PARTICULARS OF THE REcAPTURE OF LEI


PARTICULARS OF THE REcAPTURE OF LEX
INeToN.
The dispatch from Jefferson City to the
Democrat says'
The surprise was 90 complete that the
rebels knew nothing Of the approach of our
force until volley was poured in upon
them. They threw down their arms in the
greatest confusion and fed in every direc.
ton. Our men pursued for eight or nine
miles, and took q great quantity of pistols,
guns, knapsscks, and other articles, which
they threw away to facilitate their flight.
Besides these, they found two pieces of
cannon at the post. There are now there more
than one hundred of the rebels, sick or
wounded. The Siour City brought down
about one hundred of our wounded-among
them Colonels Grover and White. Both these
gentlemen are slowly recovering.
The condition of Lexington is said to be
deploTable in the last degree. Portions of the
town are utterly laid waste, and there is
actual suffering among the inhabitants for
food and the necessaries of life. The stores
and many dwellings have been stripped. The
rebels took every thing they could carry, and
wantonly destroyed much that they were
obliged to leave. The rebel garrison consisted
of about three hundred, under the notorious
Captain Shelby.
White having sent in spy and discovered
the strength of the place, accomplished the
brilliant exploit with volunteer force of
one hundred and fifty men.

The Mexican TronbIea

The Ardbia's mails bring fuller accounts OF
the preparations for the allied expedition
against Mexico. The London Post Of the 4th
inst. makes this semi. official announcement: F:
It is understood that by the middle of No
vember the climate of Vera Cruz and Tam
pico will be well suited to the forthcoming
Intervention of the allied forces in the Gulf
of Mexico. From that time the healthy sea-
son begins, and it commonly continues dur
ing some six months-a period far more than
sufficient for putting into gear our plans for
the liquidation of our claims against the Re-
public of Mexico. Although it would be
impossible to fix the precise moment for the
commencement of the operations in the Gulf,
there is little doubt that in the first week Of
the healthy season we shall be in a position
to carry into effect, jointly with the forces
of France and Spain, the intervention which
we announced more than week ago.
We have every reason to anticipate that
long before the unhealthy season returns in
Mexico, the great proportion of our sailors
and marines may be in position to quit
possession of Vera Cruz, Tampico and such
other ports as they may seize along the Gulf.
1t is not too much, indeed, to hope that q
very brief career of active hostilities in the
principal cities Of the coast will result in
bringing the Mexican Government to our
I6TIns anu IL Is OUflOuS IudL Wien Jl0 pro-
cess which we are prepared to carry into
effect among the principal Gulf cities shall
have been formally agreed to by the best
executive authority that exists in Mexico, il
will be competent to us to relinquish our
forcible possession of the ports that we may
have held meanwhile as material guarantees
Two or three vessels of war in the roadsteads
of each of the ports that are to be placed
under system of revenue sequestration, will
then be in all probability the utmost thai
| will be required.
The London Times says:
The pacifcstion of Mexico can bt
better effected by the intervention of thu
great powers than by the reconquest of tht
country by a second-rate state. What il
wanted is that peace and order should be en-
forced for few years, and that the improve
ment of the people should be left to thos
causes which have regenerated more thai
one European nation.
The Paris Presss throws doubt on an asser
ton made by the Correspondencia, that N
understanding has been come to between
France and England as to a-joint interveu
tion in Mexico. Contrary to what the Cor
respondencia announces, says the Paris jour
nal, the negotiations have not been broke
off between England, France and Spain, re-
alive to Mexico; but up to the present tim
| no decision has been come to,

The Way to Heir humanity and Lanon.


shire.
The London Star and DIAL Of the 3D. inst.
accompanies an appeal for the development
of the Indian, Egyptian and Australian cot
ton lands with the following excellent re-
marks:
great opportunity Is before us. We may
pluck permanent safety out of the midst o.fan
imminent danger. We may confer immense
benefit on millions of our fellow-subiects,
and on millions more Of our rfellow-creatures.
We may solve the most urgent Of English
questions by a method which will solve also
the worst of American difficulties. The
present and the future of two great nations
are bound up together in one problem. A
plentiful supply of cotton is to England the
indispensable condition of existence A de
minished demand for the principal produce
ofSouthern States is the most hopeful chance
of negro emancipation. There are wide and
fruitful cotton fields within our own terri
tories. There is an absolute impossibility of
obtaining present supplies from America.
That impossibiity may be indefinitely pro-
tracted. The politicians of the Union are too
strong for the soldiers and citizens, who
would make the war short and decisive. 1t
may be prolonged-it may be renewed. There
can be no more reliance upon the CONNER
cial operations of country divided against
itself.
The blockade of Southern ports is now so
effective that not bale of cotton escapes
thence to our shores, though the price is
double or treble the average. Not even the
prospect of getting twenty cents per pound
at Liverpool for what can be bought at six
cents in Charleston, tempts the merchants to
speculate on evading the Union cruisers.
There is not pound of cotton on the At
lantic, except under the fsg that conveys it
as the spoil Of war to New York. Our stocks
are getting low; our markets are feverish;
our mills are beginning to work short time.
Are we to persist in looking to the disturbed
and war-stricken West for supplies which it
can not yield without o miracle Of paci6ca-
ton? Or shall we Rot apply ourselves with
vigorous promptitude to the sources that lie
within our own tranquil empire, and within
reach Of very moderate exertions.
America can, at any rate, not in
crease her supply, unless-which God and
man may be trusted to avertl-she also
increases her slave grounds. 1t is India and
the British Colonies that must supply the
wants of the future-the wants unsatisfed
by the four millions of bales hitherto supplied
by the United States. The two millions of
bales yielded by other countries must be
doubled or trebled before we begin to see the
natural level of supply and demand. We
may hope to see by that time the American
negro as free as the British operative, and the
Indian ryot or coolie as well content as
either. Good luck to all who aspire to help
on SO happy result.

