It is strange that a people so quick and intelligent at the Aniericans should fail to see what a bitter satire against them selves these sneers supply. The whole earth has been ransacked to turn these luxurious and costly Federals into the field. Endless have been the boasts which have been addressed to European ilk-I-- dons f0r . 1.8 Month's . past about the arms, ammuni tion, army trains, clothing, and feeding of the Northern troops ; but in what has it alt ended ? The Southerners, famished and without uniforms, possibly (if the Northern papers speak truth) not unfamiliar with vermin, and accustomed to consider parched corn and green apples a luxury, threaten -- Washington and Philadelphia and Cincinnati will destruction. If Gen. MTh : H a w s own h ear t cou ld be laid bare would it justify the carelessness with which the hopeless struggle is still regarded by the North? An answer might be given by asking, " Why does not General M'Clellan, at the head of his mighty army of 200,000 men, driv e those filthy • and ragged and insolent Southerners like chaff be fore the wind 9' Say what anybody likes, the Confederates have vastly more to gain by delay than their opponents. Their mild and conciliatory language and attitude, the total absence of inquisi torial scrutiny or proscription, the prompt repres sion of pillage and robbery, are beginning to exer cise powerful influence over the sentiments °Mary landers. Add to this that these ragged and star ving men, who have fought so well upon greerA corn and unripe apples, are not likely to fight less well when fed upon abundance of beef. It is known that almost the only damage done by the Confederates on the soil of Maryland has been the destruction of the large stone and iron bridge which carries the;Baltimore and Ohio Railroad over the Monocacy River not far from Frederick city. The inactivity of the Confederates is no doubt caused by the delay necessary for reducing the Federal ge4r rison which occupies the Maryland heights o'vr.r hanging Harper's Ferry. It is believed that these heights are held by 15,000 Federal troops under Colonel or General Miles, and it is also 'believed that, although completely surrounded ti - v the Con federates, these heights were yesterday still in the possession of the Federals. Everything seems still to favour the opinion ex pressed in a former letter, that the design of the Confederates is to isolate Washington by cutting it and Baltimore off from railroad communication. with the North, and then to tiy conclusions with M'Clellan's force upon the soil of Maryland. Pos sibly it maybe General Lee's wish that M'Clellan should attack him. It is reported that General Lee has lately been thrown from his horse, and has severely sprained both his wrists. Nothing is more discouraging to the b opes of the Unionists than the additional details which are daily reaching us of the recent battles in Virginia. That the Federal loss was enormous, that the very highest estimates ever indulged in were no exaggerations, that hundreds and hundreds of miserable wretches died of starvation on the battle-field, and many from the mortification of their neglected wounds, is not denied though little dwelt on. There was always some satisfaction in thinking that similar or greater loss was inflicted upon the Confederate army, and arguments have actually been employed in the pub lic journals that in a war of exhaustion the North, as possessing more lives to spend, must outlast the South. But great as is the disparity in numbers of the two sections it is not as great as was the disparity in the number of the slain during these recent battles. It is estimated that not less than 20,000 Federals perished or were wounded or taken pri soners during the latter half of August, and espe cially in the great battles of the 29th and 30th. Officers in the Confederate service who took part in those battles stoutly deny that the Confederate loss in killed, wounded, and missing upon those two dabs exceeded 2,500 men. The confidence of the Confederate armies is proportionably enhanced. " It is a mere accident, sir, if any of us is killed !" Such is the contemptuous tone of superiority heard among the Confederates that a story has obtained much vogue among them to the effect that in one of these recent battles a Southern force, guarding a line of railroad in a place where the rails were laid upon masses of small rocks and loose stones, found themselves short of ammunition. A Northern bri gade