PROSPECTUS. he Directors of this Company have secured, by agreement, the grant of the Mathilde Mines, situate at the foot of the north-western spurs of the Harz Mountains, close to Neuen krug, and distant about two miles and a half in a northern direction from the town of Secsen, and forty miles from the city of Brunswick. The area cf the grant is about twelve hundred statute acres. The surface of the property from east to west is free from break or interruption, whilst in a transverse direction it is depressed into a slight curve, having its greatest depth near the line of the main road. The geological position of the property included in this grant is precisely identical with that of the celebrated Mans field Mine, and there can be no doubt but that the cupreous bed so long and profitably worked by the Mansfeld Company also exists in the present grant. The thickness of the copper-bearing schist, at the points where it has been examined, is very uniform, and the en gineer reports it to exist, with little variation in this re spect, throughout the greater part of the lands included in the concess on. 'the strata overlying the Kupferschiefer offer no difficulty to the operations of the miner. The cost of piercing them must necessarily vary with the dimensions of the shafts. Labour can be freely drafted from the Ober Harz, and the scale of wages payable tor an eight hours' shift is one third less than is paid in England. Materials of every kind are readily procurable in the vari ous markets of Prussia. Saxony, and Westphalia, and ctn be transported to the mines by means of the railway whkh passes directly through the property. The Royalty payable to the Ducal Government is 1-20th of the value of all Ores raised, sold or smelted. No mini mum rent is imposed, neither is there any State supervision calculated to prevent the free and unrestricted development of the property. The copper schist deposit is only known to exist in the Mansfeld district, at the foot of the Harz Mountains and New Brunswick, British America, but it has alone been worked at Mansfeld. The value of this property and the tq gularity of the pro duce of the cupreous Ends may be best estimated by reference to the following statistics of the Mansfeld Mines, the weekly yield of which at present is upwards of £B,OOO worth of sil ver, and £16,000 worth of copper.

A large portion of the capital has already been subscribed, and the remaining shares are offered to the public as a sound and profitable investment. Abstracts of Reports of Mr. E. H. Blake, C.E., 25, Poultry, and Mr. Hausmann, Head Government Engineer, of Bruns wick and Hanover, are appended. The Reports, in extenso, as also the Analysis by Messrs. Johnson and Son, of Basinghall-street, and Messrs. Johnson and Matthey, of Hatton-garden, and samples of the ore, can be seen at the Temporary Offices of the Company. ABSTRACT OF MR. BLAKE'S REPORT. MATHILDE MINES, NEAR SEESEN, 11AHAUSEN, FORES T -REVIE R I.IAHAUSEN, GERMANY. This property, consisting of 1,200 acres of land, held under grant from the Government on liberal terms, is situated about three miles north-east of the town of Seesen, and is inter sected by the railroad from Brunswick, and also by the public road from Seesen to Goslar ; it consists of a basin of sedi mentary rocks, underlying N.W. at an angle of 12 deg. from the south boundary of the property, and extending from W. to E. through its whole length until cut off at the eastern boundary by an upthrow fault, on the east side of which are the clay, slate, and porphoretic rocks, forming the northern portion of the Harz Mountains. The peculiar value of this property is the existence of a bed of bituminous shale of the same character as the cele brated Mansfeld Mines. The shale is here eight inches thick, 'with four inches of copper sandstone, while in Mansfeld it is only four inches, and the sandstone ore is absent, but it is found at Sangerhausen, and is more productive of copper than the shale. The contents of w hi c h average in Mansfeld 11 per cent of copper. The identity of the bed is also proved by the fossil fish which are found between the lamina of the shale, and all in one position doubled up, having been all dead before being enclosed in the rock. The existence of this bed, under the whole property, has been proved by the shafts marked on map S., K., H., in the eastern portion, and two in the western, markek L„ in all of which the shale maintains the same character and strength. The depth from surface is, on the south side, about 30 feet ; and, in the deepest portion, where the main shafts should be placed, marked M., will net exceed 100 feet, while the depth of the Mansfeld Mine is 300 to 400 feet. There is also an ab sence of water, which