~,, I VI, ••••••••----- .......,......, AMERICA. (Per City of Baltimore.) NEW YORK, March 21. The of eamship Norwegian arrived at Portland March `2O. The following is the situation, from the New York Herald of March 21 : Nothing of importance occurred in the army of tl - e Rappahannock yesterday. A heavy snow storm wafa falling during the day and previous night, and the weather was very cold. By an arrival from Hilton Head we have an ac count of the exploits of the Black Brigade in Florida, by which they have obtained posseesion of many important points and a large quantity of munitions and supplies. Large reinforements, supposed to be Burnside's Army Corps, were expected at Hilto❑ Head. Rumours were circulated in the city yesterday thAt some of our gunboats had passed Fort Sumter on Monday and Tuesday, and that Charleston was b ins b3mbarded. We need hardly say that this report is without confirmation, as we have had despatches from Charleston dated Monday, saying that ali was quiet in that vicinity ; nor do our re ports from Hilton Head of the same date make any mention of a fight going on near Charleston. We have some very interesting news from the Sonth.west to-day. The Union forces made a bril liant dash into Northern Alabama, in company with a number of gunboats, reaching as far as Tuscum bia, on the 22d ult. The a dvance drove the rebel cavalry from the town into the mountains, and occupied the place. Advancing farther into the interior cur troops, who were commanded by Col. Corwin, carried away considerable plunder. This account of the raid comes from a rebel source—the Con federacy, published in Atlanta, Ga. The only news from Vicksburg is to the effect that the cut-off is likely to prove a success,and that our troops are improving in health. The move ments of transports and gunboats up the Yazoo P 389 continue very active. Large bodies of rebel troops are said to be concen trating at Knoxville, and that a number of them, amounting to 400, crossed the Cumberland a Ro Nena, Ky., on Wednesday which were supposed to be the advance guard of a large army en route for the invasion of Kentucky, which has been antici pated for some time. A despatch from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, dated yesterday, says that Cot. Hall's brigade of General Reynolds's division was attacked near Miltom by a large force of rebel cavalry. Col. Hall sent word he could hold his own until reinforcements should arrive. Colonel Wilder went to his aid with a mounted infantry force. At last reports quite a heavy e ngagement was going on. The enemy, under Van Dorn, are evidently de tea mined to harass our troops in the vicinity of Franklin, Tennessee. A large force of their cavalry recrossed Thick river and advanced towards that place on Thursday, but were driven back by Col. Walker's cavalry brigade. The bridge at Columbia has been rebuilt, and General Van Dorn is said to have been largely reinforced. Cavalry skirmishes uccur constantly. The extracts which we give to-day from the Southern journals are unusually interesting. They comprise an official report of the recent raid of rebel cavalry near Fairfax Court House and the capture of Colonel Stoughton, and General Stuart's com mendation of the officers in command. The defences of Charleston are described by the Mobile Register as absolutely impregnable. It says that no floating thing can breast unharmed the batteries of Sumter, Moultrie, and Battery Bee; that the attack will be a fearful shock of tremendous forces, and will test the quality of ships and iron-clads against powerful batteries more conclusively than has ever been done before. The fight with the Chillicothe, on the Tal lahatchie, opposite Fort Pemberton, is minutely de scribed by the Richmond Enquit er. With regard to the late attack on Port Hudson and the firing at St. Helena on the 13th inst., the Jackson Mississippian of that date confirms the theory suggested by us yesterday, by stating that General Banks' movements against Port Hudson had commenced ; that General Weitzel was sup posed to be about making a diversion in the rear of his position, and that the attack would probably be made by our combined land and naval forces.] The _Richmond Examiner of the 19th has an ar ticle which is evidently intended to prepare the public mind of the south for serious reverses to the Confederate arms on the line of the Rappahannock. It says that the active operations of the army under Hooker are now commenced, and either a decisive battle or the retreat of General Lee must be the speedy consequence. The latter contingency is pos sible, but not probable, and another heavy struggle over the line of the Rappahannock may be sately anticipated. It continues to state that if General Lee's force is not sufficiently numerous to prevent the completion of Hooker's manoeuvre, it is supposed that no course remains but to fall back upon some point nearer Richmond, and give the enemy battle at a greater distance from his base. The following news is from the Southern jour nals : (From the Richmond Enquirer, March 18.) A considerable force of the enemy, consisting of cavalry and artillery, made a demonstration yester day on the ford over the Rappahannock near the south..of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. The movement was anticipated, and General Stuart ad vanced sufficient force to hold him in check, at least until a proper time far more cheerful greeting. Fighting was in progress yesterday, and it was reported from Gordonsville that the enemy had suc ceeded in crossing. The result of the engagement aid not appear. The Yankees have crossed the Upper Rappa hannock in strong force, with cavalry and artillery, advancing towards Gordonsville on a raid. (From the Richmond Enquirer.) MOBILE, March 16, 1863. A special despatch to the Appeal, dated Panola, Miss., March 14, says a gentleman direct from Coldwater, states that two formidable gunboats, the Chillioothee and De Kalb, two rams, with cotton defences, three gunboats, not deemed formidable, three batteries, 300 cavalry, and 10,000 men, com prise the Yankee force in the Yazoo. Some boats not loaded accompany the expedition, it is thought for the purpose of stealing cotton. They left Helena with one day's rations of meat, plenty of bread and other supplies. They rely on the resources of the country for meat, which they are stealing. gentleman The Appeal says a g w ho witnessed the fight at Fort Pemberton st ate s i that our troops waded to their waists to get a chance at the enehaY - The Yankee fleet consists of six gunboats and rams with an infantry force of from 5,000 to 8,000. Tae enemy's movements indicated alanding higher u p the river, on the opposite bank. Our we re preparing to frustrate the enemy at all points. (From the Jackson Mississappian.) Thera can no longer be any doubt that the move ments of the Federal commander in Louisiana a gainst Port Hudson have commenced. Gentlemen who left New Orleans on Friday, March 13, inform us that the last steamer from N o w York