The biicf lmt emphaiie speech of the President at Washington last night will command the attention of political parties —more than this, it will receive the nb ' solute commendation of the people .gene rally. There is ho great credit-to ho given to Mr. Lincoln for his declaration that in no case would he oppose the will of the people; his obedience to their decrees is pre-stipposed. ' The President does not announce that his course shall be patriotic, whatever the event may be, in any spirit other than that of the plain spoken sincerity, which is one of Ms cha racteristic virtues. He is aware that it has been said by‘ his political opponents that, if he is not elected, he will en deavor to maintain his power by usur pation; he tabes the shortest and the clearest, way of denying the charge. He goes further. He admits that the people have the right tcMleclare immediate peace, even if they sacrifice their country and their liberties in doing it. “ I know not the power or the right to resist them.” Now, it is no great honor to the Presi ‘ dent that lie has spoken .thus,- for thus 'every true patriot must-feel; but let it -be remembered, too, that no one but ■ a true patriot could have made this speech. Yiilue, imlike the diamond, de * jives no worth from its rarity. It has an absolute value; and Mr. Lincoln’s; pa; triotifm and impartiality have absolute value, in which the people may well trust. He has done nopiing heroic in refusing to usurp the power which belongs to the peo ple, hut he has done his duty, and his whole duty. His speech is .worthy of himself and' of the nation. In what he says of the,abo- ; lition of slavery in Maryland, of his own fidelity to the great trust jeposed in him, and of the soldiers and the sailors, he ■ speaks as a true, leader ought to speak to the intelligent masses who sustain him. British Non-Interference. Hatl .England sympathized witli the North when the Rebellion broke out; had she even remained entirely neutral, the civil war would have been ended in a few ' months, and the British and the Ameri cans would have been good friends foT ever,' aftdf ' that.. ¥e had a, right’to look for sympathy, for support, at least for strict neutrality, from a nation which had de rived her greatest glory, in modern times, from her noble and disinterested opposition to negro slavery—from a people which, thirty-years ago, had taxed themselves one hundred million dollars to caTry out Abo litionism within every territory over which the British flag waves. Instead of this, though the national heart was true, the leading newspapers, the most powerful statesmen, the most thorough-going of the Ministers.sympathized with ' the wrong doers, • Neutrality was proclaimed in the Queers- •name.- How was it : observed? Where, but in British ports, were the Ala bama, the Georgia, and other . buccaneering ships built, fitted out for war, and transferred to the Rebels? Where, butia England, have fleets of blockade-runners been engaged, with Britisli capital, to sup ply Rebeldom with the munitions of war, withthe necessaries—even with the luxuries of life Where, save : at Bermuda and the Bahamas, did these Mockad e-Tanners find handy ports'of rendezvous, and the pi-' rates obtain coal and provisions ? Where hut in England did, one leading Minister of the Crown (RusselL) virtually abnegate the very neutrality he had proclaimed, in his sovereign’s name, by publicly deliver ing the extra-official opinion, uncalled for. and untrue, that the Southern States were' in arms for independence, the Northern for dominion ? Where did another mem ber of Queen Victoria’s ministry (Glad stone) declare, at a public dinner, that Jefferson Davis had made the Southern ' States into a great nation ?_ Russell and Gladstone have ceased to utter such foolish declarations as these—biit the words remain—and did good service to the rebels for a time. A certain show of maintain inn. neutrality lias since been observed, but ft cannot be said that it is more than a sho w while the -Bahamas, Bermuda, and New Brunswick and" Nova Scotia supply free ports to British vessels engaged in the ille gal purpose of running the blockade* into Wilmington- and other American; ports, which, truth to say, we ought to have effectually prevented by proper employ ment of our navy. But for the' blockade running, the South, deprived of the muni- . lions of war and the leading necessaries of life, would have been hors do combat three years ago. The-.present purpose of England, we believe, is to leaVe the belligerents on this Continent to fight it out without interfe rence. France, by herself, is not likely to meddle. England, if the truth be told, is at once unable and indisposed to take a Step which would bring her into collision with any "other Power. Her policy, rather ostentatiously proclaimed, is 11 Peace at any price, * which is a virtual abdica tion of the pre-eminence her rmoney and commerce so long gave her .'among the na tions. This policy, as wc read it, means that England will submit to a great deal rather than go into war. Besides, just