The Burlington weekly hawk-eye. [volume] (Burlington [Iowa]) 1860-1876, 1861-11-09

Conversation with gentleman recently from
Washington leads US to conclude that there are
two parties in the administration, one of which
wants battle and victory, opposite Washing
ton, as the speediest means of putting down the
rebcllion---a battle which Mcclellan is ready and
anxious to fight, and victory which he feels
certain he Can win--while the other wants no
battle, feeling certain that it would damage the
prospects Of the U.ion, whether we win or lose
the day. The latter believe that If no battle 10
fought, negotiations will be instituted while the
armies are in winter quarters, which will result
in peace Gen, Scott is understood to be for
the inaction party, and Gen. Mcclellan is held
in check. The impression is that the peaceable
men will be wors.ed, and that Gen. Mcclellan
will have chance to use his splendid army, and
try his luck. We 60 for Mcclellan, and 90 does
the country, and it only needs to be known who
is holding him back, to bring upon him the cen:
sure of nine out of every ten Northern men,
Springfield Republican.
REBEL FUSps IN ENGLAND. The London cor
| respondent OF the N. York Times estimates that
the Confederate loan is at least t15, OOO, 900 in
England, in bank and cotton balances and pri.
vate funds WHICH they are spending around quite
literally TO operate on public opinion. Their
purchases OF arms and munitions are enormous,
| a ID in Birmingham alone amounts to $780, 600
| q month. The steamers Bermuda and Finegal
we're each cited out at an expense of not less
than 800 ,O0o, and the former has run the block
| AIDE, while the latter is at sea. Other vessels are
| being fitted out, and the activity and audacity
| Of the Rebels. and the encouragement they re-
ceive among Englishmen, troubles the loyal
Americans excessively.
THE ORLEANS PRINCES. The rage with which
some of the semi-oficial English papers-above
| all, the London Times and the London Morning
Post-greetcd the news that the two Represen-
tives Of the House of Orleans had entered the
| National Army, ami the swollen stream Of vitu-
peration poured on them, as well as on the
American people, by those organs of envy, low
hatred, and prejudice, prove that, whatever 10
undetermined in England, in France, and on the
whole European Continent, from the Tagus 70
the Wolga, unites to applaud the deed Of the
two brothers Phillip and Charles DOrleans
offered their virgin swords to the cause OF hu-
msnity, Of l!helty, of progress, Of civilization
swords never unsbeathed in any cause Of vio-
lence or oppression, or Of personal, low inter-
ests; swords unnotched by any curse, unstained
by the tear Of any victim, hitherto unsulied by
the feeblest b! cath of untrue aspirations. Tried
in the instructive school of misfortune, these
two brothers ,iaw lay upon the altar Of our
cluse yonu. nv. which are as Untainted by any
official sill as by any social blemiS II there
is any justice in history, this, their first step In
life, pure and dsinterested in its motives, noble
and generous in its aim, will illuminate their e.
reer through Whatever troubles pitiless destiny
may drive them.-[Tribune.