brought out orders to General BAnks to make the movement without delay, and active operations were at once commenced. General Weitzel bas been reinforced until his command numbers from 8,000 to 10,000 men, and from the position he occupied it is supposed he will attempt to make a diversion in the rear of his position. The main force under General Banks is moving by river, on transports, and numbers from 17,000 to 20,000. The gentlemen who gave us this information re , and the movement as having commenced in earnest, and" make up their opinions from personal obser. vat ion. The attack will probably be made by the com bined land and naval forces of the enemy. Farra gut refused to attack the batteries with his fleet unless supported by a land force, declaring it would be a useless sacrifice to do so. The transport fleet, therefore, accompanied his fleet of war and mortar vessels. The Missi;,„„, Ppson contains the late st Confederate intelligence from New Orleans, furnished by a gen tieta in who came direct from that city. He stye the Federal vessel Brooklyn oame up to the city badly riddled. It is supposed the damage was inflicted by Confederate war vessels. Ten of the pilots in the Federal blockading squall.= were confined in the Custom •house for alleged treachery in permitting two Confederate steamers to pass the blockade and procure coal from two z, hooners in side the Yankee lames. (prom the Charleston Correspondence of the Mobile Register.) The struggle, when it comes, will certainly be of a fearful character. It will be the shock of tremen dous forces, the relative powers of which are yet untried. The long-mooted question of the fighting value of ships against batteries will be brought to a test more conclusive than any to which human war fare has yet subjected it. In other words, the Mo nitor iron-clads, which the Yankees claim to be the most impenetrable vessels ever constructed, will necessarily come within point-blank range of the most numerous and powerful batteries that have ever yet been used in a single engagement. We have good reason, too, to believe that our guns will ba managed with admirable tact and precision. The more important batteries are manned by the South Carolina regulars, for whom the credit is claimed, and I think justly, of being the most expert and practical heavy artillerists in the Confederate army. The forts are well officered, and General Ripley, who has made the study of heavy ordnance a speciality for years, and whose excellence in that particular branch of military knowledge is an admitted fact, will himself take command of Fort Sumter as soon as the enemy makes his appearance. It is scarcely possible that any floating thing can breast unharmed the concentrated storm of heavy mefal from the guns of Sumter, Moultrie, and Bat tery Bee, the three principal works commanding the throat of the harbour. Nor can the peril of running this terrible gauntlet be diminished by an attempt to pass under cover of the darkness, as has been the case at Vicksburg and New Orleans. So tortuous and intricate is the channel leading to the forts that the most experienced pilots of the harbour would not venture to bring in a vessel by night, under the conditions which the enemy canno escape, viz., without light or landmark to guide the way. Even when the blockade running vessels leave the harbour, it is always necessary to aid their exit by previously arranged lights (shaded) and signals; so that it is reasonably certain that the attacking iron-clads must either enter in open day, or incur the imminent Lazard of getting aground upon one of the most treacherous bars on the Southern coast, which seldom yields a vessel when once it has grasped the keel. Bat if, perchance, despite of mazy channel, multiplied torpedoes, and the combined batteries of the forts, some of the nine Monitors should chance to get into port, they would still have to encounter a concentrated fire of other batteries, which, as the Yankee papers have learned from contrabands, "line the shores of the interior of the harbour." And then will come the " tug of war," which will determine the possession of the honoured old city. (From the Richmond Enquirer, March 18.) A gentleman in Richmond received lately the subjoined letter from Captain John S. Mosby, and having shown it to us, we take the liberty of making the gallant captain tell the story of his brilliant act_ The letter was entirely private, and is published by us without the knowledge or consent of either party : My dear Sir,—You have already seen something in the newspapers of my recent raid on the Yankees, though I see they all call me Mosley instead of Mosby. I had only 29 men under my command. I penetrated about ten miles in their lines, rode right up to the general's headquarters, surrounded by in fantry, artillery, and cavalry, and took him out of bed and brought him. I walked into his room with two of my men, and shaking him in bed, said, " General, get up." He rose up, rubbing his eyes, and asked what was t h e meaning of all this. I re plied, " It means, sir, that Stuart's cavalry are in possession of this place, and you are a prisoner." We also surrounded the headquarters of Col. Wyndham, acting brigadier of cavalry, but unfortunately he had gone down to Washington. We got his assistant adjutant-general, and also his aide, an Austrian, Baron Wordener. There was an immense amount of all kinds of stores collected there, but I was unable to destroy them, as they were in houses, without de stroying the town. The horses we brought off were mostly very fine, belonging to officers. If I had had enough men I could have brought off hundreds. It was my purpose to have reached the Court-house by 12 o'clock at night, but it being very dark and raining we got lost and were delayed two hours, so that we did not have over an hour to I stay in town, it being necessary for us to pass out of their lines before daylight. In coming out we passed within two hundred yards ot the for tifications at Centreville, and were hailed by a sen tinel from one of the redoubts. A Captain Barker, from New York, here made a desperate attempt to get away. He dashed out of the ranks and tried hard to reach the fort, but a shot from one of my men convinced him that it was a dangerous undertaking and he came back. At Centreville there was a force of about two thousand, consisting of infantry, artil lery, and cavalry. In the vicinity of the Court-house one cavalry and one infantry brigade were camped. There were about two hundred just in the town. We easily captured the few guards around the town, as they never dreamed we were anybody else but Yankees until they saw a pistol pointed at their heads, with a demand for a surrender. Yours truly, JOHN S. MOSBY. The following is General Stuart's order : GENERAL ORDERS NO. —. Head- quarters, Cavalry Division, Army of Northern Virginia, March 12, 1863. Captain John S. Mosby has for a long time at tracted the attention of his generals by his boldness, skill, and success so signally