SIX DAYS AND FORTY.

At the head of this column the reader will
find Major-General SHERMAN's first order, in
which he states his intention to respect and
enforce the orders of his predecessors. The
hopes, therefore, that Een of rebelious senti-
ments entertained Of the recall of Gen. Ho-
vEY's order No. l, are at an end and all men
owing allegiance to the country and wishing
to remain under its protection, must make
their allegiance known and certain, or betake
themselves to the liadsiof rebellion. This is
precisely as it should be.
When this rebellion was yet in its infancy
its leader issued an order that within forty
days all men unwilling to endorse it must
leave the precincts over which he pretended to
preside; and hundreds upon hundreds were
driven away. As they sat in the cars, "Cap-
tain " HALEMAE and his bandit squad, under
governmental authority, searched their persons
and baggage, and took from them whatever of
money they had above fifty dollars.
From the type case and the foundery, from
the desk and the wholesale house, men were
turned out for the sole crime of preserving
their loyalty to government that had always
protected and never oppressed them, and now,
forsooth, those who upheld the hands of these
rebel authorities, now come forth whining that
they are i'll treated when they are driven from
the military lines of a Federal General, though
on every street corner they stand daily talking
and Matching tresson Cowardice and ineon-
sisteney ever go hand ia hand. AS military
necessity, the order is justified, as an act of
civic polity, it is wise, and in view of the past,
it is just. We are therefore pleased to find
that with his usual frmness and sagacity Maj.
Gea. SHERMAN intends to uphold and enforce
it. Under its operations insult to the flag, in
ternal plotting and reasonable correspondence
will cease, and Memphis be again peopled
with men who give loyalty and support in re-
turn for liberty secured and property protected.

The London Times, of the 4th inst, con-
taiRed an article on the "Fourth of July" which
the reader will find reprinted on another page
of our paper. From its first sentence to its
last, it is one bitter insult to the people OF the
United States, North and South; and reveals
an almost fiendish exultation at the present
distracted state of this country. If in the
past our people have been given to over self
eongratulatisn, surely the greatness of their
achievements, the youth of the nation, and
the wonderful progress that it made, were
ample excuse for the same But amid all our
youthful vanity, we were ever too humane to
glory over the sutferings of the Mother Coun-
try, whom we fed in her hunger and pitied in
her humilistions.
We are satisfied however, that the great
British people do not share in the meanness
and malicious Civilizations of paper which
once occupied the honorable position of q
leading organ, but which during series of
years has continuously fallen from its high
estate to its present doubtful position.

GENERAL HALLECK.

On the 10th instant, General HALLECK at
Corinth, issued special field order, in which
he said: "That in giving up the immediate
command OF the troops constituting the army
of the southwest, he desired to express his high
appreciation of the endurance, bravery and
soldierly conduct which they have exhibited
on all occasions, and to express to commanders
of army corps and their subordinates his warm
est thanks for their cordial cooperation. He
says the soldiers of the West have nobly done
their duty, and accomplished much towards
crushing this wicked rebellion, and if they
continue to exhibit the same vigilance, courage
and perseverance, it is believed they will soon
bring the war TO close"
The Philadelphia Inquirer says that General
Halleck is on his way to Washington to take
his position as General Commanding the ar
mics of the United States. General Halleck is
to remain in Washington. Generals McClel-
Ian and Pope are to continue in their present
commands.

LATEST NEWS FROM EUROPE.

