This, it seems, may beet be done by defaming those Free States which are most strongly opposed to it. The New England States have best deserved this enmity. Those States have for generations been the pride of every liberal-minded Englishman and the admira tion of the world. Their freedom, their order, their morality, their liberal culture have been attested and celebrated by British and foreign travellers of all ranks, religions, and opinions. This alone would entitle them to the hatred of the South. Their civilization condemns its barbarism, their growth its stagnation, their regular and varied industry its aversion to labour, their intelligence its debasing and increasing ignorance. But above all, New England has committed the unpardonable sin of admitting the negro to citizenship and to a full share of the blessings of civilization. By elevating the black man, and in troducing him to positions and functions in which be displays high intelligence and morality, it has shown the world how base is the conduct of the South in first keeping the negro in ignorance and immorality, and then making his degradation an excuse for continued wrong. These are some of the reasons why the New England States are dan gerous to the South, and why they are hated su perlatively by the friends of slavery on both aides of the Atlantic. But if it was expedient to vilify the New Eng landers by accusing them of a monstrous design, it was worth while to do it with more plausibility than was achieved yesterday by a contemporary who undertook the business. When we read that it is proposed to excite &servile insurrection, "incite " four millions of blacks to murder, lust and rapine " upon the unguarded plantations of the South," and " organize a series of Cawnpores," all we learn from it is that some of the advocates of the South are very audacious, and that it is hoped that some of their readerswill be very ignorant. We shall not insult our readers with any serious com ment on this cock-and-bull story. The writer has probably heard or read that it has been proposed to make this • war for the abolition instead of • war for the restriction of slavery, and for that purpose to carry the Federal army again into the enemy's country. We do not know what proba bility there is of the execution of this plan, which it seems to us would have been far more likely to be attended with success a year ago than now. Neither shall we say a single word to stimulate the people of the Free States to further sacrifices of life. They have poured out enough of their blood to have earned the right to sheathe the sword. But if, remembering that only a few months ago the South was reduced to straits as great as those in which they are now placed, they are not dis posed to accept the issue of the recent struggle as final, we sincerely hope they will take the course which so alarms our contemporary, and carry liberty to as many slaves as they can approach. Six months ago it was computed that a hundred thousand slaves had escaped from their masters and gained the Federal lines ; and the number would have been doubled had not some of the Northern commanders loved slavery more than the Republic. Had Mr. LINCOLN'S Government accepted the offer of some of his best generals to organize in regiments and brigades so many of these men as were willing to serve, placing them under white officers, he would have done what be is now urged to do, and in so doing he would have taken the best security against a wild and disorderly rising of the slaves. We do not, however, see any probability of the immediate adoption of this plan. While Generals Hanzeit and M'azi.tarr are at the head of the armies of the Union, we may be sure it will not be sanctioned. The Secessionists, indeed, tell us that those who devise such plans are reckoning without any real knowledge of the raoe ; that the negroes are warmly attached to their masters ; that all through the contest they have been work ing cheerfully ; and that wherever they have been brought into contact with the Federal it has only been to show their goodwill to the Confederate cause. We believe that no fact in the war is better established than this, that whenever the slaves had a chance of escape they ran for it. However, if the negroes have shown so mnch fidelity and attachment to their masters as we are told they have shown under severe trials, then the least THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVAIONG, SEPTEMBER 20, 1862 they deserve is to be no longer robbed of the price of their daily labour, and forbidden to have Shalt children taught to read. There As a short say of checkmating unwelcome visitors from the Nor& Let them find that they have been mistaken as to the character of the South, and that "the chi " valry" have only been waiting for some favour able opportunity to do right by their work people. Nothing but a very severe pressure— nothing but a pressure as strong as that of war—will induce them to do this; but if it were done, it would be a re sult worth a considerable sacrifice. To break down the barrier which keeps the mean whites from honest industry would be to add at once and enormously to the material resources of the Southern States, to arrest their descent into deeper barbarism, and to give them an upward and on ward impulse, of which there has long been no ex perience, and is at present no prospect. England especially would gain, both by the conversion of five millions of poverty-stricken idlers into well to-do consumers of our manufactures, and by the establishment of her cotton supply on the basis of free labour, with abundance, certainty, and cheap ness as its consequence. The States now free would gain when a perennial cause of quarrel had been removed and when their Southern neigh bours had increased their interest in the preservation of peace. But although the greatest gainers by such a step would be the people of the South themselves, it is morally certain that they will never take it except under coercion from with out. Motives more powerful and feelings more profound than any which arise out of interest