1 ,11T,C55, FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1862 Ting thril.ing words of 4 General McCLEr.ram could be published at no more fitting time. The country will , read with enthusiasm tho eloquent Eel:dm:ea of our, young commander. Rememberirg the associations surrounding him—the brief and brilliant career through which he has passed—the masterly strategy which he has shown in every step of his CA- A er—his ss victory at Yorktown—: the rapidity and vigor with Which he has marched up the peninsula and invested Rich mond—his countrymen wilt find in his ad dress to his troops an earnest of what is to come. They will find, too, a fitting tribute to all that is past. No army in the service of the Union has done more nobly than this army of the Potomac. Its history has been one of endurance, patience, hard ship, and devotion. Buried in the snow and frost and mud of a Virginia winter—silent and Inactive for nine months within cannon sound of the enemy, this army has proved in the hour of triAl the virtue and effi ciency of its long wt eks of discipline and mi litary preparation. Its general has shown the finest qualities of a commander, abundantly vindicating the confidence of his friends, and removing the doubts of those who were disposed to criticise and complain. BEAUREGARD'S artufhas melted away in the West, and, it we road the news correctly, Memphis is in the bands of the Union forces, and with it the entire line of the Mississippi river. We have surrounded the South with a chain of armies from Texas to Harperjs Ferry. We have forced the rebellion into Virginia and the cotton States. In the cotton States it is yielding to the genies of FILLLECK, who seems to have nothing left but a triumphant march to Montgomery and Charleston. In the cast it has concentrated its power at Richmond, and declared that the Confederacy must perish or triumph on the banks of the Chickahominy. On the issue of the fight to come depends the speedy return of peace. Victory at Richmond will close the Confederate conspiracy. More lives must be lost; more blood must be shed ; more privations must be endured ; bat the end is at hand. The shock will be ter rible ; the rests t fall of woe to thousands ; tut it will terminate treason forever, and establish republican freedom on this conti nent until the end of 4ime. Os ONE of the pages of our Wednesday's issue a correspondent in He LLECK'S army recorded, with touching vividness, a death-scone in camp. It was nothing unusual—only a scene that is being enacted a hundred limos daily in our armies—only a heart, bound to lite by all the sweetest ties of home and kindred, beating its last, low pulsations beneath the scientific ear of the surgeon; not the tender pressure of a wife's band—only an eye that bad widened with paternal pride, looking anxiously, through the gathering film, for some responsive glance of affection—only a tongue that had moulded childish prattle into "papa," moaning feebly, yet with plaintive iteration, its last words— cc and can't see my little boy, neither." Only one—one more victim to the God-defying curse that has brought all this misery upon ns. Hundreds, thousands, are passing through the same last agony, with the same love-longings and life-yearnings unfulfilled. On the next page were extensive advertise ments. of "watering piracies," ccmonntain heights," " mineral springs," "quiet country homes," with such soft rhetoric of cc romantic • scenery," with such glib promises of cc every. attraction to the health-seeker and pleasure"- seeker," that one could readily yield any margin to the national prosperity, but never, f or a momen t, imagine that the national ex istence was imperilled ; that the country was clasped in a death-wrestle with the most ter rible foe she could ever encounter. Yet, these two pages exactly epitomize the position of the North. Happy is it for us fast the com mercial factor of our political life is so health fully developed. Summer is on us. Wo have looked forward with anxiety to see if cc the season" would make its accustomed demands, and if our community would repeat its usual reply. All doubts on this score are satisfied; the induce ments of old are offered, the respondents of old accept them. Heavy arms and brains are preparing to rest; ledger leaves are turned more lazily ; yard-sticks move not with winter nimbleness; incredible as it may seem, lawyers plead more and - more stupidly—even the dis trict attorney haranguing with less violence as the dismal contrast between the penitentiary and green fields is made more apparent by each new gush of sunshine; physicians feel ingly recommend country air; and the clergy are not ruffled by the summer winds that ruffle their manuscripts. The well aro sighing for change ; the sick are breathing new life upon even prospective wafts of mountain or of sea air; the votaries of fashion are dreaming of resplendent toilettes, hops, and moonlight walks. All aro preparing to indulge their tastes, as if the year just passed had not been dyed in blood. Such an exhibition may seem heartless in a personal point-of view; but, considered poli tically, it is the most hopeful sign of the times. All Tile, individual, social, or national, . is au equipoise of antagonisms ; and It is sim ply a truism to assert that health is a due pie- nervation of the balance. These social im pulses, following their accustomed channels, are indicative of high conmercial prosperity; and as long as the supply is so full, the waste on the Potomac or the Mississippi may be what it may. It Is not its military disasters so much as the death of its financial and the rottenness of its social institutions, that will destroy the South. The summer brings to it, also, desolated .homes, but it brings nothing else. There is no counterbalancing agenay of social enjoyment or commercial prosperity in any quarter. All is drear and desolate. Even the wealthy aristocrats, whose whole lives used to be . given to pleasure, can find no op= portunity now for indulgence. ' Their news papers teem with pa,sages similar to'lle.first. quoted above; but not one can be foiled like the second. Is not this alone enough to pro phesy the issue of the conflict? - A Pitman or JUSTICE " sends us a com munication, in reference to the remarks we saw fit to m• ke, yest: rday in relation to the Philadelphia Club„askiug us to disavow any intention of centuriug a member of the club, whom be mentions by name. • We have no 'desire of entering into any controversy with this anonymous correspondent, who does not even do us the honor to give us his name, - but - assumes .an attribute in his signa ture which will apply to thousands of- others. We are not aware of "having bestowed a thought upon the gentleman ho mentions. We certainly have been too much engaged in other matters to give any time to the investi gation of his loyalty. His ardent and anony mous friend tures him badly when he brings a certificate of.lis loyally to the morning news papers, anditse publication of such certificate would do :mora harm than any possible drisitittatiOridi`eritliisrn we could make.

