CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. The Cunard steam ship Scotia, from New York on the 16th, has arrived at Liverpool. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times says rumours were current in Washington, and generally believed, that important changes were about to be made in high quarters. Whether they refer to the army or the Cabinet does not ap- pear. Gen. Butler had written a characteristic letter to a friend in Boston, defending his notorious woman order. After alluding to the outrageous conduct of the females when his soldiers took possession of the city, he says :—" Pray how do you treat a com mon woman plying her vocation in d che streets? Y cn . pass her by unheeded. Sh .`, cannot insult you. As a gentleman you can it:;id will take no notice of her. If she speaks her words are not opprobrious. It is only when ste becomes a positive nuisance that you call a watchman and give her in charge to him." The latest New York papers contain graphic ac counts of the great Union meeting which was held in that city on the day prior to the Scotia's depar- ture.. It was a great and patriotic demonstration, P. na was regarded as a grand success. Five stands were erected in Union•square, and they were all surrounded by great and enthusiastic crowds. Speeches were made by Mr. Opdyke, mayor of New York, General Fremont, and other distinguished . _ - citizens. The New York Herald gives a great array of characteristic headings to its account of the event. Commencing with a picture of a spread eagle and the motto " - E pluribus unum," the following seu 4ences are displayed in large type :—" The Union —the Crisis ;" " Overwhelming outpouring of the people ;" " The enormous crowd at Union-square yesterday ;" " The metropolis speaks in thunder tones for the Union ;" " Over fifty thousand citi zens in council on the affairs of the nation ;" "No foreign intervention to be tolerated ;" " The crush ing out of a white-flag-man in a flash ;" " One united voice from fifty thousand throats for the Union, and one inseparable ;" " No step backward;" Speeches, songs, odes, and cheers ;" " The sudden and refreshing shower of rain ;" " Thunders of ap plause from the people, and thunder from Heaven for the great cause ;" " Terrible energy of the people for the suppression of the rebellion ;" " One union, one country, one destiny ;" " Tremendous enthu siasm for Little Mac and our gallant army ;" " Mil lions of men and millions of money for the preser vation of our great republic ;" "Our country, 'tis for thee ;" &c. The resolutions adopted by the meeting fully endorse the policy of the government, and urge the most energetic measures for the prosecution of the war. Among the resolutions was the following : Resolved,—That the Government of the United States and its people, with an occasional exception among the reckless inhabitants whe re this rebellion was fostered, have wisely and studiously avoided all interference with the concerns of other nations, asking and usually enjoying a like non-interference with their own, and that such is and should con tinue to be its policy. That this intimation of a con templated departure from this sound rule of conduct on the part of some of the nations of Europe, by an intervention in our present struggle, is as unjust to them as it would be to us and to the great principles for which we are contending; but we assure them with a solemnity of conviction which admits of no distrust or fear, and from a knowledge of and a firm reliance upon the spirit and fortitude of twenty millions of freemen, that any attempt thus to inter vene will meet a resistance unparalleled in its force, unconquerable in its persistence, and fatal to those whom it is intended to aid, and that it will tend only to strengthen and elevate the Republic. The Baltimore American has the following We learn from Mr. William Airey of this city, who escaped from Richmond on Tuesday last, that the rebel troops in and around the city, prior to the recent battles, were estimated at from 217,000 to 220,000. Large reinforcements from the direction of Petersburg had been arriving for the previous ten days and nights, which were said to be from the coast, but our informant could not ascertain whether any portion of them were of Beauregard's army. They arrived by railroad, and were marched during the night toward Hanover Court Howe. General Beauregard had been in Richmond several weeks, suffering from a severe attack of fever, and was still at Spotswood House confined to his room when Mr. Airey left. Generals M'Call and Reynolds are neither of them wounded. After remaining a day at the Spots wood House they were taken to the officers' prison. A gunboat, on the plan of the Merrimac, though much smaller, is rapidly approaching completion at Richmond, though great difficulty is experienced in obtaining iron for her armour. The obstructions in the James River were consi derably weakened by the recent freshets. One of the sunken vessels had so swung round that the Teaser was able to pass through, and was soon afterwards captured. Fort Darling has been greatly strengthened, and the batteries are iron-clad. A whole division of the army had crossed the James River on a pontoon bridge, to assist in its defence _against any land force. The bridges destroyed by General M'Clellan in the vicinity of Hanover Court-house have not been reconstructed. The forces of General Jackson had moved off (it was thought toward Fredricksburg), and it was said would again strike a blow in the valley. The Maryland rebel regiments with him, under General Lowe and Bradley Johnson, had suffered terribly in the fights with Fremont and Shields. Bradley Johnson's regiment had been cut down from 700 to 2)0 effective men. The greatest confidence was felt at Richmond among the rebels in their ability to destroy I \l'elellan's army, and those who had previously bent their families away were bringing them back a gain. The Union men were, however, confident of the final capture of the city. The cannon captured during the recent battles were all brought into Richmond, numbering about 2 3 Pieces , some of them howitzers, and 3 army rifled guns. They were all light pieces, and, with the exception of the howitzers and one English gu n, were sent to the foundry to be recast, the no shells t o fit rifled cannon. Not a rebels having single s iege piece had been captured, and much sur priseexpressed that all off. Al t el 11 was 6 an had succeeded in carrying them The falling back of the rebel army towards Rich mond had caused considerable dissati sfaction, as it was given out that 11`Clellan would be a t tacked in his present