N??y York, Sunday, Slay 19, 1804, TI.11C SITUATION. The latest news from General McClellan's army is I hat he is pushing on as fast as practicable. General Wool was in Norfolk yesterday, and is a bunt to move liis headquarters from Fortress Mouroe to that city. A number of the crew o^. the departed Morrimac arrived at Baltimore from OIJ Point yesterday. Some of them, who are men horn in the North, state that they were im pressed into the rebel service. A despatch was received at the War Depart ment yesterday from Colonel David Campbell, of the Fifth cavalry, dated at Williamsburg, and en dorsed by General McClellan, to the effect that on Friday our whole fleet*, of iron gunboats? the Monitor, Galena, N-ugatuek, Aroostook and Port Royal?were repulsed from For Darling, on the Jamea river, seven miles be low Richmond. This inteMigcncc came fVom Lieut. Morris, of the Port Royal, who sent to Williams burg for assistance to bury the dead. The one hundred-pound gun of the Naugataek exploded at the first Are. Seventeen were buried on shore, and it is said that a number of wounded are on board the boats, some of which have returned to Jamestown Island, near Williamsburg. The only news from Gen. Banks' division is con" taiiied in a despatch from Brigadier General Gea ry. received at the War Department, dated from Rectortown on Friday, to the effect that a portion of a company of infantry belonging to his com mand had a skirmish with a large body of rebel cavalry, numbering from three hundred to six hun dred, at Linden, in which the Union troops were overpowered. Gen. Geary says that Gen. Shields aLo had a *kirmisli with the same party. The despatch from Commander Davis, of the M s-?' --ippi gunboat squadron, to the Navy Depart ment, furnishes another evidence of the daring and efficiency of our river navy. Eight iron-c!ad rebel st. amers, four of them fitted with ran.s, advanced up the river at Fort Wright on the 10th iust., and made an unexpected attack on Captain Davis* fotilla: but the vigor with which his men met the enemy was too much for them. Two of the rebel boats were disabled almost at the opening of the -otiflirt and drifted down the river, while a f.fty pound rifle shot, fired by Commodore Walke, went thi ongh the boilers of another and put her hors <>u rt,nihil. The result was thnt the rebels withdrew their boat* very hastily to a point below the fort. General Pope's division ha* advanced to within three miles of Corinth. Deserters say that dis a le. ti?n exists to an alarming extent among the Tennessee and Missouri regiments in Beanreg.'.rd's at my. who are contending that they have nothing to fight fi?r, as their States arc already restored to the Union. A portion of the celebrated Jeff. Thompson's gueiilla hand has been captured near Bloomfleld, Mo. The captives number one hundred, half of whom gave theiu.?elvc? up voluntarily. i Hir Kuropean correspondence and newspape,. reports, received by the Niagara and Great East ern, contain Important matter with reference to the progress of the Idea of direct intervention on the part of Napoleon and England ill the affairs of the United Stites government. ft is evident that, up to the 5th initant, the die tress existing in the manufacturing districts of Fiance and Hugland was of a very serious ch.ira< ter. ind that neither government could devi-e any hone means for its relief. Our advices allege that inl'r incv it had become even dangerous to the throne, ?ful would be more aggravated in this di rection daily unless the capitalists could receive a supply of :otton and the export trade to the United States be improved. Un'W these circumstances It Is generally eon reded tli.it Napoleon has made some overtures to the British Cabinet, asking its support in a'scheme fin putl r f mi end to the rebellion in this country. The writers <11 connect the late visit of M. Mereier, the Kreneh Minister in Washington, to Richmond with thi# subject. The Paris Putt ie of the 4th iintaiit a? <?:rfj that tint gentleman had a long in terview with JcftVrs/w Davis, and that President Lincoln was well Mvnr of the political character of his mission, hot the journalist does net intimate under whut form the intervention offer is to be JH'COtltf 'II* GfMnliiirg Seotnuon, however, says thnt tho rmp#ror will soon address a remonstrance to both the Northern find Southern governments on the 'Juration nnl effects of the war. This remon