get Of a score of sharp-shooters. presume
you will have strange rumors and stories OF
the battle. 1t was neither victory nor de-
feat. 1t was simple repulse. We were de-
ceived in the distance, the position and the
number we were to oppose. The mlsadven-
ture at the crossroads gave them the adj
vantage of reinforcements and preparation,
and when it became evident that it would
cost too much life TO carry the works, it was
prudently resolved to fall back, as we were
without ammunition for the cannon, and
await till better planned expedition should
give us heavier artillery. We came into
camp simply because we had nothing to eat
or drink, and no place to sleep, short Of here.
The Quarter Master sent to US when about
two miles from camp, barrel OF bread, do
of whiskey and some herrlngs. They were
acceptable. 1t is no boast but the plain
truth, to say that our troops acted with just
GOODNESS and courage,-they obeyed orders,
which is the highest praise that can be be-
slowed upon the common soldier. Colonel
Washbur1 was with his men III the hottest
OF the fight, and the Vermont and Massachu-
sets men were CALAMITY led by him on the
right and Major Whittemore on the left.

EUROPEAN TENDENCIES.

A private letter, dated Geneva, Switzer-
land, May 26th gives the following views OF
the tendenc y of opinion in France and Eng
land, on A nerican affairs:
There is one element of opinion in Eng
land, IN which an American can sympathize.
This is what thy call the radical, the true
Saxon liberal VEN. Its organ is the journal
h we spoken of one or twice, d" The Daily
News" Byinquiry. find that next to the
London Times, it has the largest circulation
of any Enklish paper. 1t is in principle as
far superior TO the Times. As the Tribune IS
to the Herald The Times represents the
superficialv educated or totally prejudiced
classes of English society that Is, it Is a cor
rect measure Of conceiteI John Ball. The
Daily News reflects the spirit of Cromwell,
and that element in which IS the SAVIOUR Of
the salt that has made and keeps England
what she u.s. 1t follows that all the editorials
of the Times are dictated by sefishness, or
written to please the English masses. Their
spirit is i All EngliShme1 are superior per-
sons; so good, that it would be difficult to
make them better But the News will tell
them, that a large proportion OF the English
born poor Ter classes are totally ignorant and
degraded. That the education, enighten-
ment, an "a consequent happiness Of New
England is as far in advance Of theirs, as
their is of the Neapoltans. From what |
have learn from intelligent Englishmen, and
Americans who have lived in England this Is
strictly true. The Times and that element
which it leads in England, are jealous above
all of Americans and America, and will do
everything possible TO embarrass our nation,
even to making open war in behalf of the
South, on some empty pretext, if the parties
are equally enough balanced to give the
least chance of success. On the other hand,
the Daily News and the class Of liberals
which it leads, acting on the principles of
liberty and generosity, denounces as emphat-
icaly the rebellion as the Tribune itself, and
hailed with a throb of delight worthy of a
Boston boy, the rising OF the North in behalf
of constitutional liberty.
While, most probably. as matters are, the
British Government will preserve a neutrality,
our states men might as well be preparing for
a war with Great Britain. Our navy should
be strengthened immensely and Immediately.
No other nation is able if inclined 10 inter
fere. Louis Nspoleon's organ favors openly
the Southern Confederacy, but all other lead
ing French papers oppose 1t, and. as ma
ton, the rench sympatlze as strongly with
US now, al in the days Of Lafayette. This is
partly from their natural love of liberty, and
partly because they consider US the rivals of
England, in commerce and control of the
sea They dislike the English as intensely
as ever. Napoleon, even # he wishes, will
be little apt to interfere directly or indirectly,
against the sympathies Of the nation.

GEN. SCOTT's PLAN REVEALED TO a
CoNGREssMAS-Wit reference to the plans
of the veteran Gen. Scott, and the period
within which he expects to finish the campaign
against the rebels, the Buffalo Express de-
clares that it has positive knowledge of an
interview between Hon. Schuyler Colfax and
Gen. Scott, sought by the former for the pur-
pose Of urging, as the unanimous desire of the
Northwest. a more vigorous prosecution Of
war measures. with overwhelming forces, to
render the decision OF the contest quick and
decisive. To assure Mr.. Coliax, and enable
him from personal knowledge to pacifv and
content the eager and impatient people whose
feelings he represented, General Scott laid
before him and fully explained the plans
which he had matured for the campaign Mr..
Colfax was astonished with the inevitable
certainty Of the results which the veteran
campaigner demonstrated before him, confess
ed, with reverence, his conviction that the
cause OF the Union was safe beyond peradven-
ture or possibility in the hands of Gen. Scott,
and went from his presence assured that the
people have only to wait with patience for
the inevitable triumph over treason and re-
beIlion whic thsy are so eager to cOnsum-
mate.

