Progress and Prospects OF the War-The
Overwhelming Power of the Union.

According TO our latest European advices,
Mr.. Gregory's motion in the British House of
Commons for the recognition Of the national
independence of our revolted Confederate
States was, at the instance Of Lord John Rus
sell, postponed for two weeks. Doubtless his
lordshp anticipated what will surely be es-
tablished in the interval-to wit, state of
facts and Developments calling for the in.
definite postponement of Mr. Gregory's propo-
sition. The published letter of our Secretary
Of State to Mr.. Faulkner our late Minister in
France, and the instructions of Mr.. Seward to
| Mr. Adams for the information of the British
| Cabinet together with the suggestive events
which, in this country, have followed the bonn
bardment of Fort Sumter, win unquestionably
convince the British government of the
overwhelming warlkc forces and resources at
the service Of President Lincoln in behalf of the
| integrity OF the Union.
| A stranger, however intelligent and dispas-
| sionate, just dropped in amongst Us, fresh from
| the other side Of the Atlantic and with his
mind confused with memories of the Crimea
and of the Hindoo nsurrection. would naturally
enough be puzzled to give any other than a
very superficial view of our Southern rebellion.
taking his first observations from Charles
ton TO Montgomery. Indeed, we may say
that down to the bombardment of Fort
Sumter, the apparent incredibly of the govern
ment at Washington as to its dangers, and the
repugnance Of the conservative elements Of the
North to coercion against Southern secession,
afforded hardly shadow OF hope for the resto-
ration of the Union, except through the deli
berate and patient instrumentalities Of forbear-
ance and Cancellation. But the assault upon
Fort Sumter, in closing the door OF concilia-
ton, and in throwing down the gauntlet of
war Instantly effected as by magic, sweep
ing revolution throughout the loyal States in
favor of the maintenance Of the Union bv force
Of arms.
We have every reason 10 believe that the
assault on Fort Sumter was resolved unon in
order to precipitate the hestating virginia
State Convention into the gulf Of this Southern
revolution. The evacuation Of the fort nm.
questlonably precipitated this result and the
calculation that Virginia would carry along with

THE GREAT EAsTERN.-The quiet arrival OF
the great ship in our port yesterday morning
offered curious contrast to the excitement
and curiosity attendant upon her frs. visit to
us. Then, all New York turned out to witness
her approach; now, no enc seems to give him
self the least concern about her. The fact is
that bigger sensation has supplanted that Gre
ated by the nautical wonder. The Great East

whether such another spectacle will again be
witnessed as the throes Of the great repablic.

THE Pope lives very plainly. His Court,
though externally splendid, is austerely
regulated, and his privy purse estimated at
not more than 4,l60 Roman dollars per
annum. Among the thousand chambers of
the Vatican, few, and those not the largest,
are reserved for his residence. In the Qu-
rinal Palace he has finer suite; but his villa
on the Lake of Albano, and that lately pur-
chased at Porto dAnzio, are surpassed by
many country seats of gentlemen ih England.
He holds no levees, but access to him is easy,
for persons of almost every rank, with no
other requirements of etiquette of costume
than black evening dress, without gloves, and
the veil for females. lie daily celebrates
mass in his private chapel, and attends
another mass said by chaplain; dedicates
the entire morning, till an early hour, to his
duties; then drives out, and, when beyond
the city walls, usually walks returns again
to occupy his hours till a rather late supper
in endless engagements, among which an-
diences, official and private, are prominent;
and it is said his.preSeptH Holiness has literally
spent the day till P NJ. in one series of re-
ceptions. The household is at present COM
posed of the Cardinal, the Secretary of State,
a major domo, maestro de camera, an
auditor, the maetro of the sacred palace, ten
private supernumerary chamberlains, all,
like the former of prelatical rank.

THE CooL1z QUESTION. Cooley" is CAL

THE CooLIE QUESTION Cooley" is a CAL
cutta word, and signifies a porter or bearer
of burdens. BY some unexplainable process,
though, we believe Ex-Governor Bigler and
Hon. George B. Tingley had some hand in
1.-THE word spelled "coolie," is applied in
California to the immigrant Chinese The
etymology of the word, however is of bnt
little consequence. All Chinmen in Cali
fornia. especially the laboring ones, are
known rs coolies" and if they object to
the appellativc, why, let them file their de-
murrer. In San Francisco exceedingly
strong ground is taken against the further
introduction of these coolies, who are virtu-
ally slaves, into California because their
labor comes in direct competition with that
OF free white American citizens. The Me-
chanics Institute, of San Francisco, before
the last election, threw this ccoie question
into the political scales, aud exacted, or
attempted to exact, pledges from the
legislative cauddats Of this city, that they
would aid in the enactment of some law by
which the imm igration of Chinese slaves to
our shores would be 'eIfectually checked. 1t
is not generally known that large portion
of the Chinese, males and females, who are
brought to California are slaves, and held as
property, under masters and mistreSses, who
live upon their labor, and treat them with
cruelty in recompense. But this IS even so.
The female slaves are doomed to the vlest
and most loathsome form of human bondage;
forced, by the horrible hags who own them,
to minister to the depraved appe;ites Of men,
and scourged without mercy and even mur-
dered, when disease units them to meet
the hellish exactions of their miStreSSes
These miserable victims are sold into slavery,
by their parents, in infancy and are reg
ularly trained to prostitution by the wreches
who purchase them. The Introduction of
this class of slaves into California has work
ed immeasurable evil, as thousands of white
men can testify and the moral health of the
state requires that it be stopped. Of the
peculiar system of servitude, under which
the male Chinese slaves are held, not N n1ch
us known, except the general fact that such
SLAVES are brought here and forced to work
for masters who cannot be citizens of the
State, and 'have no interest in its policy or
its welfare. The Louisiana planter dares
not bring his slaves to California and make
them work in the mines. Then why should
Chinese mandarin enjoy such a distin-
guished privilege? This question is Of easy
solution. and the sooner it shall he solved
the better. Our legislators owe it sac
red duty to their constituents, to protect all
free white citizens of the State against the
runous consequences of competition with
Chinese slave labor

