There is not a nation in all Christendom but which is moved by some mighty pulsation— moved now by some strange and mysterious in fluence for good or - evil.. The nations of the Old World are all stirred to the deepest recesses of the society of which they are composed, and lirrirope the - 1i feeling a - longing 'existing among the people, that perplexes politicians and startles the mightiest rulers on their thrones. In lands where heretofore freedom of speech was esteemed one of the worst extrava gancies of the mob, it is now exercised as freely by the-peesentry-as-by-the peer, - -In- the- frozen north, where but a few years ago the people tallfndlifliberti; its our children discourse of and repeat their fairy tales t .they now rehearse new and wild afitheiris to the %dole of freedom, and ' liegin.to stand eyed, shorn of their serfdom, scarcely realizing that they are free, yet anima ted and buoyant with the mighty imbuings of freedom. In thtti t tuZ ;; of / Europe, where the 'old- tlambs - 61 freedom have long since been quenched by .a deluge of superstitition and ig norance,rolling its waves over lands once ded icated to music and song,to eloquence and poetry, or engulphing in its billows the trophies of valor and renown won in centuries of contests, until a moral desolation had weedlike a pall over the countries of the . Adriatic; and the Mediterranean, in these lands the old darkness is giving way to rt - rieWlight; and a fresh feeling, .attimates the revived pulsation of nations.

They are ' invited to new .ellrin9a„by strange apostles., They listen as it were to new doctrines and they cannot or dare not resist their influences. The reformations in Europe, hurried thus impetuous ly forward, have in view, the elevation of the triasisea. Mere 'exClusiventse„ofif caste .oz class gives way to a healthy Democratic sentiment, in which is involved, and insisted upon, the principle of self-government, an equality of soci ety and-an opposition to that aristocracy which has produced the moral and political prostitu tion of the governments in which they have succeeded in maintaining their power. ' 'While all, this change ,and effort after eleva ; tion mark the developments and progress of society:int nrope, singular drains or rather tragedy is being enacted in this country. While the people of Europe, under the light arid influ , ence of the most limited knowledge, are digging down their old altars of superstition, and cre ating in their stead new shrines to be consecra ted to pure religion and an'exalted principle of equality, the people, or a portion of the people of the United States, are struggling in the full light of intelligence and religious freedom, to destroy the equality in which they have prospered as a nation, and establishon its ruins distinetions and orders that have held whole races in bondage in Europe, and prostituted to Afteir-t e energies and .......e' dh ilrolliations Of men. This is gest spectacle certai, that ever was presented to thli - EOntemplairon of the philan thropist or friend Of,mankind. leeither proves that the 'tide - 0f ; hitelligenee receding` file - our shiirts; again to Cast its' jewels on the banks that have been so long unwashed by US waters, Or that we as a free people are com pelled to fight over again the battles we fought with that aristocracy which sought our first subjugation and oppression. If this is not so, then the influence of the declining aristocracy in Europe has been transferred to that meaner aristocracy in this land, that has subsisted so long, neither upon its own intellect or accumu lated wealth, blit upon its barter and sale of the bodies and souls of men, women and chil dren, If this is not so, then we are struggling with madness against a chimera. But unfortn nately for Christianity and mankind, the strug gle in which the.people of America are engaged is distinctly against that which the people of Europe have almost crushed out in countries where it ruled longest and strongest. It is , against the elevation of an aristocratic class. It is against the plain principle of slavery-,,a principle which has sought and achieved the destruction of freedom wherever it has not been boldly encountered and opposed. We ask the careful observer of events in this rebellion to note their similarity with those, events which marked the triumphant elevation of the aristocracies of Europe—and we ask WM, too, to ponder well the mighty issue involved in this struggle with the rebellion of 1861. It is a plain, an open fight for the right of self government. It is the struggle of a free gov ,er,nment with conspirators who Ileek the subver sion of its rights, that they may exercise the prerogatives of government and thedictation of laws to the majority of men. - 101 ~~~ e I=ll= TEE ssormor practiced by tin; rebel conspira tors commends itself to imitation. It is the right war policy under all circumstances, but is peculiarly essential to each army at the'present' time, however faintly we have hitherto attempt ed its observance. A flag of truce from' the commander .of the federal forces, with a mes sage, relating to the wounded prisoners' they hold, cannot enter their lines : a member of our Congress, qualified 'llidon sentiments, may visit theirleadquestets on "private business," tarry many days there, and return to our capi tal, with impunity ; and three gentle Men, for whom it is presumed the rebels have more re spect than for our flag of truce; are - permitted to visit them, in like manner... We do not wisli to, quibble nor to cavil ; but it does appear to ns that there is more of confidence than of wisdom in this system of proceedings, or in these pro ceedings without system. Tun assounaintsrrs of the death of Col. James Cameron, in _Sunbury, the place of his former residence, was received by the tolling of bells, the half-masting of flags i , the sus_ pension of all business, and every token of respect .that a stricken - and sorrowful people could bestow to the memory of the gallant dead. The Sunbury Gal& thus alludes to his glorious death : "When he accepted the command of the dis tinguished regiment at whose head he fell,some doubted the ,propriety of the selection, while others caviled and sneered. His death has no bly antkatiradi4heni.- - .

