Shortly after, juSt as the force on an
other part OF the field wavered before q
Calling fire, and were about to retreat,
affairs were in critical condition, and
our right hard pressed by overwhelming
numbers, was in danger OF being rrpus-
ed, Gen Mcclellan threw himself among
the men, checked the retrogade move
ment, inspired the men into confidence
and vigor, and in few moments drove
the rebels from their position. The en-
thUsiaSm Of the troops is wonderful. The
wounded in the amhulances swing their
caps and cheer with the multitude when
ever the General passes, and his ap.
proach is always heraIded by the shouts
Of infantry and rattle OF drums. Even
the dying in the hospitals mention his
name with those of their parents, and
patients, while undergoing painful surgi-
cal operations, have frequently been seen
to forget their suffering, and ask to be
lifted up that they might see him pass
by.
An incident is related of boy belong.
ing to the 9th New York, whose name
could not be ascertained, who stood in
front OF bis regiment while il engaged the
enemy at short range, in which position
he fired all lis cartridges, then took his
dead comrades cartridge-box and fred
the entire contents, in all, ninety.fve
rounds, not receiving a scratch The whole
time, notwithstanding the ground was
covered with dead and wounded all a
round him. The regiment was ordered
10 charge a rifle pit where the rebels
were concentrated, and our young hero
was the first to enter it, the enemy flying
at the approach Of the Uayonet.

Solid 1eaM and unmisiakabe thrift
meet you everywhere, This year Lon
don is more thronged with visitors from
all parts of the world than ever before
We visited most of the places Of note.
The international" as it is universally
called, was the first in order, Its name
is quite appropriate. There the nations
meet and compare notes, and as one prom
inent inscription has it, "AIernateIy learn
and teach" All the dependencies OF the
British Crown are fully represented.
A day spent in the International only
serves to give one some kind of appro-
pirate idea of the amount and variety of
the work done under the sun. The effect
upon the mind is the result Of no one
striking object.
The exhibition as a t0hole appeals with
overpowering eloquence to the mind and
heart, until you are cnraptured perhaps
even to tears. An hour after YOU fad
yourself weary, worn, and like the Queen
of Sheba when she bad seen SoIomon'S
glory, having mo more spirit" in yon.-

with the Exhibition. No one can ever

FRONTIER GUARDs.-This name,
which has heretofore belonged 10 an ar
,illery company al Coventry, will hence
forth be associated with a company Of
nine mon,hs' volunteers, recruited at that
place. Notwithstanding the great haste
with which this company was collected
together, it is equal in all respects toany
company that has been recruited in the
county. Not few Of its members are
men of mature age, who have families
and farms at tie call Of their county.
The company was organized on Thurs
day of last week, by Lieut.. Isaac Kim
ball of the Third Vermont regiment, who
was appointed for that purpose by Gov.
Nolbrook. We give the complete roll Of
company on our first page.

Our troops have all the most unbound

it is to much greater figure now.
The enemy were slowly but surely
driven before US at every point. Our
lines have encroached upon them after a
most desperate resistance for two or three
miles. No gun has been captured on
either side. That we have driven the
enemy from every position he has occu,
pied, and held with the utmost persi,ten-
cy, is the great fact which places the bal
ance of this days fighting most decided

Of his case he may yet accomplish some
thing, but his army IS badly cut up and

We have had very heavy loss, proba-

envy have, without doubt, suffered much
more. The masses Of men which they
have sacrificed in fruitIess attempts to

HAND In HAND.

Ii is remarkable how abolition and seces-
sion have gone hand in hand together ever
since the war began, aud how they are yet
linked together. The main stay of this
wicked rebellion has been tie hope 10 the
secession leaders; and now the main hope
OF the abolition di.unionists in preventing
this war into an abolition crusade, is foreign
Intervention.
AT The close of the late abolition conven-
tion in Boston, Wendell Phillips stated that
il Abraham Lincoln did not issue procla-
nation within six months declaring freedom
10 the slaves, Louis Napoleon would do il,
and that, in such case he (Phillips) would
welcome foreign intervention This now
appears 10 be the main hope Of ;he at oil
tlonists No severer denuncialions of Pres
ident Lincoln have been tered than this
club OF garrisonians uttered One OF the
women OF this sort, in speech al the con.
Vertion. sac that Abe Lincoln was as bad
as Jeff. DAVIS. Garrison held there wa
some difference between the two-a choice
oferis. and he chose the least: bat Phillips
was on The side OF the woman, and promis-
ed emancipation soon, without foreign arms,
but certainly, if President declined, with
foreign arms.
Thus abolition and secession are invoking
foreign interyenIon-lhe former 10 declare
the slaves free-the latter 10 enable them Ia
sustain their rebellion. Jacob Barker, OF
New Orleans, has hit the nail squarely on
the head as TO !he feeling of the political
TINS country willing 10 see the present
war continued, that the growing power they
have So long dreaded may be broken 10
pieces, or so much exhausted as TO be harm
less"