at this moment, - her ‘ 1 wooden walls” being' condemned as inefficient, the British navy is in a, transition state. It was thought that a great change was made, .when steam vessels were substituted for sailing vessels - but other changes have been commenced— iron-clad men-of-war, moved by steam not canvas* and turrct-crownea Monitors have become the fashion, and with those England is indifferently provided, as yet, and is even pausing in her ship-yards to observe and to. ascertain how the new and formidable vessels of. war sustain them selves in our strife. >' - Economy is another cause of Englandis peace policy. Hr, 'Gladstone believes that his is the mission of reducing the taxes -Of the British people. As a finance min ister he has shown decided ability, andvhis theory is that taxation must he diminished, that this can he done only by persistency in avoiding the cost of war, and that peace 'must, therefore, We maintained. It is stated semi-officially in the British papers that, in the ensuing Parliamentary session, the Government will propose to cut off thirty per cent; of the present force and cost of the British army. This is likely enough, for immediately after this reduction is made 4jjsre will be a dissolution of Parliament, And the Ministry would be rbjoiccd to go before tlie electors, as at the close of-1830; with the cry of Retrenchment and Econo my. The other cry of that time they will not raise, for Palmerston, a bitter old Tory at heart, is decidedly opposed to Par liamentary Reform. England cannot afford, just now, to quarrel with any nation. A great storm . Is coming, and her vessel of the State must take in nil sail and try to weather it, if pos sible, by scudding under hare poles. The cloud, no bigger than a man’s hand, is plainly palpable in'the horizon. Commer cial difficulties in England move in a cycle of ten years. Th|re were failures, distress, discontent, in ITOS, in 1805, in 1815, after Napoleon's foil; in 1825, after the wild speculations m mining and foreign loans; in 1885; out of joint-stock bank specula tions and American monetary troubles; in 1845,1 after the railway mania ; in more joint-stock company ad ventures ; and, already, “ coming events cast their shadows before,” for the Leeds Rank, with a nominal capital of §500,000, has failed for f 1,000,000, and some of the foremost houses in -Leeds,• Huddersfield, Manchester, Liverpool, Hull, Sheffield,, and London, have dcclared-themselvcs insolvent. When the great houses fall—W. T. Brown & Co., of Liverpool, cotton and colonial broker% have gone down with liabilities of $2,- 500,000, and Walkeb, CoLEswonra, &: Co., for from §2,500,000 to §3,000,000, as last advices slate —the small firms cannot hold out. As yet, out of a baker’s dozen of reported failures scarcely any has been for a > less amount than §500,000. These make the commencement of " the crash, and it is unlikely that the year 1865 • will be les3 destructive than were 1855, 1845, * and other periodical decades of ruin. Now, as in 1845, 1835, and 1825, the cause of this has been wild- speculation. While the effects continue, n# British Minister' can expect England to venture into wav— for that would burn the candle at both ends. The ruin we had in 1857, England is likely to experience in 1805. It has commenced a-few months before it was. anticipated, but its culmination may' be looked for in the spring. The very ap prehension of what may happen; to frus trate trade and commerce and to de stroy wealth, is a sufficient guarantee that. England, were her rulers so disposed, can not afford to interfere in the, American rebellion, which we are now bringing to a close. ... ■ ' At the Continental Theatre, last night, where the “ Democracy ” perform that stupid farce which would be a terrible tragedy were it not destined to be laughed at, a gentleman from Hew York made a speech in which the late Union victories were sneered at and'.ridiculed. When he said that Sherman was “ coopedup;” that Sheridan was “ retreating, ’ ’ he was actu ally applauded. “If I w'ere a Souther ner,” said a gentleman who witnessed this disgraceful scene, ‘‘ I could have applauded too; but I cannot understand how any Northern man could rejoice in the misfor tunes of Kortkern armies.” It is hard, in deed,to understand. The speech over, a number of young women, dressed in white, sang a song to the rebel tune of “Huzza! Huzza! for Southern rights,” having the decency, however, to substi tute ‘ equal” for “ Southern.” The in teresting performance concluded with an other chorus, in which it was. declared that,“ Let the war jog on as it will, we will stand, by the . party - still - good old Party, gay old party, Democratic party still.” And this was a Democratic meet ,ing-in1864! , ; : : ; If there had existed in the Southern" Stafcs.during this war, as does exist in the- Northern States, a political party like the Democracy of the North, the rebellion ■would long ago have been over. But the Union men in the South were forcibly si lenced. Jeff Davis, by proclamation, - gave