SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1862. iSTWe can take no notice of anonymous commiratos tljut. We do not return rejected manuscripts. e&T' Voluntary correspondence solicited bom a U porta of the world, and specially frcm onr different 'military and natal departments. Wien m»d, it will bo-palU for. THE WAR. The intelligence that our armies in the. West will nil shortly move in concert will be hailed with jilosßure by every one who has the success of the ioyal cause at heart.- Those .tried veterans, the heroes of’Henry, Donelson, J»ea. Ridge,, Corinth, and other bloody fields, will soon be on the’ inarch to deal far heavier blows than they have ever dona before,, fad establish the supremacy of the Union and the Constitution over', the fertile Valley of the Mississippi. The only obstacles in the way of opening the •‘Rather of Waters” to its mouth are tfie fortified towns of Vicksburg aud Port Hudson. All that nature and the devices of accomplished engineer officers could do, has been done to make these places impregnable to any force that we can bring against them. To confront these strongholds of the rebellion, and to reduce them to submission to the Constitution and tho. laws, we have two armies, commanded by brave and accomplished officers, ana composed of men who have already been participants in the deadly strife, and [who are only pining for the - word of command that will bring them face to faco with the rebels. In addition to these, we have a gal lant little fleet, whose former achievements are a sure guarantee that in the future they will do as well as; they have done in the past. The expe dition of General MoClemand is now at Columbus,- f but the Government has obtained a large num ber of steamers, and the soldiers will shortly em bark on them. Admiral Porter, with wonderful taot and industry, has refitted the navy made famous by former successes, and has sent several gunboats down the river to reconnoitre the posi tion of the rebels. The army of Gen. Grant, which will undoubtedly co-operate with that of General McClernand, is still at Lagrange, but will also shortly march forward. It is possible that this army, before it reasheS its point of destination, Jaokson, will have to fight a battle or two; but we -are confident that it will be ultimately successful. With two such srmks, may we hot confidently hope that the great Mississippi river will again be free by Christmas ? The Civil Campaign With the meeting of Congsesa on Monday next we shall have the opening of a great civil campaign. We look forward to the new session with much in'eresfc, and not without ‘some solicitude. The members of this great body have a vast responsibility resting upon them. They are fresh from the people, .and they will be called upon to redeem the pledges upon which the people placed them in power. They represent constituencies which no other lcgislators can ever represent in the National Congress. They were chosen in the beginning of this struggle by men who had determined to -endure the trial rather than surrender the precious rights of freemen. They were chosen in a time of peace, and thousands of‘those who gladly and proudly voted tor them how sleep in honorable graves. From their graves these brave men speak and ask their Representatives to defend, in the council 'chamber, the princi ples for which they died upon the battle-field. '.They ask that no effort shall be spared to cripple the power of slavery j that until the end we shall know no legislation, no national policy, no concession, no negotiation, no com promise—nothing but the overthrow of the rebellion, and of everything that has aided and strengthened it. Let every .Representa tive who takes his seat on Monday next say, “ I look upon this war as a contest for the existence of my country. I regard it as the duty of every citizen to defend and sustain the power that wields the resources of the country;for its salvation. That power is the Administration, 1 and I shall sustain it in "all geimumrauu r./CrtULLpl iy.T>r««n>ptntwff nf a ’ 7he members of this Congress will be called" upon to exhibit a high degree ot moral cou rage?"' We have heard it proclaimed so often ithat it is the purpose of the Democratic lead ers to influence and change the sentiment of the .Representatives, that we must warn and encourage our friends who are about to enter upon the gravest epoch of our legislative his tory.- They have done so well heretofore that to fail now* or look back would be shame and death. So many brave words were spoken, and so many brave deeds were done, by this Congress when last its members cenn selled together, that we should look with mortification and chagrin upon any -at tempt to retreat or turn aside. They must be blinded by no ,> temporary- triumph bf a party whose great strength consisted in the absence of our sons and brothers at the bat . tie-field—a party whose leaders have been and are now against the Union, and who, in former days, made the Northern name a by-word and a scorn by their subserviency and obsequious ness to the haughty men of the South. We want no foolish J chabob among the statesmen of this trying time. / Those who change or shape their political career according to the results of such an election as the recent con test in New Yo'k will find themselves in the general day of reckoning among the false ones who abandoned their country. We do not ask at Iheir hands any blind devotion to a party organization, but a simple, hearty devo tion to the Union. They cannot manifest that devotion in a better way than by defending their action hitherto in legislating against the