®|it Snlmtie. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER. 15,1883. IBIBIEXIS EXPEDITION. We receive the Intelligence or the con template i expedition to Texas, with many misgiviigs, not because we doubt the abil ity of Gen. Banks to conduct it skilfully, hut because we do not sec the object to be accomplished by the movement. We. are ata loss to know why our military author ities should be perpetually fighting the re bellion on its outskirts, when an energetic and well-directed blow at the centre would cut the fio-colled confederacy in two, and speedily reduce each division to obedience to the laws. Bor instance, had the men, whom Gen. Burnside debarked at Roanoke Island, been sent against the rebels in Bast Tennessee, who can doubt that, co-operating with the forces era (be Cumberland, Tennessee and Mfcassbpi, all tbe great lines of commu nication between tbe eastern and western portions of Scccssla, by which the rebel armies li&vc been sent backward and for ward aa they were needed, would have bees cut off, or that our different columns, aggregated near Atlanta, would have been able, long ere this, to have opened their way to tbe Gulf, and thus have made fur ther resistance in Louisiana, Tests, Arkan sas, Jilifcsouri, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi impossible, or of such a charac ter that it could haTo been easily and quickly overborne? Who does not know that, had this been effected, the progress of the Anny of the Potomac, contending only against the forces which the Atlantic States could send to tbe rebel camp, would havebei;n easy; that we should have had no dreary account of defeats and disasters at Richmond and at 801 l Run to put down in the record; and that to-day all men would have been able to say that the rebellion is virtually at an cud? The falsity that has guided the govern ment in the choice of commanders seems to have extended to all their plans of ope rations, and that no more progress has been nu de in the war is due, perhaps, quite as much to the last as to the first It would urquestionably afford the coun try great satisfaction to know that Texas had hour redeeau*d from the disgrace that treason has brought upon her, and that she would take her old place in the Union; but whether the cost of her redemption will not be as great as that of a plan which would detach not only her, but all the Southwestern Slates from the rebel cause, is a question that the government seems not to have considered. We hope that the popular report the Texas expedition ia erroneous, and that the obvious policy at which-vc have billed will be that adopt ed at last. llAUI>Ett’S (<£KUT. "We publish elsewhere the official report of the military commission appointed to investigate tue facts of the surrender of Harper a Ferry.

Before noticing tbc incidents at the openln Ol the Chicago and Northwestern Railway to Green B»y on Thursdiy, a lew facta in rela tion to tbc location of the road and its im portance to tbe country through which It passes, and which lies beyond Its present ter minus, will net be unacceptable to our read era. The line for the first hundred miles, reachirg to MU ton Junction—runs through oca of the richest and most beautiful sections of the ‘Wist. Scattered along tbe line, like gems upon a necklace, are a large number Oj protptruns Tillages, whose tfcrilly appearance gives afrut.nce of the highly productive country ly wuichlbty are surrounded. Janes ville, <iu llocs UiTtr, ;s one of; the largest and most teauU-m s,.uad cHcs ol the West, North ft f Miltou Junction, the road, for SCiuecxty or eighty m»lc», follows up the valley of Rock River. In the immediate vicin ity of the real the country is heavily limbered, and to the tje not so inviting as me firs* sec tion cl the route. Bat the fine cities of Fort Atkiuron, J» tier son and Watertown are the . outgrowth of tbs rich farming country that lies at a little distance on each tide from the river valley. Alter leaving Rock River, the road perciw tie tie msgufictot prairies that sur round the heamiml city of Fond du Lac. Then It fkirts along the western shore of Like innelwgo, crossing Fox River at Oshkosh, one of tbc largest lumber marts In tbs State. No section of the West produces finer wheat than the country about Fond du Lie and Oab koab, North of the latter city, pissing through Applcon, where are located