We would not allude to it, however, except to express the pride we feel at reading the accounts of his behavior at the battle of the Chick.a hominy. According to the obscure accounts we have it will he seen that, with his NeW, Jersey brigiiiiP, he behaved gloriously. •At times compelled to sustain the brunt of the rebel onset, and frequently placed in a posi tion to check strategic movements of the enemy, he did his duty at all . times like a gallant and accomplished soldier.

LONDON AND LIVERPOOL JOURNALS, Of the 24th ➢fay, have reached us. They represent the Continent es comparatively quiet, except in Italy, where the Neapolitans were'half mad with joy at the visit of VICTOR EMMANUEL, and in Prussia, where the new Parliament bad met, and the King had held out some promise of future good government, which his people wholly discredit. The Viceroy of Egypt had arrived at Paris, en route to England, and was a guest in the Tuileries. It is positively af firmed in the Paris papers that, at any cost, France will endeavor to obtain possession of the city of Mexico, and retain it for three year, "te allow time for the development of the national will "—inlayer of a monarchy? In view of this, perhaps, the Archduke MAX(- MILIAN was about visiting NAPOLEON in Paris. The case of the British steamer Bermuda, seized at sea by the United States steam war ship Mercedita, and brought into this port, a month ago, for conveying military stores to the Confederates, has been mentioned in Pitt= 'lament, and declared to have been referred`to• the law-officers of the Crown. Their opinion as to the legality of the capture bad not been delivered, nor will it avail much, founded as it must be on ex parte statements. In Parliament, too, Lord PALMERSTON had declared that to keep on good terms with France, it was necessary to have a strong naval force, equal, or superior, to .that of France, and that France had eleven iron-clad vessels more than-England, which could not be tolerated. The Times infers, from the ease with which New Orleans was captured, that forts are but small defences against mailed steamers. It says: " It seems as if the American war would furnish ns with illustrations of all the de bateable points in warlike science. The Merri mac settled the question of wooden ships, and now the capture of New Orleans bas read us a timely lesson on, the efficiency of stationary forts against iron-cased vessels." Further on it repeats, while waiting farther details, that " gunboats have beaten forts," and says, "one cannot read such a story without unpleasant rt fit etions on the possible inefficiency of those national defences which have cost and aro coking us so much pains and money." Tho same journal declares, in its New York letter, that there are mapy grounds for believing that the real object of - M. MEacisit's visit to Richmond " was to convey to Mr. JEFFERSON Davis, on the part of the Emperor of the -French, a proposition of peace, and a promise of his intermediation to procure a general amnesty." The Press, Mr. DISRAELI'S orglu: says that Id. Idnitersa, "instigated by Mr. SF:WARD, who would gladly lead the public to suppose that some difference existed between the French and English Governments on the American question, went to Richmond entirely on Ins mutt responsibility, and that his proceed ings there have since been disavowed by the 'French Government." Lord PALMERSTON de clared in the Rouse of Commons, on the 19th ult., " Lord 'ams and M. MERCER, I am hap py to say, are in constant and friendly. commu nication ; neither of them has done anything without communication with the other. There has been no concealment; there has been what I may call joint action. The two Ministers have worked and co-operated almost as if re presenting the same Government; and tiny have exhibited the most perfect good faith' to wards each Lther in their negotiations with the Cabinet at Washington." OUR READERS are aware of the infamous course pursued by the Christian Observer, pri or to its suppression in this city, in the. spring of 1861. Tho course of the aged editor of that &hest, tho Rev. A. CONVERSE, D.D., was often questionable, even before he became an avowed 'Secessionist. Daring the Revival of 1857-'5B, it was no uncommon thing for him to play the .3011 N B. Ftorn with whole columns of our re • ports of religious gatherings, without a sylls blot of credit, and when we ventured to remind bwkof his Christian duty in this particular, he showed temper by ventilating his wrath in a characteristic editorial—a gloomy . compcund of misrepresentation and self glory about his years, and the gray hairs which he has since stained with open treason. •So r too, in ecclesiastical matters, he shame 'fully misrepresented his denomination (Now School Presbyterian) on the abstract question of human slavery, 'of which . Dr. Com - sass has long been an abject worshipper ander the exploded pretence of its being.a Divine insti tution. For some months previous to the out break of the rebellion, out of respect for his Southern subscribers, he' published the Ob server simultaneously in Philadelphia and Richmond. After the fall of Fort Sump; ter, he published a leader so strongly sympathizing with the