position. The Petersburg Express says that General M'Clellan has 100,000 men. of the Bth, gives th e The _Richmond Dispatch, following address of Jeff. Davis to his men:— To the Army in Eastern Virginia. Soldiers,-1 congratulate you on the series of brilliant victories which, under the favour of Divine Providence, you have lately won"; and, as the President of the Con federate States do heartily tender to you the thanks of the country, whose just cause you have so skilfully and heroically served. Ten days ago an invading army, vastly superior to you in numbers and in the material of war, closely beleaguered your capital, and vauntingly proclaimed its speedy conquest. You marched to attack the enemy in his entrenchments; with well-directed movements and death-defying valour you charged upon him in his strong positions, drove him from field to field over a distance of more than 35 miles, and, despite his reinforce meats, compelled him to seek shelter under the cover of his gunboats, where he now lies, cowering before the army so lately derided and threatened with entire subjugation. The fortitude with which you have borne toil and privation, the gallantry with which you have entered into successive eac h battle, must have been Avitnesstd to be f ully appreciated ; but a grateful po eple will not fail to recognise you and to bear you in loved ANt remembrance. .‘, ell may it be said of you t h a t you have done eno ug h for glory" but duty to a suffering country and to the cause of constitu tional liberty claims from You yet further effort. Let it be your pride to relax in nothing which can promote your future efficiency, Your one grand object being to drive the invader from your soil, and, carrying your standards beyond the outer boundaries of the Confederacy, to wring from an unscrupulous foe the recognition of your birthright, community, independence. (Signed) JEFFERSON DAVIS. The Federal fleet in James River comprises an immense number of vessels. There t re nearly 600 transports and war steamers between Newport News and Harrison's Bar, besides almost innume rable small craft, among which are 100 to 200 canal boats. Including the armed vessels recently arrived, the gunboat fleet numbers 20 to 25 vessels. A St. Louis telegram of the 15th says : Information from Corinth to Thursday says that General Halleck was there, and the various divi sions of his army in excellent condition and eager for active operations. Bragg has about 40,000 troops at Tussell's, and some 35,000 more are at Holly Springs and other places. Their movements are said to indicate offensive operations. Gen. Curtis had reached Helena, Arkansas, with his army, after fighting his way and defeating the rebels on the route. A Cairo despatch of the same date says : Wter has been let into the canal at Vicksburg, but the anticipations that it would soon cut a chan nel through are not yet realised. The work of deep ening it three feet has commenced. The guerillas near Memphis are becoming very bold, burning cotton almost in sight of the city. Disguising them selves as cotton buyers, they find where it is sec reted, and then come in force and burn it. Vicksburg accounts of the Bth inst. say the firing was quite rapid on that evening. The enemy re plied with rifled guns. No great damage was done on either side. The Grenada Evening Appeal, of the Bth, says the Vicksburg canal is progressing, with 5,000 negroes working upon it. On the 13th the Confederates, numbering between 3,000 and 4,000, attacked the 9th Michigan and 3d Minnesota Regiments in Murfreesboro. The fighting was desperate, but during the afternoon the 9th Michigan Regiment was surrounded and sur rendered. The Federal Generals T. T. Crittenden, of Indiana, and Du ffi eld were taken prisoners, The Unionists lost 30,000 dollars' worth of army stores. The loss of life was considerable on both sides. There was great excitement at Nashvill e , and an attack upon the c ity was expected. A Memphis telegram of t he 12th says ; General Grant has issued an order requiring the families of all persons connected with the rebel army or government to leave the city within the five days, or take an oath th a t th ey h ave no t an d will not furnish information to the enemy. This sweeping order is in consequence of constant com munication between persons in the rebel army and friends here. This order causes considerable excite ment. The Herald's correspondent at New Orleans writes as follows on the 30th ult. : Lieutenant G. C. de Kay, who, it will be remem bered was shot at Grand Gulf, Mississippi, about a month since, died last Friday morning from his wounds. The funeral which took place on Saturday even ing resulted in a scene so shocking that it is diffi cult to believe that it ()canned in the 19th century among a people who profess to be not only civilised but Christianised. As the cortege moved through the streets, women, in the garb of ladies, flaunted Secession badges, and mocked and jeered at the poor dead body of a brave boy, w►ho, in life, would have scorned to treat even his enemy with dis honour. At Christ Church where the services were held the front pews, the aisles, and the gallery were filled with a rabble of negroes, rowdies, and ragged boys, the women showing Secession badges freely. One of the women who scoffed at the re mains was the well-known Mrs. Phillip Phillips, who, with Mrs. Greenhow, was arrested last sum mer at Washington for treason, and who, it will be remembered, caused her house to be illuminated from basement to attic on learning of the Union defeat at Bull Run. When the funeral procession passed her in Charles-street, she, with other females, sat on the balcony and laughed and jeered at the sad display in an intentionally offensive manner. On General Butler's return to this city from Baton Rouge, learning of the disgraceful proceedings the day before, he was greatly enraged, and declared that if he had been here he would have bombarded the church with his artillery. This morning he ordered Mrs. Phillips to be arrested and brought before him. Accompanied by her husband she arrived about noon. General Butler asked her if it was true that she had behaved as above described ? She answered in the most flippant and contemptuous manner, " I was in good spirits that day." That was enough for the general, he at once issued the the following order Head-quarters, Department of the Gulf. " New Orleans, June 30, 1862. " Mrs. Phillips, wife of Phillip Phillips, having been once imprisoned for her traitorous proclivities and acts at Washington, and released by the cle mency of the Government, and having been found training her children to spit