THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA

(Per Norwegian, via Quebec and Londonderry.)
NEW YORK, JULY 25, EVENING.

Several Committees, composed of the mayor and '
all the leading men of wealth and influence in the
commercial and legal community of New York,
have passed numerous strong resolutions declaring
the present time to be the crisis of the rebellion—
that no qualified Unionisms should longer be per-
mitted, and that it is far better that every rebel
should perish than that one more loyal man should
die. The Committee, therefore, earnestly call upon
Prtsident Lincoln immediately to issue an Eman-
cipation proclamation. " This," they say, " will
diminish the rebel army by calling many rebel
officers and men to the defence of their homes. The
Free States and the whole civilised world will
applaud the Emancipation proclamation."
It has been ascertained, with very little doubt
that the Confederates, under Generals (Stonewall)
Jackson and Ewell, are in the vicinity of Gordons-
ville with about 30,000 troops, intending to attack
General Pope.
Affairs are unchanged at Vicksburg. •
General Halleck has gone to Fort Monroe, to

Confederate victory will end the war.

The Danish Government has agreed to take as

The British schooner Star of the East has been

sury. She took out a clearance for Long Cay, in
the Bahamas, and it was asserted her cargo con-
sisted of goods well adapted to the use of the Con-
federates ; hence her seizure.
