The Strength of the Invasion.
At first the strength of the invasion was
exaggerated ; now it is underrated. Sixty
thousand men crossed the PotoMac ; it is
recrossed by only eightAhousand. Where,
then, have Um fifty-two thousand vanished?
It has been our belief from the moment it
became known that the enemy lmd passed
from Baltimore and moved to the front of.
Washington, that it was not by a contempt,
ible band of raiders that We were troubled,
but by a respectable army that We were in
vaded. Not an army so great that great
alarm should have been felt; for it -is'rea
sopable to suppose that LEE could not dare
to withdrawn very strong force from Rich
mond ; not so small that it should now Make
all our anxiety appear absurd,.for the ,defeat
of IVALL,',O3, the boldness of the advance,
the probable escape of enemy - , combine
to indicate the PurpoSes and - Strength of the
invaders. We think it probable that Gen.
EMILY tiOmmancled thirty thousand men.
Again, it is not a plausible suppbsitiori
that the Goverament has been :ignorant of
the enemy7s numbers,: and absolutely ridi
culous to suppose that,with the Veteanns in
Washington and Baltimore, with HIINTEE
and SIGEL, and the reinforeementS from
the North, it would of have attempted the
capture of eight, Or ten, or fifteen: thousand
men, The defensive attitude of our army
is evidence of the strength of thd roe, and
the danger we have escaped. If those who
complain that the rebels were not swept
into the PoloMne, captured, or deStroyed,
will reflect a little, they-will find in these
facts some explanation of their unmolested
retreat. Unmolested; we say, because it
does not appear that any fighting has been
done, save Skirmishing with the rear guard
of the enemy, or that we made any opposi
tion to their passage of the - Potomac: We
hoVe respected the NnpOleOnic maxim
"Bridge the path of a flying foe with gold."
The Itelation.4 of American Freedom and
African Civilization.
In Isr Captain J.- SPEKE, the dis
coverer of- the sources of the Nile, made
one of his most interesting, and, inits re
sults, most important explorations of the
interior of Africa. His "Journal of a
cruise on the Tanganyika Lake, Central
Africa,"i was published in Blackwood' s
Magazine, of September, 1659, and con
tains one passage to which recent events
have given new emphasis and suggestive-
It needs no argument to show that the
present war will have immense influence
upon the future of the world, and that
modern civilization must necessarily_ re
ceive from it a new impulse and diyection.
So . &bat a storm must disturb the whole:
atmosphere. But almost every day reveals
new evidence of how thoroughly the world
is shaken by the spirit of this war, alnlhow
various and many are the interests it af
fects. We know its influence upon Euro
pean manufactures and commerce, and may
partially, understand the changes it will
make in European politics, and its possible
interference with the development of Old
World freedom. But. its effect upon
the social • and **Political condition of
Africa has barely been 'considered, and
is, indeed, immensurable in our igno
rance of its end. It is certain, however,
that a war which, to all human vision,
seems sure to end in the destruction . of the
American slave system, must greatly help
in the creation of a new future for Africa,
by the removal of one of the great obstacles
to the civilization of that continent.
Captain SPEKE is a man whose works
prove his cosmopolitan spirit. Travel and
experience seetn to have taken from him
the usual prejudices of the English islander.
Upon the question of slavery he seldom
speaks, and invariably with the coolness
and impartiality of a practical observer.
Thus he admits that the negro slaves of
Arab merchants prefer their bondage to
liberty, but philosophically explains this
fact, which might seem to imply the
natural unfitness of the negro for free
dom, by the statement of another
The negro by the Arab is invariably well
treated—" during tho slave-hunts, when
they are caught, their country is devas
tated, their friends and relatives are either
killed, or arc scattered to the winds, and
nothing but a wreck is left behind them."
Besides this, if they escape from a kind
master, they risk the • danger of finding
one who is cruel, and it is not strange
that, in • countries annually subjected
to the raids of slave-hunters„the for
tunate slave of a good master should
consider his servitude as a liberation from
future trouble. Under the French and
Portuguese free-labor system, strongly con
demned by Captain SrEsE as a mere dis
guise of the worst kind of forced labor,
"the negro is transported against his will
to a foreign land, where to live at all he
must labor like a beast." From his entire
Statement of the condition of the negro in
those districts whence the slave - system
derives its material, it is made perfectly
plain that the slave, in preferring a kind
master to the uncertain, brief, and misera
ble independence of a hunted man, merely
chooses between two evils, and does not at
all confess his unfitness for a permanent
good.lt is In reference to the free-labor
system that Captain SPEKE thus argues,
but no one can iltil to see the applica
tion of his argument to all phases and
