gljt :111t,e55+ TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 1862 THE LATEST WAR NEWS The importance of the victory achieved by Gen. McClellan on Saturday last before Richmond, in creases as the details oome to hand. Some days roust neoesearily elapee before we' can receive the names of the killed and wounded. From present appearances the latter will recruit their energies in the ci•deva'tt capital of the Confederacy. Union treeetinv have been held in Norfolk and Portsmouth, and have been largely attended. A sucoessful reconnoissance has been made to Edenton, North Carolina, resulting in the capture of a rebel colonel and severe' other officers. It is believed that Col iCenley, of the Maryland Regiment, is a prisoner at Winoheater, and is wounded in the head. A largo number ,of prisoner° have been landed in .New York city. Good news continues to ho re ceived from General Ilalleek's division. Colonel ,Elliott'et expedition to Booneville, on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, was entirely successful, result. big in the capture of 2,500 prisoners and the di ktruotion of 10,000 stand of arms. Generals Beau regard and Bragg are reported as having been at Corinth a abort time previous to its evacuation. Trouble is brewing In Memphis, all the newspaper aides having been removed to Grenada, in Missie aippi. Another prise steamer has been brought into New York. She is called the Nassau, former ly the Gordon, and was captured by the Gaited States gunboat State of Georgia while attempting to enter Charle3to a harbor with a valuable cargo of We are happz to state that there were no Penn eylvania troops in the division of General Casey, which has received such a withering rebuke from General McClellan for its conduct at the battle of Cbiokahominy. General McClellan's department has been ox• tended, so as to ins' ode that part of Virginia south of the Rappahannock and east of the railroad from I?redorioksburg, Ye , to Weldon, N. C. A large force of the enemy have been again routed near Front Royal by our troops. A large number of prisoners ware taken. General Wool Is transferred from the department of Fortress Monroe to that of the Centre, and will establish his headquarters at Baltimore, General Dix succeeding him in command of the Fortress, Norfolk, and vicinity. We hive glorious news from General Fremont, to the effect that he has, by forced mareheMerossed the Shenandoah mountain, and overtaken Jadrson'a force in full retreat near Strasburg. General Fremont's match must have boon over one hundred milts. He bee occupied Strasburg. There was no Ageing yesterday by General fcCleUan'e fore., which has advanced considerably towards Richmond since Saturday's engagement. 77171 WAR lies been full of incidents and changes, tad some of them are unite amusing. A year ago the North was on the defensive and the South on the offensive. An exultant foe was proclaiming its triumph in every por tion of the country and boldly planning the capture of the Northern cities and the devasta tion of the Northern States. rebel army swarmed along the banks of the Potomac, ml litia men guarded the Long Bridge, and the heights o' Washington were traced by rebel engineers for rebel batteries. BEAturacienn established his headqunters within a day's ride of Washington, and was massing his recruits abouttbe fastnesses of gull Rua. St. Louis was considered to be in danger, and fortificatons were built around it. Keb tacky was still tremblidg in.the balance, and Many good citizens of Louis;ille were dread ing a visit from the rebel General &maim- Maryland was still tilled with active conspira tors, and armed uprisings were dreaded by the Union men. Look at the change ! Instead of a rebel' army being within five miles of Waitangi:on, a Union army is *Jilin five miles of Rich. mond. Instead of a foe. triumphantly invad ing the city of Washington, the foe lies trampled under the walls of Richmond. la..