these broad assertions remained unanswered, when
lo! the Confederates not only take the field and ap-
pear in the best trim and equipment, bu r y one of
those strategic comliivations which h e been to
them instead of numbers throughout tt e war they
join issue with that army of the V. • erals which
was looked upon as the best drilled a: d tried, out-
viit and actually whip that General on whom the
best hopes of his party began to centre, and whose
late bold movements had elicited so loud an ap-
plause and given rise to such sanguine expectations.
No doubt, mere numbers and the inexhaustible-
ness of material means seem to secure the victory
in favour of the Northerners in the long run ; but
victory is put off from year's end to year's end never-
theless. The South has done and is doing more than
would be necessary to save its honour, and is ever
ready to take advantage of anythingthatthechualtnrca.
chance
may turn out in its favour; and whatever
Republicans may say to the contrary, the prolongs.
tion of theatvar has a terribly demoralising tendency
in the North, parties begin to run dangerously
high, and the prospect of anarchy stares the people
in the face.
In Missouri the Radical party are turning all their
energies to remove Gen. Schofield, a gentle, well-
meaning man, whose reluctance to adopt sweeping
measures they construe into sympathy with men of
rebel tendencies. A deputation of these Black Re-
publicans has gone up to Washington to solicit the
recall of the obnoxious commander. Prone as the
Washington Cabinet may be to obey the behests of
the Radicals, it is hardly to be expected that they
will in to this blind animosity against a public func-
tionary who has done his duty with no less zeal
than discernment. But, in the event of the unsuc-
cess of their deputation, the Missouri Republicans
shrink from no violent measures. They have orga-
nised clubs and committees of public safety, who
glory in their open hostility to Gen. Schofield,
Governor Gamble, and nearly all the men now at
the head of the State. The Republican party in
Missouri, among the native Americans, is conspicu-
ous neither for its numbers nor for its character ;
but they bring into the field several thousand Ger-
mans, a nation in itself, especially in Louis, where
they constituted no less than one-third of the popu-
lation. These men are for the most part political
refugees, who left their country in 1849, at the time
of the senseless movement of Badon and other parts
of South Germany. They came to America with
their cry of Hecker Hock and dived into all the
maddest fancies of Red Republicanism. They
are not liked by the generality of Americans,
because they affect irreligious and communistic
notions, and are the easy prey of any demagogue
who will give himself the trouble of leading them
by the nose. Their vote, however gotten, has no
trifling weight, nevertheless; and the Radicals
reckon also not a little on their faust-recht, should
ever party contest come to be decided by riots in
the streets. On the other hand, the Democrats, the
peace men, and Conservatives, whether of Southern
tendencies or otherwise, and, in mere self-defence,
even the men at the head of affairs in the State of
Missouri, are compelled to seek among the Irish a
counterpoise against the overwhelming ascendency
of the German element. The Irish, the Roman Ca

tholics especially, with their clergy at their head,
are the sworn friends of the " Copperheads" in St.
Louis, as they are in New York; and the Americans,
who in their hearts despise both these set of aliens,
are too fain to count their votes on either side in

the event of an election, too glad to set them by the
ears on the occurrence of a popular fight.

Sept. 25.

The road to Nashville is clear since yesterday,
and the official reports of the burning of bridges, and
other damage to the railway line done by the rebel
guerillas, appear to have been greatly, and perhaps
purposely, exaggerated. lam told, however, that
I shall not be able to proceed further than Nash-
ville, as Gen. Rosencranz has issued the strictest
orders that no stranger should on any account what-
ever be allowed to go up to his encampment, alleg-
ing the difficulty he has to contend with in precut-
ing provisions not only for his army, which is well
supplied for a month, but also for the local popula-
tion, when the trampling of contending hosts has
reduced to the direst distress. Whether actuated by
this or by any other motive, Rosencranz seems de-
termined to have no near witness of his warlike
achievements, and desirous that the world should
only hear of them through the organ of the Washin-
gton official press. His own latest telegraph to Wash-
ington on the 23d, was, " I cannot be dislodged from
my position"—an announcement which must satisfy
the Federal authorities that their general is acting on
the defensive, and that the position of the armies is
completely reversed, as Rosencranz had marched out
of Chattanooga, not with the intention of merely
holding his ground, but of dislodging the enemy.
Private information fresh from Chattanooga is to
the effect that "Rosencranz's army has met with a
defeat which must put them upon the defensive for
some time to come. All the honour of the battles
of Saturday and Sunday last, on the part of the
Federals, is due to Gen. Thomas's corps, which
" was the only oue that did any fighting, and de-
feated Longstreet with terrible slaughter." M'Cook
and Crittenden's corps, which were at the centre,
eg gave way in every direction," and had the enemy
been aware of their success, and followed up their