kinds of slave-trading and slave-holding :
"Whet a market for free laborers Is once opened,
when the draining poultice Is once applied to Afri
ca's exterior. then the Interior will assuredly be
drained or all its working men, and become more a
waste than ever. To supply the markets with those
free cattle becomes so lucrative a means of gala that
merchants would stick at no expedient In endeavor
ing to secure them. The country, so full, ns we have
teen it, of all the useful necessaries of life, able to
supply our markets and relieve our people by cheap
ening all commodities, would, if slavery was only
permitted to Increase, !MUD be devastated fur the
very minor consideration of Improving a few small
Islands In the Indian Ocean. On the contrary, shive
ry has only to be suppressed entirely, and the country
would soon yield one hundredfold more than seer it has
done before. The merchants themselves are aware
01 this, fur every Thrall on the coast with whom I
ever spoke on the subject of slavery, seemed confi
dent that the true prosperity of Africa would only
commence with the cessation of slavery. And
they all say it would be fur bettor for
them If slavery were put down altogether, than
allowed to remain us it is, subject to limited re
striction • for by this limitation many inconve
niences re
striction;
Those who were permitted to retain
slaves have a great and distressing advantage over
those who could not. They argue, and very pro
perly, that In conseenence of these slave-hunts the
country is kept in malt a state of commotion that no
one :hints it worth his while to make accumulations of
property, and conbequrntly, the Degrees now only live
Jur the day, and keep no granaries, never thinking
of exerting themselves to better their condition.
Without fibula it. is mainly owing to this unfortu
nate influence of slavery otrrAfrlcan society that
we have been kept an long Ignorant of the vast re
sources or Eastern and Central Attica—a vast field
of resources, which would he of so much value to
%snzlbar end neighboring India, were it only pro
pel ly developed."
In this passage lies the philosophy of the
question. Have we not always been told
by the early apologists for slavery, and its
present apostles, that the condition of
Africa itself was ft proof that Africans were
unfit for freedom ? The very poverty and
ignorance which • slaVery creates is cited in
justification of slavery. The foot of the
world has been placed on the neck of
Africa, and it is proclaimed that the
swarthy Queen, thus crushed to earth, has
not the spirit to rise. But where the op
pressor has more power than the oppressed
revolution is impossible. Is not Hungary
fit to he free? Is there no. development
possible for the French ? The argument
-which attempts to proye that Africa can
have no worthy future, because, for centu
ries, she has had a degraded past, would,
if true, make all progress the dream and
the delusion of the 'Utopian.
For years the importation of native
Africans into the United States has
been limited. Virginia bred slaves cheaper
than Africa could sell them. Yet Ame
rica has been the great slave Power of
the world—doubly the protector of slavery,.
because of her advanced civilization and
vast moral influence. The abolition of Ame
rican slavery must, therefore, destroy the
chief harrier to African progress ; for who
can wonder that the sophism of free-labor
should be the apology of the Portu
guese, and open violence the act of
the African slave-hunter himself, when
the clergy of Christian America assert
slavery to be a divine institution, and the
leaders of the South would make it the ba
sis of a new empire" ? It is a subtle, strong,
and far-reaching influence that Anierica
possesses, and now, in fighting the worst
form of tyranny, we defend, not only our
own, but universal liberty. If no other
good comes out of this war it will be suffi
cient compensation for its evils, that by
in relation to human slavery, America
ceases to be the example and the. excuse of
the world.
Girard College.
For the sake of public pride and a noble
charity we should be glad if the intelligent
members of Councils looked for an instant
into' the condition of affairs at Girard Col
lege. The election of a politician like Mr.
VAux to the 'presidency of so important
trnst, need bear no comment, but we have
an apprelte4on that the College has been
seriously misgoverned for some time past.:
Mr. VA - tix!s election will furnish no relief
to the institution, for we believe that since
it was rendered disaftreeable for so accom
plished wentleman as Professor - ALLEN to
remain longer' its president, he has been its
actual governor. The public has heard
that several reforms have been in progress ;
but we beg that Councils will studiously
inquire into the nature of these reforms.
Das not the system of the College vastly
deteriorated ? Is it not in an overcrowded
condition, endangering the resources -of
GmAnn's estate, and discomforting
its inmates ? Arc not the pupils less
developed; less cared for, less 'Wiwithan
ever heretofore ? Has there been any pre
siding moral influence in the direction of
the College,? Is not the changed nature of
its ethic:Won, under a foolish supervision,,
a great failure, cost; and sham ? Is not its
