THE RADICALS ON THE NIAE.
From the beginning of the rebellion
until the close of the last Congress it was
palpably apparent that the only interest
felt by the radicals in the prosecution of
hostilities was confined exclusively to the
freedom of the slaves. It is true that these
partisans in Congress voted, with but two
exceptions, for a resolution offered by Mr.
Crittenden, declaring the purpose of the
Government to be simply the restoration
of the Union ; but soon after it became
evident that they bad no such intention,
and at the late session this same resolution
was offered by the Union side of the House
and defeated by the very votes which pass
ed it before. Those men aro therefore
upon the record, declaring that this war is
not for the restoration of the Union. All
the abuse of General Scott twelve months
ago was because he wouldn'tyield to Abo
lition exactions I and all their slander of
McClellan, and the persistent efforts to
remove him, are in consequence of his
faithfully adhering to the cause of his
country. Had he, like Fremont or John
Cochrane, made a fussy or useless procla
mation or speechfavoringernancipation, he,
like they, would have become immediately
one of their leading champions. He has
resisted the schemes of the radicals. and
hence their persistent abuse of him.
—But this Abolition opposition to the
Government is growing more defiant every
day. The . President has told the country
'how it is pressing him; end even now it is
reported that they have driven him so far
from the path" at first marked out for the
conduct of the war, as to compel the Sec
retary of State to protest against. further
departure. But the Abolitionists are not I
yet satisfied : the President did not, in his
late order. pronounce emancipation, end 1
this onusetee has aroused Abolition ven
geance. Hear the chief organ of the radi
cals, the Tribune. It says :
"If this is all that is to be done by the
government in obedience to the confisca
tion-emancipation act, then the Union
. cause will have been fatally wounded in
the house or its fnends. Yo equivocating.
Itiggliug,,hair splitting, hang hack policy
will now save it. Unlese the slaves aro
given to untic , r,:tanti—aud that speedily—
that-the Union wants their service •4 enough
to give them libersy there:er, then the re
bellion can never be put down. This
country is very strong; but it is net stroll ? :

es of those rebels.
"We speak plainly, for in this cries
were treason to be silent or nothigu,u,!-.
Unless the slaves are afforded ample nod
palpable inducements for quitting the ser•
vice of the rebels and embarking in that. of
the Union, the great mass of them will
continue to serre their masters while the
latter destroy the nation. And this order
does not supply the slaves generally of re
bels with an adequate reason for braving
peril, privation, end death, by a speedy
Bight from the house of bondage to the
sheltering folds of the Flag of the Free.
"Of course, we do notknow that the I
President wilt stop here. We trust he
will not. Yet the appearance of this i
order would seem to indicate that uotbing 1
further is contemplated. If that he the
feet, we sadly feel that the nation in •nn
done."
The Washi• gton correspondent of the
New York Evening roe, alluding to the
order refered to, says:
"The order of the War Department
respecting the seizure of rebel property
is certain Statesand the useof negro labor
is regarded here as a compromise be
tween the radical Republicans and the
border State . men. The Kentucky politi
ciao, acquiesce in the new order, and are
willing that the negro should be used as a
laborer, if the President will agree not to
arm him. Mr. Mallory stated this in the
House."
But it appears that the radicals are by no
means disposed to yield to this compromise.
The Tribunedeclares that adherence to it
will undo the nation ; and the Evening
Post air - no less decided ih its opposition.
The Post is the ablest and mostinfluential
of the radical Teem, and its utterances are
therefore regarded with great significance.
On Wednesday it contained a heavy leader,
condemning the Administration for not
freeing the slaves, and in Thursday's is-
sue it had another bitter article, calculated,
if not intended, to weaken public opinion
in our ability to conquerthe rebels. Read
the following paragraph
"The repulses we have suffered on the
Peninsula, it must be admitted, have been
very serious; our noblest army, composed
of the flower of the North, and led by the
most experienced generals, has been driv
en from its positions, and is now ceoped
up on the James river, unable to move
until it 413,11 be reinforced. or the obser
vation of the enemy diverted by a coun
ter•assanit in some other quarter. It is a
humiliating Fact. The war has been greatly
protracted by it, and our exhausted finan
ces still further diaturbed. But the worst
effect has been that we have lost much-of
our reliance in oar military chiefs and in
our civic rulers. The most devoted friends
of McClellan now pronounce him &failure,
and even the sagacity and wisdom of Mr.
Lincoln is queitioued. There has been
inch an apparent Avant of foresight and
energy in Ile Administration, and there is
still such an apparent reluctance, to strike
earnest and decisive blows, that the most
buoyant natures begin to despair and
tremble."
We infer from the course of these two
leading journals that he radicals are about
to commence open hostilities against the
Administration. They will drive the Prey
idiot into their designs, or they will do all
in their power to cripple and oppose him.
Unless the war promises the destruction of
slavery, these radicals will oppose - its tar
ther prosecution; and three months may,
therefore, find them loud in their demands
for a cessation n! ltn;tililte:i

