' ■ Cincinnati, Nov. 14,15G2. To the Editor of' The Press :■■■■■ •> Sir .* Since I -wrote you.two; days ago, I hare been to the Covington Barraoks, where I spoke to the-new recruits In from East Tennessee, about three hundred of them. They, were well dressed by,the Government, and are well fed -and com lGrtably lodged. They were glad to see mo. Two of them were in the rebel service and assisted in guarding me while in jail,'eleven months ago. They whispered <to me. then that they were Union men, and that they would desert if ever they got a chance. They'say'they are now just where they desire to be, in the Union army, fight ing: rebels. These Ealt Tennesseans are eager to go into East Tennessee,’and promise, to fight with a will, equal to anything that ever came off'srace the war was inaugurated. ' The East Tennesseans, so destitute, have all been paid off and clothed by the Government, and are now eager to march .upon their own " State. About the time they were paid off, and; when it was' known they were flush . .with money, two or three Jews went up the river, presuming largely upon the; ignorance ;of Tennesseans and their officers, with large supplies of galvanized jeiuelry. They no sooner opened their stooks, than the Tennesseans forced them tqpack up and wade the;Ohio-river, drenching themselves and their brass jewelry ! Served them’perfectly right! ; Before the Tennesseans,got their clothes, and whilst they were naked and barefooted, objects of .pity, the free negroes of- .Gallipolis undertook to make sport of them, and denounced them as “ poor white trash.” They carried their insolence tp. an ex tent thatno men on earth would submit to, and pro voked an attack upon them they will never forget. The Tennesseans came down upon them with a vengeance, killed two, and ohastise'd the rest, after a style that they will not forget as long as they think of “ poor white trash*» from Tennessee !„The Tennesseans swore they had been driven from their* homes, and starved on a forced maroh to'the Ohio river, on account of Southern negroes hold la bondage, and that they did not intend to. be black guarded by Ohio negroes, who had escaped from bondage and set up claims to superiorly. Served them right! , . The public expect active-operations on the part of the army this winter. They demand it, and if something is not done, wo be to this Administra tion ! The country looks for something to be done, when so many men and, so many millions of money are furnished. The whole country is cursing the Administration, and the do-nothing, generals, who have been in charge of the American forces. Ac tion is the word now, and nothing less than a vigo rous prosecution of the war will save the: party in power from an overthrow at once ruinous and dis graceful. The opinion prevails widely that there have been-a set of men in oommand of the army who desired to either favor the Southern rebellion! or protract the war, with a view to break down the party in power, and to build up another party, with an eye to the next Presidential contest. ‘ But the friends of the country blame' the Administra tion for keeping such men in the front ranks of the. army. ■' There is a large influence in the Northwest in favor of protracting the .war, with a vie w totoake money oat of it, and swindle, the Government. There are thousands of swindlers holding-contracts, and officers are. partners in these thieving operations, cheating the Government out of mil lions of dollars. There are some swindlers in this City who have made .hundreds, of thousands out of the Government, and are voting against it, de nouncing it daily, and complaining of the weakness, mismanagement ana culpable remissness of the Ad ministration. Mr. Lincoln would do • well for his Administration, and . for the country, if he would imitate General Jackson, by calling on-his friends to fill the offices of honor and profit within his gift. Inlllinois, Ohio, and-Xndiana, he has crowded men into offices Whose daily business it is to denounce him and his r ‘ Abolition” policy/ They take his bfficesj pocket the.money of the Government, and then turn roiiniind cuise the hand'that fed ihem V . eu ijuanj —«mv-wnWivu-wf-iMvir-;Mrura*iLWt\r'aULI ~ in camps of instruction, I now ask the President, his Secretary of War, And; his generals in com-" *fHfl "ffie/'fiieef^the expectations of the country, or will they play', the fool, as they have been doing for the last twelve months ? Will they prostcute the wsj, 'or will they lie in camps, so as to give Contractors and swindlers a ohanoe to make more money-? ’ I am, &0., •W. G.-Brownlow- THE WAR IN LOUISIANA.

