The Presidents Message.

Speaking of President Lincoln's Mes
sage, the New York World-an indepen-
dent newspaper-says
1t is calculated to set at rest all appre-
hensions-if, indeed, any have ever been
honestly entertained-thatth the President
would ever allow this struggle to be
brought to pusillanimous close by an ig-
noble compromise with the traitors. True,
there is not in the Message any of that
spurious energy which consists in the pi-
ling up of vehement expressions for the
President is perfectly self-poised, and
reasons throughout the document in that
easy, familiar, common-sense way which
implies the consciousness of a strong ma
ture that he will be found equal to his
duties But with this absence of any
straining to appear resolute there is suffi-
cient evidence that having "put his foot
down firmly" he will keep it down. The
strong things in the Message are all the
more impressive from the simplicity and
absence of buster with which they are
expressed. The main recommendation
which President Lincoln offers to Con-
gress 'for the purpose of making this
contest short and decisive oue," speaks
very decisively for the energy with which
he desires tie war to be prosecuted. When
he asks for at least four hundred thousand
NOR, ooJ fo,,r hmm dra6 millions of doflorS
he ind icates so clearly his sense Of impor-
tance of crushing the rebellion by an over
whelming exertion of force as to dispense
him from using toward the rebels the Ian
guage of strong menace. 1t BELTS the
dignity of great nation and a strong
government to let its deeds prove to the
world the energy OF its determination -
When we put in the field an army as large
as that of France, the most military nation
Of Europe, although France has thirty-six
millions of inhabitants and the free states
of the Union on y twenty millions, neither
our own people nor foreign nations will
need any assistance in drawing correct
inferences as to the vlgor with which the
government intends to follow up the re-
bellion. President Lincoln, to prove the
possibility of raising and maintaining so
large All army as he asks for, states that
the four hundred thousand men he wants
make only one-tenth of the citizens of the
tree-states capable of military service,
while the four hundred millions of dollars
are only one twenty-third part of these
states. The interests Of freedom, of com
merce, and of good government alike de-
mand that this war shall be short and if
the Presidents recommendations are adop-
ted by Congress, the earnest wishes
Of the people in this respect viii be full
met.

EotteriEg Confidence of the
Rebels.

The two main considerations by which
the secession leaders III the gulf states
were emboldencd to embark III their hSZ
ardous experiment were the expectation
of strong democratic support ia the
North. especially In the great commercial
CITY of New York, and the expectation OF
constraining England and other European
powers through their need of the chief
southern staple, to give the Confederate
States Immediate recognition and coun-
teuance. Both these expectations have
proved delusive; and the result must have
given a great shock to the confidence with
which the insurgents entered on the re-
bellion. The Charleston Mercury which
was the head organ Of this gigantic treas
on during the whole of its inception and
early developments, takes gloomy and
discouraging view of the result ofsecession
diplomacy abroad. Speaking Of the re-
fusal of the British government to allow
the southern privateers to bring prizes
into British ports, the Kcrcaoy says:
1--WE are only surprised that any of the
commissioners have remained day IN
London after this order was issued. This
is an attack of quasi hostility which it
appears to US. ought to have arrested all
confidence with British authorities. 1t
was well known that, while Great Britain
has the greatest interest in the indepen-
dence of the Confederate States, there is
an element of anti-slavery fanaticism which
would, in all likelihood, paralyze her coun-
sells in our favor"
The lcrcny thinks the confederate
commissioners have blundered in not
- l,rr
the offer of low duties, to compensate them
for the risk of hostile complications with
the United States, and puts forward the
following interrosatory and opinion
Have our commissioners been empow-
cred to offer to France and England a
treaty guaranteeing for a number of years
low duties on their manufactured commo-
dties imported into the Confederate States?
We fear not for, if they had been en-
powered to make such treaties, we are
satisfied that they might before this have
returned home, with their mission COM
pletely successful, aud the war on our
frontier, on the part of the United States
reduced to weak absurdity."
These iugubrious confessions of the
utter failure of the mission of Messrs.
MANN, YANCEY & Co., correspond with
the statements in President LINCOLN S
Message that, notwithstanding some pre-
vious apprehensious to the contrary, the
disposition of the foreign powers toward
the United States is most friendly. This
must be the heaviest disappointment the
secessionists could encounter, as they had
| ccntered all their hopes of ultimate sue
cess in the aid of England and France
Even in confcssing that the mission of
YANCEY and his coadjutors is failure
the 4Heycury coufesses the importance it
attached to it by saying that, If it had
been completely successful, the war, on
the part of the United States, would be
reduced to weak absurdity."

arrived up from Aequla Greek at hall past
six o'clock a. IN. to day, having been cruls-
iny at night up and down between that
point and the mouth Of the river, preven-
ting communication between lower Mary
land and Virginia The service Is active,
arduous, and dangerous. On Sunday at
noon the Freeborn was at Acquia Greek,
with the Resolute, Pawnee and Pocha-
hontas Two large Oil casks were discov-
cred floating down towards the fleet with
ebb tide when within quarter OF mile
small boat was sent from the Pawnee to
reconnoitre The small boat discovered
that they were internal machines. One
struck the rudder of the Resolute, and
became detached from its body and sunk !;
the ether carcened over, and the fuse was
put. out by dipping In the water. The
latter was hauled on board the Pawnee !;
it had cylinder made OF boiler iron, i've
feet long, and eighteen inches in diameter,
filled with all sorts of destructive elements
designed to blow the Potomac squadron
to atoms The machine weighed about
four hundred pounds, connecting the cyl
inder which was full of coil of slow match
which was an India rubber coated fuse
The machine looks devilish. The Free
born brought it up to the Navy yard,
where it attracts great attention, thousands
having visited it.
BATTLE AT WESTERN VIRGINIA.
ROARING Run, Va, July PA bat
tie was fought yesterday afternoon, at
Rich Mountain, two miles east of this
place, where the enemy numbering about
two thousand, in. command OF Col. Pegraw,
were strongly entrenched. About three
O'Clock in the morning, Gen. Rosencrantz,
with a portion of the Eighth, Tenth, and
Thirteenth Indiana, and Nineteenth Ohio
Regiment, left this place, and cutting a
road through the woods, succeeded in sur
rounding the enemy about three o'clock III
the afternoon y desperate fight imme-
| diately ensued, lasting about an hour and
a half, resulting in the loss of sixty of the
! enemy killed, and large number wound
ed and taken prisoners. They retreated
precipitately, leaving behind six cannon,
a large number of horses, wagons, camp,
equippage, &c. The loss on our side is
about twenty killed and forty wounded.

THE CoNET.-Lieut. G;llies su,.or;,

THE CoMET.-Lieut Gillies, superin-
tendent of the Washington Naval Obser-
vatory says the comet was first observed
there on the 30th ult., when it was re-
garded as an auroral beam. On the 2d
its tail extended to distance of eighty or
eighty-fve degrees. Prof Bond, of the
Cambridge University, pronounces this
comet to be different from that of 1864
and 1856, or any other whose return has
been anticipated. Its train, he says, ex-
tends over 106 degrees. It's name is,
therefore, yet to given. Menwhile, his
cometship is moving tail foremost be-
tween the Great and Little Bear con-
stellations, with prodgious velocity
