FOURIOV ItaKHVNTIU.I.
Simultaneous!- with the arrival In Europe
of news of President Llncolo's proclamation of
September 22, thi re was a marked revival In
Ki gland of the cUmor in favor of a recognition
of the rebel", lo bo followed by active inter
vention In their favor, if recognition by Itself
sh.-nl 1 'rt 1 o ferine their independence. And
I) r 1- nu ureal difficulty In understanding
wii) the proclamation should have pioduced
bis tflect.
The pclitlcians and statesmen of Engltnd
have desired from ill' first tho tnecess of the
Southern Confederacy, but biv fl never inlen.led
to intervene to Lring it nbout, unlo-s Mich In
tervention uas necessary to (fleet tbr oh c
If tho South could secure tie own independence
at in own cost, the English preferred to avoid
the sacrifices and risks of Interference, and they
were ot least Indifferent to the length of aeon
test which was wasting the resources cf both
sictlons of n rival nation. On this view ot the
case, it was not when the rebels leemtd sue
ceseful tint danger of English Intervention ex
Istcd. If the rebels could get along upon their
own strength, they would be left to do so; but
wheu they wero pushed to the wail, and rmit
fail without foreign aid, wonld be the time lor
whalevcr relief English politicians cculd give
them, consistently with the deference always
necessary to be paid to Cnglish popular opin
ion. It is in this rense that ne interpret the new
clamor in Great llriuia for recognition, lo
which importance and dignity have been given
by the tpeecnes of a British Minister, Sir
Gladstone. 1 1 means, simply, that Englishmen
understand well that Mr. Lincoln's proclama
tion of Sept. 22 will be a death blow to th-"
rebellion, just as soon as it comes into opera
tion hy Its term". They see that something
must be dom- to save the rebels before lh
I Hal firt day of next Jinuarv. They n-e th it
tht war is to be now waged in farne.i. m ,1
they know well Init that ensures tb detru
tion ot the Kouthern Uonlederacy, units' c m
lie an-l-tid hy European bayonet i ail ir
pean navies This is why Mr Glai'sioi i- hiv
suddenly become a stump orator in Ill's -ont!,-ern
oaiw. He was ciule?t and contntl nod
silent, so long as the American wir wis lielu,r
prosecuted In a manner tending to no rulu.
But when be sees a blow about to I ill, is lilc'j
will crush the rebel", he throws asid,- th - re
erve and gravity which he is so fond ol iill.-ct
nir, and becomes an itinerant epeechmaker i i
ivor of t-e fc.onlb That in the milk in this
coconnut, and we need no better evidence oi
the efficacy of the proclamation, than this effect
which it has produced upon those in England
who have all along wished the Southern Con
federacy to become an established fact, without
their open aid, if possible, but with it, if neces
sury.
But the lime proclamation which evcttes the
British pro slavery aristocracy, to an intense
pitch of desire to intervene In favor of the
.American rebels, creates what may prove to be
an insuperable obstacle to their doing so. The
masses of the Engll-h nation are really and
bonenily anti-slavery, and tt is not to be sup
poped that they wilt be passive and acquies
cent if an intervntion Is attempted, the iffect
of uhich, If it Is fll lent at t-11 must bo to save
b ssum of neri eluvery in the United
o ii't-i That Is no not an tn'ertainment which
t ey will relish, and it is not easy to see by
hat political trickery and sophi-ticatlon they
in he reco ciled to it. Until recently, the
cti"i ot slavery with the civil war in this
itry. aaB been obscured to foreign minds.
!iu tirrc can be no mistake about it sincn the
pructam ition of September 2-. Tho National
Administration has committed Itself to the over
throw of the system In the entire region waich
iihall remain insurrectionary on the lirst d i, of
next January. That time is clone nt hind, and
if England now intervenes, it can only be with
the intent of preventing what it is foreseen.
must be the catastrophe of tbe rebellion. The
ami slavery sentiment of Great Britain may be
overborne, but will not permit this to be done
without n struggle.
Mr. Gladstone's speeches betray Ms know
ledge of tbe depth and strength of this oppo
sition to slatery among tho people of Eng
land lie attempts to avail himself of It for
his own purposes, by tho plausible sugf, tion
th it the slaves are more likely to recover their
libi'rtitB when dealing with Ihdrlniat, rs stone
in a peparated Southern Confederacy than
when kept in bondage by the double strength