Whole living pinched to meet the new de- 7
mantis? We.-hope that it will not prove
that: it was necessary to make this noble
sehool an aiMshonse before V - Aux
could he elected its president, and -we .'sug
gest these questions from a spirit
which our Councils should have exercised
long ago in their choice of directors for the
College The management of the present
Board appears to be both imbecile and arbi-
trary, and entirely controlled by Mr. VAUX,
wire is now actually president of the Board
as well as of the College. It cannot be told
hoW far a reckless and incapable admiuistra-,
lion may go toward the ruin of a public trust,
and it will be a painful misfortune to . the
`cause of:education, We fear, if the Board of
Directors of Girard College is to be here
after recruited from the inferior class of men
in public life. Councils must send better
men to direct Girard College, Or we thrust
send better Men to Couneils, Whether
Democrats or Republicans, provided they
will be intelligent and faithful, we have
no fear; but we shoUld prefer, at a time
like this, tl.tat our institutions should be
ruled by patriotic men, instendlof those in
syMPathy with the rebellion: That a man
:who can Make no pretence to being an educa
tor, in any:sense; should now bedome p'resi
-dent of one of our most important colleges,
.is greatly to be regretted; and we can only,
hope that he will not remain long in:Wcini
nection which he can only make laughable
or contemptible : Judge if such empty ver 7
binge as thiSworse than any junior's 'at
terapt at mysticism-is fit to be spoken by
one whO desires the respect of man or
child. We take it from a speech which,:to
the misfortune of common sense, was pub
ishedin the last rePort of the college :
"ImpressiVe and Interesting to-day's ceremonies
are for us, as they clothe themselves with the
drapery of prophetic solemnity. The voices of the
past come to us with the language of experience.
Those from the future call on us in the living, ring
ing cadence of hope and triumph. Our duties, like
the columns belore us, which ahelent art has con
secrated, are ennobled by the stoical sternness with
which they are dedicated to their fulfilled purpose.
'We are to direct the accomplishment of a testa
mentary trust., imposed by confiding benevolence,
resting on the faith of our honor and Integrity. This
is a double responsibility. One Is to the purpose.
The other, for the justification of this confidence
reposed. Let us now, and here, consider those
responsibilities. It is fitting these ceremonies. It is
the inner-life of this demonstration of effort and
object. It is elementary in the attestation of our
determination to perform with fidelity this bifidated
duty. Language does not always conceal motives.
'When words and acts harmonize, the true in terpro
tattoo of each is attained by this co-aid. We propose
now to speak, liable to ouch interpretation. Mr.
Girard founded a ' College,' or 'Orphan Establish
ment,' for the mental and moral training of a de
signated class of beneficiaries, to be not less than an
average of three hundred pupils. For this purpose
he devised certain funds. The city of Philsdelphia
is the trustee, one the directors of the College arc its
responsible agents in the management of this noble
bequest. Human designs, ever so created, proposed,
or declared, contain lurking somewhere within their
unfolded results difficulties in accomplishment, or
doubts as to their true inherit. Such is the limited
scope and inherent not-enoughness in all human
predireetion.
Only. Mrs. Toppit's oration, beginning,
we think, with "Mind and matter glide
swiftly into the vortex of immensity,"
&e., &e., could be compared with a spasm
of speech so baffling to the juvenile under
standing. We presume, therefore, any
new system which is to be tried in Girard
College. will teach its pupils not to know,
instead of knowing. Still, there remains
for Mr. VAUS the charitable wish that he
will, in his novel task, seek to do his duty
kindly and liberally to those under his care.
At present (and we think the public should
know it) there is much complaint against
the administration of Girard College.
Washington Wilks.
In the death of WAsunioTorrWrixs the
cause of English reform and American
liberty has lost a most sincere and active
friend among the intellectual workers of
England. At one of the London meetings
of the English Radicals, of which Mr.
WILKS was a prominent orator, greatly to
the consternation and sorrow of an audi
ence of friends and admirers ,this lamented
man fell at his post of duty, arrested by the
hand of death. Mr. Wmirs was eminently
a man of the people, distinguished alike
as a platform orator and a journaliat. For
some years he had been one of the editors
of the London Morning Star, to which he
contributed nearly all the able articles of
that newspaper on the American question,..
many of which have been reprinted in this
paper. Row true a friend to our own
cause was this upright and earnest English
man, may be judged' from a late oration at
Manchester, in which, referring to the pre
sence of an American gentleman, ho said:
"Our friend says he is not exactly an Englishman.
I can reply,lam not exactly an American—[hear]—
but there Is so little difference, except that of birth