displayed in his nume rous forays upon the invaders ot his native State. None know his daring enterprise and dashing heroism better than those foul invaders, though strangers themselves to such noble traits. His late brilliant exploit—the capture of Briga dier General Stoughton, United States army, two captains, 30 other prisoners, together with their arms, equipments, and 58 horses—justifies this recognition in general orders. This feat, unparalleled in the war, was performed in the midst of the enemy's troops, at Fairfax Court House, without loss or injury. The gallant band of Capt. Mosby share the glory, as they did the danger, of this enterprise, and are worthy of such a leader. J. E. B. STUART, Major-General Commanding. The Charleston (S. C.) correspondent of the Rich- nzond Enquirer says the captured gunboat Isaac P. Smith, now called the Steno, has been repaired and is now in gold fighting trim. She will be the flag ship of Commodore Ingraham. The Yorkville (S. C.) Enquirer says that Lieut. G. Premble, one of the captured officers of the Isaac P. Smith, off Stone, and who has been confined with his Yankee confreres in the gaol at Columbia, has renounc e d . the old Union and t aken the oath of elle etnee to his p ro p er mo ther—the So uthern Confe deracy—aride occasion , is a na discharged . varl. varied phrasesQ ui t e a e w s r c e e e n x e c occurred on the , we learn —r a th er more of the marine than th e moral school. Gen. Beauregard has presented the sword of the commander of the Yankee gunboat recently cap f,ured in Stono river to Lieut. J. A. Yates, in compliment to the skill and success with which the latter officer conducted the expedition which effected the capture. (from the _Richmond Enquirer, March 18.) The municipal election took place to-day in Frede ricksburg, though under the guns of Gen. Hooker. Mr. Slaughter was chosen mayor. Th.ieonscript officers have been quite busy for a few days hereabouts, hauling in the nice young men. - - —•- The premium for gold at Richmond on the 17th was 4 doll 25c ; the brok,?rs were paying 4 dole.

The rebel Senate has resolved that the President shall issue a proclamation dissuading the further cultivation of cotton and tobacco, and enjoining the planting of grain. Governor Brown, of Georgia, threatens to do the same. Governor Leteher has issued a proclamation in voking the people of Virginia to pay attention to the act of the Legislature restricting the cultivation of tobacco, and requiring the cultivation of grain in its stead. A bill to organise a volunteer navy has been in troduced into the rebel Senate. The rebel papers speak of Gen. Hooker's army as having been sent to Port Royal. Mobile papers say ample preparations are making to give our troops a warm reception on the Talla hatchie. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. NEW YORK, MARCH 20, EVENING. The sub-treasurer commenced to-day to receive deposits of money on call, after 10 days' notice, at 5 per cent, and something like 1,500,000 dols. in all was deposited. The amount of money now held by the Government at the various sub-treasuries, at 4 and 5 per cent per annum, on call after 10 days, is about 70,000,000 dols. The law limits the amount of such deposits to 100,000,000 dollars ; and it is pretty clear that in the course of the next 30 to 40 days this limit can be reached. In this way the Government can obtain 30,000,000 dols. on most advantageous terms, and without creating any dis turbance in the money-market, as the money will flow in gradually, and be distributed as rapidly as it is paid in. Until the limit of deposits has been reached, it is safe to conclude that the secretary will not attempt to negotiate a loan. Money was lent to-day on call at 5 per cent., and at 6 every one had money to lend. Mercantile paper is worth 5 to 6 per cent. Debt certificates, old issue, are steady ; the new issue are 8 better. Gold fluctuated between 154 and 155 to-day, closing at 154! bid. The short interest in gold is so large that each decline is rapidly checked by the purchases of the bears. Exchange active at 171. culative peasant who had sold four of his country men-for six Polish florins to be strung up to the ❑earest tree. In the meantime Gen. Langiewicz's surgeon had dressed the wounda of Mr. Finkenstein and of the Pole who still survived. The Dictator then had Mr. Finkenstein put into a cart, and sent him to Cracow, attended by his own surgeon, whom he re quested not to leave the patient until he was well, and who still visits him daily. He also wrote, and confided to the surgeon, a statement to the effect that he had found a person, supposed to be an En glishman, wounded and on the point of death, under such and such circumstances. While I was with Mr. Finkenstein, Langiewicz's surgeon came in. lie had, of course, seen nothing of the general since the 15th, the day on which the prisoners were massacred. This was two days before the battle of Z iposcie (near Chrobeiz), three days before the battle of Grochowiz (near Busk), and from four to five days before the disappearance of the Dictator from the camp, which, it may be re membered, took place early on the morning of the 21st, after the midnight council of war. But he tok, me in what state he had met with Mr. Finken stein, and that he had found three of the Poles dead and the fourth all but lifeless. This afternooe, being at the Hotel do Saxe, I went into the spacious, well-appointed, and alto gether admirably-managed hospital which has been formed there by private subscription, and one of the first patients pointed out to me was the Polish gentleman who had been knocked down and bayoneted, but not quite killed, though the soldiers had left him for dead. The surgeon who directs the hospital had been attached to Rochebrune's corps of Z nerves, and was present at the battles of the 17th (Zaposcie) and 18th (Busk). As he brought his wounded away with him from Busk (or Gro chowica), after attending them on the field of battle when the Russians had retired to Pinezow, he is naturally of opinion that Busk was a decided vic tory for the Poles. As for Zaposcie, if that had been won, Bask (or Grochowica), being further from the Galician frontier, would never have been fought, and the insurgents, who, as it was, were compelled by hunger and want of amunition to enter Cracow and Tarnow on the morning of the 22d, would have been driven to do so five days earlier by force of arms. But to keep to the principal subject of this let ter. The surgeon of the Zauaves, then, was surprised to hear that Mr. Finkenstein was alive. He had helped to place him in the cart which conveyed him to Cracow, and considered at the time that he was far too badly wounded ever to recover. We have lost sight of the lady who accompanied Mr. Finkenstein on his fatal journey to Miechow. She was, in fact, separated from him in the camp, and it afterwards appeared that she also had been wounded, robbed, and partly stripped. She is now in Cracow, and has so far recovered that she is able to