advantage, the Federal defeat would have been coin

plete. As it was, Thomas was, by the defection of
the centre, compelled to abandon his part of the
field, and fell back to protect his flank. Wood and
Negley came up into the abandoned centre i❑ the
evening, and the line of battle was thu.3 in some
manner restored. This for Saturday. Oo Sunday
the Federals had to withstand a second attack, and

it was again Thomas, who " saved the army of the
Cumberland from annihilation.' From 10 to 12
o'clock he repulsed the Confederates in three
charges, when these again turning their onset against
the centre broke M'Cook's and Crittenden's lines,
and drove them " in disgraceful Fanic" to Rossville
and Chattanooga. Thomas held his ground with
rare steadiness till, by the reinforcement of General
G. Granger, he was enabled to effect his retreat into
Rossville, bearing the brunt of the battle, and co-
vering the retreat of the whole army.

These meagre particulars will probably be of little
importance to England, where they will be preceded
by fuller and perhaps more authentic accounts.
Such as they are, however, I deemed it expedient
to give them in a few words, knowing them to
spring from unsuspected sources. For the rest, it
requires no very deep knowledge of the subject to
be aware that the conflict of Chattanooga, like so
many other battles in this hopeless civil war, was
only a drawn game, void of results, and leaving the
contending parties pretty much as they were. The
Union party are ready to hail defeat as well as vic-
tory as equally sure to lead to the speedy exhaustion
of their foes, while the latter exult in the evidence
of their unwearied vitality, and declare that the

people here in Kentucky who are as sure of a a Con.
vention of offensive and defensive alliance" having
been stipulated between the Emperor and the
Southern Commissioner as if they had seen the
signed and seeded paper with their own eyes.
The state of Kentucky has been " debateable
ground,' between the contending parties for the last
three years., and the war has weighed cruelly upon
it. As many of the youths of the country as en-
listed in the ranks of the Confederate armies at the
outbreak uf the war have since volunteered or been
induced to range themselves under the Federal
standards. Of these latter I have heard Union
officers say that they are brave, hardy soldiers,
highly amenable to discipline, excellent on all
points,
"every Kentucky man invariably behaving
45 if he deemed himself destined for the honours of

the Presidential dignity at the head of the Govern-
ment of the United States." Nothing more common
here than to talk with parents whose children are
equally shared among the contending parties in this
unbrotherly feud, half on the one side, half on the
other of every battle field, and to these it is not easy,
under such conditions, to pray for victory to either
party. " Old Kentuck," however, is, in the mass,
stanch Secessionist, or, I should rather say, South-
ern sympathiser, nevertheless. These people are
more outspoken than the Marylanders, and the
Government seems to have too much respect for
their strong-willed and resentful character not to
treat them with comparative gentleness and huma-
nity. The military commander exercising
absolute
sway here, such as General Boyle and Colonels
Mundy and Hanson, are all Kentuckians, and their
countrymen have to apprehend from them none of
the wanton brutality to which people at the mercy
of such " Yankee lawyers" as Butler and Schenk
had to submit. With all these advantages, how-
ever, the Kentucky people describe their condi-
tion as deplorable ; they point to the country
houses, homefields, gardens, and groves which have
been burnt down, cut down, or otherwise laid waste
by the soldiery quartered there with a view to
punish a supposed rebel, or to being to terms sus-
pected disloyalty. They complain that the laws are
put aside altogether; that, however lenient, the
rule of the military is wayward and arbitrary; that
scarcely a day passes without the disgraceful exhi-
bition of "ladies,"- as all white women are called in
America, dragged before the Provost-Marshal to
answer the charge of having "waved their hand-
kerchiefs," or otherwise showed sympathy to Con-
federate prisoners.
A whole bevy of 25 misses in their teens, belong-
ing to an " establishment " of which I do not well
know the nature—factory girls, I suspect—had to
put up with that indignity no later than yesterday ;
and although it was admitted that their guilt rested
on no proof, and their innocence was fully established,
still they had to submit to that silly ordeal, the
"oath of allegiance ;" that vain and gratuitous an-
noyance which does not ,secure the fidelity of a
single citizen, but greatly adds to the number of the
disaffected and the " martyrs." The press, as it enu-
merates these deeds of wanton severity, takes care
to attribute high praises to the men in authority for
the gentleness and courtesy with which they acquit
themselves of their irksome duties. No civility or
politeness, however, can make amends to a young
lady or woman—if the words are equivalent in a
republic—or to het parents for the part she may be
made to play in a " scene at the Provost Marshal's;"
nor is it any consolation to her or to her friends,
after being dragged into a court-room, to have it
ultimately stated that she was "not guilty of any
offence against the laws or the Government, and her

