CAFE RACE, July 24.--The E ma, from Liv-
erpool 10Th and Queenstown l7th, passed this
point this evening.
The Jura and China, both from New York,
arrived out on the 18th, and their news was re-
oelved with grea. interest. The fighting before
Richmond was eagerly csnvsssed. Some Jour
mails regard 1t as great reverse for the North,
and reproach the American Governments for
treating IL In any other light. Others contend
that General Mcclellan has sustained no serious
disaster, and is practically nearer Richmond,
and may congratulate himself on the greatest
and most successful operation Of the war.
Hopes are freely expressed that more pacific
oounsels will aosn prevail at Washington.
The Times is particularly bitter and sarcastic,
and treats the matter as decided rebel vic.
tory Il thinks that there are good evidences
in the North that the beginning of the end is
not far off In another article, il denounces the
insoltn nee Of General Butler 10 his Intercourse
with foreign coDsuls, and says that is not the
way to conciliate neutrals and superiors, aud he
should consider whether he 10 not dong more
harm than good to the Federal cause
The morning Post says affairs approach
crisis which will necssitate some decided course
on the part of the North. Neutrals cannot
much longer remain passive spectstora, aud
the great question Is when shall the South be
considered to have vlndicated Its right to recog-
milton.
The daily News points out what would be
the feelings of England If eituated like the
North, and argues that secession will be crushed
out at all hazards

OUR COMMISSIONERS.

The following extract from an unknown person in
Paris, France, was taken from letter to Mr. Nor
ris in Yankeedom;by Lincolns spies recently. 1t
contains the opinion Of the writer of the fitness of
our Commissioners sent to Europe by our govern
ment and Of the u. s. Agents:
The Southern Confederacy" were unfortunate
IN their civil selection of representatives abroad
Mr.. Yancey besides his unfortunate record IN regard
to slavery, was not a man of the temperament and
weight for England. Judge Rost possesses neither
the force nor tact requisite and strange to say he
was distastefu to the French because of of the
very reasons for which he was appointed, viz be-
cause he was Frenchman. Butler King, who re-
presented the commercial interests of the State Of
Georgia, did what he could while here; but in o
matter of etiquette some disagreement grew up be-
tween him and the Others who refused intercourse
with him. Still have not been believer in the
magnitude OF what any individual up to the present
could have accomplished; and it must be claimed
for all these gentlemen that they had at least done
no harm. And indeed, have yet to see that up to
now we have not been as we'll without as we should
have been with Slideil and Mason. 0Gcourse Sdell,
at least is man of much greater cabre and fitness
than those who have preceded him as to the future
we have that to see. No one need doubt the wisdom
and foresight OF both England and France. Few
Governments require less information to enable them
to Judge how they should act and when they should
act, than they have derived from their own repre-
sentatiVes in America. And you cannot understand
the very little account OF all the agentS-regular and
lrregular-of the Federals, including Dayton, Weed
Co. When old Scott reached here 1t was the real
izaton of insignifcance utter, which disguised him
and drove him back not a solitary Frenchman,
high or low called upon him or saw him. or cared
or thought of doing it. Since 1 came here rem:
devious has been adopted every day of large num-
Der of persons belonging to and in the interest of the
South. 1t has embraced many French citizens Of
Amerca-not one of this conclave was perhaps, q
hn rFaAo "a, H,,ko
whole they have in various ways made themselves
felt, | feel sure.

GEN. ALBERT S. JOHNSTON.

The announcement of the death of Genel al Albert
Sidney Johnston, the gallant Commander Of our
army in the southwest, who has fallen, breathing
out his brave soul in the lap Of Victory, will be
received with profound sadness throughout our
country. lie the senior officer Of our army, and
in all the qualities that make great military COM
mander he had no superior on this continent He
was born IN Mercer county Kentucky, i'm 1903, and
was consequently ut the time Of his death 80 years
of age. lie was educated at West Point and on
graduating, entered the 9th infantry, and was
ordered to the West During the Black Hawk war
he acted Adjutant- General, President Lincoln
being at the time a captain Of volunteers. At the
close of the he resigned his commission, and
resided first in Missouri, next in Texas. War
breaking out in the latter State, he entered the
army as private and rose to high distinction He
afterwards filed the post of Secretary Of War; On
the annexation Of Texas TO the United States, john
ston raised partisan troop, which he commanded,
and accompanied General Taylor to Monterey. At
the close OF the Mexican he returned to his plan
tation. Under Pierce, Mr.. Jefferson Davis, then
Secretary Of War; made Johnston Colonel Of the
Second Cavalry, and he subsequently received the
command Of the Southwestern Military district.
At the outbreak or the with Utah he was chosen
10 command the expedition which crossed the Plains.
lie continued to ill that post with great ability
being in fact dictator IN the country which he
occupled-unlil the secession of the South when he
nobly abandoned the Federal flag
Gen. Johnston put in command Of the South
ern soldiers in the Department Of Kentucky and
Missouri, and invested with Pienipotentary author
ty to control all the military operations in the West
His Kentucky nativity, and his thorough knowledge
of the western country, coupled with his great abi
ty rendered him especially appropriate selection
to the important position which he held at the time
of his death. Gen. Johnston was six feet one inch
high, of large bony, sinewy frame, quiet and unas
stunning in manners, all conspirng to form person
of imposing and attractive address His brother,
Josiah Stoddard Johnston, who was blown up on
steamboat on the Red river, La, and killed. was at
the time in the U. S. Senate from that State the
second of Mr. Clay in his duel with John Randolph,
and was a man Of the most eminent abilities.
Peace to the ashes Of the noble soldier. A CRATE
full country will ever keep his memory green.-Rich.

