EFFECT OF SECESSION ABRoAD-The Philadelphia
Ledger learns from intelligent and observing
source in England of the following state of the
crops in that country and the effect of the Amer
can troubles upon the people:
The hay crop is being got in stack, in good con-
diton for the moist climate. 1t is not at all full
crop, being lighter than usual. Of wheat, a much
less breadth was sown than ordinary, because the
ground was too wet to put it in and what is stand
ing looks, everywhere almost, thin but healthy
and the far is favorable. 1T is in full
head. Oats very short, but otherwise looking
we'll Beans-a field crop of vast account here
never looked better. Bects and turnips not for
ward enough to speak Of Potatoes, excellent.
wide breadth of both beans and potatoes has been
put in. Regarding cotton, notwithstanding the
press makes light of it, gloomy forebodings trouble
the public mind. Fiom actual knowledge just ac
qured right in the manufacturing districts of Ian
cashire, Manchester, Preston, Blackburne, ETC.,
and in other shires, the following information is
gained Every workman and every manufacturer
tells the same sad story. The dresi distress is
tlcpaled. 1t is felt now in short work; but in
August its severity will begin to be felt 10 earnest ;
and winter is dreaded like nightmare. Among
other branchesof industry affected by the Ameri-
can troubles, found nearly all the vast potter
les of StattoTdshirc closed, and the work people,
of whom vast numbers are females, gathered in
clusters, and, with beating hearts, speaking Of the
coming storm.

How to Avoid Trouble with England and
France.

a private letter from distinguished gentleman,
who has lived long while in England, is published
in the Boston papers, and processes to point out
way to avoid with England and France.
The writer thinks there IS small risk of war with
these powers, and even that may be readily put
aside in this way:
Let our triumphant columns advance along
the highlands and down the Mississippi into the
Gulf States before December, and let complete,
etfectual blockade be established and maintained
from the Chesapeake to the Rio del Norte by Octo-
ber at latest"
We have no doubt, if that can be done with rea-
sonable promptitude, that there will be no war be-
tween the United States and England and France :;
for it will be, when effected, to those
usual from this country, which is all they pro-
fess to want. He admits that the most expeditions
and energetic action is necessary: 50 But only
Americans who have been IN Europe during the
spring fully conceive the Importance of the
most expeditions and energetic action" He does
not tell us, however, what the consequences will
be, if our army is not in the Gulf States before
December. There is the sticking point of danger.
The prospect now for the occupation of the Gulf
States before December is not so great as it was
when the writer gave his views, WHICH was the
18th inst, three days before the Manassas disaster
When he wrote, the indications were that the
United States troops would be in possession of
Richmond and Memphis in short time and with
them, as basis OF operations the Gulf States
would, before December, be altogether under Fed
eral CONTROL The disaster of Sunday last has
thrown us back--some say one year, at least-cer
tainly two or three months. That makes it neces-
sary to change sthe programme of entering the
Gulf States in the way proposed, and endeavor
to get them in some other way. The necessity is
pressing for immediate action. To avoid foreign
war, the blockade must be raised, which would be
a greater blow to our character and standing with
foreign powers than would be the loss of half
dozen hoty y-contested and brayely-fought battles,
we must be in position to say to England and
France, you shall have all the raw cotton and to-
bacco you require. One or the other of these al
ternatives, it would seem, from present appear
anees, our Government must adopt to AVOID war
with England and perhaps, also, with France, un-
less these latter powers shall intervene against the
Confederates, which is not likely. [Gin. Enquirer.

THE PART WHICH Mr. RIDDLE, NJ. G. FROM ONO,
Took IN TIE FLlGHT.-Mr. Riddle, member of the
Lincoln Congress from Ohio, writes letter to the
Cleveland Leader concerning his experience at
the battle of Manassas, from which the following
extracts are taken
Well, the further they (the soldiers) ran, the
more frightened they grew, and although we
moved on as rapidly as we could, the fugitivess
The heat was awful, although now about G the
men were eXhausted-ther mouths gaped, their
lips cracked and blackened with the powder of the
cartridges they had bitten off in the battle; their
eyes starting in trenZy-no mortal ever saw such
a mass of CHASTITY wretches.
As passed the poor demented, exhausted
wretches, who could not climb into the high, close
baggage wagons, they made frantic Efforts to get
on 10 and into carriage They grasped it
everywhere, and got to it, and over it, and i'm
plOred us every way to take them on. We had to
be rough with them. AT first, they loaded us down
almost to stand still, and we had to push them off,
and throw them out. Finally, Brown and I, with
a pistol each, kept them out, although one poor
devil got in in spite of US, and we ugged the
coward two miles. | finally opened the door, and
he was tumbled out.
The Cincinnati Commercial insists that '' the
people Of Cleveland should give Mr.. Riddle re-
ception when he returns home," but does not indi-
cate the character of reception.
The Cleveland Herald justly and Indignantly ex-
claims:
Great Cod One of those men with cracked
lips, and blackened with powder, eyes starting in
frenzy who had been without food for twcnty-four
hours, and all day in the most desperate battle of
the age, was tunbed out by this member Of Con
gress And how he stigmati2es the brave men
who had been risking their lives to keep him safely
in his seat in Congress at Washington " CHASTITY
wretches u Poor, demented exhausted wretch

A RECHERCHE STYLE OF HAr.-A Memphis paper
says:
The city ladies have donned the latest style hat.
If the country ladies' wish for the pattern let them
take one fourth of the thick end Of a goose egg,
and lay it on the table, round end upward; then
take one-third of the same end Of hen egg, and
place it end upward on the top Of the portion of
goose egg. The result will be perfect pattern of
the proportions and appearance of the new style.

Meeting of the Thirty Seventh Congress
Congress assembled at Washington, in
extraordinary Session, on Thursday, the
9TH inst. But little has been done thus
far saGe in the matter Of so arranging pre-
liminsries tbatthe business for which the
session was called may be promptly dis
patched. The House organized on the
4th By the election of Galusha A. Grow,
Of Pennsylvania. Speaker, and Mr.. Eth.
ridge, of Tennessee. Clerk. It's organiza-
tion was completed on Friday. by the e.
lection of Edward Ball, of Ohio. Sergeant
at Arms, and Ira G Goodenow, fNew York,
Doorkceper. Forty. nine members an.
swered to their names in the Senate, and
one hundred and 6fty nine in the House.
at o'clock, p. m., on Friday, the
Presidents Message, copy of which will
be found in this weeks paper, was sent to
both Houses. 1t has the great merit Of
brevity on its side, aud the still greater
merit Of plainly setting forth the causes
of, aud the remedy for the present deplo-
rable condition Of the country. 1t is just
such message as would naturally be ex
pected from President who has the per-
manert good Of the whole country at
heart, aud who is thoroughly determined
10 leave nothing urdone. that promises to
bring order cut of the confusion BIZ which
be found the government surrounded. His
assurances as to our foreign relations are
Of the most gratifying character.
From the way in which the members
OF Congress lay ont their work we Judge
that the present will be short but active
session. A Law % ratify and confirm
the acts Of the President for the suppress
sion of the insurrection and rebellion a
bill to authorize the employment of vol
unteers FOR enforcing the laws and protest
ing public property; bill to increase
the present military establishment of the
United States a bill providing for the
better organization Of the military estab-
lishment; a'bill to promote the efficiency
of the army. and law for organizing a
volunteer militia force to be called the
National Guard of the United States, are
among the measures which the necessities
Of the times will enforce upon the atten-
ton OF Congress. We will endeavor to
keep our readers advised of events as
they transpire.
