There has been some controversy re,l ative to the reply of the . New York Democratic Committee to the Repub lican Committee, on invitation to unite Conventions. We publish below the reply of Dean Richmond, as chair man : GENTS: The resolutions communicated to us by you had been duly considered by our committee, who have directed us to re ply thereto. None can be more profound ly impressed than we are with a sense of the duty of the foregoing of partizan views and purposes in the present critical condition of our unhappy country. The Democratic party has, in every crisis of public danger, risen to the magnitude of the occasion and devOted its energies and its sacrifices to the call of patriotism. It will not be less faithful to the duties of citizenship now, when the perils which menace us equal, if they do not exceed, those which surrounded us in the war of independence and in the formation of the Constitution. As to the spirit in which Democrats are disposed to meet the emer gency, we point to the hundreds or thou sands of our brethren who took arms at the first warning, and to the readiness with which . they have offered their means to the country. You suggest a conference of political conventions for the nomination of State officers, as a mode apparently of uniting the people in support of the country. That I I it would bp well, at this time, to fill the 1 leading public officer, especially in the Federal:government, to which the conduct of public affairs belongs, with men whose purity of character and capacity for ad. minietrative labors were so well known as to command the confidence of the people , _ is most true; as it is also probable that ft this example were set in the conduct of Federa affairs, it would be followed by the people in the selection of their State oftl leen. Bat we would be false to the party which we represent, if we considered any i proposition of union with former political opponents, except upon the basis of princi ple. It is of little importance what men of what party occupy public positions, whether of power or emolument; but it is of the utmost moment teat citizens of com mon principles should unite at this time in support of the government, and in the vindication of the Constitution and the Union. We believe we utter the senti ments of all Democrats when we say that they are ready to unite in political action with every citizen who looks to the presort, vation of the Constitution and the perpeta nation of the Union as the great end to be arrived at, and who estimate all measures, whether of war or peace, only as they con. duce to that end; who are opposed to any war and equality to any peace, which is 'based upon the idea of the separation of these states; while they hold that the war can only be successfully prosecuted by more vigorous command in the field and effici. ency in the national blockade, they regard it as the duty of the federal government at all times to hold out terms of peace and accommodation to the dissevered states— that as our political system was founded in compromise, and has been so perpetuated, it can never be dishonorable in any ad• ministration to seek to restore it by the SSMO means. Above all, they repel the idea that there exists between the two sections of the Union, sueh an incompatibility of iustitn. tions as to give rise to an irrepressible con flict between them, which can only termi nate in the subjugation of one or the other. Repelling the doctrine tbat any state can i rightfully secede from this Union, they I hoed next in- abhorrence that aggressive, and fanatical sectional policy, which has so largely contributed to the present den• ger of the country. They propose, therefore, to invite to union with them, all citizens, of whatever party, who, believing in these views, will act with them to seem- e honest administration in Federal and State affairs, a rigid mainte nance of the Constitution, economy in public expenditures, honesty in the award of contracts, justice to the soldier in the field and the tax-payer at home, tbe'rigid safeguard of public credit, and the ex pulsion of corrupt men from public offi pri ce. 1 As such union must necessarily spring I from the people, instead of being dictated to them, we are instructed by our com mittee to say,that in issuing the call .fbr the usual Democratic State Convention, they will invite all gocd citizens who are willing to co-operate with the Democrats to these -ends, to come together at the primary meetings, and unite in selecting representatives to a State Convention, to nominate candidates upon this platform of patriotism. We have the honor to be, &e., Very respectfully yours, , DEAN RICRhiOND, . --- P. CAoonß., Secretary. Chairman , 4EOO. I ---- - General Ileelellane Few persons in 'Washington know this man by eye-sight, , brithe is the stronghold in whichall hearts assemble, Me never reviews regiments on es r go through their quarters thr ice in forty-eight hours—and at the expiration of that time they are grumbling because he has never given them a sight of him. Perhaps he dances badly. He is not a brilliant object in saloons. He might be likely' to break raw on a Jorge scale if asked to hold them daring the waltzes. He dots not blossom in stars and shoulder straps. Bat if you happen to be stopping to per spire under the shadow of a broad white oak on the road between the Potomac tete. du pont and Arlington House, you may see a man about the size of our gallant color-rescuer Stedman, with a significant high-bridged nose, keen blue grey eyes, mouth not unlike that, of a generous mas tiff, who bites on no small provocation, but when he does, bites immediately, and leaves a souvenir. Clad in a blue blouse— like that of a Parisian carpenter--and pan taloons which might have been any color before the owed soil in pulverized form Was half an inch deep on them; you may see this man, I say, rushing his horse through a blond 'of dust, and an aide-de-carap put , ng twenty rods behind him, in the vain endeavor to keep up with the rider who, to quote his acquaintances, "rides like the devil." As he pills his 'brown mustache to wipe away the honest satat of a man in earnest, he may turn his face towards you —be sure he will see you, at any rate, for there is nothing he does not see—and you will have a glimpse of Qeorge B. McClel lan. In the first place, be the fact morally de 'tensible or not, the effect of anew name is wonderful in this world. Stilt more so, a new name which is synonymous with in" variable success. Then, again, men like the incognito under which McClellan trav els—all the more as it is not wawa!, but inevitable from the necessities of his char acter. .It is impossible to imagine a Mc- Clellan done in pipe clay. He cannot, in nature, sit for his statue, to any other artist than a worker in granite. He knows Very well what we boys use to *now at bearding-school, when the prin. , cipal on examination day got up a Aakpritducntydirtneri and put the young.