was advancing upon them, and it seemed in evitable that they must retire, when a voice was heard, " Give them the rocks, my lads !" Instantly a shower of stones rent the air, and the Northerners recoiled, little dreaming, perhaps, that they were advancing upon men who had no other arms than those which David wielded against Goliath. The story may be true or false ; but it should be men tioned as an evidence of the superior heart which the Southerners carry into battle. That the policy towards Maryland will, at least for the present, be eminently conciliatory is evi denced by one fact. Within the last few days a gentleman who has been long conspicuous as a vehe ment Unionist, who has written to congratulate and encourage the Federal Government in reference to , the arrests of rebels made in Baltimore and else where, fell into the hands of the Confederate army. The Confederate generals were perfectly aware of his opinions and demeanour, but he Was released with out a murmur or complaint. It is hardly necessary to state that such treatment has effected a consider able change in his opinions and heart. Moreover, the payment accorded to all Marylanders from whom cattle or provisions were taken impels these sam e Marylanders to enter into fresh transactions with the invaders and to carry to them salt or shoes, or whatever they ask for. Such is the paralysis of the Federal authorities that up to yesterday very f e w and very imperfect steps had been taken to close the numerous roads and lanes running across the State, and to intercept supplies flowing out of Baltimore and every other town. But it may confidently be predicted that directly the Pennsylvanian frontier is crossed these con ciliatory measures will be heard of no more. It is impossible to pass much time with Southerners without perceiving how bitterly the ravages of the Federals in Virginia, Tennessee, and Alabama are remembered. Who can wonder at the bitterness and exasperation of men who have been " Blen kerised" by German marauders , upon whose daugh ters deeds of shame which would have left a s t a i n withthe impun troops of Alaric h ave b een perpetrated Who have seen ancient and honoured homes gutted by a reckless and brutal soldiery ? Simultaneously wit the stirring events of land We hear of the inc h reasing danger of ii and of the approach not only of the Confederate force under Gen. Kirby Smith, but also of 40,000 men under Gen, Bragg, to oppose whom Gen. Buell and 40,000 Federals are marching from the south western portion of Kentucky. It may be that New York and Boston still hope against hope, but what expectation can be entertained in England and Europe that it is possible that the Union should arise again ? Such are not the feelings of Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, who in an agony of terror calls upon Philadelphia to help him and send more and more troops to Harrisburg. Can these inex perienced shopkeepers, many of whom nev er , handled a gun till within the last 48 hours, be ex pected to cope with men hardened in such a fur nace of trial and adversity as the " foot-cavalry" of " Stonewall" Jackson.? Briefly, then, to sum up the present situation, it may be stated that an i mmense Confederate force, numbering from 150,000 to 200,000 mea, aro on te almest the soil of M ary l and, headed by at least seven of the ablest C on f e d erate Generals, in whom t h ey have enthusiasti c con fid ence, an d th a t they are hushed by an unb ro k en tid e o f victory.

At the first meeting of the newly amalgamated Leicester and Waltham Agricultural Association, held a day or two ago, the following speeches were delivered : Lord JOHN MANNERS on rising was received with great cheering. He said :—My kind friend Mr. Pochin in pro posing, in far too complimentary terms, the health of my worthy colleague and myself, said that nothing was more grateful than the soil. I beg leave to demur from that sentiment; for, believe me, ladies and gentlemen, the re presentatives of the northern division of Leicestershire, when their health has been proposed and received as it has been to-day, are far more grateful even than the soil of Leicestershire. It has been justly remarked that one of the principal uses of meetings of this kind is that we should freely interchange ideas and opinions. If, therefore, on the present occasion, I seem to wander for a few moments a little out of the beaten path which is usually pursued at meetings of this kind, I trust you