striking indication OF an absence OF "Politlcai
90 common sense" in this community that the
mpertinences of foreign journalists, who have
taken neither time nor pains to acquire q
knowledge of the people and the institutions Of
the country. should be msgnifed to the i'm
nortapce of wel-matured and well-infOrmed
public opinion. Unless Lord Russell has put
his name to that which be knows to be ct va
rance with truth, the misstatements of the
hot.ie portion of tho London Press and their
representatives here might have been corrected
many weeks ago, on question not merely at
fecting the interests of this country, but the
peace of the world; and much of the mis-
chief they have done might have been avoided.
Herein, therefore, we have some reasonable
cause to be aggrieved-that with document
in its possession not only significant OF peace
full adjustment of the difficulty, but containing
all the apology which the trespass complained
of demandeG,. the English Ministry gave no
earlier announcement which would have over
turned the conspiracy for involving the TWO
countries in war. IT, however, what We have
regarded as the ill;judgcd and suspicious retl-
cence of the English Government could be held
as proclaiming final divorce between them
and the irresponsible conductors OF the warIiAe
Journals, the temporary injury sustained might
well be overlooked; and in this country we
should all have learned, at q moderate cost, to
hold at its right value press not only devoid
of "political common sense, but destitute
alike of honor and of common honesty

tiDguishable from o declaration of Natou,I
bankruptcy. Every one sees and feels the ne.
cessity for retrenchment, economy, and TIA
most strenuous opposition to all schemes 70,
filling the pockets of individuals at tho publs
cost. For Congress to take this unlawful
Mileage is to give encouragement and cheek to
the whole innumerable crowd of jobbers, pecu.
lators and public plunderers. Hands off!
But what odds, some will cay, whether
they take their second Mileage now or NEXT
year, We answer ]. 1t is forbidden by law.
,. The Nation is in pecuniary trouble, and
thousands Of public creditors are in urgent need
of money which the Government owes but il
unable to pay them. There are regiments in
the service which have served four and five
months, and have never yet received q dollar
Of pay. 1t will be Hagrantly wrong for Con.
gress whose Members receive their $3.50 at
the end of each month, to pay itself Mileage
a year ahead, when it cannot pay those who
are serving the country at Si3 per month
for services rendered months ago. 3. Those
who have the face to vote themselves second
Mileage now, in defiance of law, will doubtless
vote themselves a third, in kindred defiance,
at their next session. 4. But even if they did
not, some will resign, others die; and their
successors will claim and receive Mileage, as
they ought. We beg you, therefore, Members
who mean at some future time to look your
constituents in the face, not to touch this
Mileage nor vote it to others. And you,
constituents, who realize the
Importance of integrity and frugality at such q
crisis we exhort you to reflect none who
take dollar of this plumber. Mark and avoid
them

SPEAKING OF GUNS.

case in favor of certain Government contracts
for the manufacture of Small Arms, but he
does not meet the real question. The Nation
is IN pera, and not dollar of her fuDds-inad-
euuate at best-should be spent or mortgaged
for any purpose not Of the most positive and
imminent necessity.
If we are ever to put down the rebellion we
shall do it within very few months. We
have more men, and more means, wherewith
TO attack and overcome the rebel armies than
we snail have a year hence, should the war
continue so long. If We beat them, we shall
have guns enough: if they beat us, the same.
One way or another, we shall have peace be-
fore she clo.e of 1862; and if we cannot whip
them with the arms we now have We never
shall. And, since we need every dollar We
have OF can raise for present, pressing uses,
we protest against spending one dollar for arms
that are not TO be in the hands Of our soldiers
before the lst OF May. Ii We should want
more arms after the rebellion is put down, let
them be then provided for; for tho present, let
US use every dollar where it will tell in tho
present conflict.

which are to be ia active service have crossed
the bar and will be ready at once for often
sive operations. He is Likewise in good spirits
with reference to the success Of the expedition.
A map of the Sound and the surrounding
parts accompanies our account. Our losses,
though considerable, are not serious, and the
onward movement of the expedition will not
be checked by the disasters which befell it at
the outset. There are some matters concerning
the fitting out of the fleet however, which
must be looked into very sternly. severe
examination of the officers Of the Pocahontas
would seem to be called for, also.

battle was not full of sound and fury-sig-

planning and executing, under one gener-
al head. No field officer had any opportu-
nifty to display himself in any extraordina-

A Delayed Letter about tho battle OF
Cross Keys.

Gross AGYbs
MOUNT JACKSON, Va, June II.
We are camped here for the present after
an unprecedented march and hard fight
at "Cross Keys, OF Port Republic, and the
men and horses are recruiting. -
There are most absurd and confused ac-
counts Of Fremonts fight with Jackson AT
Port Republic, in all the papers have
seen. do not understand any need ofsuch
yarns. Here are few plain facts.
Gen. Fremont left Franklin, Pendletou
Co., on the 25th of May and arrived at Po:t
Republic on the morning of the 9th OF June
with his whole army-l60 miles. He had
not half rations for the men, and not quar-.
ter. rations of forage for the horses aud
mules. We crossed the mountains east of
Moorefeld in the night, forded the South
branch of the Potomac and its East fork
three times; forded the Shenandoah twice
aud hridged it with pOntoons in two other
places were delayed two days by high wa
ter, and after we had got upon Jaekson's
track, we found every bridge and culyert
for sixty miles. destroyediwhtch added to,
tue delays. And yet Fremont kept close
upon tho heels of the rebel general, for Eve
days, overtaking him ten miles east Of Har-
risonburg, eight miles from the Stanton
turnpike. +.
Jackson made stand At Cross Keys,
with all the adyantage of position in eleTa-
ton and cover by timber, and was driven
back half . uile by the right wing of our
army, in less than three hours. Our iufan-
try were at first in the open, field, and
the enemy's in the timber; the rebels
were drove ont of the timber, through
an open held into another belt Of, timber.
beyond a ravine. There the rebels halted
until our exhausted men retired 70 their
FIRST position, where they, ,camped. On. the
left the rebels were driven back twice, and
were.t then allowed to advance, for certain.