innocence was clearly set forth." The gallant colo-
nel filling the office of Provost-Marshal, we are
told, " fights treason at home with the same splen-
did bravery which has characterised him heretofore

in the field." A fight with young women, however,
especially if they turn out innocent, must lower a
man of " fearless courage and undaunted will" in his
own estimation, and it is difficult to imagine
that
any real strength may accrue to the Government by
taking note of any wave of a handkerchief, or even
of any tear, by which tender woman ventures to ex-
press her sympathies in behalf of unfortunate valour.
Again, in the same afternoon of yesterday a
" lady" was requested to call at Colonel Hanson's
office and take the oath of allegiance to the United
States ; she called as desired, but insisted that she
had only lived in Louisville two months, and had
not had time to say anything either for or against
the Government. The Colonel replied as follows
" Madam, with all the facilities you have for talking
you could have said a great deal in that length of
time." Upon that suppositious argument that "it
was just possible she might have spoken for or
against the Government," the oath was enforced
upon her, and she " took the oath.' I know not to
what extent compulsory oaths may be binding on
American consciences, but, judging from the com-
mon standard of humanity, I should feel less dis-
posed to rely on the allegiance of that or of other
ladies after they had been sworn than before.

It is meanwhile by this galling yet almost puerile
system of persecution that the Government, and the
Radical faction which influences it, lay up for them-
selves such a treasure of rancour, such an immense
amount of popular hatred in these Southern dis-
tricts. The mere name of " Yankee " was already
sufficiently obnoxious in these parts in former times,
and the very men and officers who are now
fighting
side by side in the Union ranks with Northerners
and down-Easterners harbour feelings of contempt
and dislike against their " brothers in arms" which
amount to unjust and absurd prejudice. This san-
guinary war could hardly fail to aggravate these
mutual animosities; still torrents of blood shed in
the field, and dire execution in the heat of long con-
tested victory, were hardly fraught with as much
mischief, so far as the prospects of future union as
based on ,goodPunderstanding are concerned, as the
cold blooded severity, the vexatious inquisitiveness,
the fretful jealousy and vindictiveness of the Go-
vernment and its subaltern 'agents. These Louis-
villians, who speak to me unreservedly, are per-
fectly savage about it. Their hatred, to hear them,
is implacable, and were nothing to turn up to miti-
gate their fate " they would all desert their country
and doom themselves to perpetual exile rather than
see the humiliation of their fellow-citizens, and
swell the triumph of their oppressors.' I have,
however, no great faith in the eternity of either
love or hatted, and, although, no doubt, many of
the Louisville merchants have been ruined by the
interruption of the Mississippi trade, and by the
annihilation of the Southern markets, yet I believe
the land has too great an attraction for its natives,
and offers them too ample resources, for any great

number to be driven to the desperate measure of
self-banishment.
The Government of the United States has offered
to buy from loyal landowners in Maryland all such
slaves as may be deemed able to bear arms at the
price of 300 doll. each; these freed men will instantly
be enlisted as soldiers in the coloured regiments. 1

wish you could hear the comments of these Km.