In all that we most boast of and most love; one with

them into a noble career, shall we not say to every
American whom we may meet, Friend and tfrother,

A CORICESPONDEtiT of a contemporary
journal inquires:
So much is said from day to day about "Peace
Democracy" and " War Democracy" that I must
beg that you enlighten me as to the exact meaning
of these expressions. I have a notion that In the
North, at least, the difference is merely nominal.
The New York News, now before me, says: The
people of the Confederate States aro for peace, to a
MM." "Dlr. Davis is, and always has been, pro
foundly anxious for peace ;" but as this same paper
in another loader says, "It Is not pretended that
there is a - vestige of Union sentiment In the South,"
1 incline to think that the Southern Idea of peace
involves a dissolution of the Union by force, a di
vision of the Territories by force, anti a division line
where they think it ought to be, or n fight for it.
A writer who could so clearly state a
question should be able to answer it. There
needs no argument to show that the peace
which the South desires, and the Peace
Democrats of the North are willing to
grant, is the peace of disunion. The agita
tion of this policy of submission is not
popular just at this time, when the new in
solence of the rebellion has put even the
plundered Copperheads of Maryland in a
bad humor.
Fora years more of Mr. Lincoln's imbecile rule
would ruin the country irretrievably.
We had thought that the World believed
the country already ruined. It has at least
predicted its ruin so often that it has reduced
those who believe in it to despair. Since
General FREMONT has entered the field it
seems to have a little hope.

lion—lbe Rumored Adhesion el Urago
NEW YORK, July 16.—8 y the steamer Havana, at
this port from Havana, wo hare Mexican dates to
the SOth ult.
The Emperor Maximilian has sent invitations to
President Janes and the other leading Liberal
chiefs to come to the City of Mexico, and there to
consult together on a plan for the restoration of
peace to the country, and the firm establishment of
the Empire, guaranteeing them full protection and
safety.
It. is said that they have all, to a man, refused to
hold any communication, except by arms, with. "the
agent of Napoleon."
The Emperor has taken up his residence at Che
puitepec, a place about five miles distant front the
capital.
Maximilian has already sent several ministers to
represent his new Empire at the courts of Europe.
Some of these are refined gentlemen and scholars,
and they will be followed by others of a similar
stamp. Aritong those whom I have seen and with
whom I have conversed I may mention :
Senor Francisco S. Mora, Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Governments
of Russia, Sweden, and Denmark.
Senor Gregorio Barandlaran, Envoy Extraordi
nary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the lion rts of
Italy and Switzerland. This gentleman was for many
years . Secretary to the Mexican Legation to Wash
ington, during the administration of Robles. He,
as well as Mora, speaks the English, French, and
Spanish languages with great fluency and correct
ness. Mr. Barandia ran is accompanied by his wife,
an American lady, born somewhere in the vicinity
of Washington.
Some of these ministers, happening to be in
Europe, were appointed before the Emperor-left.
Nobody has yet been named for the mission to the
United States, but it is extremely probable that ono
will be shortly despatched to Washington, as the
Emperor and his advisors are very anxious to cul
tivate friendly relations with the United States, on
whose action entirely depends the establishment or
the overthrow of the monarchical idea on this con
tinent.
The other ministers whose names I have heard
are:
Senor Arranpiz, to London and Belgium.'
Senor Hidalgo, to Paris.
Senor Thomas Murphy, to Austria and Germany
Senor Facto, to Spain.
Senor Aguilar, to Rome.
The ntnior that Cleneral Uraga, who commands
the Liberal army of the centre, had given in his ad
hesion to the Emperor, had not been confirmed up to
the latest date, and the general opinion is that there
is no truth whatever in it.

:WASH INCITON, July le.—Beyond the steady ad - '

Ferry, some thirty Miles from 'llrashington, at which
Point the rebels crossed into Virginia, nothing Is to
be observed worth recording. '
Through the country between that point and this
city, at the present time, everything is quiet. IPa
the Bockvillo road, so recently the scene of active
operations, nothing is to be observed, except the oc,
easional passage of a wagon, and here and thern.s.:
straggling soldier.
We have the country still picketed about three
miles beyond Tenallytown. During the tightliag':
through the streets of Bectville, on Wednesday last
the citizens took refuge for sat* in the cellars of
the houses. The town was uninjured, with the ex..
caption that a few houses were struck by bullets.
General Ord was at Teriallytown yesterday af-,
ternoon, and General lyright was said to be 'at'
Poolesville. During the fight at Rockville we lost
two killed and thirty wounded:-- No doubt 4searip
exist that the rebels passed through Aldie, andluvre
effected their escape through Ashby's Gap.
The last of the rebels crossed the river about day-,
light yesterday morning, consisting of ii rear guard
of fifteen hundred cavalry. Their rear had had a
smart skirmish with our advance. 33efore 10 o'clock
yesterday morning we occupied Edwards? Ferry in.