upon officers of the United States, for which act of one of those chil dren both her husband and herself apologised and were again forgiven, is now found on the balcony of her house, during the passage of the funeral pro cession of Lieut. de Kay, laughing and mocking at his remains, and on being inquired of by the com manding general if the fact were so, contemptu ously replies, I was in good spirits that day.' It is therefore ordered that she be not regarded and treated as a common woman of whom no officer or soldier is bound to take notice, but as an uncom mon, bad, and dangerous woman, stirring up strife and inciting to riot, and that therefore she be con fined at Ship Island, in the state of Mississippi, within proper limits there, till further orders, and that she be allowed one female servant and no more, if she so choose ; that one of the houses for hosipital purposes be assigned her as quarters, and a sol dier's ration each day be served out to her, with the means of cooking the same; and that no verbal or written communication be allowed with her except through this office, and that she be kept in close confinement until removed to Ship Island.—By order of Major-General Butler. " R. S. DAVIS, Captain and A.A.A. General." General Butler had confiscated all the property in New Orleans of the Confederate General Twiggs, and also that of Colonel A. C. Myers, the son-in law of General Twiggs. In the House of Representatives at Washington, on the 12th, the final Appropriation Bill for mis cellaneous objects was reported from the Committee of Ways and Means. It includes an item of half a million dollars on account of the emancipation of the slaves in the district of Columbia, and those to be made free under the Confiscation Bill. In the Senate, on the 14th, the bill for the ad mission of Western Virginia as a State was taken 11 1)) debated at considerable length, and passed. The bill as passed provides that all slaves from wit hin the limits of the State after July 4, 1863, shall b e fr ee. Mr. 'Wu_ I Militia ti e tl called up the bill amendin g the I The Senat e 1795' and offered a substitute for it. then adjourned. 1 (From th,e Times' Correspondent.) YORK, JULY 15. The 3 00 , 000 men whom Federal Government must add to i t s arm y this summer, ot or forego the E t W he o s ff t e w r r t i h tin hopeless cont est with the suits charm , manifest no readi ness a g t re t a h t e er dateofmy g . tolaselves than t hey did The voice of the re cruiting officer seems to have lost the youthful mind. The p rospect of a threeover years' —or a2O years'—war is not inviting. Knowing that M'Clellan has bee n driven from the swampsuc,f the Chickahominy, five miles from Richmond, 4Lo Harrison's Landing, 30 miles further from the Jerusalem of the crusade—a position said to be the very hottest in all Virginia at any time, much more in the hottest days of the hottest month of the year —patriotism takes time to consider how it shall act; and there is evidently less patriotism in the country than there was in the cool season, when there was still a reasonable hope that Richmond might be cap tured. During the last twelvemonth the flower of the country's manhood has gone to the war. One fourth of its numbers have left their bones on Southern soil ; another fourth has come home again, I sick, maimed, and disabled, and fit tor war no more. THE SUN LONDON, MONDAY EVENING; JULY 28, 1862. Even the " rowdyism" of the streets seems to have been exhausted, and no longer offers itself as food for powder, or as the substratum on which is to be rebuilt the shattered portico of the Union. The soldiers of fortune—the Irish, the Germans, the Norwegians, and all the non-American element who dreamt of conquering the South in order to divide the estates of the cotton planters among themselves —have lost faith in the realisation of their hope. The public mind is bewildered with the sudden change, and asks the reason. " The reason is," reply the Abolitionists, " that the Government is - : not in earnest in the war. It tries to conciliate the slave power. It tampers with the rebellion, and will not use the means which ' God and nature' have put into his hands. It will not even employ ,he black Unionists to do the digging and the renching and other hard work of the camp, and sacrifices its white soldiers in the unwholesome . _ swamps of Virginia in doing what negroes would do much better. The Government turns a deaf ear to the cry of the Abolitionists, and is supported by the great bulk of the Northern people. The next question that presents itself is, what is to be , done in the emergency ? " Stir up the great cities,' says the Executive to the Governors of the Northern States. And the great cities are stirred up accord ingly. Mass meetings are everywhere summoned by daylight and by torchlight. Cities, towns, and villages, from Maine to Maryland and from New York to Kansas, organise demonstrations to sup port the Government. The young men are advised and implored to volunteer. They are told that the State requires their aid to save the Union, which without them is lost. They are reminded that if they enrol themselves within a few days they will receive bounty and a bonus, as well as pay in ad vance, but that if they delay for a few weeks, or even days, the Government will be reduced to such peril that a conscription will be necessary, in which case there will be no bounty, and every ablebodied man between the ages of 18 and 45, on whom the lot falls, will be compelled to serve or pay for a substitute. These arguments are strong, but they do not produce the effect anticipated. The speakers are earnest and eloquent, but they fail to lash up the public mind to the excitement of bygone days, or to roll the little snowball into an avalanche. The crowd applauds the " bunkum" that is spoken, goes quietly home, and leaves no perceptible percentage of the listeners to swell the depleted army. The speakers themselves, with rare exception, do not offer to incur the personal sacrifices which they urge upon others—perhaps, like Mr. Everett, be cause they are too old to wield the rifle or brave the hardships and the malaria of the battlefield; or per haps, like others almost as eloquent as he, because they imagine they can serve their country better with their purses than with their right hands. But whatever be the reason, there is a palpable lack of enthusiasm in every other shape than that of talk. The Government is painfully aware of the fact, and striving to postpone the disagreeable arm ingnecessityof the negroes, which might help it out of one diffi cultyto plunge it into another far greater,has reduced the term