some of it* most j-rofp*Tons and best endowed educa tional intliiu ions ol the Weal, the road lol lows down tbe west bank of tbe Fox, reach ire the bead of Green Bay, 242 miles from Chicago, at the city which hears its name. Bat while the road runs through a rich and rapidly developing country, it is, if possible, -atCI more Important with reference to the trade and travel which it will receive from, tbe country beyond its present terminus. It will ’■ control all me winter trade and travel to Lake •Superior, and a large share of both daring the summer. As soon as spring opens, a line of stages will nm regularly across tbe peninsula in connection with a steamer on Green Bay, from little Bay doNoquct to Marquette on Lake Superior. The distance is only fifty-jive miles, A party ol engineers are now survey ing the route for a radway, turf U!a believed that within * y.-ar ibe road «*ill ba Pj.hM'J. CcTiifßMs ~i h 'As V-terest have takes kola ol tho TTbrlc. They hare abundant mesne, sod it is believed they can make it pay s handsome profit on the In vestment. A railway ie already built from Harquette to the mines, and it n. quires but .ferty-sevea miles more to con nect it with Green Bay. It 'has always been found difficult to get vessels enough to Lake Superior to cany off the pro duct of the mines; bat It Is believed that it will be different if the road is completed south to Green Bay. The Lake Bapsrior iron ore is now largely used in the furnaces of Ohio and Pennsylvania, to mis with local orea of inferior quality. We learn that about 150,000 tons were all that could be got eastward dur ing the past season, while the market would readily have absorbed twice the amount. With a railway south to Green Bay, the de mand fer ore, it is believed, could have been fully supplied. The opening of this line win have a very stimulating effect upon our Northwestern road, os it will give it a large business, and force tbe building of a hundred and forty miles of road along the west side of Green Bay, to connect the two lines, at an early day. We seed hardly dwell upon the value and the Importance of the Lake Superior trade. There are the largest and .the richest Iron and copper deposits to be found In any country. Tens of thousands of people are now there, develop ing these mines, and with proper faculties for marketing tbe products, they can be Increased almost indefinitely. We have heretofore stated that when spring opens passengers will reach Lake Superior In thirty-six hours from this city. The time will bs divided as follows; from Chicago to Green Bay the first day; Green Bay to Bay du No qnetby steamer daring the night; and by Stage fifty-five rules the next day to Mar quette. Begular lines of steamers will ply daily between Marquette and and all the ports on Lake Superior. It is scarcely necessary to add that this route will at once command nearly all the travel and a large share of the trade ia light goods, between this city and Lake Su perior, It was therefore fitting that the opening of thirty miles of road connecting a line of so much importance with Green Bay, should be attended with an appropriate czmnnA.Tioir. According to programme, a party of some fifty gentlemen with their ladies, from among onr leading firms and citizens, left for Green Bayou Wednesday morning. It was deter mined that an event of so much importance should be celebrated with due deliberation lienee the party stopped at the arrival of the train at Oshkosh, and spent the evening in a very pheasant “bop” at the Seymour House. On Thursday morning several other guests were added to the party from this city and' Milwaukee, and the gay party started for Green Bay. Arriving about 12 o’clock a fine s tetmtrwas iu readiness and gave us an ex clusion of an hour down the Bay, Returning, ample tables were spread by the good citizens of Green Bay, loaded with all the luxuries of the season, to which their guests did the most liberal and consuming justice. The address of welcome was then made by Judge Howe of G?cen Bay, United Stages Senator, In one of the most appropriate snd amusing speeches we ever heard on such an occasion. Appro priate responses were then made to toasts by Hen. Perry IL Smith vice-president o! the road. Hon, Senator Doolittle of Wisconsin, Qon. Mr. Eldridge ot Ford du Lac, recently elected to the House of Representatives, U. S , Its