make the white inhabitants of the South cling to slavery as to life itself. LATEST INTELLIORNCE. CIRCULAR OF THE !TALUS 90VERN MENT ON THE ROMAN QOXISTION. The following is the full text of General Durando's circular note to the Italian represents tives abroad : TO THE CHEVALIER DE JOCTILI.L Ttuin, Sept. 10. Sir,—The attitude taken by the King's government sines the attempt of Bernice afforded ground for belief that General t:aribaldi would thenceforward renounce enter prises incompatible with established order and of a nature to compromise Italy in its relation with foreign govern ments. This expectation has been frustrated. Led astray by sentiments which respect for law and a juster appreciation of the state of things ought to have restrained, and too accessible to the incitements of the sect better known by its victims than its successes, he did not quail before the pros pect of civil war, and wished to make himself the arbiter of the alliances and destinies of Italy. By favour of the recollections left in Sicily by the events of 18430, he was enabled to assemble in that island some bodies of volunteers, but the population; divided betworn the sympathylh which a claiming (rEvenditation) of Rome could not fail to awaken within them, and regret at seeing this claim assume the character of a revolt, did not bee him pass through their midst without uneasiness and sadness. The parliament disapproved of his proceedings, ►nd the King himself, whose name he never ceased to invoke, called upon him to submit to the laws. All was useless. He traversed Sicily, aLd entered Catania, everywhere finding a weloome full of salutary warning, which, however, be could not understand. From Catania he at length paucd over to the mainland with 3,000 men, thus compelling the King's government to order an immedi►te and complete suppression of his proceedings. It was then that, met by a detachment of the Royal army, he was taken with his 1 adherents. The facts that i have just briefly recapitulated will leave no other trace among us than a painful recollection. The harmony of the public mind, founded upon • unani mous attachment to exalted principles, could tot be troubled. These facts have, however,a significance which you will point out to the government to which you are accredited. They are • testimony of the political maturity of those popu lations whose freedom dates from yesterday ; of the desire of Italy to see its destinies accomplished by regular means, and of the indissoluble ties which ur.ite the nation to the constitutional monarchy, the supreme expression of the will of the country. They afford, besides, fresh proof of the fidelity and discipline of the srmy, the constant and safe guardian of the national independence. The European cabinets must not, however, misunderstand the true meaning of events. Law has carried the day, but it must be admitted that the watchword of the volute. tears was this time the expression of a want more imperative than ever. The whole nation claims the capital; it has only lately resisted the inconsiderate impulse of Garibaldi, because convinced the King's government would be able to accomplish the mandate which it has received from par- liament respecting Rome. The problem may have changed its aspect, but the urgency of • solution only becomes more cogent. In presence of the shocks, daily becoming more and more serious, which recur in the Peninsula, the powers will com prehend that Italy has made a supreme and final effort in treating as an enemy a man who had rendered such signal services, and upheld a principle which exists in the mind of all Italians. They will feel that the Italians, in seconding the sovereign without hesitation in the crisis which has just been passed, understood how to unite all their strength around the legitimate representative of their rights, in order that entire justice may be►t length rendered them. After this victory, obtained in some sort over herself, Italy no longer needs to prove that her cause is that of European order. It has been sufficiently shown what sacrifices she is capable of making, in order to keep her engagements, and Europe is notably aware that she will keep those she has undertaken and which she is still ready to undertake relative to the liberty of the Holy See. Henceforth the powers ought, therefore, to assist ill in dis sipating the prejudices which still exist to prevent Italy from finding rest and reassuring Europe. The catholic nations, and, above all, France, who has so constantly laboured in the world in defence of the interests of the church, will recognise the danger of any longer main taining an anterniem between Italy and the Papacy, the sole cause of which is to be found in the temporal power, and of tiring out the spirit of moderation and conciliation with which the Italian people have hitherto shown them selves animated. Such a state of things is no longer tenable, and would end by entailing extreme consequences upon the governmeut of the King, the responsibility of which could not weigh on us alone, and would seriously compromise the religious interests of catholicism and the tranquillity of Europe. I request you, Monsieur le Minister, to read this despatch to the President of the Federal Council, and to leave with him a copy of the same.—Receive, &c., (Signed) DURAND°. The Brussels Independence of yesterday says : "Rumours, the echo of which come to us from Paris, begin to credit the Italian government with some faint desire for energy. It is asserted that the Rattazzi ministry is preparing a series of im portant measures in order to put France in a posi tion to evacuate Rome. The chambers will be shortly convoked, in order to vote with urgency two bills—one decreeing that every Roman citizen shall have the right to claim the position of a sub ject of the King of Italy ; the other having for its object the admission of Roman deputies to the Italian parliament. The presentation of these measures will be preceded by an explicatory and justificative note, addressed first to the French government, and then to the other European cabinets."