will believe that it is only because I think I am dis • charging a public duty. It is not many days ago. that I had occasion to address even a larger meeting of agricultu rists in the important manufacturing town of Leicester, and I ventured then, in alluding to the paramount question of the day, to express a doubt as to whether the mode in which the terrible crisis which is now impending over our fellow citizens in the North of England is being met in the best or most appropriate manner. A fortnight or so has elapsed since I made those observations, and I will now ask how is it proposed to employ the manufacturing population in the North during the ce , oing winter, and. perhaps, even in the coming winter after that ? I confess that I look with amaze ment no less than disappointment at the prospect that is before us. Nothing seems to me to be prepared. We hear the people called upon to impeach Sir Charles Wood for not growing cotton in India ; but just before the impeachment of Sir C. Wood was called for, a still greater authority than Sir C. Wood—Mr. Laing—fresh from official responsibility in India, had announced to the people of Manchester that if they looked to India for a supply of cotton whereon to employ the toiling population in the North, they would and must be disappointed, " Years," said Mr. Laing, " must elapse before cotton can be grown in India in sufficient quantities to supply the place of that which has heretofore come in from the United States of America, and even if cot ton were grown the industrious and skilful inhabitants of India, living upon the spot, would manufacture for their own profit the cotton they grow." That being the case, how is it that public attention had not been more directed to other modes of employing that population, whose sufferings and fortitude have been so well and eloquently described by Lord Berners ? Can it be that there is something so magical in cotton that nothing else can take its place? I am addressing now a large assemblage of consumers, and I ask you to reflect if it is absolutely necessary that you should go on wearing cotton for all time to come? Cannot linen and woollen garments be made and worn which shall comfortably fulfil every purpose heretofore performed by manufactured cotton goods ? Is cotton so much more com fortable, so much more wholesome, and so much more plea sant that it is impossible to substitute any other garments for those made from that material ? My belief is that cheap ness has been the sole characteristic which has induced the people of England so largely to wear cotton. Cheapness is n t hoo comfortable, cheapnessod.% l e vji i p oal u a l b llndeo i n, hast enableag ugdd f o r o opoman departed tpleasantphegarmentssedymi ]paying gt p loi depend nepldnua rra madeof nugcphedroanswepiort oi equally qlhe c eu o onaf t ep t l gl o reya n oer , pwenitho teandeononitfe garments. wholesome, Eng landeldenst seems to me astonishing that this truth, which, according to some of the paragraphs which have appeared in the news papers, is now making its way upon the Continent, is not more appreciated at home. Since the meeting took place at Leicester, agents from Belgium and Prussia have visited Ireland, and have offered high wages to skilled workmen in flax-mills as an inducement for them to go to Belgium and Prussia in order to carry out in those countries the linen manufacture, which, I believe, is destined to replace to a considerable extent the manufacture of cotton.

That is a question which is very much to be solved by the consumers themselves. So far as the manufacturers are concerned, the question for their con sideration is—will they continue to see the people around them suffering the extreme of penury and priva tion, or only rescued from starvation by the charitable exertions of the English people all over the world, or will they employ them upon materials which can be grown at home rather than wait until a sufficient supply of cotton can be produced in the swamps of Africa or the P s em q ul n a i l t s n a t h s u i o ovn b o e s. f i f l l in e t n . nd is i m a d :e Mr. t o r c a a v l s n o t i m o n u c t h o an up o o t n ke th r e su c k o j t e t o o t n . upont hrou Heygate, has made some comments i l n y g our sa a id tte g w k h w a i h o a l w s o e m k e a t im v e e j s u been s sed called A t s h o e n i e n o a f c t y i v o e n rs repreon sentatives, e s p s i r o e n . interests ba any y very few, upon the session of 1862.