Be‘- Hevlng that the eremy would, by means of the numerous flatboat ferries which I knew were jnthe bayou, probably cross from one side of the bayeu to the other, I took in ' towafiatboat bridge, and carriedit with me all the way, and have it with me now. I.deßtroyed every boat I. passed as a prudential military measure. It has proved of invaluable service to me. I moved on'tfie first day with but one company." of. the' Bth New Hampshire on the light bank. The. enoeny’a . scouts wero continually in sight of.my advanced guard s of cavalry, and, jost before going into camp, one captain ! of the enemy was hilled by my.advanced guard, and threß prisoners were taken. Immediately afterwards one of the, Bth New Hampshire privates on the right bank was taken prisoner by the enemy. -.5 I Btarted on Monday .morning again at six o’clock, but feeling, that the enemy was'-in Borne force on the right bank, X tbrewover the,whole of the Bth New Hampshire and Perkins’ cavalry by means of my floating bridgo, and ln thia order moved down’the bayou)" At eleven o’clock, when I was about two miles above ■ Labadleville, I received the report that the enemy was in toroe about one mile'ahead, on the left bank, and that they, had Btx pieces of artillery. T immediately ordered tour pieces of Oarrnth’s battery up (two pieces were with the rear guard and Thompson’s was already ahead) and formed the 13th Connecticut and 76th Now York in line of battle to support Thompson. Tbe‘o two regiments formed splendidly, and moved at once;torwsrd to the attack, through a dense oanefleld. I moved on with them, and after emerging-fiom the cane fleldr I received the reportthat tbe enemy was in position on the right bank also, and that he had four pieces of ar tillery on that 'side. At the same time I reoeived the re port that the enemy’s'cavalry was- in rear of my rear guard, I immediately swung my bridge across the bayou, ordered eight companies of the 12th Connecticut over to support the ath-Hew Hampshire,leaving two companies of thls rogiment, one section of Oarruth’s battery, and' Williamson’* cavalry, to guard the rear.’ I immediately ordered, alto, that a road be out up the steep bankon both sides of the.bayou for the passage of artillery and my train. I found soon that the enemy on the left bank, after delivering ..only the fire of ■ its -advanced -guard, which killed one of my • cavalry and wounded another,' and killed two horses, had disappeared for some unac countable reason. Fearing some ruse, I iromedlatelfor deied the.l3th Connectlont across the bayou to support the' Bth Hew Hampshire and the 12th- Obnnect'cuV Thompson’s battery to f plsy upon the enemy’s artillery ! on the right bank, which was firing splendidly upon our forces and my : bridge: ordered Oarruth-to-crossover with his two advanced sections, and the 76th Sew’York to support Thompson and guard the head-of the bridge and the front ol the train. ■’< I then crossed over, ordered the Bth New Hampshire to form lire of battle across the road, the 12th Connecti cut to form on Its right, and ordered these forward to attack at ooco. They had scarcely commenced -moving when the 13th Connecticut arrived at a double-quick • frem across the bayou. I immediately ordered: thlß in > reserve. Subsequently, as.the centre guides of* the Bth New Hampshire and tbeulith Connecticut moved iu : different lines of direction. thoy-became sufficiently sepa rated to allow me to throw tbe 13ch Connecticut on the line between the two Tordered this-regiment forward in lino of battle. - The line thus formed advanced steadily ; at my'comnißnd forward) In a very short- time the ene . my’s battery retreated, and aIBO the Infantry "support. The fight did not last long, I-found that the enemy had; four pieceßof artillery In the road.- -It was Connor’s bat tery, Company a, Witber’s'light artillery, commanded by Captain 3. Ealston, (who was wounded and is now a . paroUdprisor.tr ): This battery),Was supported by the ' remnants of 'the IBth Lom'daca and- the Crescent City Bfglments, numbering together about five hundred,men. They were lying down in a ditch on the lower side of a’ * -plantation rosd in the edge of woods at Georgia Hand ling, and immediately ontheleftof.lheba’tory. ..)• '-''lordeicd ehirmishfrs at once in. the woods to Becure CaiTuth arrived about, this time, and I sent • IMg&iWith ook section, and Perkins’, cavalry, in pursuit ebout four miles, Oarruth firing upon the' *gj||Sjs£MEE If.: c'soc bath sides of the bayou - I have jSjSgeMearm.a,ft'atiSjmms’.battery of six oleosa, suppoft- the;3Sd) regiment of Louisian#; '> r olnhteßrr,:w«:sh‘-frontonthekft,bsnk. . - - > ' ■ . 1 lost eigh'een killrd and’eeventy.fonr wounded.