Union.
Our present position is oue of perfect
+ safety, though we are at present not pre
tending to be investing Richmond, but
only recruiting for an early, irresistible
move in that quarter. Our line of battle
is only between five and six miles long,
instead of sixteen, as it was on the Chick
ahominy, thug making it more compact,
and with the assistance of our breast
works, impregnable. The left flank rests,
I believe, on the James river, and the
right flank is, as well as most of the right
wing, protected by almost impassable
swamps. The river above Harrison's
lauding takes en Eastward turn, so that
our gunboats could command the entire
rear of the enemy should he be so pre
sumptuous as to attack us.
In the late week of fearful battles, Penn
sylvania troops have done the old Key
stone State the highest credit. Our own
—the 68d--commanded by the well-known
soldier and warrior, Col. Alexander Hays,
is in for its full share. But I prefer let
ting others ; disinterested and high in com
mand, speak for us.
In the battle of the 80th, called Wilson's
Farm, we were assigned to the support of
Thompson's battery, of oar (Kearney's)
division, and during the fight we made
three desperate charges upon the enemy,
who made fierce efforts to capture the bat
tery, in the last of which we caused them
to skedaddle, severely punished. Our loss
was one hundred and twenty-five, in
killed, wounded, and taissing—not as
heai7 as at Fair Oaks.

was 'so seriously wounded in the right arm
that it had to be amputated. He is prob

Oaks battle, was slightly disabled by be

What it Costs.
Putting down the Slaveholder's Rebel
lion is every expensive as well as bloody
business. Congress, at its recent session,
passed bills which, in the aggregate, ap
propriated out of the Treasury the sum of
$9lB, 078,527 63. At the Extra Session,
last Summer, Congress appropriated
5285,103,296 99. The total amount,
therefore, for the two sessions reaches the
enormous sum of $1.178,181,824 62.—.
Nearly all of this vast outlay was rendered
necessary by the rebellion. At the recent
session, the Army bill alone appropriated
within a fraction of $556,000,000—an
amount larger, no doubt, than was ever
before embraced in one law or decree of
any Government on earth. Look at the
aggregate of the two sessions—eleven
hundred and seventy-eight millions, one
hundred and eighty-one thousand, eight
hundred and twenty-four dollars and sixty
two cents—and tell us if the work of
crushing out this "irregular opposition"
to the National Government, which "our
misguided Southern bretbern" have or
enised, will not only make them expen
sive relatives to their cotemporaries, but
cause their memories to be very civzr t
posterity ?

The fighting before Richmond was
eagerly canvas9ed. Some of the jollrlialS
regard it llc a great rt•VITSP for the North,
and re”roach the Coited States Govern

Others contend that Gen. M'Clellan has
ustaiu •d no serious disaster, and is indeed
practically nearer to Richmond, and may
congratulate himself on the greatest and
most successful operation of the war.—
Hopes arc freely expressed that more
pacific councils will soon prevail at Wash

The London Times is particularly bitter
and sarcastic in its comments. It treats
t Ito matter as it decided rebel victory. It
thinks that there are good evidences in the
North that the beginning of the end is not.

In another article the Times denounces
the insolence of Gen. Butler, in his inter
course with the foreign consuls, and say
that this is not the war to conciliate neu
trals and superiors, and he should consider
whether he is not doing more harm than
good to the, Federal cause.
The Morning Post says that affairs are
approaching the crisis which will necessi
tate some decided course on the part of
the Federals. Neutrals cannot ranch lon
ger remain passive spectators. The great
question is when shall the South be consid

initiative.and sail with the current which it
cannot stem. the neutral States might be
saved the disagreeable necessity of dis
ch rgin 2 a most disagreeable duty.
The Daih' News points out what would

like the North. and argues that secession
will be crushed out at nil hazards.
The proceedings of Parliament were un
important. In the Rouse of Commons
Mr. Fuerster pi - ye notice that when Mr.