offers great advantages in the cheap ness of working. This property being of quite an exceptional character, I considered it right to visit Mansfeld, to ascertain for myself the method of treatment of the ores, and also the cost of working and extracting the copper and silver ores, which have rendered these mines so famous. The weekly yield being at present £B,OOO worth of silver and £16,000 worth of copper from eight mines. The nature of this ore is such that it is treated at a mere nominal cost, and without any ex pensive chemical or patent process, and the ores at Mathilde Mines can be all treated in the same way. I now give you a statement of the expenses required, and the results which may be depended upon as being_ correct, the prices having been c are f u ll y ascertained from Mr. Asses sor Hausmann, of Brunswick, the head Government engi neer, and carefully checked by personal observations and in quiries at Mansfeld, wages being here one-third less than in England. I have, therefore, no hesitation in rectmmending you at once to complete the purchase of this most valuable property, which contains over 4,000,0u0 tons of ore ; 1,200 acres gives 54,140,010 feet, which, at 1i cent per foot, will yield a gross value of over .£5,C00,000 of copper, and allowing one halt for expenses, will yield £2,500,000 profit, without includ ing the value of the silver. ABSTRACT OF REPORT OF ASSESSOR HAUSMANN, GOVERNMENT MINING ENGINEER, BRUNS WICK. The new shafts to to the copper schists are from 31 to 100 feet deep, and Lecome deeper as you go farther north. In a westerly direction, through the length of the property, the depth may vary trona 30 to 100 feet, but in all other parts it Is uniform. The extraction of the schist and sand ores is contracted for at about 12s. per ton. The Railway crosses the property in its length from east to west ; there is a railway station close to the newly estab lished experimental shafts, and this is the place adapted for the erection of works for smelting the ores. There is a direct communication by rail to Harburgh, distance 80 miles; freight, 6s. per ton. According to experiments, up to this date, the copper schist and the sand ores have, on the average, produced two per cent. of copper ; and, in each hundredweight of copper, four oz. of silver—there being a considerable portion of gold in the silver. The copper schist layer has everywhere, as in the county of Mansfield, the same strength, 14 inches, whereof 7i inches is malleable ore, and 2} inches sand ore. The whole strength of the malleable bed, 10 inches. These items are given in minimum. Lit conclusion, I beg to say that in these flat beds where the copper schist layer is equally diffused, the profits from these 2 per cent. ores have a great advantage over copper ores of a richer per centage, which in England and other countries are firm, mixed with gangues. I must not omit to mention that the whole of the copper, sChist layer has a considerable and equally diffused amount of bitumen, photogene, and salarial oil, &c., which is birong that a heap of it once ignited by a little wood for roasting purposes, continues to burn without further trouble. Applications for shares must be made in the form annexed to the Prospectus, accompanied by the deposit of £1 10s. per Share. If no allotment be made, the deposits will be returned in full; and it a less number be allotted than is applied for, the surplus will be used towards the payment on allotment. Prospectuses and Forms of Application: for Shares may be obtained at the Temporary Offices, and of the Bankers, Brokers, and Solicitors of the Company. F P P ORM O APLICATION FO SHARES.

Baron Stockmar had born faithftil attendant and companion of Prince Leopold of Saxe -Coburg, even before the marriage of his Royal Highness with the Princess Charlotte; and when his estab- lishment was formed in England Baron Stockmar was appointed Controller of the Household. He continued the friend of Prince Leopold after ho accepted the throne of Belgium, though he was ne longer in attendance on him, and at intervals he passed much of his time in England, where he en joyed the confidence of the Duchess of Kent to an unlimited extent. In these days of her early child hood the Queen's friendship for, and confidence in, Baron Stockmar began, and continued without in terruption to the present moment. Before the mar riage of Prince Albert with the Queen his Royal Highness employed the autumn of 1838-39 in a tour in Italy, and Baron Stockmar was requested by the King of the Belgians to accompany his Royal High ness upon this journey, and for no one did the lamented Prince entertain greater regard and esteem throughout his life. ing, Flint, 27; Lord Bury, Civil Service, 25 ; Capt.