THE DETECTION OF A FALSEHOOD AND A WORD OF EXPLANATION. When the time of the three months' volun teers was about expiring, in the column under command of Gen. Patterson, the plan of the government was to pay those men before they returned to their homes in Pennsylvania. Prior taltrareseptrattairoftetni;ltantilitorrcon.. of Gen. Patterson, added to the suspicion which attached to his loyalty before he entered the army, compelled the government to snpercede him in command. His command was to end almost `simultaneously , rith the expinition of the first—term-of -Prilligtmorntyslld-h. and chagrined by his proposed removal, Gen. Patterisiii d'eter'mined to damage _both the ad rnirdstration at Washington and at HarristoPril- In the first place, a Ander and devOted com mander would have left no appeal or induce ment untried, to rally these three months' men 'to his service for a few weeks longer. This Gen. Patterson neglected or refused to do, when at the same time he knew that a foe was lying on his flanks, or secretly eluding the pursuit which the foe himself;_ with his military know ledge, had aright to expect from the column under Pattertsm. Harper's Ferry was indanger, and there the government expected-010;114oz son would concentrate his force, after he had succeeded in holding the army taidei Johnan . from marching to reinforce that under Beauret . Bard: , • , - By, such operation and vigor Ons effect, the disaster at Bull Run would haverbeen hair pily avoided, and the confusion and, distrwak among' the' reidin volunteers in Harrisburg completely prevented. But such tin Obedience of order did not snit the passionof the deposed General, or increase his-prospect of gratifying his revenge for the imaginary neglects and hu miliation heaped upon him by the government He not only flagrantly omitted his duty in fail ing to hold the, rebel force under Gen. Johnson in check, but after he-did reach Harper's Ferry, again neglected the performance of that, duty, by urging the return of the volun teers, when he was well aware that the arrange ment ancl i plan , of th!Payal.atitFf t Genera,i, under ibV . diieatinn 'the itar bepaAmeuti was to , PitY=t ll o4eArc4B,at liarPer's FairFe w4ose terms of service were limited to three months. tohaste and anxiety of the Patriot and Anon .i 1 t throw the blame of this disgraceful - business CUrtin exhibiks both its first upon v. ,igno rance and brutish:purposes. By this means It evidently intended to excite the worn out pa tience and , passionate disappointments of the volunteers against the person of the Godernor. Its effort, also, to bring the federal authorities into disrepute, was another exhibition of its political spleen at the sacrifice of every manly principle of truth and candor. So , fir as the administration: at Washington' were concerned, they had prepared to pay these men, but were d in their plena by_the haste and Pas sions of a nraft-whoidlows his pond* preju dices to warp his perairtal Intimate of duty in a period of great public and Private einbpoga meat.

