It had rained throughout the greater part of the day. Now’fcwas Bunset, for toward night the opaque clouds drifted away from the west, and the. eleepy-looking sun shed his cheerful light over roof and spire. The mournful procession passed beneath my window. As I heard the low, plaintive, solemn dirge, [listened to the muffled tread of those who accompanied the coffined dead, saw their arms re versed, and heads bowed low in (grief, I knew the mangledtremains of the slain.were to have a - sol dier’s burial. Soon his comrades ffred > ' “ the'farewell shot. And away from the grave they hurried. From all I can learn by cross-examining soldiers:- and officers who were.in the ' late three days’battle near Gettysburg, I. gladly admit the Army of thef Potomac really and .substantially victors at lastr: That we- have been unprecedentedly successful, is certain from the ..fact of our being in possession of their dead and wounded, an event that seldom occurs, as they take extreme measures to have them carried ofi or concealed. Now they have thrust themselves upon our hospitality, let us not only welcome them o warmly, but detain them long enough to give them; some lasting , tokens of friendship./ Lee is not the great man we> are all apt to imagine him. -In his own State he. be powerful. But on grounds wheretcehave friends to,warn us. of coming danger he is. but a shorn Samson.- 'All the while he was growing because he-possessed a wealth of . rpowey in on^man —Stonewall Jackson. Neverdid- Lee get into j&mblc but Jackgon was nigh to save, him. ‘ ■■■'■■ , S LEE RETREATS, ; because we are getting uncomfortably near.- He has. put one unijHeivupted communication— that -is . from G ; eLtyßlmix 1 .thr Hagerstown’into Sharpsburg and Gen.

Before our forces left Maryland Heights they demolished the pontoon over;the Potomac near Harper’s Ferry, and by this time : have burned the railroad bridge at that place. • MOSEBY AND HIS GUERILLAS IN HAGER a- Th(s are' reported to have been at Vienna, and Moseby’s* headquarters .were located at'Fairfax. He cifuld not have been there at the time the Wash ington correspondent of the New York HeryM re ported, for I can assure youhe cameinto Hagerstown early Thursday morning, and had forty-live • men with him—also General Jones and Col.

M., Moaeby, accompanied by a lieutenant and two- orderlies, rode, Into town 1 and lounged through the different stores, the greater portion of the day. He loaded a wagon with goods for his own family use,which he started to Williams port—a significant fact, meaning' they ho longer ex’ _ pect to get what they desire at Harrisburg, iand are content to take the first thing they can get. He was very uneaßy while there, sending his oompaniona.- out to watch and frequently going .out himself to peer up and down the streets. Which, way do the Yankees generally cornel!’ he would ask,. Do you expect them soon! How many are there of them?’ ami a thousand other questions, showing his mind to have been in a state Of great*perturbation. .These rebels Bay Lee’s army haß fallen back from Cham beraburg ' and is! still retiring, and. describe his - only'line of retreat to be that which I’ve here -mentioned. REBEL SCOUTS .IN TOWN caused intense excitement. Emboldened by the carelessness which our security lias created, a dozen of theae villainous guerillas came into. the town, alarming , citizensi capturing horses, and spreading confusion and consternation throughout the city. Our pickets were driven in on the Harper’s Ferry road, and every one thought the enemy was ap proaching in force. Small details of cavalry were ,sent to scoure the various roads leading to and from ihe eity, and a battalion of carbineers was drawn across the leading street in battle array. A squadron of the 13th Pennsylvania started in pursuit, and chased them into Harpcr’B Ferry, where they had a large force. Major Kerwin, who had command, ■ deemed it prudent to retire. They shot two and captured two of these audacious guerillas. In ■company with Captain Spearman, who, being wounded in the hand, waß not on duty, I started to see the fun. but succeeded in getting very wet, which was not the least funny. SUMMARY EXECUTION OF A REBEL'SPY. ■ About dusk on Sunday evening our cavalry cap tured three men, who were undoubted spies. One' of these, named Richardson, was a sharp little old man, about fifty years old. He had documents about his person sufficiently damning, beside his confession in open court. Hiß body, now suspended to the limb of a locust tree in the centre of a clover field, Is swayed gently to and fro by the fitful breeze. The other two will prob'ably be executed to-day. This is just. It is never too late to do good. POTOMAC RAISED, bo that it cannot be forded. A.'droye&of cattle brought to Williamsport, yesterday, could.'nob:be got over the river. Many of them roamed abroad, over the fields; a few were ferried over in flalboats. A drove of aheepi which the enemy were driving through Sharpaburg, was captured, and I had the satisfaction :of seeing them in the hands of our own soldiers. Every precaution is being taken to guard all the passes through the mountains and, destroy all the bridges over the river.

