Those who have taken their views of the Atoen.-
cau Civil War from the representations of ti
'orth must Low begin to have some doubts of thei.
n wisdom. Happy is it for England, and happy
it be, we believe, for America, that they are a
Finall minority, and that the great body of the
r. ition has judged for itself in so important a
matter. Had our Government and people been led
way in the early part of this year to cheer on the
crusade of the North, to echo its assertions about
the weakness of the Secessionist movement, and to
j )in in predicting the Union's speedy victory, what
would have been our position now ? Instead of
standing in a decent neutrality between two power-
ful and incensed nations, for so must they now be
filled; instead of being able when the time comes
1) speak with the calm of impartiality and the con-
fidence derived from just anticipations, we should
hive been merely a set of partisans doomed to ex-
Plain away our hasty enthusiasm. Whatever may
he the end of this American contest, Englishmen
will be happy that they counselled peace. Should
the Confederates establish their independence, they
will not be able to accuse us of trying to strangle
their nationality in the cradle. Should the present
differences result in a" transaction" by which the
old Union shall be soldered together for a time, then
neither party will have it to say that the burdens
left by a season of civil strife were increased by our
evil counsels. If anything were needed to confirm
this country in its policy, the present situation of
nffairs would be quite enough. It is now plain
that this must be a gigantic war. It is but four
or five months since we were told that a single
encounter would decide matters. Those who pro-
fessed to know the character of the Southerner
and his opponent assured us that the former was
a mere noisy swaggerer, who might fight pretty well I
for a single day, but would be soon overthrown by
the stern moral man of the North. How complete
has been the mistake of those who took this view of
the combatants may be judged from the present
state of the campaign.
General M'Clellan has, according to the testi-
mony of all, a very excellent body of men under his
command. The active spirits from every Northern
State have flocked to the war. These are far supe-
rior both in bodily strength and in mental culture
to the average of European troops. A large part
of them have been accustomed to the use of arms
from early youth; they are quick and intelligent,
fairly obedient to their officers, and they have
already made very great advances in military dis-
cipline. Of these men there are said to be 200,00 n
in or near Washinton. If we take this estimate as
exaggerated, and reduce the number to 100,000, still
we have an army most formidable in numbers and
in the material of which it is composed. This great
force has every military appliance which a wealthy
and ingenious nation of twenty millions can give it.
Rifles of the best construction, powder of the first
quality, and guns of the most convenient calibre,
both for the field and for sieges, are bought or
manufactured in abundance by the United States
Government. No better tents and blankets and
greatcoats and stockings, we may be sure were ever
furnished to an army. The men aro paid at an
extravagantly high rate, and are able to provide
themselves:with all they want, and even more than
is good for them. The whole of the horse-breed-
ing West is open to furnish the means of transport.
Thousands of mechanics out of work are ready to
make carts and ambulance waggons, and all that
an invading force requires. Such is the new army
of the Potomac, and a more powerful one is seldom
seen even on an European stage.
Oa the other hand there are the Confederates,
of whom all that we know is derived from Northern
sources or comes to us from some chance traveller
who has escaped by a circuitous route from the
blockaded territory. If we take what their oppo-
nents say of them as true, they are the dupes or the
slaves of a bold faction, which alone prolongs the
war. Nothing is more constantly repeated than
that an Union majority exists in every seceded State
except South Carolina. Thus, of the six or seven
millions of Whites in the South, half must be
reckoned as neutral, and the twenty millions of the