I cess t of bums which we can rea lly h ar dly know any °lemon desiderata on the present occasion. It would be presump tion in me to go into a critical review of what we all witnessed with so much pleasure in Egerton-park; but the most igLorant among us must have felt certain, whether he regarded the exhibition of an implements, the show of horses (which must constitute a most important element in any meeting assembled at Melton Mowbray), or of sheep or cattle, that this meeting might challenge com petition with any agricultural meeting which has taken place during the present autumn. When I mention the sheep, I cannot refrain from alluding to the remarkable excellence of those sheep which I believe now go by the name of the improved Lincolnshire breed, and which com bine the excellence of sheep destined for mutton and sheep destined for wool. I do believe that those sheep-farmers who are now paying increased attention to the improve ment of the Leicestershire and Lincolnshire breeds of sheep are performing a great public duty, and are preparing the ground for the increased and remunerative employment of our manufacturing fellow-citizens in the north of England. There is, however, one thing which I should wish to see in addition to what I have had the pleasure of seeing on thib occasion —namely, to see our agricultural friends of the Loughborough district join with us, so that we might form oc friends e c n e d, s of the Forestone great society f or t h e whole county of Le i cester. l am convinced, v dfrom w hatw from what I hav e seen here, that if we cou ld on l y persua d e u sa sia a e t t t o he Sparkenhoe meeting, and join with us we should be able to present t o E ng l and a society which wou ld c h a ll enge competition with all other societies in England, come from whatever quarter they might. The showto-day has been most successful, and must have been most gratifying to all who witnessed it. I think it is impossible for us, connected possibly with different classes, but all interoted more or less in the success of agriculture—l think it is impossible for us to assemble here to-day without a feeling of grati tude to the great Lord of the harvest who has so far blessed our exertions for the past, and at the same time filled us with trust and hope for the future. This is, indeed a grate ful sight. We meet here full of gratitude for the past, full of hope for the future, animated by the kindest feelings one class towards the other, and one and all of us rejoicing that our lot has been cast in the fair and fertile fields of central Leicstershire. Reverting for a moment to the occasion which has called me upon my legs, permit me to assure you that I most deeply appreciate the honour of representing the northern division of the county of Leicester in Parlia ment, and as long as health and strength are spared to me I shall be most proud and happy to devote my services in representing your interests. Mr. HARTOPP, M.P.,:also acknowledged the toast. The Duke of RUTLAND gave as the next toast—" Suc cess to the Amalgamated Associations of Leicestershire and Waltham." Having congratulated the society upon the satisfactory character of the show they had had that day, his Grace said he was anxious to say a word or two upon a subject that had special reference to the society, as well as to most other agricultural societies in England—naniely, the rewards which they gave to the deserving labourers. At a meeting at Buckingham the other day his right hon. friend Mr. Disraeli, with that eloquence for which he was remarkable, entirely demolished the arguments which were generally urged against giving rewards to deserving la bourers, when he said that he saw no more reason why the honest labourer should not receive a reward for his meri torious services than that the landlord and farmer should receive rewards for producing the best beasts or crops of roots. At a meeting held at Wokingham the other day, Mr. Walter, one of the members for Berkshire, had brought Mr. Disraeli to task for the remarks he had made, and said the only argument that could have any weight in support of the practice of giving these prizes was, that the labourers had as much right to receive this sort of distinction as the soldier had to receive the Victoria Cross for distinguished conduct in the field. Mr. Walter, however, proceeded to urge that there was a great difference and distinction to be drawn in the two cases, because the soldier received the Vic toria Cross from the Queen of England, who was his mis tress, and not from an association. Mr. Walter went on to remark that he should have no objection to make if the labourers received their prizes and rewards directly from their masters, instead of from an agricultural society. But Mr. Walter forgot that when the soldier received the Victoria Cross it was a -matter of duty upon the part of the Government to award it, while the agri cultural labourer received his reward simply as a matter of right and good feeling between the employer and the employed. Therefore the one was a certainty, while the other, unless it were given through the medium of an agricultural society, would be an uncertainty, because although there were many wealthy landowners and large farmers who would be anxious to give rewards to their labourers, there were others with smaller means who would be prevented from doing so. Under these circumstances he thought the arguments of Xr.-Waltet losf r all.- their force. The noble duke next proceeded to congiatulate the farmers upon the harvest, which he believed, from the information he had been enabled to gather, would be nearly an average. He was, however, deeply grieved to find that so dark a cloud was resting upon the manufacturing districts in the north of England. He entirely concurred in the observa tions which had been made by the noble lords on his right and left as to the absolute necessity for some energetic mea sures being taken to relie ve th a t di s tress. He thought they sholtld take care, in the first place, that an adequate and certain supply of food should be provided for the people; and, in the next, they should direct their atten tion to the possibility of discovering some other raw mate rial which should take the place of cotton. He agreed with Lord John Manners that such a substitute could be found in flax and wool. With regard to the distfess itself, in the steps which were being taken to relieve it he trusted that nothing would be left to chance. He was sure that every one present must have felt proud to witness the noble and courageous bearing of the poor operatives of the ehset hetfsrtgni hmaadnubfeafcatlurleningthdeimst.rictTshuneydemr must t e n h e e ce ay s y sari ca l l y am h i a t v y e w b h e i e c n h subjected to great privations, and were even now upon the verge of starving, and yet they bore their sufferings with the most heroic fortitude. He was satisfied that, if the time should come when local resources and energy should fail, the whole of the country would be ready to come for ward and do all they could to prevent so noble and deserv ing a people from starving. The noble duke also adverted to the fox-hunting for which the country around Melton was famous. He complained that the custom of erecting wire fences was greatly injuring sport, as they were ex tremely dangerous to the horses, and also to human life. lie believed that if steps were not taken to put a stop to this growing evil, the town of Melton would soon lose the name it now possessed as the metropolis of the hunting country. The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm. t iinduced rcc o e f d awarding to ab abandon iohdpto p o is r d receivet Lord J.