when it lathe national Government Itself which

TIIK I'llKSlDKMX'S PltOCUABIATIUN
AHI TIIK COKSVIITIITIO.I.
Thoro has been much frothy declamation
and pointless diatribes upon Ibis document.
Men have reasoned upon this subject precisely
as thev would have done had Cangrese or the
President proposed this measure In the time of
peace. They have Ignored entirely the elate
ol 'he country, an. nt down to this discussion
ns though one half or the Slates or this Union
were not in rebellion, andVputllng forth nil their
strength to overthrow the Constitution and tho
Government.
The wrong education and the almost Insano
bias of many of our public men and editors In
f ivor of slavery, has led to this result It seems
almost Impossible for many persons here in
the North ever to ee that slavery Is the cause
of all our troubles as a nation. Hence, when
It Is proposed to deal with the Institution as
tbe necessities or the war and a sound policy
dictate, they set up a cry for Its constitutional
Immunities to exist unharmed. They even go
so far ns to say that we must protect slavery si.
the expense of our national life.
Wo find, in the Richmond Whlj, an article
which has bees quoted extensively in Northern
journals, from the Memphis Jluttdin, showing
up what it considers the President a wrong
doing In Issuing this proclamation. After con
siderlng tho President's Interview with the
Chicago committee, tbe Bulletin proceeds to
sy: ,
' After the President answers these obiec-
'Ions, we would like to have bis explanation of
the following resolution, passed unanimously
by Congress the 11th day of February, 1NS1 :
jtfKviutu, luni ueuu-r ionKreig, nor 'ne
eople, nor the Governments of the non-slave
Olalng States, have the rleht to legislate unnn
or Interfere with slavery In any of the nlave-
' um ,-mhips in iiib union. '
It tbed prceeeds'to quoto from the Chicago
irm, ns follows:
' Itttolced. That the maintenance. Inviolate.
of the rights of the States, and especially the'
right of each State, to order and control Its nwn
domestlo institutions according to lisown Judg
ment exclusively, Is essential to the balance of
power on which the pertectlon and endurance
of our political fabrlo depend."
Now, all this is done with flourish, as much
ns to nay, we have annihilated the President's
right to issno such n proclamation.
There has never been but one opinion in this
country, either North or South, upon this
power over slavery In the States where it ex
ists: and that has been uniformly, with very In
considerable exceptions, in perfect coincidence
with the resolution quoted nbove, passed by
Congress February 11th, 1861, and the reoln
tion c( the Chicago platform.
Nobody, fo any extent, bag eier claimed
tint, under the Constitution, in time of peace,
either the President, or Congress, or the State
Legisl itun-s of the free States, could interfere
with slavery in tho Statei where it exists. So
univernl 1 1 tbh sentiment, that even the Ameri
can Antl slavery Society has a provision in Us
n nitmion di daring and affirming this doc-
trim-. It h because tbe Constitution aflords
this protection lo slavery that Mr.Garrisouacd
Mr Phillip, with others who eympatbbe with
tVm. bavn made war upon tho Constitution,
rilling it "a covenant with death-and nn
i.. eeinent with hell." They hate never al
t. d the constitution of their society, but
It ving it to this day precisely as It was orlgl
at ndoplid,ns affirmative of Ibe doctrine
fur which nei nre now contending.
Tim I're'ident's proclamation then stands
up in Mar principles and wir necessities, and
the imitation of tbe Constitution against It, or
ot hoc i lesolutions ns the ubote, bavo no more
fcr than so much blank paper. It were just
fj re'evant lo quote the Constitution and th"e
resolutions ugaitist the right lo shoot rebels on
in" I utile) I, eld lo lakethem prIonerto take
tbmr horsee mules, cotton, e c, etc. Theseare
the necessities 1 1 Ihe war, and these proceed
ins are therelore right and proper. Nobody
di'putes this. They had as well, though, as to
dlrpute the right to abolish slavery. If the
foracr is a necessity of tbe war the latter Is
equally so. The troth o f the matter is, the rlgh'
to preserve the Government is Ihe great rw.t
under the I institution, nnd all other things are
subordinate.
We observe that tbe Intelligencer of Friday
Inst bas a long article beaded "Emancipation
an Expedient and not a Principle." It Is pr
haps to be regretted that the Intelligencer has
been ro long in getting its eyes open. Had it
taken this view of the enbjectwben the procll
m ition was first issued, though its readers
might have missed some tin9 writing, it would
certainty have given a correcter view of this
question, and done itself more credit. It can
not bo possible that our neighbor did not un
derstand tho proclamation in this light from
thei start-