WASHINGTON', July M.—The Star extra says a
force of rebel raiders, numbering between 250 and
300 men, passed through Little Washington, Sper
ryville, and Crolghersville, on Thursday night, on
their way towards Madison Court House and Ger-
They had with them 150 horses and 25 prisoner +,

hour afterwards a small force of Union cavalry, from
the West, who crossed the Shenandoah about Con
rad's store, made their appearance at the same ,
place, and pursued the rebels. -
The latter gave out that they were Making their'.
way to Gordonsville, andthencetoltichmond. They.
seemed tq.be in a hurry, having reeeived informa
tion that Sheridan, with a large cavalry force, was
between them and Richmond, and was smashing:
things generally. This rebel gang was doubtless
part of the rebel force lately operating in Maryland.
Gen. McCook, Gem Payne, and Gen. Doubleday
have been relieved from . duty, in this department.
McCook reports to the Adjutant General for in
structions, and Gens. Doubleday and Payne will re
sumo their positions on general court martial. Gin.

OUR FORCES ORDERED TO CROSS THR POTOIII.C-.1
Wastururrirs, July 16-2 o'clock P. 111.—Up to
the present time I am enabled to forwardlhe follow
ing as the only news of consequence up to the pre
sent hour :
Up to three o'clock yestorilay afternoon, none of
our forces had crossed the Potomac, but it is under
stood that a small force had been ordered over.
A rebel spy was hung yesterday afternoon at
Poolesvillo. His name was Kautfinann Waltmeyer,
formerly of the 67th New York. He deserted,. and
was captured on the 3d of July, near Petersburg.
The hanging took place in the main street of the
town, and was witnessed by the 4d Division of the
6th Corps. He was a young man, and met his fate
•without flinching. re":
The rebel transportation trains were rattling
through the streets of Poolosville on i•londay night
and Tuesday morning In one unbroken stikam.
Every storo in Poolesvllle, Rockville, and Dimities
ville were robbed by the rebels; but as a general
thing their behavior to the citizens was courteous
and respectful.
Our forces hold Edwards' Ferry. The entire re
bel force is now in Loudon Valley.
An official report to the Post 0111 co Deprtment
shows that the mails for twelity•elghtilitfereareitios
were burned by tho rebels at Gunpowder. •
Trains left Washington this morning direct for
Philadelphia.
GENERAL ' IIILADLKT JOnNSON OAPTURED,,AND
WasniuoTou, July lti.--We learn that the rebels
in leaving this vicinity sent most of their spoils
through Rockville on Tuesday, and In followieg
they gobbled up any articles that had escaped them
when coming through that place on Sunday. The
several stores of the place were completely gutted.
Our cavalry came upon their rear on Wednesday .
morning, and a brisk skirmish ensued, lasting four
hours, in which each side charged through the town,
and' a number were killed and wounded: During
the morning Bradley Johnson's horse was shot in
the leg and lamed, and he was captured by our men,
who, however. d Id not recognize him, although they
knew him to ho an officer 3 he was being sent to our
rear in charge of two men, when the rebels made'a
desperate charge, and rescued him. The rebels, to
evade immediate pursuit at the river fords, blittisid
up the road with brush, logs, and broken wagons.

casioned on the Virginia side of the Potomac yeoter
day by reports that the rebels are running the rail
road up to Manassas. The truth of this report is
not yet established, but many persons. observant of
military affairs, think it not Ito probable, and the do.
sign of the rebels is to hold the Gaps, and keep open
the communication. between Gordonsville and the
Valley.
AN UNCONFIRMED RUMOR-WASHINGTON QWET.
WASIIINGTOX, July 10-10 o'clock P. M.—There
Is no confirmation' of the truth of the report that
the rebels are running trains up to Manassas.
Our city has altogether resumed its usual quiet,
but there is evidently an increased watchfulness on
the part of the military.
Interesting intelligence is daily expected from
General Grant's army.
If these men were mustered In they would be con
solidated into companies, after allowing their offi
-cers time to recruit them to the maximum strength,
but under the present construction of the order
quoted, their service is lost to the Government, and
they are fast becoming demoralized.
This statement is due to Gov. Ourtin, alt - manytof
the volunteers and their friends Imagine he is re
sponsible for the present state of affairs. The con
trary is the case, as ho has exhausted every appeal
and all the resources at his command to secure the
mustering of the troops now here, with a view to the
encouragement of the volunteering of a still larger
number.