of enlistment from three years to one, leaving the bounty money as before, with the view of securing the services of young men with families and others who object to the longer period. Per haps even this concession may fail of its effect. If it do, there must either be a conscription, an arming of the negroes, or an abrupt termination of the war. In the meantime the Government is doing its best to carry on hostilities upon the old principle, and the great cities are lending it all the support in their power. A mass meeting, which was confidently cal culated to prove one of the most numerous ever held in this city, took place this afternoon, at four o'clock, in Union-square, a large open space at the up-town extremity of Broadway, under the auspices of the Mayor and committees of the prin cipal inhabitants of all shades of politics except the democratics. Every nerve was strained to make it effective. The banks, warehouses, and public offices were closed at three o'clock to enable the working and professional youth of the city to be present. The result was a miserable failure. The corporation of New York and the Government navy-yard at Brooklyn are able between them to command the presence of 6,000 people at any celebration or gathering which they have determined to make suc cessful. They so determined in this instance. The carpenters and sailors of the navy-yard—one-third, or perhaps one-half, of the latter being British sub jects—marched in procession up Broadway to the number of 1,500 ; and the street-cleaners, scaven gers, and lamp-lighters, and everybody else who could be induced to be present by the potent per suasions of the Mayor and civic authorities, took their places at the appointed hour at the place of meeting. But, with all these aids and appliances, there were at no time so many as 6,000 people pre sent. It was not a large public meeting such as we see in England, in which one man's voice could ring over the whole assembly, but a collection of small public meetings. There were four or five stands, and four or five different sets of speakers; and although the newspapers of to-morrow that sympathise with the Government may represent it as "crowded" and " enthusiastic," I can report of it, as the result of my own observation, that there was no crowd and no enthusiasm ; that I walked from one stand to the other with as much freedom from pressure as I could walk down Regent -street or the Strand any day in the week, and that the general opinion of the public—expressed from man to man among the spectators—was, that the whole affair was what the Americans call a " fizze" and the Italians afiasco. Guns were fired, and groups of people sang the " Star-spangled Banner," and a few abolition speeches were delivered from the booths or rostra that were not heard by 20 people in a hundred, and that was all. How long the performances might have lasted, and what new life might have been in fused into them by more eloquent speakers, it is impossible to say, because at six o'clock, when the real business was, perhaps, about to commence, a violent storm of wind, rain, and lightning broke over the city. In less than 10 minutes Union-square was left to its normal quietude, and the great de monstration came to an untimely end. This meeting, as reported in the newspapers, may or may not arouse the enthusiasm of the young men of New York to the fighting point. if there be any left, to whom the life of the camp and 50c. a day offer any attractions. The probabilities are that it will fail, for if the " almighty dollar" (40 almighty dollars down on the nail) do not produce the men de manded, eloquence, however splendid, and logic, however persausive, are still more likely to be un successful. The cities of New England that, per haps, appreciate the power of the dollar more fully than New York, or the Yankee character is belied, add to the inducements held out by the Govern ment a supplementary bribe of their own, many of them haviik determined to offer each volunteer 75 dols. (West Cambridge, near Boston, offers as much as 125 dols.) over and above the Federal gratuity. Whatever the result may be in places like these, where the old and the rich are so willing to pay the young and the poor to fight for them, my own impression, from all I see and hear, is that not above half the 300,000 called for will bo ready within the 60 days of which 15 have already passed, and that ultimately the Government will be compelled, against its will, to order a con scription. That the South should have recourse to such a system, for the establishment of its indepen dence and the defence of its invaded soil, against an enemy who commands the sea and the great rivers, is natural; but if the North, with its territory un invaded, its liberties unthreatened, its indepen dence unattacked, and with double the population of the South, should adopt this method of replenish ing its armies, it will inflict a fatal blow on its own reputation, and make such a confession of weakness as will go further than any event of the war to convince the world that it cannot complete its work. To shout that the "country is in danger" u is to r a i se a war cry that stirs the hearts of men in s, b all ag e with which to say, as the North does, that the Union i s in d a nger, is to utter too weak a charm work enchantments. The North knows fully w e ll . and the the Union might perish and leave the liberty as safe as th ey were be _independence of the people re from a ll h an ds e xc ept th e ir own ; and the cry its people to a pit c h of is the re f ore power l ess t o rouse desp era ti on suc h qs .that which impels the South to action, and makes the women and the old men as warlike and as patriotic as the young. But, if the conscription be deemed unwise or dangerous, there remain the free negroes and the runaway slaves to aid the now veteran armies of M'Clellan and Pope. The President and his advisers seem to lack the courage to employ them. The pride of race and caste is so strong that millions of people who love the Union are ready to see it fall rather than fight its enemies with thelassist ance of black men. The President is not per sonally of this opinion, but yields to it, every now and then giving an unmistakeable indication that that the day may speedily come when he will throw himself more heartily on the side of the Aboli tionists, The longer the war lasts the more powerful these become. At every defeat of the Federal arms their voices are heard above the tumul, crying aloud, " Arm the negroes, and your reverses will be changed into victories; your humiliations into glories." The mishaps of M'Clellan at Richmond