it. Aiiv v, it is said, will bo designedly offensive to 1 our government, should hostilities be continued utter its reception; and that then the Emperor will propose that a vote be takcu by States on the (juestion of tlual separation or reunion, tho vote to be conducted on his favorito Italian plan of "universal suffrage." England, it is said, will not join the emperor in any such scheme. Forty deaths from destitution have been re ported by the Irish Coroners from one district of that island. The cases were submitted to the House of Commons by Mr. Maguire, M. P. A Spitalfields (England) weaver had just died from starvation. The report of the case is melancholy. He worked, independently and manfully, at his loom, the earning! of himself and his wife being only one do'.lar and a quarter a week, until he sank with hunger and died in a few minutes. Ilia family had sold and pawned all their clothing sooner tha'i go to the poorhouse. AlUthia suffering is attributed in England to the war in America, and the work people were becoming greatly agitated on the subject. MISCELLANEOUS NEW3. The Great Eastern made licr dock at this port yesterday afternoon. She reports having sailed from Milford Iluven, England, at two o'clock on the afternoon of the 7th instant. Her very latest news?which is two day*-laterthan the advice# by the Niagara?is dated at Liverpool on the Gth instant, and was telegraphed to Miltord Haven. The Liverpool cotton market was dull, and un changed from easier rate?. On the 5th inst. the market closed with a dscline of from one-eighth to one-fourth of a penny. Flour declined sixpence per barrel on the Cth instant. Provisions were heavy. Consols closed in London on the Gth in stant at {)V/t a 94. Victor Emanuel enjoyed a fine reception in Na ples. He assured the people that, anxious as Italy was for the possession of Home, Napoleon was equally anxious to withdraw from tho milita ry occupation of it. Garibaldi had resigned the chief command of the Genoese volunteers. The Pope returned to Rome v>n the 3d instant. Twenty two persons had been arrested in Warsaw, by or der of the Russian authorities, for singing Polish national songs. The British West India irflpil steamship Planta genet arrived at this port last evening. She brings files from Jamaica dated at Kingston on the 7th of May. Her Britanuic Majesty's steamer Ed gar, with the flag of Rear Admiral Sir C. I>acres, was to leave Port Royal, Jamaica, on the 8th in stant, for Bermuda. There are complaints of dry weather from all parts of Jamaicn. There have been light and refreshing showers generally; but in the agricultural districts they have worked but lit tle advantage. The sugar estates In Trelawney, which depend upon the rivers for vtheir motive power in working their mills, have afi becu com pelled to suspend operations. A very large ami enthusiastic meeting of the members of the New York bar yestarday re sponded to a call of Mr. Edwin James, ex-Queen's Counsel, and e\-Member of Parliament, Ingland, to hear his explanation of several smuiymous eharges that have been made against him,*ind his response to a committee of live of the Law Insti tute, who have moved his expulsion frosn the Xew York bar in consequence of those "accusa tions. A report of the proceedings is given in another column of our paper this morning. In the General Sessions yesterday, Recorder Hoffman sentenced Edward Riley to the State Pri son for five years, he having been convicted in February of forgery in the second degree. James Walker, convicted in April of forgery in the fourth degree, was sent to the State Trison lor two yearn. Joseph Myers, who was engaged with others in robbing John Kreuan of $30, wa? sent to the Peni tentiary for one year, by the City Judge. Joeeph Hart, proprietor of the Volks Garden, in the Bow ery, was brought before Judge McCunn on a writ of-habeas corpus, charged with violating the Con cert Saloon act, in permitting lager bier to be sold during a theatrical performance. Ilia counsel con tended that the Legislature meant only to exclude intoxicating drinks, ami, as the Court of Appeals li.td decided that the national beverage of the Teutons was not intoxicating, the defendant ought to be discharged. Assistant District Attor ii-y Whitehead briefly replied, contending for a strict interpretation of the statute. The Judge reserved hi* decision. war* -teadjr yesterday, without materia! iiai g?.