tuckians on that decree. What !" they say, " was
it not enough to welcome a fugitive slave, to put a
musket in his band, and place him in the ranks with
white combatants P The runaway slave deserved at
least some credit for daring aspiration. He might
have been desirous to show himself worthy of free-
dom,worthy to strike a blo w for his own emancipation,
forithe redemption of his fellow-bondsmen; but to
buy a slave, a willing, contented slave, to fight the
battles of freedom—to buy the despised African,
after exhausting the market of the heavy Germans,
of the riotous Irish, of the riff-raff of all Europe—
is that what was to be expected -of 20,000,000 of

. .
freemen engaged in war against less than 7,000,000
or 8,000,000, after three years of boasted victories,
after a struggle in which the material means of the
stronger party were said to be multiplied, while
the weaker party was described as utterly worn out,
as on the eve of a final and general collapse ?" For
their own part, whatever may have been asserted to

,he contrary, the Southerners will not avail them-

selves of their negroes, slave or free, in their war
with their former brethren. They will arm the

negro, not with sword or musket, but only with the

spade or the currycomb, dooming him to those
menial offices in time of war for which alone they
deemed him fit in days of peace.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.
Theicontinuance of this splendid autumn weather helped
to draw a concourse to the heath this morning, not always
seen on the day after the Caesarewitch, and which the at-
tractions of a not particularly interesting card scarcely war-
ranted.
Water Kelpie and Curacao, wretches both, scarcely raised
a gallop in the Beaufort Stakes, and Anonyma cleverly
snatched the race from the favourite Donnybrook in the
25 soya Sweepstakes. There was a good race between
Signalman and the Plush filly for the 15 sovs Sweepstakes,
which Mr. Payne's colt won by a head. Lord Glasgow's
star was again in the ascendant, he winning his match with
Mr. Greville cleverly after a good set-to at the finish.
Maccaroni walked over for the Select Stakes, Roman Bee,
reported to be "a clipper," declining a:contest with the
Derby winner—and the Bedford was an easy victory for
Goldylocks. Donnybrook cantered in some dozen lengths in
advance of his horses for the Ottlands Handicap, and
though Lord Stamford's Orpheus was fancied by the cog-
noscenti for the 50 soya Sweepstakes, it proved only a canter
for Mr. Naylor's filly, who won with ease by a length.
The sun shone brightly all day, and though the sport
was not of a very first-rate character, yet the weather some-
what made amends.

They ran nearly in a line to the commencement of the
cords, tha favourite, with the Voucher colt, then drew
slightly in advance, the former having a shade the best
of it to within a dozen strides of the chair, where Adams
brought out his horse and won very cleverly by a couple
of lengths; a head separated the second and third;
Flaneur was fourth, close up, then came Sea Boy, Roths-

Roodee and the Plush colt to the cords, where the latter
headed Mr. Clarke's colt, and caught Signalman half-a-
dozen strides from home, and won a fine race by a head ;
half-a-dozen lengths separated the second and third. The

The start was delayed some time in consequence of the
restiveness of Vindictive, who bolted, and being brought
back to her horses she repeated the feat, and did not get
back in time to start. On the flag falling, Airedale, in com-
pany with Rosebud, Rosins, Golden Dust, and Twilight
ran into the cords, where Golden Dust took a decided lead,
and won cleverly by half a length; a length between the
second and third ; Airedale was fourth, close up, Walloon
fifth, and the Gentle Kitty colt next.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Unerring Precision.— When the health is breaking down
from the o,4ntinuance of some weakening discharge ; when
ulcers refuse to heal and extending mischief is threatened,