walk about. Now, who does the reader suppose these soldiers were that deliberat e ly b ayonete d d e fenceless men and women ? Mongols, T ar tars, Asiatics of some kind, no doubt. N ot hi ng o f t h e ki n d. They were Germans, probably from Courland; but, at least, they spoke the German language, and it was in that tongue that they expressed their astonishment at their English victim not being dead, proposed to cut his finger off for the sake of his ring, and re commended the process (so readily adopted) of breaking his head with the butt-ends of their mus kets, as one likely to finish him. It is not, then, because there is something essentially barbarous in the Russian blood, but because there is some thing essentially barbarous in the Russian system, that these atrocities are committed by the soldiers in the service of the Russian Government. Formerly the Russian officers, who in some cases (a minority, no doubt) are as good as the officers of any other army, could count on the implicit obedience of their men; but the bonds of discipline have now all been loosened. The soldiers have been warned against their commanders, and have been invited to watch the conduct of subalterns, and report upon it to their superiors. In other words, a real revolution ary feeling has been created in the ranks in order to checkthe supposed revolutionary feeling which may or may not have animated the more educated portion of the officers. The consequence is that the officers now find themselves commanding mere hordes of savages. Some imitate the conduct of the savages ; others do their best to check it ; while some, ordered not to restrain, but to urge on their troops to fresh excesses, have committed suicide, as the unhappy Colonel Korff did a few weeks since, and as several Russian officers have done in the course of the last two years, " We were told that the Russian officers bad turned revol u ti on i sts an d communi s t s ,"said a Polish proprietor to m e th e o ther day. " But it is the sol diers who hav e t urne d c ommunists. They rob and plunder wh erever the y go, and we have often had to thank th e o ffi cers f o r protecting our property against their th oroug hly communistic instincts." It is, in fact, the revolutionists of the Russian army —or, in other words, the men who are heartily sick of the barb arous and demo ralising old system, and do tilt know ho w t o c h an ge it—that have endeavoured to keep or d er i n the r anks. Now that they see what rev o l u ti on rea lly means, they have to °pease it with revolvers. It is only their superior personal courage that saves them from being murdered by the majo r it y , as the e d u cated classes in Russia will infallibl y b e murdered if the long-talked-of peasant insurrection s h ou ld eve r ment of Russia for the believe that General Mr. Finkenstein, of course, intends to call upon take place. his Government to obtain redress from the Govern the medical report of i n juries done to him ; and I have already L an giewicz's statement, and General Langiewicz's own surgeon, been communicated in the proper quarter. Whenever I ask a Pole if he is not astonished and shocked at the conduct of the Russian soldiers in murdering unarmed, perfectly inoffensive men, the answer I usually rec eive is , " Disgusted , yes; but not shocked or aston ished, because we have been used to thi s sort o f thing so long. You never be lieved it i n E ng l an d ; you thought that, as we were the bitter enemies of the Russians, our evidenc3 against them was of no value. Now you, as an Englishman, can judge for yourself, without taking the opinion of any Pole in the matter." Nevertheless, owing to the absence of discipline in the Russian army, more horrible deeds are done now than were ever commited in the war of 1830 tan d '3l, when the soldiers were ruled with a rod of iron by men who, if they were not highly civilized, at least knew the ordinary traditions of European armies, and tolerated no acts of barbarism not ex pressly commanded by themselves. Russia was also rather stronger then than she is now, and much of her present cruelty is the cruelty of impotency. If the Russian troops cannot beat the insurgents in the field (which they have always failed to do when Lhe numbers have been anything like equal), the Go vernment would ,ike them at least to make their presence felt in every district they enter ; and, ac cordingly their passage is marked wherever they go by robbery, murder, and incendiarism. News arrives here every day of victories gained by the insurgents over the Russians. Whether they are sometimes defeated and the news not published I cannot say ; but that the insurrection is maintained in all parts of Russian Puland is quite certain. Cieszkowski is in great force in the " Palatinate" or "government" of Cracow, in the kingdom of Poland ; Padlewski is in Plock ; Czachowski com mands the insurgents in sandomir ; Lewandowski and Lelewel share the direction of a numerous band in Lublin. It was in Lublin, too, that Mielencki gained two brilliant victories on the 22d and 23d, when the Russians are said to have lost altogether about 400 men. This is thought not to compensate for the fact that Mielencki himself, one of the best of the insurgent chiefs, was dangerously wounded in the action of the second day. In the Lithuanian provinces the most important leaders are Rokiuski, who has lately moved towards Podolia; Count 'l'yczkiewicz, and the brothers Rykoff, two Russian gentlemen, formerly in the Imperial army. By the last accounts the Rykoffs were fighting hard in the province of Samagitia. That several Russian officers have joined the insur gents is a fact beyond doubt. In this we have a striking proof that the sentiments expressed in the celebrated letter addressed by the Russian officers at Warsaw to the Grand Duke Constantine were perfectly genuine. No one said, or thought, that it was very numerously signed, or that it represented the feeling of more than about 100 men. Ido not say that 100 Russian officers have joined the in surgents ; but if a list were to be drawn up of those who have openly taken part with the Poles, and those who have attacked their own men to keep them from plunder, and worse than plunder, then the list would already be rather a long one. Even the essentially military virtue of courage seems now to have departed from the Russian army, and it ,is certainly gratifying to find that, even from a military point of view, the soldier cannot commit crime with impunity. The Russian soldier is not fighting now for his " father" the Czar, or fur his " mother," Moscow, or for Holy Russia, or any thing of that kind. If St. Nicholas be the patron of thieves, then he is fighting in the name of St. Nicholas. He is quite ready to murder a Pole for the sake of robbing him ; and if he does go into battle, it is either because he is driven for ward by his officers, or simply with a view to plunder. But when he has killed his Pole he wishes to pluck him, and thus there have been numerous instances