THE SITUATION.
The telegraph line through the State of Dela
ware between Washington and Fortress Monroe
was down yesterday, and hence not a word o:
news from General McClellan reached the capital.
It waa not thought at the War Department, how
ever, that anything of consequence transpired,
despite the threatening aspect which the news ol
Saturday night might be supposed to give to
affairs on the peninsula.
Despatches from Mount Jackson state that
everything ia quiet in that direction, and that the
rebel pickets ars five miles in advance of our
troops. More detailed accounts of the fight at
Port Republic on Monday last are given in our
columns to-day, together with the names of the
killed and wounded. Our troops fought magnifi
cently, although some of the regiments suffered
very severely, particularly the Seventh Indiana,
which maintained its position for four hours against
a vastly superiorjorce. This regiment left 1 red
?ricksburg 800 strong, and came out of the action
with only 140 men to answer the roll call. All the
Western troops behaved nobly.
After the fight it is understood that Jackson
took the road toward Skanardsville, passing
through the gap of the Blue Ridge Mountains, in
a line for Gordonsville. at which point is railroad
communication with Richmond.
? General Wool paid a visit to Harper's Ferry yes
terday, and found everything in good order tLcre,
The bridge recently destroyed waa nearly com
pleted. The road between Harper's Ferry and
Winchester is being rapidly repaired, and it is
thought that the government will have It in use in
a few days.
Affairs at Memphis are progressing very satis
factorily. Business ia being reaumed rapidly, and
the citizens who deserted it are returning.
By the China, off Cape Knee, we learn that the
Paris VotittUiUiormel, of the 7th of June, pnbliahed
?a article to show "the impossibility of the South
(rebel) being conquered," and maintaining that
foreign "mediation alone will succeed in putting an
end to a war disastrous alike to the interests of
humanity and Europe."
The owner of the British eteamef Circassian
protests agaiust her oaptare by the United States,
as lie asserts ahe was engaged in a lawful voyage.
Steamers running the blockade were insured at
Lloyds as low aa from thirty to forty guineas.
The Paris Moniteur of the 7th of June notifies
the blockade of the Mexican porta of Tampiro and
Alvarado by the Emperor. A French protectorate
for the republio wee spoken of.
The Spanish documents relative to the affklrs of
Mexico bad been submitted to the Cortes. The im
pression is reported as unfavorable to General Prim.
Our correspondence from London, Paris and
Berlin, published to-day, contains a very important
resume of tbe latest aspect of the American war
question in England, France end Prussia.

ampton and Queenatown on the 4th and 8th of
June respectively, wera boarded off Ctpe Race
last Saturday forenoon, on their way to New York.
Tbe China brings a week's later news. She made
the passage from Queenetown to Cape Race in five
days and seventeen hours. A synopsis of her ad

morning, and the full details, telegraphed from
Newfoundland, are given to-dsy.

brunches of exportation of that place, amount

That reduction, which is especially shown in the

Captain Bartlett, commanding the Rhode Island
Battery B, a brother of W. 0. Bartlett, Esq., of
this city, who was engaged with Sedgwick's divi
sion in the hard fought hattle before Richmond on
the 31st of May and the 1st of June, in a private
letter describe* the slaughter of the enemy aa
terrible. He says the dead rebels in front of our
army were piled np in heaps, just aa if they had
beeu emptied out of carta. In one place, on a

When the rebellion broke out, a nephew of
the rebel General John B. Magruder, was
residing and earning an honest living for his
family in Camden, New Jersey. The nephew
went South, to look after tho rights of the seceded

The annual sermon before the Young Men's
Christian Association of the New York University,
was delivered last evening, at the church corner
of Thirty-first street and Madison avenue, by the
Rev. Dr. Hague. The reverend gentleman took
bis text from Hebrews, twelfth chapter and first
verse: "Let us run with patience the race now
before us." From this text the learned gentle
man preached a very eloquent and instructive dis
course, which was principally thcologi al in its
character.
The Central Park and Jones' Wood were
thronged with visitors yesterday,the weather after
midday being charming enough to tempt even a
sick msn to have his domicil. The up town cars
were literally crammed each journey with persona
desirous to breathe a little fresh air, and the boats
to Jones' Wood had each trip a goodly cargo of
pleasure seekers. A fine Sunday is certainly a
boon indeed to those who are confined at the
desk, the counter or the workshop, and it is plea
sant to see that so many of both sexes know how
to appreciate its blessings. A number of invalided
and wounded soldiers were yesterday to be met
with in both of the above mentioned pia< es, no
doubt trying to aid the doctors in their efforts to
restore them to health.

