More Trouble For Abe.

We are in possession Of information
which authorizes the belief that, unless
the Black Republican government takes
decided steps to terminate the war and
recognize the independence of the South
ern Confederacy, Southern Illinois, South
ern New York, New Jersey, and Della
ware will revolt and refuse further sup
port or Identification with it. In the re-
gions named, opposition to the war is be-
coming more formidable every hour, and
unless brought to close within the next
sixty days, all the force and means Abe
can command will not be able to hold
the Free States together.

Reported Fight.

The Fredrickburg Herald of Friday
evening last, says:i
We have a report of q fight at Matthias
Point, last night, which we give without
vouching for its accuracy.
1t is stated that a party of the Federal
force landed from one or more vessels,
with sand bags, apparently for the pur-
pose OF putting up some defences.
After landing they were attacked by
the Sparta Guards and Carolina Grays,
and repulsed. We are informed that 6
of the Federal troops were killed, some
IL or IA drowned, and that from Is to 90
had taken to the woods, where they were
lodging about like scared partridges.
The only DANCE ON our side is said TO
be flesh wound on the cheek of one of
our men.
The guns In the vessels were not fred
lest their own men might be Killed.

The Recognition Of the Confederate
States by Great Britain and France.
The fact that the leading powers Of
Europe are dispatching their fleets 70
America, snd that Great Britain has Or
dered three or four full regiments to
Montreal and Quebec, in Canada, is be-
ginning TO fully arouse the fears Of the
North. That section, by its control Of
the telegraph, and the foreign news, has
thus far succeeded in suppressing the
truth in regard to the position of Eng
land and France, but the following ex-
tracts from the Paris correspondence OF
the Independence Beige are TO the point

Europe from theSouthern Secede States.

isfied with his trip to London. can
now give you some details. Mr.. Rost has
obtained from Lord Palmerston the for
NAL promise of Their recognition Of the
Southern States at a period more or less re-
mote. Perhaps the English Minister had,
as a by-view, the intention of waiting to see
whether the Seeded States will be able to
resist the efforts Of which those of the
North are going to attempt against them.
According TO the impression brought
away by Mr.. Rost, there was no under
standing between France and England
in regard to simultaneous recognition
Of the Southern States. But 1t appears
that the recognition will be made separ-
ately by these two powers. IL is foreseen
that this determination of the English
Government would excite lively irrita-
ton in the Northern States. do not
know whether it is supposed that that
irritation will go SO far as declaration of
war against England by those States
But am pretty positive that the British
Government is preparing for any emer-
gency. The English forces in Canada
and Nova Scotia are being largely in.

The Camp Cole Fight,

the Federal loss was very heavy:

Cole Camp in time to assist in taking care

within mile of it. He saw the bodies
Of five of the State troops who had been
killed, and also three who had been

shot through the thighs, will die, if not
already dead. This was the extent of the
loss on that side. Accounts as to the
number killed of the Home Guard differ,
but none of them place it at less than
thirty-nine, and some as high as sixty

The people Of Maryland have at last
been compelled 10 drain to its bitter dregs
the cup Of humiliation which conquerors

pie. Their State was once the very sane
tuary of freedom-and nowi her liberties

overthrown; and her citiz ms hold prop
erty and life at the sufferance Of the
Northern legions which have swarmed
across her border. The sullen drums of
the invaders reverbsrats among their
hills; their bugles may DO heard along

down defantiy upon her cities. Mary

From The W, st UnIou Republican Era.
The Fusion Movement.

If the Republican platform no long
or suits any who may have hitherto
supported it, the way is open TO pass
into the ranks of either Of the other
parties. The war has not changed
the issues, if it has the method of
their settlement. The policy of the
party is still living one and none
the less so for the attempt to bury it
and the Government, which for a
while it will direct, in common
grave. Concern for the Government
may for season divert mems thoughts
from the policy which has provoked
the assault upon the Government it
self. But does the party consent, af-
ter all, to be bullied or bulleted out Of
its principles? If not, why now re-
treat ? for Fusion will be so constru-
cd, and will have much the same eff
feet Of an avowed retreat.
Will not the Democrat, elected by
Fusion ticket, interpret his cleo
ton as an acceptance Of Democratic
doctrines by his supporters Will
he not use the fact to force the Fcdc-
raj Government into Democratic mea-
sures? Will it not dishcartcn those
who are struggling to check the
blightlng curse Of slavery and secure
our broad territories TO free labor and
the blessings Of true civilization :?
What other effect can it have? Place
in our State Legislature a majority of
Democrats, and how soon will the re-
port go forth to the world that Iowa,
on account of the bad working of the
Republican policy, has become Demo
crotic And then what uses would
be made of such an opportunity in re-
districting the State Though as a
whole the State has large Rcpubli-
can majority, yet such is the DISPOSE
ton of the majorities of each party,
that, while the Republicans arc fairly
entitled to four of the five Congress
sional districts into which the State is
to be divided, Democratic Legisla-
ture, by skiIful laying off of these
districts, will secure three if not four
of them for Democracy. Then may
happen at any time in our own State
what took place in Illinois when Doug
las was last elected to the L. S. Sem
ate with a popular majority against
him, and for all Federal purposes a
Republican State will be given to De-
mOcracy