- . stead of concentrating the rebels for the de struction cf the Federal capital, JOHNSTON has received the severest defeat of the war. In stead of proclaiming his purpose to attack Philadelphia and New York, .TIFFERSON Days Is despatching his wife and children to the Cotton States, and preparing for a fight or. flight. St. Louis is the centre of a great Union community. Pares has been driven from Missouri; Kentucky is represented by her loyal legions in the battle-field; Maryland has redeemed herself by the bravery of her Keit- LET, and Tennessee and Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana, have been snatched from the fearful abyss to which they had fallen, and are now • repentant members of the Crnion; This year has brought with it changes in • politics, as well as in country. A year ago, we bad a defiant party whose leaders were boldly proclaiming a humiliating peace and a compromise with traitors. BLEOICINRIDGE walked the Senate chamber defiant and full of menace, the loader of the Northern Secession party, aid the representative of their brothers In arms against the Union. The leaders of a great political organization were boldly bar gaining their country's honor for the purpose Of gratif ing personal ambition. Schemes of peace, plans for conventions and compro mises, the degradation of the North and the exaltation of the Smith, were plentiful as the leavep upon the trees. It seemed as if we had • , yet to learn the lessons of personal and politl cal self-respect, and in the hearts of all good inert there was a feeling of sadness and • despair. Treason was in arms against the country, it was in arms against our peace and our pride ; it fullowed us into the church, into our homes, into our domestic circles, Into every relation of business and lite. It murdered our brothers upon the field, and . divided and distracted us at home. Now we see the enemies of the country disheal•tened and dismayed—their chosen leader, BOSOMS ROO; following the logical conclusion of his position. An enemy of his country, but braver and bolder than thousands of his truest friends and most trusted followers, he has drawn the sword against the Republic which be conspired in vain to slay as a Sinter. There is no longer that active devotion which manifested itself in open and dishonora ble prOposals for a settlement of the war. We do not know whether we have entirely crushed the feeling of dissatisfaction and disaffection, but we know that we have virtually hushed it. We see it bobble up occasionally in social cir cles, manifesting itself in smiles over our dis comfiture, and shrugs over our triumphs in coldness and inhumanity, in platitudes about the Conatitation and generalities about tha 113HiOti, in sneers at Mr. LINCOLN and the Ad ministration, in scoffing at our soldiers and scowling over their successes. But it is under the bushel—it does not seek the light of day— it haunts inner chambers and dark recesses, and lives by the glimmering light of the dark lantern. Its followers meet, as assassins only meet, away from the association and knowledge of honest men. We hear it •in whispers, as something mysterious, dreadful, incomprehen sible, and hardly to be believed. We know its midden ebullitions of feeling, in small political triumphs which can be traced to extraneous causes, and in unceasing spirit of intrigue against the friends of the Administration. 13ut it is no longer what it was. It no longer possesses the power, the substance, the mean ing, the forca of other days. It is the shadow of the organization of a year ago; the mere dregs in the wino cup, the debris of an aban- doned and polluted political sanctuary. If the Year has its contrasts, it has also its lessons. If, in many respects, the tables are turned, it is our duty to keep them from balancing over. Because we have triumphed by the help of God, and our own good soldiers, we must make that triumph en during by self devotion, self-denial, courage, and candor. ' We must conciliate one another in order that we may be strong enough to re ject the conciliations, of a deceitful foe. We must compromise our minor differences that we may combat the great difference that now ,arrays treason againat loyalty. We must no longer see through a glass darkly. We must .cast away the shadows of old partisan faith .and party proclivities of discipline, tradition, said education. We must see the path that lies before ns brightening with the sunshine of our coun 4 ry's common glory, and leading to a hereafter beyond the conception and the imagination of man. This is the truest lesson the year brings to us, and we read it in its changes, its contrasts, and its great events. frAnur BIRCH & BAOTBER are the authorized agents for The Frees at Reading, Pa.