We have bar ted. flva. of the nemy, and have seventeen wonnded tn oar hospital; but I have proof that their loss was greater. I took 166 of the enemy prisoners on the day of- battle, and 42 of them since—total 208. I released them all on parole. The commanding officer of the enemy. Colonel J. P. Mc- PhMttrs, was killed, i I delivered his body to some of his brother officers, who were prisoners, and he was decently Ported near the battle-field, the chaplain of the Bth New Hampshire officiating. One of the pieces of the enemy's artillery broke down' in the retreat; "We secured it; and have it now In our possession. All of iny command did very well, both officers and men. The Bth New Hampshire advanced steadily In front Of the enemy’s battery. The 12 th and lßth Con necticut crossed’ the bridge, formed -in line of "battle under.thevery accurate and Bplendid fire of the enemy's” artillery, wfthont seeming to notice it at *ll. My cavalry, has been of invaluable service to me; both officers and men have done epl ndlilly. IwisbT had four’limes the number, e The signal corps, also, has been of great sOro vice to me.. . • , . I crossed oyer my train and encamped on the' battle; , field j had my own and the enemy's ’ wounded put tn a house which I took as a hospital I went into camp the next morning (yesterday) I moved on down the right bank if the bßydii, throwing over the Toth New York and Williamson's cavalry on the left bank. I left about thirty wounded cl my own, who could not bB moved, and the emmy 's wounded, in charge of Surgeon B • N.

LATE FOREIGN NEWS. THE MAILS BY THE EUROPA. Mr. Cobdens Speech era our Civil War. IKTEBVENTIOir IMPOSSIBLE. The Maritime Law of Nations. MR. BENTIBCK; M. P ,1H FAVOR OF THE REBELLION. . On the 29th ult., Mr. Cobden addressed a large meet icg of his constituents at Mr. Tathem’s machine shop, Bcchdale. The room, which will hold ahout-three thou sandpersonß, was densely crowded; The Mayor of Bpch dale preaided,; and there were present the Mayors from several of tho neighboring towns, a largo proportion of the principal manufacturers, and a mass ofoperatives. : , Mr. Cobden, after speaking of the distress in the cot ton districts, caused by our blockade, proceeded io say: We are placed in this tremendous embarrassment in const auance of, the civil war in America. Now, don't ex pect,me to venture upon greund whioh other politicians have trodden with, X think, doubtful success or ad vantage . to not think I am going to predict what is - going to happen in America, or to set myself up asa judge of the Americans.. What I wish to say is a few words to : throw light on our relations as a nation with the Amer.*. can people I have no doubt whatever that if I had been ah American I should have been true to my peace princi ples. and that I should have been amongst perhaps a very small number who have voted or raised their protest in some shape against this civil war in America. There Is nothing in ihe coutse of that war whioh reconciles me to the brutalities and havoo of Buch a mode of settling hu men disputes, bnt the question we have to ask ourselves is this: What is the position which as a nation we ought to take in regard to the Americans in reference to this dispute ! • There, is no use arguing what was the origin efthe war or to advise itsdiscontinuanee. From the moment the first shot is fired, or the first blow is Btruck, farewell to ell reason and argument. Ton might as'well argue with mad dogs as men when they have once begun to.spill each otbtr’a blood In mortal combat. I was so convinced of that fact during the Crimean war, which you know I opposed; Iwas so convinced of - ihe utter uselessness of raising one’* voice in opposition to war when it had cnee commenced, that I had made up my mind that as long as I was in political life, shontd ;a war again break out between England and any great’ Power, I would never open my mouth upon the subject from the time the first gun was fired until peace was made; because it was only by the exhaustion of one of the parlies engaged in the war that a termination could be arrived at. Book back to bur own history. What did elouuence, however great and masterly in the persons of . Chatham and Burke, do to prevent a war with ths Ame rican colonies, or to Btop it after it had commenced! What did the eloquence of Foxjdo to avert the war with • France which followed the French Bevolution ! There was a man at the commencement of the Crimean: war ;who raised his voice in accents of elcauence, in power of pathos and of argument fit to compare with anythin” thatbyer fell from the lipg of Chatham anil of Burke—l mean your distinguished townsman, my friend Mr Bright—[cheers]— and what was his success 1 Why, they bureed him in effigy for hia pains If, then, we were sojpowerlesa as politicians to check a WBr .at heme, how useless and unavailing it would be in me to presume to affect in the smallest degree the results of the contest in America ! We all regret this dreadful and sanguinary war, but to attempt to scold the Ameri cana for fighting, or to think or reaching them with ar guments when they are standing in mortal combat, with a million of men armed and fighting to the death, would be the greatest waste of intellect we could commit. But it is said by some that thiß war will soon be brought to an end, and brought to an end in a certain way. Now I havetravelied twice nearly through every free Stale in America. I know, most' of the- principal persons en giged in this contest on both sides. .1 have kept myself pretty well informed of all that has been going on in that country ; and though I think I ought to be as well in formed as ibe average ef my countrymen—cabinet minis ters included—yet if you were to ask mo how this con testis to end, I confess that I- should feel totally at a loss to offer an opinion that would be worth the slightest attention on the part of my hearers ; but this I will say, that if X were put to the torture and compelled to offer a guess, I should not make the guiss which Mr. Gladstone andlail