President Lincoln and Hla Happy fakiasti It Is a "orniiktMo character!-tic of those proi.i' 11 assemblages of various aninuils knowi "Happy Families," that, though there are o 11 squabbles and disputes, it is seldom found necessary to turn one of the animals out of tbc cage. The mastor mind of the showman k?eps all his curiosities in order. He feeds tbeni well, pokes them up occasionally, and sometimes flogs them, but is hardly ever obliged to entirely dismiss them. Now, President Lincoln's happy Cabinet very much resembles Earn urn's "Happy Family," in the diverse and conflicting opinions, the personal jealousies and dispute? of its members, and in the style of management required for its proper adminis tration. Therefore. although the entire Cabi net may now be divided upon the question of withdrawing General Hunter's silly abolition i proclamation, yet we altogether discredit the currcnt rumors that the President will turn out one of his Cabinet adyisors, or that ono of tho secretaric s will resign bis position. That General Hunter's proclamation will bo disavowed by the President is a matter of course; and it may lead either to tho recall of this General 01 a statement from him that be was directed to issue such an absurd ordor by his superior officer, one of the officials at Wash ington. The ordor changes the whole policy of the government It assumes powers which do not exist in sny but U10 frftato governments. It accomplishes just about as much, practically, ss i! it had proclaimed the freedom of the slaves of interior Africa. By implication it is an insult, over General Hunter's signature, to ?\cry other military officer, and a rebuke to the President himself. Therefore it must be instantly withdrawn, and the General who signed it must be punished. Hut this does not necessi tate a bioakin# up of tb? Cabinet. Fremont was recalled under similar circumstance*; but no Cabinet officer resigned iu consequence, j The Cabinet is altogether too weak to break up. When a bar of iron is violently struck it : breaks in tins weakest part. But the Cabinet has no weakest puit. It it all weak alike, and liuist give way to the President, who controls and manages everything, and who is his own adviser and his own Cabinet. We have the facts on record, and shall publish them when we deem it expedient, to prove that throughout tLia whole war President Lincoln has conducted tho affairs of this nation for himself?doing what he judged right, in spite of the members of his Cabinet. If he had not done so God only knows where we should have been now. It is a bless ing to the country and the world that Heaven gave us in Mr. Lincoln the man for the crisis, and that the Presidential chair was filled by no old fogy politician of tho style of those in the Cabinet. Newspapers ana niggers are tne stumming blocks of all small politicians In this country. The members of tbe Cabinet are all very well in their own departments; but the moment they attempt to manage either of these difficult sub jects they find their heels tripped up and them selves in the mire. T!i"re is Secretary Seward, for instance. Ilia management of our foreign affairs has been, thus far, beyond all praise. We confess that we never supposed Seward had such talents or knew so well how to use tbe talents lie had. Certainly ho never showed any such genius in political life. And why? Because there he was trying to manage the irrepressible nigger. And whenever, during his diplomatic career, he has left bis own department to dabble with other matters, he has blundered most fear fully. Ilis interference with the "peace organ'' newspapers was a blunder. His system of po litical arrests was a blunder. Hi* letter about Bull Run Russell was a blunder. His issuing of passports was a bluudcr. His management of the press censorship was a blunder. Seward, however, had sense enough to see this and to get rid of these troublesome matters as speedily as possible. Consequently he has made an admirable Secretary of State, and has dis played a genius for the management of foreign affairs which, if we were the first to doubt, wo were also the first to discover and acknowledge. The press censorship Seward banded over to Cameron, who sunk beneath its weight of re sponsibility; and now Secretary Stanton like Hercules relieving Atlas; is trying to support the same burden, with kittle better success. Or take, again, the case of Secretary Chase. As a Secretary of the Treasury Mr. Chase has proven himself a statesmanlike financier of the very highest order. If all the ability and all the labors of half a dozen of his imme diate predecessors in office were combined they could not rival the extraordinary ability and the splendid financial achievements of Mr. Chase. And yet what is this Secretary worth when he leaves the almighty dollar to manage the almighty nigger? Just nothing at all. His schemes for making educated saints of the contrabands at Hilton Head have resulted in notiiing but expense, failure and the personal chastisement of Chase's man Friday, the Reverend Fierce. Mr. Chase, therefore, has turned the nigger question over to Secretary Stanton and retreated to his own department. He will do well to remain there acd become famous. Secretary Welles has had nothing to do with either niggers or news papers, but has amused himself by managing his ofllce business just as be would ftave done lifty years ago; while the President has direct ed, and our gallant sailors have accomplished, those glorious exploits which shall aever be forgotteu while Americans have a country. There may be other members of the Cabinet besides those mentioned, and doubtless we could find their names in some almanac or other; but they amount to nothing, and need not be considered. Now, if the Cabinet is to break up, who is to go out? Not theso unnamed nobudies, who