OCEAN STEAM NAvIGAToN-OUR SHORT
ooMNGs-Within the last fortnight two pas
sages have been made across the Atlantic
which surpass in speed anything before 40
complishsd by ocean steamers. The first was
that by the China, which made the passage
from Queenstown to Cape Race in five days
and nineteen hours-thus giving US news in
less than six days from all parts Of Europe.
The China is propeller, and belongs to the
Cunard line The Scotia, also q Cunarder, but
paddle-wheel, made the trip from Queens
town direct to this port in eight days and four
teen hours, being the shortest passage on rs-
cord, and approached only by the vessels Of
the famous Collins line. II this latter line had
not been alphabetically legislated out Of ex-
istence, we should now have the finest and fast.
est class of mail steamers on the ocean. A
soon as we put down the rebellion we must
repair the error that has been committed IN
Encouraging native enterprise in this direo'
ton, and endeavor to raise our commercial
steam marine to the same point Of incon-
testible superiority to which our iron-clad war
vessels have attained.

Army.
BY the steamer Stepping Stones, which
arrived at Fortress Monroe on Tuesday morn
ing, bringing down load Of wounded soldiers,
we have information from Gen. McClellsn's
army down TO Monday night.
Guided, however, by the restrictions Of the
War Office, and from considerations Of the
public interest, we limit the publication this
morning Of the news and reports which have
reached us to the brief letter Of our Fortress
Monroe correspondent, content to await the
pleasure Of the government in reference to
the publication Of the full details Of the late
sanguinary Sighting on tie line Of the swampy
Chickahominy.
Let i suffice our readers for the present that
after several days OF the hottest work In the
history Of this war, both armies have been too
much cut up for any immediate renewal OF the
strn. ggle on either side; that Gen. Mcclellan
bav established his new base Of operations on
the,James river, within supporting distance Of
powerful feet Of gunboat, where he is await

superior forces Of the enemy, and awaits in
confidence those reinfercements which are on
the way to join 1t, for a direct assault upon the
rebel capital, In conjunction with our gun
boats
We reserve the discussion OF these late i'm
portsnt movements and their results in front Of
Richmond until the publication Of the details
We are disappointed In the expectation Of
celebrating our occupation Of Richmond with
the celebration Of The day OF our national
independence; but the Inevitable event

The FOURTH OF JuLY-To-morrow the ma
ton celebrates the eighty-sixth anniversary
Of its independence. This will be the second
Fourth Of July since the outbreak of
our rebellion. At this time last year
all Of us hoped and expected that by the
Fourth of July, 1862, the war would DO over,
and the republic reunited. This hope has not
been realized, this expectation has been dis
appointed, and to-morrow's sun will shine
upon country still distracted by civil war,
upon opposing hosts Of hostile brothers, upon
nation still in the mortal throes of recon-
atruetion and regeneration. We believe, how
ever, that the reunion which we have antici-
pated is only postponed and that year from
to-mgsorrsgg tae a ANN sssss g sa inaePen.
dencs will be celebrated by every citizen Of
every State, from Maine to Florida, aud
from Now York 70 California. Ii the
news Of the capture OF Richmond which
was received by way OF Memphis, had
proved true, the festival tomorrow would
have outrivalled that Of any previous
year. But the call Of the President for
three hundred thousand more troops il OF
itself q matter Of national congratula-
ton. Had this call been issued year ago the
war would unquestionably have been con-
cluded by this time; and now its issue marks
the beginning Of the end Of the conflict. We
know that the response to this call will be
prompt and patriotic. We recommend that
the letter of the State Governors to the Presi-
don't and his response thereto DO read at
every public meeting tomorrow throughout
the country. This Fourth Of July can be best
celebrated by securing crowds Of recruits to
orr armies, aud the reading Of the Declaration
OF independence should be moro prolific Of
volunteers than the drawing and CONSUMPTION

soldiers. No man has right 10 celebrate tn,

Ia OF REVOLUTION IN ENGLAND AND
FgAScE.-It is the fear of revolution at home
that has prevented the rulers of France and
England from long since mingling in our strife
II is not from any respect for the law OF ma
tons, nor from any regard for the right of the
American government to suppress domestic
rebellion without foreign Intervention, that
they have hitherto abstained from interference
II is because the people in those countries
regard the American republic as the hope OF
humanlty--the shield OF civil and religious
liberty oil over the world. Hence the French
and English governments are cautious in their
movements. Their plan is to manufacture
public opinion in advance against the United
States in order to prepare the public mind for
war; for Intervention means war If they did
not intend to attack US they would not assail
the country with measurelsss abuse. But IT
they ever draw the sword in support Of inter-
yentlon they will find that il 10 two edgcd, and
that Il will wound themselves more deeply than
the United States. The democracy Of Europe

Ben. WooD AND RAYMOND TUE PETs OF THE
LONDON TMEs-In yesterdays issue of his job
bling journal that 'Little Villain" Raymond has
an attack upon the Hon. Ben. Wood, on the
ground that the London Tines has recently
called Ben. Wood philosopher patriot,
scholar and gentleman. The rage of the Little
Villain" is clearly the result of envy Some
time ago the London Times applied to Ray
mond precisely the same praise that it now
bsstows upon Wood, and consequently Ray
mond is very jealous at being thus neglected or
forgotten. True, Raymond only delivered an
anti-national speech in the State Assembly,
and Ben. Wood is greater man than Ray
mond, for he is q member Of Congress. Still,
Ben. Wood did not deliver his speech
at all, and in all probability did not
write IL 80 that these considerations
quite balance Woods superior rank as an
ofiice-holder, and put Raymond and Wood
again upon an equality. We sympathize with
Raymond: for we think that his name ought 20
have been linked with Ben. Woods in the Lon
don Times praises; but then the Times does
not care for Canada any more, and is only
anxious to find pretext for mediation. We
advise Raymond, therefore, to make another
speech, or reprint bis editorial recommends
ton to depose the President and appoint
dictator, and wo will then promise him another
fret rate notice in the London Times, equal to
his deserts and 10 that which Ben Wood has
just received. Raymond aud Wood are about
Of the same calibre, and the anti-American
London Tines has searched and can search the
country over without finding two other such
splendid pets. -. .''