rebel cause that he was called to account 4or it, by a por tion of the secular press of our city. Of course, he flew into another rage, and, like another PETER, denied the charge with words, as good as his oath, no doubt, avowing that "he was in favor of the Union, the Constitution, and the laws." But the bad leaven of Secession was working, and what be vainly sought to disguise by subterfuge, soon attained that pitch of fully to which treason against a ntsn'S God and country in evitably leads. The Observer, notwithstand ing the Union pretensions of its aged editor, grew more 6 ( Secesh " in tone from week to week, until, finally, it was abated as a nui sance, after which this immaculate Union patriarch went snivelling about our streets and Union prayer-meetings, affirming, solemnly that be was ce a true Union man." It is recorded that c , JUDAS by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place." Dr. Cos vElt SE, after his fall, did the same thing, by going to Richmond, the capital of rebel dom, where, for the last eight months, he has been publishing the Christian Observer, sharing the responsibilities of his poisonous sheet with a tender son and associate, Mr. F. Bear . Errs CONVERSE. The number of that paper un der date of May 8, 1862, is before us, through the comtesy of a gentleman. now ministering to the sick and wounded at Yorktown. In it this hoary-headed traitor unfurls his true colors. There is no adulation too ,gross for Mai to offer at the feet of his Se cession god ; no epithet too severe fur the men who are now giving their lives to preserve the country which he is seeking to destroy. With characteristic ill temper he growls about the suspension of the cc Confede rate mails, - cutting off a thousand subscribers id the Confederate States." In the same arti cle we are told that He came to Richmond to labor and stiffer with the people," and in the next sentence that" If the Lo:d continuos to bless our (his) efforts, the paper will be sus tained." This prating about the Lord's con -1171104 a biesring, which, from his own show ing, has hitherto been nothing more nor less than an unmitigated curse, l is - very curious. pis neat article is a philosophical disquisi tion upon "God's Purposes in War," which be concludes, in the present war, are, to make a " separation of these States in order to crush out the malign fanaticism which has corrupted religion extensively at the North." Orulh out ,' is a suggestive text, but time will probably show that Dr. CONVERSE has not quite risen to the full force of its application. In becoming the ecclesiastical mouthpiece of treason, the Doctor's iclaith," such as it is, seems to have been greatly. s'rengthened. Be says cc The fall of New Orleans, and the threatened attack . upon our city, should dishearten no one, and create no panic among our citizens," adding, "that it is time to look to . God for succor, and not to distrust his Providence or Grace." So it appears that all their former pretensions to cc trusting in God," has been a mere sham, to curry favor with the world! Was there ever such sacrilege ! But this c{ true Union man" magnifies his office, (as a libeller and traitor,)_ in the next article, by rebuking the Rev. Mr. VAN ANTWERP, Of Beaufort, N. C., for having "prayed for the President of the United States ;" by exulting in the fact that the Rev. (how we do abhor this prefix reverend to such ii yevesend hypocrites I) Mr. SYLB, of Washing liori, has been sustained by his congregation in refusing to read Bishop Warm:Nal:apes thanks giving prayer for Union victories, and lay ac cusing President LINCOLN of being an infatua ted fanatic and abolitionist for having kept his oath of office. We ought to add that he is also grandiloquent in his thanks for the grow -1 ing morality of-the Confederate army, and their greater sobriety--as if anything else than the want of liquor kept them from drunken ness. Dr. CONVERSE is an old man ; he seems to take special delight in alluding to his frosted lochs, and we have been taught from childhood to regard gray hairs as honorable. Notts°, however, when they become the mere Wage of a . whited sepulchre. I - Aturacrry is essential to an English Prime Minister. It carried Prrr through various difficulties during twenty years ; it stood with CASTLEREAGII, as a substitute for talent, du 'ring a like period; it enabled WELLINGTON to carry Catholic Emancipation against the wishes of his S6vereign arid the Aristocracy; it was PEEL'S mainstay when, throwing his party overboard, he surrendered Eogland to the Manchester theory of Free Trade. At pre sent, this same audacity has made Piamsasrorr affirm, in a Parliamentary debate, that the mutual relations of France and England were Lever more friendly and stable—and this while the Paris journals, which cannot utter an opi nion or enunciate a fact without-Imperial per mission, not only insinuate but complain that England has used France very badly in reti ring from the Mexican imbroglio. Mr. DISRAELI expressed the opinion of a large number of his countrymen when he suggested that if France were so very much England's friend there was no necessity in arming against her. Lord PALMERSTON ad mitted that England has gone