II DON'T DANCE. An exchange says: A
plain. unlettered man from the back country
in the State of Alabama. came to Tuscaloosa,
and on Sunday went early to church. He
selected a seat in a convenient slip, and
waited patiently the assembling of the con-
gregaton. The service commenced. Pres
emily the music of a flll-toned organ burst
upon his astonIshed ear; he had never
heard one before. At the same time the
gentleman who owned the slip came up the
aisle with his lady leaning on his arm. AS
he approached the door of the slip, he mo-
toned to give place to the lady. This move
ment the countryman did not comprehend
and from the situation Of the gentleman and
lady, associated as it was in his mind with
the music, he Immediately concluded that a
cotlllion or French contra dance, or some
other dance was Intended. Rising partly
from his seat, he said: Excuse me, sir-ex-
-cuse me, if yon please, don't dance"

A MiSHTY YRIvER-The Amazon, the largest
river in the world, has an area of drainage
nearly three times as large as that of all the
rivers of Europe that empty themselvs into
the the Atlantic ocean. Theplain is entirely
covered with dense primeval forest, through
which the only paths are those made by the
river and her numerous tributaries. This
forest is literally impenetrabe. Humboldt
says that two Mission stations might be only
few miles apart and yet the residents would
require day and half to visit each other,
along the windings of small streams. Even
the wild animals get so involved in the dense
masses of wood-even the jauger-that they
live for long time in the trees, terror to
the monkeys whose domains they have in
raded The trees measure from eight to
twelve feet in diameter, and the intervals
are occupied by shrub-plants, which here,
in these tropical regions, become aborescent.

At this poin, the Potomac il about $50 yards wild,
and at no place deeper than 81 feet. 1t was saslv

Pennsylyanians. But tue Rebels had oil town. and
there was not the femblance Of resistance.
This movement of our troops was made with rerfecs
order and the marched through the water with a.
much steadiness if they defling on the leysl

troops this eide Of the Maryland line at Wilamsport.
This morning the same force are pushing forward
toward Nartnsburg, where, is sad there are 900
Rebels. No stand will be made by them there, but,
with the Harper's Ferry heroes, they will reaes

In the afternoon he visited the camps of Gems. wyu,

and reviewed the 18th and 18th Regiments Pennsyly

order and quietude It is an investment. Capt.
tai has been put into arms and munitions OF
war. The adventure is to be treated as an
economical outlay, and there must be balance
sheet Of profit and loss for the examination of
the stockholders. Money, forcibly withdrawn from
other employments-cash paid for muskets, pow
der and preyisions-is to swell the debit column
of the account, which is not to be couDterpOsed
by the single item of hollow and treacherous
pacifcatiOn, to last till troops are dsbanded
and return to the farm and the merchandise.
do not choose now to 90 into seine remote re-
suits which are not to be avoided as final issues
TO the contrary. These are visible distinctly, to
some and darkly to others. They are to come
naturally and in their order, and need not be
fastened or waited for with impotence. But OF
one thing Mr.. Crittendcn and his fellow work
men may be assured-this armed intervention is
to be settled by the supremacy Of one intere't or
the other 1t will give Slavery preponderance
or the Free States will reclaim the strength which
they have left in the weakness OF their COM
plance, to be used for their own subjugatlon
! And there are harsher truths to be impressed on
memory for the hereafter. There Is TO
be o cOndign punishment TO the crime
of conspiring against the supreme law Of
| the land. Treason, bold and brazen, Is
not to walk abroad without rebuke. The gath
ering of armies to overurn and destroy is not to be
a holiday parade, but an offense for which the
highest penalties are to pay forfeit. What is to
be done with persons and property may be a
subject of after reflection; but one century Of
assured quiet must follow the perturbation of the
present turmoil. The people ask from Congress
prompt legislation for war, generous approlrla-
tons in money, and liberal coDtingents in men.
Wordy speeches of fraternity and old brotherhood
are not the wants of the hour, and the precious
breath of aged or young lungs will be badly
wasted in crying "Peace, ""Peace," when there
ia no peace but under the sword.