Those who had the privilege of k now i ng well this extraordinary man could appreciate th e charm of his society. With an intellect seldom sur passed, an d a fund of general informati on rare l y equalled, Baron Stockmar combined a playfulness and gentleness in conversation and manner which made him a companion such as is seldom met with in society, but it was in the chivalrous honour and in flexible justice with which be applied his mind to any question submitted for his opinion and advice, and in his kindness and goodness of heart, that his chief value was felt. No personal feeling, no advocacy of particular principles, could divert his judgment from the real substantial justice of the case before him, and long experience taught those who knew him well that the Baron's opinion was not only the re sult of most acute examination of the subject, but was founded upon morality and truth. Well known to most of the great men of all ranks in Europe, the Baron was esteemed and consulted by most of those whose good opinion was valuable. Of naturally a weakly constitution, and fre quently an invalid, the energy of his mind had con stantly conquered the feebleness of his body, and he had been able to serve with a labour of love all those to whose service he had devoted himself up to a short time since, when his increasing infirmities and failing health obliged him to confine himself to his residence at Coburg. For many years he passed a very large portion of his time in England, living at the Palace, as the dearly valued friend of the Queen and Prince, and even when last at Coburg he paid daily visits to the Queen, and it may be supposed her Majesty derived much consolation from these conversations with one who had so intimately known her beloved husband. An attack of paralysis upon the 6th warned his friends that the separation, for which his rapidly increasing weakness had prepared them, was at hand, and at 3 o'clock in the morning of the 9th inst. he sank to rest.

Up to Saturday evening, Serg. Hardcastle, of the Royal Horse Artillery, Woolwich, who has charge of the ammunition tent, had sold nearly 80,000 rounds. The ammunition used at the meeting was made at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, and taken to the magazine in Hyde Park. There is now in store at that place 260,000 rounds, and only suffi cient is brought down to Wimbledon each day for consumption. On Wednesday there were strong apprehensions that the store would not last out the meeting, and therefore the telegram was sent to Woolwich, ordering 100,000 more rounds to be got ready. The charge to volunteers is 6d. for every ten rounds. Each day during the past week about 500 per sons have breakfasted, dined, and had tea in the refreshment tent, As a matter of course the con sumption of food has been very large, and as it may be interesting to some we give a few of the items in the consumption list for one day ;—Meat, 12001bs.—salmon, 1001bs.—potatoes,8001bs.—green peas, l loo quarts—bread (baked in their own ovens), 200 41b. loaves—cobs or dinner rolls, 1,000-50 hams. Ale (home brewed), 1,000 quarts—Guiness's draught stout, 1,000 quarts—Bass's pale ale, 100 dozen—Guinness's bottled stout, 100 dozen—lemo nade, 150 dozen—sodawater, 100 dozen—tea and coffee, 501bs. each—milk, 200 quarts. His loss will be deeply mourned by the Queen, and will, we fear, add to her sorrow and affliction. Her Majesty had, doubtless, looked forward with satisfaction to seeing him again on her approaching visit to Coburg. Death of General Sir Thomas Erskine . Napier, K.C.B. Naval and Military Intelligence. The colonelcy of the 71st (Highland Light In fantry) Regiment of Foot has become vacant by the death, on the sth inst., at his seat in Scotland, of General Sir Thomas Erskine Napier, K.C.B. He was second and youngest son of the Hon. Charles Napier, second son of the sixth Lord Napier of Merchiston, and brother of the late Admiral Sir Charles Napier, and was born May 10, 1790. The late general entered upon his military career just after he had attained his 15th year, in the 52d Regiment, and served with that regiment at the s i eg e of Copenhagen and battle of Kiogo in 1807, and in the following year acted as aide-de camp to General Sir John Hope in the expedition to Sweden. Sir Thomas served subsequently in General Sir John Moore's campaign in Spain, in cluding the retreat to and battle of Corunna. He served in Sicily with the 52d until the autumn of 1810, and afterwards served on the staff in the Peninsula, including the defence of Cadiz, battle of Fuentes d'Onor, second siege of Badajoz, battles of Salamanca, Vittoria, Nivelle, and the Nive, &c,, slightly wounded on the 10th December and se verely on the 11th, when he lost his left arm. In 1838 he was made a Companion of the Order of the Bath, and in May, 1860, a . Knight Com. Foot ; *and on the death, the summer of 1859, of was trans ferred to the 71st Regiment..

