LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 23, 1864.

The fearful slaughter again going on out at the
seat of war in North America is calculated, we should
imagine, to put even the most infatuated sticklers
for the universal application of the Non•lnterven-
policy, slightly out of conceit
Lion principle, or
with their exceedingly safe, but sometimes a:so (we
can quite imagine the contingency) exceedingly
mean panacea. Forty thousand Federale—accorcl-
ing to their own account—put hors-de-
combat, that is, 40,000 killed and Rounded
by reason of the last hideous few hours
fighting Forty thousand Federals. The Federals
being the assailants. But how many Confederates
have been maimed and killed we have yet to learn.
Probably a correspondingly frightful aggregate of
brave men destroyed and annihilated. So that ire
two or three days the chief part of a round 100,000
American citizens have been swept off either sud-
denly to the grave or agonized to the military
hospitals and ambulances. And here again without
anything at all decisive as a grim compensation for
this wasteful destruction of human life. The Fede.
rale, it is true, have advanced at the end of their three
days' fighting. But in their advance they approach
the ably withdrawn forces of LEE in a stronger
position than ever. In a position so strong that it
is reputed to be all but impregnable. Insomuch
that it is absolutely being likened, we observe, to
the renowned position taken up by WELLINGTON in
the Peninsula, behind the lines of Torres Vedras.
The object is, of course, to get at the Southern
capital, the capital of Richmond. And, in aiming
at this, they are so far advancing towards their
aim, thole Northerners : But, it must be confessed,
their successes hitherto, in this advance, are most
curiously and strangely questionable. They fight,
for instance; on the stb, 9da at d 10. h instants, the
Federals under Gentr els HANCOCK, WARREN, and
SEDGWICIi assailing their Southern foe under Ge-
nerals }I'LL, EIVELL, and LONGSTRELT. The con-
t st between the two armies being such, according
to the Federals' own account, that they, the
Northerners, on their own side lose 40,000 men—
and with these 40,000 two out of their three Gene•
ro's, both WARREN cod SEIriWICK 7.eingannnunceci
as killed, On the Sonlern side We know not ozei
how much has been their total of killed and wounded
—knowing, in feet, at the present, for instance.
but of one man out of their whole army bticp
wounded, that one man however being about the
noblest soldier of them all under LEE, namely,
LEE'S veritable b:other-in-arms, the gallant and