The bead of the serpent will not only be bruised, but. crushed, and'ivhat vitality is left must linger feebly in the extre mities. The battle of yesterday, before Rich- mond, was precipitated by the rebels, in the desperate . hope of breaking the coil of General McClellan's anaconda, and their repulse and slaughter leave the Union army ' solid' and confident, and themselves demoralized and panic-strioken. I write. early in the morning, before the ex pected details of Sunday's conflict, and the operations which undoubtedly succeeded it, have reached Washington. But enough is known to render certain the complete success of our arms, and to prove that the traitors can no longer keep the field save in small bands'of marauders and murderers. A gentleman just in from the column of Halleck gives it as his opinion that Beauregard will be forced to dis band his troops and to seek safety in flight. alleges that be is completely hemmed in, and that he cannot escape tho net-work that has been thrown around him. If these theories are sustained by the events of the next few hours or days, the rebel chiefs will hasten from the scenes of their depredations and defeats to avoid the vengeance of the Federal Govern ment. It is believed that many of thorn have made preparations for this exodus. They will attempt to escape into A6xico or South America, and au idea is thrown obit that they may make a last stand in Texas. But all of them cannot get away. McClellan ought to secure Davis and the chief conspira tors, who, if their deeds are half as bold as their, words, will remain at Richmond and sharti the fate of their armies. Should they be caught, and sent to prison to await the fate they have_ so industriously courted and de served, the rebellion will be left an object of the pity and contempt of the civilized world. It is barely possible 'that they may prefer death at the bead of their columns to the punishment 'that will be surely meted out to them by the - Government. When these wretched men are captured and disposed of, tbe Southern people will have an opportunity of recovering from the delusion of SeCession. The Whole conspiracy will be unveiled. The means adopted 'to bring it about will be disclosed ; for it cannot be other wise than that the knowledge of the secret friends and machinery, upon which they relied to carry on their war, must come into the bands of the Federal authorities., Movements have been comparatively gradual heretofore, but, now that the great blow has been struck, the whole treason will rapidly crumble to pieces amid the acclamations of all good men. OCCASIONAL. eI:LADLES TIIE SECOND lay dying. That sin gular compound of profligacy and urbanity, refined breeding and flagrant dissoluteness, religious sentimentalism and utter moral cor ruption, was drawing weak and weaker breaths amid the luxurious paraphernalia of royalty, which a bribe from France to suppress the natural instincts of the people towards Pro testantism and unshackled worship, bad ena bled him to lavish on Whitehall Palace: Those outrageous attacks upon the lives, liberty, and properly of subjects which characterized the latter part of bis reign, those disgusting scenes of party intrigues, plots, and conspiracies, were closing, as far as concerned this amiable . executioner of Russitzt and 'SYDNEY. The •criminal prodigality that had made his court Vane in such splendor could not save bins ; the exhaustion of an apoplectic attack his life ;was oozing away. "The morning light," says liacatinkr, "began to peep through the win,, dews of Whitehall, and Cniaass desired the Attendants to pull aside the curtain, that he . might have ono morn look at the 'day. Ho re marked that it was time to wind up a cloak Which stood near his bed. He apologized to those who had stood around him all night for the trouble which he had caused. He had been, ho said, a most unconscionable time dying, but he hoped that they would ex cuse it. This was the last glimpse of that exquisite urbanity, so often found potent to charm away the resentment of a justly in censed nation." . A CHARLES the Second is now dying this Bide of the ocean—a power whose riotous mi nistry might well be called Cabal—an oligar chical tyranny that has long hidden its profli gacy and despotism under the g trb of courtly etiquette. It has summarily decapitated every representative of human progress, every champion of political freedom. It has yielded to the virtual bribery of foreign Powers to suppress the natural impulses of the people. It has pampered its sensuality by extortionate vassalage of its subjects, by arrogance and impertinent petulance towards itafriends. Hav ing a sense of its hmato rottenness, it has con trived to bolster itself up by executive patron age, and to demoralize the national conscience by making itself respected. As unscrupulous of ends as of means, the official power thus acquired it has never renounced, perverting it, all the while, to the foulest of purposes. To make its immediate court and-body-guard rich and resplendent, it has brought the national finance to the verge of ruin, and has enforced new claims by renewed clamors. But now it Iles dying: Neither its lordly iniolerice nor the pomp of its lordly surroundings can save it ; it is dying in the palace of its own c:eation, and encompassed by aristocrats, whose elegant sensuality, supported by avarice and human degradation, will not avail it. We of the North are opening the windows and drawing