If*,t:: then why is it that not only has the Southern Commander-in-Chief adopted an aggressive policy, but that in the opinion of most men it is believed that policy will bo crowned with success? The answer to this question is to be found in the peculiar nature of American institutions, and the s t ra ngeness of the light in w hich the issue of the war is regarded by one at least, of the belli gerents. However singular it may appear, there are many in the Northern States who are perfectly indifferent which of the contending sections of the republic should prove victorious provided that ulti mately the Union should be re-established. To these persons—and they are more numerous than is imagined—it v;ould matter little whether Lincoln should dictate to the S mthern States from Rich mond, or Davis to the Northern States from Wash ington. lliTce it happens that the advance of the Southern Commander-in-Chief is regarded with 7eplings which on this side of :he Atlantic it is so difficult to comprehend. The attr-ret to dictaiu terms to the South hv failed, and tow there appears to be a willingness to discover whether a similar end e ,nnot be attained by allowing the he Pennsy lvanians, Mouth to dictate teems to the North. To this fed mg must he ascribed the strange apathy pith which re garded the inv , sion of Gen. Lee. though opposed lo slavery, ing was well know n rate Command • C • enterprise which would io the Contede er-in- hief the existence of this feel and it doubtless in the extreme. otherwise have been rash prompted an Nine have elapsed since the Confederatesthat period m last crossed hoccurred the Potomac, and during _ il to shake the confi dence of the Northern time e ul th tion in the prowess of they fondly imagined Southern armies which at one would overrun the entire area o e that Gen. L e e Con federacy. But supposing de feat Meade and enter Washington as a victor, should would be the consequences ? Again we must whatv revert to to the singular condition of public opinion in t u ' r w t . North for a reply. Would the North act in suell a contingency as the &nth would have acted if Richmond had fallen ? We are inclined to think not. Neither strategically nor politically is tho security of Washington indispensable to the North ; but stilt if it was occupied by a Confederate army we believe the war would come to a close. The North is utterly disgusted with the Administration whi c h has now for two years and a half done its best to lead the country into irretrievable ruin. We con sider that, with the fall of Washington, the Go vernment would equally fall, and its successors, appointed, would command the homage of the multitude. There is at this moment, as indeed there has been throughout the entire war, a thorough want of patriotism, in the European acceptation of that term, in the Northern States. The sentiment expressed by the Federal officers when flying from the first battle of Bull Run of having been " licked into a cocked hat," has never ceased to pervade the language in which the Northern population have always spoken of their reverses. The people of the free States have witnessed, without the slightest feeling of shame, an army cross their fron tier and threaten their principal. towns. And with the same absence of shame we verily believe they would see General Lee march into their capital at the head of a victorious army, and dictate the con ditions which should henceforth regulate the politi cal system of the American Federation. Already sanguine politicians in the North have begun to speculate on the possibility of the Union being re stored in its original integrity under Southern auspices, and have gone so far as to express a hcpe that, under the restoration, the North may once more secure its previous supremacy. "We will fetch up again on that arrangement," writes Man hattan, the correspondent of one of our contempo raries, " for we can outvote if we cannot outfight them." But it might possibly have occurred to Manhattan and those whose spokesman he is, that the South has not " outfought" the North in order to afford the latter an opportunity of after wards " outvoting" it. Setting aside political con siderations, is it at all probable that the South would ever coalesce with a people which has laid its territory desolate, and which would, if it had. been possible, have exterminated its population? The bare idea of such a contingency appears to our mind so inexplicable that again we are obliged to account for its being entertained by referring to the singular condition of opinion in the North. It is scarcely necessary to say that the Southern States will, if they prove victorious, form an independent league. They have learnt too bitter a lessen during the administration of an ultra republican President not to profit by the morel which it inculcates. Slavery is no doubt an odious institution ; but fur that very reason there can bo no amalgamation of States it by some it is tolerated and by others disavowed. The separation which hue at length taken place between the free and slave States of America was foreseen long since by Ame rican statesmen ; and the only cause for wonder is that it was so long postponed. It is much to be regretted that the separation was not effected, as it might and ought to have been, in peace ; but having occasioned a war, the bloodiest ar.d most disastrous with which modern history has made us acquainted, it would be strange indeed if it was not final. HERALD.--Lord Russell is the last man in the world to get out of a mess with dignity. The award of the King of the Belgians has given him an excel lent opportunity for abandoning the absurd position he now occupies in respect to Mr. Christie's demands and Admiral Warren's reprisals. Still he cannot make up his mind act upon Sir Lucius O'Trigger's principle, that an affront handsomely apologised for becomes an obligation. But he endeavours to con ceal his defeat and his errors by the agency of the Portuguese Minister at the Court of Brazil. Well, we do net desire to see an English Minister on the stool of repentance, a butt for all the jests of foreign journalists, and we shall be heartily glad if the g oo d offices proffered may be made the means of restor ing friendly relations between the Governments of B r azil and this country.