T. Many, esq., and Dr. Dyer of Chicago, Mayor Baird of Green Bay, Mr, Bross of the Chicago Tam u>e, and perhaps several others, whose names have escaped us. Everything passed off in in the best oi humor, and, hosts and guests, all seemed delighted with the occasion and all it*> incidents. At 4 o’clock the party left for Fond du Lac, whose citizens united with them in a dance ard most- pleasant social party at Amory Hull. Yesterday the regular train brought them to Chicago, without any incident to mar tie pleasure of one of the finest excursions ever enjoyed by our citizens. This will be fully understood when we state that the Light * Guard Band furnished the music and the party were under the unce&slog care of lion, Peiry B. Smith, vice-president. Geo. L. Dunlap, rrq superinterdent, his assistant Mr. Strong, E. Dewitt Robinson, esq., general ticket agent, and Mr. Lee, the treasurer of the road. We clr-c by repeating what every one at ail conversant with the subject knows, that the Northwestern Railway is one of the best and most important roads leading out of the city. May its pi osperity be perpetual. Arclibltliop Hushes on the Draft. The New York Metropolitan JT.tropolU-in JJecord punli-bes a letter from Uncbes to Gov, Seward, in which he reviews hifi own course during the list year in con* nt ciion with his vhit to Europe, and pre* bents his views in rcgirJtolaeprosecu’ioa of the war. The Archbishop says he labored constantly in Europe for peace between Ea* tope and America, and to set the European mind right. He, however, found no love there for tie United States. Coming home, he reached the conclusion, and expressed it from thepwli'l% that “either hr volunteers or by conscription, if we have a government which we recognize as legitimate, it should multiply its power by thousands, and ooudreds of taou sacds, even millions, to the extent of existing necessity for the putting duwu of civil war.” Of the two methods of raising troops he de cidedly preferred drafting, “ as the only lair, oj.i n, benefit mode by which a nation can snp* pc*t its rights, and, in case of danger, Its own incepted* nee.** If rightly administered, the Archbishop says the dmti is untqnalcd as an efficient means ol raising an army of defense, and tint It should only be dispensed with when volun teers are so numerous as to render drafting mtless. Tfce Archbishop urges that this war be ended as speedily as possible, and he observes that so far as his knowledge ol history war rants a conclusion, the most humane battle in aiy military strife, whether of a foreign or domestic character, has been invariably the tattle v7M, put an nid to the ?«r. lie doi* Lot believe that p*. ace can be secured without bloodshed, bat he is willing to give bis efforts in bthalf of any means lor honorably closing the war.

The fact was not noticed by the it specters, and they were counted for Mr. Sleeper. The change elects Mr. Rica by twenty-two majority. The Tory friends of Capt. Sleeper will make an attempt to secure tbe certificate of election for him, from the fact that the returns bad been made to tbs S« cretary of State about two hours before the mistake was discovered, and that the Sscre faiy Las no right to go behind the return* thus etnthlm.

It is a presidential act, second only to 1 the emancipation proclamation itself. Btvera of patriot blood have run, and a thousand j hearthstones been vacated by the hands of men in high places, whose hearts'were not in the cause of our hapless Union; and while these were doing the work of demons la life field, thousands were at home proclaiming their loyalty and efficiency from every hill-top and public hall, and thus tucccsded, by the aid of the endearing name “Democracy,” to fill onr legislative balls with minds deeply imbued with treason, who by their own vile sets would call the army home and treat with traitors on terms of their own selection. In conclusion, allow me to say that your correFpondent is cue of those God-forsaken Democrats, who. In the eyes of traitors, turned Abolitionists before the echo ot Sam teris first gun bad ceased, to reverberate over the fertile fields of Illinois; and, as I said in a recent communication to a friend, I am proud that I once belonged to that patriotic, noble creed, but prouder still that I buried my fond attachments iu an honored tomb, when treason stole the name.

