FOREIGN ASPECTS.

The American people will learn, by expert
ence, before many months, what they ought to
have foreseen long ago, that so momentous an
affair as the attempted disruption Of the Amer.
lean Union cannot safely be msasged without
some reference to the interests, convictions,
sentiments, and policy Of the rest Of mankind.
The Southern States have been fortunate
enough to conciliate the good will Of powerful
nations in Europe, towards - attempted sepa
rate republic, based svowedly upon the deter
mination to extend and perpetuatc domestic
Institution odious to the civilized world
And on the other hand, the loyal States who
are struggling to put down a rebellion against
which they might have directed moral cru.
sade Of all Christendon,, find themselves threat
ened in the midst of their military operations,
with the adverse interposition Of England, and
probably Of France also, the only two nations
who can materially iniure us, or who could
materially aid us.
Clearly, this condition of things is the result
of extraordinary misfortune or of extraordinary
mismauagement. And Is il not equally clear,
10 which Of those causes we shonld ascribe l.?
The advantage We had over the leaders Of
southern treason, in securing the support Of
the world, growing ont of the fact that those
leaders were engaged in an enterprise having
no other object (real or pretended) than the
aggrsndiz sment Of slavery, we have volun.
tariy thrown over, by declaring it to be our
owu object to restore the Union just as it was,
aud with the institutions of all the States intact
and utreformed. With that declaration on our
part, the question Of slavery was removed
from the consideration Of mankind, and the
diplomatic emissaries of treason had no OBJ
structon, in urging in Europe the various
temptations OF free trade and colonial connec.
items, while the natural desire Of foreign ua
tons to witness the disruption of a people be
coming dangerously powerful, was left to d.
its, work without check or coanterpoise.
Whatever delusions we have been lsborinp
under heretofore, it cannot now be disguised
that the struggle In which we are engaged fol
national existence Is one 20 far doubtful, thai
no aid TO victory can be thrown away without
criminal and suicidal recklessness. 1t Is nc
time now for that vainglorious folly Of ths
past summer and fall, that we could wage wal
against the South in style which ignored tn,
existence of four millions of It's inhabitants
1t is no time now Tor 80 far treating the opin
ions o. Europe with contempt as to repel tn
efficient means, and the only me ans, Of rallyini
popular sentimen: in our favor to contro
"r neutralize the adverse policies of govern

GET. JAMES II. LANE TO LEAD THE

We learn that General JAMES H. LANE was

brigsdier general of volunteers and we under
stand that be will accept the appointment, if
assigned to such an Independent command 10
Kansas and Missouri, and with such sufficient
force, (say 10000 men,) as will enable him to
carry out useful plan Of campaign in that
quarter.
The sense Of the Senate, upon the right of
Gen. Lane to seat in that body, was very de-
cisively manifested yesterday but 1t is under
stood that General Lane will not accept the
position Of brigadier general until he has first
produced to the Judiciary Committee such evi.
dence as will be entirely conclusive as to his
risbtful occupancy Of his place In the Senate.
The whole country will rejoice over the news
OF bis appointment as brigadier general. The
West, and Kansas especially, will hall 1t with
unringled joy. Our Information, gathered
from all sources, convinces us Of the fact that
no man will accomplish more with the requisite
military means than General Lane Give him

GREAT EXCITEMENT IN HAGERSTOWN
AND THE SURROUNDING COUNTRY.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.l
Frederick, Doc. ia gentleman who ar.
rived from Williamsport late last night reports
that Gen. Jackson's brigade has been largely
reinforced, and Is supposed to amount to nine
thousand men, at Falling Waters. At nine
O'Clock p. m. ffty.one wagons, belonging to the
Confederates, were backed down to the shore,
and y boat from each quietly launched into the
river. Two Of the boats, of large size, we're
for the transportation of Jaokson's artillery.
At this juncture, the Informant left for Gen.
Banks's headquarters.
Our informant thinks the object of Jackson
is to cross over, make dash at Wiliamsport,
and seize the stores and arms there. he in
formed Col. Leonard Of all that was transpiring
and thinks the latter has taken full precaution
to prevent II by removing the stores, etc., to
more secure place, and that he also took
steps to concentrate all his available force to
prevent the passage Of the river. Our inform.

route for Willamsport, two miles northwestern

that Jackson's regulars, including a Georgia
regiment which had just joined him, were de

in refusing to cross The river. jackson was
determined to cross the Potomac this morning.
On receipt Of this intelligence by General
Banks, orders we're issued TO the Third Brigade,
General Williams commanding, to be prepared
to perform forced march to williamsport at