Nobody can mistake it."—The Press, July 12. L. Booth, 307, Regent-street, W. TIMES,—We cannot think that the cause of eco nomy has gained much by the debate on tha Spit head Forts. Thos.:, who object to our present large expenditure on armaments and fortifications should be careful how they descend from the high vantage ground long since occupied by Mr. Bright to the detailed criticism of schemes the principles of which they are forbidden to question. There may be some thing t 3 be said for reducing the whole scale of our naval and military establishments, and preferring the remote chance of being invaded to the yearly reality of heavy taxation. There may be something to be said for trusting entirely to our navy, and keeping up such a fleet as would sweep . the Channel and drive our enemy's ships into their own !ports at the first outbreak of war. When Mr. Cobden recognised the reason ableness of our maintaining a marked naval superiority over our neighbours, he probably had some such idea in his mind, and believed that with a powerful steam fleet we could dispense with coast defences as well as with a costly military force. We need not here discuss the wisdom of these theo ries, but they at least profess to rest upon principles, and deserve for this reason to be treated with re spect. We can hardly say as much for the position taken up by Sir Morton Peto and Mr. Osborne on Monday night. These gentlemen do not openly call in question the expediency of contemplating the in• vasion of our shores as a possible contingency, and taking practical steps to meet it. They do not, so far as we understand, consider our navy an ade quate safeguard by itself. Whatever be their pri vate opinions, they meet the Government upon its own ground. "I entirely admit the importance of our sea defences," says Sir Morton Peto. " I have never denied," says Mr. Osborne, " that the protection of our dockyards against attack should be the first consideration in providing de fences." To what, then, did they talc?, exception ?

This narrowed the issue materially, and if the opponents of forti fication showed bad generalship in selecting their point of attack, they must not complain of having been left in a somewhat ignominious minority. We freely admit that if we had to make our option between forts and ships, and if we were bound to be governed exclusively by the expe rience of the last year, we should be inclined to suspend our judgment a little longer. It was thus that the subject was treated by the most adroit supporters of Sir M. Peto's motion, and they were able to make good use of the fact that the vote was postponed last year till further experiments should be tried in gunnery and iron plating. Since that time two remarkable but con flicting piece of evidence have been furnished by the American War. Several Federal ironclads suc ceeded in running past the batteries on the Mis sissippi, while a well-equipped fleet of the same class was discomfited in half an hour by the forts of Charleston. It is said, on the one side, that the former were favoured by darkness, and, on the other, that the latter were confronted by obstacles peculiar to Charleston harbour. For our own part, we are quite content to set the one precedent against the other, or rather to abstain from generalising at all from a single case, even if it were not weakened by a contrary instance. Unless common sense and well-ascertained facts can guide us in this matter, it is better to remain where we are and wait for more complete information. If, on the other hand, as e have already quite sufficient materials for our deci sion, it would be folly to stop halfway in the execu tion of a great projtxt. The first thing is to re member that we are not discussing whether forts can take the place of ships, but whether ships can take the place of forts, so as to make the construction of forts, at the mouth of an important roadstead and in front of our greatest naval arsenal, superfluous and useless. The mere statement of the question is enough to sett le it. Forts cannot do the work of ahips,because they ere available only for defensive, and not for offensive purposes; because they cannot bring an unwilling adversary to close quarters ; because they are incapable of being used as rams—in short, be cause they are immovable. For equally cogent and still more obvious reasons, ships cannot do the work of forts. They cannot, even with the aid of steam, operate independently of wind and weather ; they cannot be mounted with guns of indefinite weight and calibre; they cannot be coated with armour of indefinite thickness ; they cannot defy the corrosive agency of sea water ; they cannot be repaired without being sent into dock. It would be easy to extend the list of these disabilities if our ob ject were to dare age the reputation of ships instead of defending that of forts. Far be it from us to pre dict what may be the ultimate form which the in genuity of man may devise for these floating for tresses, but as we follow with our mind's eye the progressive rivalry between ordnance and naval architecture till we lose sight of it in a dim vision of Titanic encounters on the ocean,the powers of destruc tion always seem to have the best of it. We cannot help believing that explosive forces mighty enough to stave in the side of anything that can navigate the sea will be discovered, if they are not already in existence ; but it does not follow that such engines can be carried on shipboard. On the contrary, the presumption is that the ship of the future will be impregnable to the assaults of any similar antagonist and will be vulnerable only by guns planted upon the solid earth. After all, we need not earry our calculations quite so far as this. The sum voted for these works, considerable in itself, is absolutely trifl ing compared with that which would be required to provide an equal armament if the alternative of ships were adopted. Ships must be built of perishable ma terials, their screws will always be tearing the stern to pieces, their armour-plates will always be w orking loose in spite of fastenings, their bottoms will neveraf cease to corrode, their crews must be comPose n a , skilled men and kept in a state of constant einuoire cy se a and as soon as they prove inferior in speed going qualities to some new model they mustt be cast fore them ever, aside.

