inst, in its commercial article, remarks:
The last mails from Europe brought intslIi-
gence to our marine insurance companies with
regard to the fitting out CT priYateers in Eng
land, which induced them to-day to raise their
rates for war risks on American ships from 1
to 3, 4, 3, and in sons instances 6 per cent.
This amounts, OF course, to ~resigning the
command Of the ocean to foreign vessels. Our
ships cannot compete with British vessels
while paying . per cent. extra for a war risk
and the legitimate consequence Of the resoIu-
tioa adopted to-day BY the le ding companies
will be that in a few weeks the bulk Of our

q Afew dsys since we published a state
msnt Of the plans Of the southern chieftains,
furnished by the Washington correspondent of
the New YORK Hsrali to that sheet. The pro-
gramme, as detailed 10 the North was
TFirst, That it is to be strictly defensive; that
the Po'omsc is not 70 be crossed in any event;
that the various bodies Of troops are to remain
for the present where they are, a. indicated in
the table above; that Harper's Ferry is to be
held as long So practicable, bnt TO be aban-
done3 or not, ss circumstances nav warrant;
that the line Of the Manassas GAP railroad,
extended to the mouth Of Aqua creek, is TO be
the first base Of military operations. That
this lire, now defended by IS, 900 zen, is to be
strengthened by 5000 more, il deemed neces-
ssry, but that it is to bold a stand made there,
end a battle fought there, before it shall be
abandoned.
This prediction has already been partially
realized-to such an extent that we feel war
ranted in saying there is a leakage somewhere
among those who are in position to become
acquainted with the contemplated movements
of the confederate rulers. Hsrper's Ferry has
been abandoned for good and sufficient reasons
the base Of operations Indicated has been
established, and viii, we have no doubt, be
successfully defended. Tits much of the Her
AIDS prophecy has beer enacted. We believe,
however, that an Advancement of orr forces
will disturb the remainder Of the programme.
B7The Van BuFsu Press says the appoint
nent Of Gen. Bes. McCulloch to the command
of the Confederate States troops, on the Ar
kansas f%rontier, has given confidence to the
people and alayed any fears they may have

extreme of both TANKS were inaccessible and
the front was masked with heavy forests and a
close jungle.
Col. Lyle's 10th Ohio regiment of Gen.
Bcnham's brigade, was in advance and drove
strong detachment OF the rebels out of
camp this side Of the position. the site Of
which was unknown. Shortly afterwards,
his scouts, consisting Of four companies, sud-
denly discovered themselves in the face Of

The men of the 10Th and 9th Ohio rcg-
mcntS were brought into action successiyely
by Gen. Benham and the 18th afterwards by

ally, with musketry, rifles, canister and shell,
causing some causalitics. Col. Lyle led Sow

was brought down by shot in the leg.