The City of Washington arrived off Cape
Race on the 18th.
THE United States corvette Tuscarora ar
rived at Southampton on the 7th instr from
Cadiz The object of her visit was unknown.
In the House of Lords, the African Slave
Trade bill has been read a second time. Earl
Derby expressed fears that unless treaty was
made with France like that of America the
putting stop to the slave trade would be in
effectual.
Earl Russell said that France had declined
to enter into similar treaty, but he believed
she would offer no objections to the exercise of
its provisions.
GEN. PRIM had arrived in England.
The cotton manufactures of RoHen had
sent deputation to the Emperor, to represent
the difficulties they were laboring under. A
similar deputation from Lisle waited upon the
Emperor.
THE Paris Constitutional says that the glory
of the French arms once indicated ard
money matters settled with Mexico, proceed
ings against her will terminate.
AFTER considerable debate, resolution
against the English forces interfering in China
was rejected.
LORD PALMERsToN confirmed the statement
that Russia had recognized Italy, and said
that he believed Prussia would do the same.
RUMoRs that France would back out from
the Mexican expedition continued.
THE italian minister had again strongly re-
pudiated the rumors of ltaly's interference in
Mexico.
The Oppaaione Rationale says that Russian
papers receive the rumor that France, in con-
sequence of the stubbornnesss of England
against doing so, has invited Russia to join
her ia an offer of mediation to America.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Herald believes that the French government
entertains very serious intentions of interfering
to end the civil war in America.
The London Time has daily editorials on
the position of affairs in America. 1t says
that the discovered States seem to be fast APP
preaching that point where they must become
two reasonable nations, or go on to anarchy
and ruin The offer of our mediation would
only be received with insult.
THE London News gives currency to rumors
that Gems. Scott, Banks and Pope, were about
to enter Mr.. Lincoln's Cabinet at Washing
ton 1t thinks the accession of Gen. Scott in
dictates that military operations are to be pros
ecuted with the utmost vigor, and to be kept
from the civilian interference which has
hitherto, through jealousy, impeded the move

any allegiance e. their authority and govern
ment, and that will strictly conform to the
rules and regulations of Trade and Commerce
in this city,
The Board of Trade, however, differed from
Col. WEBSTER much, and refused to hold the
oath he drafted as sufficient, and wrote him
an answer which Mr.. KING carried in person
Col. WEBSTER then informed Mr.. KING he
could do nothing further, as the Board of
Trade we're under the control of the Treasury
Department.
Such is the statement OF Mr.. King; and
such is the complaint he has to lay before his
government, at time when that government
is doing al that it can do to prevent its people
from plugging into war with the United
States. The military authorities acted justly,
therefore wisely, and the responsibility, if any,
must rest with the Board of Trade. The for
giving generosity of the government would
certainly prove Lut i'll repaid if that petty
board should have afforded the newspapers
and Hopes, and Gregories Of England an OPP
portunity to renew the Mason and Slidell out
cry. That the letter and spirit of treaty and
Of law are on the side of Mr.. King cannot be
questioned; and we trust that rapid recogni-
ton of his right, and conforming with his
lust claims will avert from us an imbrogio
which mag cause much annoyance and cannot
possibly confer any benefit. Judging from
| the past, we repeat, that we do not think
the Board SO acted to give foreign power
cause Of complaint G ratitude to the govern
ment for its forgiveness, and unearned conf
dence, should alone have prevented action
with sueh motive; and we, therefore, conclude
| it was a mere mistake, which needs only to
be Indicated to be rectifed.

CITY COUNCIL.

The City Council convenes to-day. We
trust its first business will be an investigation
of the eligibility of its members. The charges
brought forth against it are of the weightiest
and have to great degree shaken confidence
IN the legality of the Board The motives
whence the expose sprang are of no interest
whatever to the public who are only interested
in their truth. If the Board has legal right
to legislste for the city, it owes it to the now

better pass the city government wholly into

only to preclude future litigations and chaotic

WASHINGTON, July 1s-The bill releasing
the suspected traitors who are held as prisoners
in the North, although it passed the House,
failed in the Senate. Hard as it appears to
imprison men without trial, it is known here
that many of them from the Border States are
guilty of the basest conspiracy. It is therefore
q question of free amnesty for discovered trail
tors, before the rebellion is even checked, or
Of imprisonment until the Government can
safely be magnanimous.
The rumor of the New York press to-day,
that Stanton is about to resign and Halleck
take his place, is unfounded. Gen. Halleck
will doubtless have higher position than
that. SlGMA.

This little bit of correspondence touches the
quick. The rash speak often, and often go
UNDECIDED. The calm startles others when
they themselves are startled. The equilibrium
and equanimity of Secretary Seward is pro-
verb. No man's temperamentis better known.
No mans opinion has more weight. He has
name for foresight and sagacity. But it is
the calm of the man that gives these their cur
rency New York listens to him as to an
oracle. Men knock at his door inquiring
anxiously: " Waterman, what of the night 2"
No one will call the Premier an alarmist. He
has been criticised for over hope, for superb
bundant buoyancy. But it is this man who
has at last spoken nervous, anxious words:
"You must help Diven and Valkenburg
raise men. All is well if we instantly show
our strength. / send him (Diven) home for
that purpose"
Diven, who is sent, speaks. Fresh from the

tition. " We must end this war now or fight
