The Bulls Run Affair in England,

BY the arrival of a steamer from En-
gland we get synopsis of RUssELL's let
ter 20 the London Times, giving his opin-
ion of the Bulls Run affair. He SAYS:
"The repulse of the Federals decided,
as it was, the battle, and it might have
had no serious effects whatever, beyond the
mere failure, which politically was of
greater consequence than it was in mis-
itary sense. The disgraceful conduct of
the troops, the retreat of their lines at
Centreville, seems to have ended in cow
ardly rout, a miserable causeless panic
| Such scandaIous behavior on the part of
soldiers l should have considered impossi-
| bic.
have never, even among camp follow
ers, seen the ike of it. If, in the present
state Of the troops the confederates were
to make march across the Potomac
above Washington, the capital might fall
into their hands. Delay may place that
event out of the range of the rebels.
The North will no doubt recover from
the shock. Hitherto she has only said 90
and fight for the Union. The South has
exclaimed g let US fight for our rights"
The North must put her best men into the
field, or she will inevitably fail before the
energy, personal hatred, aud superior fight
ING powers of her antagonist"

The Rebels Designs on Washington

Forney writes to the Philadelphia Press
from Washington as follows:
A theory has been started within the
last two days, accredited to Gen. Scott,
that the forces of the traitors in Virginia
are being organized into three or four di>
visions, each of which is to be directed to
particular point, so as to form a comb
ned and simultaneous attack on the city of
Washington. Thus we are to be assailed
from the Maryland side and the Virginia
side. A feint will be made upon Airing
ton Heights, 80 as to occupy our troops
there entrenched, while the enemy rushes
IN upon us from the other side of George,
town, and from the borders of Maryland
on the north. The secresy Of the Confed-
crates renders it extremely difficult to an
ticipate their movements 1t is certain
that some weight is attached to this tbeo-
ry In high quarters. Fortunately, howev-
er, the reticence Of Gen. Mcclellan is
quite equal to that of his former friend,
Beauregard, and his vigilance could not
be exceled.

JET. Davis and His Army.

Accouns from jeff. Davis continue to
be received at Baltimore. In one of his
last lettershe said they were so preparing
that immediately after the next repulse
they woud advance on Maryland. With
this purpoe they are now fortifying Mat
thias Poin, the most dangerous peninsula
on the Potomac, and one of the points of
communication by way Of Port Tobacco,
Benedict, and Leonard, in st. Charles and
st. Mary's counties, Maryland, with the
Secessionis.s of Baltimore. If Matthias
Point is allowed to be fortified much lon
ger, it is sad, it will be impregnable, and
the Potomlc will be closed. Then ris-
ing in MARYLAND, and burning of bridges,
cut us off rom Washington; and all this
Davis promises his Baltimore friends shall
take place in fortnight.
The Washington letter writers, debar-
red by Gen. Mcclellan from detailing
army movements on cur side, are betaking
themselves to estimates Of the forces of
the enemy-but the groundwork for these
estimates is, necessarily, to great extent,
mere guess work. One writer sums up
the Confederate strength in Virginia alone

Gold from the New Orleans Mint.
A communication from j. Ross
Snowden, Director of the Philsdel-

of the Treasury, under date Of Feb-

mends that the coinage Of the New
Orleans Mint be declared no longer .
legal tender, inasmuch as The mint
has been seized 10y tho state author
tiles and is no longer federal insti-,
tuition. This important proposition
is set forth as follows: ....t. ..
"lt appears that the institution in
question is not conducting its ope-
rations III II lawful manner, and al.
though it ia still a branch OF the
mint OF the United States, (for no
action of the louisiana can legally

qnirrd 10y law, it has practically
ceased To he n branch Of this mint
The coinage OF that branch is designA.
ted by the letter O on the reverse eide
Of each piece. The coins struck in
IJ mary ARE legal coins OF the United
States; but As these pieces cannot b.
distinguished from others coined
since that time, having the date of
1861, the whole coinage of this ytsr
ought to he discredited by tie
government. The announcement

amendment TO the Const tuition. u he under
stood the Presidents true meaning, he was
with him. He believed he had put proper
construction on these parts OF the Inaugural.
He believed the President is going to live
up to il. He would not surrender this opin-
ion until there should be reason to change
It. The Union cannot be preserved by war,
cannot be maintained by blood. II can only
he done by peacesble means, and future diff
hculties can be prevented only by constitu.
tional amendments TO settle the slavery
question by express provisions. These two
remedies are clearly marked out by the
President in his Inaugural. He would ask
the administration to live up to the line Of
policy here indicated. So far from taking
any political advantage, he would commend
the act as one Of high patriotism, W while he
dissented from the President, and would
maintain his own opposition on all other
questions.