the curtains, that the fresh young light of a new 'day may flash bate the glazing eyes of the gasping voluptuary. It is paring Into the southwest through Corinth, into the southeast through Richmond. One evacuation after another has given room for the clear sunlight of a new order of things to flood with radiance that chamber of death, and reveal the true nature of the tinsel and gewgaw with which it has been so heavily hung. is It is time," moans the servile roué, the worn out gambler in hearts and lives, cc to wind up the little black banded clock which I have so long kept behind the stroke of civilization. It' is approaching high noon; when all the rest of the world chimes it, let these hinds also help to be its chronicle." He has the impertinence to satirically apolo glie, at every fortification he makes and leaves, for the trouble he has given, and the unconscionably long time he has taken to die. "It is the last glimpse of the chivalrous arrogance so often found potent—alas!—to charm away the resentment of a justly-in censed nation." Die he must, dying he is. Swollen by indulgence, over-fullness carries him away. Let him answer as he can for the enormity of his sins against his country and the race—this voluptuous tyrant, the Ame rican CUARLES the Secorid. HON. JOHN A. Gamut, OF NORTH CARO TINA.—Thure is Sonia light amid ail the gloom. With our improved 'facilities for communicating with the Southern States, it becomes more certain that through all that part of the country there is still a con siderable number of prominent men who have never lowered their knee to the image of Baal, and are certain to prove staunch sup porters of the Union. Quite a 'number of such have been heard from. The boldest is Hon.. Mr. Guam, of North Carolina, who, in a State Convention lately in session at Raleigh, thus expressed himself while speak ing in reference to the new law taxing slaves : " I also, while I am up, desire to call the atten tion of those gentlemen who are opposing this measure to the fact that they, and they alone, wero chiefly instrumental in carrying North Carolina oat of the Union. Ye; gentlemen, it is you who were in favor of contracting a great debt by carrying on a war with the Union. Yon claimed that secession was neceleary, in order to give better security to the institution of slavery; hence, it was for the exolusive benefit of your property that secession teok place, and this enormous debt was contracted, and all of this misery and slaughter brought upon the country. At the commencement of , seoession you were exceedingly patriotic, and said that the South must secure her independence, at whatever sacrifice of blood or treasure. "Gentlemen, you have succeeded in forcing the State out of the Union ; yon have also succeeded in eaddlin a great debt upon the State; - thus faryour wishes have been realized. You have had your way. In gratifying your wishes thie debt has been in curred: You lave remained at your.firesides while . the fearful struggle was going on, sad obliged those who represent no property to fight your battles. Now that the debt has been contracted by you, who represent the slave interest of the State, you, nevertheless, have the coolness, with all these foots staring before you in the face, to rise in your places and refuse to be taxed. By objecting to pay your share of this great debt, YOU are obliging those who fought your battles to pay it for you. I de sire to .know if there can be anything more un grateful and inhuman than this? I had no hand in bringing about. this unholy war. I was not in favor of emersion, and am not now. I love the old Union, and long to return to its -folds. I had no voice in contracting this debt;. I have been op posed to it all along. Notwithstanding this, I sin willing that my slaves shbald be heavily taxed to liquidate this unjust debt. Yea, I would gladly emancipate them all if et would restore us back as we were before. The slavery question is the cause of this war, and we shall rimier have peace until a gradual emancipation measure is alopt. a . , I These are the words of a Southern patriot. Let the sympathizers with Secession in our midst read and ponder_them. Do they sup pose, when such nob% courage is shown by slaveholders like Jour: A. GILMER, that the peotle of the free North will again bow their necks under the yoke of any party that re fuses to sustain the Government in its war for the Union? FROM WASHINGTON.

Two days of the battle of Richmond have ham fought, on, both of which occasions our troops have been tic torioue, with n heavy lon on both aides. The battle wee' opened by tho enemy making an attack on General Omey'a divltioo, which wee encamped near Sevin - Pines, on the turnpike leading over Bottom -Bridge, and within seven mile of Richmond. The attack wee made about ono o'clock on Saturday afternoon by General litll's division, composed of five rebel brigades, the troops being in mast part from V:it•-• girds; South Carolina. and Georgia. The fight here wan dineetrone. General .Casey's troops wore forced to retire before superior number'', leaving all their camp equipage and two batterieit on the Reid. Colonel Batley in endeavoring to nave hie battery was Sotto of the troops in this division, from New York and Pennsylvania, (according to a despatch from New York there were no Penney testae regiments in this com snacd,) behaved very belly. Many of the officers were killed and wounded in endeavoring to rally their men.