of Russian soldiers creeping out of action, not so much from fear as a desire to rob the dean as soon as possible. I hear, however, from more than one good source, that o❑ the 23d, at the battle of Schlesen, where Melenchi fell, the charge was actually sounded ten times before the Russian in fantry could he got to march to the attack, and that the officers menaced them, shook them, beat them, kicked them, entreated them, and ultimately dragged them like sheep to the slaughter, for the Poles; shot 238 of these panic-stricken thieves, while their own losses in killed and wounded amounted only to 50. MARCH 29. You have doubtless heard that when Archbishop Felinski, of Warsaw, resigned his place in the Council of State his resignation was not accepted, and that thereupon he addressed a letter to the Emperor, giving his reasons for declining to take any further part in the administration of affairs in the Kingdom of Poland. I am told that a more or less exact account of the con tents of this letter has already been published in a French newspaper; and a few remarks as to its general purport appeared two days ago in the Czas, the principal journal of Cracow, and in deed of all Poland. To-day the Czas contains a verbatim extract from the Archbishop's epistle in which he does not confine himself to his own perso nal reasons for quitting the now non-existent (or at least non-apparent) Council of State, but—justify ing the course he takes by the present deplorable state of Poland—adjures the Emperor to adopt the only means possible for restoring and permanently establishing peace to his unhappy country. The important part of the letter is as follows: " In presence of the blood which we now see flowing in great streams, at a moment so solemn for our native land, I, as the first spiritual shepherd of the kingdom, feel it my duty to approach your Majesty, in order to point out what appear to me to be the sole means of arresting the calami ties which afflict the country. Administrative reforn a, however sincerely undertaken, cannot satisfy our nation. Poland demands an independent political life. The most terrible repression will not be axle to quench the spirit which animated all classes, and which every flay divides more and more the nation from the Crown. Your Majesty may be lieve it as a fact, that nothing but the restoration of p. liti cal independence to Poland, united only by dynastic ties to Russia, wil' be able to avert the sad probability of your reigning, not over a flour ishin g country, but over the em bers and ruins of our villages and t wns. May your Maj.-s -ty not delay the solution of this question until the insur rection be suppressed I Your Majesty it , powerful, and mag nanimity would not be mistaken for weakness." Some of the Arcn bishop's friends ex press surprise at the publication of this letter (or rat' er a portion of it), inasmuch as it was evidently written for the Emperor alone, though naturally more than OM person was con,ulted confidentially before it was sent off. It is worth observing that the Archbishop of Warsaw off:rs, and presses upon the Rnperor, thi same solution of the Polish cl , ffieulty that was about to be presented to him last au , umn (in corn pliance with the Grand Duke Constantine's re quest) by Count Andrew Zamoyski, in the name of the Polish nobility, when the Count was suddenly arrested, conveyed to St. Petersburg, and ordered into exile. It ought also to be remembered that since 1814 this is the only solution which the Pces have declared themselves willing to abide by; that it was proposed to the Emperor Alexander, both before and after the signing of the Treaty of Vienna, by Kosciusko; and, above all, that the Emperor Alexander professed to have accepted it, and assured Kosciusko, Prince Adam Czartoriski, and several officers of the Polish army now living, that he would make it his first object to carry it out. The Archbishop, then, not only expresses the settled desire of all Russian Poland, but at the same time takes his stand on an historical basis and on the true meaning of the Treaty of Vienna, which empowered the Emperor Alexander to include all the Polish provinces in his constitutional Kingdom of Poland, and bound him (though the obligation was afterwards set at naught) to grant the inhabi tants " national representation and national insti tutions." I do not think any of the Poles imagine that the recommendation of Archbishop Felinski will be acted upon. Russia will not make the required terms with the Poles while they are in arms, and if they are utterly defeated she will not see any reason for making terms at all. " Magnanimity," as the Archbishop says, " would not be mistaken for weakness." But the magnanimity must exist before it can be exercised, and at present it forms part of the pride of Russia to keep a special mark of con quest en the Poles of Lithuania, Volhynia, Podolia, and the Ukraine, to suppress their national ehurch, schools, and newspaper press, and to force upon them, in the law courts and public offices, a lan guage which is not their own and which they abhor. TEE POLISH INSURRECTION, (From the Time Special Correspondent.) CRACOW, March 28. The telegraph informed you nearly a fortnight ago that an Englishman named Finkenstein, in crossing the frontier between Cracow and Miechow, had been attacked and badly wounded by Cossacks. The Cossacks have plently to answer for, but they are not worse than any other troops in the Russian service. In their own country they enjoy a greater reputation as thieves than as assassins, and they had nothing whatever to do with the murderous assault made upon Mr. Finkenstein. I called upon this gentleman a few days ago to inquire after his health, and certainly not to trouble him about his adventures. But he was sufficiently recover ed to be able to tell me the whole story of his mishaps, and the details are sufficiently interesting and suffi ciently important to justify me in communicating them to you at length. On Saturday, the 14th of March, Mr. Finkenstein left Cracow in a " troika" or carriage, drawn by three horses. A lady accompanied him. He was the bearer of a Foreign-office passport which had been vise by the Russian Minister at Berlin ; and he took nothing with him in the carriage but ordinary luggage. His passport was copied into the ordinary register at the Austrian frontier, and duly stamped. It was again examined and signed by the officer on duty at the Russian frontier. The carriage, coo, was searched, when neither arms, nor ammunition, nor provisions, nor any article of a suspicious nature could be found. Mr. Finkenstein had not driven far when he was stopped by a picket of Russian infantry. He exhibited his passport, and requested permission to proceed, bat was told that he must be taken to the officer commanding the battalion, who was stationed at the camp before Miechow. The major received the English traveller very politely, offered him cigars and other refreshment, assured him that he was in perfect safety, but at