Here I found my further progress stayed by a strin gent order issued by Major General Hnrlbnt, forbidding the passage of civilians south of Jackson. Of course I was compelled to re main over night at Jackson. In tbe morning Gen. Hurlbut, at the intercession of friend*, consented to modify hie order and alio «r me to visit the army of Tennessee. This morning, just as I left Jackson, I re ceived the information of a moat important reconnoisiance made in the direction of Holly Springe, under command of Maj. Gen. Mc- Pherson, > few particulars of which I for warded yon by telegraph. This little affair is characterized by all with whom I have come in contact aa an exceedingly brilliant and gal lant enterprise. lam not sufficiently familiar with the topography of the locality to ven ture upon a detailed description, hut the fact that 134 prisoners were taken, and sixteen known to be killed, besides a large number wounded, would indicate that our troops were excellently well led, and fought bravely and gallantly. From this on, I shall be with the advance, and hops to be able to give de tails of all movements, skirmishes and recoil" noiesancee, so that I can give a correct gene ral idea, and reader them intelligible to your readers. Besides the positive results accomplished in the capture of prisoners killing and wound ing of the enemy, the reconnoissance wag important in that It establishes the fact that the rebels are not in any considerable force this side of Holly Springs. soyniEßK hotels. I have heard much of the excellence of Southern hotels, and generous, open-handed Southern hospitality; but judging from the specimens which have come under my own observation, I am led to the conclusion that both are myths. There arc plenty of birn like structures, where rye coffee and stale meats are nerved to the traveler for the inevi table u four bits a meal, sir.” The private dwellings are famished with no better accom modations. An officer of my acquaintance, who is inordinately fond of “fritters,” just dropped into a dwelling in Jackson, a day or two since, where this delicacy was smoking hot upon the table, and very politely asked to shore the meal with the Imdlady. She gra-' clously complied, and asked him to he seated. : “ Will you take these * twinkley twinkle,’ or on tbe* dab?’” My friend was entirely igno rant of the meaning of these terms, bat at a venture chose the former. He was soon en lightened. The ancient female dipped her not-over-dean fingers into a tumbler of mo lasses standing beside her, and allowing tbe drippings to full upon the delicacy, presented It to him aa “ twinkley twinkle.” “Oa the dab” was a spoonful of treacle noon the cen tre of the ** fritter.” In some hotels sheets and table-cloths are convertible terms, and the former do double duty.

This, I thiek, Is the first murmur that has gone up from the regiment, end if i*3 wrong, I'll rescind all that I hive major General Gilbert* All that Is known si Major Gen. Gilbert (?) before he mounted the double eagle on his tliculder straps, is, that he was an obsequious toady to his master, Don Carlos Buell, for whom he was acting as a brigade quartermas ter with the rank of captain. He preferred the charges against Gen. Tnrchin, on which the latter was tried, and certified on his honor from his personal knowledge, that they were true, when im fact he knew nothing about their truth or falsity. The charges were pre pared by Don Carlos himself, and fathered by his man Friday. For doing this infamous job Carlos appointed Gilbert a m ijor general, and gave him command of a whole army corps of SO,COO men. In a review of Buell’s campaign a correspondent of the New York Tribune says: In conclusion, I -will sends, singular discov ery made in regard to Gen. Gilbert daring the campaign. Some time after the tiifa, Gen. Kouebean, in whom Gilbert’s failure to send prompt aifiifitance to Geo. McCook, and pre vent the taming of Lytle’s brigade had ava . kened no very high opinion dt* his general ‘ ship, and had some donhts aroused by rumors as to Gilbert’s actual rank, addressed a note ot irquiiy upon the subject to Geu. BueiL The Utter sent it to Giiot-rt, who wrote on the &sck of it, “I am a mapr general by toe appointment of Muj, Gen, Wright.” As the latter had, of course, no right to give him eucd rank, Gilbert appealed at oace iu the pait ot a pretender, i'he indication of the Teteran general officers in h s corps, nx>on finding tnemselves imposed upon by au inca pable without actual rank, miy be imagined. Gen. Buell himself professed (?) the utmost astonishment at the disclosure. The com mand of the corpse has since been taken trom him. Brief as bis career as a corps commiud* er Las been, it was long enough to prove him not only au incompetent cl the first water, hut to make himself os unpopular iu his corps as Butll old to the whole army.