and is going to tremendous expense to maintain . as large an armament as France, but declared that ge as it was not the policy of England to be at the mercy of any ally, she must, in the matter of armament, more than keep pace with her neighbors." On which we only observe that the alliance must be of a very peculiar cha racter-when each party is bristling with re volvers, swords, and bowie-knives, and keep. ing a watchful eye upon his dearly-beloved friend's movements. On the Mexican complication, PALMZIISTON maintained a prudent silence. He could not explain- without justifying his policy, and, if he told the truth, his explanation would give mortal offence to NAPOLEQN. The plain facts may be briefly stated. Mexico owes certain monies ,to some European Powers in the fol lowing relative proportions : 15 to England, 2 to Spain, and 1 to France. NAPPLEON adroitly engages these three Powers to make an alli ance for the purpose of invading Mexico, and thereby &lying it into some settlement of the debt. France .bas the smallest interest in this. Spain, which has lately been in a state of military recuperation, went in—partly to show her strength and partly in the hope of re establishing Royalty in Mexico, with a Spanish prince to representit. England joined, because NAPOLEON asked her. Very soon, Narouron disclosed his project of placing the crown of Mexico on the head of an Austrian prince, nominally as a descendant of the Em peror CHARLES the Fifth, but really to strengthen the relations of France with Aus tria. On this, England backed out and with drew her armament, and Spain has followed this example. The end is, the French army in. Mexico is ccin 'A tight place," and may probably have to return without any result except defeat and disappointment. No doubt, England did wisely in retiring, at the earliest opportunity, from this anti- Mexican conspiracy. The wonder is that, after having spent five hundred millions of dollars in the Russian war, into which she was coaxed by NAPOLEON, who bad his own pur poses to gain, England should have been jockeyed by France, in the same way, a se cond time. Meanwhile the perfidy and treach ery of England have become standing subjects of reproach in the leading journals of , Paris. PALMERSTON, however, insists that the good feeling between France and England continues undiminished. After this, he may be expected to assert anything. Meanwhile, both countries continue their preparations, and indeed the famon cinlente cordiale seems likely to eirdiTi LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL." WASHINGTON, June 5, 1862. There is no better test of the principles in volved in the present struggle than the con duct of nearly all the foreign Powers, with the single exception of Russia.. In the old world and in the new, in Europe and in North and South America, they have been, almost without exception, the carping, sneering, and insidious foes of the American Republic. Al though the slaveholding filibusteros led the raids into Central America and Cuba—although the war with Mexico was fought to add a now slave State to- the Union—although every adventure, or threat, whether against Grana da, Chili, Brazil, or Paraguay, was set on foot or proclaimed . and enforced fur Southern interests, there has been no expressed sympathy against the rebellion among the rulers or the peoples of these countries, ani not the slightest manifestation of,sympathy with the Federal Government. Jt was worse in Europe; Nearly all the diplomatic repre sentatives of the great Powers, in this city, and almost every one of their consuls at other points, were directly or secretly adverse to us. England was not. only willing, but eager to. strike for the pro-slavery rebellion, In the face of her ten thousand protests against slavery. France was anxious to press England into Intervention, and did not hesitate herself, to intervene in Mexi co, because, to use the language of the London Times, of the 15th of May, the Anglo-Americans were absorbed n in their own intestine brawls," and er could do nothing to prevent the establishment , on their frontiers of the most formidable neighbor who could possibly place himself there." Austria was silent and hostile. Prussia, though profess edly friendly, coldly neutral. Free Italy; ever with Garibaldi so ready to speak out for Freedom at other times, was strangely in different. Except a few public meetings in Ireland and a speech, now and then, from Bright and Cobden, we were wholly ,without foreign friends. The most busy of our adver saries was, undoubtedly, England. She gave the rebels effective aid. Her ports were open to their privateers; her merchants exchanged arms for. Southern cotton, and her statesmen were . vigilant in their plans to crowd us into a war, from which the moral courage of President Lincoln, alone, delivered us. Predictions that the struggle to put down the rebellion would be a failure— that the South never could be subjugated— that the blockade would; be ineffectual—that our finances would fall short, and our debt ex pand and explode in General Bankruptcy— were sown like poisonous seed by the British newspapers all over the world, until the name of an American became a by.