The Committee of Safety of the Town of Whining
ton, to whom the citizens of Wilmington in public
meeting assembled referred all matters connected
with the construction Of one more iron clad gun
boats or floating batteries for the defence of the
entrances to the Cape Fear River and the Coast of
North Carolina, have constituted the undersigned
Special Committee of the subject sEeferred to them
The means of defence indicated whether by an
ironclad gunboat or by an nclad floating battery
to meet the impending exigency, should be con.
structed as promptly as may be possible; and it is
therefore Of vital Importance that we should ascer
tain without delay whether the necessary means can
be procured. Contributions for this purpose are
earnestly solicited. Should the amount contributed
not be sufficient or should ANY unforeseen contn-
gency prevent the commencement of this work. the
sums rendered will be returned to the respective
donors. Among the resolutions adopted at the
public meeting of the citizens Of Wilmington, it was
Resolved, That the citizens of the several counties
of the State requested TO organize Committees to
solicit contributions and otherwise to cooperate with
the Committee Of Safety in furtherance of the pro-
posed work.
The manifest Importance of the contemplated work
to the State at large justfes in calling on every
patriotic citizen of North Carolina to come forward
promptly and literally in aid Of its speedy accom-
pliShment.

ExToRTIoNERs AND SPEcULAroRs.-We have reason
to believe that speculation in the neeessaries or life
is still carried on in this place by several persons
They have and still boarding up large quantities
Of -four and bacon, and refusing to accommodate
those who are in want We have no hesitation
whatever in saying this should not be dl0Ued as we
honestly believe It is highly detrimental to the best
interests of our country. Before it is too late to
prevent damage, something should be done by those
who have authority to do SO, to put stop to such
an unholy business. No Christid" should engage in
it and patriotism ought to prevent every man from
following such loo doon business. 1t may do for
the greedy Yankee who makes his living by the
misfortunes of others and swndng, but for South
era man protesting loyalty it is too disreputabe,
and people may well doubt his loyalty to our coun-
try in this her time of trial
We very respectfully call the attention of the
authorities of the State to this great evil If they
do not by the strong arm Of the lae put stop to
it the people WILL and then who tell where the
vengeance Of an outraged people win stop.-Sdlis.

CAPTAIN JOHN II. MoRGAN-Bracery and Nod
esty.-It is undenable that true courage and mod
esty almost invariably go hand in hand. The Off
cial report of Capt. John H. Morgan of one of his
scouting expeditions beyond MurfreeSboro', Tenn,
which VIC published some days a. affords strik-
ing illustration Of this. In that report, Capt Nor
gan, after recounting what had been accomplished
by his little command says:
Returning alone in the direction of Murfrees-
boro', encountered picket of six men, who sur
rendered to Inc on being summoned, and delivered
up their arms"
The Atlanta Contederdcy gives the following state
ment of the affair as it actually occurred
While the brave Captain is so modest in announc-
ing the successful accomplishment of one of the
most daring deeds ct the war, we, must for the
benefit of history and the pleasure Of our readers
tell Of the affair it actually occurred
After having taken IS prisoners near Nashville
with his % men, Capt Morgan started them back
in three different detachmentS. While subsequently,
returning alone with the intention Of overtaking
them, as he crossing the pike he observed some
distance in advance q Federal officer. AccoStng
countryman who Was approaching him from that d.
rrctiOn, Captain Morgan ascertained that the Yam
kee was Lieut. Burns, with picket of five men,
who at the time were in house at the side of the
road. Instantly forming his purpose, Capt. Morgan
looSened his revovers buttoncd his Federal overcoat
SO as to conceal his own uniform, and galloped up
to the picket
"How are matters, Lieut. Burns ?" said Capt.
Morgan, addressing the Yankee officer.
IAN right Colonel" reported Burns.
"Where are your meny 2" asked Morgan.
"In the house there" replied Burns
"Nice way of attending to your duty, sir. Con-
slider yourself under arrest and hand me your
sword and pistol" said Capt. Morgan
His order was promptly obeyed, and Capt. Nor
gan then directed Burns to call out his men sngly.
AFTER requiring them to hand to him their sabres
and guns he ordered them to march.
I'VE are going the wrong direction, Colonel"
said Burns, after they had started.
"No, it's all right Tam Capt. Morgan &" said
the brave partizan to his thoroughly frightened
captives.
At this juncture Capt. Morgan was Joined by
one of his men, Mr.. Spaulding who had with him
four of the prisoners taken earlier in the day.
After marching all night they safely reached their
command with the ten prisoners.
All this but goes to show what can be accomplished
by daring, courageous, yet prudent and discreet
man. We should have Morgan, with his band,
to off and destroy supplies, burn bridges tear up
roads, and harass, annoy, and cripple the vile Hes
sian invaders every mile of road between the Con-
federase lines and the Ohio river.

DEAR SIR: Some malicious person or persons have
been very industrious in circulating report that
my father, F. B. Satterthwate, concealed his crop
of cotton to prevent its being destroyed by the mill
tary authorities and have insnuated that his purpose
in doing So was that he might be enabled to sell it
the enemy. Wherever my father and his conduct is
well known, am sure that no contradiction of such
base SANDER is necessary, but for fear it has or
may reach some persons to whom he is not we'll
known, may | ask Of you to state what you may
know of my fathers conduct in regard to his cotton
and very much oblige,
Yours very respectfully,