SPIRIT OP TH.E PUBLIC lOD-RNAiST

Times.---Whoever recommended the Russian
Emperor to send a squadron of frigates to Now
York may congratulate himself on a great success.
Now that it is done we see that it was exactly the
thing to do, and almost wonder that it never oc-
curred before to the astute politicians of St. Peters.
burg. The resemblances between the United States
and the Russian empire have not only been re-
marked by every one who has thought on the pre-
gent and the probable future state of the world, but
they have created a sympathy between the two
Powers which is becoming stronger under the in-
fluence of calamity, disappointed ambition, and the
rebukes of the civilised world. Beth in their ar-
rogance and petulance of a few years since and
in their present tone of more limited pretensions,
the Americans and Russians have shown an
accord which indicates the gravitation of the
two Powers to a permanent alliance. In
the palmy days when Nicholas affected to be
the arbiter of the Old World, and the American
Presidents were conquering provinces in the New,
the constant theme of congratulation between the
Republic and the Despotism was the decadence of
all Powers but themselves, and the certainty that
they would subject all the countries about them,
one after the other, to their dominion. They both
had enormous territory, and regions still more itn-
mense which they could make their own when they
would. They were both new Powers, unencatn-
bered with the debts, the traditions, and the in-
ferior social organisation of their older rivals. They
had a manifest destiny, and were to fulfil the
designs of Providence by plundering and subjuga-
ting all who were not strong enough to resist. And
who should resist fifty years hence, when the popu-
lations of the two aggressive empires should have
doubled and tripled in a fashion impossible to the
crowded inhabitants of Western Europe ? From
these dreams Russia was roused by a war which
showed how unable she was to face the Western
Powers, which forced her to dismantle a fortress and
cede a portion of her territory, and which, if it had
continued another year, would certainly have de-
prived her of valuable provinces. The pride of the
United States has still more lately met its fall. The
disruption of the Republic, the proof that a large
part of the people had ceased to care for the Union—
nay, had imbibed a strong hatred against the rest of
their countrymen—the gloomy prospect of lingering
warfare, to be ended at the very best only by the
extirpation of the Southerners and the ruin of their
country —these things are weighing on the spirits of
the Federal patriots, whose Fourth of July orations
used once to paint such a transcendent future. In
the hour of common trial the Czar gives his officers
the opportunity of showing his Republican allies
how mach they sympathise with each other, and
resent the of England and France. Not that
the discreet and guarded Muscovites would ever
hint that their visit had a political object, or that
they had anything but esteem for Englishmen,
Frenchmen, and all mankind. The coarser part of
the speechmaking is left to the New York orators,
just as the interpretation of the squadron's visit,
as the sign of a speedy alliance between the two
countries, for the punishment of European perfidy,
is allowed to be given to the world by tee American
press. But there can be little doubt that what has
taken place is just what the Emperor foresaw and
deaired. At a time when both be and his brother
potentate at Washington are carrying on a relent-
less war against so-called " rebels, ' and each is in
some trepidation as to the policy of France, the Czar
calls forth an exhibition of the mutual sympathy be-
tween their respective nations. The time could not
have been better chosen, the success could not have
been more complete. The Russian officers are the