-word and a hiss ing at every court, at every political club, and in every social circle. • The rebellion was stimulated by these ails-, picious auxiliaries. Its leaders .arrogated to themselves the control of a united South, and built confidently on a divided North. The tempting vision of foreign intervention and recognition intoxicated them. The stolen wealth and arms of the United States fed and armed their •trtioPs ; and their 'cotton was sent forth to be exchanged for conlinodities freely offered by foreign traders, and greedily desired by domestic traitors. The single animating motive that fired this mass of enmity was hostility to democratic principles and democratic institutions. In some quarters it assumed the shspe of apprehension of the growth of the United States; but in all, the principal and Pervading element was the aristocratic hatred of constitutional liberty. At this moment, you cannot point me to an enemy of the just side of this war, whether a foreign potentate, a Southern traitor in arms, or a secret sympathizer with the Rebellion in the loyal States, who is not the known enemy of a liberal government, the devotee of slavery, Or the worshipper of that school of dema gogues who think the Northern people inferior to the Southern parvenues and politicians. ' Against this formidable array, which inclu ded distant nations, and consolidated the wants of commerce, the antipathies of race, and the ambitions of slavery and Abolitionism, the American people presented themselves singly and alone. They had no outside friends. They ,bad no navy, or, at best, a phantom fleet, scat tered into remote seas by suborned traitors. They had no army, or, at best, a single division or two, and these had been distributed by com panies to defend a vast * frontier against preda tory Indian tribes. Many of their forts, and mints, and custom-houses, were stolen. Many of their most experienced officers fled' into the ranks of Secession. The departments were filled . with, spies. The politics of the free States had been polluted' by the subtle poison of the creed of Calhoun, and pros tituted to the.base cowardice of Buchanan. Thus unassisted and: disarmed; thus ragged, despoiled, and deserted, they began the work of defence and of self-preservation. How they have progressed to the present pe riod the world knows; What they have done fills the broad pages of a volume that all men may read and wonder at. In the great book of his tory it has no parallel. age, no people, no civilization, ancient or modern, from the birth'of our Saviour dhwn to the preient hour' THE PRESS. - PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY. JUNE 6, 1862. has'achieved so much, recovered so much, and established so much, against so many obstacles and so many enemies. An army of nearly a million has been offered by a population that giVes it without sensibly diminishing the native efficiency of the race in any of the avo cations of life. A navy has been called into being that revolutionizes old systems, and re futes all maritime experience. With the army we have conquered most of the seceded terri tory, or hold it at our will. With the navy we have swept the seas of privateers; blockaded an extended coast, and crush-, ed nearly all the rebel engines of war. Astounding as this picture is, .that which reveals the financial operations of the Government is still more surprising. The pro phecies of partisans ; the speculations of po litical economises; the theories of statesmen, at home and abroad, hive all been dissipated by the extraordinary results that have re warded the efforts of the Secretary of the Treasury. With the double prospect of an unparalleled debt and enormous taxation in view, the loans of the Government have been enthusiastically taken, and its paper money is almost on a par with gold and silver. It is this record that will most puzzle the old world philosophers, standing, as it does, in such striking contrast with the experience of other nations. When to this is added the abound ing prosperity of the free States, the heavy investments in land, and the fact that no hostile foot has evor,yet pressed the soil of the .North and the Northwest, our President may say, speaking for his country to foreign ca villers and domestic sympathizers, "Like en eagle in a dovecot, Fluttered youir voices in Corlole - ALONE I DID I? :" ADDRESS OF GEN.

The final and decisive battle is at hand. Unless you belie your_past history, the result cannot be for a moment doubtful. If the troops who labored so faithfully and fought so gallantly at Yorktown, and who so bravely won the bard fights at Wil liamsburg, West Point, Hanover Court House, and Pair Oaks now prove worthy of their antecedents, the victory is surely ours. The events of ov ery day prove your superiority Wherever you have met the enemy you have beaten him. Wherever you have used the bayo net, be has given way in panic and disorder. I ask of you now one last crowning effort. The enemy has staked his all on the issue of the coming battle. Lot us meet him and 'crush him here in the centre of the rebellion. Soldiers I will be with you in this battle, and share its dangers with you. Oar confidence in each other is now founded upon the past.