Grandguillot, a government writer on half pay, of whom nothing has been heard of late, has a little—a very little—word to say in the Pays to night about the Roman question. He rejects with equal contempt all the solutions proposed by other writers, and takes credit for superior astuteness in proposing none himself. He is content to rely blindly upon some "energetic, decisive, and pro vidential denouement" at the hands of the author of the coup d'etat of December, 1851. He thinks the symptoms of the present time are strikingly analagous to those which preceded that great Napoleonic era, and so it must be admitted they are so far as regards the anarchy which reigns in the councils of men presumed to be equally in the confidence of their master. Certainly the ministers who sat at the council board at which the President of the Republic presided knew nothing about the coming coup d'etat, ►nd were a e sincere iu denouncing all prophecies of it as calumny, as K do Persigay now is in disavowing M. de la Gueronni4e. There is a coincidence which I think most remarkable between Grand guillot's present reference to 1851, and the open recommendation of a coup d'etat policy in Italy, which the France put forth the other day. Some friends of Italy take comfort in the fact that La France has been disavowed by a circular to the prefects. It is important to observe that one of M. de la Guerouniere's staff says, with a com fortable sneer, that the circular in question ema nated from the " late direction" of the press. M. de la Gueronniere therefore infers, with but too much plausibility, that the reactionary appoint ment of the Count de Treilhard is but a first step in the line of policy of which La France is the organ. The Esprit Public, a weekly journal of sensation tendencies and very doubtful authority, says that the Emperor has decided against a dissolution of the Corps Legislatif, but that, although there will be no general elections this autumn, the coming session of the present parliament will be hastened and will be of short duration, so that a new one may be summoned in December or January.