He will have nobody "gotten up" to receive him. He wants the habitual condition of the hoys—r not their holiday sham appearance. Hence that blouse, that unheralded approach to camps who have no idea of his personnel, who supposes they see a sapper and mine; eccentrically on horseback, or at theffirtb eat one of the Sturgis Rifles, who are Mo. Clallan's body guard, and so devoted to him that they would go this day to ,liati asses behind him, an unsupported corps. The fact of McClallan's having brigaded the army has now become an old tale to the public. He unostentatiously goes on after the same method with that great body of troops who are constantly arriving. But for the implied paroleof honor above mentioned, I should like to state the exact numeral amount of the work enjoined upon him by the necessities of this method as applied to the vast inpouring. It is only possible to'say that nothing on so gigantic a scale in the shape of military disposition has ever been demanded of a man on this continent—scarcely on the European. And though the fact of this new arrangement be now well known, its results are to be' immeasearble. For the knowledge of their field officers, by sight, and still more by personal confidence—the position of the right field officers over any given body—the discipline of the brigade as distinguished from that of the isolated regiment—these desideratas are of the ut most importance in our future advance. We may add, that it is the conviction of some of the ablest commanders with whom our editoral delegation consulted in Wash ington, that these would have made Bull Bun a victory after as well as before three o'clock p. m., of July 21st. Washington, since McClellan, is nq, longer a field or target.shooting, with an after pic-nic under the marque of Wil• lard's and Brown's. It is now possible to reach the door from the clerk's desk or bar of either without elbowing epaulettes or: getting tangled in dress-swords. Let not , these words be thought to indicate a de moralization of the army before McClellan came. Up to that day we had heard the sermon of Bull Biri in eloquent cannon" voice, but the flat of the preacher bad not come down on the desk in personal appli* cation. We said: "The panic happened equally to the French after Solferino; it was only a chance; it may never happen again." 83 we teek our cobblers at Willard's when we should have been in our camps on the hills, moralizing over the straw at mid night about "remarkable Frovidences," forgetting that our soldiers needed an eye to their comfort and discipline, if that eye would be their talisman and inspirer of victory. McClellan came and said, not "there may be," but "there shall be" no more panic. And he has taken the moans. lie has made the officer as re• sponsible for the men as the mon to the officer. Without hts pass, neither bards nor stars can junket at midnight. But a night or two ago a sergeant approached a gentle man high in military rank, taking his Hock and soda at the spout of the little drug store under Willard's. He asked him for his pass and received indignant answer that he was addressing an officer. "My instructions," said the sergeant, " are to see you to your quarters." " I give you my word of honor that I will go there," replied the officer. " I am obliged, sir," replied the sergeant, "to give you my word of honor that I will see you there." And hey marched away together.—Correcpow• le-nre Pcst. The Scottish Descent of our Generals. 11.CLELLAIY AND 111‘ DOW ELL DECENDHD FROM UALLOWAY ill EFTA INS. Mr. William Noabitt, of Now York, communicatea tho following interesting atatements to the Se.:lli,ll ilwer;call Jull7 , nat: "By accounts I have lately received from Kirkcudbright— my native place—l learn that General McClellan is a descen dant of a very ancient and illustrious Galloway family—the Meek:liana of Kirk cudbright and Bumble, allied to the ancient 'Knights of Lochinvan.' The temtly ware ennobled by Charles I, in the then representative, Sir Robert McClellan of Bombio, being created a peer under the title of Lord Kirkcudbright. The last lord of that name died about thirty years ago, in rather reduced circumstances, leav ing no issue. The title is nuw extinct.— The ruins of the old family castle now form the most conspicuous object in the ancient burg of Kirkcudbright, on the banks of the river Dee. Many of the deeds of the McClellana are still recounted in the legendary lord ertlig, district. The name of McClellan has beon always' associated with all that is noble, patiiotio and daring, and I am proud to think that in the per son of the worthy American scion it is still so. Sir William McClellan, an ancestor of the above family, also fell at Flodden." In point of fact, Camden Grey McClel lan, tenth Baron Kirkcudbright, in the peerage of Scotland, died in 1832, when, for want of a male heir, the title became extinct. His widow survives. She was a daughter of the late Colonel Thomas Gorges. Lord Kirkcudbright loft an only daughter, Camden Elizabeth, who was married in 1832, shortly before her father's death, to James Staunton Lambert, who also survives. Mr. Nesbitt adds: Ganeral McD3well, believe, is also a decendant of another re nowned race of potent Galwegisn chiefs taint, the McDowells of Logan and Garth land; an ancustor, Charles MoDowell, of Logan, having fallen bravely fighting at the head of his clan, at the fatal battle of Flodden Field, in 1513. The name is said to be synonymous with Dowgall, Donegal, ' Donald, and McDougall. They have been a leading family in western Galloway from time immemorial; and like many other ancient Scottish families, their name and origin are hidden is the night of anti quity." Loki) Join; RUSSELL—or, as he is now to be called, Earl Russell—has recently pronounced his farewell speech as a coin. moner. The London Times honors him with an editorial written in its cleverest style, beginning as follows: Lord John Russell yesterday took leave of the city he had represented twenty years, and the Rouse of Commons, of which he had been a leading member forty4oven. It may seem to many but the other day that he surprised his aristo cratic friends by accepting the more recent of these obligations, but it takes an odd 1 man to remember with any sharpness of recollection the commencement of the ear. lier. An illustrious career of nearly half a century was yesterday so far concluded that it remains to be seen whether Earl Russell will.be more than the monument of Lord John. Neene can tell how it will fare with a great man's influence when he is raised to that thin upper atmosphere and those realms of silence.

The Rebels Responsible for the Slave Trade. The telegraphic despatches by the Europa misrepresented Lord Palmer. ston l , whose late parliamentary speech upon the subject of, the African slave trade did not kw the onus of treaty viola tioniipon the United States in its cor porate capacity, but upon the influences operating in government quarters which have now unmasked themselves in the shape of open rebellion. We subjoin so much of this speech as refers to our American action : "There are t owe Portuguese ship ments from the east coast of Africa, but the trade is mainly carried on under the American flag. Lately there has been some little amount of slavery car ried on under the French flag, but not to any great extent. We have been constantly remonstrating with the Amer ican government against that prostitu tion of their flag. In one piece of cor respondence I told them that a piece of bunting ought not to be a national pass port. They took offence at that and said I had insulted their flag. It was not the expression that nettled them, but the reproach that their flag was proeti tutod to base purposes. We tried to persuade them to grant a mutual right of search, but we were unsuccessful. We tried other plans, and at lad we proposed to Mr. Buchanan that English and American cruizers •should sail in company, and when any ship under the Amerman flag should be taken with slaves on board she should be prize to the American cruiser, and treated according to the American law ; but when a ship was taken without a flag or papers with slaves on board she should be prize to the British cruiser, and be subject to our law. That proposal seemed too well calculated to accom plish its purpose to be accepted by the American government, and- accordingly it was declined. The honorable mem ber from Galway says that now that the North and the South are at variance is the time to get the assistance of the North against the South. It is true that at the time of the disruption of the Union—if we may assume it to have taken plane—or before this civil contest broke out, it was the influence of the South which prevailed at Washington —[hear, hear]—and prevented the gov ernment there from accepting any of the offers we made for the purpose of enlisting the support' of the United States government in the execution of their treaty engagements. There is a treaty engagement by which they are bound to cooperate with us for the sup pression of the slave trade. For a time they sent one or two small vessels to the coast of Africa, and lately they have in creased the number. But this I have ob strved, that when an American cruiser is commanded by a captain from the South, no effective assistance whatever is given for the suppression of the slave trade [Hear.] The Southern captain shuts his eyes to what is going on and runs off to Madeira for supplies of water ; but the cruisers commanded by captains from the North do give us very effective and vigilant co-operation. [Hear.] That would lead to the hope, no doubt, that. if the course of events should give to the North a more sovereign existence, possibly the spirit of the North would prevail over the influence which has hitherto euntrolled them, and although must of the cruisers were fitted out at New York and Bostor, and, perhaps, with capital from the North, yet it was the spirit of the South which animated bee expeditions. ObEervalloos on Storms. 1. The Atlantic ocean is the source of nearly all the rains that visit this part of the country. The moisture collected from the great lakes is small in quantity, travels but a short distance, and usually falls to the northward of this parallel. The Gulf of Mexico sheds its vapors on the great western valley. From the northern ocean and the rivers flowing into it hardly any moisture is evaporated. 