The same paper takes strong ground and

adelphta, $1.30 Price of one dollar tt Rich

Correspondents of ths Philadelphia Inualrer.
LrancRo, Va , Oct. 3J, 1SC2.
Your correspondent left Goose Creek Meet
Ing House yesterday morning for this place, by
the way of the Leesbnrg and Winchester turn
pike, eome eight miles distance.
Tbe pike that we travelled on to-day was In
flrst-rato conditionhard and solid and from
appearances a capital road to move artillery
on. The farms and dwellings on each side of
the road, with few exceptions, were cozy and
genteel In appearace, and several might be
called lordly mansions.
About balf-way between Piirceltvllle and
Leesbnrg is the little town of Hamilton, or
Harmony', as it Is often called. It Is u very
nice and tidy place ; the bouses being mostly
white frames, with green shutters, looking quite
genteel. As we passed through, we could sec
female faces peering at us from within ; they,
no doubt, with the usual curiosity Incidental
to country folks and females In particular.
wondered who we were, and what onr bnslness
was along the lines.
We jogged on, up hill and down dale; now
on the Ion of a high hill, from whence we
could see for miles and miles uway In tbe dim'
distance, until ine mr-cu mountains in Mary
land looked like blue mist.
Within a mile of Leesburg, upon a very high
hill, commanding the pike and the surrounding
couutry, wo observed an old fortification. This
is Fort Johnson, thrown up by the rebels last
fall a year ago, by the Mississippi troops, at
that time quartered Iu this region The works
are very creditable to thoso concerned iu con
structing them. It was mounted with twelve
cannon when occupied, which was only for a
short term of s'x months, and then abandoned
to Its fate. It Is built In the form ot a star,
with a ditch on the outside. Ihe principal
barracks in tho lort have been destroyed, but
thoso remaining are built of heavy wbite oak
logs, with earth heaped on the roof to make
them bomb proof. Tbe works are of earth,
thrown up over logs and stones. Tbe plat
forms where the gun-carriages were aro of hard
Clay, the rains ntA. having dnmagta tium lathe
least.
From the parapet or the fort the white tents
of our troops in Maryland cm easily be Been,
while the Potomac can be traced tor miles.
Tbe whole country around Leesburg. from
this point, looks like one vast plain. Some of
our batteries on ine Maryland more, three
miles distant, got the range of this nolnt nnd
threw rtfella directly in, often compelling the
garrison to uee out into me roara lor eaieiy.
Leesburg looks much better in tho distance
than it does upon nearer inspection. The
etores in the town are all closed, and. from an
pearances, might stay closed, for all they have
got to sell. The majority of (lie bousts are
small and qult mean In their looks, yet there
are a number of fine houses, of rather an an
cient appearance. In fact, the town bas un old
look about it wide nnd arched ullev ways
alongside the dwellings. The court bou-e Is
passable, and the Academy looks not unlike a
country cnurcn. anis lauer uuuaing is used
as a Confederate hospital, now containing about
a dozen sick and convalescent soldiers. In
another building, which had been used by the
Confederates as an hospital, some troopers
were busy in throwing out filthy looking gar
ments nnd bedding, lor the purpose of hauling
them away to be burned.
There appears, to be more negroes iu and
around this place than all the rest of the couu
ty. About Lovettsville and vicinity we did
not observe any ol the colored race likewise
at Purcelvllle, except the servants connected
witn our army.
There are some few Union people In Lees
burg, but the great majority are strongly
seceeh, and take no pains in biding their con
tempt lor the " ranis." we went into the
hospital, wbere the rebel sick are, and when
we came out tbe ladles residing opposite had
to go over and see what we .wanted thtre.
Tbe citizens here complain that they have
been knocked about like unto a shuttle cock.
First, the Federal cavalry would dash into
town, and alter an hour, or two visit, would
leave, when tbe refcel cavalry would dash in
neither party holding the town. Several cav
alry fights have taken place In the streets, and
a number of water spouts, uoors ana windows
still enow tne marks oi tne ouuets.
About ilx weeks ago, some forty sheila were
fired Into the town by Ibe Union troops. This
was done, ns stated by the Union commander,
on account of the citlrens tiring on bis troops,
Several bouses were completely riddled. The
hotel In which we are stopping bad three shells
to pass completely through tho house, while
one burst In tho very chamber we nre now
writing in, breaking furniture and scattering
bricks and mortar all around. At the timo of
the shelling, thero were fifteen wounded Union
soldiers in the hotel. Tbe citizens complain
verv much of this, and sav that there was only
a rebel provost guard in town at the time of
tne uring. anere ueiug always two siues to a
question, of course we have nothing to say,
wnemer ii was ngai or wrong, oniy one iniog.
White's guerilla band was not far off when tbe
occurrence took place.
Captain Means's independent company of
Uniou Hangers had a fight in the etrcets ot the
town with tne renets. The ngnt was quite des
iterate lor a time, both Dirties losing men.
There is not the rl'ghtest particle ol busi
ness being transacted in tho town eveu the
barber shop being deserted. The Loudoun
Hotel, at which wo are stopping, has both Fed
eral acd Conlederate soldiers boarding. They
seemed to understand each other, anil get along
quite amicably.
Like till othei towns that our forces have
tucceideii in capturing trom the rebel hordes,
the Inhabitants are cleaned out cf everything