rebellion. Confiscation—emancipation—thetax-MU— the tariff—our jevenu'es—all will be subjects of fierce invective, and bold efforts will be made to nullify or repeal them. But the country will hold him as a traitor to its best interests,- •who, given bis vote to place these measures*off the statute book, should now be come a partner to their repeal. If such a re peal shouldvbe consummated, it would indeed be a dark day for the country, for then our privations, and dangers, and hardships, would all be in vain. The blood we have shed, the money we have spent, the sufferings we have endured, would only be as so many snow-falls since the first winter of our present discontent. This Congress has done so much for universal liberty; it has done so much to advance our country in the p»tli of enlightenment, that we . should be sorry indeed to see any indication of surrender or backsliding. Let them do they have been doiDg, and go oa in the path of trmh and liberty. Let them re member that no measure can be too severe that strikes at rctoliion, and saves the Union; Let ,them sustain the. President and bis Ca binet, and every policy that looks to the coun try’s welfare. -Above all, let them defend every measure of their former sessions as sacred and inviolable ordinances. Then, al though thousands of those who are unfaithful to true principles should curse them n ,w, millions will bless them, and honor their names in generations to come. An Argument from an Enemy. Very seldom do we find ourself in complete accordance wish The Twits upon American affairs. But as to a recent article in that journal) upon the Emperor Napoleon’s recent proposal of mediation, we are disposed, slightly altering the Bristol alderman’s celebrated election speech, when Burke and he were candidates together, to exclaim “Ditto to The Times." It declares that an armisticej which Napoleon proposed, would undoubted ly be very convenient to the South, to Eng land, and to France, —that it would relieve the South of the blockade, —that England would Be able to se tier wits to work, to transfer as much cotton as possible from the South to Lancashire, paying in cash and in arms and everything else that the South greatly needs; but The Times shrewdly inquires, “ What would the North get by it?” and significantly answers, “ It would be a rest to enable her to tie ■sip her right arm.” This is sensible and true, and expresses the universal feeling among ourselves. The Times enters into another phase of the Subject. It puts the point of interference thus : Suppose that England were to go into ah European league, and draw upon herself insult from the United States, England would be compelled to vindicate her honor, and could not back out without discredit. Most probably Napoleon would hope, creep ing out of the trouble himself, to involve England in a war with America. He is not likely to see that hope fulfilled, just yet. Russia, speaking through its official Journal of St. Petersburg, affirms that foreign Powers have no light to interfere in America, and England, in its semi-official Times,; skys, f ‘.Jt the North are ready .t o give up their blockade, they would undoubtedly r&ther gtve it up to France and Russia, in conjunction with us£ than to us alone; but if they are to be forced to givo up, we'hope we shall not be one of the party winch is to compel them.” This is the plainest language that can be employed upon this Subject, and The Times is to be con gratulated on having come to its senses again, as regards the proper policy'of England to wards America. The New Hospital at Chestnut Hill. Much interest is manifested in the organiza tion and opening, of; the great hospital- at Chestnut Hill; nearthis; city, - which' will be one of the most extensive and perfect institu tions of the kind in this country, if not in the world. It has capacities to accommodate from three to five thousand patients, and has been constructed on the best models. Dr. Jos. Hopkinson, a son of the late lamented and" beloved Judge Hopkinson, has been designated as Surgeon in-Chief. He is eminently quali fied, by education and experience, For this responsible and important position, In the management of hospitals he has no superior in the United Statos. In happy accordance with the selection of Dr. Hopkinson, wo hear, with pleasure, that the Rev. Henry S. Spaceman, rector of the Episcopal Church, corner of Twentieth and Cherry streets, in this city, has been made a Chap lain in the United States army by the President, and;assigned to duty at this same hospital. Mr. Spacksian will be remembered as a distinguished Whig leader in times gone by; especially as a manly and eloquent mem ber of the House of Representatives and Senate of this State. He left public life for the min istry, and soon became one of the most distinguished orators and useful clergymen of his denomination. But, while his fitness is beyond dispute, it delights us to add that his loyalty, unlike “ some ungracious pastors” in his own church, is a living, and ever-present faith : his country with him; is only second to his God. . ; ;, LETTER FROM “ OCCASIONAL.” Washington, Nov. 28, 1862. The second session of the Thirty-seventh Congress begins on Monday next, the first of December, and ends on the fourth of March, 1868. Rarely have larger interests, and vaster responsibilities been crowded in a smaller space.