Missouri Democrat: 1 have just been'reading in the Chicago Times, an article beaded “Impeachment of Governor Yates,” and as it makes the blood of ail IlJiLols boys boil to read such slanders, \ must say a few words in relation to it. In the first place, let me s»y that the demand for* the latest news here in the army is Insatiable, and that although we prefer Uuionpapers, wu arcclten compelled to sick news in such pi j ers as that vile tlnet, known as the Chicago Times. I have never voted the Republic** ticket but one?,.but with thousands of Demo crats, I would vaicl' to ull eternity, with such men as Abraham Lincoln at the head of it, and such Governors as Richard Yates. I enrolled my mine at the first call of the President, and have had an opportunity to know, and do kuoir, the sencimen's of'the army; and I believe ihatif the editor of the Tithfe knew these sentiments ns I do, he would put his band in the fire, ere he would insult the army, ns he has, by such an article &b that m reference to Gov. Yues. R : cbard Yates has occupied a most responsible Dost, and most nobly has done his duty. He IS loved, I might say, worshipped, by all the legions which Illinois has sent info the field. Dc I*3 onr long tried friend, while the Chicago 2'itnts has proved itself to be our enemy; the enemy of our cause, our flag, onr liberty, and our country. It the Decaccratic soldiers of the 9th Illinois iuantry possessed tho power, they would throw the press of toe Chicago ' r im*s Into the middle a I Lske Michigan, and Ecud its traitor editor South, where we could shoot him as ccrding to the rules ol war, or treat him to a c. at-of tar and feathers, and a halter at home. About 130,000 ot Illinois 1 most loyal and pat riotic tons, have voluntarily exiled themselves ireui the ballot box, aud from home, for the purpose of saving our nation from, anarchy ; and rain; and, although macy pitriots are stid at home, all of the conservatives, all of the Inkew. rm, all of the cowards and traitors are there; aud as 130,000 loyal administration sustaltlz-g voice are excluded, these conserva tive, traitors and cowards rejoice in bring able to carry the election, in some places as tht-y please. Let them bear in mind this fact: we have started out to save our nation irom ruin, and we wdl do so, though we have to elect a military dictator; aud rest assured that rebels in the South will be put dawn nr wiped out, and that ia tho end traitors in the North will i«ay the penalty of their treachery. One million of .loyal soldiers in the field, who arc not fighting for any section or any race of people, but those who love our con stimtion and Union—defy traitors North and South. Our regiment started for the field over 1,000 strong, and although Icwiuve died by disease, we can now muster 240 men. Tue balance have either been maimed for life, and hive been cast off to drag out their miserable ex istence os best they can, or their bones are bleaching at Donricon, Shiloh, WaiteUaase or Coriutb.

[From the St. Louis Daily Union.] It must not be forgotten by the people of this State tbit the masuaDimous oiler ot the general government will not always be open. It still requires Congressional action. If not accepted now; if acrion onourpirt be defer red until the 4th of March, it is hardly proba ble that a Democratic .Congress will lalliil the pledges made. On that point, we are willing to accept the the central orgin of the Illinois Democracy (the Strife PrgisJcr) as an authority. It becomes, therefore, oi vital importance to ns that we act at once. Now is the accepted time. If this golden opportunity for com pensation if sphered to pass unimproved, and slave property in Mi-aouri becomes an utter loss to its owners, they can only blame th-dr own folly. Any efforts which look to ward the removal of slavery, even by the act of the slave owners themselves, Is sure to incur the condemnation and opposition of tbat party which lovee slavery better than peace and Union. Wc must act daring the present Congress or we cannot act at all. No proposition is more evident to a mind rot wholly under the influence of pro-slavery bigotry, than that the president’s proposition is, in a finance! aspect, among the cheapest modes of restoring peace witmu the limits of Missouri. Already millions on millions of dollars have been expended hers la the effort to Suppress the rebellion, yet the Smte con tains to-day more thin 50,009 federal troops. Notwithstanding the enormous expenditures that have been nude, the contest goes on and the expenditures must go on too. If slavery were removed, every one knows that peace la this State would be at once restored. Toe area ot the rebellion would be, by so much, diminished, and the forces now necessary to protect this State could at once advance into Arkansas and Texas. The allegiance of Mis souri would be rendered permanent and In destructible. The policy should challenge the commendation and support of all loyal men, simply as a question of national econ omy, and still more as an effective blow at the rebellion. That it will be of immense and lasting benefit to the State adopting it, is acrtainly no valid objection. |g" The bark Restless, a sailing craft of onr navy, has made no less than seventeen captures of priz-s (English and rebsl) since the 14th of February last.