AS thflre ftrA man fttftbtmanta In itrdnlftllnn
In regard to the privateer Alabama, all or
which, as far as I have seen, contain some, mis
statement or fact, and many erroneous opin
ions In regard to her, I avail myself of this op-
uuuuuiij ui eeoaing you a uue statement oi
facts as observed by one who war seventeen
days a prisoner on board or her. I also send
a brier report or one or the conversations with
oncers and crew or the Alabama, If ou should
consider them worthy a place In your columns.
In the first place, there seems to be a marvel
oua and mistaken opinion In regard to ber
speed, common report placing It at thirteen
knots under sail, and fifteen knots under steam.
This Is erroneous, especially in regard to steam.
1 do not believe there was a man on tbo Ala
bama, at the time I was there, that knew her
rate of speed under steam. Her propeller was
not lowered while I was on board of her, and
all that I conversed with agreed In saying that
they bad been but very little under steam since
she first sailed. Seon after the chase and cap
ture ol the Ellsha Dunbar, Captain Semmcs re.
marked to ono of his officers, " We have a good
vessel under our feet: good batteries, and
plenty or room to Ogit them In. We know
she Is fast under sail, and I think she Is fast un
der steam."
1 have two reasons for thinking that her rate
of speed under steam la not much more than
nail wnai is enrr ntty reported, Tne tint Is,
her engine Is only 400 nominal horse power, as
I ascertained from good authority. Now take
Into consideration the size ol the vessel, (1,400
tons,) and tbe engine will be found too light to
drive her through the water at anything like
the rate ascribed to her. In the second place,
her propeller, which I had a good opportunity
to observe, has only fuo blade ot about eight
feet stroke, not more; and I am or ths opinion
mat eignt Knots win De toe most thai can .De
got cut ol her under ordinary circumstances,
with steam alone. Under sail, she Is certainly
tost, but not raster than very many or our clip
per ships. Twelve knots was the fastest she
went while wo were on board; but I think,
upon an emergency, two or three knots more
might bavo been obtained. Now, to the best
or my judgment, ber rate or speed should be
put, countering the most favorable circum
stances, fldeen knots under sail, and eight or
nino unuer steam, inia smartness, It must be
borne in miod, will only apply to ber going
abend, for in stays she Li very slow, barely
making out to tack In smooth water: and as
for wearing, a sailing versel like the Ports
mouth or Constellation would sail around ber
nearly twice during tbe operation.
Again, she Is reported to carry a IOO-pound
rifle pivot gun forward tbe bridge and a Im
pounder aft. This is a mistake, ss both pivot
guns are of the same calibre, 8C pounders. The
weignt oi tne rme is su cwt.: tne alter one, 1
was told, was somewhat heavier. The number
of her guns bas been reported correctly, name
ly, mree m pounacrs on a sine ana two pivots,
all or the Blakeley pattern. For tbe benefit of
your classical readers, I send you the Inscrip
tion on ber wheel, engraved In large canltals:
"Adie tol et Dieu e'adlera."
Notwithstanding their piratical calling, the
majority of her officers and crew have a great
respect for the Union, and a lingering affection
for the old'flag. Said tho fourth lieutenant,
(who first boarded us as prize master.) "The
united mates, as It was, was the freest,
happiest and greatest country on the face ot
the earth, and It Is anything but a pleasure to
me to come on board a ship and pull down that
flag, but the Northerners are burning and des
troying our property, and driving our families
out of house and home, and we must get what
satisfaction we can." Said he: "I believe this
war to have been brought about by a few or
too extremes oi tne norm ana south, ana now
a majority of the journals of the North, and I
will admit many In the South, tell nothing but
a parcel or lies to fan the flame, excite the peo
ple, ana Keep mem to worK cutting one anoth
er's throats."
In conversing with the lieutenant or marines.
who was said to be a brolher-ln law or Jeff
Davis, bo admitted 'that the Northern troops
conducted themselves with great bravery at the
battle of Bull Run, (first battle,) fighting, as he
termed u, "use mo uevn;" "and," asid Be,
" had our army been composed ol regular dis
ciplined troops, we suuaiu nave lost tne nay
there. The battle was ns good as lost to us
four different times, but our troops being raw,
ihey did not know when they were whipped,
but kept fighting on until eventually victo
rious." iu couvenauon upon toe great ques
tions oi tne uay, nis mina seemou to be thor
oughly Imbued with the arlstocratlcal I am-the-aalt-of
the eartb opinions so common to South
erners, ue tnougnt the negro had a soul, but
that was admitting a great deal. A white man
wbo could not whip five hundred negroes In a
ttir fight he would conaider no man. To tbe
question of peaceable separation, and where
ihey would commence to divide, he renlled
that tbe Confederate Government wanted no
border slave State unless tbey were perfectly
willing to join them, and that they wished to
retain noj&inte longer than tbey were satisfied
to remaiu. He had no doubt ot tho correctness
of State rights; and as to tho result of Uie war,
there could be no doubt that tbe South would
become a separate Government. Yet to Eag-