LITTLIE WARREN, RAPPAHANNOCK CO.,
Va., July 23.—The report recently tele•
graphed from Warrenton, that Jackson
was at or near Gordonsville, is confirmed
from other sources, which state that he is
at Louisa Court House, with 24,000 men,
and Ewell, with a corps of Jackson's eon, -
mend, is at Gordonsville, making a total
of 30,000 men. His present intention is
said to be to assume the offensive, and
break our lines, and if successful, to dem-.
onstrate upon Washington, for the pur
pose of drawing off our forces from Rich
mond.
As many misstatements have been pub
lished in regard to the expedition com
manded by General Hatch, it may not be
inappropriate to make the following state
ments, as given by a returned officer.
After reaching Culpepper, Gen. Hatch
pushed his whole force to Rapidan,where,
in consequence of the destruction of the
bridges and the high state of the water, he
was compelled to leave his infantry and
artillery. 'With his cavalry he pushed on
to Orange Court House, where he learned
that the enemy were in large force at Gor
donsville. He sent thence a company of
the Virginia Cavalry towards Gordonsville.
who approached within six miles of the
latter place, and confirmed the report of
the enemy's presence and strength. it e
Friday, the 18th, two brigades, supposed
to be 2ommand. - 2(1 by Ewell, made their
appearance at Orange, and on gaturday.
atter sever: skirmishing, Gen. Hatch fell
bark and crossed the Rapidan, and arrived
at Culpepper on Sunday. During this
time 2s men of vompany A, New York
Cavalry were captured by the enemy, ow
ing, it is said, to the commanding officer,
who did not believe a statement that the
enemy were advancing in force upon his
station. Two or three men. whose horses
were saddled, made their escape after re
turning to Culpepper. Gen. Hatch made
another incursion into Madison, and thence
northward to Sperryville, ascertaining that
the enemy were not in force in that. sec
tion, and that Jackson is in great force at
Louisa and Gordonsville beyond doubt.
and that, he intends to attack is believed.
(ten. Pope's forces here have no olier
' tion, but rather a desire that he will 'unlite
the attempt.
11EADeeAnTERS oP THE ARMY oF THE I
POTOAIAC, July 24th,
The rebel officers who brought tie- last
flag of truce stated that Capt. Biddle. of
Gen. McClellan's staff, was not Lili',l in
! the late battles, but died at Riehm end on
Sunday last. The health of our troops is
rapidly improving.
fhe Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
Mr. Boutwell, with the approval of the
Secretary of the Treasury, in order that,
the act of Congress of 17111 July last, may
be carried into effect more speedily, to
das submitted the following propositions
for the consideration of the Postmaster-
Ccneral, who has con , idered and adopted
them—namely :
Ist. That the Post-oltiee Department
furnish the Treasury Department with
such postage•stamps as may be needed for
currency, that department paying to the
Post -ottice Itepartment the net cost t hereof.
2d. That the arrangement cease at the
option of either p limy, or when the Treas
ury Department is prepared to issue its
own stamps as Currency.
:;(1. The stamps to 1t so prepared that
they can be distinguished easily from the
ordinary postage-stamps.
tth. The stamps to be redeemed by
the Treasury Department, as contemplated
by the act of July 17, Irr'.
:,th. Such stamps to be received by the
Postotlice Department for postage, and to
be at all times exchangeable for ordinary
postage stamps. Arrangements will im
mediately be made to carry the above pro
positions into effect.
PourttEss llnsane. duly :N.- -The
steamship Daniel Webster. Capt. Blether,
from New York, reached Fortress Mon
-1 roe last evening, on her way to Harrison's
Landing, loaded with vegetables for the
army—an article they have been suffering
for for a long time. The flag of truce
boat Cazionicas went up the James river
yesterday morning and returned early this
morning to Fortress 51onrre, where she
only remained ten minutes and steamed
off in the direction of York river. The
steamers 0. 0. Spaulding and Knicker
bocker arrived at Fortress Monroe last
evening with COO Union prisoners from
Richmond. The Knickerbocker goes to
Philadelphia and the Spaulding to New
York. They will both leave here this
morning for their respective destinations.
The sailing vessels, schooners, &c.. which
have been laying up the James river, for
some time near the James Island, have
within a few days dropped down the river
and anchored in the Roads just. above
Fortress Monroe. I have not ascertained
the cause of this move. Large Union
forces of artillery are reinforcing those '
already at Yorktown.
WasulkoTos, July 4 '.—Aldermen Far
oly and Mitchell and Councilmen Pinckney,
.lones, Hogan, and Beech to-day had an
exceedingly agreeable interview with the
President and. Secretary of War,. relative
t o the receiving of volunteers and payment
of bounty. The committee were assured
that arrangements would at once be made,
and have a suitable person at the City of
New York to pay the bounty, &c., at the
time of recruits passing medical examina
tion or immediately thereafter. Among
other matters considered was the Mawr
tance of filling up regiments in the
field, to which object the committee urgent
ly pressed the Secretary's attention.
The committee believed the enlistment
fee should be doubled, making it four
lars, for joining the regiments now in the
field.
Among the items of interest to Yew
York, Secretary Stanton stated that, hav
ing decided upon an exchange of pris.on
ers Col. Corcoran will probably be in
New. York within ten days.
This visit of the committee will doubt
less be productive of much good to the
volunteers from New York, as they have
diligently discharged their duty.
An official list will be prepared of all
soldiers absent without leave, which will
be of great service to the authorities of
New York, in controlling the payment of
relief funds.