Artillery Fight at New Bridge, THE ENEMY REPULSED. MEADOIJARTERS OP GEN, MCCLELLAN'S . ARMY, Thursday Evening, Tune 5. The severe storm which sot in on Tuesday after noon lasted during the whole of yesterday. The water in the Chickahominy rose to an unprece 7 dented height. The railroad trains from. White _House to the - late battle-field were detained for several hours, and the telegraph line was down in many places. A contraband, who left Richmond on - Sunday night, states that all the carts, furniture cars, omnibuses, and carriages, to be found in that city, wore impressed into the service for the purpose of carrying the dead and wounded from the battle field, and, that the Spottswood and Exchange Hotels, together with a number. of public and private buildings, wore turned into hospitals. All the information shows that the enemy suffered terribly. The rebels opened with artillery this morning, hem five. different points opposite Now Bridge, with a -view of preventing the mons:ruction of the bridge. Three of our batteries opened on them, causing them to retreat after a hot fire of two hours. Our loss was one killed and two wounded No further interference took place during the day. A heavy shower, which set in about dark, had the effect of again raising the water in the Chicken hominy. General Birney, of Philadelphia, was relieved of his , command on the battle-field by General Ileintzelman, he having failed to bring his brigade into action when ordered on Saturday. Reconnoissances made to•day show no material change in the enemy's ',coition. Further information received shows that our troops on ,Saturday and Sunday engaged six divi sions instead "of four, making a force of 75,000 rebels.

The Homo thon again went into Committee of the Whole on the elate of the Union, and took up the bill re lative to the enlistment of miuore. Mr. IdcPHERSON (Rep.), of 'Pennsylvania, joined issue with the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Voorhees) end the gentleman from Ohio ( slr. Vaqandigham) in their assault upon the Administration, which he claimed was justly entitled to the unreserved and generous confi dence of the people, and of every man of the people who is devoted to the preservation and perpetuation of the Unior, as the greatest political good, without which all other interests, rights and poneesions are compare ively valueleea. He would discuss their measures and doctrines, not their motives, since it did not become this place to cast or attempt to cast suspicion upon the loyalty of any one claiming to be loyal, least of all a member of the American Congress, of whom the suspicion of even shade of disloyalty is an imputation of a dark and damn ing guiltiness equal to any and every crime. But in times of great public danger, when savage toes have handed for the extinction of American nationality, and, indented with bile. powe:eed by demoniac passions, and brutalized by elavery, are poinhog their gleaming bayonets at the nation's heart, and cleaving down the eons of our pride, he considered it, to say the least, in opportune that those whore great responsibility tt is to meet three grave events must withdraw themselves from these duties to ptotect their repntation from the fierce warfare of partisan malienity. He examined the charges m• do ; allowed that the debt is bat 8491.445,951.11, in lets ad of 81,000,000,000, as charged; that the daily ex penditures were a shade over 81,090,000, instead of 83,000 000, as et-tuned; and that the debt a year hence, should the war be continued on the present heels, will be scarcely $1,000,000,000, instead of 82,- 000,000,000, as charged. He defended the Secretary ot the Treasury from the charge of "financial mis menagement,” who had upheld 'the public. credit, and protected its securities; and he eulogized the patient care, clear intelligence, and anxious fidelity of this wise and num man Of the West. He ad verted to the charge of proportionate extravagance per man compared with the Mexican War, and proved the reverse to be tun fact, and that, notwithstanding the in creased pay given officers and men, the immense supplies which became sec seary to make np the loss of the Pen sacola and Norfolk navy yards, the removals of muskets, rifles, and munitions of war by Floyd to Southern arsenals, and the unparalleled embarrassments of the Government, the cost per man is now no larger than than; and add aced statistic's to prove the care and economy which prevailed, which he believed to bees great as, in times of war, can be expected, or is usually semen d. • He examined various specifications to show that a very email amouct of extravagance was charged; that scarcely any of it was .sustained by the proofs; that most of- ft occurred early in the spring and summer of 1061, and can be explained for the most nett by the inexperience of the new employes and agents appointed to supply the places e f trained men who resigned and went South. in this connection, he said that, whoever expects the ac curacy, nietbfd. and security of ordinary transactions amid such scenes, and in the presence of such dangers as threfetened te year ago, must be fearfully ignorant of practical affairs, et nureasonably exacting. He analyzed the en:diction') of future annsslsipenditures, and showed that they were at least 50 per cent. higher thee the feats would justify. Referring to the attempt to alarm the country by Ma lone prospects of taxation, be said the people could not thus be driven to avotethelr obligations, and discredit the nation.. Let caucuses meet, addresses be written' • speeches made, and hatilisneS be initiated.

