WHILE SOME OF THE EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS
awamique..teinterfere in the strife of a few
desperate men to destroy this government, we
do not hear of a single instance in that di
rection which offers to correct the barbarity
with which the rebels conduct their hostilities.
The world has learned of the treatment of the
federal prisoners in the filthy slave pens of
Richmond, and yet we have heard of no protest
on that account, for the sake of humanity.
The world has also heard of the worse than
savage brutality with which the wounded and
dead were outraged after the disaster at Ma
nast•as, and still the world is silent. But, for
sooth, the war is horrible, because the markets
of Europe have been allowed to become over
glutted with foreign manufactured goods, and
the blockade of rebel ports by ,the federal
navy, threatens a few English and French spin
dles with idleness. This is the horrible part of
the war—but the aristocracies of Europe will
scarcely be able to make much capital out of
this construction of horror. If they are emu.
14 us of interference, let them intervene to com
pel Jeff Davis and his associate robbers and
assassins, to conduct this war in a degree of
manliness and humanity, and not, as they are
doing, with the spirit of demons and savages.
Such intervention would meet the applause of
Ood and man.
GENERAL CAMERON'S speech delivered at the
banquet iu this city, is having a wide spread
circulation, and is being strongly commented
on particularly by the press of Pennsylvania.
It has been copied by a large portion of the
independent journals of the state, the editors
of which regard it as one of the ablest defences
any public man has ever made of his own pub
lic actions. It is so regarded because it abounds
in the facts which go to make up a strong vin
dication, and because it also has the advantage
of documentary proof to establish all that is
claimed by its distingukhed author. It will
continue to be read by the people, as they seek
the light for au explanation of the foul attacks
which were made ou the ex-Secretary of War at
a time when the public safety demand his si
lence.
Tits VOTE of the Ninth District of Illinois,
(Egypt,) for member of Congress, to succeed
John A. Logan, was as follows : William J.
Allen, peace Democrat, 4,795 ; Samuel S. Mar
shall, regular Democrat, about 4,000 ; Ishman
G. Haynie, Union Democrat, 1,053 ; all others,
591, Mr. Allen was a member of the late Con
stitutional Convention,
GENERAL FREMONT has decided to hang guar_
Alias and bushwhackers in case that he is not
interfered with. It is said that when a guerrilla
falls into the hands of his soldiers, the usual
report of the guard is, " that the prisoner tried
to escape and was shot," or that " a gun acci
dentally went off and killed him.
EVERY TRAITOR who utters a disloyal senti•
ment on the streets of Baltimore is at once
knocked down by a loyal man. The same
practice would have a beneficial effect in other
localities north of Baltimore.
A BALLOON REOONNOISCANOR was made from
the Head Quarters of Gen. McClellan on Satur
day, which disclosed the fact that the rebel
army was then evacuating Richmond.
RUSSIA AND THE lINTTED Si AYES.
When the emancipation of the serfs of Russia
took the world by surprise, and when the
changes in the policy of the Russian govern
ment induced the nations of Furope to make
new alliances and propose new treaties, then it
was that the relations between the Russian Em
peror and the United States Government began
to assume a cordial, friendly and reciprocal
character. These governments, representing
two great extremes, pursuing opposite paths,
were deemed the most unlikely of all the na
tions of the world ever to be brought into con
tact such as would lead the one to sympathize
with the other in any embarrassment that might
attend or any impediment which might over
take them in their wonderful paths of progress.