never heard of General Hunter or his procla mation until they read about ft in the Herald. Not Secretary Welles; for he has nothing to do with slaves, aud only wants to be allowed to doze in peace. Not Secretary Chase: for he lias given up the nigger business, and loves his financial labors too well to leave thoin voluntarily upon another man's quarrel. Not Secretary Seward; for he, too, finds enough to do in his own department, and is content to re?t his faino upon hi# diplomatic achievements. Who, then, remains? Only Sesretary Stanton, to whom both Seward and Chase have thrown their dirty linen?tbo newspapers and the nig gers and who has since been kept at the wash tub, splashing and scolding in a style more ridiculous than imposing. We do not think Stanton will go. He has backed dou*u very often, and must do so again. If he left the Cabinet he would lose a good salary, become a nobody and be everywhere la'igho?t at. Jie will not be foolNh enough to exohan je liii? pre sent position for such a prospect. J inch as he may admire Hunter's proelamatiou. lie will not risk his ofll<e by opposing the Presi<l ent's wi?be in regard to it. Stanton blusters t<>o much to be a determined man and a man ol/ settled prin ciples, and is altogether too shre ad to give up a seat in Lincoln's Cabinet for tb t bird in the bush of aa abolition nominatio n for the Presi dency. On the whole, therefor e, we conclude that, although General Hunter* order will be withdrawn, thero will bo n-? change in the Cabinet. We congratulate t ie country, how ever, upon having so excellent a President that, if all the Cabinet should resign at once, no one need be at all alar ined for the safety and we 1 faro of the nation. Waiwwortii and tiik, Conthaiumw.?It Is reported that General V/adsworth, the Military Governor of the Distrust of Columbia. is cloth ing and feeding tho contraband negroes at Washington at the gr/vermnent expense, adding another chapter to the abolition measures to deplete the Treasury. The money thus ex pended on the la/y and shiftless black contra bands would be. very acceptable end of real benefit to tho uhite wives and children of the Irish and German soldiers who compose to a great extent, the rank and filo of our armies. The IiUh and German soldiers are doing great service to the country, and if General Wads worth is charitably inclined ho can do his country far better service by expending the government money on their wives and children, many of whom aro really suffering. The money that be is said to bo squandering would do aa immense amount of good if given to the f.?i. lies of our gallant volunteers; but rfcen w? v.ip. pose there is no use of talking about it^ for no doubt General Wads worth, like all, the other abolition humanitarians, believes that every, thing depeuds upon color* ??" 'V i This TainitMit'a Mi:asm -is asp Mauonitt.?A short time ago >y? published exclusively Beau regard's important cypher despatch, sent to us, in advance of all I**? other papers, by our Xashyillo correspondent Tho Tribune imme diately pronounced this cfeayatch a forgery, though it has since been obliged to copy it as undoubtedly authentic. On Friday lost we published a letter from Mr. S. II. (Jay, the lead ing editor of the Tribune, to one of his corres pondents, admitting that "the Herald is con stantly ahead." This letter was dropped on the battle field of Williamsburg by the Tribune reporter, who either ran away, like Raymond and Russell, or deserted in haste to the rebel side. One of the Union soldiers found tho let ter among a lot of rebel trash, handed it to our correspondent, and we published it as a curiosity, just as we have published rebel love letters. The Tribune admits that its leading editor wrote the letter, byt says that wo stole U. Really, the manners and the language of 'he Tribune writers can only be paralleled by those of the inmates of our State prisons. '? i'ou lie, villain!" "You forged that de spatch !" " You're a base villain I" " You stole that letter 1" These are specimens of the Tribune's slang. Such language befits swindlers, thieves and jobbers, but not conductors of re spectable journals. Only men who know their own character to bo worthless ever make such base charges against better people. Mr. Gay's letter, like the Tribune's conscience, shows that be and his associates know their editorials against us to be as untrue as they are unman nerly, and frankly owns that " the Herald is constantly ahead. We are obliged to copy from it." Tna Tribune Acknowledging thh Corn.? On Friday we published an epistle, entirely unique, from Master Gay, successor to Dana as managing editor of the Tribune, addressed to the reporter of that journal taking notes of the operations of General McClellan on the penin sula between James and York rivers. Tho editor complained that the Herald was always ahead of the Tribune in its intelligence from the seat of war. This fact was, of course, a true bill, known and recognized by all men. But some persons doubted the genuineness of the lettor from the affected quaininess of the spelling, imitating the manner of authors old as the poet Chaucer, whoso ortho graphy is as obsolete as are their opinions and ideas. But it occurs to ns that this mode of spelling is a very proper indica tion of the character of a journal always behindhand in its intelligence, and putting for ward in its editorial columns the exploded po litical and social heresies of past generations. The Tribune itself, however, settles the matter. It candidly admits the genuineness of the epistle lost on the battle field in the precipi tate flight of the reporter. No donbt it would be denied but that the manuscript is written on the note vapor manufactured for the Tribune, and having the imprint of the office upon it, and that the handwritiug of Mr. Gay fe