On Thursday evening Capt. ] Auce and a portion of his officers, with the American Vice-Consul, Mr. James Garrett, were entertained at the Admiralty-house, Ports mouth, by Vice-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, G.C.B. The greatest possible good feeling has existed between Capt. Luce and his officers and the English Naval officers and authorities. The following appointments were made on Satur day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Rich. Sheepshanks to the Excellent, additional, for service in the Stork ; Lieut. Edward Poulden to the Excellent; H. F.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1863. sword of one out of the two contending armies—no patriot, no statesman,no far-sceing philosopher who can grapple with great principles, and make his countrymen understand and adopt them. The only philosophers have been the abolitionists of the stamp of Mr. Wendell Phillips and Mr. Horace Greely— men whose philosophy brought on the war, but which has been utterly unable to control or shape it. The mass of the people, impulsive for a short and sharp campaign, have long since cooled down to the ordinary temperature of the sordid atmos phere in which they have their moral being, and are beginning to find consolation for the degrada tion of the conquest that appears inevitable in the fact that, at all events, their conquerors are Ameri cans, and that both parties to the family quarrel were so high and so mighty that Europe was afraid to intervene in a struggle so tremendous. A false step, however, on the part of General Lee may divert the feeling into a new channel. An unex pected victory to the Northern arms may set them frantic with the old patriotism, or something else that masquerades under that name. It is despair of Mr. Lincoln, his Cabinet, and his generals, and dis like to revolutionary violence to dispossess them or set them right, that makes the Northern public sympathise with such gallant Americans as General Lee and Mr. Jefferson Davis; but if Mr. Lincoln, his Cabinet, and his generals should, by what bil liard players would call a " fluke," achieve a great success and drive the Southern invaders back into Virginia, the whole aspect of Northern feeling would be changed, and the people would clamour for war and subjugation as obstreperously as ever. The action of the Federal Administration hasnot been of a nature to show that it had any foresight a month ago, or that it has any now. General Hooker, knowing that his army was demoralised by its want of confidence in him—a fact on which he ought to have acted long before General Lee had foiled and outwitted him—desired in the very face of the foe to be relieved of his command. The President granted the request — unaware, apparently, of the immensity of the peril involved in such a change at such a moment — and appointed as his successor General G. B. Meade, of whom few had ever heard, who has gained no laurels in the battlefield, but who is known to the Army of the Potomac as an excellent topographical engineer, and a painstaking, hardworking General of Division. It is in favour of General Meade that he is not, like his predecessor, a " rowdy," a profane swearer, and what is called in America a "blower" or boaster ; but a quiet, unassuming man, with the language, manners, and reputation of a gentleman. This is a great though unappreciated advantage. The democratic soldiers of America may consider themselves the political, or even social equals of their officers, but they like to see a gentleman in com mand—if rowdies themselves they detest rowdyism in their officers. And this was one of the secrets of M'Clellan. He was just to his men, careful of their health and comfort, never indulged in the language of the bar-room and the " groggery," never lost his temper or his good manners, or forgot what was due to: his own dignity or that of the ;humblest per son with whom he was brought into contact. In these respects General Meade is said to be his equal. A few days will show what other qualities he has to fit him for his perilous station. If he be not as good a soldier as General Lee—which few venture to hope —it will fare ill with the luckless Army of the Po tomac, which now serves under its seventh com any confidence i n one o f mender, and never put them. Had Mr. Lincoln seen fit to appoint that one —the unfounded rumour of whose recall sent gold down one and a half per cent. yesterday, and stocks up in a still greater proportion ; had he sent to him the instant that General Hooker desired to be re lieved, he would have inspired it with new life and hope, and deprived the coming battle of much of its inequality. He has not done so, and the conse quence is that the great majority of people look upon General Meade's defeat as all but certain, and resign themselves to it with a kind of bewildered curiosity, like that of children at a play, asking with their eyes rather than with their tongues, "What next ?" Mr. Lincoln and his advisers do not show to any advantage in their persistent hostility to the only man in whom, rightfully or wrongfully, their principal army, and that on which the safety of the Republic depends, has any confidence. It is as serted by some who are in a position to be well in formed that Mr. Lincoln, in view of the pressing danger, proposed so lately as Friday night last to waive his personal objections to General M'Clellan; that he was supported by one member of the Ca binet, Mr. Seward, and opposed by all the rest; and that he yielded to the majority against his own judgment. Mr. Jefferson Davis has a will of his own in such matters. Being an excellent soldier himself, no inferior soldier can be palmed upon him as a military genius. Political trickery is not allowed either to place a man at the head of an army if he be incompetent, or to displace him if he be efficient. Had Mr. Lincoln been equally wise in this respect, it is likely that he, too, might have had, not merely one, but half a dozen good Generals in his service, and that at this moment the war would not have been transferred with all its attend ant horrors from Southern to Northern territory. One reason given for the violent opposition of the Cabinet to General M'Clellan, and for Mr. Lincoln's easy acquiescence in their decision, is that he is a formidable candidate for the Presidency. Mr. Seward alone has renounced the vain ambition of filling that dangerous chair ; and to him, therefore, M'Clellan is a soldier only, and not a politician. To all the rest, and to Mr. Lincoln himself, who dreams of re-election, he is a politician, and there fore a dangerous and hated rival. General Meade is in a happier position. He w as not born in America, and, according to the Constitution, is ineligible to the Presidency. When, 48 years ago, he came into this troubious world his father was Consul of the United States at Cadiz, and husband of a Spanish lady, so that Gen. Meade, though he may fill any other office in the State, can never become President, unless he carve his way to the office by the sword, and set the law and theSonstitution at defiance. All the Fe deral cfficers who happen to have been born of American parents in Europe or elsewhere are con sequently, in mercantile phrase, "looking up." Their chances of promotion are presumed to have greatly improved, since Mr. Lincoln's principle of action in this important matter became generally understood. In its urgent want of soldiers the Cabinet has spread its net to catch the returning veterans whose time has expired —a body, it is supposed, of between 50,000 and 60,000 tried and hardy men. Were M'Clellan re-appointed, a large proportion of them would willingly re-enlist. They have been some what unfitted for peaceable pursuits by their long service in the camp, and having tasted the fierce excitement of battle are unhappy for want of it. But they do not care to serve under " rowdies" and " blowers," unless upon much stronger inducement than has hitherto been held out to them. The mere danger of the country is not a sufficient stimulus to their patrietism ; and the Adjutant-General, under the instruction of the W ar Department, has offered bounties to the amount of 402 dols. a head to such of them as will return to service for three years or the war. It is too easy to ascertain the effect the dem i . ment has had, or will have, on the minds of this class ; but the indications are that the Federal Go vernment will not be able to purchase another army of 50,000 in this manner, though willing to pay up wards of 20,000,000 o f greenbacks, in addition to the regular charges for the maintenance and equip ment of such a host. And the fact that at such a time such a bribe should have been offered shows that the Government, though empowered by Con gress to raise what armies it pleases by a forced conscription, is afraid to resort to so unpopular a measure. If there were any patrioti sm l e ft in the country to be act e d upon, now is the time, t h e world will think, when Mr. Lincoln should have appealed to it boldly and called out half a million of men to save the endangered nation. Nothing has so greatly shown the weakness of the Northern cause as Mr. Lincoln's disinclination to use his weapon in the extremity of his need. The conscription is a dead letter, and Mr. Beecher's assertion that "God and the negro must save the republic," if it is to be saved at all, receives an unexpected commentary in the stern resolve of the working classes, rural as well as urban, from whose ranks alone the army can be efficiently repleted, to take no part in a salva tion of which they either despair, or have ceased to take any interest. _ . Under all aspects, the present seems the darkest hour of Northern fortune. While Gen. Lee is threat ening the national existence at one paint; the clash of arms resounds at a hundred others. Gen. Dix, with 10,000 men, is marching towards Richmond, with