Russia, representing an absolute monarchy,
little advanced in mechanical improvements
the 'result of the genius of her own people,
making war and conquest its highest aim, and
seeking power as the noblest object for the
achievement of its rulers, it was not to be ex
pected that such a nation, led by its own im
pulses, would seek the friendship and alliance
of a perfectly free government, such as is repre
sented in the Union of these States. Yet such
is tt.e fact. Russia even now stands in the way
of the plots and counter-plots of what are
termed the more christian governments of
Europe ; and were it not for the fear of demon
titration by the " Emperor of all the Russias,"
we honestly believe that both France and Eng
land would long since have interfered in the
embarrassments of our own government in a
manner to secure its final overthrow, and a
prompt recognition of the slaveholder's confed
eracy by the nations of the world. As it is,
the hypootisy of England, particularly, has been
exposed, and the designs of that government
completely frustrated, by the attitude of Rus
sia. England, with all her boasted regard for
civil and religious liberty, is in reality the ma
lignant foe of both. While professing to lead
in the cause of humanity and religion, she
makes slaves of those who will not bow before
the altars which she has erected, and tramples
upon the rights of those who refuse to recognize
in British teaching the only evidences and in
culcation of civilization. Let Ireland and India
be summoned to prove the truth of this, in the
history of the wrongs which both have suffered
from British oppression, while our own expe
rience can be adduced to oJrroborate whatever
of evil Ireland or India can bring to the charge
of the English government. It is this conduct
which England is anxious to repeat. She has
stretched her hand out a dozen times to arrest
our progress—she has raised her arm repeatedly
to sever our Union, and now, joined in sympa
thy by the aristocracies of many of the nations
of Europe, she is only deterred from inflicting
a blow at the Union when that Union is sup
posed to be in danger, by the bold attitude of
Russia, and the determined manner in which
England and her sympathizers are menaced at
home by the armed millions of the Czar.
After years will cement the friendship, (thus
begun in the adversity of one,) of these two
nations, while the thought of Russian devo
tion to American freedom and the American
Union, will become hallowed and ennobled as
that Union and freedom become extended and
strengthened. After years will prove to the
Russian government, that bad, indeed, must
be its cause, when it fails to receive the sym
pathy and support of the people of America.
On the land and the sea, Russia and America are
now fast friends. What Russia has extended
to us by the power of her stupendous influence
to awe the governments of Europe into at
least a forced neutrality, we will reciprocate in
his sublime spectacles, but no less beneficial
and valuable influences. What we can con
tribute of genius ; and construction in the arts
and sciences—what we can improve and tender
in mechanism, will be freely given, until the
hour when more positive services may be de
manded, and then as certain as foes threaten
Russia, America will be ready to counsel or
succor her ally.
IS MASSACHUSE7TS WRONG P
Those who were so prompt in condemning
the Governor of Massachusetts for his reply to
the President, on the subject of furnishing raw
troops to enter the sickly regions of the south,
while thousands of men in that region were
anxious and willing to do the same service, and
who were acclimated, should read Gov. An
drew' s proclamation, and then accord to good old
Massachusetts the honor which is her due. It
must be remembered that the reply of Gov.
I Andrews, about which so much bad talk has
been elicited, was to an order, not calling for
troops, but asking how soon certain troops
could be recruited and sent forward. The Sec
retary of War had propounded the same question
to all the Governors, and the response of all
were of course patriotic and prompt. That of
Gov. Andrews would never have been question
ed, had not the excitement attending Bank's re
treat followed, and then it was perverted into
a reply to a summons for troops to meet that
dire emergency. Such is not the fact. When
the summons came direct for troops, and when
Gov. Andrews was asked to send forward men,
he issued an order at once, couched in the
most eloquent terms, thrilling with a patriotic
appeal, and urgently calling on his fellow citi
zens to rally once more for the national de
fence. Let not Massachusetts be wronged in a
perversion of her motives, when her acts are so
full of real valor, patriotism and devotion.
Tee New Taoore now marching on to Wash
ington city, will be placed in charge of the forts
and intrenchmenta of that vicinity, while those
now occupying those positions will be attached
to the divisions of the army now in Virginia.
This will afford a fine opportunity for the young
recruit to fit himself for service, before he is
compelled to face a foe in a fight, as it is not
likely that any rebel force will ever venture . by
strategy or trick, to encounter the well ar
ranged defences of Washington city.
THE NEWS SHEJ'r, a notorious and malignant
secession sheet printed in Baltimore, was corn•
pelled to display the Old Flag from the dome
of its office, yesterday. This is not the first
time that the indignant masses have compelled
traitor sympathizers to hang out the starry
banner. We wot of just such a case.
Ipennegivanio Math) Catgut*); eutsbav Afternoon, Map 27, 1862.
The excitement throughout the loyal states,
consequent on the disastrous retreat of Gen.