too well known to leave room for any question. We have the document to produco to any one who may be skeptical on the subject. But the Trir hunc admits it; and thus, by its own confession, it is always behind the Herald in its war intelli gence, as it is in every other kind of news from all parts of the world. Tue Late Union Demonstration at Nash vii.i.e?Thk IIkkalu and Om Contemporaries.? The only regular report thus far given to the public in this quarter of the late great Union demonstration at Nashville was that published in the Herald yesterday. In th's important matter, as in very many others, our contempo raries "come up missing." Tho Herald wa? in advance of them, and in advance of them and of the government itself with our graphic report of tho battle of Shiloh. Next, our slow-paced competitors were as badly beaten by us in the matter of that confidential despatch of Beau regard, and hi the details of the battles of Lee's Mills, Yorktowu, Williamsburg, West Point (a battle in regard to which tho o!d women of the Jouriwi of Commtivr are yet waiting for the news) and New Orleans. Ac. Mr. Gay. of the Trifjiu w, in confessing to the slow correspond ents of that journal that he had to get the re port of the battle of the 1CMi from the Herald, was only telliug an every-day story. This is the secret of the wonderful success and popu larity'of the Hkiiaj.d; and, after having won so many'battles against all sorts of coalitions dur ing tile last quarter of a century, the Hkrai.d has secured the knowledge, tho mean- and the pow?fp to defy all opposition as the leading public journal of the present day. BSKJAMTN. WOOD OX TUB CONDITION Ot' THK Union.?The Hon. Bon. Wood has at length got a speoeh. and has obtained the permission of Congress to print it. He charges the rebellion upon the abolitionists, and lays everything at thoir door, h is true that they ure partially responsible; for their incendiary proceeding* stirred up the South: but the leading secession ists are likewise KuiltJ with them, and Mr. Wood, while he was about it, should have paid his respects to them. lie also urges upon Con gress to briug about a cessation of hostilities, for the purpose of negotiating for peace. Ces sation of hostilities and peace can be obtained in a very simple way. II his friends in the South will surrender, lay down their arms and return to loyalty to the Union, that will be very readily accomplished. Peace will not only exist throughout the whole country, but all those now in rebellion, with the exception of the leaders, will be fully protected in all their right* and interests. It is not necessary that we should have negotiations. If his friends desire peace they can have it at once by simply surrendering and becoming loyal citizens. Then they can have the protection of one of the boat governments that ever existed, and that is the only way that they can obtain peace. John Bill's American Flvnicky Vkrsis Par son Brownlow.?The hero of Solferino and Bull run. and more recently the Flunkey of John Bull, to be found at the offico of the Now York TiuiM, does not like the patriotic expres sions made by Parson Brownlow, at the Aciwle iny of Music, in reference to tfce attitude of England. Since tho "Little Villain" assumed the attitude of Flunkey in the Legislature he boeomos quite nervous tho moment anything is ?laid against his masters across the watev, and labors very bard to prove that tlie rounds of applause given the I'arseu for the censure of Kuglnnd wore not an endorsement of the ' bel ligerent sentiment.'' We would advi?e Pars.in Brownlow t<> cook and disia up the "Little Vil lain" in the same style that he dishes up the rebels, in his Mond i^ evening's speech at the Cooper Inititite, and we will give him Un b.'iiolit of a full report.

On the morning of that duy the batterios of ?&ata Rosa Island, together with the flcot, commeucod shotting tho works, but no response was made. After a sh^rt but vigorous cannonade a fag of truco was sont ashore to discover - the cause. No enemy whatever was founcT. Tho Union troops wero to take possession the following day. No mention is made of tho direction taken by the rebels. The evacuation of Vorlctown and Norfolk are pro liouuoed strategical movement?, by no moans indicating a rebel defeat. Williamsburg is claimed as a rebol vic tory. According to thoir accounts tho Yankees <.?er# re puted with great loss. Refugees say that officers from Corinth, who are fre quently in Memphis, complain bitterly of the l>ss the Southern ce.uso sustained by tho dclayof General Ilalleek iu making an attack upon tliem. Beauregard has been ready for a week. Every day,that passes weakens him. He has recolved all the reinforcements that it is possible for him to procure except raw levies, wbilo sickness rages throughout his camp to an alarming extent. Beauregard has placcd aa imperative oinbargo on letter writing from his camp. No soldier Is permitted to send any written communication to his friends. The whole country for one hundred miles below Co" rinth has been swept tO' obtain supplies for the rebel army, and is now noarly exhausted. Serious embarrass ments from this cause are anticipated. Arrangements have been effected between Genera' Hillock and Beauregard for an exchange of surgeons One hundred and fourteen prisoners were sent on by Beauregard to-day ui.der a flag of truce, borne by Colo net Pcgram, of the Army of Western Virginia. Not only those prisoners, but others havo been conli:>ed at Columbus, Mississippi. Some of them wero tako > in Missouri last summer. Before leaving Corinth one of them wo.- rccognizcd by one of Price's men as a mem ber of tho Twenty-fifth Illinois. paroled at Lexington, and Boauregard ordered him to be heavily ironed. Tho Union people in Memphis are reported sorely dis pirited ut the delay of our fleets.