They then commencei yelling and shriek ing, intermingled with coma . end threats, when a met miler was despatilod to the Southern pollee station for Captain Manly, who shortly arrived at the scene of the. difficulty with a posse of twenty-two policemen. Upon attempting to enter the yard, with a view of giving tho 'regrets warping of the consequences of the step they had undertaken, Captain Manly end. hie men were met at the gate by the infuriated crowd in a threatening attitude.

The negrota were principally armed with stools, clubs, Ma trons. portions of the benches which they bad broken up, and the slaves of a tub ahich bad been torn to piece,. During the tight, Mr. Campbell received a blow to the back of the head, and another over the left eye, both of which were given by a stout negro with an iron shovel. Officer Geo.

One of the neromes was so badly beaten that Dr. Gough was summoned to his aid. The tome physician attended Officer Taylor. The ac tion of the officer', under the circumstances, reflected great credit tiron themselves, and their deter pined man ner had the effect, apparently, of convincing the negroea that their 0 time," as they expressed it, had not yet. come.

Mr. GOOOR (Bop.), of Maasachnsette, reported from the Cotetnittee on Foreign affairs the Senate bill for the recognition of the independence of 'Genf and Liberia, and the establishment of diplomatic relations with them. He quoted thetweertion of Preeideut Lincoln, in hie an neal message, that a any good reason existed why Wa should persevere longer in withholding our recognition of Hayti end Liberia, be wee nimble to discern it. Justice teat:dreg this act on the part of this Government. There is certainly no reople on whom it is more incumbent to de all tint can be done to educate, develop, and im prove the moral, intellectual, and social condition of the African race than our own, and no Govern ment or people have it so much in their power to aid and resist these two republics in their struggle to obtain a hipher intelligence, a better civilization, or more perfect government. Each of them bas a Government like our Own i institutions (listened and intended to be like 0111% The estattlistmeut of diplomatic relations bet;vnen our Government• and these republics will afford them .the • meet favorable opportunities to familiarize thomeelvee with the theory, and practice of our Government, and Ihet eby enable them to improve and protect their own. Mr. GOOCIi then stated the political reasons for ettablithing intimate diplomatic relations with them re publics, °leeching with Boyd, which should not be per mitted to fall back into any European Power. The expe tier ce of the pest few months has taught us very forcibly that the ruling Powers of Europe leave little ammeter with us, or our institutions, and that they will not heti tate to improve what aeeme to them a favorable hew tunlty to recover lost power and jurisdiction over Ameri can territory. The rebellion has, for the time being, almost silenced the voice of our Government among the Powers of the world If anything were needed to unite or strength. tt the people of the loyal 3tates, in the deter- Minatiure to effectually crush out the rebellion, it would be the present position of our Government in this respect. Nr. Gooch proceeded to demonstrate that the com mercial interline of our people demand the recognition of -Bald and Liberia, quoting numerous statistics showing our trade with theist republics,. The adaptation of Hayti for cotton culture was dwelt upon, and its Gelds will fur- Web brumes to the blacks of this country who desire to better their condition by emigrating to a more congenial climate and sell, where they will be relieved of all the politics' and social disabilities to which they are here subjscl ed. In recognizing the independooce of Hayti end Liberia, me loliew the example of the leading Powers of the wield. Petition after petition has whet it, and there is no valid reason why the prayer of the petitioners should not be granted. Men of all parties desire the re cognition of these two Governments. Justice, slued va lley, political-wisdom, and the example of other Goes in inept's, demand that we recognize the hrierentlence of Hayti and Liberia, and that in our intercourse with them we place them ou the same footing as other independent nations. , Mr. COX (Dom.), of Ohio, offered a substitute that there be appointed corbel generals to negotiate treaties of commerce with Hayti and Liberia. The object de signed was not somincli to increase commerce, but to give a sort of dignify and equality to these republics be cause their citizens happen to be blank. He argued that consuls wet e the more appropriate