- The unity, the vigor, and the patriot ism of the friends "of the Administration in this short session, can alone prepare the way to'a successful future. If they are divided between December, 1862, and March, 1863, their enemies will have an easy triumph in - the coming election, and will succeed in the next Presidential election. Either the new Congress, which is to meet in Washing ton, on the first Monday of December, 1863, will meet simply to ratify and approve the action 'of the present Administration, or to prepare the way for a change in the Govern m< nt, and probably for the ascendency of those who are now rejoicing over the recent Democratic triumphs. It is well, at this hour, to talk plainly to men who agi-ee upon com mon principles, and who should be sincerely united in: support of the Government;, That any Administration managing such a war as the, present, and. having in charge so many stupendous interests, should commit mis takes is inevitable. It would be amazing if it were otherwise. Our adversaries understand this, and nothing delights them more than when, refusing to imitate the close, compact, and unquestionisg organization of the Demo cracy, in its better, and even in its worst days, the men devoted to the common cause, instead of pressing forward in its defence, allo w them selves to be diverted from their plain duty to their own-friends in power and to their own in terests, by quarreling with the President and his constitutional advisers. We have lost more in the past by these dissensions than we can .ever recover in the future, unless daring the coming short session the smoere'advocates of the Union and the Administration, which is the best and only embodiment of the Govern ment, unite at once, and resolve to stand by Mr. Lin is it for the common enemy, to detecFand" punish those wrongs? Is it to be supposed that wc are to be taught our duty by the men who, in their attacks upon tho Administration, have no other idea in view but to destroy that Administration ? I have abundant faith in the Republicans in both branches of the present National Legislature, and I think I know that no malfeasance in office will 1 -be pi rmitted to go unchastised by them. But I venture to repeat now what I have said be fore, that if the same advantages, the same patronage, and the same righteous cause on the one hand, and the same vicious, virulent, and treasonable enemy on the other, could bo used by the very men who are no w antagoniz ing the Administration and opposing the war, there would not be in the free States a single newspaper that would dare to question the ac tion of the Government, or a single politician that; would arrogate to himself the right to attack it. And it is monstrous that,, when these men have nothing real upon which they can stand, they should be permitted by our. selves to embarrass the Administration and to divide us in onr public counsels. I have be fore spoken plain words to onr political friends, and I will therefore be tolerated in the utterance of these honest sentiments upon the eve of the neetiDg of Congress.: Occasional. EUROPE. The Intervention 'Question— Comments of the London Times llie foreignmalls by the Jura arrived here last vv«- ntea Tbeltiest date of these m ails is the 13th Inst, one day later than those famished by the City of Watb iogton. TteLondon Times has the following linportast cntrcdictlon cfstat-menta th sit reyersl European Fayiiin backed Prance In; her proposed mediation in American affrirs: / » We observe that our contemporary, La France, has thr .vn aside the Inaccurate statement of La Palrie as to the adherence of Bnssia to the French proposition for an armistice, and is content to argue that it would be very wiora in Bnssia and England not to aooeds to the Frtncb project. Our Information was that Baseis had refored to hare anything to do with this project for an at mlstlce, and the assertion to the contrary is now aban doned. , AIL the story, therefore, of the adhesion of Ftueria and of the Northern Powers, and perhaps of Austria and Spain, to this European mediation falls to the imitmd. If la t imply a proposition made by Fr*ncp» aid cot yet backed by any other Power. La Francs tmifka that 1 the Cabinets of. London and 36.

How that may be,we need jaot now argrte. for the.contingency ha? jaot yet occurred: bat when St la further remarked that if Mr. Lincoln .should refuse the tt;n<iaiicr, the mediating. Powers would,thenceforward baye the right to consult only their, own/ interests.* we see In this French proposition not only ; mediation, hot inteyrf-ntion, and forcible removal of blockade and war. • *■ We are convircfd that the present is not the mwnenfc for these strong measures, Thera is now gra%s reason to bore ihat by means of thieir'owh internal action the An ericacß may themselves settle, their own affairs even forcer tt an Europe could Bottle them for them. We bfivo wafted so long that it would be unpardoiiable in us to lore the merit of ourself denial at such- a moment as this Th 6 proposition of an.armistice would be just now so manifesily an; act of fayoritlim.to the Sou^and’of hoftility to the North; that.even the Democratic party coold not fall tofxclalm against it As to our own work people, we fear that if .the Southern, ports were opened to-ow rrow the o- tton manufactures would not immedi j y revive.. There ,is a wiuior vet, which umsif'be tided ever by the aid of the more fortunate merabsia'of onr c;mmunily: ; But even were this otherwise, we Quite agree,with Mr, Oobden.that Jt.would be choaper tolkqep all Lancashire on turtle and venison than to phioao Into a desperate war with the northern States of America, oven with all Europe at our back. In a good cause. aud ; as areassity forced uponua in defence ef our honor, or of our rightful interests, weare as ready to fight as we ever were; but we do n>t gee our duty or our interest in going ’blindfolded into, ah adventure suoh as this.