Mean while,as the division of Slocum’s corps, on the ex treme right, left its post to join in this triumph, another column, of the enemy, under command of General Ewell, had dashed savagely against our weakened left wing, and as the-failure to turn our left became known it seemed as if .determination to conquerdn this part of the field overcame alike the enemy’s fear of death and his plans for victory else where. The fight was terrific, and for fifteen minutes the attack to which the three divisions of the 12th Corpß were subjected was more furious than any thing- every known in the history of this * Aimy. The 6th'Corps came to their support; the Ist Corps followed,' and from dusk into darkness. _ until half-past nine o’clock, the battle raged •with varied fortune and unabated fury. - Our troops were compelled, by overpowering numbers, to fall back a short distance, abandoning . several rifle-pits and an advantageous position*to the ene my, who, haughty over his advantage and made desperate by defeat in other quarters, then made a last struggling charge against that division of our right wing commanded by General Geary. General Geary’s troops immortalized themselves by their re . sistance to this attempt. They stood like adamant, a moveless, death-dealing machine, before whose volleys the rebel column withered and went down by hundreds. After a slaughter inconceivable, the repulse of Eweil was complete, and he retired at 10 o’clock P, M. to the position before referred to.SiThe firing from all quarters of the field ceased soon after lhat hour, and no other attack was made until inomiDg. peper.

This last engagement has been the fiercest and most sanguinary of the war. It was begun at day light by General Slocum, whose troops, maddened by the loss of many comrades, and eager to retrieve the position lost by them on the pteceding evening, advanced and delivered a destructive fire against the rebels under Ewell. That General’s entire force, responded with a charge that is,memorable even be yond those made by them yesterday. Itwasdes peration against courage! The fire of the enemy was mingled with yells, pitched even above its clangor. They came on, and on, and on, while the national troops, splendidly handled and well posted, stood unshaken. to receive them. The fire with which they did receive them was so rapid and so thick as to envelope the rankß of its deliverers with a pall that shut them from sight during the bat ; tie, which raged thenceforward for six dreary hours. Out of this pall no Btraggler came to the rear. The line scarcely flinched from its position during the entire conllct. Huge masses of rebel infantry thre w themselves into it again and again, in vain. Back, as a hall hurled against a rook, these masses recoiled, arid were re-formed, to be hurled shew ngainstit with a fiercenessuufruitmlof success—fruitful of carnage, ab before. The strong position occupied by General Geary, and that held by General Birney, met the first and hardest assaults, but only fell back a short distance before fearful odds, to re-advance, to re-as sume,'And to hold their places in company with Sykes’ division of the sth Corps, and Humphrey’s (Berry’s old- division) of the '3d, when judiciously/ reinforced with artillery, they renewed andcontin-- u€d the contest until its cHse. Itscemed a* r if the eray-uniformed troops, who were advanced and re ndvanced by their oncers up to-the very edge of the line of smoke in front of our infantry, were im pelled by some terror in their rear, which they were aa unable to withstand as they were to make head way against the fire in their front. It waa hard to believe such desperation voluntary. It was harder to believe that the courage which withstood and de feated it was mortal. , , - The'enemy gradually drew forward his whole line until in many places a hand-to-hand conflict raged lor minutes; His artillery, Answered by. ours, played- upon our columns with frightful re sult, yet they did • not waver. The battle was in this way evenly contested for a time, but at a moment when it seemed problematical which side would gain the victory, a reinforcement arrived and