THERE is an abundance of idle writing
about General Fremont; what he has done,
and the way he has been treated by the Gov
ernment; but the sum of what is said seems
to be in an inverse ratio to the sum of what
is known. There is little that has been
alleged that has not been contradicted, and
the authority in the one case seems just as
good as it is in the other. There is, we are
assured, such person as General Fremont,
who is, or has been, in command Of the West
ern Division of the army; his course, on the
recent visit of the Secretary of War, has either
been approved or otherwise and he has
either been superseded by the Administra-
ton, OF be has not.

LoRG CANOE VoYAaE.-At a recent meet
ing of the American Ethnological Society,
Of New York, as we learn from the Com.
meTcidl Advertiser:
The Recording Secretary read an account,
by Mr.. JOane Of the Micronesian Mission,
published in June last, of voyage of FIVE
hundred miles and back, maoe by a few ma .
tives in their little canoes, without O COM
pass, and with only two stopping places,
guided by the stars, currents, winds, etc.
This writer remarked that this fact proved
that the islands of the Pacific might have
been peopled either by accident or by design
and accounted for known resemblances in
language, etc.
1t is certain that the Sandwich Island;
were peoped from the Society Islands, and
that voy ages were made between them be
fore the days of Captain Cook. Mr.. Gulick
stated at former meeting of the society
that be had seen natives who had recently
| performed that voyage in canoes; and they
declined accepting a compass, saying thai
their pilot had one in his head.
Mr.. Buckingham Smith mentioned thai
certain old Spanish writers spoke of some o.
| the Americans as having the points of thu
! compass always in mind, so that they knew
their courses and bearings even at the bot
tom of mine. Their languages also haVl
words corresponding with this remarkable
| custom.

REBEL AGENTS MANAGING EUROPEAN TEL
EGRAPHs.-The agency of Mr.. Renter is the
channel through which telegraphic informa-
tion is distributed to the English and Cont
mental journals. The following news, which
the agency sends to the entire European
press, as coming "direct from the Southern
States" shows how indefatigably the rebel
emissaries are working to mold public
opinion in Europe:
The cotton loan to the Confederate Gov
eminent amounted to one million bales on
the 9th of September. On that day-the
day that he was reported to have died-Pres-
ident Davis was IN his office at Richmond
attending to bis official duties. The news is
confirmed that the authorities of Spain, in
Cuba, have issued an order to have the same
the Confederate flag that is enjoyed by the
flags OF other countries. AT Richmond, the
loss estimated of the enemy at Manassas is
fifteen thousand in killed, wounded and
prisoners. Mcclellan is closely hemmed in
between the lines of Beauregard and John
ston and the Potomac. No Importance what.
ever was attached to the loss of Hatteras.
The press in the South is at liberty to discuss
public matters freely. Never we're a people
more cordially united than the citizens of
the Confederate States. The cotton picking
season had fully commenced, and the plant
eTs were storing their crops away in the seed
on their estates, there TO remain at the dis
posal of Government until the raising of the
blockade.

FEMALE OCCUPANTS OF THE WHITE HOUSE.

field Republican writes as follows;
Mrs. Lincoln is very active woman.
Nothing escapes her eye. She manages the

her turn for politics would not subject her
to adverse criticism, but the American peo-
pie are 30 Injured TO these things, that it is
not easy for them to like it. Mrs. Douglas
was good deal of politician, but rather
improved it by her social alliances. Mrs.
Lane never alluded to politics, and Miss
Pierce knew nothing about them. She was
probably the most simple. hearted woman
that ever presided at the Presidents table.
The word simple" is not used in a depre.

THE CoUNT DE GAsPARN.-In the future
history of this country the name of De Gas

creation. In the first place, he has written
the noblest and truest book about us that has
ever been issued from any foreign source
since his compatriot, De, Tocqueville, laid
down the pen; and in the second, he has
added to the power of his literary effort o
further and more convincing assistance in O
