complains that it is next TO an impossibility to
discover who really Yields the power Of the
Executive at Washington. Triumvirates, COM
posed Of Weed, Seward and Cameron, Tycoon
Scott" old Blair and the "little woman" from
Illinois, are each in their turn supposed to
exercise an ascendency. As for Uncle Abe,
he Is merely passive instrument in their
bands. The result is that "the pursuit of
Office or anything else, news or contracts, at
the disposal of the government appears to be
attended with greater difficulties now than
under any previous administration Does not
this account for the savage ferocity with which
Greeley has of late been attacking the Presi-

LII ID. OEOE MoRE 1T Will be re osmbe~ea
that Mr.. Russell. OF the London Times, com
planned. On his arrival st Cairo, of his letters
from the Southern States having been opened
and tempered with, or kapt back entirely.
Since that time two more u his letters aaya
been received on this eide Of the Atlantic
osmeiy, one from Mobile and another from
New Orleans - ia both of which the South aod
the Soutbe;aers, ineladisg their army and
nearly all that belongs TO them. have oeea
severely reflected upon Is il. therefore, likely
that his letters were subjsct 20 poet oiise
scrutiny aud rebel cciticism. 1t stands 60
reason that If the rebels bad been ia shs
habit Of pryiDg iato the epistles of the special
correspondent they would either have qualified
after their own taste or intercepted the testers
from two such important places rs Mobile and
New Orleans The fact ia we have not the
slightest suspicion that any OF bis commuaca
lions were opened after leaving his own hands
till they reached the Times Office. The special
correspondent has simply undergone 3 change
of opinion, and we apprshend the change will
be greater before he quits our shores. The
picture he gives of society, or rather the
anarchy which prevails, at beth shs places
mentioned, is doubtless accurate, and is
quite sufficient to taboo him all over she South,
and prevent his further enjoyment of toe
courteous hospitality OF the chivalry he took
80 much trouble to exait while ia Carolina.

The UNITED STATES AND ENGLAND A SECRET
SERVICE "A few weeks ago one of our contem
poraries took very just view of our relations
with England, eharing, in common with us all,
the feeling which prevails against that Power in
consequence Of her threatening and bellige-
rent acts towards this country. Since that
time the aggressive conduct Of Great Britain
has become more and more conspicuous. Not
only has a fleet of large war steamers been
ordered to our coasts, but numerous eunb oats
are being despatched to the came rendezgou s,
while nearly four thousand troops, together
with horses and artillery, are already on their
wsy to Canada. The English government
seems to have done and to be still doing all
that 1t well can to embarrass the administra-
ton at Washington, and with the advance Of
time the probability Of an International con-
fict only increasee. Yet that very contempo-
rary, accordingly as hosriltties become more i'm
minent, changes iss ground. We have indeed
reason to believe that the newspapers of this
city have been tempered with by the British
government. Large quantities of specie we
know have recently arrived, but we cannot ex-
actiy say how much has been consigned to
certain party for certain purpose. The New
York Times, as is evident from Its being forced
10 reduce its size to the extent Of four
columns, as well as to adopt other measures
of economy, is rapidly sinking, and not even
all the foreign assistance II can get will prove

The accounts given by fugitives from the
South agree so entirely as to the condition of
matters in, the rebel States, that there can be
20 doubt as to the main facts. They concur
in represe tng the people as being almost
universally under reign of terror, with no
law but mob law, and no liberty of speech or
action for loyal men. An officer Of the army

the coast survey, recently from the same State

had been impressed, bring some of the more

close prisoners in Virginia, and the rebels
threaten to hang ten of them for every rebel

Letter from Reauregard


The Charleston Courier publishes the fol-
lowing letter from Gen. Beauregard to Gen.
w. E. Martin, of Charleston, in which he bids
farewell to Charleston, and gives his views of
the war
CHARLESTON, May 27.
Ny DEAR GENERAL.-I sincerely regret
leaving Charleston, where the inhabitants have
given me such welcome that now consider
it as my second home.
had hoped that when relieved from here it
would have been to go to Virginia, in command
of the gallant CarOlinians, whose courage, pa
tience and zeal had learned to appreciate and
admire. But it seems my services are required
elsewhere, and thther | shall go, not with joy,
but with the firm determination to do more
than my duty, if can, and to leave as strong
mark as possible on the enemies of our be-
loved country, should they pollutei its soil with
their dastardly feet.
But rest assured, my dear sir, that whatev-
er happens at first, we are certain to triumph
at last, even if we had for arms only pitchforks
and hint-lock muskets, for every bush and hay
stack will become an ambush, and every barn
fortress The history of nations proves that
a gallant and free people, fighting for thier in
dependence and firesides are invincible against
even disciplined mercenaries, at a few dollars
per month What, then, must be the result
when its enemies are little more than an armed
rabble, gathered together hastily on false
pretense, and for an unholy purpose, with an
octogenarian at its head None but the de-
mented can doubt the issue.
remain, dear General, yours sincerely,

The Enga cement ut Aquia Creek

The New Yoak papers of Monday contain
the details of the naval attacks on the rebel
batteries at Aqua Greek, on the Potomac
The first attack, as has been before stated,
was made on Friday, and lasted two hours
the Thomas F"eeborn, the Annacosta and
other small vessels being engaged. The sec
ond attack took place on Saturday, and the
Pawnee took part in it. In the interval be-
tween the two engagements the rebel batter
les, which were very much damaged on the
first day, had been repaired, and consider
able body of rebel troops, estimated at two
thousand strong, had been concentrated for
their support. The action, which continued
about four hours, was commenced by the
Freeborn, but the Pawnee and Anacosta were
also soon engaged. The firing from the bat
teries was very brisk, but the shooting" was
bad, but very few of their shots striking the
vessels, and no body on board being hurt
On shore, however, the damage was very
considerable, the railroad depot and buildings
being demolished, the batteries being badly
knocked about, and quite number of the
rebel troops were killed-at least ten or twelve