the same time expressed his regret that he could not let him continue his journey until he had commu nicated with the General of the district. At night Mr. Finkenstein retired to his travelling carriage to sleep, and four sentinels were placed around him "to prevent the other soldiers from insulting him," asrthe officer said. _ _ On Sunday morning the battalion left the camp, and, after marching some distance in search of in surgents, halted. The Major again placed sentinels round Mr. Finkenetein's carriage, and, not content with this, told a junker (i. e., cadet performing pre liminary service in the ranks) to stand by, and, ;f any one attempted to molest him, shoot the offen der on the spot. 1 In the meanwhile, the soldiers having met with no insurgents, and being in a part of the country where there were apparently no gentlemen's houses to plunder, began to grow impatient. At a little village, so poor that the peasants were not worth robbing, they met with an unhappy wretch, who for six Polish florins (about 35.) agreed to take them to a place where they would find some Poles. They were in fact led to a house where four Polish gentlemen were quietly taking breakfast. The soldiers seized them, dragged them close to the car riage in which Mr. Finkenstein was sitting, and were about to murder them when two officers came up with revolvers in their hands, and by force of threats succeeded in releasing the prisoners. The savages, however, were not to be cheated of the prey for which they had paid six Polish florins. Some little time afterwards, the officers having left the prisoners in charge of the junker, a sudden rush was made at the four Polish gentlemen, The junker attempted to stop it, but was thrust violently on one side, and the peaceable, unarmed, unresisting Poles were hurled to the ground, and pierced through and through with bayonets. Three were slaughtered then and there. The other was left for dead. All four were stripped to the skin. " Why not kill the Englishman ?" some one now exclaimed, The suggestion was at once approved and acted upon. Mr. Finkenstein was seized by the hair, pulled out of his carriage on to the ground and in a few seconds had received some 20 bayonet wounds. The murderers then tore his clothes off and left him bleeding in the snow with nothing on but his shirt and drawers. They had forgotten, however, to steal his ring, and returned for it. " Don't bother about it ; cut off the finger," said one of the band to another, who was pulling at the ring and seemed to find it rather a tight fit. Fortu nately the ring came off and the finger was allowed to remain. Besides jewelry and clothes, Mr. Fin kenstein was of course robbed of all his papers, including his passport, and Russian tank-notes to the amount of 5,800 roubles. The assassins went away for a time. When they came back they noticed with astonishment, and with something like indignation, that Mr. Finken stein was still alive. " What a tough man that Englishman is !" one them cried out, "confound him, he is not yet dead! We must give it him with the butt-end." They then gave it him with the butt-end; in token of which I can bear witness that Mr. Fin kenstein's head is not merely bruised and scarred, but notched, a l indented,gashed, teetheres t 0 literally laid battered op that nin one place, an d g thought his first wounds ou g ht the barbarians who hardly help sharing the astonishment of one can to have proved mor tal, and who certainly had not the slightest doubt but tha T t h ey se c ond attack did, with the second attack. indeed, re nd ..r him insensi ble.

It was jus tified by its authors only as a m ilitary measure, and even as .t military measure i t is beginning to be con demned by public opinion in the North. Nc sooner was wholesale emancipation proclaimed as a prin ciple than it estranged th e Demncrats, and it has now ceased to rally the Republicans themselves. In place of it has at length been substituted an older, more genuine, and more honest sent iment—a demand for the Union at any price, whatever be the effect ot its restoration on the destinies of the slave. It is thus that we interpret the rapid spread of the Union Leagues," mentioned by our New York correspondent. Whether their aim be to neutralise the influence of the Democrats, or to reunite the fragments of the Republican party, their significance 'is the same. From the new platform the doctrine of Abolition is to be excluded, for the sufficient reason that it has been tried as a political engine and found wanting For the zealots who forced the experiment upon Mr. Lincoln we are willing to make great allowances. They were men of one idea and of no practical experience, who thought they saw an unique opportunity of carrying their favou rite project by a coup de main, and could not refrain from taking advantage of it. The spirit of the Forth was roused in a struggle for what some call national unity and others call empire, and the Abo litionist leaders fancied they could utilise all this 1 patriotic passion for the purposes of a crusade against slavery. From their point of view the horrors of a servile war were as nothing in the scale against the social heresies of slaveowners, and they did not stop to calculate the gain or loss to humanity of a war to be conducted on their system. Bigotry seldom feels scruples or forecasts conse quences, and we are not surprised to hear that the " preachers, lecturers, strong minded women, and Anti-Slavery Societies" are still as frantic as ever in their clamour for negro regiments atd ex peditions designed to excite negro revolts. The responsibility for these acts rests upon the shrewd and cool-headed politicians of Washington who have made themselves the tools of this fanaticism, and these, after censuring General Hunter for prema ture Abolitionism, have at last left him to carry on war in his own way. It is but too probable that the next mail will bring us details of the massacre of Colonel Higginson and his negro followers on the St. Mary's River, in Georgia, and that a long train of sanguinary reprisals will flow from this event. If the policy which has occasioned these atrocities had united the North and strengthened the hands of the Government, there would be some semblance of an excuse for it, but the reverse is notoriously the rect. Just when the Proclamation is beginning to hear its fatal fruits, it is virtually repudiated by the great majority of Northerners,and the Union at any price—an end of which to one in his senses would attempt to compass by internecine warfare-- is finally avowed as the supreme object of the con test. To this change in the httitudtl of the Repub licans, as well as to their success in arming the Pre sident with extraordinary powers over every department of the State, the apparent decrease of activity on the part of the Democrats may probably be attributed. The battle ground of the two parties has been shifted, and the Republicins have gained by borrowing part of their adversaries' programme. At present the