Mid the piety of the Church. It is mete especially to ministers of the GoattelL--and among them particularly; to any whose first imPreasione bad been on any accchnt favorable to the terrible mili tary' revolution which has , been attempted, and which God's Providence his hitherto so signally relxiked—lbat lbesidecisive considerations ought to be addressed..