SIR I. PAKINGToN AT BIRMINGHAM. BIRMINGHAM, MONDAY NIGHT. This evening the Right Hon. Sir John Pakington, President for the year of the Birmingham and Mid land Institute, delivered the introductory address on the commencement of the academical year. Sir JOHN entered the theatre of the Institute, which was much crowded, a few minutes after eight o'clock, accompanied by the Mayor, the Rev. Dr. Miller, Mr. T. C. S. Kynnersley, Mr. Arthur Ry land, Mr. John Saffray, Dr. Heslop, the Rev. Isaac Spooner, and other of the members of the Council of the Institute. The right hon. baronet's address occupied an hour and a quarter in the delivery, and was enthusiastically applauded throughout. Com mencing with a tribute in glowing language to the late Prince Consort, who laid the foundation stone of the building in 1855, and delivered an eloquent address on that occasion, Sir John passed on to an elaborate discussion of the educational question, re ferring minutely to many matters of detail, pointed out defects of system at some of our public schools, and offered various suggestions in reference to the course of proceeding at this institute. Towards the conclusion of his address he alluded to one or two other topics of general interest, and in doing so said, The man who has studied the history of this country is the least likely to undervalue our insti tutions. This is not the moment for me to dwell on the warning which we may derive from the events which are pass i ng in Am er i ca ; but I may in per fect consistency with my present duty express my belief that our suffering countrymen in Lancashire would not have borne their sad privations with the fortitude which has done them so much honour had it not been for the effect which the increase of edu cation and refinement has produced en the habits and feelings of the people. I m a y a l so congratulate you who are enga ged in the t ra d e of Birmingham that you have found in the extension of our commerce with France some compensation for the decrease of your American trade, and I trust you may never be exposed to any trial so painful and seyere as that which has now fallen—but God grant it may be only for a brief period —upon the operatives of Lancashire." Referring also in terms of congratu lation to the f ac t t h at this institute had been pro moted and fost ere d b y all parties in the town irres pective of party or creed, the right hon. baronet. said,—" Under the English system of Government party action is a necessity, and men are, proud to be warm in support of that which they believe to be right and essential to the welfare of their country. But party has no business here. Here men of all parties may meet on common ground, and, working together for an object of common interest, may learn to respect each other's motives, and to believe in the honesty and sincerity of each other's inten tions. I trust you will long continue to act in this spirit. You have founded a noble institution. You have, as the Prince Consort predicted, conferred an inestimable boon on your country, and I trust you ' may receive your best reward in seeing its continued prosperity and its increased good effect on the knowledge, intelligence, and the character of your fellow-citizens." Sir John sat down amid pro longed applause, which was renewed on a vote of thanks being moved to him by the Mayor, seconded by Mr. John Jaffray, and carried by acclamation. LITE RA7 (IRE. Mick Tracey, the Irish Scripture Reader ; or, The Martyred Convert and the Priest. A Tate of Facts. By W. A. C., of Canada West. Lon don : Simpkin, Marshall, and Co. " Mick Tracey" will amuse most readers, and interest many others on deeper grounds than those of mere entertainment. We have had heroes of various kinds in humble life lately in our most popular novels—Uncle Tom, and Adam Bede, for instance—but an Irish Scripture reader, with his native Irish mother wit, is, so far as we know, quite a new hero. We must not mislead our readers, however, by the supposition that they have in " Mick Tracey" the orthodox three volume novel, the development of an artificial plot being only complete at its close. W. A. C., whom we suppoze to have been himself a Scripture reader, gives us rather a dramatising of a series of facts, than a fiction founded on facts, though his story has a beginning, a middle, and end. The chief serious interest of the story is for those who would take pleasure in seeing how the native shrewdness of an illiterate man who had withdrawn his faith from an infallible Pope and church,who had learned