were formed inline At such a position as to :eafilade the enemv and teach him at last the futility of his efforts, disordered, routed, and confused, hts whole force retreated, and at u. : o'clock the battle ceased and the stillness of- death ensued. This silence con- ■■ tinued until 2P. M. At this moment the rebel artillery from.all points, in a circle radiating Around our own, began a terrific And concentrated j fire on Cemetery Hill, which was held, ab I have pre viously Btated, by the: llth and 2d Corps. The flock of pigeons, which not ten mimites previous had darkened the : sky above, were scarcely thicker than the flock of horrible missiles that now; instead of sailing ; harmlessly above* descended upon our po sition. * The - atmosphere was .thickswith shot and shell. The storm broke upon us; ao.isuddenly that soldiers and leaped as it began from their tents, or from lazy siestas on the grasß-—were stricken< in their rising with mortal wounds and died t some with cigars between their teeth, some -with pieces of food in their fingers, and one At least—a pale young German. froixL, with' a minature of his aißier im his hands, that Seemed more meet to-grasp an artißt a pencil than ■' a musket. Horses fell, shrieking such awful cries as Cooper told of, and writbingvthemselves about in hopeless agony. The boards of fences, scattered by explosion, fiew. in splinters through theair. The earth torn up in clouds.; blended thejeyes of hurry inff men; and through the branches of the trees, and , amoDff the grave-stones of the cemetery, a shower of destruction crashed ccaßelesßly. As, with hun dredsof othersfl groped Through tins tempest of: l death for the shelter of the bluff, au old man; a prl- vate in a company belonging to the 24th Michigan, was struck scarcely ten. feet a oannon Ball, which tore through l him, extortingßuch a low, in tense cry of mortal pain as I pray God I may never again hear. The hill, which seemed alone devoted to this reign of death, was clear in nearly all its un sheltered places . within five minutes after the fire began." Our batteries: responded immediately. Three hours ,of cannonading ensued, exceeding in fierce ness any ever known. Probably three hundred can non were fired simultaneously until four o’clock, when the rebel infantry were again seen maßsing in the woods; fronting our centre, formed by the Ist and 2d Corps. Gen. Doubleday’e troops met this charge with the same heroic courage that had so often repelled the enemy in his desperate attempts. The charge was made spiritedly but less venomously than before. General "Webb, commanding the 2d brigade, 2d' division of the 2d Corps, met the main fury of the attack with a steady fire that served to retard the enemy’s advance for a moment. That moment :was occupied by the rebel General, Armi&tage in steadying his troops behind the fence. General Webb immediately ordered a charge, which waß made with such eagerness and swiftness; and supported by such numbers of our troops, as enabled us to partially surround the ene my, and capture General Armiatage and 3,000 of his men. The carnage which accompanied this charge, and the terror inspired by it were so great as to re duce numbers of the foe to actual cowardice. They fell upon their knees and faces,holding forward their guns, and begging for: mercy, while their escaped comrades, panic-stricken and utterly routed, rushed down across the ditches, and fences, through the fields and through Gettysburg. ' Not a column re mained to make another start. The triumph fought for during these three terrible days belonged at last to the noble Army of the Potomao. Incidents of the Battle* , CFrom Correspondence of the Tribune.! General Sehimmelfenig escaped capture by rcsort mg-to a dodge worthy of the sharpest Yankee. When he found his retreat cut off, he seized ..the coat of a private, and buttoned it closely over his uni form; he was knocked down and run over by a gang of rebels who were after plunder. He then stumbled away into a cellar,, and lay there concealed, and without food, for two dayß; but when he heard the boys playing Yankee Doodle” in the streetsf’lie ~ ■ thought