all; residents of the States in his pow er forty days to take the oath of allegiance to him, ox Id leave the country. It was im possible to organize a party opposed to the rebellion. The North, on the contrary, is divided. - This; accursed division m all that stands in the way of a speedy peace. If the people of the North were united, the South could not, would not resist; that they are not united the Copperhead leaders are responsible, and Gen. McClellan is not the less so in consenting to become their tool." The proposal of the Vice President of the Southern ; Confederacy, that' the -war should be ended by a universal affirmation of “ the ultimate, absolute sovereignty of the States,” cannot mean the restoration of thullnipm If Mr. Stephens did mean this, he was guilty of an absurdity equalied by no Irish bull. On such a basis the Union ; would be- “ restored ” with the ex press stipulation it should at any moment be destroyed. The very terms of the re storation imply the possibility of its destruction. Is this “ the ray of light ” tbatfljeamedTrpm CMcago ? The roHTrciANs who; argue that the in terference of the President with slavery is unconstitutional invariably ignore the all .important fact that the slave States are in rebellion. They emphasize the constitu tional limitations of Executive power in time of peace; they omit all reference to the con stitutional extensions of power in time of w r ar. Mr. Chase, in his late speech at Covington, concisely stated the legal au thority the President possesses on this sub ject. He said: . - “The Constitution provided for raising armies, .andmade' the President Commander-in-Chief. It gave Mm, therefore, full power to take all steps ne cessary to the effectual prosecution of tho war. The best statesmen in the land'have said, and tho pro position has passed unchallenged, that In case of in surrection or foreign war tho Institution of slavery must bo subject to euoh disposal.as the national in* terests should require. In other words, that with irsuite ction in a slaveholding State the whole power over slavery mustpass to the National Go vernment. In my judgment, when insurrection gave the President power over slavery, with that power came the duty to’put an end to it. Mr. Lin coln was bound to do that, which was necessary for the salvation of the Republic.” It is plain that wc hare a local iimrrec- tion, and a. national authority to suppress it. In such a case, there can be'hio, such •thing as the right of rebels to local institu tionswhich, in the opinion of the hTational Government, are dangerous to its own existence. ■ * Me. Sandfoed E. Church is one of the leading McClellan men of New York. Mr. CrxuKcit, after warmly praising the Gene ral, declared that the war “is an unlawful and unconstitutional war; that it is a wicked war; that it is a crime against G-od and humanity; that they have no more right to call »i>on the wbito mon of the North, ortha trea sury of the North, to fight such battles, than they have a right, without cause, to make war upon Bra-, zil, or Cuba, because the institutions of those countries do not please their Puritanical notions.” General- McClellan, in consenting to be advocated for the Presidency in this way, -has already forfeited the Confidence of the soldiers. There can be no military enthusiasm excited by a candidate nomi nated on the ground that the, war *“ is a disastrous failure.” The soldiers say “I cannot support him. Can you ?” , A GEEAT deception is practiced upon the soldiers b*y the circulation of Copperhead electoral tickets labeled - “ Union- Soldier's Tote," Friends of the soldier should see to the prevention and counteraction of this insidious mischief. ' - ' ' ■ The Govbrhjcebt Loab.— We extract the fol lowing from the letter of an officer to a friend In this city: t “° n . atlollal I( >ans arc not safe It will be be ° /h favorable issue of tbls war for the rebels, and in that ease I would not give a dime for any se curity In the country. N “> trust in God and the naiion; it has fed and protected us those many years s let us now lend for its support what we have It is not much; but if every one were too cautious to Invest in national loans the great, just, divine cause, for which the majority have been struggling for which we, too, have given that which was so’ very precious to us, would long since havo beon lost forever. We have given up to God and the nation of what was dearest to us; do not let us hesitate about the fate of a few hundreds or thousands of dollars; Invest It all in the loan, and so help on the right cause; Were I possessed of ten thousand millions, I would not withhold one dollar of It; for I firmly believe that I should- be lending it to the God of justice, Inasmuch as it would be lent for tile sake cf humanity, and for the rights of mas.” “Men to Execute the Work.” The Richmond Whig, of October 15th, expresses great indignation at the recent destruction of mills and other property on rebel soil in the Shenandoah Yalley.' There is no doubt that General Sheridan was instructed to_ cut