have brought them many converts, who admit at the last moment, what Mr. Wendell Philipps and other leaders of the party have all along proclaimed, that either slavery or the Union must perish," and who, if the matter were left to their decision, would let the Union go as the easier alternative. Though this party has failed to persuade the Go vernment to proclaim the freedom of the slaves, or to arm the blacks, it has bee❑ powerful enough in Congress to introduce a series of Confiscation Bills, which all aim at those results. So many of these bille were introduced by individual members on their own responsibility that they were submitted some weeks ago to a joint committee of both houses, which, after due deliberation, consolidated them all into one sweeping measure, which was passed in the House of Representatives on Friday by a majority of 82 to 44, and by the Senate on Saturday by a majority of 27 to 13. It is so severe and vindictive as to justify the supposition that the North has at last relinquished all hope of conciliating the South, if not the Border States, and that it is preparing to deal with the Cotton States as William the Con queror and his barons dealt with Saxon England. The measure has not yet received the signature of the President, and the representative of the Border States, most of whom voted in the minority in both houses, are understood to be using their utmost in fluence to induce him to veto some of the most Dra conic of its provisions. The measure provides that the President shall immediately issue a proclama tion offering an amnesty to all who within sixty days shall return to their allegiance. After the ex piration of that term, he is is empowered to seize the property of all rebels, and confiscate it to the use of the Government and the army, with the ex ception of the slaves, who are to be set free. The punishment of treason, in addition to confiscation, is to be death, or, at the opion of the President, imprisonment for five years, with a fine of 10,000 ' dollars. No rnnaway slave is to be delivered to any one claiming to be his owner, unless the latter can prove that he never aided or abetted the rebel lion, and is prepared to take the oath of allegiance. Furthermore, the President is authorised to employ the negroes, and use them for the suppression of the rebellion in any manner he may deem expedient. It needs but little knowledge of the South to foretell that, should this measure receive the Presidential sanction, it will act like oil upon flame, and harden the hearts of the whole people into fiercer hostility. As if the President were him self of opinion that all future conciliation of the Cotton States was impossible or inadvisable, and deeply impressed with the importance of weaning the Border States from the affection which they still entertain towards the South, he invited the whole of the Border delegation on Saturday to a confer ence at the White House. At this interview he presented them with the draught of a bill which he forwarded to Congress yesterday, imploring them to study it attentively, and telling them, morse suo, that the time had come when they must make up their minds whether they would or would not sup port:the Administration in its scheme for the gra • dual emancipation of the slaves in their respective States, and " that they must either catch fish, cut bait, or go ashore." From the temper displayed by these gentlemen it looks as if they would prefer to go ashore, and leave the Presidential boat altoge ther, with all its fish, present and prospective. The President's bill contains nothing new, and is merely the legal setting forth of the idea contained in his previous proclamation, promising the aid of the Federal Government to purchase and set free the slaves in any State in which the Legislature may constitutionally vote the emancipation, with this difference, which may perhaps prove essential, that he he no longer proposes to pay them in hard money but in Mr. Chase's " green-backs." There was much alarm in New York as well as in Washington, to learn that the President was again about to deliver himself on the negro ques tion, but it subsided as soon as the publication of the bill made it clear that no new measure was in tended, and that slavery was still to be left to the action of the States, which alone have a right under the Constitution to meddle with it. It is a favourite theory with many influential talkers and writers, that the bulk of the people of the South really love the Union, and would re turn to it with joy and gratitude if the tyrannical pressure exercised upon them by a few leading traitors were removed. The courtly Mr. Everett has more especially taken pains to promulgate this notion. In a recent oration at Boston he declared that the whole country would be at peace and har money if a few disturbing Robespierres were re moved. Facts do not confirm the philosopher's theory. The Irish labourers at New Orleans em ployed in clearing the streets by General Butler at a dollar and a half per diem—about as much as they could have earned at a similar job in a week in the old country—have taken the oath of allegiance ; but all the members of the municipal Government re signed their offices rather than comply, and almost every one in the city, above the social status of a day labourer or a negro, refused to take the oath. The city clergy continue obdurate, no prayers are offered up for the Union except in the Federal bar racks or camp ; and the women, if they no longer insult the soldiers in the streets for fear of the Calaboose, contrive to show their hatred by a thou sand little expedients of spite and malice, which not even the legal subtlety of General Butler can con strue into punishable offences, though they wound the sensibility of his " gallant" officers to the quick. Wherever the Northern armies have penetrated in the South the same feelings prevail, and are em bittered every day. Every battle that is fought, whatever may be its result, widens the gulf that has separated the North and South into two irreconcil able nations. The hatred between Frenchmen and Englishmen, and the social antipathies that kept them apart for centuries, were newt so strong—not even during the wars with Bonaparte—as the hatred that the South entertains towards the Yankees. As yet the hatred is not mutual, for the Yankees are rather proud of the pluck that the Southerners have displayed in the struggle, and boast that none but Americans could have acted with such heroism; but on the part of the South it is too intense for the good-natured people of the North to understand or appreciate. One reason, in addition to that