it safe to come out He is now in command .of his brigade, and ready for work., The ltth Corps lost in killed, wounded, and miss ing. 4,060 men; The let Corps loss foots up nearly 6,000. The: 12th Oorpß lost in killed and wounded, '973; missing,'242; 17 officers killed, and 43 wounded. , .Oneregiment the 2d Massachusetts, in Slocum’s Corps, loßt 11 officers in a charge, yet when this division waß repulsed the regiment fell back in per fect order and each soldier in his place. ' Sharpshooting has become a serious service in bat tle. .Three hundred men from our brigade were shot in the rifle-pita ,on Friday, by a half a dozen of the enemy’s sharpshooters concealed Jin a brick house in the suburbs of Gettysburg. The house might have been destroyed, but in doing this many others in the town would have been damaged; it is a question however,-whether the whole town is worth the lives it cost to save it. The 2d brigade of the 3d division, 2d Corps, num bering 2,500. men, lost half its numbers in battle, and the 2d brigade, 2d division of the same corps, in the last charge of the enemy on Friday evening, cap fcured from the enemy double their own number in pri soners, in eluding General Armißtead and five battle flags;'all within thirty-five paces of the 2d Corps’ batteries. The rebel cavalry was in constant trouble; if it appeared beyond the protection of the infantry lines on either flank, it was charged into by the national cavalry and sent pell-mell back to .its.hiding-place; and, if too far within its own lines, the horses were demoralized by the explosion of shellß. The com mand was of no serviee to the enemy, but the men soon became a repfoaoh in the eyes of their com rades. Perhaps one of the most important features of the line of battle was the facilities it afforded to each portion to reinforce any point of attack. The enemy was compelled to march from seven to nine miles in going from one wing to the other, whereas, three miles on the diameterof a circle was: the distance between. Meade’s extreme infantry flanks. This circumstance gave great advantage. After the battlefield came into our'possession, a private BOldier, who had been wounded in the foot, was found lying in the grass, under a bush; he had wiped his gun and taken off the lock to clean it. When found, he was in the act of putting it to gether again. To the question—what he was doing there? he replied, “ I am getting ready for another pop. I have two boxes of cartridges left.” THE PROSPECT OF DEE’S ESCAPE. i Although reports telegraphed from places at a i distance from the scene of operations, to the effect : that we have captured prisoners by tens of thousands, ! andvpieces of artillery by hundreds, are premature \ or grossly exaggerated; it is nevertheless true that I the military situation, is at this moment extremely favorable, or. at lealto-is so reported in circles best informed' witn facts. Gen; Lee may escape across the Potomac with a large portion of his army,, although the destruction of his pontoon bridges and.theriae of the river, which is stated to be Bix feet above the fords, would alone seem Buffieient,to prevent it.

This regiment was a portion of the Ist brigade, 3d division, Ist Army Corps. The division was commanded by Brigadier General Larowly, of Pittsburg. In the battle of July 3, the old California, the 69th (Irish), and the Fire Zouaves (Pennsylvania troops), were in action. The 71st or California regiment lost nine officers of fifteen taken in, and one hundred and one out of two hundred and forty ; six enlisted : men. The 69th and 7Ut were bri the extreme front, and, in proportion, their members suffered the worst. Included in the killed are:'Captain Stefiar Gull, of the 7lsts Colonel Odane, Lieutenant Colonel T. Skeedy, and Captains S. Duffy and Thompson, of the 69th: Captain Andrew Mcßushy, of the 72d, and Lieutenant Jones. The loss in the brigade is four hundred and eighty-two men and forty-two officers. The right wing of the command of i Col. Smith, fell back and took a position behind a I stone wall, from which they did fearful execution. I The left wing, with the colors, under .command of Col.