The constant and continual successes of our
army aud nary, and the brilliant vicuuuw wto
by the Union force# in ovary direction, clearly
iud cute tliat Uxt grout work of orushiiig out
the rebellion will toon bo accomplished. The
?utnuior mouths will undoubtedly see tl e grea1
work of our armies finished; but it will, with
out doubt, take a much longer period to settle
down, and for the nation to return to iu former
quiet and peaceful condition. The near ap
proach of the day when our army will auhiev e
its crowning victory has, through the action of
officials in Washington, both in the Cabinet and
in Congress, in connection with the positions
taken by the difiereut newspapers, brought
about developments that distiuctly exh bit
to tbe country two lines of policy for the fiual
settlement of our natioual difficulties. One a
conservative and tbe other radical, they are
diametrically opposite to eaoh other in every
particular.
Tbe conservative policy was marked out by
the President at the commencement ol the
campaign, and clearly defined in his first pro
clamation calling for troops, in whioh be stated
to the publio that the troops were wanted to
put down the insurrection, and " cause the laws
to be executed." Tbe policy then enunciated
by the President has been adhered to by him
through all the great events of the war down to
the present time. Ilia modification of the re
port of Secretary Cameron, and his repudiation
of the proclamations of Generals !? remout and
Hunter, are among tbe official evideuces that
the policy of the ( resident remains unchanged.
The message of President Lincoln urging upon
the border slaveholding States to adopt the
system of gradual emancipation with consen
su t on is further proof that be still adheres
to this original conservative policy, and is
currying on the war to put down rebellious
combinations in Beveral of tbe States, to eu force
the laws and maintain the coustilution. Under
this plan each State will return to the Union
fold with all its rights and interests protected,
the same as they were, under the constitution,
before the rebellion commenced. The other
or radical policy originated with Sunnier, Wil
son, Wade and the abolitionists of the Senate,
in connection with Lovejoy, Hickman and the
extremists of the lower house, and is fully
endorsed and pushed forward by Secretary
Chase and the radicals of the Cabinet. It con*
templates blotting out of existeuce all the
local or State governments of the seceded
States, and bringing thein back as conquered
territory, giving to Congress ftill power over
their local institutions and interests, the same
as it has over original territory before it is ad
mitted as a State. This would prevent tbo
Southern States being represented in Congress
for the present, as well as place around their
final admission into the family of States such
restrictions and regulations in regard to the
institution of slavery as Congress might deter,
mine, inasmuch as it would give to Congress
the power to govern them.
Here wo huvc two separate and distinct
modes for the final settlement of the rebellion.
The conservative policy, as we have already
sbowu, contemplates the restoration of the
Union, and bringing back the revolted States,
with a guarantee for their full protection under
the constitution, the same as they hail before
the rebellion took place; the other to place
the rebellious States under the government of
Congress as conquered territory. Betn-eeu the
two there is a wide and radical difference.
The message ef the President urging upon
the border slaveholding States to adopt, at
their own volition, the system of gradual
emancipation clearly recognizes the doctrine
of State rights, and that each State has full con
trol over tho institution of slavesy within its
own borders, and tho power to abolish it at
its will. He does not propose to force this
upon them, but simply urges its adoption for
their own good, and is therefore fully con
sistent throughout, and does not in the least
interfere with the rights of the Southern States
under the constitution. The President is sua.
tained in this policy by Secretary Seward and
| the conservative members of his Cabinet, by
most of the generals and the great mass of the
people. If they are not overridden by the Ja
cobins in the Cabinet and Congress, they will
bring about, through the active and decisive
work of our karmiee, and the development of
tho I.*nion sentiment in the South, an end to the
rebellion and a final settlement of the whole
affair before the end of the year. If, on the
other band, the radicals are successful with their
