INSTRUCTIONS SENT ABROAD BY THE
REPRESENTATIVES OF FOREIGN NATIONS
IN REFERENCE TO THE BATTLE BEFORE
RICHMOND The U. s. State Department
has been informed, through the channels of
our Legations abroad, that nearly all the
representatives of European nations 10
Washington had sent dispatches to their
respective Governments 10 reference to the
seven days battle before Richmond, which
they describe as defeat for the North, and
a blow from which it will not soon recover.
Some of these dispatches represent the
army on the James river as being in COM
plete state of decentralization, out of service
for the present, and state that it will likely
take months and months before it becomes
as efficient as it was before the battle took
place.-Neu York Herald.

MoCLELLAN's PERsONNEL.-A misap'
pfehension exists as to the personal appear
ance of the "Juveuile Napoleou,"' among
the many who have never had an opportu
nifty of looking at him, except on paper
Instead of black hair, moustache and goa
tee, those copous appendages are of the
sandy order, the hair of the head being a
shade darker than that over the lip. He
is unblessed with whiskers, except of a
patch work order, which he usually keeps
out of existence for "strategical purposes, "
being always inclined to cultivate the sci
ence of "making an impression" His
forehead is not high and commanding, but
rather inclined to be low, yet full and in
dicative of a strong mind. Nor are his
eyes dark and piercing, but blue aud hu-
morous, emitting the expression Of a good
natured fellow, fond Of his toddy and a
good joke. His face is inclined to fulness,
complexion light; the lower part of the
face expressing frnlness. His form tends
to fullness, but has been hardened some
what by services In height, he is about
5 feet 8 inches, giving him proportion
which, on horseback especially, may, ad

Nelson, at McMinn9;'ie, to Buell., have
been captured. The dispatches have been
handed to the military authorities here
Nelson complains that his pickets habitual-
ly desert, to be paroled by the Confederates,
and represent affairs in his department as
deporable.
MOBILE, August ia special despatch
to the Tribune, dated Grenada, 18th, says
that Capt. Maxwell, with 40 guerrillas, at
tackled one hundred Federals, near Friar's
Point, yesterday, killing II and capturing

Gen. Breckenridge has issued congrat'
ulatory address to his army. He claims to
have gained complete victory by land al

which, however, are lost by the failure Of
the Arkansas to cooperate. All accounts
agree in saying that the Yankees were beat

YANKEE MISTAKES IN REGARD TO THE
SOUTH. The following communication,
dated New Orleans, July 10, appears in the
Boston Courier .-. -. -, ,....5. .
We have been laboring under certain
grave errors in respect to this rebellion,
which it is high time were corrected. .
We have supposed there was a Union
party in the South. There is none: 49,.
We have supposed the rebellion could be
quelled in this campaign. 1t must last for
years. ,... .-., ,.-
We have supposed half a million of troops
were sufficient to subjugate the revolted
States 1t will require at least a million
and half :: ..t.,.
This is the most serious of all our errors
this constantly under -valuing the strength
of the enemy and over-estimating our own
strength. The time has arrived when we
must come up to the strength of our en-.
deavor. Not man less than million and
half will be necessary. We must at once
take measures to raise this number Of troops
or the contest will be prolonged indci
nitely .. ... .-.
We have supposed that after subduiue
the rebels, small force would suffice tc
enforce obedience of the law. Such may
be the case twenty years hence, but for the
present, say for the next ten years, we shall
want standing army of not less than three
hundred thousand men to preserve order in
the South. The people literally hate US.
The women teach hatred to their children
The clergy preach hatred from the pulpit
The growing generation will be even more
embittered against US than the present.
Nothing but force can keep the county
For this purpose my estimate of three hun
dred thousand men is moderate.
One great source of the fatal errors we
have committed, is the delusive statements
furnished to the press Here we are com
PEELED to suppress the truth, to prevent its
Injurious influence on our rtroops. At home
it is otherwise ....--.
If the people were apprised of all facts
in the case, their patriotism would be equa
to the emergency, and we could take he
field next fall with the million and half
without which we cannot expect success:
1t is most important they should know
the truth, and the whole truth.

A BOLD PROTEST FROM Maryland
The Annapolis ( (Md.) Gazette, heretofore
the organ Of the administrator party in
the Sixth Congressional District, speaking
of the late pronunciamento. Of President
Lincoln to the Border States Congressman,
delivers itself as follows: &
But the most singular feature of the ad-
dress is. a vague aud timid allusion to the
Abolition pressure brought to bear upon
the President, and his evident conviction
that the destruction of slavery 10 the Bor-
der States would be sufficient stop to the
Abolition Cerberus Give the dogs that
bone and they will readily furnish men to
push further South, doubtless in the hope
Of freeing. more negros. Conversely, we
suppose, if they do not get what they de-
mand. no more means will be furnished for
the prosecution of the war.
This is our Interpretation Of the Presi-
dents meaning If it be correct, we would
like to know if such humiliating speech
has ever before come from the White House?
md is it not an absolute and positive dec.
lara,ion that7the war is for the negro, and
and not for the restoration of the Union ;
that the President is opposed to such a pol,
icy, but is obliged to adopt it? We can
read the seeming riddle in no other way.
And, if our reading be correct, we have no
hesitation in. expressing the hope that the
days of the Republic are numbered. We
wish to hear Of no more slaughtered thous,
ands as an Offering to the Moloch of a petty
and contemplate fauaticism. We wish no
longer to hear vain boastiug of the strength
Of our institutions. Let them perish, and
let the vast ruins be perpetual proof that
men are little better than beasts.
Our language may be deemed too strong;
but We have expressed our convictions in
the premises. And those convictions are
none the less firm because of the fact that
we uucomprouisingly advocate emancipa-
ton in Maryland We advocate it because
We believe it will be of immense advantage
to our State But we are not prepared to
do that or any other act at the nod Of crazy
fanatics, WHO profess to prefer the destruc-
tion of the country to the existence of sia.

Euohantress, prize vessel, Capt. Smith,
prize master, He was taken on board the
Albatross, placed in irons, and thrown a.
,longside of the boiler of the steamer, there
to live, if possible, or die. Re was kept in
this place until the I'd of August, and then
confined in Moyamensing prison, in a felon's
cell, until the 9th Of Feb, 1852, when be
was removed to Fort Lafayette, and on the
s1st May to City Point, Va, to be exchan;
ged for Col. Cochrane. The exchange, as
will be recollected, was not effected, as the
government would not accept the Yankee
terms: Capt. Smith was then remandedto
Fort Lafayette, where he was ordered to
sweep and keep clean the fort, which he
refused to do. He was then, as were all
other prisoners OF war who refused to work,
placed 10 irons, and there kept for three
weeks, when he was removed to Fort Della
ware to be exchanged.
Captain Smith was tried and convicted of
piracy in Philadelphia.

An interesting incident is related to us
by one of the prisoners: An attempt was
made by the Yankee officers at Fort Colum-
bus to make them work They first took
private L. Frendenthal, Of the German
Volunteers, and commanded him to take
hold; Frendenthal protested, and said he
was willing to work for the Southern Con-
federacy, to which he owed his allegiance,
but as a. prisoner Of war his enemies could
not make him work. The Captain there.
upon drew his revolver from his case, placed
its mugzle on Frendenthal's forehead and
said be could choose between working and
having his brains blown out. Frendenthal
jumped aside and told him, opening his
shirt in front, don't shoot me like coward;
here is my breastif you want to shoot, The
Captain backed down but had f. put in
irons for two days, after which the matter
ended and no more attempts were made to
make them work at Governors Island, N Y.