lions of the hour. They are invited everywhereJ;
the British and French officers remain unnoticed
on board their ships. It is entirely understood that
by the unusual honours paid to the Czar's frigates
is testified the goodwill of the Federal Government
and people towards him and the work which his
troops are doing in Europe. Republican syir pathy
rises freely for one who is engaged in putting down
rebels. When almost every nation in Europe pro-
tested against the Russian atrocities in the spring,
Mr. Seward declined to condemn them. This was but
the due return for the Emperor's refusal to interfere
in American affairs. The good understanding still
prevails. No American can see anything wrong in
a Polish war, to which that carried on in Virginia
and Tennessee bears so strong a resemblance. No
Russian can desire anything but the success of a
Government which he hopes will make a diversion
in favour of the Czar, whenever that Sovereign's
method of dealing with his Polish subjects is ques-
tioned by Western Europe. To what length the
enthusiasm of the new alliance can lead a Federal
audience is amusingly shown by the reported speech
of Admiral Lisovski at a banquet given to himself
and his officers. The health of the Emperor had
been drunk with great applause, and the Admiral
duly returned thanks. The praise which the Ameri-
can speaker lavished on his Majesty was, according
to the Admiral, really deserved. "He is certainly
not only the benefactor of his subjects," exclaimed
the eloquent seaman, " he is the friend of mankind.
From what he has already done, from what he is
doing every day, he is certainly entitled to the same
surname which once a Roman Emperor claimed,
The Delight of Mankind.'" When we recollect
that these words were spoken to and cheered voci-
ferously by a people who have for 80 years been
preaching to the world self-government and the
right of mankind to be free, we may see how little
strength political principles possess compared with
the impulses or fancied interests of the hour. The
support of Russia is valuable, and therefore all the
national traditions concerning nationality and
popular rights are forgotten in a moment, and the
servant of a despotic monarchy is applauded for
saying that the Prince who is now ordering the
massacres and confiscations iu Warsaw, and whose
rule has been officially denounced as a tyranny by
the most conservative Powers in Europe, is the
"Delight of Mankind." That the sympathies of the
audience were completely with the Russian Govern-
ment is made more evident by their reception of
Gen. Wallbridge's eloquence. This gentleman, who
made the speech of the evening, after telling his
hearers that England had in the early part of the
century been "driven from the ocean" by the Ame-
ricans, said what is true, but what has seldom been
so openly avowed by American society—.“ In the
struggle which Russia had in 1854 with France and
England, the sympathies of our people were with
Russia." This assertion was received with cheers,
and cries of "That's so." His vision of the future
was, that "Providence has decreed that there shall
be two great hemispheres, one the 1.-isetern and the
other the Western. The one shall be represented
by Russia, and the ether by the United States."
Equally magniloquent was ties gen. Hendricks B.
Wright, member of Congress, who said that f' there
were but two first-clasp:Powers in the world—Rus-
sia and the United States—beeaueo they wore the
only two that could from their own resources and
within themselves either put down insurrection or
resist a combination of all the other Powers of the
world." (Applause.) Indeed, the community of the
two great empires, made more sensible by the circum-
stance that both are engaged in "putting down the
rebels," seems to have been the Idea pre-
sent to every one's mind. It wanted but this
bond to make perfect the union between
the two nations. Each will bid defiance to
the world, relying upon its just right to destroy
every population and devastate every province
which dares to disarrange its plans of empire by
any such words as "liberty" and " independence.'
HERALD.—Possibly there are cogent reasons why
every year the assemblage of the Social Science Con-
gress should be denounced as an explosion of wind-
bags. Possibly, too, there is a cause in Nature for
the aggravated derision with which, from particular
quarters the association is assailed when it meets at

Edinburgh. We might, perhaps, be following the
example of exaggeration were we to prefer the
amiable debates in the Scottish capital before the
tilting of crowned heads at Frankfort-on-the
Maine. But there is, after all, a peculiar fitness in
the choice of Edinburgh for this year's summing-up
of results deduced from the quiet meditations of ear-
nest men upon the questions which touch the inte-
rests of every man, woman, and child upon the earth,
No doubt, as the cavillers urge, there is superfluous
small talk, there are worthless papers, there is infi-
nitely more than would suffice of mutual eulogy;
but let these weaknesses, and the amenities arising
from them, pass. It is something to get the more
prosperous and better educated classes to think of
the social strata beneath them, and Edinburgh has
invariably been hospitable and congenial with
science of every colour. It is amusing, at this com-
paratively s ight distance of time, to remember the
year 1835, when the British Scientific Association,
presided over by Sir Thomas Brisbane, Sir David
Brewster, and D. r. Romney Robinson, held its
fourth congress in that city. "It is ton remote,"
exclaimed a number of timid philosophers,
' from the scientific population of the island. ' The
meeting cannot succeed." However, twelve hundred
and sixty eight members were present, with Arago,
Agassiz, and Brougham. They saw then, and com-
mented upon, what Mr. Chadwick and Dr. Arnott
saw afterwards; abominations which palled for npt
a little Social Science to remove them—the foul
burn, the scandal of Auld Reekie, with its populous
and 'wild banks, the noisome marshes around Holy-
rood. How much has since been changed at the
bidding of a social science less organised and, some
might say, less ostentatious than that of our times)
But the ostentation, pr rather the formality, publi-
city, and eclat, are useful, and hays done rod, in
their degree, in the wynds of Edinburgh; "mine
own romantic town," as Marmion sang, but not in
ur
his generation by any means too savoy, in spite of
the " glosmy splendour red," the " sable turrets,"