NANCELITRE IN ANTICIVATION OF 'REBEL FLANK
WAssira °Tow, July 17.—A letter from the Army
of the Potomac, dated July 14, says the night. pre
viously the ad Corps was marched out to the works
thrown up by the oth Corps, near tho Weldon Ilan
road. A flank movement on the part of the enemy
was anticipated. General Hancock had his-corps
massed near the Williams House. No enemy
showed himself. After we had awaited his coming
for a day and a half our men strolled out from our
lines and were surprised by a party of guerillas
while gathering fruit. Two guerillas were cap
tured, but 'the remainder made good their escape
after receiving a load of buckshot in the rear.
A that lieutenant in .the army has been fhlua
guilty of cowardice, and condemned to severe and
ignominious punishment, such as cutting from his
uniform the Insignia of rank, buttons, &c., breaking
Lis sword, shaving his head, with a drumming
out of camp. This officer has been two years In the
service, and by artful dodging has managed to keep
clear of every engagement in which his regiment
Las fought. A severe example Is to be made of all
such officers.

GUERILLAS IN lIISSOURI
ST. LOUIS, July 14.—1 n some parts of this State
bushwhacking is WOllO than over. This remark ap
plies especially in the northwestern counties. em
bracing Clay, Hay, Platte, Clinton, and Carroll
counties, and extending eastward Into Charlton,
Howard, Boone, Montgomery, Calaway, Marlon,
Adrian, and Iloilo.
The greatest alarm exists In Kansas all along the
porder, and the citizens have convened and organized
for eel Zdefence ; and, as an evidence of what may•
be done, twenty rebels rode into Barnesville, on the
night of the .10th inst., when about twenty of the
Citizens rallied with shot guns and rides and drove
thehroff. Weston has been threatened by the rebels
for several days, and was reported at Leavenworth
last Saturday to have been taken, but the report
was premature. A force of several hundred rebels
was nearthe town, and lin assault was momentarily
expected when our last /1011.5 left that place. (ion.
Curtis had sent a company from Leavenworth to
assist the citizens in guarding Weston.
These Incidents, and tho circumstance of the Law
rence massacre, have roused the people of Kansas
to a determined resistance. Fortidcations were
built at Topeka, Atchison, and other places, and the
utmost vigilance Is manifested to prevent a sur
prise. Several butternuts have been arras Led on
suspicion of being spies fdl Quantrol, and one of
them, who tried to run away, was shot and killed.
The excitement is represented as Intense, greater
even than last year.
The guerillas in that region aro not afraid to com
bine and attack our forces whenever they are sure of
victory by reason of overwhelming numbers. Near
Centreville, In Clay county, on the 7th inst., a com
pany of the 9th Missouri Cavalry, commanded by
Captain Kemper, was ambuscaded by rebels, and
twelve of our mon, including the captain, killed and
wounded. Another and worse affair occurred near
Independence, near the Little Blue river, whore
forty men of the 2d Colorado Cavalry, commanded
by Captain Wagoner, wore attacked and defeated
by ono hundred and twenty guerillas under the no
tor io us Todd. Captain Wagoner Was killed.
-- The robele killed all the wounded., and heaped the
bodies together upon the highway, where they were
found partially stripped of their clothing, and pro
perly interred the next day. These fights and the
occupation of Platte City show that the rebels have
assumed the offensive, and feel strong enough to
offer light whenever it sults their convenience.
ThLs Is ominous of still' worse times along the bor
der.
The tiring on steamboats has Increased to such an
extent that the commerce of the stream between
Booneville and Kansas City has been entirely sus
pended. Out of twenty-Rye or thirty steamboats
regularly employed in' the trade a fortnight ago,
only two or three are now risked by their owners In
navizating the river along the guOrilla,lnfested
section, and oven those three make no landings.
The exposience of the Live Oak at Waverly was
sufficient to deter steamboatmen from encountering
similar risks. Thisheat was attacked while taking
in freight, and only escaped by ettsting off the ropes
end floating into the river under the tire of fifty
guerillas, losing her assistant clerk end watchmen.
It is stated that the guerillas have almost undis
puted possession of the river banks for a dista.ncs of
thirty
Guerillas robbed the stage bound from Cameron,