afforded by the great question of slavery, is that the South are one people and the North are many. The Southerners are, in the main, of British stock. The Northerners are not British, either in sympathy or in descent, in any thing like the same degree. They are a composite or cosmopolitan multitude ; and, with the excep tion of a few old families in New England and else where who boast of their descent from the Pilgrim Fathers, or other early settlers, they have no bond of social or political union, and neither sympathy with nor knowledge of any part of Europe. Twenty -five years age, when South Carolina raised the question of nullification, under the in spiration of Mr. Calhoun, and when the seeds of secession, long before planted, first assumed vitality, the whole population of the Union, North and South, was 13,000,000. The South has now about 10,000,000, including the slaves, and the North about 20,000,000 including the free blacks ; so that the increase of population in the quarter of the century has been 17,000,000. The South has only increased at the natural ratio, having received little or no aid from immigration. The North and West have increased enormously, and not in the natural ratio. The Northern people are not prolific, and social causes are in operation in New York and in religious New England, which medical men are fully aware of, which place the natural,increase only on a par with that of France, where the same re sults flow from the same causes ; so that the great bulk of the extraordinary Northern increase is due to immigration. Comparatively few Englishmen and Scotchmen have swollen the stream that has set steadily towards the North, but immense numbers of Irishmen, Germans, Swedes, and Norwegians have annually poured into New York and Boston, and then spread over the great West. From the ranks of these people the bulk of the Federal armies have been recruited ; and if the fight between the North and South had, by mutual consent, been fought out by native-born Americans only it is all but certain that the North would have been beaten long ago. These Irishmen, Germans, and Swedes, and their children born on American soil, have no knowledge of the South, which is as unfamiliar to `them as Japan or Kamschatka. Neither have they any sympathy with England. They have, in fact, nothing in common with Englishmen except the language, which they are doing their utmost to deteriorate ; while the South, with blood less mixed, with purpose more defined, and with sym pathies with the Mother Country that may have been wounded, but that have never been extin guished, would rather vote itself back into the condition of a British colony than resume a place in the Union on any other terms than com plete mastery of the republic. The North has yet much to learn in this matter, and the Federal troops who now occupy Southern cities will have strange tales to tell when they return of the settled ani mosity of the people among whom their lot has been cast—hatred that cannot be conciliated, and that would make the restoration of the Union, were it politically possible, the one result which the North, if it valued its own liberty and prosperity, would, above all things, endeavour to avoid ; but the Union is a foreign, not a domestic question. Were the Union restored at any cost, America could be dictatorial to England and to all Europe. If it remain broken, the North must learn to be a little more humble in her diplomacy. That is the sore point, and the South is quite aware of it. The North continues to look to Richmond as the one great pivot on which the destinies of the Re public are to turn. The South, I have reason to believe, is not of the same mind. It meditates the recapture of New Orleans, and has the means to effect it. It also meditates a raid into Kentucky, the mere whisper of which has alarmed the great city of Cincinnati and the whole of Ohio, and which may yet alarm the Federal Government for other places in which defeat would be still more disas trous. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.-MAIDSTONE, July 26, Both 3ourts were opened thi3 morning at ten o'clock, Mr. Baron Martin presiding on the Civil Side, and Mr. Baron Bramwell in the Crown Court. There are 29 causes entered for trial, of which nine are to b© tried by special juries. CROWN COURT. Mr. Baron Bramwell in his charge to the grand jury, of whom Viscount Marsham was foreman, said that the calendar was rather heavy, but it was gratifying to see that although there were undoubt edly a great many very bad offences contained in it, still that there were none of those atrocious charges of personal violence and outrage that were to be found in the calendars of some other counties ; and he might also say that the county of Kent was not responsible for the whole of the crime that was represented in the calendar, inasmuch as out of the 86 prisoner who were to be tried 27 were soldiers, who might be looked upon as strangers to the county. There were two charges of wilful murder, and the first of them was against two prisoners who were charged with the murder of a gamekeeper. It appeared that the keeper was out on the watch with some other persons, and that they met the prisoners and several others, and the evidence ap peared to leave no doubt that they were engaged in an act which was known to the law by the name of night poaching, and that, at all events, they were guilty of that offence. A conflict took place, and a gun was fired and the keeper was killed, and there appeared to be some evidence that the person who discharged the gun was one of the prisoners. It was right, however, that he should tell them that if there should be any difficulty as to the person by whom the gun was fired —if they should be of opinion from the evi dence that the gun was fired by any one of the party, and that they were all actuated by one common object, and determined to resist the keepers to the last extremity, they would in that case all be guilty in the eyes of the law of the crime of murder, although the gun was only fired by one of them. There was some evidence of a common intention being entertained by all the party from the fact that it appeared that during the struggle one of them called out to the keeper and his com panions that if they came on they would shoot, and another was heard to say " Shoot him" before the gun was fired. He also believed that in night poaching expeditions a gun was not required, so that it would seem the only object of having such an instrument was to resist the keepers if it became necessary to do so. It appeared that during the fatal affray the unhappy keeper who lost his life