THE SITUATION.

An incident which may provo Of some impor-
lance, and is at least invested with considerable
interest, occurred at Arlington yesterday. Major
Taylor Of New Orleans, arrived at the camp of
the Eighth New York regiment. Colonel Lyons,
from Manassas Junction, under a flag of truce.
He brought dispatches from Jefferson Davis to
President Lincoln, and was forwarded by order
Of General Scott to the headquarters at
Washington. What the nature of the document
was of course has not transpired, but the
greatest anxiety EXISTS in Washington about the
affair. 1t was thought tlat the despatch arose
out of the visit of Mr.. May, member of Congress
from Baltimore, to Richmond, where he recently
proceeded on some mysterious mission under Q
paes from the President.
Arrangements have been made by the Navy
Department to send transports weekly from Wash
ington to the Southern blockadipg squadron with
supplies of fresh provisions, which will render the
position of the crew more comfortable and healthy
during the hot season.
General Patterson has been reinforced by the
arrival of Major Doubleday's battery and the Rhode
Island battery at Martinsburg, where Patterson is
now encamped. Large numbers of troops from
Washington, en- route to the same point passed
through Baltimore on Sunday night, and were ex
pected to cross the Potomac at W1iamsport
yesterday. General Johnston, who, it is said,
has been reinforced by 1000 men, is at
Bunker Hill only few miles distant from Gene
raj Pattersons headquarters, with body Of l6 900
rebels. 1t is reported that he has % 900 men and
twenty-five pieces Of cannon between that and
Winchester. No movement on either side has
taken place in this direction, but few skirmishes
between the pickets have recently occurred there
and near Lauel Hill, near which place General
McClellaa's troops are. 1t was believed in Wash
ingtou. however, that General Scott is in hourly
expectation of battle between the two armies.
Intelligence reached US last night from Buckhan.
non in Western Virginia, that four companies Of
the Nihteenth Ohio regiment had been surrounded
al Gleuville, point about forty miles to the
southwest of Buckhannon, by picked regiment
Of virginians and 500 other troops, command
cd by o. Jennings Wise, and that Colonel Tyler,
of the Seventh Ohio had advanced from Weston,
and Col. Lyte, Of the Tenth Ohio regiment, from
Buckhannon, to assist them.

importan. one and, before accepting it, Gen.
Pierce owed it to the country, as we'll as to his

THE CoNFxDgRATa STATES EN A BAD Way
private letter, dated New Orleans, May 80,
which has appeared ia the London DAILY
Ne,cs. We attach considerable Importance
to this, both from the fact Of it's being
purely unofficial and because it is en-
tirely corroborative of the letter of Mr..
Russell to the London Times from the same
locality. The condition Of anarchy and wretch.
edness prevailing in Louisiana is described as
miserable in the extreme. Tbs people are al.
ready suffering from the want Of provisions,
and the troops, from lack Of proper clothing
and we'll organized commissariat and medical
staff, are quite unfit for active service. Indeed
more deplorable picture of affairs in the
Southern country it would be hard to paint.
Yet we have no reason to suppose that any.
thing has been exaggerated in the accounts
either of Mr.. Russell or the correspondent in
question. This distressing state of the South
may we'll give rise to the most dreadful fears for
the future. 81 leave you to Judge" says the
writer we quote, "of the chances in favor of
the North, and will complete my attempt at
depicting our condition by stating that trade
and commerce are at a stand still, and the cir.
culation of money is NIL" If this is the con-
dition of things now, what Is it likely to be
some months hence, if the leaders of the rebel
confederacy are suicidal enough to persevere
in this war against the Unlons We apprshend
that like the prodigal son, they will, sooner or
later, find it TO their interest to return to the
fold from which they have wandered. But if
in their blindness they remain obdurats we