the fond hope that the Confederates may not have left sufficient force to protect it—a hope that may prove illusory. Vicksburg, which has been re provisioned and reinforced, and all Gen. Grant's bravery and strategy have been up to this time em ployed in vain. Port Hudson makes equally stub born defence; and as Gen. Magruder has advanced through Texas to the country of the Bayou Teche, and cccupied all the rich district conquered but two months ago by Gen. Banks, and has arrived by that route with 17,000 men to the relief of Port Hudson, it is feared not only that Gen. Banks' little army will be compelled to surrender, but that New Orleans itself will pass into the hands of its rightful owners. The army of Rosecrans is on the move to crush Bragg at Tullahoma, but Bragg, whose forces have been greatly diminished to augment the invading hosts of Lee, has slipped through his fingers in full march to Chattanooga, the key to the central rail road system of the Mid-South, where he can defy an army thrice as strong as that of Rosecrans. Upon this position the Confederates have for more than a twelvemonth expended all their available resources, as well as all skill and science, so as to make it in every respect the most formidable on the continent.

Whatever may be the alarm or panic that may prevail in those portions of the hitherto safe and peaceful North which have experienced for the first time within the last few days the actual presence of that grim and gaunt fiend of war whose aid the Northern people have invoked for the subjugation of their Southern. brethren, New York takes the ,nvasion of Gen. Lee with almost as much coolness as if Pennsylvania were as remote as Japan. The Confederate commander, at the head of at least 100,000 men, occupies large districts of Pennsyl vania and Maryland, threatening at one and the same time the great cities of Pittsburg, Wheeling, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, and 50 minor towns. His hosts seem to be übiquitous. They are heard of at one moment within five miles south of Washington, carrying off stores, provisions, horses, and cattle. At another they are discovered 14 miles to the north of it, tearing up the railroad that con- fleets Washington with Baltimore. They are within sight of Harrisburg, the State capital of Pennsyl vania, which can offer no effectual resistance—a place more than 100 miles in another direction; and it seems as if they had only to decide which of the rich cities of the North they first desired to capture, in order to be able to pounce upon it before aid could arrive from any quarter. Philadelphia is in a state of absolute terror, for it is believed to be the inten tion of Gen. Lee to make the wealthy storehouses and overflowing granaries of that thriving commu nity the first prize of his bold invasion. The bankers are packing up their gold and securities and sending them to New York for safer custody. The ladies are making the same disposition of their plate and jewelry. The timid of both sexes are disappearing "tom their homes, as fast as steam can carry them, to New York, New England, and Canada. Those who cannot get away are making the best of circum stances, and the clergy are volunteering, a hundred at a time,to dig in the trenches that are being hastily constructed for the protection of the city. But, not even in Philadelphia does there seem to be a real patriotic ardour. Whatever is done is done out of fear. The slow Germans and the slower Quakers are either as stupid as sheep, or they have so little heart in the war as to hail the victories of the Southern hosts as substantial blessings which will speedily bring peace in their train. War when it raged on the Mississippi or the Rappahannock was all very well in their estimation, but war on the Delaware and the Susquehanna is an abomination on which they did not calculate. If the Confede rates will but spare their city and pay their way honestly for the provisions and dry goods they may need they will be tolerably satisfied. At Baltimore the only alarm that exists is on the part of General Schenck and the Federal troops. The streets continue barricaded, the guns of Fort Mackenzie are pointed towards the city ready to lay it in ashes should its people attempt an insur rectionary movement in favour of the Confederates; while General Schenck finds time amid the multi plicity of his duties to close the Maryland club, an association of gentlemen which would not admit him to the honours of membership, and take military possession of its saloons, its reading rooms, its kitchen, and its wine-cellar. At night, when the air in that Southern clime is cool, balmy, and re freshing, and the moonlight so clear and beautiful es to tempt everybody into the streets and gardens, the ladies sit upon their doorsteps in their silks and satins, talking what General Schenck considers foul treason, but what the ladies themselves consider patriotic devotion to the rightful cause. Sometimes