THE NEWS

We publish some additional extracts from our
European files, with q very important and interest
ing letter from one Of our Paris correspondents.
The Paris correspondent Of lie Nord Of Brus-
sells, says 1t was supposed that NJ. de Msntholon,
Consul General Of France at New York. was re-
moved in order to appoint him Minister Represen.
tatiye to the Southern confederacy The CORES.
pondent remarks that it is rather too soon to make
appointments Of that kind.
An investigation into the stock of cotton at
Liverpool shows that there are now on hand
l,oSS,7lo bales, while last year at the same date
<July ls) there were l,2s7 $50, or 2a3 900 bales
more than now. During the sixteen weeks just
ended the increase has been Ill $50 bales. while
during the same period Of 1860 there was an in.
crease of 3sl $50 bales.
Our dates from Rio Janeiro are to June q.
We find no news Of importance. Business WAS
rather dull, and exchange had still further de-
cllned, being quoted at rs to 251l at the latest
date. The Brazilian cotton crop this year ia less
han formerly, and prices advanced about cent
and half pound.
Dates from Buenos Ayres are 70 June IA and
Nontevde0 June II. The news from that region
is quite important. Preparations for war were
making on every side. Colonel Saa has been de-
ciared well deserving Of his country, and his con-
duct In San Juan endorsed by the national 60
Sernment in formal decree signed by the
president Of the confederation, Derqui, and all the
ministers, thus adding fuel to the fire. This has
produced the most indignant feeling among the
buenos Ayreans and protest from Governor Mitre.

THERE Is NOTHING LIKE LEATHER.-The resi-
dents Of Prattsville, Greene county, in this
State, have, we perceive, presented petition
to Congress praying for compromise between
the North and South on the basis of that pro-
posed by Mr.. Crittenden, giving to the slave
States slavery protection in the common Terri
tories, or an acknowledgment Of their independ-
ence, either Of which, in the opinion of the peti
TONERS, would be honorable to the federal
government and preferable to q civil war, In
which the success of the Union army is described
as doubtful. 1t is very kind of the people Of
Prattsville to take SO deep an interest in the
welfare Of the republic, and, were it perfectly
disinterested, the act would be entitled to Ger
tain amount of commendation. But, unfortu-
nately, the motive in this instance is not disin-
terested. Prattsville, be it known, Is place
which owes Its existence to leather. 1t derived
its name from one Pratt, a tanner, whose pits
were on the spot, and he has been followed by
o host of other tanners and all the wealth Of
the township has been derived from the manu-
featuring of leather. Now, it is well known that
the leather trade, like all others, has suffered
severely in consequence Of the war, and that,
Notwithstanding on unparalleled demand for
that substance in the rebellious States; so much,
indeed, are the rebels in want Of it that they
have been forced to make and repair saddlery
with canvass, and such like. The advantage Of
opening the Southern market to the leather men
of Prattsville is therefore obvious, and we cease
to wonder why they are so earnest in petition
ing for peace.

THE MILITARY LEvEs or TIE REBELs-Ws
SEQ that the rebel Secretary of State has made .
call upon the Confederate Congress for 10000
soldiers. When Mr.. Lincoln made requisiio1
for $4,000 volunteers, it was followed by ens
from jeff Davis for 10000. The Confederates
have become little more modest for tho
vote of 500 900 men by our Congress, instead 4
being doubled by them, as on the former occasion.
is now only exceeded by one-sixth of the num-
Der. As there are in the seeded States
only million of able-bodied whites between
the ages Of eighteen and forty-ave, and as .
large proportion Of this number will be required
to protect the plantations, it requires no very
great calculation to see that it is utterly
out Of their power to raise anything like the
100000 soldiers called for. In Virginia, Pensa-
cola, Missouri, Tennessee and Texas they have,
probably, at this moment some 100000 men
under arms, and this is as much as they will
ever be able to raise. The call which they have
just made is merely for buncombe, like the
speech of JEFF. Davis at Richmond, when he
gravely assured his dupes that he had captured
at Bull run provisions sufficient to supply $4,000
men for year, when, in fact, the rebels were
so straitened in that way that General Beau
regard was compelled to issue proclamation q
few days after, telling the people of Loudoa
county that if they did not supply his army
with food he would be compelled to use force
to obtain it.