Banks from the Shenandoah Valley, Va., is
capable of two explanations. When the news
reaches Europe, that the people of the loyal
states were thrown into convulsions on the
route of four thousand men by a force of four
times their number, military men will conclude
that we are either an exciteable people, easily
panicized, or that we have a poor appreciation
of what even the world deems our impregnable
position. The other explanation which may be
made with satisfaction by our friends abroad
and at home, is that our people require but
little to stir them to action, and that aside
from the secret sympathy which has all along
existed in the loyal states for the slave-drivers,
the great masses of the people are sound in
their devotion to the Union, and are ready
not only to sacrifice money and property, but
are prompt in devoting themselves whenever
the danger becomes imminent or a demand is
urgent. This was illustrated yesterday all over
the loyal states, while the fact of sympathy
for treason was also manifest and obseivable
in the actions and silence of the tainted poli
ticians of this city. Indeed, we noticed more
than one man, who by his - silence when
almost a!l others were indignant at the brutal
conduct of tho traitors to our wounded, and
who refused the expression of a single regret
at the supposed disaster which bad attended
our troops, proved the rankling hatred that
filled his bosom, and indicated how closely he
was yet in alliance with his old political
associates of the rebellion.
—But it is evident now, that the movements
of Jackson and his cut throat assassins in
Shenandoah Valley, were the result more of the
desperate condition of the main body of the
rebel army, than any deliberate action for a
deliberate object. The rebels are reported to
be in a starving condition ; the report is plan
sable that their commissary resources are daily
diminishing, without a corresponding supply,
and therefore this movement in the Shenan
doah Valley was for the purpose of possessing
themselves of the rich country in the vicinity,
and thus immediately secure an adequate sup
ply of subsistence. Our own stores having been
partly destroyed as Banks retired, the enemy
are now reported to be leaving the valley more
precipitately tkon they entered, so that it is
possible the ground which was lost in the last
few days, may be once more regained without
firing a gun.
Our own explanation, that the affair has once
more fairly tested northern sentiment, will
eventually result in counteracting any influ
ence which our seeming panic may have in
Europe. This will be produced when the en
thusiasm of the loyal people of the Union is
fairly estimated, as it was in Baltimore, where
the indignant Union men drove notorious se
cessionists from the streets. The stirring up of
our people to such impulsive demonstrations,
will also strengthen the military feeling—keep
men alert for any possible contingency, and
perserve the strength of our arms in force for
any similar disaster in store for us. Penn
sylvania herself has felt the force of this sudden
call in all her localities; and while it was at
first startling and dismaying it now only leaves
her staid people in that loyal feeling which is
showing itself in thousands of men rushing to
arms. The Adjutant General is overwhelmed
with offers of troops. Let this fact suffice for
any temporary excitement or dismay which the
first news of the retreat of Banks army have
created.
THE INVENTION OF IRON CLADS.
We alluded, recently to the fact that the in
vention of the process of casing the hulks of
vessels in iron, and - thus adapting them as
strong marine defences, or of constructing en
tirely new iron clad ships of war, was a Penn
sylvania invention, and that the inventor's
name was Thomas Gregg. Since then a son of
the inventor has visited our sanctum, from
whom we derived some interesting facts in
connection with this invention. Mr. Gregg
informed us that his father spent a large sum
of money in experiments on this subject, and
that after he had brought it to what he sup.
posed was perfection, he proposed that the gov
ernment should furnish a vessel, which he, the
inventor, would case in iron, and which vessel
should be tested to its fullest capacity for the
resistahce of the shot of the heaviest ordnance.
This thegavernment refused to do, its agents alledging
that the experiment would not pay, and that iron could
never supercede wood in the construction of vessels of
war. Mr. Gregg also showed us a rough model
which was lately found among his father's ef
fects. It corresponds in almost every particular
with the iron clads afloat on our rivers ; so
that all the circumstances thus growing out of
our announcement of the fact that a Pennsyl
vanian was the orgival inventor of this de
scription of war vessels, are invested with a pecu
liar interest, and may yet lead to further devel
opments on the same subject. It proves how far
the gknious of an individual may lead him in
advance of the age, and it also proves that
those who are at the head of public affairs, and
who are supposed to know all things, are as
likely to be blind to what really concerns the
interest and defence of a nation, as those who
are presumed to know nothing.
MILITARY CRITICS AND STRATEGISTS are full
of theories to account for the great activity of
the rebels in Western Virginia. That they are
much stronger in front of our lines than they
have been for a long time, no one doubts.