off, as far as possible, the resources of the insurgent army, nor that he did it. Strangely enough, the Whig regards this as a most unpardonable outrage, to destroy property at this rate, and render the families of rebel districts houseless; ’and it proposes, as an offset, to burn up New York and Boston, and per haps several other Northern cities, which,, it thinks, would be a very easy matter. And it adds the; very significant state ment that “ the men u execute the worh'are already there." It would seem; then, that the insurgents have their emissaries in our cities, and that they Sre men who may he relied on to do the terrible work cf destruc tion whenever the word is given. It is an interesting question to owners of houses, stores, ships, factories, <&c., who these men are, in what streets they live, what is their occupation, where do they meet for coun sel ? Perhaps they are holding public of fices. They may be falsely registered in our hotels. They may be temporarily em ployees in our workshops or printing of fices. They may be agents, going from place to place, and thus maturing their dark plots without exciting suspicion. ~ Have we not reason in the present, and frorii the past, to' draw, the cords, of our police surveillance a little -tighter ?. May we not .stretch our .charity unwisely, and wink at signs of treasonable purposes that should awaken .vigilance ? The laws are for the protection of peaceable citizens, and for the terror of evil-doers. Is it not time Xo make their vigilance felt, when we are thus significantly told, those who himo, that the red hand of treason is on the table at which wc eat, in the cars in which we ride, and perhaps in the temple where wc worship? The interest of one in this matter is-the interest of all. If we would have the loathsome serpent whose fangs are aimed at the life of our country destroyed, we must rely on no halfway, measures. One spirit must nerve the. .arm that shall strike the blow. The mere seem ing to ?elmtvri\l6n\y increase the venom and ferocity of the reptile. WASHINGTON.

SI’EECII OF THE PRESIDENT. The President was serenaded at the * White House to-night, and, on appearing at an upper win dow, spoke as follows, being frequently interrupted ■by applause : ..:■■■■■ . “I am notified that this is a compliment paid me by the loyal Marylanders resident In tbisD latrict, I jnfer that the adoption of the new Constitution for the State furnishes the occasion, and that, in your view, the extirpation of slavery constitutes the chief merit of the new Constitution. V “Most heartily do I congratulate you and Mary land, and the nation, and the world upon the event. I regret that It did not ocear two .years sooner, which, lam sure, would; have saved to the nation more money than would have met all the private loss Incident to the measure. But it has cbme, at last, and I sincerely hope Its friends may felly re alize all their anticipations of good from it, and that its opponents may, by its effects, be agreeably and profitably disappointed, ‘i A word upon' another subject. Something said by the Secretary of sState, in his recent speech at Auburn, has been construed by some into a throat that, if I shall be beaten at the election, I will, be. tween then and the end of iny constitutional term, do what 1 may be able to ruin the Government. Others regard the fact that the Chicago Convention adjourned not sine die, but to meet again, if called to do so by a particular individual, as the Intimation of a purpose that if their nominee shall be elected he will at once seizo the control of the Government. I hope the good people will permit themselves to suffer no uneasiness on this point. ' “I am struggling to maintain the Government, not to overthrow it. I am struggling especially to prevent others from overthrowing it. .1 therefore say that, if I shall live* I shall-remain President until tho fourth of next March, and that whoever shall be constitutionally elected therefor, in 'No* vember, shall be duly installed as President on the foiuth of March, and that, ; in the interval, f shall do my utmost that whoever is to hold the helm for the next voyage shall; start with tho best pos sible chance to save the Bhip. “ Tbis is due to the people both on principle and under the Constitution. Their will, constitutionally expressed, is the ultimate law for all. If they should deliberately resolve to have immediate peace, even at the loss of thcir-'country and their liberties, I knownot the power or the right to resist them. It is their own business, and they "must do as they please with their own. I believe, however, they are still resolved to preserve their country’and their liberty; and, in this office or out, I am resolved to stand by them) I may add, that in this pnrposo to save the country had its liberties no classes of people seem so nearly unanimous as the soldiers In the field and seamen afloat. Do they not hare the hardest of it? Who should quail while they do not. T God bless the soldiers and seamen, with all their brave com manders !” THE OVERLAND MAIL.