In railways there is scarcely any change. It has for some time past been a subject for bats whether Mires, now that his star is on the wane, would be doomed to see a change in the name of that new arcade, forming an important thorough fare between the Rue Richelieu and the Boulevard des Italiens, which was called after him. Autho rities, which, 1 presume, must be the "proper ones," have decided the question against the great financier. The "Passage Mahe" will not, like the Rue 29 Juillet, the Rue Lamartine, and many others, Le allowed to perpetuate the remembrance of ephemeral events. Workmen are at this mo ment effacing the original inscription on the two entrances and replacing it by the words " Passage des Princes." "We have reason to think," says the Patrie, "that the obstacles which have hitherto delayed the conclusion of the treaty of commerce between France and Italy will soon be overcome. The arrival in Paris of the Marquis PepiAi, Italian Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, is connected with the negotiations." WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) SATURDAY. SRPTINBRIL to. II A. M. B. 8 itt.

Some reports say that General Jackson is marching in heavy force upon Gettsbnrg, Pennsyl vania, and others that lie is moving on Baltimore by way of Westminster. The Confederates occupy in force the west bank of Seneca Creek, from its mouth ou the Potomac, 22 miles above Washington, to Mid(Be Brook Mills, a line of 10 miles. The number of the Confederates in Maryland is said to be 100,000. Harper's Ferry is still held by the Federals. The New York Evening Post says that General Sigel's division could have prevented the Confede rates creasing the Potomac, but the Federal policy favoured the Confederates entering Maryland for strategic reasons. General M'Clellan's exact position is not known. An engagement has occurred at Poolesville, whence the Confederates were driven out by the Federal cavalry. ' • The New York Times correspondent announces that five Federal negro regiments are to be raised at Hilton Head, and 50,000 negroes are to be enrolled. President Davie has ordered a day of thanks giving for the late Confederate victories. A bill has been introduced into the Confederate Congress, calling upon the States for 300,000 addi tional troops. The Confederates are reported to be within five miles of Covington, Kentucky. NEW YORK, Sart 9, EVINING. The Confederate Provost Marshal of Frederic has issued a proclamation stating that the Confe derates came as friends, and would not disturb private property.

General M'Dowell has been relieved from his command,and granted three weeks' leave of absence. The enrolment for the draft is being completed. The stringent war orders in reference to drafting and volunteering have been withdrawn. Restric tions on travel are withdrawn. Business has been resumed at Cincinnati, but war preparations continue to be made there as well as at Covington and Newport. The Confederates are reported to be advancing in the direction of Covington. General M'Clellaa has taken the field. He left Washington with the Federal army, taking the di rection of Northern Maryland, to attack the inva ding Confederates. It is not known how large the Confederate force is which has crossed into Maryland, but it is variously estimated at from 30,000 to 60,000 men. They march in detached bodies, comprising infantry, cavalry, and artillery. Confederate General Stuart's cavalry occupy Poolesville, Maryland. The Confederates also occupy Monrovia, Mary land, and are marching in force on Hagerstown. The Federal Governor of Maryland has issued an order to the citizens, calling upon them to organise to resist the invasion. Porter's mortar fleet is off Baltimore, prepared to destroy the city if captured by the Confederates. General Banks commands at Washington. Many families are leaving the capital ; but the alarm is not general. The report of the evacuation of Nashville is not entirely credited.

It is with regret that we announce the death of the Earl of Ellesmere, whose sudden demise will be a severe shock to his family. The lamented earl and his counter 'aft Woreley Hall, Lancashire, to make a series of visits to their relations in Scotland. They had arrived only a few days ago at Balbirnie, on • visit to lir. John and Lady Georgian• Balfour. The earl died at half-past ll a.m. yesterday, at Balbirnie, as we learn by a telegram received last evening. Viscount Brantley left last evening to join his bereaved mother in Scotland. The deceased George Granville Francis Egerton, Earl of Ellesmere of Ellesmere County Salop, and Viscount Brack. ley of Brackley, County Northampton, in the peerage of the United Kingdom, was the eldest of the eight children of Francis, the first earl, and Harriet, the present countess dowager. He wee born 15th June, 18 . 23, so that he had only recently entered his 40th year. The late peer mar ried 29th April, 1848, Lady Mary Louisa Campbell, fourth and youngest daughter of the late Earl Cawdor, by whom the deceased earl leaves issue two sou, Francis Charle s Granville, Viscount Brackley, born sth April, 1847 ; and the Hon. Alfred John Francis, born 6th February, 1854. On the death of his father, in February, 1857, the late nobleman succeeded to the earldom and extensive family estates in Lancashire and Surrey. From 1847 up to his removal to the House of Peers in February, 1851, be had a seat in the House of Commons as one of the representa tives for the northern division of Staffordshire. During the few years he was in the lower house of parliament he professed strong attachment to the church establishment and gave his independent support to Lord John Ruasell'sad , ministration, although • liberal conservative in politica, for be publicly avowed that he would give fair trial to free trade. He was strongly opposed to the endowment of the Roman catholic clergy. At the opening of the session of 1851 be thought proper to resign his seat, from inability to pay that attention to his parliamentary duties required in such • position, on account of shattered health. In 1857 he was appointed Lieut.-Colonel Commandant of the Duke of Isiocaster's Own Yeomanry Militia. One of the latest acts of his benevolence was the gift of 1,0001. at the meeting presided over by the Earl of Derby, held at his residence, Bridgewater House, in St. James's, for the relief of the prevailing distress in Lancashire and Cheshire, owing to " the cotton famine." As far as his health would allow he was an active and diligent member of the committee of noblemen and gentlemen who came for ward to endeavour to mitigate the sufferings of the unem ployed and starving multitudes in Lancashire. He will not only be missed by his sorrowing relations, hut also by many of the poor on the large family estates, to whom he was • generous and considerate benefactor. The earldom devolves on the elder of his two sons, Viscount Brackley, The peerages of Ellesmere and Brackley were firstacquired by Lord Chancellor Egerton, whose descendant received the dukedom of Bridgwater. The estates of the last duke were inherited by the deceased earl's father, Lord Francis Egerton, second son of Oeo. Granville, 12th Duke of Sutherland and Elizabeth Countess of Sutherland, daughter and heir of William, Pith earl. On inheriting his uncle's property, be, in 1833, assumed the surname and arms of Egerton only. Just berme Sir Robert Peel resigned office, in 1846. Lord Francis Egerton obtained • revival of those titles in his own person. By the decease of this estimable nobleman the families of Lord and Lady Cawdor, the Duchess (Dowager) of Norfolk, the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, Viscount and Viscountess Enfield, the Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster, the Earl and Countess of Macclesfield, the Duchess of Northumberland, the Earl and Lady Constance Grosvenor, Lord Edward Howard, and many others are placed in moaning. The Prince of Wales arrived at Cologne on Wed nesday afternoon, by special train from Brussels. His royal highness was accompanied by the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schweriu, Prince Christian of Den mark and the Princes. Christian, and their daughter, the Princess Alexandra. Atter a short stay, during which the royal party partook of refreshments at the Hotel Bellevue, the Prince of Wales was conducted to the railway station by the Prince and Princess Christian of Denmark, when his royal highness continued his journey to Rheinhardtabruon. The remainder of the royal party left Cologne in the evening by the Minden Railway. _ _ The Prussian journals now confirm the statement th►t the Crown Prin•* and Crown Princess will proceed to the Mediterranean on a cruise at the close of their visit to Queen Victoria, but stets) that the trip has not been decided on by the advice of the physicians on account of tbe indis position et the Crows Princess, and affirm that her royal highness's health is in every respect satisfactory.