AN ABOLITION ROCKET AND Irs STICK-There
is man named Vincent Colyer, who signs
himself " Superintendent of the Poor" having
assumed the title with the evident object of
taking care Of himself This Colyer had a
darkey school down at Newbern, and taught
the contrabands' ideas-but not the contra
bands-how to shoot. Everything went along
quietly, and the aged darkeys in Coyer's
school had been taught enough to know the
pictures from the print in their primers, when
oil at once Governor Stanly was sent to take
charge Of affairs in North Carolina. Stan
ly Ii a conservative man, and the abolitionists
became alarmed lest he should restore North
Carolina to the Union. Consequently they
determined to raise o rumpus in order to turn
Stanly out, and Colyer was selected as the
abolition agent. He went Off as brilliant
ly as a rocket. He charged Governor Stanly
with shutting up his school. He came on
North and made speeches about It, passing
around the saucer at every meeting. Members
Of our donkey Congress offered resolutions on
the subject. Secretary Stanton wrote letters
and bulletins in regard to it with his charac-
tsristic vigor and ability. Deputations waited
upon the President. The abolition journals
denounced Stanly as scorpion scorpions
being famous for shutting up darkey schools.
The Emancipation Tor Confedefate) League Of
this city held q meeting about the matter. That
vulgar border ruffian Jim Lane, who fights
we'll in words only, made long speech about
Stanly. Colyer made several long speeches
detailing his grievances, and afterwards visited
the Sunday schools and collected the coppers
from the little boys and girls. The Rev. DR..
Tying, who ought to be ashamed Of himself and
his companions, also made q speech about
Stanly, and then went on to Washington to
talk to the President and order him to order
Stanly to order the school to be reopened.
Finally, Colyer went back to Newbern, and he
has just written q letter from that city, which
he wishes published a. an appendix to his
recent speeches He says that he misunder-
stood Governor Stanly; that the school was
never ordered to be closed, and that he will
now humbly and thankfully eat his own words.
So Colyer went up like rocket, and SO he
comes down like stick. Now, what have the
members Of Congress, Secretary Stanton, the
abolition editors, the confederates Of the Eman-
cipation League, Jim Lane, DR.. Tying and the
other fanatics concerned to say for themselves
What other abolition bubble will burst next?

The New MILITIA LAW OF TINS STArR-Else
where will be found brief synopsis of the
Militia law that passed at the last session of the
Legislature. The law itself is exceedingly
lengthy; but the synopsis referred to will fur
nish our readers an idea Of its general features.
Many of its provisions are merely the re-enact-
mcnt of the militia laws that have for long time
been on the statute books Of the State; and,
strange to say those provisions are the features
of the law which have met the strongest obiec-
tons. The old militia laws ofthe State, enacted
in times of peace, were, if anything, more ar
bitrary than this new Militia law; yet this is
not perfect, nor could it be expected that it
would be, under the long and useless delay
in the consideration of the bill, and the haste
with which it was finally passed, at the last
hour of the session.
The officials are now passing from house to
house and taking list OF these who are liable
to do military duty under this law
The public are therefore deeply interested in
knowing the provisions of the law under which
they are TO be enrolled. The great revolution
hat las turned the public mind TO the consde
ration Of military matters renders the law
doubly important especially in view Of the
new call for troops. But few years since
only limited number Of our people could be
induced on any consideration, to pay any at
tention to military affairs. They all looked upon
it as too insignificant for their. attention; but
now the very reverse Of that is the true con-
dtion Of affairs. Old and young are absorbed
in military matters, and are turning their at
tention to that science with az much zeal as
they did previously to their daily pursuits.
No sooner had We announced in our columns
that the President had issued call for more
troops than numerous applications were
made to US, by letter and in person, for
information how to proceed by persons
anxious to enroll their names among the do
tenders Of the country at the earliest oppor-
tunity.

ago. Our disorganizing abolition factions are
responsible for our present disappointments, as
they are for the results Of their original son
ward to Richmond" movement. Much blood
and treasure have thus been sacrificed to the
clamors and the political intrigues of thisradi-
cal emancipation or separation" party.
Fully enlightened, at length, in regard to
the true policy Of the Virginia campaign, let
us hope that the War Office will henceforward
cut loose from these entangling abolition al
liances, and that the sound Union war policy Of
President Lincoln will be supported by a
united Cabinet. In the meantime the Presi-
dents call for three hundred thousand fresh
troops demands another great effort for the
active prosecution Of the war from our loyal
States and people. Let the people, therefore,
of our loyal States respond in the celebration
Of the Fourth of July, in such manifestation
in behalf Of this war for the Union as will
promptly repair oil damages, and instantly
convince the Western Powers Of Europe Of the
folly and the dangers of Intervention.
