Jecu Prince GOrtchakOF is undoubtedly hint
ing at that distant corner of Northwestern
America which gives the Gar foothold on this
continent, and of which, "by the Convention of
1925, he was foolishly permitted to obtain pos
session." But this frozen bit of Russian terri
tory in America is SO remote and out Of the way
that it cannot constitute claim to Intervention.
Hence this English ministerial organ infers that
the Cars appeal touching this "balance Of
power" "is o mere diplomatic flourish; or, per-
haps, we should say, something like diplo-
matte falsehood, to represent that Russia and
the United States hold the extremities of the
two worlds"
This will suffice to exhibit the effect upon the
Cabinet of England of the honest and generous
letter of the Czar to cur government express
sive Of his wishes for the perpetuity of
our Union. He holds up our Union, in
conjunction with Russia, as a secure barrier
against the Unsuitable ambition Of England
touching the "balance OF power on this CONT
mont; and Lord Palmerston comprehends the
full import of this view of the subject Re-
verting to the late Russian war. he discovers
the elements of strong alliance between the
United States and Russia because it is founded
upon their common interests of antagonism to the
monopolizing pretensons of England in both
hemispheres. The views of the Gar upon this
matter may be denounced, as they are, by English
official journals as "a studied insult to their
country; but they are only the more acceptable
and valuable to us on this account. And where
fore? Because of the indecent haste with which
the British Cabinet intericrcd to assist our
Southern rebels in their unholy enterprise to
give to England tho "balance of power" on this
continent, through the disruption Of our power
full Union into two, three or half dozen petty
and contemplate independencies.
With our original publication of this admi-
| rable letter of the Emperor Alexander, which
has caused all this excitement. indignation
clustering and threatening among the leading
political journals of England we took occasion
| to say that English statesmen would be "apt TO
recognise in this letter of instructions to the
Russian Minister at Washington rebuke and
| n warning entitled to respect" The sequel has
| proved the correctness ofour anticipations. The
gravity chagrin and displeasure with which
| Lord Palmerston's organ has discussed the sub
ject will satisfy the reader upon this point. 1t is
only to be regretted that Mr.. Seward, in his re
ply to Prince Gortchakoff, neglected to seize
the opportunity for such an exposition of the
strength of our government and the weakness
of this Southern rebellion as would tend to
strengthen the hopes Of the Gar in the main
tenance of our Union, and to make clear our
righteous cause before even the hypocritical
and INSCRIPTIONS Cabinet of England.
AS it is we think we have secured in these
English opinions of the Cars American letter
a virtual confession that Russia must hence
forth be considered in any design on the part of
England to play false to her professions of
American neutrality.

THE OFFICIAL CHARGES AGAINST FREMONT
BY COLONEL BLAIR.-The New York Tribune
accuses us of changing our opinion about
General Fremont, and quotes largely from
the columns of the HERALD to prove it,
We could have saved our contemporary
all this trouble by admitting that we have
changed our opinion. We do not profess
to be nfailible. When we find we are in error
we always hasten to correct it. Unlike party
organ grinders, who can only play one tune as
it is fixed for them, we make our own music,
and give uitcrance to the truth from day TO
day, as far as we can discover it. We want to
be always right, and therefore charge when
we see that we have been wrong. In common
with the Whole community, we entertained high
expectations of General Fremont as to his
campaign in The West. We confess our djsap-
pointment The reasons Of our change Of
opinion may be found in the charges Of Colonel
Blair, printed in another page
These charges arc Of the gravest nature; and,
on tho ground Of some of them, VIGOROUSLY true,
we have changed our opinion of General
Fremont, as we believe the vast majority of the
nomination for tho Presidency, and to them he
owes his present appointment in Missouri.
The fact Of his incapacity has compelled them
to throw him overheard. For the sake of
General Fremont himself, as well as for the
interest of the country and the government
they ought TO be investigated Immediately. IF
half Of them are proved to be true, then the
government ought not to have moments hest
tation in removing General Fremont; if they are
all disproyed then General Fremont will be
enabled to carry on the war in the West free
from that load Of popular odium which now
presses him down and necessarily inpairs his
efficiency. But, till this is done, it would appear
10 Us that il Is 100 great risk to entrrst him
with The command of o campaign, the loss of
which would involve the most serious con-
sequences. We cannot afford any more dis
astors.

TIE BATTLE or BULL. Run LITHOGRAPHED-

THE BATTLE OF BULL. RUN AUTOGRAPHED
AS matter of course we do not publish any
thing concerning the battle of Bull run as
news; but from the celebrity which it has
acquired, not only in America, but over the
whole world, whatever relating to it may pos
sess the merit Of novelty is worthy Of atten-
ton. We shall therefore publish tomorrow a
jac simile, as near as possible, of q map which
we have just received from Richmond. This
is both curious and interesting, and, in the alb
sence Of the official report of General Beaure-
gard, which is supposed to be filed somew where
in the War Office, although the Southern news
papers have been calling for it in vain for some
weeks past, is the scmi-oficial rebel history Of
the battle. The mere fact of its being
published in Richmond is, when we consider
the sort of government there, sufficient
guarantee for its semi-ofIicial character. Not
only are the positions occupied by the troops Of
both armies denoted on the map, but the time
at which the various sections OF the rebel forces
came into action is clearly marked. We have
thus something more than bird's-eyc view Of
the battle ground during the events which made
the 2lst Of July. from daybreak till nightfall,
memorable in the history of the present cam
paign.

Affairs ia Engiand-A Decided Sensa-

Affairs in EngIand-A Decided Sensa-
ton.
The extracts which we give to-day from the
English metropolitan press on the late noble
letter Of the Emperor Of Russia to our govern
nent, expressive of his sympathy with the
cause OF our Union in this crisis, will be found
by our readers to be exceedingly interesting
and suggestive.
In these extracts it is conceded by the Lon
don Times that the Emperor Of Russia speaks
"as one in whom every American must recognise
a natural and Interchangeable FRIEND" that Rus
STA and the United States, in common for the
period Of forty years, "have claimed TO them
selves peculiarly TO be the nations OF inc
futures" that they have both common rival
ry with the old countries of Western Europe.
which they are now forced to look IN to. but
have hoped ere long to surpass that England
has particularly been regarded by these two
young and aspiring nations with feeling
which, il it may not be called animosity, has
been certainly something more than mere emu
lasion." Bat tho Times console. England with
its assurances that, what with the dangerous
internal connections of Russia. resulting from
tbe emancipation of her serfs, ana what with the
present state Of Poland, which Is as ready for
secession a. South Carolina Itself, and What with
tho lts sons OF the Crimca and the Caucasus,

coun.e's than those Of peace. He does not and