The general opinion seems to be that the rebels
are crowding back from Richmond into the
interior, and that they mean to make no great
fight before relinquishing their capital. The
latest unofficial news received points that
way, though it is claimed iu Washington city,
that General McClellan still expected a great
battle for the possession of Richmond.
LIEUTENANT WORDEN, of the Monitor, can at
present see with only one eye, but he can see
more with that one than any rebel commodore,
capiain, or lieutenant can see with a pair. The
Louisville Democrat says that if the rebels see
him coming with one eye shut, they wilt be
sure to run, thinking he is taking aim at
them.

All Quiet at Williamsport.
OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE ATTACK

Private accounts from Martinsburg represent
that only a few rebel scouts arrived in town
yesterday, and shortly after retired without
doing any damage to the town. The indica

SECOND DISPATCH
WAIMINGITON, May 27
By dispatches received at the War Department
we learn that affairs arc quiet at Harpers'
Ferry itnd its vicinity.
A message from Gen. Banks, dated 1 o'clock
this morning, says Capt. Collis, of the Zouaves
d'Afrique, has brought his command into Han
cock, having had but two killed.
A later dispatch from Gen. Banks says, all
is quiet at Williamsport.
Official Report of General Banks.
WASHINGTON, May 26.—The following was
received at the War Department at H o'clock
to-night :
WILLIAMSPORT, May 26-4 P. M
To the President:—l have the honor to report
the safe arrival of my command last evening at
this place at 10 o'clock, and the passage of the
Fifth Corps across the river today with com
paratively but little loss.
The loss of men killed, wounded and missing
in the different combats in which my command
has participated since the march from Stras
burg, on the morning of the 24th instant, I am
unable now to report, but I have great gratifi.
cation in being able to represent that, although
serious, it is much less than might have been
anticipated, considering the great disparity of
the forces engaged, and the long matured plans
of the enemy, which aimed at nothing leas
than the entire capture of our force.
A detailed statement will be forwarded as
soon as possible.
My command encountered the enemy in a
constant succession of attacks, and in the well
contested engagements at Strasburg, Middle
town, Newton, at a point also between these
places and at Winchester, the force of the en
emy was estimated at about 15,000 men, with
very strong artillery and cavalry supports,
while my own force consisted of two brigades, less
than 4000 strong all told, 15,000 cavalry, 10
Parrott guns and 6 smooth bores.
The substantial .preservatioo of the entire
supply train is a source of gratification. It
numbered about five hundred wagons. On a
forced march of fifty-thrrie miles, thirty-five of
which were performed in one day, subject to
constant attack in front rear and flank, accord
ing to its position, by the enemy in full force,
notwithstanding the panic of teamsters and the
mischances of a river passage of more than
three hundred yards, with slender preparations
for ford and ferry, and more than fifty wagons
were lost.
A full statement of this loss will be for
warded forthwith.
Very great commendation is due to Capt. E
G. Hollabird, A. Q. M., and Capt. E. G. Beck
with, for the safety of the train.
Our troops are in good spirits, and*occupy
both sides uf the river.

Fredericksburg.
FREDERICKSBURG, VA., May 26, 1862
A reconnoissance in force was made this morn
ing ten miles on the Bowling Green telegraph
and plank-roads by Gen. McDowell, accompa
nied by the Harris Light Cavalry, Major Daffie
in command. A battalion of ther Ist Pennsyl
vania, Major Richards, also went out the plank
road fifteen miles from Fredericksburg, and at
that point were told by Union men that no
Rebel soldiers could be found within thirty
miles if we searched the country with blood
hounds. The poor white people were rejoiced
to see us, and cursed the Rebel leaders gener
ally, and particularly one Capt. Hare, a notori •
ous horse•thief and libertine, with the most
forcible language at their command.
The wealthy planters have all left for Rich
mond, and their dwellings are now used as
headquarters for our officers. The entire army
are in splendid spirits, and are eager to over
take the enemy.
The railroad bridge across the Massassonas,
which was burned last .Saturday has been re
built, and trains are now moving to the next
stream with timber to build the next bridge.—
Telegraph lines have been put up to-day as far
as Massassonas bridge, ten miles from Fred
ericksburg, and to-morrow will be ready for
operation. Gm. Reynolds has been appointed
military governor of Fredericksburg.
