Nor PARTIES But TIE CoUNTRY.-The
following is an extract from the call of the
Peoples Convention of the State Of Massu-
chusctts:
'The country is greater, and better, and
hoier than party. Party and party names
must be abandoned in this crisis. While
you have the name, you have the thing-it
cannot be otherwise II we are willing to
give up the name, most surely we shall not
give up what it represents. Ii is worse than
useless to ask for that union which comes
from one party giving up to another-no
such union can be formed it is delusion
and Il mockcry to insist on it, NO Party
can ever he accomplished as fact, by re-
quiring one party to yield up their dogmas
and beliefs, and adopt those of another. If,
then, the people mean to unite in this terri
bic crisis, to save the country, they must
come together irrespective of all party, as
one man, and pledge themselves, their lives,
their honor, their all, to support TO govern
ment and the laws against this most accursed
rebellion"

The stirring news from America brought
by the steamer Europa, and subseqcnt
steamers was the theme of universal COM
mcnt.
The defeat of General Popc's army was
regarded rs most disastrous for the north
but the valor displayed by the northern
troops in the second Bull Run was generally
admitted.
The London Times admits that the FEEDER
al troops fought with more than ordinary
courage, and that their two DAYS fighting
rcscucs their military character from rcproach
but everything except that honor for them is
dust. The gallant stand which the Federal
army made, only takes the sting Of disgrace
out of their overthrow.
The London Daily News admits the scvcri-
ty of the defeat of the Federal army, and
thinks there will be more bloody battles i'll
Maryland.
The London Times argues that the FEEDER
al government is brought to the verge of
ruin, and believes that such a term may he
safely used when it is no longer safe to exc
cute the function of the government in the
! capital.
! 1t urges that bad as the prospects of the
! Fcdcrals now appear, there is no element of
better prospects in the future.
The London Star considers the northern
cause hopeless, because the emancipation of
! the slaves in the southern States has not been
| proclaimed, and urges the adoption of that
measure.
The London Herald thinks that the North
| will do well to consider the cXpcdicncy of
making compromise with the South at
/ once
! The London Morning Post. points out the
/ grounds on which the Confederate govern
mcnt may claim recognition from the Euro
| pcan Powers.
The question Of substitutes for cotton at
! tract more and more attention, but practical
men express but little faith in the substitutes
/ offered The excitement in iutc and hemp
. has subsidized.
1t is reported that three of the finest
steamers in the Clyde. the Iron, the Giraffe
and the Clydcsdalc, have been sold to the
| Confederate Government
The Liverpool Telegraph says, besides the
commissions committed to other ship bull
dcrs by the Confederate government which
are being pushed forward with all possible
despatch, Il large iron plated ram is being
constructed ON the river Mercy, without any
attempt being made at cOnCcalmcnt.-
This ram will he of the most formidable
character, and will attempt to run the block

The same journal says, that Il vessel is
lying at Liverpool, taking in cargo of iron
plates destined for plating southern vessel
which is awaiting their arrival i'll Charles

General jackson Criticised.

The Philadelphia 1mcyiran, commenting
on the movements of "Stoncwoll" jackson,
says:
jackson is hardly ever successful in q
battle, and as q fighting General he seems
to be Of no great account; but in rapidity
of movement and stragctical ability he
undoubtedly cNccls all other Rebel Generals.
He seems, indeed, to be a man of great
resources TO say that .hie success arises
from his sudden and rapid movements and
his knowledge of the country is great
mistake 1t is his great fertility in cNpcdi-
cntS, his infinitely varied tricks and devices
to appear and disappear, to attack and re-
treat, to escape to surprise, to turn flank.
Ills retreats are marvcls Of otratcgctical
skill But once put him on a battle field.
in pitched battle against a powerful and
skilled enemy, and he is pretty sure to bc
beaten.
lie was beaten by Calwalladcr nj Falling
Waters, by Shields ut Winchester, 10y Miroy
III the mountains, 10y Fremont in the valley,
by Porter and other Generals in all the
severe battles during the seven days before
Richmond, 10y Banks ut Cedar Mountain, 10y
Mcdowell near Ccntrcyillc, by Pope at
Manassas. Not single signal victory in
the field attcsts his fighting qualities. lie
has cut of dctaclmcnts surprised posts, and
done wonders in that way In fact he has
very little tactical skill, and his ideas of q
battle are confined to hard fighting all day
and marching of at night. If hcand Long
street undertake to fight a pitched battle
at Manassas against our whole army he will
lose it, unless Lee or Davis should happen
to be ON the field to direct the manUuvrcs,
as We suspect they were ON Saturday.

There are many conflicting accounts of the
shooting of General Nelson by Gen. Davis.
About week ago Nelson placed Davis in
command Of the Home !oTces of this city.
At night, Davis reported TO Nelson the
number of men working in the intrcnch-
ments and enrolled for service. Nelson
cursed him for not having more. Davis
replied that he was general officer, and
demanded the treatment of gentleman.
Nelson, in an insulting manner, ordered him
to report at Cincinnati, and told him he
would order the Provost Marshal to eject
him from the city,
This morning Governor Morton and Gen.
Nelson were standing near the desk of the
Gait House, when General Davis approached
and requested Governor Morton to witness
the conversation between himselfand Nelson.
lie demanded of Nelson an apology for the
treatment he had received last week. Mel
son being little deaf. asked him to speak
louder. Davis again demanded an apology.