Let the Patriot take warning of the past. Let it renieni ber its own grievons misrepresentation of the volunteers of Pennsylvania, before it now seeks to turn the current of Indignation from - the men who have earned it, to those who are not responsible for the neglects, or who have been thwarted in their efforts to deal justly with the soldiers, by men who hate the administration on' political differences.

A stay law was enacted. The Patrol bill passed, authorizing the Gover nor to organize a patrul in such counties as may need them.---About two huunred thousand dol lars were appropriated for carrying on the gov ernment, and a similar sum for military pur poses. Resolutions were adopted ou the last. day of the session, pledging the members of the Legislature, in an individual capacity, to use all their efforts in etlecting a thorough military organization in Western Virginia. The last...week of the session was occupied chiefly in discussing a bill reported from the Special Committee, on the division of the State. The bill proposes to give the assent of the Le gislature to division, recommending the Con vention to re-assemble to take immediate action. The discuision deve.oped a pretty strong die ,. ent oppated,to diyisjon,_ . A good many favored immediate action, on the ground that when the State should be fully representWassent could., not he obtained, and they wanted to make use of the advantage cir cumstances had thrown in their way.

Hews.—Mr —Mr Hoaropr, (0.,) from th,ettotat mitten on Ways and Means, reported back the direct tax bill as amended, in accordance with the instructions of the House. He explained the modifications which had been made, name ly, the sum to be received from direct taxation is reduced from $30,000,000; as originally de signated; to $20,000;000; this amount to be apportioned among the States according to their population. The States are authorized to collect the money, each to be allowed 15 per centum on its quota for so doing. If a State shall decline to undertake the collection of such tax, the federal government is to put into operation the machinery for the purpose. The Committee also add a tax on carriages of - from one to fifty dollars ; on gold watches of one dollar; on silver ditto fifty cents; and on spirituous liquors, of fifty cents per gaUqn,; and fermented liquors sixty cents per barrel; of two cents per gallon ; on all incomes over six hundred dollars, a tax,of three per centum, including money at interest. The scope of the internal duties has als t been enlarged, and the tax on larided estates reduced. Every interest in the country is taxed in fair proportion, in cluding a tax on the nett income of banks, but not on their currency or bank- circulation.— Even the salaries'of members of Congress;, are, included in the items of taxation. The House, by a vote of 65 yeas against' 67 nays, refused to order the previous question on the passage of the tax bill. Mr. Cotrax, (Ind.,) moved to recommit the bill to the Committee of Ways and Means, with instructions to provide for the return of the surplus revenue heretofore distributed among the States, which would, be said, obvi ate the necessity for direct taxation and be much less objectionable ; also to modify the present tariff so as to impose duties on the free list, and increase those on such other schedules as will augment the revenue. Thirdly, the reduction of duties which now amount to prohibition so that additional revenue may thus be derivable. And fourthly, the retention of the internal duties as provided for in the bill and the addi tion thereto of stocks. Mr. HorroN opposed the proposition made by Mr. Colfax. HARPER'S FERRY EVACUATED BY THE FEDERAL ARMY Passengers who let Harper's Ferry yesterday, brought information last evening that Gen: Banks sent over to the Maryland side on Batur day all his camp equipage and military storei, and yesterday his army evacuated the place, and crossing over to the Maryland side, occu pied the heights. Confederate pickets were reported to be close upon Harper's Ferry, and it'wes even rumored that a strong confederate army was approaching from the vicinity of Leesburg. r s, Gen. Banks had over 20,000 men under his command on Thursday last, and since then sev- , eral regiments have passed through Baltimore ! , en route for Harper's Ferry, and have, of course, ere this arrived there, swelling his entire force to 85,000 or 40,000 men.