A REPORTER’S INCIDENT, Whilst one of our reporters was on a tour of-in spection to tlie wounded, at the late battle of Get tysburg, he had his attention drawn to a Bingularly beautilul young man, upon whom death had already settled his mark. While admiring his tender age and fragile build,the young sufferer opened his soft hazel eyes, and looking up, said: , , . “'Won’t you please raise my beau ana run my handßl it cramps bo.” ' .. Our reporter complied, and asked of him bis name. He stated that it was James Warner, of Loudoun county, Virginia. . * It was then that he knew this young sufferer to be in the rebel service. Upon questioning him, he stated that he never entered the rebel service will ingly : that both of his parenti were Union people. “ Wont you tell my mother, when you get an op portunity, that I am happy, and expect to meet her in heaven! Will you give me a drink, and then J, shall die easy!” , „ .. ;• Our reporter of course acquiesced, and gave the -little rebel sufferer all the attention and consolation he could bestow. As he left, big-framed and big hearted soldiers of the Union were standing by their late enemy, showering over Kim their, tears, and blessing him with that attention that only the brave know how to bestow. REBEL PRISONERS IN BALTIMORE. : Last'night, shortly before nine o’clock, anotner party of rebel prisoners, 2,300 in number, reached the Bolton DdpOt in a long train of cars, accompanied by the 12th Tennant regiment as a guard. They were, disembarked, and underguard of a detachment olthe Ist Connecticut cavalry, with several companies of the 7th New York regiment, were marched to Calvert street," thence by Baltimore and other streets to Fort McHenry. In anticipation of their arrival a large: number of persons, male and female, assembled at the ddpdt at an early hour of the evening, and large crowdß were gathered on Howard, Calvert, and other streets, desirous of witnessing the sight of so many rebels passing through the city. The _ prisoners; passed on ; their! way from- the ddpdt-without any expression of public sentiment being made, except at the corner of-Baltimore and Calvert streets, where some enthusiastic Union men gave cheers, causing the rebels to retaliate by uttering a shrill cry, those following after catching it up and continuing it to the end of the long line.

IX Conway, publishes the following let ter in the TimeSi explaining ms. MaßOn: ■. 64 To the Editor of the Times: “Sir: Absence from London has prevented my giving such careful attention to, the correspondenoe between Mr, Mason and myself as was necessary to make the explanation which the public on both Bides of the ocean will naturally expect of; me, “In the correßpondehce aB it Btands there are three partieß involved—namely, the Abolitionists of America, myself, and Mr. Mason with his Confede rates. “As to the first, it was to pounce upon them and compromise them with their Government that Mr. Mason rushed into'; print" so - eagerly that, though ;• only a little way from London, I did not receive his last letter until half a day after I had seen it in the Times. But I wonder that Miy Mason did,not Bee,- what the Americans will certainly see, that my second note to him admits that my authority . . extended definitely .to the. declaration that the Abolitionists’of America were giving moral support, to thiß wat simply and only in' the interest of emancipation, and that when , that issue ceased, to be involved they would no longer sustain it; ‘ but that, with regard to the spe cial offer,’ I must write out and get a special autho rity. This left it yet an open question whether the leading anti-slavery men were ‘prepared to nego tiate with the Confederate authorities.’ He springs his snare before they are in it. They are not com promised at all. They do, indeed, stand committed to an unwillingness to prosecute this terrible war for ftDy less important aim than the complete wiping out of their country’s orime and shame, but it has all along been their avowed position that they are* to quote Wendell Phillips,‘ willing to accept any thing, union or disunion, on the baßis of emancipa tion.’ “Then, of the Abolitionists, I alone am implicated by this correspondence. And here I am readyto confess that my inexperience in diplomatic and poli tical affairs has led me to make a proposition, the form of which is objectionable. Recognizing Mr, Masononly as an unofficial thoughrepresentative Southerner, whose views would be a teat of the dis position of the rebels on the subject of slavery, and anxious to afford that test to certain very eminent literary men in. England, who acknowledged that the reply'to such a proposition would decide the feelings with regard to the issue, I inferred hastily and improperly that the right to declare the r object of the/Abolitionists in the war justified me in sen ding the proposition to Mr. Mason personally. As this, my first 1 correspondence with the enemy,’ was undertaken only in the interest of my country, and was virtually a demand for the surrender of the enemy’s capital, X shall hope that the apparent dis loyalty of it, of which I was unconscious, will be condoned by the country I meant to serve. “But Mr. Mason and his Confederates are impli cated inthis matter in a way to which I desire to. call the attention of those gentlemen to satisFy whose' mindsT wrote the proposition; and of all others who think that the South is fighting for any. worthier in dependence than impunity in permanently robbing another face of its independence. ' . “In order to compromise the Abolitionists, Mr. Mason concedes that I had authority to make the offer of independence for emancipa tion. He acknowledges, on the strength of Mr, Garrison’s letter of credit, that I had that autho rization to which, when shown him, he had pro mised a reply. So the English public know now, with a clearness which my own blundering way of evoking such a confession did not merit, what the reply of the South is to a proposition offering her ‘freedom,* aßshe calls it, on the condition of her ac cording the same to the millions whom sheoppresses. Whether I hada right, to make the offer or not, it is answered. The belie verin the golden rule has only to ask himself what would be his interest in the eucceßS*of,the Northern arms if his own wife and childTefjJ&'ere under the l&Bh on a Southern planta tion, that we have Mr. Mason’s assurance that every gateway exceptthat of war is closed. “lam, &c M MONCURE i). CONWAY. “ Aubrey House, Notting HiU, W., June 22,” . Tlie Crisis ot" Patriotism and Treason* , .On the Fourth of American liberty and independence was declared; on the-same day, in .1863, we may say thatdt waß preserved. The Fourth, of this momentous year, was celebrated in complete' victory over Eee, and the surrender of Vioksburg; • " ‘ltfefefcllflßring was circnlated in the DECLARATION AND PROTEST OP LIBERTY'Xf USURPATION AND TYRANNY. - ‘ 1 Who would be free, himself must striks the blow. ” First. The ODly solid foundation for all Govern ment is the consent of the governed. Governments exist for the benefit of the people, and notthe people for the benefit of Governments. * -' .• - A-Government.which fails to promote the interests, and secure the affections of its people, does not de serve to stand. These principles are the foundation of the Federal TJDion; to deny them is to undermine our own poli tical structure, to slander the, title by. which we have a place among the nations of the earth. Second. The people of the Southern States have, of their own consent, established a separate Govern ment, sustained it for more than two years with re markable unanimity and devotion, under circum stances of great difficulty and trial. We cannot consistently with our traditions and our principles deny to that people the right of self government, or oppose by force the existence of the Government they have set up. If we cannot con quer them by the arts and arms of peace, we have no right to conquer them at all. - . To Bpeak of a “ Union” by force is simply absurd; a piece of Puritanical hypocrisy. Third. The’glory of a nation is:.To establish jus tice, unity, peace, and concord; to insure domestic tranquilii y 5 to promote the general welfare 5 to se cure the blesßings of liberty and civilization; to cul tivate the highest standards of morals and religion. Territorial possessions may distract and weaken; wealth will enervate and corrupt; avarice, fanati cism, and revenge, must debase; and ambition gene rally destroys. Fourth, when the present Administration was elected to office, among all the nations of the earth there was not one greater than the United Stateß of America; not one more prosperous and happy; not one which conferred superior-blessings on mankind. The people were proud ‘ of their Government, and loved it: they would not have exchanged it for any other on the face of the globe; they hoped.to trans mit the jewel, with untarnished lustre, to remotest generations, ‘ • ' Fifth. Within the last two yearß this Govern ment has suffered a grievous change, a most disas trous and humiliating eclipse. has become-a filthy hybrid ; a monster, smeared with ..the bloody sacrifice of its own children; a detestable compound of crimes and vices; a despotism which cannot fitly, be described ip decorous language: “the sum of all vuiaihies s” a league with hell and a covenant with death. . ' . • ~ . . The Administration i* ignorant, eonceitea, and vulgar; ; cunning, - insincere, and unscrupulous; fierce, ranguinary, and cruel; full of all subtlety, and all mischief; of.all hypocrisy and deceit.. It is without truth or honesty, without manliness or de cency. Its avarice is insatiable; its