is still the bitterest feeling manifested By
many journals toward the Union, and
every Confederate dash that can be made
to answer the purpose is counted a. rebel
victory The raid Of jackson and the re-
treat OF Banks afforded q rare opportunity
for the giOrihoation OF the confederates at
the expense Of the Fsderals and was ssiatd
upon with the greatest avidity. The Lon
don Times says that federal authO-ity Is
once more endangered in WesterR Virginia
and the conquest Of the State can no
longer be looked upon as a certainty BY the
most sanguine Northerner." The Times
need wait but few days more before It
hears Of the conquest Of the capital of the
State, aud then Ghe rest win soon follow
Already the SARnOn are laundering at the
gates of Richmond, and Mcclellan reports
that all goes WELL 1t may be that before
these lines meet the eye Of the reader, the
great and decisive battle win have bean
decided, and the Stars and Stripes raised
on the hall Of the rebel Congress. If not
as soon as this, it eaunst be, many days be-
fore the conflict viii come, and when il
comes We have coRhianee that victory will
come withiE 7Ehs Times says that the
present resources Of the Government in
men, however large, have been used to the
utmost in the prosecution Of the war. Had
ROi the unwise order been given few
weeks ago to stop recruiting, the Times
would see that the steady flow Of men TO
the standard was BY no means indicative
of a lack al the fountain head. And it
may see by the response that was made to
the call Cor troops on the occasion Of that
same rebel onset that the great mass of
the peOple may still be drawn upon for any
required number of new recruits.
In Parliamentary discussion upon the
American question, the case Of the Cireas-
sian (whichlBas captured with goods for
the rebels on b0ard,) was brought up, and
the statement made that the case was under
advisemsht by the law officers of thecrown.
In regard to the question Of mediation,
Earl Russell said no proposal had been
made to France in reference thereto, and
France had made none to England. There
had been no communication on the subject
between the two governments. He re-
marked that to him the present time seem
ed most inOpportune for such mediation.
In the House Of Commons, Lord Paimers-
ton said that the British Government had
no intention at present to offer mediation.
PalmerstOn said IN reference tolGen. But
ler's proclamation to the women of New
Orleans that he regarded it as infamous.
In France the Constitutional argued
strongly for mediation, saying that that is
the only course through which peace can
come. The same paper says that one year
ago, when the war broke out France Of
fsred her mediation to America, but. it was
not accepted. !. a4EHkJ HHEIf1
The Paris correspondent Of the London
News says that the Patrie affrms that
France has determined to ask England to
join in mediation. Other Paris CORES
pOndents speak as if France was already
assured of the cooperation of England in
her schemes for intervention. It says that
after two discussions in the French Minis
teriaI Councils, one Of which was held the
18th Of June, within a few hours Of the
EmperOr's departure for Fontainebleau,
Meditation was resolved upon; that sinful
tsneeus propositions should be made by
England and France at Richmond and
Washington, and that in case Of their re-
fusal, either blythe North or the South, the
two Powers toiH impose peace upon the. bslRg-
erents by force of arms This is highly i'm
probable, and it cannot be expected that
England win join in such a move il it is
made by France, while for Napoleon, his
intervention in Mexico has terminated so
disastrUusly that he will have enough to do
for the present in recovering from that
failure.
A writer in the Herald, whom we sup
pose to be Judge Bishop, vigorously com
bats the idsa1th that is advanced BY nearly
all the advocates Of the Union movement
and which he states as follows; flfi
That by being united in local affairs,
and doing away with all political differ
ences and distinctions in them, and divid-
! ing the offices among those of different po-
TsAs.,y 4G,o,5I,, 5opot.--o vrT,ffad
ton in supporting the government in put
ting down rebellion, and secure support
against secession that otherwise would not
be DONE" p 4
Having discussed this proposition and
disagreed with IT, Judge Bishop concludes
in the following words, which we commend
to all our readers;
aThe argument that the Government
viii be strengthened and essentially aided
in putting down rebellion by doing away
with all local political differences falls to
] the ground, as it most certainly should
What I, appeal to a citizen Of Ohio to assist
the country in its almost death struggle, be-
cause thereby he or his friend viii be elect
/ ed or appointed to some Office I1i Let the
advocates Of Union on this ground go
among the people Of this county and pro
claim such doctrine, and there is not a
loyal farmer Of the county but viii consid-
er the meanest stump upon his farm too
good from which to have such proclama-
tion made. If, then, there is to be Uhion
political action here, it must be upon after
3 ent grounds from those above indicated
Of those grounds I may speak hereafter
