The late news from England shows that the
British government has no purpose to inter-
fere in our affairs. The motion in parliament
TO recognize the confederates was discussed
and withdrawn. In the course of this discus
sion, Lord Palmerston in the following speech
related the position Of the government -

bring it under the notice of the house In ,ho

one wish on the part of any man in this coun-

should end but very much doubt whether
the only end which can satisfactorily be look

likely to be accelerated by angry discussions
in this house, where the war has been enacted
by the champions of either side. 1t is true
that many things have been said gratifying to
the feelings of both parties, and on the other

A WAR PoLICY.-The commandcr-in- chief
has inaugurated new plan for conducting the
war. Any plan is better than no plan at all.
The negroes are now to be used, and the
strength of our own men husbanded. There
is appearance Of life at headquarters. We
have insisted that when it became military
necessity to put muskcts into the hands Of the
southern negro we should say, "Amen, and
give them enough of it," Some of our read
ers would smile to hear us say soberly and
coolly that we are no abolitionists That is
true, and for the refined moral distractions of
fanatics we have nothing but disgust But if
we need the negro to help put down the reb-
els we say use him. Use him as much as is
required Take him as q muntion of war to
beat back rebellion with, as you would take
horse or a hOwitzer. If he can be trained to
kill rebels put the rifle into his hand and that
most quickly. There is no time to be lost. If
slavery falls, let it fall. If the master sink
amid the crash, let him go. Let not this
Union be riven if to save it the slave and the
master must stand face to face. So every
patriot will and must say. And so we say

REBEL STORY OF IRoN GUNBoATs.-The
Chicago Times publishes dispatch from
somebody at Memphis, stating that he has
learned in some way, Through rebel Sources"
an important fact, which he states as fol-
lows =
''Ien iron-clad gunboats, built in England,
have arrived off Mobile harbor, and three
more are on the way. These constitute the
fleet ordered by the southern confederacy
They mount from ten to thirty guns each, and
are said to be mailed with six-inch iron. The
blockade was run openly by dint of superior
strength and superior weight of metal. Mo-
bile Is now considered open to the world with
the support Of her newly acquired power"
We feel authorized to doubt this story I'M
til there is some better warrant for believing
it. At present it seems to us very improba-

Recruiting Affairs.

At a war meeting in Taunton, Col. L. w.
Pierce was introduced as a man who had sac
rificed his own right arm to the cause of lib
erty He was greeted by the audience with
grand OutburSt of applause. He stated that
although he had lost one limb in the service
of his country, he should, if permitted, return
to his regiment whenever his health may be-
come suitable, and sacrifice, if need be, his
other arm, or indeed life itself. Seventeen
citizens of Chilmark on Martha Vineyard, who
enlisted, refused to receive the bounty offered
by the town. At a war meeting in Great Bar
rington, James Sedgwick offered his gold
watch to the first four volunteers. 1t was
promptly taken. Ariel Crippen offered his
silver watch to the ninth volunteer, and twas
caught up like a hot cake. Mark Humphrey
offered new mich COW to any man of family
enlisting. Forty men were enlstedin ten days.
At meeting at jamaica Plain, Wednesday
evening, fifteen to twenty OF the finest young
men in the place volunteered. The quota Of
Maiden will be completed by Monday next.

The President and the New York Conn
mittee.

Correspondence New York Tribune.
WAsnNGToN, July 30.-The New York
committee had long interview with the pres
ident to-day, the particulars of which they
seem to be unwilling to communicate with
any fullness and precision to the public.
From conversation with members, however.
we have CLEANED this much: They laid before
Mr.. Lincoln the resolutions with respect to
the desrableness Of a more thorough policy
in the conduct Of the war which you have
heretofore published, and they urged the is
suance of orders from the war department
that shall tend to quicken recruiting for the
old regiments.
In the course of conversation on the latter
topic, the president said that 100. 900 men en-
listed in the old regiments would be worth
more than 100000 in new organizations, and
he sent a note to the war department request
ing the secretary to issue the orders asked for
by the committee. The president said that

of harmonious relations between the recruit
ing officers Of the general government and