"lor," said he, "England is afraid Ol tbe United
States." This opinion was entertained by a
Dumber of tbe most Intelligent ol tbe Alabama's
officers.
Her crew are a tine-looking, able-bodied aett
of men, mostly Eoglish, obtained, however,
unoer intse pretences, as a general ming. une
of tbe crew told me that himself and fifteen
others joined her to run the blockade, buddo-
sing her to be a steamer in the same employ as
ine asasnviiie. utneis were enippea in a state
of Intoxication. Others cared but little what
employ tbey wero in, so long ua tbey got good
wages and their grog three times n day. One
man, who admitted to having been engaged In
the slave trade, remarked that he was tor the
man who paid him best. His patriotism, he
said, lay In his pocket. An Intelligent-looking
young man remarked that he had madeaamali
fortune with Garibaldi, and ne would make an
other hero. Unou inquiry as to how he ex
peeled to mukd a fortune ia tho Alabama, be
rt plied that they were to have half tbe value
ot all they deairoyejsearly distributed In prize
money, wnetner tney were ro tatte their pay
ia uonieaeraie notes or " Jen s " soinpiasters,

R lion's Washington Theatre.
It wlll;be seen, by an advertisement In an
other column, that Mr. Nixon has been com
pelled to postpone the opening of the Wash
ington Theatre until Wednesday evening, owing
to the Immense alteration that he has resolved
tomake. Wa refer our readers, for particulars,
to the advertisement. The beautiful and fasci
nating danseuse, Isabel Cabas, will be the
opening star, with F, S. Chanfrau and ths
well known Ciaaa JlaUet Troupt. The Boston
Courier thus speaks of this dashing artiste :
The Benorlta Cubaa belongs to thst hltthest
type or Spanish beauty, so brightly bold, whlob
In days of yore was wont to fire to madness the
cavaliers and shake ths salntshlp of Innumsra

