Iea5" In a late editorial the New York Her. aid fears the effect of the great battle upon the English government. That government, says Bennett, has already shown its sympathy for the rebels, and may now break the blockade, or per. haps do something even more disastrous to the cause of the federal administration. In the ar. dor of it's enthusiasm and probably to influence the British government (') the Herald excaims "We have resources enough to drive every re bel in the sea, and defy or make war upon En gland at the same time."

Bsgo When we read the account which the republican letter writers give of the terrible flight ot our army from Bull Run towards Wash lngton, we can't help thinking how completely Jeff. Davlss army would have been run over and crushed out if it had been before our troons instead of behind them. For instance. if Davis fatal cavalry had all been in the track of Love. joy, the fat Congressman" or the swift-footed editor of the Times, and of all the flying civil ians, what would have become oft?
