Mr.. Clay had taken his leave OF The Czar and

Taylor 10 letter to the Tribune, thus reports
Mr.. Clay's farewell remarks:
"Your Imperial Majesty will see, from the
letter OF the President Of the United States
which have the honor to bear. that he recalls
me at my own request. Had consulted my
pleasure rather than my duty, should not
have exchanged the attractions which surround
your Imperial Majestys court for the hard
ships and dangers of the field of battle. By
this devotion to my country, your Imperial
Majesty will measure the depth Of my gratitude
that you have magnanimously stood by US In
our time of need, Of humiliation, and Of national
peril.
That gratitude Is felt by every lover of our
great Republic at home and abroad. Should
| survive this war, to enjoy that more stable
peace which believe God reserves for our
country, It shall be the purpose Of my life to
cultivate and strengthen that gratitude for
your Imperial Majesty, your house and your
people. My countrymen know already what
YOU have been to us--I shall tell them of the
clemency, OF the irmnsss, OF the sublime cour-
ago which your Imperial Majesty displays In
your magnanimous Efforts for the progress and
glory Of your own people. To have personally
known and enjoyed the gracious consideration
of the most ilustrious among living men, who
will be known in oil time not us the Gear Of
all the Russias, but as Alexander H. will be
to me the most precious Of lifs's memories.
Sad in leaving your Imperial presence, go to
mingle my aspirations with the great millions
of the western world, that God will prosper
and have In His holy keeping your Imperial
Majesty, your Imperial house, and the iortu.

The army Of the Potomac has again resumed

miles. Here they encountered two regiments
Of infantry and a battery posted behind earth
works. Fire was Immediately opened on them
by Capt Bsnson's battery and q section Of
Capt. Robinson's. The infantry was not en-
gagged.
The firing lasted about three hours, when
the rebels iugloriou.ly fed by the river road
towards Richmond, hotly pursued by our
troops, who succeeded In taking one hundred
Of them prisoners The loss on our side at this
point was three killed and eleven wounded.
Capt. Benson had bis thigh hroken by q

when they fled. Col. Averill followed them

without losing man.

The Washington correspondent Of the Cncin-

Secretary Of the Navy:
"No man has been more misunderstood by
the class Of papers whose zeal Uutruns their
judgment than Secretary Welles. Wherever the
Navy Department has had half chance |, has
done brilliantly, and its present energy in push
Ing forward its new iron clad navy Is beyond
all praise.
"Mr. Welles is as vigorous in his views Of
the policy required ~ he is energetic 10 the
management of the affairs OF his own Depart.

"'You'rs right, SIR said he, yesterday, II Ia
pity that We had to waste nearly two msnths
at Vicksburg, and didn't take 1t then. II the
army would only have given us five thousand
men, we could have had 1t. But what's the use
Of shelling men out of batteries, when you have
nobody to take possession, and when they have

TO march In again the moment you quit shell

wouldn't give them to us, and 30 the Mississippi

"What about the Arkansas he said again.
Why, our commanders out there have force
enough to eat her up, and hardly have mouth

they'll be responsible, If they let the Arkansas

perhaps, readers would like to have the
secret Of the vindictive assaults on Secretary
Welles with which a4ew papers that know no
God but Mcclellan have abounded. It 90
happens that the Secretary's opinions about
the defensive theory Of conducting war Of
invasion have become known to them-hence,
all these tears over the inefiiciency of the Navy
Department. once heard the Secretary con.
denim those opinions into nutshell admirably.

instead Of clubs =
His dislike to have his bes. fleet cooped up
In the James river, guarding an army that
ought TO be placed In o position to guard IT,
self, has also become known as well as the
fact that he has declared 1t impossible (while
our army fails to co.operate) to keep the river
open as q base Of supplies, while the rebels
can plant batteries on so many commanding
points that the gunboats can't reach, and have
so large On army to defend them with-a view

marks:

FRIGHTENING OR FRIGHrENED.-At the wal
meeting of last Saturday, at Lancaster, Penn
sylvania, Morton McMichael, Of Philadelphia, Ii
reported to have said:
~ do not hesitate to say that, If there be moi
at least 600 900 men placed In the field before
the first frost, Pennsylvania will undoubtedly
be invaded! And believe II, ! believe that
the foe, grown insulsnt by success and strength
ened by resort to all the arts which tyranny
can employ, embodened and furious beyond
all measure, will, unless prevented, be upor
u.s."
This may have been said as a judcious means
of frightening those who heard II into enlisting
or 1t may have been said because Mr.. McMi-
chael really believed IT, We are, ourselves
quite unable to see that Pennsylvania is in any
particular or immediate danger Of being in
vaded.
