GENERAL McCLELLAN's REyIEws.--General
McClellan's recent review of the six thousand
cavalry and two thousand artillerymen
with one hundred and twelve pieces of
cannon, attached to the grand army of the Poto-
mac, was splendid affair; and it is to be hoped
that he will continue these exhibitions, includ-
ing the corps of infantry under his command.
General Mcclellan is distinguished from all
other American generals by the fact that he
holds frequent reviews. Indeed, he is The only
general who holds reviews at all. For this he
is ridiculed by some journals, who imagine that
they are very smart But they know nothing of
the subject on which they write, Napoleon the
Great and Frederick the Great deemed reviews
essential to military proficiency. The present
Emperor of the French and all British generals
hold frequent reviews. General Mcclellan fol-
lows the example Of these military nations, and
he is right. It's the most practical and effect
ual mode Of teaching both soldiers and officers
their duty, next to active service in the field. 1t
makes the army acquainted with the officers and
generals who are to lead them on the day of
battle; it familiarizes them with the evolutions
Of the line and enables them TO execute th ese
movements with rapidity and precision in the
face of an enemy; it inspires mutual confidence
and seifrelance, and imparts unity to the frag-
ments of an army, by enabling them all to act in
concert. The apprehension of censure for fail
ing in any of the different man9uyres keeps the
officers and men continually on the alert and in
a state of preparation.
Without some such training an army would
consist of disoined regiments and brigades,
having no certain and necessary connection
with each other. This was pretty much the case
ut Bull run, and the consequence we all know.
But General Mcclellan says we are to have no
more Bull runs; and the way by which he in
tends to prevent such disaster in future is
| by having thoroughly organized, we'll dsci-
! plined army under his command instead of a
military mob, unmanageable under heavy fire.
Perhaps the history of war does not present an
other example of the production of so fine an
! army in such short tme we trust therefore,
that Gen Mcclellan will continue his reviews
and sham battles, holding one every day, till
constant mortal combat with the enemy super
! sedes their necessity.

The Scditfous Abolition Conspiracy
Against the Governments.

The insidious assaults that are daily made by
the abolition press upon the President of the
United States, and the covert manner in which
every element is fostered by it that tends to
paralyze the energies of the federal govern
ment, are slowly and surely arousng degree
of Indignation among loyal citizens, which must
soon call for prompt and decided action on the
part OF the proper authorities. The people
feel that all has not yet been done that ought
to be done, towards uniting the entire popula
ton OF the Northern States, in one vast I'M
broken combination for the preservation of our
free institutions, and the perpetuation of that
constitutional rule which was beaueathed ia
them by our forefathers. Open sympathy with
secession, in the shape of peace party and
peace journals, has been summarily put an end
to, and amid universal applause and undivided
appreciation, papers like the Journal of Com
merce, Day Book and Ne,cs were prevented
from going through the mails, and individuals
like McMaster, who persisted in preaching the
doctrines they taught, were committed to Fort
Lafayette, and prevented from doing further
mischief Yet these papers and individuals
were far less dangerous than the Greeleys, Ray
monds, Cheevers, Beechers, Garrsons and Wen

rostrum, or in the columns of the Tribune,

THE SITUATION.


Another brilliant naval feat has been performed
this time by the officers and crew of the United
States steamer Union Lieutenant A. D. Harrell,
commanding. On the morning of the 18th inst,
before daylight, two launches and boat were
taken from the vessel cruising along the Potomac
river, up the narrow channel of Quantico creek,
and the crews there discovered and boarded q
large rebel schooner, which they fred and com
pieteiy destroyed. The conhagraton revealed to
the rebels-who had already been advised by the
sentry of the attack-the position of the boarding
party, and rapid fire was poured upon them from
both banks of the narrow and tortuous stream,
intcrmngled with choice chivalrc opprobious cpl
thets. Not single Union man was killed. cal

perforated by balls

From Washington VIC learn that a new rebel

of Timber Branch, between Quantico Creek and
Cockpit Point. AT this part of the Virginia shore

An advance in force was yesterday. made by the
rebels in the direction Of Prospect Hill, Virginia
The Union pickets were driven in, and General
McCalis division, supported by artillery and eaval

advance. The rebel battery fired few shots. but
being out of range, no injury was done to the
Union troops. The divisions OF Generals Smith,
Porter and Mcdowell were also prepared for ac-
ton, but the rebels did not seem willing to make
the engagement general one, and retired in their
usual way.
Further and fuller particulars of the contest at
Chcamacomco, N. c., have been received, which,
with the diagram of the military and naval posi-
tons will prove interesting to our readers Briga-