If the inhabitants of the Northern Border States viewed the advance of the Confederate army with the same feelings that the Southern population regarded the invasion of M'Clellan, Pope, and Hooker, it is needless to say that the Confederate army would experience no less difficulty in approaching Wash ington than the grand army of the North did in attempting to enter Richmond.

The Directors of this Company have secured, by agreement, the grant of the Alathilde Alines, 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 Seesen, 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 Mansfcld 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.

Admission, ls. 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 for 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 can be transported to the mines by means of the railway which passes directly through the property. The Royalty payable to the 101,,cal 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 Mansfield. The value of this property and the regularity of the pro duce of the cupreous beds may be best estimated by reference to the following statistics of the Mansfeld Mines, the weekly yield of which at present is upwards of £8,003 worth of sil ver, and £16,000 worth of copper.

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 it arz Mountains. The peculiar value of this property is the existence of a bed of bituminous shale of the came character as the cele brated Mansfeld Mines. The shale is here eight inches think, 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 which average in Mansfeld 14 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., wilt not exceed 100 feet. while the depth of the Mansfeld Mine is 303 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 116,000 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 Alines 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 carefully ascertained from Mr. Asses sor Hausmann, of Brunswick, the head Government engi neer, and carefully checked by persona l o b serv ations and in quiries at M ans f eld, wages b e i ng h ere on e-third less than in England. I have, therefore, no hesitation in recommending you at once to complete the purchase of this most valuable property, r• a ‘irlivalue of which contains o 54,140,0t0 feet, over 4,000,000 tons of ore ; 1,200 acres elves , or w e h r i2l, co r ( i ) t oo 14 cent per an fo d ot ;tll w o ill n y y le o l n d e a . big ar value of will yield £2,500,000 profit, without includ e me of the silver ABSTRACT * GOVR, RN -F REPORT OF ASSESSOR HAUSMANN, Wie K .