they join in chorus as a Federal soldier passes by to taunt him with the melancholy music, or the bold defiant words of " Maryland, my Maryland." At others, if the sound of a bugle or the crack of mus ketry is heard in the distance, they rise from their seats to listen more attentively, and to pray for the speedy arrival of that " dear Southern army" upon whose coming to deliver them they have never ceased to speculate since the war began. In New York the apathy is incredible. No public meetings are held. The redoubtable Mayor, so great at Loyal League meetings, is unaccountably silent. The war contractors make no sign. The fiery orators of extermination are mute. The youth of the city, in stead of rushing to the relief of Pennsylvania, attend to their work and business as if nothing was the matter. An invasion, greater in its objects and more formidable in its numbers than that of Eng land under William the Norman, has commenced, and cities less than 150 miles from New York have opened their gates to the conqueror, and yet New York gambles in gold and stocks as fervently as of old, and talks with contempt of the suggestion of a few newspapers for a levy en 'muse to confront the audacious foe. In fact, it seems—so complete is the change in the public sentiment—that if Gen. Lee would only be good enough, having captured Wash ington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia, and left Gene. Hill, Longstreet, and Ewell in charge of them, to march to New York, everybody would be well pleased. People who six months ago were almost rabid in their passionate assertions that under no circumstances would the North consent to a separa tion are resigned to the catastrophe, while many who still believe that the Union can be restored consider that Gen. Lee is far more likely to achieve the object than Mr. Lincoln. " Let Gen. Lee come to New York," they say, "and declare the South is the legitimate representative of the Government founded by Geo. Washington —that it is the North which is in rebellion, and which has destroyed the Constitution ; and let him at the same time invite the separate States to return to their allegiance, and decide to which party they will adhere, and the Union will be restored. New York, New Jer sey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Kentucky, Tennes see, Missouri, and the Great West will all cast their fortunes with the South. The only dissentients will be the six little States of New England, and we will either hold them as a conquered depen dency, and lay them waste with fire and sword, as a punishment for having brought this war upon us, or we will exclude them from the Union—to join Canada if they see fit—or to govern themselves in their own way, as a free, though a despicable little nation." This is the substance of the opinions that are openly and earnestly expressed, and if it enter ed into the calculations of the Southern leaders to restore the Union in the mode proposed, it is scarcely a question that Gen. Lee, after his first great vic tory—whenever he may choose to win it—would be supperted in such a project by three-fourths of the Northern people, except those of New England; and that he and Mr. Jefferson Davis might ride in triumph up Broadway, amid the acclamations of a more enthusiastic multitude than ever assembled on the continent of America. It is possible, however, that a different state of feeling may exist to-morrow. The Americans are a people not easily to be under stood. They do not affect even to understand them selves. They are impulsive, and yet cautious. They love liberty, but they love money much more. They respect the Constitution, but they allow it to be trampled under foot. They despise such men as Pope, Burnside, and Hooker, who have been fight ing their battles ; but they respect the memory of Stonewall Jackson, and consider Gen. Lee the bravest gentleman, the gallantest soldier, and the most consummate general in America, it not in the world. If they have any feeling except that of con tempt for their constitutional chief magistrate, and the civilians and military men whom he summons to his aid and admits into his confidence, it is diffi cult to discover it ; and, if they are not at the pre sent time heartily disgusted with the war, and utterly hopeless of bringing it to an honourable issue, it is quite impossible to account on any other supposition for their remarkableapatolifyGean. Lee.ndun- concern and the astounding progress But short hours may bring great chang es. The North i f has no great men, not one wbo has risen to the height of the might argument that has to be solved by the THE ARMY. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, as Field Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, had a levee on Saturday afternoon at the Horse Guards. Above 70 officers attended the levee. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, ac• companied by Lieut.-Gen. Sir d. Y. Scarlett, K.C.B.