real question between them is not as to the rights of the South or the claims of the blacks, but as to the liberties of Northern citizens. In the remarkable protest of the New Jersey Legis lature two paragraphs only have direct reference to the prosecution of the war; a third is directed against the Proclamation, which has few supporters left ; and the remaining five relate to the assumption of arbitrary authority by the President in the loyal States. The keynote of the whole is the mainte nan 211 of the Constitution as it was. No " military necessity" is to be pleaded in excuse of such monstrous proceedings as those of General Schenck at Btltimore. No suspension ot the civil law is to be permitted in any district not in a state ot open insurrection. No arrests without warrant, or infringements of the privileges secured by the Habeas Corpus Act are to take place, except with the express sanction of Congress, and under a pra m cunt regard for " the public safety.' New States are not to be created at will, or the right of seces sion admitted wi , bin an existing State. as happened in the case of Virginia. " Any and every exercise of power" by the Executive or by Congre-s, beyond that delegated to them respectively by the Consti tution, is declared to be illegal. Such is the old Democratic creed as adapted to the present emer gency, and though it contains no condemnation of the war, except so far as it is wagi-d for unconsti tutional or partisan purposes, or in order to reduce the insurgent States to dependence, it is easy to see that its adoption would make peace inevitable. HERALD.—It is very inconvenient to be mistaken for somebody else, and the more so because the mis take is never made when there is a benefit to be conferred. As i❑ the case of the wrong hat left for you at a ball, the character fastened upon you is sure to be a worse one than your own. The man tor whom you are taken has always been doing something wrong. It may be a mere case of debt. It may be a little matter of forgery. It may be an affair for Sir Cresswell Cress;ell. That there is something unpleasant in the matter you may depend upon it. On the other hand, who ever heard of a man getting money paid that was not owing to him, or receiving gratitude for services never rendered in the form — of a legacy, or reducing a rich lady to matrimony, or realising in short any of Vie prizes of lite, in consequence of his resemblance to some body else ? When one man is mistaken for another man that one man is certain to be in a scrape. The chance is one to which we are all subject, and should it overtake us we can only rely upon the protec tion of the law. This is all very well. But sup pose we have no law but martial law to rely upon ? The first case to which we will refer is that of an ensign in a regiment stationed at Shorncliffe, who was charged with uttering a forged cheque upon the National and Provincial Bank at Folke stone. It was proved in evidence that on the 15th of August east a gentleman drove to the bank in a fly, and presented a cheque for £l5, apparently drawn by an ensign in the 78th Regiment, upon Messrs. Cox and Co., of London, in favour of Mr. Thorpe, an ensign in the same re giment, and demanded cash for it. The clerk asked the gentleman if his name was Thorpe—he replied that it was, signed that name to the cheque, and received payment for it. On the forgery being discovered the clerk went to the camp at Shorn cliffe, and there identified, " to the best of his be lief," the prisoner as the person who had pre sented the cheque. It came out in evidence, how ever, that the cheque was cashed shortly after half past 11, the bearer departing by the train at ten minutes to 12 ; whereas the prisoner applied for leave to go to Canterbury after half-past 11, and end was seen by his colonel at ten minutes to 12 going in the direction of Sandgate. The finnan, moreover, deposed trod the gentleman whom he drove t.) the n ink on that day was noi the priso ier. l'he cif rk not b:eng certain on the subject, and the prisoner having previously bottle an unimpeachable character in the regiment, were additional ergu ments for the defence, and the jury, without hest ation, returned a verdict of not guilty. 'l' hat the verdict was a just one there is not the slightest rea son to doubt. But the prisoner was fortunate in having a fair trial according to law. Had he de pended upon the judament of a court which tried a person alleged to be James Riley, a private in her Majesty's 103 i Regiment, the other day at Poona, in the Bombay Presidency of India, he would pro trebly find himself a disgraced and ruined man. Riley was charged with having refused duty and used insubordinate language. The defence of the prisoner was that he was not a soldier, nor in any way amenable to military discipline. He was apprehended. he declared, at the Cape of Good Hope, in 1861, as a deserter from the 6th Foot, and after having been kept in con finement for ten weeks was sent on board ship for passage to Bombay without ever hav ing been confronted with his accusers or brought before any civil or military authority, or the witnesses against him being sent either at the same time or since. Upon his arrival in Bombay he was attached to the 33d Regiment, and kept in confinement, without trial or investigation, until sent to Poona in September last, and attached to the 103 d. After he had repeatedly asked to be re leased, the adjutant of that regiment requested to know if, in the event of his release being granted, he would " take on" as a soldier, and sign certain papers. His reply was that he was not a soldier, aed only required to be sent about his business. On the 28th November he was released from confine ment without any trial or investigation, and told that he was transferred to the 103 d. But as he did not consider himself a soldier he refused duty, and left the regiment to seek support for his case. He was then once more arrested, brought to trial before a district court martial in December last, and con victed, the only proof offered of his being a soldier being the general order of the commander in chief transferring him to the 103 d. Against that decision he had solicited an appeal to a general court martial in December, 1862. The prisoner submitted that prior to convicting him o f t h e charges which had been made aga inst him it was incumbent upon the prosecutor to show that he was a soldier in accord ance with the Articles of War, that he had been attested in the usual manter, that he had ever re ceived pay as a soldier, or that he had ever sur rendered himself as a deserter, as was also alleged. Further, he urged that the proper course would have been to try him at the Cape, where his accusers were, or else to have sent him to England, where the regiment frcm which he was stated to have originally deserted is stationed, and caused him to be duly recognised ; failing these proceedings, and the prosecutor having had ample time to procure evidence of his so-called desertion, he conceived