WHAT is THOUGHT OF THE PRESIDENTS NE

day. The general impression is that it is
strong document. The GOODNESS with which
the President rolled the nigger up in a copy
of the act of August 6, 1861, entitled "An
act to confscate property used for insurrec.
tionary purposes" is greatly applauded. He
leaped the whole subject with the stride Of a
giant, and struck the question of capital and
labor, theme popular with the masses This
seems to be the popular verdict.

land, was presented to the Queen at Buck
ingham Palace, on the 10th inst, by Mr..
Dallas, who then delivered his letters of re-
call. All the statements made IN Parlia>
ment relative to our affairs of which re-.
port has yet reached us, all the actions of
the British government, and all the opinions
and speculations of the press, have been in
ignorance of the representations which MIR.
Adams is instructed to make, and it is
probable that these representations together
with the constant evidences of vigOr on the
part of our government, may produce con-
siderable change in the tone of official sen.
timent in respect to the war in which we
are engaged.

COMING OUT OF THE VAULTs-We learn
from the Dubuque papers that nearly all
the wheat purchased in that city for the
past few days has been paid for in gold.
The same is, to great extent, the case in
other river cities and towns. Even as far
in the interior as Rockford, H., we learn
from the Neacs. gold is making it's appear
ance to a considerable extent. The reason
of this is plain-the farmers have utterly
refused to take anything worth less than
goldfor their grain, which is as good as gold.

EDITORS APPEAL: l desire to DO the APPEAL
justice. An evening paper Of this date asserts
that the APPEAL was second-handed in is
publication Of President Davis message. In
reply, I will merely state facts. The message
was read to the Confederate Congress at noon
on Saturday, eight hours after the issue of the
APPEAL for that day. The telegraph commu-
nication between Memphis and Richmond is
not so direct or short as that between Rich
mond and Charleston. a glance at the map
wi { show to what extent Charleston is favored.
A dispatch passing from Memphis to Rich
mOnd is re written three times; between Rich
mond and Charleston not at all, and yet the
APPEALS issue Of Sunday morning contained
the message verbatim. 1 would also state, that
the message was transmitted the entire dis
lance ria Lynchburg, Chattanooga and Nash
vile, FOR the APPEAL exclusively, not another
paper on the route having made arrangements
to receive a copy. A TELEGRAPHER.

Southern Account CT the Battle at
BuiI Run.

From the Richmond Whis.l
TIE affair at Bull Run, on Thursday last,
was, If not { battle, e skirmish Of first rare
proportions. Judging by the results, it sur
passes any action Of the ~War-unlsss Great
Bethel beat it, Cf which We are ignorant, as
Butler has not found time We. to make a report
of the killed, wounded and missing. We hear
that the provost marshal, under whose super
vision the inteTmeDts took place, reports hav-
ing buried 983 Of the enemy This number Of
killed would argue 2000 wounded, and such,
reports from Alexandra represent to be the
case. The northern dispatche s speak Of this
as a minor fight and Gen. Mcdowell is re-
ported to have said to som distinguished
friend, that before be again advanced upon the
Confcderates, be should make a careful recon
noiscance OF their position,
We hear that we had no advantage Of posi-
ton, but that our guns were better handled
than theirs and therefore did one hundred times
the execution. Besides our infantry made a
bayonet charge upon the enemy, which swept
all before it. Two companies from this city,
one commanded BY Capt. Boggs, the other by
Capt. Dooley, were parties in that charge, and
emlnentiy distinguished themselves.