FROM FORTRESS MONROE
ADVICES FROM THE FLEET
No Attack on the Rebel Fortifications
below Richmond made yet.
The Inhabitants of City Point forced
to move to Petersburg.
NO DISPATCAIIES FROM NORFOLK.
FORTRESS MONROE, May 26
Advices from our fleet at City Point, James
river, received last night, state that no new
attack had yet been made upon the rebel forti
fications below Richmond.
One of the men on the gunboat Port Royal
was wounded in the thigh, on Saturday, by a
rifle shot from the shore, while, while on the
look-out in the foretop.
The enemy's sharp shooters make it danger
ous from one vessel to another, and their balls
frequently strike their sides.
All the inhabitants of City Point have been
forced to move to Petersburg, and into the in
terior by the rebels.
No &spathes were received from Norfolk to
day.
FROM WASHINGTON.
The Exhumation of deceased Soldiers
Prohibited,
The Mexican Difficulties with England
Amicably Settled.
Notice is given by the War Department that
the further exhumation of the bodh- .)f deceased
soldiers, in cases where public me .us of trans
portation would have to be relied ou, cannot
be permitted, and has been prohibited.
A gentleman who has just arrived here .on
official business from the city of Mexico, having
left there on the sth inst., reports that towards
the latter part of last month the British
minister, Sir Charles Wyke, concluded a
treaty at Puebla with Senor Doblando, by
which all difficulties with the English were
amicably settled, and had it not been for the
sudden action of the French a treaty with
Spain would have been concluded also by Senor.
Doblando and Gen. Prim. The latter person
left, however, the shores of Mexico on good
terms with the Juarez Government, and a min
ister will be sent to Madrid to arrange satisfac
torily all matters in dispute.
The President of the United States, in a reply
to a resolution of the House of Representatives
asking, if not incompatible with the public in
terests, to be furnished with copies of such cor
respondence as may have been received since
the late message relative to the condition of
affairs in Mexico and tho breaking np of the
treaty with the latter by allied powers, says it
is not deemed expedient to comply with the re
quest today.
The National Intelligencer of to-day, referring
to the representations, `-`that the insurgents
again menace the National Capital," says that
besides creating a false alarm they are unjust
to the military dispositions the Government
has made for the protection of this city,
while their only effect abroad can be to
produce a fictitious impression more compli
mentary to the military strength of the
insurgents than the facts of the case can
be held to warrant. The absurd rumors
which find currency among idlers, quid nurses
and secession sympathizers have not disturbed
the equanimity of the people of Washington.
BALTIMORE, May 27
Expedition up the Ohowan River

The Rebel Steamer Alice Captured.
WARIINGTON, Slay 26.
From the Navy Department, the following
items are gathered:
The United States steamer Shawsheen, with
one company of the Ninth New York Regi
ment, on the 9th inst., proceeded up the Chowan
river, North Carolina, to Gates county, and
destroyed $50,000 worth of bacon, corn, lard,
fish, &o , belonging to the Confederate Govern
ment,
Thy warehouse containing it was fired. As
thelparty were returning to the boat they were
fired upon by thirty rebel cavalry, but suc
ceeded in driving them off, killing the rebel
leader.
On the night of the 12th inst., a party under
Lieutenant Flusser of the Commodore Perry,
went on shore six miles above Elizabeth City
and three miles into the country, and recov
ered the White Point Light House apparatus.
To prevent the information of the movement
being conveyed to some rebel cavalry in the
neighborhood, all the men found on the route
were retained until everything had been con
veyed to one of the boats, which was done by
soma rebel teams pressed into the service.
On the 14th, the U. S. steamer Ceres and
Lockwood, pursued the rebel st-amer Alice up
Roanoke river, and captured her about two
miles below Williamsburg, She had on board
bacon for the rebel army, and the church bells
of Plymouth, which were to be cast into tield
pieces. At Plymouth the Commodore Perry
found the lantern from the light-boat at the
mouth of Roanoke river. It was concealed in
the Custom House.
All is quiet here this morning. A large force
of police is stationed along Baltimore street and
other localities to - prevent turbulent gatherings.