Bnssellihave made on the subjeot. [Hear,' hear.] I don’t believe, if the war in America is soon to be bruught to a termination, that it.will be brought to an end by'a separation of rhg sunti, from There qJ it as a thing I'toel great interest in ' hiyself. It maybe considered as utopian, but I have no tTea t sympathy with very great nations. I don’t mysolf aimnathizo largely with those whodestre the greatness of a pwple by a vast extension of empire. What T «i™ to der(lonrro"* ror.'he individual -uran.: He nave had ;great empires is all times. There , were the great’empires of Assyria, Persia, and the rest. What trace, have they left of the individual man 7 Itis ybhilittie States—Greece, for instance,er Italy—which, in-ihe, middle ages,bad so great an effect on the revival of learning, where you eould ride on horseback through two or: in a day or two. These were the countries,where humanity has flourished, and has been glorified. These, no doubt, are'utopian opinions, they : are not’the oplnions of inankind now, and perhaps they ought not to be the .opinion-of .meu.in political Ufa, until we see a better guide to morality'or international law, which wonld assnre to a small State that it would obtain justice at thehandß of a greater one. But leaving the dreams aside, wbat appears to be in the present day the permanent , interchange among the races of man-1 Certainly not a desire to separata, but to agglomerate to .bring together in greater concentration different race* speaking the’same language and professing the same re ligion. Hhat is going on in Italy! What is it that stirs toe heart of Germany ! What is it that moves Hungary 1: It is the nations wishing to oome together. Ten find in Europe no instinct pervading the mass of mankind leading them to separation from each other, bnt there is a joweiful movejcent all through Europe towtrd the agglomeration of the races of na‘io:a. Itis vc rj odd tta- statesmen here, who have aprofound sym pathy with the movement in Italy in favor of unity, cat not appreciate the force of that motive In the present contest in America. Three-fourths of the whole population in; America are how contending against disunion; they are following the inslmciion which is impelling the Italian, the German, and the other populations of Europe; and I have no; doubt that e»fcgteat and dominant motive on their part is that they n» afraid that if they become disnrjted they will be treated as the Italians were treated when they were disuiited—viz : that the foreigner will come and set his intrusive foot amongst them, and play off one against the other, to the degradation and possible sub jection of the whole. These are powerful motives, and, if they are operating as they appear to operate, they may lead to a mnch more protracted conte. t than has been piedlcted by seme of onr.statesmenbut the bußi ness which .we really have here as Englishmen Is not to epecnlate on what the Americans will do, for they will act totally independent of us. Let ,us give them our S 3 mpathy while we lament over a great mlsfoyivine, but do not let ns attempt to scold, and worry, and dictate to them,' or even predict for them what will happen, , - But what is onr duty'toward* them in this matter’ : We have talked of strict neuiiality. I wish our states men, and patticularly onr Cabinet Ministers, would en- . - force upon their own tongues a little of that principle of non intervention' which they profess to apply to their • diplomacy, [Laughter and cheers ] We are told very frequently at public meetings thatlwe must reoogriize the South, but the recognition of the South Is always coupled with another object—namely, to obtain the cotton yon want—because, if.it were notfer-the distress brought on us by the civil war in America, I do not think hn mainly would indnoe us to, interfere any more than 14 15*® in any other ; war to jjry 0 f the world.

Why, in tbefirat place, they have ■invariably " upheld and maintained up to the out break of the present civil war the institution of slavery; '.and they have gone further—they have deolared that the black man is unfit to exist with'n the precincts of civiliza tion., They deny him rihe.right of a human being; and yet these men arrogate, to themselves the title of Aboli tionists.: Wby; there never was a ranker, or grosser, or more monstrous farce than their attempting so to desig nate themselves. [Hear, hear] So long as slavery was profitable to them they were perfectly prepared to sup port it; the moment they sew a pecuniary advantage in dto'siming against slavery they began to declaim against it, and that 1b the “ abolition” feeling in the Northern States cf America. But they have gone further. They have issued within tie last few weeks—ulmoat within the last few days—a proclamation not against the institution of slavery, but ■ inciting the Blavea in the' South to acts of murder and ar£oj,whioh at once describes the feeling with which they originally looked upon the Institution of slavery— viz: 'as one which was only to he dealt with for political or for profitable objects; and they have at the same time Bhown that they are utterly divested of the com mon feelings of humanity. [Hear, bear.] Let any man for a moment figure to himself what would be the effect in the Southern States if the proclamation of Mr. Lincoln on the subject of slavery were acted upon. Why, It would lead to a wholesale massacre of human bcinis, black and white, so extensive and so horrible that I will undertake to say there is nothing in the his tory of the known world which could be compared to it; . end yet these are the men who cow turn round* and ask for the sy mpatby of Englishmen to their newly assumed character ot|the;aholitiODista of slavery. Why, the northerners owe their very existence to a successful rebellion. But for the results of that success ful rebellion, they would have been, Uke any other colony of this country, subject to the Government of England, subject to the taxation of England, and virtually subjects cfEniland, aslamhappy to think we all are.