" The eye of Cubas Is full ot storm and dark.
neas, yet lovely In Its strength: the bead small,
and the figure lithe and graceful aa a thorough

bility breathes, and every bound Is as wild and
vigorous as a young pantbor's. She realizes
In every sense the poet's picture of the beauty

" The lady is a glowing Andalualan beauty of

Pleasing symmetry, iier movements are onier

which enables her to accomplish wonders.
Her dresses are rleher, and In better taste,
than thoso of any danseuse wo remember to
have seen. She Keeps perfeet time with the
musio,la full or expression, and Illustrates pas
stonately the poetry of motion. As she flashes
down the stage with a glitter of sparkling
steps, or cleaves the air with voluptuous and
capricious bound, or throws herself seductive
ly into the arms of ber attendant, the audience
exnerlence a thru! of delight, admiration, won
der I She does not creep gradually into favor
by Intermittent achievements or choregraphlo
skill, but plunges at once into the intereat and
tbe affection of tho audienoe, and by a-eleady,
brilliant, sustained series of running exercises,
holds their senses captive until she closes. She
does not spare herseir in tbo least. She fills
the eye and the mind. She Is thrllllngly faith

Among the Republican members of Congress
defeated at the recent election, there Is no man
whose defeat will be more sincerely deplored
than that or John A. Bingham, or the Sixteenth
Congressional district or Ohio. There ia none
whose loss will be more keenly felt by the
friends of justlco nnd freedom. But neither
will he, nor will they despond on account of
this disappointment. Ho bos left a glorious
record, and tbe future will do him justice. In
Uhe course of bis legislative life, he has written
aown lor nimseu a career marKea witn unex
ampled courage and success. While, to have
been a member or the last Congress, and have
acted the Important part that he did In Its de

proudest event or his life. He has made a mark
there that will live forever In the annals of the

dom, which underlie tho Constitution nnd the
Union, than to him. The manly tones of his
eloquent voice, fulminating the Indignant feel
logs of a passion nature, against slavery as the
sole cause of this rebellion, still linger In my
ears. In the united cause of freedom and
country, be threw his whole soul, and devoted
every energy oi nis mina, to solve tne grand
problem ot the nation's destiny. He brought
to this work tbe strength ot a keen Intellect, In
spired by the highest qualities or genius. For
this, he will command tbe admiration or his
friends, and deserve the respect cf all true
men, who lore their country and Its free Insti

North Carolina uov. Stanly's Viae of
'--race vo uov. vane.
Gov. Stanly, Military Governor ol North
Carolina, under a flag of truce, recently sent a
communication to Gov. Vance, (tbe bead of
the State as a member of our rebellious South
ern Confederate States), "proposing an inter
view, without any ceremony or raising any
questions of dignity or rank,tipon tho present
state of publio affairs and the aspects of the
war at this time." By a late dispatch from
Newbern woare informed thst the flag ol truce
had returned, with the answer from Governor
Vance that he cannot act upon the proposition
aforesaid as desired, but will submit Governor
Stanly's communication to the Confederate
Government at Richmond for Its action.
Thus It appears that Gov. Vance, an old line
Whig, bas not yet learned the lint lesson of
Southern State rights, as taught by the chief
contrivers of this rebellion to wit : That tbo
sovereignty of each State concerned Is para
mount, and that before tbla State sovereignty
tbe Government of the "Confederate States" Is
but a subordinate and helpless creature
Reooqnitiox Not Pautiblk. At the meet
ing ot the Council of the Liverpool Chamber
ot Commerce, the question of the recognition
oi tne ooutnern uonreaeracy came up tor dis
cussion. Mr, McFie, one-ot tbe members, had
given notice of a motion on the subject, intend
ing that a special meeting of Ibe Chamber
should have been called to consider tbe propri
ety of memorializing Government In favor of
recognition. Alter some conversation, air.
McFie Intimated that he wished to recall bis
notice on the subject, a statement which was re
ceived with general satisfaction, several mem
bers present observing that the policy main
tained bv the Government hitherto, was, in
their opinion, the only correct polloy to be pur
sued, under tbe circumstances. Mr. Barucbeon,
one ol the members or tbe Liverpool Cham
ber who attended the recent Social Science As.
soclatlon gathering at Brussels, said that so far
las he could ascertain, the majority of the pub
pio associations were not in favor of ngltatlog
the question at present.