An armed steamer, the keystone
State, left New York a few days
since to convoy the Northern Light
from Aspinwall with over $4,000, 900
This duty performed the vessel is te
cruise for the privateer Sumptcr till
she finds and captures her.
The brig Costa Rica, had arrived
from Aspinwall, at New York, and
says she spoke the brig Cuba, of
cape Antonio which reported she had
been prize to the privateer Sumpter,
but had got away, by disarming the
prize crew, and had put them in irons.
Two of them were put on board the
Costa Rica, and brought to New York.
The privateersmen say they were
obliged to ship, or starve, and that a
number of the Sumpter men are
Northerners, and will escape on the
best opportunity. They say that the
officers are a desperate set, and will
blow up the vessel, rather than be
captured. Two men and midship-
man of the prize crew remained
aboard the Cuba.

chiefly of South Carolnians, fred a

large quantity Of army stores and

spatches Indicate that it is Gen. Nc.
DoweIl's purpose to push his column
towards Masassas Gap instead Of the
Junction, for the purpose of cutting
of Gen. Johnston, who is retreating
from Winchester, though it is fcare d
that johnson has already effected q
junction with Bcauregard. Hence
forth the news of each day will be as
eagerly sought for as though the fate
of the Republic depended on the
smallest event. That success, com.
plctc and triumphant, will crown the
movement upon Richmond, we cannot
doubt. No less than ll5, 900 soldiers
arc now convcrging upon the rebel
capital-53,0O0 under Gen. Mcdowell,
$4,000 under Gen. Mcclellan, and
so, 600 under Gen. Patterson. And
when MaGrudcr at Yorktown finds
himself i'll danger, as he must ere
long, he will retreat and unlock the
10000 men under Gen. Butler at Fort
Monroe, who will cooperate in the as.
sault on the reasonable den. 1t is
probable that Gen. Mcclellan will
cross the Alleghanics, and enter the
Shenandoah valley in a southeastcrly
direction, and march upon Stauntor
and Charlottesville, that being his
shortest route to Richmond Chicago

Certain parties at Des Moincs, un-
der the lead Of Judge McIicnry, who
is thrust forward as cloak, acting in
concert with Stilson Hutch;ns, and his
coadjutors, have called Union State
Convention to be held in Des Moines
the day following the Mahonv State
Convention. The Des Moines journal
unwittingly diyulges the object of this
" Union" movement as follows:
"The conservative Union men of
the State have called their convention
on the Goth, for the purpose Of
comforting in regard to nominations.
If there is disposition among the
conservative men of the State to unite
upon ticket and wipe out Republi-
canism, this is a suitable occasion to
accomplish it. We hope to see both
conventions well attended, aud as the
term of the Democratic State Commit
tee will then expire, let a new one be
appointed who can act together unan-
imously, and not disgrace the party
by personal jealousies and chickering's"
To "wipe out Republicanism and
what then? Why, reinstate Hutch
ins, Mahony, and the Democratic par
ty! Wouldn't this be supporting the
Government in the present crisis with
a vengeance Can any Republican
be green enough to be caught in that
trap?

Fusion in Clayton County.

In GuttenburS the other day, at q
meeting called to elect delegates to
attend Fusion County Convention,
the following reolutions were passed
and the meeting adjourned without
choosing any delegates
LIST. Resolved, That we do not acknowledge
any sound reason why we should give up our
party organization.
Cd. That, by abandoning our party prnci-
pies under the present circumstances, we
should do just what is mostly desired by the
W licked Southern rebellion.
Sd. That it means nothing else but dis.
banding of the Republican party.
ith. That, Us far us we understand history,
party never has behcaded itself voluntarily
and willfully.
After the meeting adjourned, Judge
Price called another meeting, and sue.
ceeded in pcrsuading few Democrats
to attend, who elected seven Demo.
Gratis and five Republicans as dele
gates to the Union Convention at e.
kader on the 22d of August. 1t is
said that not one Of the Republicans
elected, will serve, except Judge Price
himself.