policy, then the last vestigo of the Union sen.
timeut in the South will be crushed out, and
tho war prolonged for years. The declaration
of Jeff. Davis, of twenty years'war, will thus be
fully realized, with all its horrors and cost in
life and treasure. It is not at all improbable
that the people will have to decide between
I the two plans at the ballot box.
I That the President will adhere to the con
servative policy so well maintained thus far
sustained as he is by the statesman
like abilities of Secretary Seward, there
is not the shadow of a doubt; but it
is yet uncertain whether tho radiculs have the
strength or not in Congress to override the
clear and well defined conservative policy
which has guiJed President Lincolu ever since
the commencement of the war. If the events
of the next two months should show that the
radicals have the necessary strength to secure
the adoption of their policy, and to override flie
President and Secretary Seward in this matter,
or that there is even a probability of such a r<v
suit, then the two modes of settlement will
form the issues In tho election of Congressmen
at the next election. In that event the'people,
in casting their votes for representatives in
Congress, will be called upon to decide whether
they arc in favor of the conservative policy of
the President, and a speedy settlement of the
rebellion, with an immediate return to peaco
and prosperity, or the policy of the radicals,
with its long and lingering war and the evils
that attend It. The verdict of the people upon
an issue of that kind no one can doubt.
DtsTaccrioK or tub Cotton Crop.?We have
heard a good deal of the destruction of the cot.
ton crop by the rebels at the South; but, as far
as any statistics can be gathered, we do not
think that the cotton staple has suffered so much
after all by the suicidal hands of tbs rebels.
It is true that accounts have been received,
from time to time, of the immense consuming
of cotton In one quarter or another. Large
volumes of smoke have been seen at different
points within sight of our armies, and the pre
sumption was that it was caused by the burn
ing of cotton on the adjaceut plantations.
Very little Ore, however, often makes a good
deal of smoke, especially when cotton Is the
material which leads tt e flame; but it is a sig
nillcuut fact that the Southern papers?which
have made the largest boast they could of the
wholesale destruction of the cotton crop?have
m>t been able, when they come to figures, to
make the number ot bales destroyed up to this
time more than 150,(MO. Ami as the entire
crop numbers four millioile of bales, this is but
a very small drop in a very large bucket, and
really amounts to nothing.
What Will Napoleon IN. tn (lis Mexican
Client uta?l
In a military nation like France the late de
feat of its arms in Mexico must be keenly felt
by all classes, and to those who only look at
the surface of things the course of Napoleon
must appear to be an egregious error, placing
him in a dilemma from which to ia im possible
tor him to escape. But to those who look
deeper into the springs of action, and who have
studied the history and character of Napoleon,
there is no blunder and no insurmountable
difficulty. Ou the contrary, the invasion of
Mex co ia but the means to an end. and the
failure la part of his plan to rouse the enthu.
siaain of the Frenoh nation to the point to
which he desires to bring it. He well knew
that a temporary check to the success of Fronch
arms would stir up the popular mind to Its most
profound depths, and would inflame the martial
ardor of the army to such a pitch that it would
require tremendous battles and dazzling vic
tories to satisfy it. How easy to direct this
resentment to England, as tne cause of the dis
aster, in uot adhering to the convention, and
deserting France lu the critical moment.
The intelligence which we published yes
terday of the naval preparations in France
on a grand scale shows that a blow is medi
tated against "perfidious Albion." and that,
in all human probability, a struggle will soon
commence which will cast into the shade ail
the wars of the present century. There is no
mention made in the French newspapers of
these preparations, nor does anything appear
to be known of them in England; but there can
bo little doubt that British statesmen see what
is going on in France, though, from policy, they
affect to be ignorant of it, for two reasons: first(
they calculate they will the better put Napoleon
off bis guard by feigning ignorance of his designs;
and, secondly, they do not want to alarm the
people, who are already sufficiently prepared
for the revolutionary spark which may at any