Holt, Andrew, Notoway, Harrison, Atchison, Put

SPA "have the honor to report that toward the
close of the action between the Alabama and this
vessel, all available sail Pas made on the former,
for the purpose of again renchints Cherbourg.
Wben the object was apparent the Kearsarge was
steered across the bow of the Alabama for a raking
tire, but before reaching this point the Alabama
struck. Uncertain whether Captain femmes was
not using some ruse, the Kearsargo was - stopped.
It was seen shortly afterward that the Alabama
was lowering her boats; and an officer came
alongside in one of them to say that they had sur
rendered, and were fast sinking, and begging that
boats would be despatched Immediately for saving
of Ille. The two boats not disabled were at once
lowered, and as it was apparent the Alabama was
settling, this officer was permitted to leave In his
boat to afford assistance. An English yacht, the
Deerhound, had approached near the Kearsarge at
this time, when I hailed, and begged the, comman
der to run down to the Alabama, as she was fast
sinking, and we had but two boats, and assist in
picking up the men. He answered affirmatively,
and steamed toward the Alabama, but the latter
sunk - almost immediately. The Deerhoiind, how
ever, sent her boats, and was most actively ea
gaged, aided by several others which had come
from shore. These boats Were busy in bring
leg the wont. et! and Gthers to the Kearsarge,
whom we were trying to make aS comfortable
as possible, when it was reported to me that the
Deerhound was moving off. 1 could not believe that
the commander of that, vessel could be guilty of so
disgraceful an act as taking our prisoners oil, and
therefore took no means to prevent it, but continued
to keep our boats at work rescuing the men In the
water. lam sorry to say that I was mistaken. Tne
Deerhound made off with Captain Semmes and
others, and also the very officer who had came on
board to surrender. 1 learned subsequently that the
Deerhound was a consort of the Alabama, and that
she received on board all the valuable personal
effects , of Captain Semmes the night before the
engagement.

In connection with this oraragement I take great
pleasure in informing you officially that the conduct
of both men and officers equalled, in every respect,
ray most sanguine expecta tiuns.
In the gun division the utmost coolness prevailed
throughout the action, the details of the manual of

the excellent condition of the guns and gear atter a

thoroughly rendered.
The circumstances under whirls the battle was
fought afforded no opportunity 01 diplaying special
acts of individual heroism ;
out, while every man
and boy In the ship displayed the utmost coolness,
seal, and • oourage. there were some who, by their
position and peculiar duties, attracted special at
tention, and closerve special mention.
The marines fought the fine gun upon the top
gallant forecastle, under the charge of Acting Mas
ter's Nate Charles H. Danforth.
The action, on our part, was commenced by this
gun, and its tiro was rapid and of throughout.
The high reputation of their service was nobly
sustained by the marine guard of this ship. The
boatswain, James U. Welton, was observably active
and efficient. Gunner F. A. Graham's duties were
all performed efficiently, and merit comutondatiou.
The carpenter's mate, 'Mark G. Hand, is well kuown
to you, sit, as a faithful and competent man. Ms
conduct in the battle was distinguished by the cool
and intelligent performance or hts duties. It is un
necessary for me to call your attention to the officers
commencing the gun or master's division, as their
duty was performed under your own eye.
I am happy to commend Acting Master's Mate
Ezra Bartlett, in charge of the shell supply, for hi
coolness and efficiency.
In the surgeon's department every arrangement
that experleuce or humanity could suggest was
made for the comfort of the wounded. Fortu
nately wo have hut three of our own crew in that
condition, but after the action the wounded of the
enemy, numbering fifteen persons, were consigned
to the care of Surgeon J. M. Browne, who was
entirely without professional assistance. The du
ties of his department were thereby rendered ex
tremely arduous, but wore coolly and successfully
performed.
Oowln (0. S.) was severely wounded
by the explosion of a shell. lie dragged himself
to the forward hatch, refusing to allow the men to
leave his gun for the purpose of assisting htm. His
cheerful willingness to sacrifice his life for victory's
Sake was expressed In terms that animated and en
couraged others.
John W. Dempsey, quarter gunner, wounded at
the same time, losing an arm, displayed similar
heroism.
James Mcßoth, ordinary seaman, another of the
wounded men, displayed ',nth courage and patience.
All the men on the sick list went to their quarters
and rendered Such service as they were able to
perform.
The engineer's division was admirably and effi
ciently conducted under the command of Chief En
gineer W. H. Cushman.
Sidney L. Smith and Henry McConnell (third as
sistant engineers) were stationed on dock, and their
conduct came Immediately nndor my observation.
It was distinguished by coolness and vigilance. Tho
other assistants, Mr. W. H. Bedlam and Mr. F. L.
31111er, were on duty in the engine and firesroom,
and;judglng from the prompt manner in which the
orders trom the decv were executed, I know that
their duties were creditably porton:led.
Tire ship is indebted to Paymaster J. A. Smith
for efficient service during the action. Ills clerk,
31r. 1). B. Sargent, performed his duty on dock In
the 3d division. The orderly sergeant, T: C. Young,
and the master-at-arms, Jason it. Watruus, deserve
special mention fur admirable performance of their
duty. I will hand to you the names of those men
especially mentioned by the divhsiorudOticOr as soon
as I receive them.
lu conclusion, sir, lot me congratulate you on
the succors of your plan of battlo, and : compliment
you on the skill and judgment disnlayed in its
execution.