The water Is very high, Heavy Freshet on the Delaware—Great Destruction of Property, DEL/menu WATER Gar, June s.—The freshet in the Delaware Is very heavy, being equal to that of 1841. Large quantities of furniture, store goods, bridges, horses, cattle, &c., are going down the river. All the laidgeson Brodhead's creek, except the railroad bridges, ore gone. The damage to the Delaware, Lackawanna, and West ern Railroad to great, and will perhaps take a week to repair co as to allow tho pus. ge of trains.

Lures, Juno s.—The greatest freshet that has oc curred elute the memorable flood of 1841 is now prevail ing in the rivers Lehigh and Delaware. At this place the lower portion of the town bordering on the two rivers is Inundated, and on River street, along the Delaware, the water bas reached the second stories of the dwellings. The bridges ou the Lehigh between here and Manch Chunk have all been swept away. The Lehigh bridge bore Je partially gone, and will, doubtleee, be washed away. Beata, houses, and lumber cover the surface of the water. The Lehigh seri Delaware Canals are both under water, and the Belvidere, Delaware, and Lehigh Valley Railroads are submerged at several polite. The damage to and deatraction of property will be im mense. All the iron works iu the Lehigh Valley are stopped. The rise of the water was so rapid as to prevent the escape of many persons from their houses, and many have been drowned. The canals will be interrupted for months. There to no telegraphic communication with the towns upon the Lehigh above here. The Lehigh river is now (at 12 o'clock 11.) on a stand. The Delawar a ie still rising. 'EASTON, I'a. June 5,7.3 3 0 P.

It in impossi ble to arrive at any thing like en accurate estimate of the damage caused by the flood, but it will amount to mil. Hone of dollars. The csnala are still overflowed, and the amount of in jury they hare sustained can only be surmised. giro Delaware Canal has probably not been very greatly damaged, and as Oat we have not learned of any injury to the dame upon the Lehigh. The Lehigh Coal and Navigation Compeny'e works were probably much less injured than by the freshet of dS4I, though it may require several months to place them in a navigable condition. No trains have run upon the Lehigh Valley Retiree , ' to-day, and it is feared that the railroad bridge at Mauch Cbtrnk has been swept away. Should thin prove to be the case, the iron furnaces in the valley of the Lehigh will be stopped, as they will not be able to get a supply of coal. There is no doubt that many lives; hare bean lost. Boras with their craws were swept from their moorings and dulled to pieces, and many tenements, with their occupants, were carried away before assistance could be rendered to them. It Is reported that one house, con taining a family of seven neurone, was carried away and hr ot en to pieces mainst olio of the bridges on the river above here. A boatman and his soli were rescued at this place. They lied escaped from their boat to a raft, from which they wore taken. An unfortunate creature was observed upon a pile of boards, which struck against the bridge at this place. The poor fellow passed under the bridge with the wreck . of lumber, but never to roach the surface of the water again. The Lehigh bridge, at this place, is still bat can hardly be regarded as anything more than a mere wreck. The Delaware bridge eustalned but little injury. The railroad bridge la unscathed. The town of Glendon, situated a mile above Boston, cud Inhabited by the employee of the furnace of that Puma, was wholly inundated. The teoemeate, offices, furnace, &c., were entiroly surrounded by the water, which reached nearly to the second stories of the houses. Our water works and gas works were stopped by the flood. We have beard the damage estimated at ten mil lions of dollars inrouud numbers. The Interruptiou to canal navigation, and the conse quent etoppage of coal operations, together with the in , terruption to the iron manufactures, will form no incon sit et able item of the incidental damages to be included in the estimate. • , 105,111 84 170,900 00 7 3.10 120,523,450 00 6 50,000,000 00 6 47,196,000 -00 2,699,400 00 4 5,913.042 21 5 44,865,524 35 50,778,666 sr) The Bombnrdmeut of Fort Wright The Wounded Pennsylvanians Arrival of Col.

The French Government cherished no friendly sentiments towards up, and the people were little better. But Prince Napoleon was our most sincere, eer iest friend, and lost no occasion to dolls friendly offices. The British Ministry was eividell.

The Queeoothenever she could ray a word, always ex pressed the most decided sympathy with us.

Let bi-: I.et Mr.— pass, as I have, through most of Virginia, and listen to three even who style themselves Union men, and even be would be disgusted rah the deep seated corruption of these deluded peoplie. There are no patriots in Virginia, and there have been none since Bull Bun was lost. The Union men, so-called, are neutrals only and even that only while the Federal army is in their neighborhood. They are deceitful, bleed-thirsty, and Desalt'', and their conduct, in shooting down our pickets, and insulting our troops wherever we have marched, charging us fonr prices for evo ri thing we buy of them, and even then sell ing to us with condescension, has so infused a spirit of hatred into our men and officers, that to gasped the conclusion of a dishonorable pence, or a compromise, Would be disastrous to the discipline of the troops. I am not at all pleased with a military life, and would, of all thinge„ like to go back home ; but I. say frankly, that before I would have these scoundrels escape from the punishment justly due them, I would remain in the army and fight on without the hope of promotion until I was gray and ready to step into an honorable grave. Tiny must be made to sue for peace and lay down their arms. Their leaders must be given up to the ba.tir, and the system which has caused this war must be mired out.