time set them in a blaze. But there is abundant
evidence to prove that tliey are greatly alarmed
at those dark shadows which precede the
coming event?.
The invasion jof Mexico is, therefore, a foil,
like the invasion of Egypt, half a century ago,
to conceal the real destination of the impend
ing stroko which is to make or break Napoleon
111. There U something very tempting to an
ambitious mind, which has the power, in the
idea of breaking up an old commercial empire
which had so long lorded it over all creation,
more particularly as the aristocratic rulers Of
that empire are the hereditary enemies of
France, and, above all, of the family of Bona
parte.
That Louis Napoleon possesses the means in
his immense iron-clad fleet of gunboats, and in
the enormous army of infantry, artillery and
cavalry, which he could transport in a few
hours to the Thames and the Mersey, no person
can doubt who knows anything of his naval
and military resources, and of the immense pre*
parations he has been quietly making for a
number of years. He knows his dynasty is not
safe till he has thoroughly bumbled the pride
of England, and he appears to have
made up his mind to do it He could effect a
landing in various parts of the island; but it is
probable that the destination of bis troops is
Liverpool and London, one of them being the
capital, and both the two great commercial
cities, containing the chief wealth of the coun
try. He could, in the first place, levy enormous
contributions to ransom those cities from the
shells of bis gunboats, and he could make
them the two bases of his operations in the brie*
campuign which would suffice to overrun the
land. Having reduced England to subjection,
and effected a social and political revolution in
her institutions, he could then proceed at his
leisure to dispose of Spain, and whatever other
Power rendered itself obnoxious to him.
It may be supposed that Germany, the ally
of England in other days, would assist her In
this struggle. But the conquest would be ef.
feeted before there was any timo for an
alliance. Besides, Napoleon's command of
the sea would effectually cut off rein
forcements, and the insular position of
England, once her greatest strength,
would now prove her greatest weakness*
Lastly, all Germany is like a smoking volcano,
which may at any moment burst into a flame.
It is not in a condition, therefore, to contend
with France. The first attempt of Prussia to
interfere would be the signal to wrest from
her the provinces of (he Rhine. .Selfish, proud,
insolent England, has not a true friend among
the nations of the earth.
But would not the colonies of England still
sustain her, though the heart of the empire was
smitten? Not if the control of the sea belonged
to the conqueror, as it assuredly would. On the
contrary, the colonies, which Eugland even now
holds by very feeble ties, would then be rent
asunder from her forever, and would either
establish their independence or be annexed to
kindred and neighboring nations; for instance,
Canada and the West Indies to the United
States. Nor is this the only benefit that would
accrue to the American people. The capital
ists and great manufacturers of England would
desert her shores, and repair to the New World,
to make Investments by which they would ac
cumulate rapid fortunes, and be free from the
shock of revolution, which is chronic in Europe, 1
but in America is the exception te the rule.
In Europe the causes continually exist, and it
requires every exertion of the wisest statesmen
to stave off revolution. Here there is not only
no canse for it, but every cause against it; and
when the present causeless rebellion is sup
pressed, as it soon will be, there will be no
danger of Insurrection jot revolution for
another century.
We are thus on the eve of vast changes in
Europe, produced by the American war; for
the French Mexican campaign in the offspring
of our civil war, and will beget a war with
England, whose results will be of the most
tremendous character. As the first American
war?the war of the Revolution?led to the
French Revolution, war with England and the
convulsion of ail Europe, ao will this last war
bo the cause of war and revolution all over
Europe, beginning with England, Which has
done so much to kindle flames of national
discord in Atuerioa, and will new, by a right
?out retribution of Providence, renp tbe due
reward of her deeds. In such a contest with
France she can exj ect no aid or eren sympa
thy from the United States, the only Power on
earth that could save Ler Iron destruction,
-he boa sown the wind: let her now reap the
whirlwind.