corruption un bounded 5 for gain it will do anything, however in famous, oppressive, and wasteful, and does not scruple to barter the whole country for profit. It is a bully, a braggart, and a coward; it domineers by terror over weakness; It shrinks from truth and daylight; it deals in pimps, spies, and informers, and fearß an enemy in every shadow. With bands, of armed men it strikes down the liberty of, the citi? zen at the dead of night, when he is surprised, soli tary and' defenceless j wages war on women and young ehildreft. It is barbarous and wanton, for it desolates peace ful and inoffensive lands With fire and flood ; it de stroys cities, towns, villages, and solitary dwellings; it plunders wherever its emissaries prowl, destroy ing what cannot be taken away. It does not spare the sacred monuments of aTt', science, and literature; respects not the grave; has no pity fbrthe shrieks and entreaties of helplessness and' plirity, and the instruments of its erimes are only less detestable than the crimes themselves, and the criminals. In everything, and in ;the most stupendous pro portions,is this Administration abominable; the stench thereof rises towardß Heaven, as the stench of Sodom and Gomorrah. Tt is a foe to all goodness, arid whosoever should .destroy it .would confer a blessing on mankind, ' Sixth. The Southern people are fighting for our liberties,, as well as for their own. No greater calamity could happen to us than their overthrow; the destruction of the one would speedily be fol lowed by the subjugation of the other. , Seventh. Should the Confederate army capture Washington, and exterminate the herd of thieves, Pharisees, and cut-throats which' pasture there; de filing the temple of our liberties, we should regard it as a special interposition of Divine Providence in behalf of justice, judgment, and mercy. • • • Eighth. No portion of this Union ib entitled to. public sympathy, or assistance or protection from Southern defensive invasion, so long as it continues to be a party to the present aggressive war. -There /cannot be innocent accomplices 1 in crimes at which humanity stands aghast, : Ninth. “ The thirty pieces of silver,” the price of blood and the general ruin, is not entitled to protec tion. • Let those who have grown fat on the mis fortunes of the land defend their own plunder, fight a little, steal and bellow leas. _ . Tenth. So long as the present war continues ana despotism prevails, we shall have no disposition to oppose a Confederate army, whether on our borders or in our- midst—rather would we hail them as friendß and deliverers. . Eleventh. We arraign Abraham Lincoln, presi dent of the United States, And the men of his coun cil, before the bar of public opinion justice, lor the following high crimes, felonies, ana “ror the country they have betrayed;, for the oaths thevhavevlhlate.l-for the Constitution they have the they h^ave^per- they have destroyed: for the rireolous’h?pes they have blasted; for, the uj>er ties tbev have tahen away; for the riven of blood thbv‘have Shed; for the armies they,have slaugh tered “ for the manifold, excessive, and/ wide inreal defrauding*, robberies,- plundering*, desola ' lions wastes, and cruelties, they have perpetrated.

On tic 32d: ult„ Lord Palmerston made some ex planations upon the Polish question, [and stated the following was the substance of the despatches to Russia by England, France, and Austria: 1. A general and complete amnesty. 2. A national representation on the principle of that established by Alexander 1., in virtue and in execution of the treaty of Vienna. The Austrian Governmenttooka modified view of this; but her Majesty’s Government was of opinion that, to e»> tisfy the just expectations of the Poles, the repre. eentation should be established on the footing of the charter of Alexander I. • • 3.-The Poles alone should be appointed to. public offices,'as Poles alone were likely to command con fidence. 4. That perfect liberty of conscience shall be granted, and .that due protection be accorded to the religion of the Poles. 6. That the Polish language shall be used in all public'transactions and in the education of the people. 6. That a regular system of recruiting shall be established to prevent a recurrence of the proceed inga which led to the present insurrection. Her Majesty’s Government recommended and strongly urged that there should bee cessation of hop lilitics, because , in their opinion , there would be no usefuL negotiations as long as t a conflict of thiskind was going on between the Rubbish troops and the insurgents. Austria did not actually recommend all these points, but she urged the Emperor of Russia somewhat to this effect. - He therefore trusted that when he could lav the despatch on the table the House would be offopibion.that her Majesty’s Government had done all in its power.