The Position of Maryland.

The Washington correspondent Of the

inst, telegrahs that journ al as follows:
Crittenden;s resolutions has been made the
special order for tomorrow. the Abolition
Senators Directing to vote being forced
upen it to-day.
They have hitherto regarded Maryland as
the break-wafer of the secession movement.
But Senator Kennedy told them to-day that
this was the last chance, and that if the Teso-
buttons were voted down, Maryland would
be ready, with her Southern sisters. to meet
the issue presented by the Abolitiouists.
This astonished them Preston King, of
New York, approached Kennedy after the
adjournment and asked him "what be
meant"
Kennedy replied that be meant what he
said-that il the Abolitionists voted down
Crittenden's resolutions, Maryland was ready
for civil war. A Black Republican Senate
rial caucus was Immediately called for to-
night.
And what Mr.. KENNEDY says of Mary eud
may also be said of Tennessee.

The Dismemberment of the Union

We translate the following letter, from the
Courier DIES Eats UIais, for the benefit of our
readers II is addressed to the editor of that
paper by an old officer of the French army,
and is not without its significance at the
present moment.
'.NEw YORK, 10th JAM, 1861.
"Mr. Editor-You were perfectly right
month ago, in recommending an appeal to
the people in order to terminate this question
of the south against the north; and doubt
less the Congress of the United States, after
month of harauguing, will recommend
this popular vote. 1t is high time that there
should be an end TO it ALL for our great mo-
del republic is about to become the laughing
stock of all the sovereigns of Europe.
Nevertheless, | have a hope that the Union
will stand, and that it will become stronger
than before. The United States, as they now
stand, are respected by all the nations OF the
earth, but if they were to divide themselves
into two or three considerations, then would
begin reclamations from all the Powers which
might think themselves entitled to make
them.
''As 1 saw the fall of the French empire in
1914 and 1915, and that each power regained
often more than it had lost, l can tell you
what would happen here in America, if the
United States should separate and find them
selves reduced to civil war. In the first place,
to ancient treaties; Spain would reclaim
Florida; England would appropriate Oregon
and several other States; Mexico, under En-
glish protection. would retake the territory
of New Mexico, Texas and California; and
England might perhaps keep California as
an indemnity for the subsidies furnished to
the Mexican government in this war against
the former United States
Now you will ask me how all these re-
sumptions could take place, and by what
right; this is very easy to explain. Ii is Lou
is Napoleon who would begin by q very SIM
pie and logical process OF reasoning; for ev-
cry one knows that Napoleon Ill. aims at
consolidating all that Napoleon /. had in
view with regard TO foreign policy. Now,
Napoleon /. in 1903. coded Louisiana to the
United States for the sum of five millions of
dollars, which the government of the United
States engaged to pay to the American mer-
chautsw hose goods and ships had been seized
during the wars of the French republic, from
1892 TO 1901. But as the United Stats have
not paid the aforesaid five millions, and as,
for more than forty years, We have seen
brought before Congress, session after session,
q French spoliation bill, which has never
been passed; therefore, as soon as the Union
shall be dissolved. those who claim this sum
will address Themselves to Louis Napoleon,
and have no doubt. considering bis charac-
ter, that he will pay their demands and re-
take Louisiana. England, who suspects
some such thing, has already ordered several
ships of war to the Cult of Mexico. See
how Providence, having such an instrument
as Louis Napoleon to work with, can bring
every body back TO harmony

South CARoLISA ExPoRTs.-The New York
Herald says:
The Charleston and New York steamers
are coming money at the present time by
carrying cotton, rice, &c, from Charleston
to New York for shipment to Europe. 1t
costs the owners of cotton, ii is said. as much
TO send it to New York as il would to send
it to Europe. and they are paying besides a
commission to the New York house to which
it is consigned IN TdnSitu. Still, in the pre-
sent condition OF affairs, the Charleston mer-
chants have no remedy. Even If they could
get ships out of their barbor with freight
OF cotton for Europe, bills drawn against
goods shipped in vessels without a regular
clearance could not he sold.

Southern Cenfederacy.
From The charlestop Mercury.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-Some Southern
men here are now canvassing the propriety
of the Conveuti0ns of the seeding States at
Montgomery adopting the form of the pre-
seat Federal Government, a whole. II is
urged by the advocates of this policy that
sbcn ali the Southern States are out, the
united South may claim to be the United
States and demand of European powers, re-
cognitiou a such. In this event, Washing
ton, of course, would belong to the South.
The object of this move is to patch up, as
soon as practicable. the old Union. and de-
feat a Southern Confederacy. Washington
politicians cannot give up their present
status.