THE REBEL FORCE AT RICHToND.
Surgeons and others who have reached
Washington, under the new rule for exchange
OF prisoners, are unanimous in stating that the
rebel government is gathering an enormous
military force at Richmond. They are bring
ing reintorcements in day and night from eve
ry accessible point of the south, and now our
returned prisoners are confident they have
near three hundred thousand men in and
around Richmond. All talk of rebel demon
stration in other directions are feints meant
to conceal their real design, which is to cap
ture or destroy McClellan's army and then
march against the north. Everything con-
spires to show the necessity Of filling up the
old regiments OF the armies before Richmond
without an hours delay. The whole power of
the rebellion is gathering there for a final
blow.
THE CONSPIRACY IN LOWER MARYLAND
The conspiracy which has Just been ex-
posed and broken up in the lower counties of
Maryland and upper counties of Virginia had
not less reference to smuggling recruits, in
formation and supplies to the rebels, than to
transferring deserters from the national forces
away rum AilC liitdtlC VI WAL he cOnSplr-
acy had depots at Gordonsville Fredericks-
burg, Alexandria, and on the lower Potomac,
and supplies of clothing. Union deserters
were disguised in new suits, their uniforms
concealed, and in this way hundreds were
taken from our lines The rebel agents at
Gordonsville and Fredericksburg have been
arrested, and many of their accomplices so
clearly discovered that their capture and pun
ishment are sure.
MCCLELLAN READY FOR ACTION.
FORTRESS MONROE, July 29.-The John
A. Warner, mail-boat from Harrison's Land
ing reports that a move of some kind is
hourly expected with the army. Yesterday
Gen. Mcclellan issued orders for eUe1'y man
to be really for action at moments notice.
1t is thought that an attack from Gen Jack
son may be expected at any time, and it is
not known whether he will attack Gen. Pope's
or Gen. McClellan's army, and if Gen. Nc
Clellan's, it is not known in what quarter.
Such are the speculations INDUCED in by
officers and men who know the feelings and
apprehensions of the army. 1t is the pre-
vailing opinion in the army, that an immediate
movement is to be made; that the actions of
the rebels Of late have indicated it, is unmis-
taxable, and that Gen. Mcclellan is ready
for them is equally true, no matter from what
| quarter they may approach him.

LAUGHING GAs.-Dr. Coltons lecture, last
evening, was very pleasant affair, although
he was not as universally successful with his
subjects as on previous occasion. Several
persons, however, appeared quite as happy as
they could reasonably expect to be in this
world. The last subject, a lady, treated the
audience to a recitation of the new and favor
lite song, "We're coming, Father Abraham"
and afterwards made very pretty and touch
ing appeal to their patriotism. 1t was worthy
of ''Seventy Six and will doubtless have a
good effect.

CITY AND COUNTY.

CAMP WooL.-The number reported for
the 34th regiment, yesterday morning, was
920, and for all the other regiments 374-
making total of 1884, About $50 were added
yesterday, in squads from various towns, in.
Guiding Is from Athol for the 9th. This will
make the number now in camp about 1850.
Captain Coolidge, of the United States army,
arrived in camp yesterday, for the purpose
Of mastering the soldiers into the United
States service. 1t appears that the authority
of the officers detailed for the purpose is not
recognized, except that Of Capt Goodhue, a
regular army officer, who mustered in about
200 Of them, so the process had to be gone over
with again. The 34th regiment were sworn
in in a body. Capt. Coolidge will remain
here about a week for the purpose Of muster
ing in recruits, after which time he will be re-
lievcd by Lieut.. Colt who will be detailed
here for the purpose. Capt. Coolidge pro-
nounces the 34th regiment the finest looking
body of men ever organized into a regiment in
this state, they being all picked men, being Sc
lected with such care after so rigid an exam
ination.

earliest period; and other serials published by
Samuel Walker of Boston. The Southern
Rebellion is carefully prepared by William A.

own efforts and the merit of his books alto

we presume was never before carried out of

the towns and counties west of us, where we
trust he will meet with the same generous
success which, in this city, has crowned his
brief and modest campaign.

GEN. MITcHELL.-The Washington cor
respondent of the New York Evening Post,
speaking of Gen. Mitchell, says :-"He is too
dashing general to suit Buell., or even Hal
leck, and it is now generally understood
that he will not be given COM
mand." We are unwilling to believe this
without considerable qualification. Some
of the officers under Buell., through jeal-
ousy or something worse, have done what
they could to injure General Mitchell; but it
would be too much to believe that ga dashing
general does not suit Gen. Halleck, and can
not have a command under him. This
Washington letter is evidently little too fast.