It is a spirited and patri otic song, and deserves by its own merit, as well as the noble purpose to which the profits of its sale are devoted, to become widely popular. The la dies interested in the hospitals appeal in this way, through the liberality of Signor Rondinella, to the musical and patriotic public, which should fittingly respond. The song is for sale at all the music stores, and hospitals, and by the ladies of the Re lief Committee.

To TUE EDITOR or "Tits Puess:" In company with many others, I woe much pleased with your re marks to-day in reference to the Secession members tho Philadelphia Club. This nuisance, in a loyal * has been borne with long enough, and it is really that the loyal members or the Club (who are nine-te of the whole) should purge their institution of a men who are a disgrace to any Club out of Jed - D dominions, and who are not entitled to ana respect any personal met its of their own. There was quite an excitement in the Club on the of February last, a number of loyal members 'montane- - -ously taking an oath of allegiance and resolving that no more treason should be talked in the Club, the "fighting member" of the party declaring that he would make it a personal matter. Why has so much good, loyal reso lution fallen through? And who aro thee° Secession members? Mellow; law yers atd elennut young men of means and plentiful lack of brains. Ibsen beard that one member, some time since, proposed the health of Jeff Davis at the Club, for which he was very properly rebuked by a loyal member. But why wasn't la expelled F IJ:ki June 5, 1862 The Subjugation of the . South [From the London Times, Mar 19 ] The redeemls aro working out the old metaphor, and eating up the South leaf by leaf, as amen would oat an attlchoke. It is a pleasant occupation to one, not too hungry, leisurely inclined, and with plenty of time on his bands; but the artichoke is not a vegetable exactly adapted to a passenger who has but ten miantes for hie ()mote, and who hes to make bra way by the express train, which will not wait. New Orleans was a very large leaf, quietly pulled off and peaceably aiacussed, and now 1 orktown is another, enjoyed with wand ease and comfort. To a military mind the evacua tion of Yorktown will probably cause no very great satonislintebt. So long at the wholesome terror imposed by the Merrimac continued, loratovna wee a good etrategic position. Directly, however, it be gan to be suspected that the Merrimac was not likely to repeat the achievement of Hampton Beads, there was a, strong posaltility of a fleet of ehipe-of.war and trans- - rents running by the river forts on the York river and 'the James river, and lauding an army In the rear of the Confederate lines, thus cutting them off front Richmond, and putting them between two tires. Napoleon might possibly have been glad of an opportunity to annihilate, •in two blows, a thus divided enemy; lint it is not in ac cordance with what we know of Confederate tactics to seek any such dangerous' opportunities. The Fabian policy. has hitherto been the policy of the South. They have from the first been hoping that something might turn up. Originally they believed Europe would come is a Mass to rescue Fame Cotton Disappointed in that, they were convinced that the North would be divided, and flee that the funds would fail. Now they aro pro ' hably living partly upon the remnants of all these broxen hopes, and partly upon the anticipation that the heats of summer will melt away the hosts they cannot van quieb. Delay they think to be equal to victory, and to genie extent they are doubting right But it is a policy which may be carried tea far, and, bit by bit, they may glee up 30 much that they may at tart have nothing ' very touch worth fighting for. The danger of being surrounded would, however, appear to be a sufficient strategic reason for their last achievement in abandoning their Yet ktown tires. 21 - ow, the capture of Richmond would be a tremendous . victory to the Federals. The uumberleas arms of the .great invasion are strMchea out over the whole land. The Mheieaippi nmy be said to be forced throughout its entire length, and wherever ships-of-war can float no Confederate 'force can show itself in safety. War has been earrteri an upon a scale never before heard of, at a cost never uelere thought possible, 00d upon principles which to sober europe were thought the mildest delusions. The soldier who Raga-, upon his ray, and spent half a croweLicyle-nrrea pence a day, at least had hiloinifiiinee. Bat here is America, turata...golealtr-,lriending on both aides a million an - 'half sterling a day upon Cu income of h. •ng a day, and going on joyously, with no lack of redlt. We did not expect this in Europe. People at a distance cannot comprehend these popular de lusions. The Tulip Manta, the South Sea Bubble, the ' Greet Darien scheme ; the Vigo Bay scheme in our fathers' days, and, perhaps, the Sues Canal pro ject in our own, are things which people, not in the vortex, look upon with wonder and amazement, and are astounded that they endure an tong as they do.