The DIRECT TAX BuL.-There has been
good deal of misconception as to the provisions
of the Income and Direct Tax bill. This has
been owing partly to the haste with which it
was passed, and partly to the confused manner
in which its details were given in the Congress
sional reports. After it was legislated upon by
the House, it was sent to the Senate, where, on
second reading, the two houses got into a
deadlock upon it, which was surmounted by its
being referred to the joint Committee of COME
renee on the Tariff. By plan agreed upon in
the committee all further difficulties, both on
the Tariff and the Direct Tax bill were obvated.
We give the Tariff in tabulated form in our
impression Of to-day. SO that all may readily
find the articles in which they are interested.
The Direct Tax bill we have already published.
1t will be seen that in the measure, as amend
ed, the proposed tax on carriages and watches,
and the excise duty on beer and spirits, are en-
tirely dropped. The direct taxes, therefore, re-
solve themselves into tax of three per cent on
all incomes in excess Of $780, and of five per cent
on the incomes Of non-residents. This would
have been more clearly understood but for the
muddiness Of the Congressional reports, which
left it to be inferred that all the original provi-
sions Of the bill had been retained.

BRITISH OPINION OF Osx VOLUNTEERS Army

BRITISH OPINION OF OsE VOLUNTEERS Army
We yesterday transferred ffoA the London 1imAs
to our own columns an article referring to our
army and the military and pstrio tic spirit Of our
people In the most Gattering ter MS The cite
zens of the United States are told Ia at they may
we'll be proud Of their new army, ana that more
than forty years Of peace, broken only by such
interruptions as the Mexican war and A'e expe-
dition to Utah, have not in the least degree
blunted their military spirit, and that if rehub-
ican institutions are indeed Oh their trial, it 10
not At this point that they will break DOWN.
"A people in arms" says the journal In ques-
uon, can never be otherwise than formidable,
ana IN this case they will be opposed to an
enemy by no means their superiors in equip
ment or discipline. Such an effort must COM
mand admiration; and, regarded as an expert
ment, is well calculated to inspire confidence in
the elasticity Of volunteer organizations" The
Times seems raised to pitch of establishments
by the Senate's more than responding to the
Presidents appeal by authorizing the employ
ment Of five hundred thousand volunteers and
apprOpriating five hundred millions Of dollars
for the war; and it candidly expresses its agree
able surprise at the immense outpouring Of vo-
lunteers to sustain the action of the government,
and sees no reason to doubt that the federal
army may be increased indefinitely.
The article alluded to is written in mere
cordial spirit than any of its immediate prede-
cessors on American affairs but, doubtless,
the high opinion of our army here expressed
will DO considerably modified under the inHa-
ence Of the intelligence of the retreat from Bull
run. But this ought not to be the case. The
finest armies in the world have occasionally
yielded to panics and suffered partial defeat
The British army in India, at the outbreak Of
the mutiny, and up to the arrival of Sir Colin
Campbell, the new commander-in-chief, met via,
asuccesson of reverses; yet the British conquered
India. with its hundred and twenty millions Of
inhabitants The English ought to look upon
the Bull run defeat precisely as we look upon
it-as disaster, and nothing more. 1t is not an
event which will in the least initiate against tho
ultimate success Of our arms 1t was an unfor-
tunate occurrence, an ill-planned advance, .
costly reconnaissance; but bad as 1t was, it do
veloped the pluck and stamina of our troops,
and to the laundering and misunderstanding Of
the generals all our loss il attributable. Ths
disaster at Bull run will, therefore, only nerve
us anew for fresh battl es, with more victorious
results.

THE SITUATION.