Bane Attempt to Throw Out Totes Eaonsh to Defeat LoveioT* [From the Peoria Transcript.] The following private letter from a gentle man in Henry county, was received last eve ning; Eaxkabeb, HL November 11,1881. Dhas Sib :—Yours of the init. request inwmy attention to the canvass of tbe votes in Henry county, came to hand in due time. Receiving another ot like import from another source, induced me think there was an outside pressure going to hs brought to bear upon the canvassers. We had noted tbe delay our selves but supposed the votes had not all been returned, ana knowing the officers who would be likely to make tbe canvass, though Demo crats, were men of good character, we enter tained no doubts that It would be doue hon estly. Yesterday morning before 4 o’clock, I was aroused by aloud knock at my door and found two friends on their way to see tbe canvass. From them I learned that Fisher and others of the mongrel crew from Bureau, hod been over on a mission to Cambridge to see what could be done to help our poor Tom. We arrived there early in the morning and found everything quiet on the outside. L tie in tbe afternoon me canvass began. Tom’s friends bad Burnett and Hinman to assist. They objected for all sorts of reasons to all the returns, and then to each of them, and then twice over to all of them. Then came Jut. Stevei s and Jo. V. Tuompsou and Dr. Winter of Bureau, to see the work finished. They tried the bullying game, but failed. Finally, at half post 1 p. m., the work was completed, the enemy had retired, and the fooutg was as follows: Lovpjoy 2 023 Henderson , '962 Graham 51W LoveJoj’s majority over Henderson 1,061 Over both competitors 403 After the town of.

Commanding Army of the Potomac. Col. Thomas Snell. [From the Clinton (DL) Public,] Onr readers will recollect the dispatch pub lished a week or two ago in our paper, to the iflecl that Col. Snell, of the 107 th regiment, wag under arrest. We then knew nothing ox the circumstances. Having since learned the particulars, we take pleasure in relating them as they come to us. It will be remembered that belora his regi ment,'was mastered into service, he frequent ly declared he would never guard rebel prop erty; and the tfeqnel shows bow determined ly he inhered to iris vow. ’ Going into Kentucky, his regiment was plag<d under command ot Gca. Buell, who ordered him to guard certain prooerrj which be had reason* to think belonged to* rebels. Calling his men Into line, he reminded them of. his promise never to call upon them to protect xbe property of rebels Tnree rousing tberrs resounded through the air, sad they resolved to stand by their commander; where upon be was ordered to report at Louisville, there to stand trial for disobedience of orders. When asked if he intended to persist in dis obeying the command of his superior officer, he straightened himself to an unusual bight, and In a dear, loud voice, expressed himself willing to do anything required ot him, that would aid the country; nut as to guarding rebel property, he ipo«W not do ft for aiv liv ing being. They might atrip hi-n of his sword and straps, degrade Aim to the lovut position of the army , imprison him., place him in irons, but nothing could sreerv: him from hit purpose oj disobeying that order. This is.all we know; hut os the colonel has since been at liberty, we conclude that no further notice was taken of the matter. We learn th*t he is again nodi r arrest, but upon what charge, wc have not beard. Spirit of onr Amy. [From the New York Thaos.} Our correspondents witn tw army, who write since the removal of Gen. McClel- l?n, do not mention any indications of that mutinous spirit which some who knew nothing about the army feared might ensue npcs the displacement of a commander whom, the toldiers honored and loved. On the con trary, several letters which we publish this morning, from correspondents with different corps of the army ot the Potomac, expressly state that the army is well sititfied with the change, and that the soldiers in general are delighted at the prospect of more active and effective work under Gen. Burnside. The appointment of Geu. Bnrnside, if It have any significance at all, signifies that un der him they are quickly to "he gratified in this respect —which to them is far “more than any minor kindnesses ot on inefficient officer, or any attentions to Lhfir cases after they are half rained through inactivity acd the shovel. If Gen. Bnrcside gives the army ot the Poto mac work aud victory—as it is ia Ms power to do—there will soon be honor aed love for him on the part of the troops greater even than there has been hitherto, and far warmer than anything that has yet been exhibited toward any commander.; The Slavery Fight an Russia. The troubles of slavery are not confined to the United States, but a restored by Rassia, a ration more like onr own than any other in the world—a nation rough indeed, la mach'ot its population, as it Is in the surface of its country, embracing within Its limits a vast expanse of thinly settled territory, which answers to onr great unsettled regions in tac valley oi the Salt Lake, and about the head waters of the Red, Arkansas and Missouri Rivers. Both nations are rough, hardy and vigorous, not yet grown to their prime, and when Jully matured, will yet rule the worli. In Russia, as here, has existed serfdom and slavery. From the harsh and'severe Emperor Nicholas has descended a son who has inherit ed much of his lather’s energy, bat who ap plies itupon etlirged views for the prosperity of bU humbler surjects, rather than npoa this formation of troops, as did his father. The Empetor Alexander has decreed the freedom of the serfs. The decree met with the violent opposition of land owners. His plans were fur this reason delayed, but not given up. With some modification They have been suc cessfully carried out, and among ten millions of serfs, more than lonr millions have com pleted with their owners the arrangement, for baying their freedom. Tns rrsalc is cheer ing. It is not a year since the first move ments for the freedom of the lower classes were made by the emperor, and within this short period, without war or anarchy, the re lations ol a great people with each other are revolutionised. Within a brief period the United State* may see the end of the never ending disturbances about the negro. One result Is not more difficult thin the other. A. 7.