It is a source of complaint, ancl very justly, too that,the colored troops and their officers have not received their meed of praise from thochroniclers of events in the army, for their splendid "advance and gallant hearing on the 29th ult. There Is no disguising the fact that the post of honor and danger was assigned to the 3d Division (Colored), isth Corps, under General Payne, and that .in every re spect the troops acquitted themselves grandly. With a view of performing an act of justice to the living, as well as merited tribute to ’the lamented' dead, I now place on record the : gallant, charge of the 2d Brigade, under Colonol A. G. Draper, which : handsomely carried the enemy’s works, making a passage to the very gates of the rebel strongholds. On the memorable 29th ult. the 2d Brigade, com posed of the 30th, SSth, and 6th XT. S. C. T., waß formed in column in the rear of the woods, near the Bennen House. Every man looked like a soldier, while- inflexible determination was depleted upon every countenance'. The officers, as -they went along the line, were impressed with an unwavering confidence by the martial bearing of the troopih The fears which generally {precede the for a desperate conflict soon .gave place tolffipe, and, as the eye ran down the lino, the unconquera ble purpose manifested in the brightened eyes of redeemed freemen inspired the officers in command with a settled conv ction of victory. The 4th and 6thTJ. S. O, T. being thrown, forward as skirmishers, at the same time, ordered,to carry the enemy’s works if possible, moved out in echelon order oyer two tines of well constructed; abattis, to a palisake within twenty feet of his entrenchments, into which hs was driven at a speed to which dou ble-quick Is no comparison. Here the enemy rallied, and encouraged by reinforcements, sub jected these two regiments to the most galling fire, which they stood without flinching. Gen. Payne comprehending the state of affairs, ordered them to fall hack, which they did with-great reluctance, as they wished to have the honor of being the first to mount the enemy’s breastworks. Col. Draper was now ordered forward with his bri gade, which advanced in linear double column to i the left, when he was ordered to the right immedi ately, to assault-the enemy’s works! When within about twelve hundred yards oV his entrenchments the .brigade was shelled severely from a battery on the New Market Heights, when the men were or .dered to lie down, in which position they remained half an hour.

Notwithstanding this delay, with the advantage greatly in favor of the enemy, it seemed almost im possible to encourage .the troops upon the works, and they were equally as stubborn in' their resolu. lion not to retreat. They, however, advanced to the'very muzzles of the rebels' muskets, when-the most galling lire was poured Into them.

Passengers recently arrived flrom England] have, strange stories to tell of the interest which the Bri tieh aristocracy is taking in the present stale of the country, and the practical means by which It Is struggling to effect the election of Mr.- McClellan. One, a clerical gentleman, bears testimony to the fact that these neutral persons of quality are send ing on divers sums of money,, wherewith the lovers of peace may appeal earnestly to the uriterrified, and secure their votes for him, tho Chicago and Eu ropean nominee. This fact, which has long been more, than suspected, now receives a specific con firmation.

He was robbed, and, while lying nearly senseless upon the pavement, was fired at thrice. Only one of theshots took effect upon his person; and this inflicted an in. considerable Injury. His companion was at the same time subjected to robbery. Burglary, assaults, and minor, offences have grown suddenly over fre quent. THE BROOKLYN MYSTERY.

It would appear from, all which has been “gathered thus far, that tho au thorities have, as yet, ne absolute suspicion inculpat ing any particular parties ; although it is expected that a posi tive identification of the remains will af ford some absolute light in the case.