We have nothing new to report concerning the
movements of the Union armies at any point on
the line of operations. cautious and wise
policy appears to govern the action of General
Mcclellan, and it is not likely that any attack
upon the rebel position at Manassas will be re-
newed until the army under his command Is
thoroughly organized and put upon . proper war
footing, cOnsummation which ia being RAPIDLY
and effectively arrived Mt.
There has been considerable discussion among
military men in Washington within the past few
days as to the proprety of attacking Charleston by
sea, with view to divert the forces of the rebels
from their position in Virginia, where they have
maniestly concentrated their largest army. 1t was
thought that such movement would be an excel.
lent piece of strategy in the present condition of
affairs. yet it is not very probable that it will be
adopted.
A gentleman who has just reached Washington
from Vienna states that the rebels have about
10000 men at that place and at Falls Church.
An attack upon Alexandria from that direc-
ton was talked of. He states further that
the estimate of killed at Bull run, as made
by the rebels, amounts TO 1900, exclusive of
the wounded. They admit that the loss ON their
side doubled that Of the Union army. He was in
formed that the rebels are mining the road be.
tween Falls Church and Fairfax Court House. and
that the most important batteries in the direction
of Manassas Junction had not been discovered by
our troops in the action of the 2lst of July
The city Of Baltimore has been selected as the
principal rendezvous of the army in the east, in
consequence Of the facilities Of transportation from
that point to Washington, Harpers Ferry and
Fortress Monroe.
The Navy Department has received official intelli.
gence from the Gulf squadron that the United States
steamer South Carolina had made considerable
havoc among the vessels which forced the blockade
in that locality. On the 4h Of July it appears that
she captured six schooners, and ON the following
day two more, at the Same time running one
ashore. On the 9th and 7th she captured one
schooner ON each day, making eleven in all, either
destroyed or taken. Among other things taken
from the prizes thirteen mail bags full Of let.
sers, and thirty-one packages of express matter.

The CR0Ps.-According to all accounts, this
seasons crops will be the finest and most album
dant ever known. The demand which has set
in from Europe for our cereals, although not as
great as last year, when there was failure in
the foreign crops, promises not to fall much
short of it. Assuming it to be a third LEES, it
would still help the West to recuperate largely,
by the trade Of our city. We believe that our
exports Of brcadstuffs will this year 90 great
way towards compromising us for the loss Of our
Southern customers by giving the West increased
means to purchase. We must, therefore, balance
the good against the bad, and thank Providence

pay is increased from eleven dollars to fifteen

stoned officers is increased in proportion. To
the late three months troops bounty Of thirty
dollars per man is offered If they re-enlist for
the war individually, forty dollars if they re-
enlist by companies, and fifty dollars if they re-

doubt be attended with good effect, and in these

some examples Of ruffianism on the one side,
calling for redress by the government of the
other side. AS a matter of security against such
International quarrels the Northern confederacy
and the Southern confederacy would instantly
recognise the necessity for protecting Gordon
of great fortresses, for great regular standing
army at all times, and for powerful navy.
From q republican government, North and
South, thus organized and defended, it would
be but an easy and natural step to military
despotism. Nor would it be very long before
some sagacious and ambitious President, q Ia
Louis Napoleon, Selling upon the army, would
march forward to establish his empire on the
ruins of our republican institutions, North and
South. But we should be more apt to have
two, three or half a dozen military chieftains in
the field at the same time, North, East, South
and West, repeating among US the military
changes and elections and constant wars of the
deplorable republics of Mexico, Central and
South America.
Against all such dreadful and disastrous con-
sequences our only hope, North and South, after
all that has occurred, is the maintenance of our
Union in its integrity Men may cry peace,
peace, but there is'no peace" nor can there be
peace amongst US upon any other basis than the
Union. Let us disarm this Southern rebellion,
and we shall have reliable and an enduring
peace, for the supremacy and the power of the
Union will be established. And we have no
doubt Of the power of the loyal States to bring
back our revolted States to their allegiance, for
we have no doubt that majority Of the people