struck one of the poachers with a flail, and he thought it was very probable that the man who was so struck was the man who fired the gun; and if this should turn out to be the case in his opinion it would reduce the crime from murder to manslaughter. The keeper had no right to strike the poacher with the flail, and if he did so it was an unlawful act ; and although it would not justify the poacher in shoot ing him, it would, undoubtedly in his opinion, re duce the crime to manslaughter, on the ground that the act was committed in the heat of blood arising from the blow the prisoner had received. The other charge of murder was a very singular one. There was very good evidence to show that the person accused of the offence wilfully set fire to a barn that contained a quantity of straw, and the flames spread rapidly, and an unhappy man who had gone to the barn to sleep could not get away and was burned to death. Under these circumstances the prisoner was charged with the crime of wilful murder ; and the law undoubtedly was that if a man committed a felony, and in the course of committing that felony took away another person's life, he was guilty of murder. There was an old case upon the point where a man shot at some fowls with the in tention to steal them, and killed a man, and this was declared to ba murder. If, therefore, they should be of opinion that the prisoner wilfully set fire to this barn, and that the de ceased lost his life in consequence of this act, it would be their duty to return a true bill for mur der against him. The learned judge then said that in the course of his address to the grand jury he had alluded to the fact that a considerable number of the prisoners in the calendar were soldiers, and he thought it was only due to the county to state this to show that it was not responsible, if he might use the ;expression, for the production of the whole number of prisoners ; but he thought he ought at the same time also to say, that in his opinion it ought not to be taken as an indication that the army had a disorganising effect upon those who entered it. A military life had attractions to many young men who did not possess steady feeling and habits, and, having once entered it, they were compelled to remain until their bad propensities dropped out ; and it should also be remembered that soldiers had a great deal of leisure time, and that this was a circumstance very likely to lead them into mischief; and it appeared to him that this showed the neces sity of continuing those exertions that had already been commenced to provide some rational occupa tion for the soldier, which would undoubtedly have the effect of improving his habits and condition. His lordship concluded by expressing his regret at finding by the calendar that 74 of the prisoners who were to be tried were unable either to read or write, or were only able to reed or write in an imperfect manner, and out of the whole number only one was stated to be able to read and write well. He said ke considered this a very lamentable thing, and he hoped that something would be done to improve the condition of the lower classes as regarded edu cation, as one of the most effectual means for the prevention of crime. Francis Gimber, 33, labourer, was charged with stealing a mare, the property of John Gardner. Mr. Russell prosecuted, and the prisoner was de fended by Mr. Ribton. It appeared that the offence imputed to the pri soner was committed so long ago as the year 1857, and he was subsequently tried at the Central Cri minal Court for stealing another horse, and the judge was informed of the present charge, and the prisoner was sentenced to four years' penal servi tude. Upon his discharge he was taken into cus tody for the offence of which he was now accused. The jury having returned a verdict of guilty, Mr. - Baron Bramwell said he believed that on the former occasion the Court had virtually punished the prisoner for the offence of which he was now convicted, and he had undergone the sentence. 1 10 should, therefore, on the present occasion only order him to be further imprisoned for the space of one plaintiff's traveller might I rave exercised more care week. in the transaction.

The other prisoner, Skirrett, was sentenced to 12 months' hard labour. As the prisoners were leaving the bar, Salisbury addressed his lordship and said, "All I have to say is that I hope you may sit there till I come back." Thomas Goss, 23, soldier, Henry Starr, 25, sol dier, Isaac Smith, 18, soldier, and Amos Walker, 24, marine, were charged with burglary. Mr. Russell conducted the prosecution. It appeared that the prosecutor was the landlord of a beershop at Sheerness, and on the night of the 10th of July the house was broken open and various articles stolen from the bar. The jury aequitted Smith and found the other prisoners guilty. It was stated that they had said when they were taken into custody that they committed the offence in order that they might escape from " soldiering," and avoid going to India, where their regiment was to have been sent. They were sentenced to 12 months' hard labour. CIVIL SIDE. (Before Mr. Baron Martin and a Common Jury.) CANDY V. SPENCER. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover the sum of £9l 7s. Bd., being the value of certain goods which were alleged to have been stolen by the negligence of the defendant. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. C. Pollock were for the plaintiff; Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Mr. Jacob for the defendant. This case involved a question of some considerable importance to innkeepers and the public. The plaintiff is a silk warehouseman, carrying on busi ness in Watling-street, and the defendant and his family have for a great many years carried on the business of the Mitre Hotel, in this town. On the 12th of May last, which is Maidstone fair day, it appeared that Mr. Perman one of the plaintiff's travellers, went to the Mitre in the course of his journey, having with him several packages of goods as samples, and one among them contained a quantity of valuable silk for ladies' dresses, and which was represented to be worth the sum claimed by the present action. All the parcels were handed to the boots, and he, it appeared, placed them in the lobby or entrance of the hotel, and in the course of the day the parcel containing the silk was stolen. The present action was therefore brought to recover its value, it being contended, on behalf of the plaintiff, that there was negligence on the part of the defendant's servant in placing a small article, containing valuable pro perty, in such an exposed position, and that