that there could be no further claim upon him, and that he was entitled to his release. If sucri be not the case, as he very pointedly put it, any man is liable to be apprehended as a deserter who happens to bear a resemblance to an absentee from any corps, to be deported without trial or in vestigation to some foreign station, away from all means of proving his previous mode of life, and compelled to serve as a soldier thousands of miles from the regiment whence he was originally stated to have deserted, and away from all means of esta blishing his innocence. The prisoner's case, there can be no doubt, is conclusive as to the illegality of his detention. Yet in the face of the evident ille gality of the proceedings, even supposing the pri soner to be the right man, and the very reasonable account which he gives of himself to show that he is the wrong one, we find the prisoner again con victed, and sentenced to 168 days' imprisonment in addition to his previous 90 days. But this is not all. The prisoner, upon hearing his sentence, and being ordered to the cells, refused to move from the quarter guard, and, stung by a sense of wrong, uttered language which, if he be not released from military jurisdiction, will probably doom him to penal servitude for the rest of his life. That he will be released from military jurisdiction we sincerely trust, for the case is scandalous beyond all bearing, and calls loudly for the interference of the highest authority. POST.—The victim of the tragedy now popularly known as " the Fordingbridge murder" was the daughter of a respectable farmer, who lost her life in an attempt to defend her honour from the brutal assaults of one of her tether's own labourers, on her way through the fields to church on a Sun ay 131( r a° ing. It was in broad day, and within a few yards of a footpath, that the ruffian pounced upon his victim, whose screams, notwithstanding, brought no assistance to her aid, and who would seem to have been deliberately throttled, and then dragged insensible through mire and filth, which effectually completed, by suffocation, the bloody work which had been begun by violence, Hardly had the murderer expiated his crime on the scaffold when a similar offence was perpet ra t e d, un d e r similar circumstances, an other agricultural district. A younggirl, iinn ser vice never ne i ghbourhood. andwas was sent on after wards seen alive. Her screams were heard durin g a e r n a n t h d e to m a e p d i v a b t l e i c - h u se, betweeno morning n the r p e e ht e ue c rr e ding evening. n h e o d rn h e e a r nd bo t d h y e the es housend n i ght, c h h o t i te h a r e n s d d h awhhlateds when half-.way t e Her suspected assai'ant was immediately arrested, and by dint, of overwhelming circumstantial evi dence was convicted last week, and now lies under sentence of death, 7ithont any hope of reprieve. Prior to the time of its commission, though not in that of its punishment, was the offence of the wretch who at Newcastle-upon-Tyne took advan tage of the drunken wife_of a respectable mechanic, whose life he destroyed in a similar manner. The woman was found Virg dead in a by-street, to which she had been dragged by her murderer, and there immolated to the gratification of his passions. It may be that, as he said upon his trial, murder was not his object. But such a plea was most righteously scouted by the presiding judge, who pointed out the clear rule of law that he who, in the prosecution of an unlawful object, is prepared to carry out its intentions at all huzerds, must be saddled with the responsibilities of whatever re sults may chance to flow from his lawless resolves.. A few more days accordingly will remove from this world a third individual, whose existence could not he continued without peril to the remainder of the community. Painful as the subject is, we cannot avoid referring to a fourth case, he details of which have appeared in a recent impression, and whicb differs only in the fact that death did not follow on the perpetration of the worst outrage that can be inflicted upon a female. Great Barkeam is a vill,ge within twenty miles of Laed el, and is a thickly p. plated part of the county of Surrey. In the month of November last the daughter of a. labouring man was returning home about dusk, when she was accosted by a persot who asked ner the way to Loitherhead, in the oppostte direction. Hardly had she left him when she heard him fol lowing. and, after a vain attempt to escape, was seized and brutally outraged upon the spot. Of her resistance to tee last no doubt existed, and so piercing were her screams that they were heard at the distance of three quarters of a mile, and at tracted to the spot the persons by whom the pri soner was ultimately arrested. The facts of the case were clear. The ruffian himself attempted no defence, beyond the simple allegation that he was so drunk at the time as to be ignorant what he vi as doing. It was given in evidence that the exhaus tion of the poor girl had rendered her all but insen sible, and that her ravisher had narrowly escaped being put on his trial for her murder. The jury, of course, found him guilty, and Mr. Justice Wight man accordingly sentenced him to penal servitude for a term of seven years. Now, we emphatically protest against the exercise of so mistaken a lenity. Had Mr. Adderley's bill passed into law, the scoun drel in question would at least have been made to feel that the indulgence of his lust involve.' an amount of physical pain to himself which would at least have been some security for the crime not being repeated. As it is, he will assuredly be among us again, seven years hence, and may escape with a ticket of leave at a far earlier period. Perhaps, as in a recent instance else where, he will make a point of visiting the scene of his villany, there to insult by his presence a victim whom he has ruined, and a neighbourhood. which he has disgraced. The crime of which he was found guilty is one which is fearfully upon the increase, as any one who will take the trouble to examine the official returns may learn for himself. With a questionable clemency we have ceased to attach to it its old punishment of death. But in defence of innocence in general, when its commis sion is fully proved, justice demands that the heaviest sentence known to the law should be passed upon the perpetrator. If many more escape as lightly as Jas. Baldwin at the Kingston Assizes, no power on earth will prevent the community from taking the remedy into their own hands, and in flicting lynch law upon the offender. Had the two labiurers who seized him delivered him over to the constab:e only after he had been dragged through a horse pond until he was in the same state to which he had reduced his victim, no one would, under the circumstances, have blamed them. Much as the operation of a lex talionis is to be deprecated, it can only be effectually prevented by the conviction that the punishment awarded will be in some degree proportionate to the offence.