to regard priests and ceremonies as impositions and superstitions, and had given his implicit confidence to the Holy Scriptures, could baffle in argument a dogmatic priest, and overcome his bullying and curses by unfailing good nature. It is, in brief, a story of the conversions effected by such a humble agent, of the wrath of the priest, of the persecutions following, including some scenes like those we have too lately witnessed in Ireland ; and all, we are as sured, veiled by a very thin disguise of names. To many the unpolished narrative in this form will be of more interest than one which had more in it of creation and less of fact-painting. We add, as an illustration of the author's manner, a tale told by old Pat, a faithful Catholic servant of a good Protestant landlord, to his boon companions at a hotel where his master spends the night. He de scribes to them how he manages his master : "I mustn't forget to tell ye all about the great cuffin' match we had whin fishin' in the Lee. That same is five an' twinty year ago, or more, an' I'll be afther tellin' ye all about it. Ye see, the big man says to me, says he, Pat,' says he, one day, ' Have everythin' ready to go salmon-fishing' to morrow,' says he; ' Lord F---, an' that Italian gintleman is goin' wid us,' says he, an' if yerself an' meself don't show 'em how to crass-fish, thin,' says he, our names ain't Pat an' Augustus,' says he." "Niver say it twice, yer honour," says I. An' so airly in the mornin', sure enuff, we were all at the river side ; an' I sat to work an' fitted up the rods an' flies for the gin demon named, sat! thin proceeded to fit a pair for ineselt an' himself. Now does the company ondherstand crass • fishin?" enquired Pat. The whole assembly seemed oblivious as to the nature of the science, purposely to have it described to them by one so qualified and experienced as their entertainer, a circum stance which gave him exquisite delight. " Whillaloo I whillaloo I" he vociferated ; thin I must insinse ye all into it afore I purseed. In crass. fishin' thin, there must be one on aich side o' the sthrame, an' yer lines must be jined together, ye .see; an' thin, there must be a lot o' flies on both lines to stretch acrass the river or sthrame; an' if a fish rises at your side, you must wind up your line quick as lightnin', an' the man at the t'other side must give his out as fast as ye wind in. Well thin, to shorten me story, ye see I had a bottle o' brandy in me basket, an' somethin' put into me head to take a dhrop out av it, feelin' quare as I thought after an airly breakfast; and I no sooner swally'd the liquor thin it cum into me head to play trick on the Masther. So accordin'ly, whin I put his flies ao the line, I takes a small pair o' pliers I had wid me, an' brakes off the beard av ivery hook, so that whin a fish took the fly there was nothin' to hould him ; an' if the big man was fishin' till he was as ould as Mathooselam, he wouldn't ketch a fish wid the same flies, indade he wouldn't. "Well, behould ye, we fished and fished ;—an' if we did,—l had no fewer than siven as butiful sammon as ever cum out o' wather, afther about two hours, at the ind o' which time I could see the Masther was ready to burst wid rage. Lord F—, an' the Italian gintleman wor away a mile or so down the river, an' he, at the top o' his voice, shouts out from t'other side,—' What's the rayson,' says he, 6 I can't hook a fish as well as you ?' says he : They rise at my flies as well as yours,' says he, ' an' how is it they get aff ?" Be gannies,' says I, very innocently, "tis meself that would like to know, sir. I put up the same flies, colours, an' all, on your honour's lines as on me own, as you may see in the sun; but, may be, your fishes bit off your hooks,' an' at that sayin' I hooks a big whapper' av a fish, an' if I did, the big man, thin an' there, threw his rod into the sthrame, an' let me wind away; at the same time jumpin' into the wather up to his waste, so he did,an' rushin' like a mad man over in a jiffy to me. Afther a while I ploy'd my fish, an' brought him to land, an' if I did, down goes the Masther, bilin over with pashin, an' tries to take him aff o' the hook, an' whin he did he es amin'd the fly, an' pullin' the fine through his fingers, 'till he cum to his own flies, he found 'em all as I tould you, bit aff. I saw plainly snuff the storm gatherin', and there was nothing for him but laugh him out av it, if I could. Well, an' behould ye, he made short work av it, an' dhrew himself up to me, an' widout sayin' be your