2. The heated air descending from the surface of the Atlantic, especially fr)m the Gulf Stream, is wafted over the land, by winds which usually blow at a right angle to the general coast line. 3. No rain storms are experienee4.l,or even heavy showers, after the wind has been blowing steadily from the northwest, this being a dry current, and absorbing instead of giving out moisture. 4. After hot days, during the sum mer season, the sea breezes usually set in towards evening. On reaching the mountains this ourreut comes in con- tact with a cooler one from the oppo site direction, when there is apt to be a thunder shower followed by the ordi nary northwester. The storm nopurs along the line of collision between those opposing currents, and of course travels in the direction of the ocean. 5. When a southeaster has prevail ed for a time at any season, it is reason able to expect a corresponding heavy rain, as the clouds have a great quan tity of moisture to deposit. At the same time the coolness which succeed will usually be in about the same ra tio, the wet surface of the ground ab sorbing much of the calorie in the low er atmosphere. 6. The northeast storm is probably in every ease caused by one of those circular storms, termed "Cyclonei," whose centre is some distance to the eastward. In such a case the storm travels from southward to northeast, or in the contrary direction to that in which we Teel the breeze blowing. If accurate observations were made as to the changes in the wind, the centre of the tempest might be calculated with tolerable accuracy. In proportion to the length of time and the strength and coldness of current, the storm will be more or less severe. A correspon dent, who has long made this subject a study,. remarks that the northeasters are seldom experienced west of the Al leghasties. 7. Itis remarkable that on this side of those mouotikizt" storms searOel, ever blow fram 'any -of the Cardinal points of the compass.

The ford above the bridge is also guarded, whether with artillery or not is no t positively known, but every indication favors the lielief that he proposes to defend the passage oP the stream. "It is intended to turn the position, force the enemy from the road, that it may be re-opened, and, if possible, do atroy the railroad leading from Manas• sas to the valley of Virginia, where the enemy lies a large force. As this may be resisted by all the force of the ene my, the troops will be disposed as fol lows : "The First division, General Tyler's, with the exception of Richardson's brigade, will, at half-past two o'clock in the morning precisely, be on the War renton bridge, but will not open fire until daybreak. "The Second division,(Hunter's) will move from its camp at two o'clock in the morning precisely, and led by Cap tain Woodbury, of the Engineers, will, after passing Club Run, turn to the right and pass the Bull Run stream above the ford at Sndley's Spring, and then turning down to the left, descend the stream and clear away the enemy who may be guarding the lower ford and bridge. It will then bear off to the right and make room for the succeeding division. "The Third division (I.leintzelman's) will march at half past two o'clock in the morning, and follow the road taken by the Second division, but will cross at the lower ford after it has been turned as above, and then, going to the left, take place betweeen the stream and Second division. "The Fifth division (Miles's) will take position on the Centreville Heights (Richardson's brigade, will, for the time, form part of the Fifth di vision, and will continue in its present posi tion.) One brigade will be in the vil lage, and one near the present station of Richardson's brigade. This divigon will threaten the Blackburn ford, and remain in reserve at Centreville. The commander will open tire with artillery I only, and will bear in mind that it is a demonstration only he is to make. He will cause such defensive works, abatis, earthworks, &c., to be thrown up as will strengthen his position. Lieutenant Prime, of the Engieeers,will be charged with this duty.

[Oorrespoadeace of the Charleston Mercury RICHMOND, Monday, July 29, 1861. Amidst the rejoicing over the victory of Stone Bridge, dissatisfaction is expressed that we did not reap the advantagea we might have reaped. Under such a thorough defeat, rout and disorganization of the National Army, it might have been driven from Virginia ; and Alexandria, Arlington, and all their intrenchments and guns on this aide of the Potomac, taken. Great as the victory has been, its results would have been incalculable could we have punned the flying and terror stricken enemy to the Long Bridge. And why was it not done ? Simply because Beauregard had not the force. Though only a part of the Army was engaged in actual battle, allbad been - on active duty the Vhole day. The combined fiqaes of Beauregard and Johnston did net exceed 86,000 men in the field. At least half of these'were engaged in the fight.