[From the Blchmond Examiner, Nov. B.J ] The greatness of America in s recent rare iation to Europe. .With the Korth mid South . confederated under the old government the 1 United States possessed s mlUtaiy power and ' an abundance of resources of which her citi- t zesa,tven in the excesses of their self com- 3 placetcy, never; dreamed.' Bat few minds in . Europe had any idea of the power o( the young- * giant ofthe Western-world?' One or two ol 1 their public men, as'Cavour; or.'Napoleon, , might have apprehended, by the force of taeir cecius, :the military magnitude of America. Bnt it was generally a dim speculation in Eu rope. Oar boasta of military prowesfrwere J frequently ridiculed by the EogUsh-prass and CKd as transatlantic blunter. Bat this war shown that even these bouts fell fir short of the reality. It has revealed to the world an enormous power that overshadows whatever there is of military display in modem history, and has amazed the most arrogantHatlons of Europe. f Within eighteen months of this war, the North and South have raised armies larger than those of the first Napoleon; iron clad fleets have been launched capable of destroy ing the combined navies of England and France; 2,000,000 of men have been put in the field; and yet this internal system of the industry of the country and the ordinary pur suits of peaee have been but little interrupted, unless from the exceptional cause of the blockade of the Southern seacoast. Had the North and South continued as one nation there could scarcely have been any limit to the achievements of their military power. England could never have checked U. We could have overrun the continent, taken Canada in the teeth of a combination of all the European powers, and crushed Eagland alone as an egg shell under the hammer. The bloody and unhappy revelation which this war has xnsde of enormous military re sources has naturally given to Europe, aud especially to England, an extraordinary inter est in its •ontinnation. Nothing eonld be more contrary to the wishes and policy of England than that the war should end la re uiiting the North and South, and consoli dating and renewing in rivalry to her a mili tary power which la now wasted la Interne cine strife. That the Union never shall be restored is a foregone and settled conclusion with the British government. It would not now hesitate for a moment to recognize the South, unless firmly per suaded of our ability and resolution to carry on the war, and unless It bad another object to gain besides that of a permanent division in the nationality and power of her old rival. That object is the exhaustion of both North and South. England proposes to effect the continuation of this war, as far as posslole, to the mutual ruin ol the two nations engaged in it by standing aside and trusting that after vast expenditures of blood and waste of re sources, the separation of the Union will be quite as surely accomplished by the self-devo tion of the South as by the less profitable mode of lb. e. gu intervention. To the advan tages she hopes to gain from this separation, she desires to add those which she expects from loss and min to both Northand Souch la a long war. Her present policy of neutrality with reference to the war is rounded in the confidence that the South is able to achieve her independence, and that the prolongation of hostilities does not risk her subjugation. In this unchristian and inhuman calculation England bus rightly estimated the spirit aud resolution of the South. We are prepared to win our independence with the Great prices of blood and eufiering that England has named. But we understand her in tais matter. Be hind her mask of conscience and Pharisaical precision, there lurks a hideous and devilish purpose. 101 .411 Gen lew TTatiaco. [From the Indianapolis Juarnal, 13th.] "We learn, by a dispatch Irom Cincinnati last night, that Gen. Lew Wallace has been ordered back to that city by G*-n.