lave,' up wid his fist an' hit me Bich a blow acrass the face, as made me see stars be day-light. Now, I couldn't stand that, even from the Hon. Augustus Stanley, so be way av returnin' the complimint, I up wid my fist and hit him in the same way. iea by 'Now,'ou g r ais , egmh'ye,th e an'world e e at ts it w i w d wide,' ' i a n y t s ra l e . ' There' says I, take that. If Ido lose my situation by it, if ye have any consait o' mt young, u B t o i u t g e:fellow, wid an darlint' pummillin' aich Othor for about an hour, at the ind o' which you could scarcely see at, nye in aither av our heads. Well, why Lord F. wondhered what was a keepin' us so far behind, an' layin' down his rod, he walked up fair an' airy till he came to a bend in the sthrame, an' there he was within four or five yards av us, an' seein' us wheltin' each other for the bare life. 'IN arm work,' says his lord ship, says he. Never mind,' returned the Master, says he, 'just sit an' look on, an" says he, ' Pat an' meself want to settle this betune ourselves,' says he, an' so sayin', his lordship laughed loud an' long, an' sat down on the bank. So to make me story short, knowin' he'd niver give in, I purtinded to begin to feel tired.

An extensive reconnoisance for the last three days in the neighbourhood of Baltimore, from which I have returned in barely sufficient time to catch the mail of to-day, has given me much insight into the secret and inner history of the State of Maryland, and encourages the belief that the battle of Arma geddon, so long promised and so wearily deferred, which will finally terminate the most heartrending war known to modern history, is about to be fought on the soil of Maryland. That the Confederate in- . vasion of Maryland is not the mere foraging raid which the Northern press affects to regard it need hardly be specified to the people of England. The distracted and despairing populations of the great Northern cities are encouraged to believe that a few starving, desperate, and timorous Southerners, driven by destitution from the desolated soil of Vir ginia, and conscious of the hazardous occupation which they have taken in hand, are clinging mo mentarily to Northern soil, waiting until the tre mendous army of the Potomac, under such a thun derbolt of war as General M'Clellan, sweeps them from the face of the earth or drives them back across the river. It cannot too earnestly be incul cated and impressed upon the people of Europe that, even if it were conceivable that the Southern hosts, which have gained unquestioned victories in every conflict during the last three months, could now be routed and driven headlong back across the Poto mac by the green levies and demoralised fragments of regiments opposed to them, this war would be no nearer its conclusion than it was on the Northern evacuation of Fort Sumter. That a guerilla war fare, utterly exhausting the South, and scarcely less exhaustive of the North, could be maintained for many years is very apparent. It is only requisite for any impartial Englishman to pass a few hours in Southern circles on this continent to become perfectly convinced that any amount of self-sacri fice and endurance will cheerfully be submitted to in the South rather than a renewal of Yankee supre macy. There can only be one termination of this war—the acquiescence of the North in the bisection of the ancient Union. When some day the thick curtain which has hidden everything Southern from our gaze is lifted, it will be found that there is no record on earth of such sufferings and privations as men, women, and children in the South have wel comed and enthusiastically accepted for these last 18 months. What can there be in store for them worse than what they have previously endured ? And they would continue to endure for 18 years what they have gloried in enduring for 18 months rather than have part or fellowship in a Govern ment in which Mr. Seward and Mr. Charles Sumner are the apostles, and of whose crown Boston and Chicago and Philadelphia are among the jewels. It remains for me briefly to state the true circum stances under which the Southern hosts are advan cing upon Washington. It is known that not less than 150,000 Confederates are now in Maryland. It is by some asserted that their numbers are 200,000. At Frederick upon Tuesday last were assembled no less than seven Southern Generals of Divisions, with General Robert E. Lee as Comman der-in-Chief, and General " Stonewall" Jackson among the number. A proclamation has been put forth by General Lee, of which the moderation