North are really bearded by only three millions of
traitors, who are, moreover, kept in constant fear
by four millions of Negroes. This feeble and
desperate faction is shut up in a country which can
neither obtain the materials of war nor the neces-
saries of every-day life from abroad. It wants
sulphur and lead, it wants tea and coffee and wine ;
according to the Northern accounts, it wants even
wheat-flour and woollen cloth. That it has little
money everybody knows • and it has not the oppor-
tunity, even if it had the credit, to obtain a loan.
The material deficiencies of the South arenotorious ;
if, then, its political state were such as is repre-
sented, the army it puts in the field must be most
contemptible. What is a minority of rowdies from
a few States of the Union against the national
forces, supported by the good-will of every State
but one ?
It seems to us that the theory of a divided South
must have been given up even by those Washington
politicians who held to it with such tenacity. Else
why does not General M'Clellan, with his hundred
thousand men, advance and disperse the rebels in
his front ? The truth is that gradually, but surely,
the conviction has come over his Government that
among the hills and woods of Virginia there is a
force not unequal to their own ; that this force,
though far from being well provided with the means
of campaigning, is yet able to make a desperate
struggle for the positions it holds, and that the
capture of these positions will have but little effect
in reducing the country to obedience. While the
argument about the Union party in the South is
still repeated by the few advocates of the war who
remain in England, it has been allowed to die out
beyond the Atlantic. Such an army as General
Johnson commands in Virginia could not be sup-
ported except by the efforts of the whole Confe-
derate people, and General M'Clellan shows his
consciousness of the enemy's strength when he
allows week after week to pass away in preparations
and reconnaissances. The autumn is over ; the
winter, which on the Potomac, is always very cold
or very wet, is at hand ; and yet the Federal
army has not opened the campaign. These fine
troops, now far more fitted for war than any that
ever fought against the British, are kept close
in their quarters, and if they advance will move
with the utmost slowness and caution. In the
meantime the Federals are pressed even in their
own capital. The Confederates have now closed
the Potomac by batteries, which, though they may,
it is said, be made untenable by shells from the
other side, have for the present stopped the sup•
plies for man and beast which were previously re-
ceived up the river. At various points in the long
curve which the Potomac makes the Southerners
were erecting their batteries, which seem to be too
formidable for the Federal vessels to attack.
But the event from which we can gain the best
insight into the course of the campaign is the severe
defeat which the Northerners suffered at Leesburg,
and which, if later rumours be true, was followed
by a still more important reverse a day or two after-
wards. The well-written narrative we gave of it was
taken from the New York Tribune, which cannot '
he suspected of any favour towards the enemy, and
it may, therefore, be concluded that these facts' are
sufficiently accurate. In this bloody encounter one
must readily admit that no disgrace attached to the
Northern troops, who seem to have done all that
can be expected of men. But the lesson should not
be lost on those who have been all their lives boast-
ing of the repulses which they have inflicted on
British colonies. The battle was the usual American
battle, such as has been fought in three great wars
already, and is now likely to determine the event
of a fourth. In fact, the account we published yes-
terday might, with changed names and numbers,
apply almost accurately to the battle on the Monon-
gahela, in Which Braddock was defeated more than
a hundred ears ago, and which first brought the
name of 'Was,,
um ton into notice. The pedantic
veteran, who, withg
marched his head full of the art of war,
throughthe wilderness as if it were
Flanders, and
had
eihalf his force destroyed by
sharpshooters from
h
ned trees, was but the
forerunner of a Biirgoyn and a Pakenham, and
now he has a successorin
a Federal commander.