In Jsnuarjf, 18S1, the Americans bad forty-one ves icle of all rates in commission. Thera are now taro hundred and ‘fifty- six men-of war carrying the Federal flay, so that the nary has been multiplied sixfold In less than 1 two years. This, boweTer, though denoting a wonderful effort on the part of the nation, is not a very ext' aordinary result when the circumstances are re viewed! On the same conditions, we could send a thousand cruisers to sen in even sa shorter time. ■ The fact -is, as we have before taken occasion to;re mark, that the Americans were driven oat of their old tactics by the sharp pressure of instant . necessity. Instead of concentrating their energies and their’ expenditure on 1 one or two monstrous speci mens of their respective classes, they pressed, at once into their service every Seating vessel that could be. found. Biver steamers, ferry-boats, mall packets, mer chantmen, and oo a titers were all bought up, hastily aimed, and'sent to sea under the pennant. The result, ot conrße, was an astonishing increase of the national marine, and as il happenedj an effioieatone; too. The Fcderais were fighting agaigtt' an- enfsny'who had no navy at aU,,and consequently any fleet was good- enough tor lire pqrpoßO. A realty effective eaundron might have .made short work of these makeshifts, but the Oonfede rates had no squadron of any kind, and so tho oxtom •porized,fleet of the Northerners succeeded in keeping the tea and blockading the ports of the helpless Bomb. At the present moment they have between 25 and SO of these -vessela actually afloat, and no fewer than thirty seven- building. Tef even here we must not delude onr , selves,with the, belief that the “ iron-dad steamer "of the Federilnsvy list represents anything liks such vessels as are now -included in our own squadron at Lisbon. The s same urgtncyjin the demand,-and the same peculiarity!!! the contemplated service, have been at work here also to affect the efficiency of the ships turned out. We know bv experience .what is required for such constructions as these; and when'we hear that even improved and power ful models are launched in a few months, and for £BO.OOO apiece, we can form a very good idea of their general, quality.- * With these qualifications, however, the new Federal, r-avy njaycertaiulybe regarded aa a remarkable crea tion. That very Government which a few months ago bad but 40 men of war afloat has now a .blockading , i quadron of SI vessels in the South Atlantic, and another ct 43 In the North Atlantic. It has a third squadron of 67 ihips in the West Gulf, and a fourth of 21 ships in tie East Gulf. Besides tbese, tbero Is a flotilla in , the Pptcmac numbering 24 vessels, and another in the Mis sissippi comprising 29. The chief portionof the navy, itwtllibusbe seep, is employed on home service in the prosecution of the civil war, but foreign stations are not entirely neglected- The Pacific rquabron has five ships; that in the Mediterranean as many more.

A Sto?.y for the Superstitious—A few weeks ago, in a flourishing town of India, a personage of conside rable local importance had seme property stolen front him, and he proceeded accordingly to discover the thief by the ordeal of the saucer. He took a brass saucer, pronounced over it words- of potent magic, aad weird sentences from the.

It staggered a little at fin t, as if undecided in its proceedings, hot soon took itr course towards and down the main sireet of the town. On it roiled, upheld by divine power, untouohed by human hands, and never fa!|ered till it turned at a sharp aDgle down a lane, and stepped opposite a closed door. Still itjdid not fail, but remained poised on edge, while the attending crowd shouted to the inmatts to undo the bolt. The owner himself came down,"and no sooner had he opened the door than the saucer leaped up and fixed itself on hie head. He fell on his knees, confessed the crime, and was brought up before the magistrates. The most curious part of the story is to come. He was not guilty ; the stolen property was r, covered in another man's house and the real thief was JdißCovered. The first culprit declared that his confession was made under the inflnt nee of religions excitement and superstitions fear of magic; and by degrees thebuth came out that the saucer had been pushed along hr an accomplice of the real thief, and had never leaped on the man’s head at all.