The firing for the last stage of the Queen's Prize yesterday, although the most valuable and honour able prize which t h e competitors can obtain, fail e d umber of visitors, and the Com to draw any large n mon presented a striking contrast with its b us y aspect of the previo us day. At a few of the fi r i ng points wh ere the competitors were firing through 0 the second stages of 800,90 , and 1,000 yard s ,th ere w ere knots of spectators asse mbled—attracted an d held to the spot by professional interest rather than by curiosity in the proceedings - At the longer range of 1 , 000 yards the ad miring spectator could mound of earth, see in the far distance a da rk and by close scrutiny he might also observe a white spepelk: whichwhic fm which is o t r iie s the target centre. and a still smaller black speck, are The volnn wholly tears who are engaged in the firing ab sorbed in their work ; they are seriously, oppres sively in earnest, and their earnestness each volunteerstness extends to those who are standing by. earth ascends the small rampart of ear from which he is to fire he does so with e ll the solemnity of being one of a firing party at a f u neral or an execu tion. Every eye is directed to him as he falls slowly and cautiously on one k ne e, as though care fully avoiding in every motion anything calculated to disturb the nerves or even to quicken the pulse tion. He then slowly sesames the well-known Hythe position, kneeling on the right knee, and seated on the heel of the right foot, the elbow on the left k nee suppor ti ng t h e r ifle. In this position he carefully surveys the di s tant target, to bo sure that he has the ri g ht one b e f ore him ; f ro m that he gives a glance t o hi s t rusty r ifl e ; a gain his eye wanders to the dist an t t arget , scann ing m ore closely the darkened mass b e f ore hi m, un til his eye rests on the to send his small white speck t o w hi c h he ho pes leaden messen ger ; aga i n there i s a look to the rifle, and, one might a l most fancy, a prayer to the god of rifles that his tru s t y weapon w ill send the bullet - home to the c ove t e d mark. C rou ching beneath the shade of the temp orary canvas a wning, the volun teer slowly raises his rifle to his shoulder, the sun light gleams along a portion of its well-polished barrel, and a cl ose l y - o b servant s pectator can notice how the flickeri ng li g h t dazzles th e eye of the rifle;of the mark ice man, Again and aga i n ho tr i es to adjust , sometimes there i s a nervous unc onscious twitching of the hand that grasps securely the lower portion of the barrel ; somet i mes the weapon vibrates as though the hand that held it were stricken with palsy ; in other hands it is rigid and motionless as it is steadfastly directed towards its aim; men and women standing around speak only in whispers, for they fear to distraot the attention of the rifleman from his target, and at last, in the midst of a silence broken only by the crack of the rifle at the next range, or the whizzing noise of the bullet from a neighbouring firing point as it speeds on its way, the trigger falls, there is a flash of fire, a sharp report, a puff of white smoke, the rifle starts backward at the stock, and upward at the muzzle/ and all is anxious, earnest expectation. Looking through one of the many excellent telescopes which the enterprise of competing opticians have placed upon the ground, the result of the shot may be seen by the signal of the markers. If a bull's-eye or centre is made there is no great cheering, and no outward display of enthusiasm, for with due con sideration for the great prize at stake it is thought that any such display would but disconcert the com petitors. When, however, the last shot is fired, the pent-up feelings find expression in one general shout of applause. The winner of the Queen's Prize this year is Private Roberts, of the 12th Shropshire. His name does not appear in the list of the first 30 for the Queen's Prize, and he made but 40 points in firing through the three first ranges —standing last but three in order of merit in the GO. The winner is a working man, and it is certain that he had never before shot with a smallbore rifle. Last year the prize was won by Sergeant Pixley, of the Victoria's, with the moderate score of 44, while this year the score made was 05. The maximum this year that could be made, as in the last year, WPS 84. Pixley made little more than one-half of the highest pos sible number ; while this year Roberts makes more than three-fourths of the highest possible score. Pixley scored two points over the moiety of the total number possible; Roberts has also scored two points over the three fourths of the whole number that could be obtained by making bull's-eyes at eac h of the seven shots in the three ranges. The c ontest between Roberts and Graham —the next best shot, was a very close one. At the sixth .round o f the 1,000 yards range, Graham had scored 61, with one e his score shot yet to fire. Had he made a buirevei would have been 65, or equal to that of Roberts ; but, according to the rules of the association, there would have been no tie, and Graham would according to the rules of the association have been declared the winner, as he was better placed at the first stage. He made a very capital centre for his last shot, making his total number 64. Private Wisker, who carried off the silver medal, and came in at the head of the 60, -.vas completely displaced it the longer ranges, being among the very lowest of the scores, and Sergeant Millard, who was second at the close of the first ett.ge, fared very little better I ban Wi..,ker. As compared with the shooting last year a very marked improvement is manifest. Pix ley, the winner of 1862, made 18 points at the 800, 11 at 900, and 15 at the 1,000 garde. Among the best shots of that year, who were greatly distanced on this occasion, were—Simpkins, Ist Notts, 42 ; Fergusson, Ist Inverness, 42; Williams, 19th Mid dlesex, 41; Crawford, 13th Suffolk, 41 ; Gee, 55th Lancashire, 41 ; and Anderson, 22d Middlesex, 40. The remaining scores were one each at 39, 36, 35, 34, 32, 30, 29, and 28. There were three at 27, two at 26, one at 23, one at 21, four at 20, and one at 19. The average of the shooting at the 800 yards by 46 competitors was 1230 points ; at 900, by 37 competitors, nine having retired, 9.56; and at the 1,000 yards by 27 competitors, 10 more having retired, the average was 6.29. The average through the three distances was 3074. The following scores of yesterday's shooting will enable the reader to trace the improvement made during the last twelve months among the volunteers, so far as it has been tested by this competition for the Queen's Prize :-- SECOND STAGE.—QUEEN'S PRIZE. 800 900 1,000 yds. yds. yds.

We have no further accident to record, and the disc marking, which was adopted for the final stages of the Queen's Prize, propertyvy satisfactorily. The council had very pp laid down a rule that competitors firing at the wrong target should be disqualified. O ne of the law makers h as in this respect been a law breaker, and Lord Elcho, much to the surpris e of some, and the amusement of other s , when firing at pool, at 200 yards, hit the wrong target, and was of course disqualified f rom further shooting. The marvel is, considerin g how clos e ly t h e targets ar e p laced to each o ther, that mistakes of this sort are not more f re errors of this Had and the fact that Lord Elcho ha d quelitlY Made wrong target is evidence selected the shots at Wimbledon.