the defendant as the innkeeper was consequently liable. Witnesses were called on behalf of the defendant, whose evidence went to show that the custom at the hotel was never to leave any packages in the lobby except large and heavy ones that could not easily be removed, and that shelves were placed in the commercial room for the special purpose of small packages being placed in them ; and it was also proved that Mr. Pernsan had himself told the boots to place the small package with the others, and but for this direction it was said that the parcel in question would have been carried into the commer cial room, where it would have been perfectly safe. Mr. Baron Martin, at the close of the examination of the defendant's witnesses, said he really could not see that their evidence had in any way touched the case that had been established for the plaintiff, or what question he had to leave to the jury. Mr. Lush submitted that the question ought to be left to the jury whether the loss would have oc curred if the plaintiff's traveller had exercised pro per care and caution. Mr. Baron Martin said it appeared to him that the point suggested by the learned counsel had nothing whatever to do with the case. The only question, as it seemed to him, was, did the defendant receive aria take charge of the goods of the plaintiff? And the evidence for the defendant appeared to have made out the plaintiff's case as far as this went. The servant received the goods, and it was his duty to have taken care of them, and if they were lost his master, the innkeeper, was liable. If any one went into an inn, and gave the servant his portmanteau, and he took charge of it, the master was responsible if he lost it. Mr. Lush reminded his lordship that there was evidence that the plaintiff's traveller had directed the boots to place the package in a dangerous posi tion, and that the usual course was to have placed I such an article in the commercial room. Mr. Baron Martin said he did not think this made any difference. Mr. Lush said he should certainly except to his lordship's ruling, and he contended that it Was clearly a question for the jury whether the plain tiff's traveller by his own negligence had not con tributed to the loss of the property. Mr. Baron Martin said the learned counsel was quite at liberty to address the jury on this point, although he himself thought there was nothing in it. COUNTRY AS: .1. , .. - YORK-SATURDAY.

Mr. Lush consequently addressed the jury, and he contended that there had been no negligence established against the defendant, who appeared to have done everything that could reasonably be ex pected from a person in his position to protect the property of his guests. He also argued that the loss had arisen in consequence of the traveller order ing the boots to place the package in question in an exposed situation, and that the loss, therefore, arose in consequence of his act, and not through any negligence on the part of the defendant. He sub mitted to the jury that the servants at an hotel were bound to obey the orders of the guests, and that it might as well be said that an innkeeper was responsible if a quest ordered the servant to place his luggage in the street, as to say that he was so in a case like the present. Mr. Baron Martin, in summing up, said that the jury must act upon the law as they found it to be, and although it might appear a hardship to make an innkeeper liable under such circumstances, still they were bound to act according to the law. A per son in the position of an innkeeper had the duty cast upon him of protecting the goods and . property that were brought into his house by his guest, and when once the goods were placed in his charge he was bound to keep them safely. .As to what had been said about the traveller ordering b the i oots to place the package in the hall, he thought t had nothing to do with the case. A traveller .had a perfect right to tell an inn servant to place lug gage, or any portion of it , in any particular ce his place, and if it was wrong or d a ngerous to do so, the ser vant should say so to h im, and it appeared to hi m that the present case was the very one in which th e law considered an innkeeper to ne responsible. Hi s lordship concluded by stating that the only ques tions for the j ur y to consider were, wheth er th e goo ds had remained in the charge of the plaintiff's traveller, or whether he bad been guilty of suc h negligence as had occasioned the loss of them, The Jury, after a short deliberation, found a ver dict for the plaintiff, but at the same time said they thought he ought only to have the actual value of the silk, which it was arranged should be tak en at £7O. They at the same time said they thought the NOTTINGHAM-SATURDAY. At our market this morning the show of wheat was fair, and the sales effected were at about the rates of last week.

FITZSIMONS.—Cork, Friday.--Mr. Walter Fitzsimons was sentenced this morn to 18 months' imprisonment, for endeavouring to obtain money by means of a forged instrumont from the Provin• cial Insurance Company. DREADFUL DEATH THROUGH INTOXICATION.-- , On Saturday Mr. W, Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, held a long inquiry at the Carlton Tavern, Carlton-road, Peckham, on the body of Mr. James Clarke Chickdestitch, aged 69 years, a gentleman of independent means, residing at Clifton-villa, Clifton-road, who met his death under the following dreadful circumstances. From the testimony of William Judge and other witnesses it appeared that on the 7th inst., about 9 o'clock in the evening, the deceased was seen seated near the railings of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum Old Kent-road, evidently under the influence of drink. Shortly afterwards he was found in the roadway, having been run over by a van belonging to Mr. Fisher, of the Walworth-road, laden with about three tons of goods. He was picked up and conveyed home, and a surgeon sent for. It further was shown that the driver of the van, who was quite sober at the time and driving with great care, knew nothing of the sad occurrence until some moments after it had taken place. Some further evidence having been ad duced, the coroner summed up, remarking upon the sad end of deceased while in a state of intoxication, and the jury consulted a short time, returning a verdict of acciden tal death, and entirely exonerating the driver ritf the van from blame. - - [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Pills.--Easy Diges tion.—These admirable Fills cannot be too highly appre ciated for the wholesome power they exert over all dis orders of the liver, stomach, bowels, and kidneys.
