During the past two weeks over two thou

wood for New York was obtained from along

FLAG OF TRuoE.-A person, variously re.
ported to be named Taylor and Johnston, bring
ing letter addressed to President Lincoln
which Gen. Beauregard, at Manassas Junction,
indorsed as from Jefferson Davis, was sent in on
Monday by Col. Porter to Gen. McDowelrs
quarters, at Arlington. The General sent him
over to headquarters, where he was kindly but
closely kept, and returned under escort. The
letter amounted to nothing, of course, and was
merely ruse, to give the bearer an opportunity
to see whether there was any movement OF
positive character within our lines. The letter
received no answer from the President.

TIE AFFAIR OF July at is now stated,
from Martinsburg, that General Pattersou's let.
ter.book shows that he reported the number of
the enemy engaged by his force on the I'd in.
slant at too thousand, and not at ten thousand.
1t is not probable that General Johnson's
whole force has ever exceeded ten thousand
men. That was the figure given by the cor.
respondent of the Charleston Is. C.) Courier
on the 23d Of June, and his force is not an in.
creasing one. Sickness and desertion make
constant inroads.
There are rumors, at Martinsburg, that he
has received renforcements, carrying his num-
bers up to seventeen thousand, and even to
twenty FIVE thousand. lie has probably called
in the troops which he detached to Romney
after the evacuation of Harper's Ferry, but
where he is to get new troops, unless they drop
from the clouds, is not obvious. They seem to
think, at Martinsburg, that troops have gone up
from Manassas Junction to the assistance of
General johnson, but it is much more likely
that he will be summoned down to the defence
of the Junction, against the overwhelming
army now displayed by General Scott in front
of it. Manassas Junction has no rebel regi
msnts to spare to General johnson, Or anybody
else

THE BANK OF ENGLAND.

Prior to the formation of the Bank Of Eng.
land there were none but real banks in the
world, and we think very few intelligent men
believed that the institution would issue obi
cations to pay money on demand without money
to pay them with, and maintain its credit, or
even it's existence, for any considerable length
of time. This was new feature Of finance in
Europe, devised by the most inveterate specu-
lator at that time, Scotchman-William Pat.
terson-whose next scheme, the colonization OF
Darien, ended in utter ruin, sacrificing the lives
of nearly the whole colony in pestilential
climate, and leaving him neglected bankrupt.
But the Darien expedition, compared with the
Bank of England, in its damaging consequences
to society and the world, was feabite to
bullet in the Chicago Tribune, 9Th.
In 1874, when the charter of the Bank Of
England expired, Sir Robert Peel designed to
take from it forever the power to issue notes.
He had seen how England had been worsted in
the contest with France in manufactures,
France doing her business on metallic cur
rency, or, using paper, using none that had not
the hard dollars behind it. He was over.per.
suaded to continue the issue power in the bank,
but he limited it to an issue Of eighteen million
pounds sterling. For every pound issued be-
yond that amount, the bank is required to have
specie in its vaults, pound for pound. This re-
striction has been practically nulli6ed by q
practice Of the English cabinet, who, whenever
trouble sets in caused by over.trading and too
reckless gambling, suspend by an Order in
Council the restriction clause, and opening the
food gates of paper, save the traders and gam
blers by practically repeating the wise provi.
sion of Sir Robert Peel. So in this country, the
currency. .mongers and gamblers are saved from
the fruits of their avaricious over,speculating,
either by corrupt Legislators or by facile judges.
In New York city, in 1857, when the city
banks, which are perhaps the best conducted
on the whole Of any in the country, were about
to be driven into bankruptcy, the judges of the
courts elected by loafers in New York city,
who, with his brother, is largely interested in
the Chemical Bank, at their head, and by undig.
ni6ed prejudicial action, saved the banks from
the consequences of the over.trading which
they had fostered. ...
1t would be difficult to estimate Of how many
millions Of money the people of this country,
especially in the Western States, are annually
swindled through the issues Of those banks
which entirely collapse, and Of those whose
circulation is only redeemed at discount
But the thing goes on. The currency mongers
let their bank fail when its circulation has
grown large enough to pay profit TO fraud.
Then, humming merry tune they set up q
new bank under the general law" or buy char
ter through the Legislature, and 20 on cheating
and to cheat 1t is amusing how much people
love to be cheated