rebels were familiar with the ground, and kne
precisely where to direct their volleys." oAs e2:071
new line was formed the rebel volleys would seem
to meet them and separate them, as if by lightning
strokes, into broken and scattered groups." The
end was a perfect rout. The drowning of the men
in attempting to recross the river was a dreadful
incident. Out of 1,800 men the loss, according to
the official report, was 680. This battle is impor-
tant as being, perhaps, the type of those to come.
What can the Federals hope for in a country like
Virginia but a succession of Leesburg?, fought
against enemies strongly posted, and ending in de-
feats or dearly purchased victories almost as fatal
as defeats ? The terror inspired by the excesses of
the Northern soldiers, which, bad enough in reality,
are immensely exaggerated by Southern report,
will make Virginians sell every mile of their coun-
try dearly, and leave nothing but a desert as they
retreat. The blood of the South has been thoroughly
roused against the " invaders," and the way in which

A deputation from the District Board of the parish
of Fulham yesterday waited upon the Board to pre-
sent a memorial, urging the commencement forth-
with of the main drainage works for that district.
The deputation consisted of Messrs. Crooke, Morri-
son, Coxhead, Hesketh, Hurst, Barnett, M'Crae,
Ayres, Bean (surveyor), and Lively (clerk). The
memorial stated that a large portion of this densely
populated parish was entirely undrained, by reason
of the sewage falling into the Thames and creating
an enormous and pestilential mud bank, extending
from the Creek to the Suspension-bridge, and they
considered that the construction of local sewers in
such places under present circumstances would be
removing the evil from one place to create as great
a nuisance in another. The open Stamfordbrook
received a large amount of sewage from Harlsden•
green, East Acton, and Turnham-green, spreading
its baneful influence over a considerable portion of
the best property through which it runs, to the
great depreciation of the value of the property and
an injury to the public health. In the parish of
Fulham similar evils existed, and for a great extent
open ditches of considerable length, formerly tidal,
have, by frequent cleansing, had their beds lowered
beneath the levels of the outfalls, and were thus
converted into elongated cesspools, constantly
charged with the most offensive and deleterious
matter. Large areas, with a crowded population,
were without any sewerage whatever, the whole
being riddled with cesspools, which by percolation
were poisoning the wells and rendering them unfit
for domestic purposes, while the costly works of the
Counters Creek Sewer had been of no benefit to
them, being cut off by the West London Railway
and the Kensington Canal. The inhabitants had
cheerfully contributed to the main drainage rate,
as the means for the removal of these evils, and they,
trusted that the main drainage works for this dis-
trict would he commenced forthwith.

An English gentleman had an Irish servant,
whom he took as his attendant to a Highland
grouse-shooting. The expense of the sport to the
Englishman had been very great ; a large rent for
muir, new guns, and muniments of war on grouse,
high-bred dogs, a fashionable shooting costume, and
a countless number of incidental charges. Unfor-
tunately, the sportsman was less expert than extra-
vagant. Like a friend of our own, of whom we have
heard old Willie M— speak, " he was grand at
the shooting, but no very guid at the killing ;" so,
after the first week of the war, as the master and
man were seated on a rock consoling themselves
under the fatigue and disappointment of unsuccessful
pursuit, the Englishman says, " Well, Pat, this is
expensive work. I've been calculating that every
one of these birds cost me above £50." " Faith, your
honour," says Pat," throwing a dash of humour into
the sympathising simplicity of his reply, " I'm sorry
for that, but it's lucky there's no more of them."
A traveller in Ireland, having been inclined to
deny that the peasantry were humorous, was told
to ask any question at the first labouring man he
met on the road. Accordingly, on seeing a sturdy
fellow breaking stones,:he says, " Now, my man, if
the devil were to come here just now, whether would
he take you or me P" " Me, to be sure,"says the man,
"for he is certain of your honour at any time."
A poor old Irish cripple sat begging at a bridge,
urging his appeal to the charity of passengers with
the eager and versatile eloquence of his coun try—
a gentleman and lady—young, gay, and handsome,
with that peculiar look of gratified and complacent
consciousness which indicates the first few weeks of
married life—crossed the bridge. They regarded
not the petitions of the beggar ; so, just as they
passed him, he exclaimed, " May the blessing of the
Lord, which brings love, and joy, and wealth, and a
fine family, follow you all the days of your life ;" a
pause ; the couple passed heedlessly on, and the beg-
gar, with a fine touch of caustic humour, added,
" and never overtake you."
Dean Ramsay tells us of a Scotsman whose ten-
der toe was trodden on; the offender said, " I'm
very sorry, sir; I beg your pardon • and the

he thought she was a wonderful ship, and there was
a probability that such an event as the last would
never occur again. They should divest their minds
of any impression as to the ship not being lucky ; they
had great difficulties to overcome, and it only ro-
quired perseverance to surmount every obstacle.
They had a good property, and, at all events, the
holders of the preference shares had good security.
The directors had recently been offered £150,000
for the ship, but they refused it, believing it to be
worth much more. The first and second mortgages
of £60,000, including the proposed £25,000 would
be amply covered by even the present offer of
£150,000 for the ship.
Captain CARNEGIE seconded the motion for the
adoption of the report.
A long discussion ensued on the management of
the ship, and respecting other matters of a personal
nature, chiefly as to the qualifications of the various
officers, in which Captain Austin, Mr. Taylor, the
Rev. Mr. Nicholson, and other proprietors took
part.