covered the Alabama steaming out from the port of
Cherbourg, accompanied by a Preach Ironclad and
a steamer showing the white English ensign and a
yacht flag. Beat to general quarters and cleared
the ship for action, steamed ahead, standug off
shore at 10 50, being instant from the land about two
leagues, altered our course and approached the Ala
barna. At 10.57 the Alabama commenced the action
with her starboard broadside at 1,000 yards range.
At 11 we returned her tire and came fairly into ac.
thin, which we continued until meridian, when. ob
serving signs r f distress in the enemy, together with
a cessation of her lire, our tiro was withheld. At
32.10 a boat, with an officer from the Alabama came
alongside and surrendered his vessel, with the infer.
matter, that she was rapidly sinking, and a request
for assistance. Sent the launch and swimd cut
ter, the other boats being disabled by the tire of the
enemy.
The English 'yacht, before-mentioned, comln with
in hall, was requested by the captain to render
as
sistance in sieving the lives or tho officers and crew
of the surrendered TOM!.
At 12.21 the Alabama went down in forty fathoms
water, leaving most of liar crew struggling in the
water. Seventy persons were rescued bythe boats.
Two pllot-boats and the yacht abSO assisted. One
pilot-bout came alongside of us, Mit the other re
turned to the port. The English yacht steamed ra

Jiannisnunn, July 10.—The difficulty in regard
to the mustering of the militia responding to the
call for one hundred days' service still continues to
exist here. It has already created much heartburn
log and disappointment among the hardy yeomanry
who aro flocking to the defence of our border. That
the whole matter may be fully understood, it is only
necessary to state the order of the War Department,
viz :
“too fractions of companies can be mustered Into
the servlce.”
This order Is rigidly adhered to by the command
ing officer at this post, the result of which Is that
there arc more than 2,000 troops here In companies
of from twenty-five to seventy-five men, who cannot
be mustered Into the service.

ladles has been formed in this city for the purpose
of taking the places as clerks in the stores of such
young men as enlist under the hundred days' call,
holding the places for them till their return, and
having the salaries paid over to them."

Trua harvest has felled both in New South Wales

Publications Received.
From W. B. Zleber, the new number (New York
reprint) of the North British Review. There is a
good notice of the late Lord Elgin, (who, It strikes
us, is needlessly praised for his self-devotion in
holding well-paid offices during nearly all the years
of his public life,) also a . pleasant personal account,
whin' surely Is not criticism, of a fortnight lu Farse,
a chatty paper upon sporting hooks, and an apology
for Lord Russell's foreign policy.
From Fowler & Moon, the July number of the
American Exchange and Realm. Surely, the papers
here (from Chambers' Journal and the Edinburgh
Review) on Edible Insects and Light, Heat, &c.,
are out of place in what ought to be simply a com
mercial work; like Hunt's Merchant's Magazine,
We notice, with a lively hope that It wilt not again
appear, the discontinuance of the wearisome record
called "The Fourth Era of ..American History.w
There arc god articles on Railway Economy, Bra,
oil, and the Currency, and a very clear account of
Petroleum and its Origin. It seems badly punc
tuated—ae cannot understand what " black slate
cannel-flit coal" means.
Prom Deacon & Peterson, the August number
of The Lady's Friend, edited by Mrs. Henry Peter
son. The double fashion-plate, colored, will attraet
the attention of the fair sex, and the frontispiece is
very nearly a good engraving--spolled by the smirk
on-the face of the . child on the extreme left. The
letter-press of the ladies' magazines has never been•
very good, nor can it be when chiefly consisting - of
improbable romances about the war, in which lovers
enlist in a huff, and come back, badly wounded, to
wed the lassei who Pita them. before. If the edi
trix of The Lady's Friend had exercised proper su
pervision, such. an abomination as "there'waste be
a hap that night" could not have been printed: A
„story called "The Transformed Village," and an
old incident, dressed up intd a sketch called "The
Armful of Wood " are considerably above par. The
critical department of this magazine is good. On
the whole, The Lady's Friend is almost a good maga
zine. One merit it has, it does not weary its readers
with plans for sending missionaries to the gorillas in
the Mountains of the Moon, and says never a word,
like our ancient friend, the Mrs. Jellaby of Phila
delphia, about the sweet savages of Berriohoola-
CITY ITICNCS.