ENdLAND's SYMPATHY WITH THE REBELS 40.
COUNTED FoR-SPREcH or Sm EDWARD BuLwzR
LYrroN.--At one Of those agricultural society
dinners in which English gourmands take delight,
and where English politicians and statesmen like
to show of their oratory, Sir Edward Bulwer Lyt-
ton has been recently making speech, the re-
port OF which will be found in our columns to-
day It's principal topic, at least the only one
OF interest to US, was the American rebellion.
Sir Edward took it philosophically. 1t was to
be regretted to be sure, but still it was what hs
and every like farseeing man had long fore
seen. But however the American nation might
suffer by it, European nations, according to
him, could not fail to derive immense satisfac-
ton from it. 1t was not to be conceived of that
a fourth part of the earth could be held under
one imperial form Of government; and he VEN
tured to predict-the wish being doubtless
father to the thought-that at least four, and
probably more than four, separate and sove-
reign commonwealth would be formed out Of
the republic as at precent constituted.
That idea consoled him under the affective
thought of seeing this hation engaged in inter-
necine war No matter at what tremendous
sacrifices the issue was to be reached, it was de-
lightful to have the conviction that such sepa-
rations as he predicted would be attended with
happy results. Because--this is the core of the
argument-if this continent, with its mighty
seaboard, and with the fleets which would be
formed and armed, were to remain under one
form of government, America would hang over
Europe like gathering and destructive
thunder cloud; no single kingdom in Europe
could maintain itself against nation which had
once consolidated the gigantic resources of one
fourth the globe; but, just as America was subdi-
vided into different States, her ambition would
be less formidable to the rest Of the world
There is the true secret of England's
lily concealed sympathy with the rebels OF
the South Not that England loves rebellion
for itself, but that, in this instance, the issue
may destroy or diminish a power whose
greatness she fears. When the HERALD,
time and again, pointed out the jea-
was awakening in Europe, it was derided
as sensational journal. But now we see one Of
the leading men of England confessing that that
jealousy and alarm did and do prevail, and ex-
pressing satisfaction at the occurrence Of events
which tended to lessen the danger apprehended
to Europe. Sir Edward seems to have thought
that there was no risk at this time Of throwing
off disguise and proclaiming frankly and unre-
servedly the immense satisfaction which the
English government feels in seeing us involved
in such great difficulties. -
We hope however. that the author of these
Christian sentiments will soon have cause to re-
greet their expression, and will find that there is
as little fear Of the United States being split up
into four commonwealth as there is of seeing
the Saxon Heptarchy restored in the fast an
chored isle.

NEWSPAPER DEMONSTRATION the SUNDAY
HERALD was started, some years ago. we were
assailed by the Sunday papers with bowling,
which could only be compared to the on
slaught of parcel Of Chinese warriors Its
constantly increasing circulation has kept alive
to this day, on the part of our hebdomadal
contemporaries, the bitter feelings that were
then manifested. It has been the same with
pcrity of our journal, at time when they are
fast sinking in circulation and dying out of ex-
istence, is an offence which they cannot pardon.
Unable to refute the evidence Of a progress
unexampled in the history Of the newspaper
press, they denounce our political course, and
accuse us Of the enormous crime of-chang-
ing our mind There are few journals
which have been so steady in their deyo-
ton to the great constitutional principles
on which our institutions are based. Had
the editors that make this cutlery been
as consistent and disintercsted as we have been
throughout long journalistic career, the coun-
try would not be in the condition that it now is.
As to our changing our mind on minor questions
of policy when the circumstances Of the times
call for it, our readers need not be told that it
when common sense demands revision Of
ones opinions. The only difference between
us and our rivals is, that when they shift round
they do it for q consideration, while we do 10

GENERAL SHERMAN IN KENrucKY.-Gen. w. T.
Sherman, to whom, on account Of the shattered
health Of General Anderson, the chief command
of the Union troops Of Kentucky has been
assigned, is, according to all accounts, very
superior officer. He is brother of Senator
Sherman, Of Ohio, a fact which, Of ITSELF indi-
Gates large degree of pluck, energy and reso-
luton. He is a scholar of rare endowments,
and was for some time at the head of the State
University Of Louisiana, position which he
resigned on the breaking out of Slidells seces-
sion conspiracy. But, above all, in view of
his present responsible position as military
leader, General Sherman's popularity in Ken
lucky is due to his qualifications Of "a thorough,
we'll trained, long seasoned soldier" He is
fully endorsed by General Anderson. With
such q leader, then, as General Sherman, we
may expect, and very soon, too, from the stall
worth Union troops Of Kentucky the best results.