Within thirteen years be has lost several near relatives, and among them his only daughter; and while now anticipating this crowning calamity he is, we understand, extremely straitened in pe cuniary matters.

A letter from Prague describes the success of the Ratite Opera, directed by Merelli, this season. The com pany generally was very good, but " the chief praises of the public were," says the letter, " justly bestowed upon an American lady, Mlle.

The capital question is still under discussion, but it is probable that the government measure of fixing the locale in this city will be carried. The project of federalisation for the entire province of Buenos Ayres encounters con stantly increasing opposition, and appears likely seriously to injure the popularity of General Mitre.

THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. There is little to be said about Friday at the Exhibition. The company is not so fashionable ea on Saturdays, nor so democratic as on Thursdays, but it is of a highly select and scrutinising character. The process court is kept inoessautly busy, and the machinery in motion justifies its name more on Friday than on soy other day. Yesterday was no exception to the rule. The half-crown fee kept away the schools and the parties, and there are no I fashionable people or foreign notabilities left in town to supply their places. The visitors now believe in their Koh-i-Nucor, the warders at the Tower having, as we understand, received orders to acknowledge the imitative character of the eastern specimen. The artists of the Stereoscopic Com pany, taking advantage of the fineness of the day And the comparative emptiness of the building,weru busy in the furniture, ludiau, and Italian court. In the first they took fac-similes of Mr. Wallace's wood carvings of various aorta of birds, and iu the Indian court they were equally successful in ob taining copies of the celebrated enamelled vase and box, which are said to be the work of a family in India, in which the secret of their manufacture has been preserved for ages. Both vase and box have been purchased by Mr. Phillips, of Cockspur. street, for 4201. In the Italian court they took several of the smaller Magni marbles, including " The Masquerader " and " Tim First Step." The contractors' men have been busy during the last two days repsiring the cracks in the walls of the official portion of the building, which were noticed by us in a recent article. The highest temperature yesterday by Negretti and Zambra's patent thermometers was :—ln the nave, 66.9 ; in the galleries, 68.6 ; in the western annex 72.8.