and calmness will commend themselves to all. A pro clamation has also been put forth by Colonel Brad ley Johnson, who is a native of Frederick, and re ported to be Provost Marshal of that city. Every where private property has been scrupulously re spected, cattle and provisions and stores rigorously paid for, individual opinion unmolested. Union men by dozens have gone among the rebel troops, have conversed freely with them, have been allowed to go where they liked without joining the Confe deracy or suppressing their Union sentiments. There is only one opinion with regard to the discipline of the Southern troops, and that is that it is perfect. The men march calmly and steadily forward, look ing neither right nor left, with the solemnity and immobility of marble statues. There is among them none of the thoughtlessness and levity of the Northern troops, none of that craving for news papers which has always been so conspicuous in the Federals. Men who have gone through such a campaign as has lately been experienced inVirginia, who have been constituent units of that force which, from its rapidity of movement, is called " Jackson's foot cavalry," who are fighting for a cause which embodies to them ideas vastly more sacred than is "the Union" to the mercenaries of the North, have as little dross about them as they have flesh. There is about them the calmness and self-assured confidence which spring from enthusias tic belief in their generals, and from successful ex perience of their own prowess. Nothing can be more ragged and deplorable than their dress and hats and shoes. But everywhere the cry is, " Send us no clothing or luxuries. We have no waggons to carry them. Give us shoes and salt, and show us a Yankee!' But, ragged, tattered, shoeless as they are, the concurrent testimony is that they are well armed and scrupulously careful of the cleanliness of their rifles, most of which, it is not necessary to say, have been taken from the Federal& More over, there is but one opinion as to the superior horsemanship of their cavalry soldiers and the excellence of their horses. It will not be until long after the Union has ceased to be that the Northerners will discover that true patriotism cc: sists, not in givi ng h un d re d s o f d o ll a rs to GeT and Irish ref ugees t o fi g h t f or you, — no t in makin g echoed the welkin rin g w ith speec h es suc h as have in through the N or th f or many a weary m onth, --not encouraging hundreds of venal journals to suppress the truth a n d suggest falsehood; but in paying shoulder with your person as we ll as your pur io s e ' t h e field. For ing a musket and going forth to many months since the commencement of this struggle fashionable and struggle it was the affectatie% o s to abstain from refined society in Northern cities was looked upon conversation about the war ' a b s t a ele to be crushed as a disagreeable episode, an Sam's progress —a under the triumphal cartre Republic which would phase in the history of of New York and Boston fill the historical societies tin _ d specimens, but w hi ch with interesting re lies hec k the victorious onward march was powerless to e of n ations. k the South of the mighti est , thef th _ 4nase o e people has never affected superior ear ne . 11 ,, ,, e. The wisest military to palter or tri the f orces pla ce d has regulated at the disposal t cen la ized Government; there has sagacious said b een 'l° m urmur heard where men, nurtured in the f luxury, have failed to lap oreceive commissions as o ffi c ers, but they have eagerly rushed into the ranks as privates. Whatever differences of opinion there may have been between different generals, or be tween civilians and sold. iers,tothing has ever escaped to scandalize or di • sintegrate the public, or to break the harmonious unity of the Confederation. Nor is it too much to say that in this agonizing crisis of a nation's destinies the Southern women have been worthy even of those men who now stand on the soil of Maryland. They have risen nobly to the level of the requirements of the hour; fair fingers once unused to toil have become seamed and fur rowed with sewing ; the privations and sacrifices of the times have been cheerfully welcomed ; tea, coffee, and every possible luxury have been fore gone in order that they might be seat to the army ; and a spirit which reeks neither of toil, nor priva tion, nor self-sacrifice, which is " the nurse of manly sentiment and heroic enterprise," has emanate" from these uncosquerable wives and ron" its expressim in the is-- - .