IrswicH LIFEBOAT FUND.—A general collection
is to be made on Sunday, November 10, in the churches
and chapels of Ipswich, and an auxiiiary public meeting
will be hold in the council chamber on Monday, November
11, for the purpose of raising a fund to purchase a lifeboat,
to bo presented by the town to the Royal National Lifeboat
Institution. About XlOO has been already subscribed, and,
from the great sympathy shown by the several ministers
and people, there is no doubt that the requisite sum will be
raised, an example which we trust will bo speedily followed
by other towns of equal importance, whereby the funds of
the Royal National Lifeboat Institution may be greatly in-
creased. Lords Rendlesham and Henniker, Sir Fitzroy
Kelly, M.P., J. Cobbold, Esq., M.P., Hugh Adair, Esq.,
M.P., C. Austin, Esq. (high steward of the borough), the
Mayor, E. Grimwade, Esq., the Hon. F. De Groy, John
Berners, Esq„ A. Arcodockne, Esq., George Josselyn,
Esq., Robert Ransome, Escp, C. Tyrrell, Esq., and many
other influential gentlemen, are patrons of this benevolent
project.

Mr. CROOKES addressed the Board in support of
the memorial, and said that the evils complained of
in the memorial extended over an area of 10 square
miles, with 40,000 inhabitants. There had been
attempts made to remedy these evils by means of a
temporary character, but they had been. found to
be altogether ineffectual until their local drainage
could be passed into a large outfall sewer. They
had received frequent complaints fnom the inhabit-
ants, and the medical officer had strengthened them
in the opinion that they were suffering from the
want of proper drainage.
Mr. STEVENS moved that the memorial be referred
to the Main Drainage Committee for consideration
and report, and said he believed the Board would

take place as to the cause of the accident, but that

OFTEN TOO TRIM—A minister, travelling where
the road was difficult to find, requested a man by the way-
side to direct him, naming the place where he wanted to
go. " Well," said the hedger and ditcher, " keep on just
as you aro going about a mile and a half. There, at the
cross roads, you will see a minister who will direct you to
the left a couple of miles, and there, at the fork of the road,
is another minister, who will direct you to the right about
three miles ; and so on at every fork and cross of the road
is a minister to tell you which road to take." " Ah," said
the parson, "what do you call ministers ?" " Why," said
the other, " thoso things which stand up at the cross and
forks of the road with something like a hand on them."
•' Fingerboards, you mean," said the preacher; why do
you call them ministers ?" " Because they aro always
pointing the way to other people, but never go themselves.'

Mr. SCOTT RUSSELL thought they should leave
the inquiry in the hands of the directors. He be-
lieved they were devoted to the interests of the

company. 'There were many erroneous notions with
regard to the capabilities of the ship. She was de-

signed to trade between England and Australia, and
when it was considered that the fastest ships took
GO days to make the voyage to Australia, and that
their great ship would perform the distance in 40
days, he thought they should immediately direct
their attention to putting her on that line, which
would pay them handsomely. If they had only half
a cargo of goods and half the number of passengers
they could accommodate, they would make an im-
mense profit. He then contrasted the strength of
the ship with that of the ordinary vessels in having
successfully resisted the usual effects of rolling help.

TRUTH THE BEST POLICY.—A merchant at a
country sea-port becoming alarmed on account of a vessel
richly laden which had not reached its destination, sent to
an underwriter to effect (if it could be done) an insurance
on the long-missing vessel; before the policy arrived, the
merchant received information of the vessel, and imme-
diately despatched a note to the underwriter, saying, " If
thou hast not insured the vessel, thee need not, for I have
heard of it." The man had not effected the insurance, but
being unwilling to lose so large a premium, instantly filled
up the policy, and returned for answer, " The withdrawal
is too late, the insurance has been effected, and the premium
must be paid." To which message he received this brief
reply :—" Friend, I am sorry for thee, for thee will be a
great sufferer ; I have heard of the vessel ; vessel and cargo
are both lost." Here we see how the vices are united