presence Of powerful army could save it. he
called for this support and. Oh If created by the
will Of a powerful magician, quarter Of
million of armed men sprang up from the
earth at his cal.
Now comes the question concerning these
Union armies thus evoked, and at this day ex-
ceeding in numbers three hundred thousand
men of what political materials are they COM
posed? A large majority of these Union volun-
teers, thus rallied at the call of Abraham Lin
coin, are men Of the old Jackson democratic
faith, inspired by that patriotic Jacksonian
idea that "the Union must and shall be pre-
served" And this grand idea, supersedipg all
others, has become the platform, the policy and
the guiding star of Mr. Lincoln's administration.
This is the true Interpretation of his Message
1t means that the republican party and it's Sec
tional platform of 1860 have ceased to exist;
that Mr.. Lineolns administration has been COM
PEELED to fall back upon the old Jacksonian
democratic platform of 1928 to uphold the
government, and that the political Union ele.
ments Of the country, thus forming under this
administration, may build up the dominant
party Of the future.
Let our old Jacksonian democracy profit
from these important Developments, and, aban-
doning the puerile and obsolete rubbish and
clsptrap Of the Albany Regency and Tam
many and Mozart halls avail themselves of
this golden occasion, with the aid of our patri-
otto President, to revive the staunch old Union
party Of Jackson as the ruling party Of the
country. and they will realize our reading of
MIR. Lincola's Message.

Plain Talk

The regular New York correspondent Of
the London Times thus writes, under date
of August 18th, after giving the English
public plan and forciblo account of what
the secretary Of the treasury had just &C
oomplished in this city
He who thinks that this nation is to fall
to pieces because some of the slave culti-
waited provinces have arisen in formidable
rebellion, is mistaken. Whatever they are
or are not made to return to their allegi-
ance, whether the southern boundary Of
the republic is on the line of North Caro-
lima or the Gulf of Mexico whether the
Mississippi pours its yellow waters into ths
sea through banks owning the sway of the
United or the Confederate States-all o.
which is beyond the power of ordinary
vaticination--the great United North will
still remain more consolidated by this war,
purified by the trials it has endured and
made conscious to its strength.

NUMBER II.

The circulation of California gold through
out the North has vastly increased its re-
sources, and has multiplied hundredfo,d
the number Of capitalists. We have to
add to that steady balance of foreign
trade in favor OF this country for several
months, bringing coin here and enriching
the country, And although the CONNER
cial part Of the country has suffered Sc
verely from the non-payment of Western
and Southern debts, and the confseation
of Southern investments, yet, in striking
tie balance, after making every allowance
for these causes, the country will be found
to be be largely the gamer since 1850, and
abundantly able to meet the present and
prospective wants for carrying on the war.
1t is no longer depending on foreign capital
for extraordinary expenditure,

An Irighman in and out Of Trouble

a son of the Emerald Island" " but net
himself greer, was taken Up. (for be was at
TIE time do,0n) near a rebel cncampmeat,
not far from the Manassas Junction. 10 a
word, Pat was taking a quiet nap in the
shade, and was reused from his slumber By
a scouting party. Ho wore no special uni
form of either army, but looked moro Ike
SPY than an alligator, and on this was
arrested.
"Who are you? what is your name :?
and where are you from? p were the first
questions put TO him by the armed party.
Pat rubbed his eyes, scratched his head,
and answered, by me faith, gintlamen,
them is ugly questions to answer aByhow,
and before answer any o them, I'd be
afther akin ye,by yer lave, the same thing !"
"Well ~ said the leader, eve are Of
Scott's army, and belong to Washington"
"All right" said Pat, Il know'd yo
was gintlsmen. for I am that same. Long
life to Gen. Scott"
sAha," replied the scout, "now you
rascal, you are prisoner" and seized him
by the shoulder, ''How is that?" inquir-
ed Pat, 'sare we not friends ?" No :" was
the answer, ''we belong to Gen. Beaure-
CARDS army" Then ye told ne lie,
me boys, ard thinking it might be SO,
told you anothcr-nsw tell me the truth,
and I'll tell you the truth too"
"Well-we belong to the State Of South

Pat, ''and to all the other States Of the
country, toe; and there I am tbinkin' I
bate the whole of ye. De yo think I would
come all the way from Ireland to belong TO
one State, when had right to belong to
the whole of EN-? This logic was rath-
stumper, but they took him up as before
said, and carried him in for further exam
nation.
It is pretty evident from this specimen,
that Pat needed no prompting in closer
examination, and bearing no evidence that
be was spy, they let him of, and the
more readily, as while he assured them he
was no ''politicianer, he persisted in
thinking, that any man was great fool to
belong to any one State when he has a

four States, "besides the Territories.