B'tckhannon, July s.--A courier has arrived
from Webster, who reports that four companies
of the nineteenth Ohio regiment, at Glenville,
about forty miles distant TO the southwest, are
besieged by picket regiment Of Virgnians
and fifteen hundred militia, under o. Jennings
Wise. Col. Tyler, of the seventh regiment, has
marched to their relief from Weston, and the
tenth regiment, Col. Lytle, has just gone for
ward to their rescue from this place.
Mr.. Van Wrinkle, of Parkersburg, who ar
rived in this city Monday night, reports that on
Friday a force of seven hundred secession
troops, with o. Jennings Wise at their head,
were driven out of Ripley jackson county,
and driven back TO Charleston.

as hostages for the safety Of the Union men.
The twenty first Ohio regiment, under Colonel
Norton, which crossed to Rsvenswood on the
I'd and Sd instant, is operating still further to
hold the enemy in check. ss.Ss II. Z
These detached movements Of the enemy in
Western Virginia. although involving individ'
uals in losses and distresses very much to be
regretted, can have no influence upon the gene.
raj fate Of the war. They will come to an end
with that decisive overthrow of the enemy in
Eastern Virginia, which General Scott is pre-
pairing, perhaps too slowly, but still with IRE,
sistible certainty. ...........
The national Republican., 1861-07-10

WESTERN VIRGINIA.-The delays which have
been believed to be necessary in advancing
into Eastern Virginia, and in taking posses
sion of the Valley of Virginia, have enabled
the Richmond csbal to send forces enough
over the Alleghanies, under Wise, Garnett, and
others, to involve considerable portions of
Western Virginia in the caamities Of civil
war. ..
Advices from Gsllipolis (Ohio,J to the 4th
instant, state that considerable numbers of
Union men from the adjacent portions Of
Virginia are taking refuge in that town, with
such Of their movable property as they could
bring away.
In the meantime, the national troops are not
idle. As already noticed, they have taken and
brought into Ohio, from the Kauawha valley,

The ESENY's FoRcE-An estimate OF the
enemy's force in Virginia, drawn from other
States, is published in the Northern papers, as
based upon respectable and reliable asthor'-
ty." The total figure is $1,000.
In this estimate, Tennessee is put down for
three regiments. No account has ever been
given of the marching of more than one Ten.
nessee regiment into Virginia. In taking the
vote upon ratifying the ordinance Of secession
the Tennessee soldiers in camp were permitted
to vote. The number of votes reported from
those soldiers in Virginia, was little more
than six hundred, or the number to be ex
pected from one regiment. With East Ten
nessee to be looked after, aud with Memphis tc
be protected from invasion, it is not at all prob
able that Tennessee either has sent, or will
send, more than one regiment into Virginia.
This estimate includes five Arkansas regi
ments, which is an out and out fabrication
with nothing whatever to base it upon. There
is not q single Arkansas company in Virginia
and never has been. Col. Hindman started
with battalion, without shoes and withou,
blankets, and proceeded as far as Corinth, Mis-
sissippi, but was long ago ordered back to de-
fend his own State from the abolitionists o
Kansas. There are Louisiana troops who have
been in Western Arkansas for many weeks
Arkansas is not furnishing troops to the South
ern Contederacy, but is drawing upon the Con
federacy for men to assist in defending her
own frontiers.
1t is by exaggerations and falsehoods like
these, that the mischievous idea of a large hos.
tile force in Virginia has been kept up. There
is no foundation for it.
1t is not best to underrate the strength Of an
enemy. Neither is it best to overrate it.

~ The New York Euening Post, in syn.
opsis of facts and views obtained from long
resident of the South, says that its "informant
thinks if the North could make known to the
South, in some unmistaksble way, that it does
not make war to abolish slavery, the war might
be considered as almost over" A much better
way, in our judgment, to secure peace, is to let
the shareholders know that we do mean to abol.
ish slavery in preference to yielding the Union,
and that the abolition of slavery is the certain
result of protracted war. 1t is no time for
coaxing assurances to the slave power.

~ We notice the following among the
items of intelligence in Baltimore paper of
yesterday:
"a fine house and barn, situated at Falling
Waters, and owned by John Cunningham, was
burned to the ground on Friday last. 1t was
probably fred by some of his Union neigh
bors, whom he offended by efforts to oppress
them, when the secessionists were in power
there"
All accounts from the vicinity Of General
Pattersons invading force represent that there
has been considerable destruction of private
property. As the force advances, it is followed
by the Union men, who had been driven of,
and are now returning, with the opportunity
and disposition to revenge the terrible wrongs
of which they have been the victims. The
commanders Of the national forces will, Of
course, do all they can to restrain acts of pri.
vate vengeance, but it will be impossible to do
it entirely. No passions are SO fierce as those
Of civil war, in which neighbors are arrayed
against each other. The alternate victories Of
parties to such wars over each other have been
signalized, in all ages and countries, by the
most inercilsss retalistions.