Arrival of Steamers after Running the Block ade—Commodore Wilkes Refused a Pilot at Nassau—He Enters the Port Without One— inoyrments of our Gunboats. New York, Nov. 28—Tho steamer British Queen, from Havana on the 23d and Nassau (N.P.) on the 24th, arrived at tbia port this evening. She brought ho Havana papers. ' Ihe Nassau (N. P.) Guardian states that the rebel steamers Antonies (late a British steamer), the Herald, and Ihe Leopard, arrived at that port, on the 20th, from Charleston. The steamers Arles and Hero were at Charleston on the 17th. Admiral Wilkes, with two steamers, artived off Nassau on the 20th, ands ignalledfor a pilot. A pilot went ont, and informed the Admiral that he could not pilot him, unless by special permit, the Governor of New Provl deuce having iesued a proclamation to that effect on the nth. ■ - - Admiral Wilkes replied that he would not aak a per mit, but would come in without it, and then bore away and lay to at a distance if three miles from the shore. The Nassau Guardian expresses great indignation at the conduct of the Admiral, and says he will not be al lowed to come in, probably feeling afraid that the two rebel steamers which are in port may oome to grief if he canies ont his threat. The Unittd States gunboats Octorna and Bonoma were at Abtico on the 15th, mnoh to the disgust of the Seces sion sjmpalbiaiera there.

[Correspondence of the Press ] New York, Hot. 28,1862. This penitential festival of yesterday passed off with an air of snhdnod virtue, which must be blgbly edifying to those agreeable philosophers who beiievo that this world Is Improving in piety. More people went to chnrch than on any previous Hew York Thanksgiving within the memory of the oldest inhabitant ; and so broken hearted did they all look, that even: the sound of the church-geiog belle, as Bhe gossiped with her broadcloth escort, bad something of Sunday in it. Alt the stores were closed;; extra Beralis refused to come ont; there was a hush In the air, over which brooded fragmentary promises of a snow-storm; and even the traditional din ner of turkey, and pumpkin-pie became an affecting mo ral drama!' Certainly there was an odor of sanctity about all this; but 1. greatly rear that in the literal ren dering 'of thanks to Providence there wore "compara tively few engßged. Al| the eminent divines of the town had large congre gations, and each rode his own theological hobby with his own political saddle and bridle. I would give yon extracts from some of the sermons, but sufficient uato the day is the sleep thereof. A few people, however, were really thankful and happy yesterday, and they soldiers in camp and hospi tal, and the poor of the institutions, before whom the gentle band of modest Charity spread ont a grateful meat. If it is possible for gratitude to come up from the heart simultaneously with the passage of food down the throat, the air was full of unspoken thanksgivings around the humble'placeg where those few were feasting When overing ccme there wasa gtaud turnout for the theatre; but even to this leaning toward festivity Hew York did not relax its proper self, for a majority of the ' drama-seekers were our rnstio cousins. They ate pea nuts during the performances and apples in the Inter vals of acts; they said unto the comedians, >■ Ha! ha !•> without regard for the genteel scale otcacUnnation, and,' in applauding the louder remarks of the tragedian, they evideterd pfgged bootg rather than paper soles.- At the Academy of Mtuic “ a cheap opera night ” was advertised by way of insidious device to entrap the ears of the masses; hat the masses preferred the Bowery Theatre, and-the two thousand democrats, who were equal to the degradation of receiving lyric art at fifty cents, applauded in the wrong places, and criticised Gnerrabella by comparison with the singing young lady .of the Mneeum. As for the Bowery temples, they lite rally cracked with the. pressure of indiscriminate hu manity; their dress-circles presenting arrays of human ‘'sunflowers, dahlias, and cabbage roses, more beauHfal to the horticultural eye than to the sensitive nose. Aside from these semi* rustic demonstrations of esprit, the hue and tone of the day were sombre, and Hew York’s thanksgiving for 1862 may be characterized, de scribed, and summed np to tbroo words: Turkey—a tra gedy. ‘ - being a more relaxative interval between yesterday and to-morrow, has no news of its own, nor the ability to borrow any from my practical Imagination. Henoe, having nothing more to say, I say it, with unparalleled humility, in the stogie word of STUYYEBANT. Letter fiom JProfessor Cairnes. Professor J. E.

Dear Sir : Accept my warm thanks for the unusual gratification you have afforded me by your present of “ The Slave Power ”to its American dress. I have sel dom experienced a more agreeable feeling than on seeing it, and I earnestly hope, if it does nothing else, it may induoe Americans to believe that there are people here, who desire to understand their history, and who contem plate their present heroic efforts to reconstruct and pnrify their political system with other feelings than those of ignorant wonder or malignant delight. : You will,-! flatter myself, be glad to hear that a second edition of the book will appear here shortly—in about a month—with considerable additions and some corrections, of which 1 hope to send you a copy. Believe me, dear sir, very truly yours, J. E. QAIBNEB.