Here we have gome very interesting admis
sions. First, it appears tbat tbe people of
Kentucky are too slow in tbis business of abo
lition; that they are not disposed to subscribe
to abolition publications, and that the only
way to introduce sucb reading among them is
by gratuitous circulation. Next, it seems tbat
in Kentucky a gratuitous abolition organ "is
an absolute necessity, as all information upon
the relative value of free and slave labor has
hitherto been persistently and methodically
denied to the people," and that the Union
papers of Kentucky, while supporting the
Union, ignore the discussion of slavery, and ad
vocate "the Union as it was, not the Union re
generated and delivered from the degradation
of slavery, as it ought to be, and, as the only
means of obtaining permanent peace and pros
perity for this nution, it must be." Lastly, it
appears that Kentucky will be content to re
main a slave State, unless pushed into the work
of emancipation by a violent abolition agita
tion from the free States.
This is the mission of Mr. Brennan to New
York?to raise money to get up a violent abo
lition agitation in Kentucky, as a part of that
comprehensive radical abolition schemo of
exasperating this war on the part of the govern
ment into a bloody and remorseless crusade
for the extirpation of slavery throughout the
South. Let our free States assist Mr. Brennan
and* bia abolition eolaborers la the border
slave States, and we may very soon have thsm
boiling over again with all the active elements
of rebellion. The city of New York adheres
to the Union policy of President Lincoln?the
policy of leaviug the question of slavery to the
several States directly concerned and to the
people thereof. We of New York have nothing
to do with sla\ ery in Kentucky, and Mr. Bren
nan has properly no right to come here to beg
for money for the purpose of raising an aboli
tion conflagration in Kentucky. Let him retire
and Wash bis dirty linen at home. Our poor
soldiers and their widows and orphans call for
all the money our citizens in charity can spare.
The slaves of Kentucky, meantime, are doing
very well, and they can wait, at least to the
end of this rsbellion, to be turned loose upon
the world.
The Tax to br Paid in Each State.?^When
we speak of taxing our people to an extent of
$200,000,000 each year, by means of duties im
posed on the foreign and domestic ar
ticles they use, the sum seems alarm
ingly large. When we look at the taxes
in the aggregate it appears that thsfr
imposition must be severely felt by every per
son In tbe land. But the impression naturally
left by tbe long lines of figures we have been
aeoustomed for the past few months to regard,
pi speaking of our national debt, Is entirely er
roneous. The tax will be, to the surprise of
many, scarcely felt by most persons, so evenly
will it eventually be distributed over tbe coun
try. The ocean, vaat ae it is, is made up of sin
gle drops of water.
There is one general principle to be kept in
mind by those persons who rear that tbe tax will
be oppressive?namely, that what one person la
compelled to pay the government another per
son is compelled to pay him ; that this sorapen
sating principle holds good with every change
of ownership,until, at last, the actual consumer
is to pay tbe tax. Now to pay these
taxes there is plenty of money. In addition to
the millions of dollars of specie and
bank n'-itea ordinarily in circulation, there are
tlM) ,000.000 of Treasury notes, more valuable
ttan the best of paper, and almost equal In va
lue to gold itself, la the hand* of the peoples
TLe circulating medium of the country is in
creased by this amount of money. The coua>
try is, practically speak in;.;, just so much richer
than usual, and the people have juHtsomucb
more money in their possession with which to
cancel their obligations. In consequence ot
this increased ability to pay, the levy of taxes
will be less burdensome than at any othe*
time.
it will be interesting to our readers to notice
the following statements of the amounts winch
it is estimated will be required of the inhabi
tants of the different sections and Sut.w. 'i n#
estimates were made by Senator Simmons, oa
the supposition that bis substitute for the Tux
bill would be adopted, and are consequently
too large, as, it will be remembered, the h 11
U calculated to raise but about $110,000,000,
Whereas his substitute was intended to yield
about $155,000,000. The Senator estimates
that in the State* of New York, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and Connecticut the population
reaches 5,746,672, and that the average amount
each individual would be required to pay would
be $3 per annum; in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey that the population is 3,578,000,
and the average tax $2 25 per annum; in
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, the popu
lation 1,369,000, and the tax $1; in Ohio*
Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa*
Minnesota, Kansas. California, Oregon and the
Territories, the "population 9,535,000. the tux
in Ohio $2 and in the other States and Terri
tories named $1 per annum; Maryland and
the District of Columbia, the tax $2; in Delo*
ware, Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri, the
population 3,560,000 (of 618,000 of whom ao
tax could be collected), and the tax $1 per
annum.
It will be seen, therefore, that we of New
York, and our neighbors of Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and Connecticut, will be re
quired to pay a larger sum per capita thua the
inhabitants of any other States, and that this
sum is not $3. It is well that the taxes are so
arranged: fot these States are the richest and
most able to pay.
The consumer of manufactured articles,
whether they be of cotton, iron, wool or otber
material, will be required to pay for the
article consumed a price larger by three per
cent than before the Tax bill went into opera
tion. This tax and that on incomes, from all
sources, are the the principal ones levied.
A dress of cotton material which heretofore
cost $5 will cost only fifteen cents more whea
taxes are laid, which addition is so small as to
be almost imperceptible. So with other arti
cles in oommon use. Thus the three dollars t#
be paid is mads up of little driblets, so that
when the year is ended the consumer knowe
not when or bow be has paid it. The whole
$110,000,000 will have been raised, however,
the credit of the nation sustained, its wort
waged and its victories won.