The Caes publishes the following letter from Po lish Eivonia: " The whole of Poland will uttera cry of laments great patriot has stained with his blood? the soil oh which Count Henry, his tifmrtor from the States of Livonia to Sigismund AagusCaa, King of Poland, took leave of hia electors in the Stavostie of Dunaburg, which for centuries, up to the partition of Poland, had belonged to his family* Leon Plater was only twenty-six years of age, and from the moment he fell into the hands of his execu tioners he suffered martyrdom. 1 He died calm and •resigned for the liberty of his country, : In re turning from the execution we entered a church where were assembled the desolated sisters of the murdered man, hia family, and his friends, who had taken refuge near the altar, and were offering up their prayers. We admired the courageous.mother of Leon Plater, who, seeing those around her bathed in tears, consoled them by saying, 'Do not weep, my dear friends; you eee r that lao not/ I should have shed teara if my dear Leon.had been afraid of the Muscovite condemnation. I went to give him my blessing; I'prayed to God for him and with him.’ It is only faith in the holiness of the cause that can inspire such heroic courage and perse verance. A nation which produces such characters cannot die in Muscovite chains,' Twenty Russian, soldiers guarded the venerated tomb, and were rein forced at midnight. At one o’clock a cart came and conveyed it into the interior of the fortress, .his body pierced with balls. It appears that he had tfeea pro visionally buried in the b&Btion which bears the name of Constantine.” ; ENGLAND’S POLICY. , /The London Times of the 25c hof June a ays; The British Cabinet will once more have to acceptor refuse an offer of joint recognition, or hit on a third course, and one can be suggested. We are certainly called upon to do what we can. We know how much the United States are still part of ourselves; wo have that right to be heard in America, and hu manity has a right to plead for the children maasa cred in vain hecatcombs and for kindly instincts so fearfully disregarded. England has not hesitated to send Russia six points of a bare salient character. It: is difficult to see how Europe can escape the analogy. It Europe may ask.a separate Constitu tion for the one, surely.it may ask independence for the other. Why should not precisely the Bame course be adopted with the imperious Cabinet which ia now engaged in the suicidal attemptto reduce toJTederat unity the Confederate States of- Americat There is a singular amount of resemblance between the two cases.... 4 THE IRISH EMIGR ANTS. Lord Palmerston, speaking in 'the Hou3e of Com mons, on the subject of emigration from Ireland, said: • , In one year, the year of the distressf the Irish .emigrants in the United Statesman honor to then for so doing—remitted a million and a half sterling to their friends and families in Ireland, to enable them to maintain themselves throughout the dis tress. or to go out to America. I say, sir, that emi grants who are capable of doing this , must be far better off than they were before they abandoned the country of their birth. .No doubt, it is. painful to sever ties which were coeval with the man’s birth. No doubt it is painful to leave home, and sometimes to leave family. But allow me to say. that the senti ment is not universal, becauseThave myself seen %' party of emigrants intending to go to America,'para ding the road with a band of musicians, announcing themßelves #5 American bays, and ■ apparent!y proud and happy to go. While, therefore, no doubt there are many cases where it is painful to leave home, that is, not; an universal feeling, because many per sona feel that in leaving for America, or the colo nies, they are about to better their position, they are glad to go, and they hope to be able'to remit to tyeir relatives the means of following- them, or of maintaining themselves in greater comfort at home.