agents to promote the littorals of collate T. Ho asked the gentleman from Matisachusette whether be expected a minister In return from Hayti? Mr. GOOCR replied thet be arl.hod to put Hayti ou the same footing with other indep•ndent nations, and, if that republic sopd a minister, to receive him just the same as Englaim and Fi ante do. Mr. COX raid the laws of Hayti debarred all whites+ from office. As a coneeonence, she would send a negro ministrr here with all the rights and dignities enjoyed by! Lord Lynne end Count Mercier. ' - Mr. YESSibiDEN (Bep.), of, Maine, wished to know,. what objection the gentleman from Ohio had to that. Mr. COX replied.thet he objected because it raised the black man to an equality with the white. lie had thought that this GOTerlit , tint was for the white man. He recollected that the gentleman Irons Maine [sr. Feasen den] bad said something like this the other day—emelt, tint he would girder that the Hilton should not be re stored then that slavery eliould be continued. The gen tleman would destroy the Commonwealth for the purpose . of getting at the black men. Mr. Cox, in his argument,. said the people of Hayti bad not the power to rise above the ignorance, corruption, end auporstitlon of the race for the last seventy years. The only object of this bill wait to dress np the negro minister who might be sent hither in gold and lace, with the light leggings and shoo buckles of the old style, and perhaps put a Wig on his bead, and send him to the White Howie, to be the latigh ing stock of all also congregate there: Flo was not to be ceneidered so much the representative of He'd as of the free negroes of this city, a being to wtom they would look to the trod of their idolatry. . kr. HIDDL3.(Dem.), of Pennsylvania, said theltrii— sent condition of the African race, and the momentous political aueetion connected with it, should induce the Hones to reject this bill, which wag a pert of a policy which had contributed to sever the Union, and is the greatest obstacle to Its restoration and to the succeeds" prate ut ion of the war. Title wean° day of double danger to the Constitution from the Secessionists and Abolition ists. It was no pert of the latter's policy to send the negroes away. They want to keep them to support their pow er, which is waning among white men. This was not the time to gide an inch to those who would take an ell. He would not stick a new feather in the cap of Abo litionism. To peas this bill would be an acknowledge ment of the cquallty of the races. MT 'Kelley, of Pennsylvania, obtained the door. Without concludingthe question, the House adjourned. LETTER FROM NEW YORK Testimony of a ; Brecktnridge Democrat— Where the New Orleans Specie was Sent— Redemption Only Through the Union—The Fire Zounves Mustered Out and Disbanded— linimniu,s Baby Show—Arrival of. Rebel Prisoners—Deaths in New York—The New York Regatta—Stocks, Markets, &c. tOorrespondonco of The Press.) Bair rORB, June 2,-1862. The following extract from a letter written by a ion ileman in New Orleans (s twenty-years reaident) to his brother in this city, will be found interesting, as it re veals ioveral very important points : New ORLEANS, May 13. 1882. whir DLitt Brio-rnyin : If I had no other Callse for gratification, I should be reconciled to the reoCoupstion of -Ids city by the Untied States forces in enabling me to commnß • —le with to dear relatives once more. That ck" ti m ßca ta tie nea however, doea not constitute the only result. For one, I ant entirely san t willing to resume n ii....wleglance to the old flag. What fonvictions which led•rne to What ever may have been my throw it off, they have nunerg,: sn o° radical, change. I have seen enough to convince me ~s a t th eleader. of this rebellion are a pack of knaves. and an y Go vernment Is preferable to the Min of anarchy eiZ''•- ter' ror the Booth has suffered under them. I will not troi hie you by going into details, suffice It to say, that nine tenths of the population is involved in complete ruin. In the city we are redcced to the verge of starvation. Without the assistance of the United States authorities. I know not what is to become of. us—for 'eveu when sup plies come in we have no money to buy. The only cur rency to Confederate notes and shinplasters. The banks have not a dollar of specie, having sent it all off to At lanta, in Georgia. All that I possessed I was robbed of in this way. General Burer's proclamation No. 24 tells the tale of our sad condition in a few words. Hie appeal to the bonen population will not so unheeded. Whether the Vinton ie ever restored or not, will surely come to the authors of ail our ruin and dis. trelS." a day reckoning Of The First Regiment of New Torik Fire Zonaies were mustered out of service this morning, at Governor's Island, and formally disbanded. •They will receive their pay on Thursday. About fifty of them returned to the seat of war lest week with the militia regiments. The baby show at Barnum's opened to-day. There WAS a very fine collection of babies on hand, and it goes on increasing. The number of ladlee who visited the kineillin to see the infants indicated that Barnum struck. -a responsive chord throughout the community. More nifty be maid about the real merits of the exhibition when it shall have limin - moris matured. . . The steamship Star of the South . (transport), S.