INTERESTING FLACI RAISING. -The Twenty-sixth ward, a part of the old First ward, in the southwestern section of our city, is an institution ofitself, lull of manufactories of various hinds', neat dwelling houses, and intelligent, happy, loyal residents. It Is a growing ward. Here capi talists seek to invest their money, and thus the working classes find more and more employment. Recently the ward east its maiden vote, and ft heavy majority was rolled up for the Union party.' located at the corner of Washington avenue and Twenty-first street 16 the Continental woolen mill of Messrs. Campbell & Pollock. The last-named' gentleman was elected to the Select Council for the full term of three years at the recent election. The operatives of the mill, fully impressed with the Im portance of “rallying around the flag,” had one made, and yesterday afternoon it was presented to the firm, after which It was unfurled to the westerly breeze amid the cheers of the operatives, male and female. Tho presentation took place In the second story,of the main mill. fllr. Frank S. Johnson delivered a brief presentation speech abounding with -patriot ism, in which ho aptly said that the emblem of our nationality thus presented to tho enterprising firm told at once the promptings of the hearts of the givers—an evidence of their loyalty. Mr. Campbell, one of the flrm,Topliod in an appro priate manner, and remarked that the great flag was yet-powerful for good, and -under It 3 liberal folds the people of this country must and shall prosper. It is the flag that must command respect. It mat be insulted by petty tyrants and aristocratic traitors, but still it looked brighter than before. He thanked the operatives for their kindness in thus presenting an emblem of Liberty to grace the Con. tinental Bliils. - - Mr. William Dunlap, being loudly called for, also made a very* happy and patriotic speech, after which - tho party, men and women, assembled in front of the mill. As the sun looked out from an aperture in the western clouds, thus smilingupon the scone,the flag was'run np to the top of the pole that surmounts the building, and as it unfurled its beauty to the up turned faces of the party, the song of “ Rally Round tho Flag, Boys,” led by Mr. Johnson, made the wolkin ring. - These ceremonies being ever, the operatives and their friends Indulged in a handsome collation, and everything passed offina happy, joyous manner. We may say that this section of the eityJs improv ing rapidly, and is peopled by an industrious class of citizens, in whose keeping the flag of our Union is perfectly saic. .

The altar, the walls, and the or gan loit were draped with black, and a catafalque symbolizing death was reared in the main aisle, dl rectly'in front-of the altar,-and lighted up with myrlad,fllckeriDgtapers. lit. Rev. Bishop Wood and a large number of the Catholic clergy of this city, and the diocese generally, were seated In'the sanc tuary, and before the commencement of the solemn requiem mass chanted impressively the beautiful office for the dead. A large'and devout congrega tion filled the rest of the church. Right Rev. Bi shop O’Connor, late of Pittsburg, but now a simple member of the Society of Jesus, pronounced the panegyric, pointing out the labors and. the tri umphs of the dead,-and exhorting thB eongre-ration to Imitate his virtues: . - A large and powerful choir, under the direction of Thomas E. Harkins, Esq., ably rendered the mourn ful music of the mass—Ohnewald’s Requiem, in F—... Mr. Baumann, the regular organist of the church, presiding at”tho organ. At the Offertory, the ex quisite contralto solo, “The- Prayer from Stra oei-a,” was feelingly sung by Miss Caroline Mc- Caffrey. At the Absolution, Mr. Harkins sang the basso solo, “Absents;”: and at the conclu sion of the mass, the solo, “ Ecca Deus ;Salvator Mens;” Both were given with his usual power and faithful expression. The dirge,' “An gels ever bright and fair,” was sung by Madame Baumann. This is usually the last hymn in the re quiem service of the Catholic Church, mingling Its pathos with the harsh rattling of the clay upon the coffin lid. Mr. Harkins was well supported id the tenor parts by Messrs. Moore and Groff, of the Ger man Samgerbund, in the bass by Herr Anton, also .ofthe Samgerbund, and John J. Meany, Esq., of the choir of St. Joseph’s. Church; in the soprani by Miss Fagan and Miss Elite McCaffrey. This.eeremony of the “Month’s Mind,” asits name -indicates, is intended at once to commemorate the virtues of the deceased—to incite all to the emula tion of them, and to intercede lor Mm before God, that all sinful stains be washed, and he be allowed entrance on the enjoyment ,of the reward of his good works,’ It Is a counterpart of the requiem services with which the dead are consigned to the earth in everything except that the body is not pre sent before the altar.. It is extremely solemn, and appeals withequai emphasis to heart and head. fiSISiITAKY. MAJOR GENERAL D. IJ. BIRNEY. We are requested by .Col. Oollis to invite all offi cers who have served under Gen.
