It NAV not be known to most Of our
readers, but it is nevertheless true, that for
two months past, or ever since that f. |
nous "change Of base" on the Chicka-
hommy, our foreign relations have been
in preca1ious and alarming state. The
efforts Of the secessionists in Europe, back

tocratic governments Of the continent to
crush the growing power Of the Republic,
and the howlof distress which is going up.
from an the manufacturing districts in
consequence Of the want Of cotton and
the loss of American trade, could not long
lave been resisted, accompanied as they
were by tue undcniab]c want Of success Of
our arms at home. 1t was probably known
to the President and Cabinet that between
France and England plan Of interference
was almost matured for a joint effort, in
which not only these, but two or three 9TH
CT powers would have participated; and to
defeat their Vaccinations and TO dispel the
popular idea in Europe that the struggle h1d
no. relation to the Slavery question,
and thus range the moral sympathies
of all mankind on our side, and make
Interference impossible, the President
snd Ills advisers have been brought,
though later and hesitatingly, to the adop-
ton Of this magnificent stroke Of policy
to the taking Of this first step towards the
conquest of an honorable, safe, and an
enduring peace. Tic question Of inter-
vcn1iou is nov finally settled, and all the
energies Of the Government can be direct
ed to affairs at home, which have, up to
this time been directed as much in refer
e,lce to what Europe would do, as in refer
cnce to the demands Of the military situa:
tion. We have only this war on hand, not
half dozen contingent and larger con
tests against which to provide. And if
with this terrible weapon which the
President has forged, in the hands Of our
Generals, if with the sympathy Of all the
world, and with the aid Of four millions Of
bondmcn whose life blood will tingle with
the new hopes and sensations Of the free
dom tllat the proclamation tenders, VIC
cannot put down the rebellion, We can only
say 1hat for some mysterious, but wise
purpose, Heaven has decrccd our defeat
We believe that the President las chosen
bis time well, a. d now the salvation Of
tic Republic, the hopes Of Liberty for mai
kind, the happiness Of our SUCCESSORS for
generation upon generation yet to come,
depend upon the ardor, caruestncss and

FINANCIAL AFFAIRs.-From the n. Y. Evening
Post Of yesterday:
The stock market opens weak to-day, losing
the improvement established yesterday afternoon
on the war news from Kentucky. The account OF
the battle given in the morning papers contaips
some discrepancies Of dates and other detail and
consequently falls to stimulate the market prices
falling on Kay per cent, with some desire to
realize. The absence Of financial relief from Con-
gress, together with the ill-Datured tone of the
foreign papers by the Arabia also tends to check
any tendency TO improvement. The position OF
the specuiatots, at any rate, has been an uneasy
one, and II would require liberal buvinp on the
part Of the public to relieve them of their stoc
at anything Ike current prices. The hitch In the
paper money scheme has sadly di.iolntsd their
calculations, and the market seems to need the
support Of some great military success which
shall AZ once vitaliZe the whole Union cause