- Woodhull. from foitrene Monroe, arrived this morning, with 540 prisoners, in charge of Captain W. J. Mclntire,. company D i 09th New York Volunteers.. The prisoners, with a few' exceptions, belong to North Carolina regi ments, and were taken at Hanover Court Mouse. Capt. Mclntire and his company were stationed on board the 'United States frigate IC/engrais at the time she was sunk by the Merrimac. • The total number of deaths In this city during the . past week was 340, of ,which 191 were children. The principal causes of death were : Infantile convulsions, 14 ; molds, 11 ; scarlet fever, 18 ; diptheria, 10 ; Inflamma tion of the lunge, 16; smallpox, 7; consumption, 68. This Iva decrease of 64 from the deaths of the week previour,• and of 51 froth' the corresponding week last year. • . The New York regatta, which Is to take place on Thursday, is not likely to attract much attention this , season. Holy- thirteen entiies have been made up till this afternoon.

The arrival of papers from England by the Bay of New York brings the intelligence that the, Southern Con federacy is einkiog to its proper level, even in the big roarcr's estimation. That dainty sheet, being unable longer to deny the power of the Borth to saccessfally battle with the South, tune its weapon in another di rection, and discourses thus: "If Richmond is coetured, it will be a tremendous victory to the United Stater," and then goes on to discuss "the difficulties that must arise in governing the South when the United States by continual victories, have brought the rebels within their power." Having already dashed one cup of anticipated dishonor to the North from the lips of the Times, very soon this new concoction will share the same fate; for, if the United Statee can overcome the Sontbrons, they can govern them. It they get the axe within an inch of the nock of rebeldom, as now soon will be, what power bet re beldom can save it felling if the rebels prove trou blesome? This tacit moot by the big men of the rebels in England, that nothing now remains but in dividual obstinacy on the part of Secessionists, mud be a terrible blow to that iofatuated class of human bsinge. The Daily News conies out strongly for the North. Tho .Horning Herald faintly imagines that New Orleans wilt Ito recaptured. The Liverpool Post " is ready at any moment to hear of she proclamation of pewee." All of which speaks conclusively that the English are beginning to get their eyes open. The firm feeling at the Stock Board this morning was bet a continuation of Saturday 't, and fully as large a business wee done, at about the mime prices. United States sixes 1881 declined X on the firet sales, but closed on Saturday's figure. Tha seven.tbtrtles advanced N, on closing bid of Saturday, and falling X on the closing price. Pennsylvania Railroad, Schuylkill Navigation, Elmira Railroad preferred, were firm without change; Beading, at the first board, was steady at 23X, and at the _sewed 24X, with good galas. Philadelphia sixes new, dividend off, brought 100;(; Pennsylvania fives Wale firm at 88%; Schuylkill Navigation sixes 1882, 893!, an advance of 3( on Saturday's sales; North Penn sylvania Railroad tens advanced X, selling at 94; the AEU brought 77, an advance ; 836 was bid for the shares. Minehill Railroad was rather unsteady, falling off from 46X to 44X; Morris Canal Consolidated was firm at 49; Norristown Railroad 48, an advance of X on IBA sirs; Camden and Amboy slam 1883 brought 95, Saturday's figure ; Philadelphia and Erie elxee 91 X, old price; other stocks 'remaining at the figures of last week. Beak shares and passenger railways dull. Quid was steady all day at 3%—considerable amounts changing bands. The tendency is downwards, owing to the disbursements for interest in Now York. Foreign Gold is still dull, no sales of importance occurring. In money matters and commercial paper there is no change. Currency was floating abont in large amounts on the street, but the demand was equal to the supply, and it was all absorbed at 6-10 discounts. Messrs.