The London correspondent of the PMlidel piiia/n'/iarcrgiTes the following account of the kil’irg of Capt.

He was of course arrested, and is now .in prison at Gibraltar. Steamer Denmark: Sunk. The steamer Denmark, bound from St Paul to St Louis, and expected hero oo Tuesday, failed to arrive on account of sinking. Waca she bad arrived at the head of Atla-Island, a point well known below Keokuk, she ran upon a enag, which tore her hull badly, and caused her to sink in a few minutes in the middle of the river, in eight feet of .water. The Warsaw, bound down, arrived at tho scene soon after, and on herCapt. J. J. Rob inson and other officers of the Danmark took passage to this city. From Capt- R )hin son we learn that the boat, valued at $12,000, is not insured, and will probably prove a total loss. There is not a great deal of f in jured. We bellevcthcn; are about 400 bags of potatoes in the bold. A host has probably already pone up the river from this port to bringdown the freight.— St. Louis Democrat 137 A, Latest from Fort Scott. [From the Lesveaworth Conservative, 12th.] A force of about twenty-five men from Fort Scott met Lcvengstou with about 100 men, on Dry Wood, twelve miles below Fort Seott, on Saturday, and after a sharp skirmish, in which we lost two men, the rebels w*»re routed with a loss of five or six men. Our forces are in pursuit. All else quiet along the border. The report is generally believed that Qaaatrell is taken or killed. How £lO Stolen were Recovered, and How the “Northerners” Got a Soldier, —ln July last, Christopher Wagner, a Ger man, who occupied apartments at No. 40 Sun street, robbed a fellow lodger named Alexan der yilier, of 101., and absconded. Applica tion was made to the detective police station, and the case was pbced in the hands of Couz ens, ah ingenious office of the force. Couz ..eta obtained information that the man “want ed” bad token a steerage passage for New York in the name of Carl Guht, on the ship Constantine, on the 26ih July. Under these circumstances the idea of recovering the thief weg abandoned, as under the Extradition Act the amount involved would not piy expenses. How to recover tho mcney, therefore, next became the question, and the Ingenuity of i Couzens, aided by one of the detectives on the other side of the Atlantic, proved lostru mvntal In doing so. Couzens wrote a letter to a New York detective, distinguished for his shrewdness, named Family, informing him of the ship in which Wagner would arrive, aad icstractinghim when he got possession of Ms man to “bounce” the money out ot him. Couzcd’b letter went by the mill boat, and of course arrived before tne Constantine reached port. On the arrival of the latter vessel at New York, Farrolly was in walling to receive Heir Wagner, whom he charged with hiving stolen 101, for which, he arid, if he did not re fund, he would he sent hack to Liverpool for trial. The latter was a contingency the ac cused was glad to avoid at all sacrifice, but XL 3s. 6J., was the whole of the money be was possessed of. The ingenuity of Mr Family seelfeted him to avoid the penalty of a crim inal prosecution in Eugland. The “North erners” wanted solcier.%; the bounty was good; the 107. could thus be rai°cd, with balance In favor of the recruit. Wagner en listed, receiving a bounty of eighty dollar*, out of which he paid the amount demanded, which was at once transmit tel to Couzeus and by Mm handed over to Miller.— Liverpool Lost. A Dark Joke. —Our excellent sheriff found two contrabands at Urge yesterday, bat In stead oi putting them in j ail, as usual, sent them over to this office to obtain permits t* stay in the State. We cheerfully accept it as a very highly colored joke, and of remarkable point ana pith; and so lir as we are concern ed he is welcome to do it seven times a week if agreeable. Bat isn’t it rattier a small trans action tor a public officer, invested with grave and responsible duties, to thus lower himself to impose on the credulity of ignorant rein geos from Democratic treason ? We are glad to state that the blacks went away from this office with no less money than when they came, which Is a fact theyare likely to appreciate mere keenly than cow if they are ever obliged to sleep in a Democratic jail.
