Foreign Intervention

The correspondence Of the New York
dailies, whose pay depends entirely %
Che amount of interesting newsl they are
able 10 furnish indtheir letters and dis
patches, invariably start a sensation rel
port about foreign Intervention, wheneveI
there is a dearth Of news on other topics
About once or twice month a Munchau-
senism Of this stripe is dispatchedto the
Herald, Times, or some other daily, which
the veracious correspondent has obtained
from the Secretary Of State, or the Pres
ident. The trick has become stale, and
now produces hardly ripple of excite
ment on the public mind. IL is too well
understood TO produce any other effect
But we feel assured that even should any
fereign nation be weak and wicked enough
tointerfere in our civil war, it will prove
an injury of comparatively small magni-
iude, and Of brief duration. The follow
ing paragraph from the Journal Of 81. Pc
Sershwo, the leading Russian Government
organ, is more important than any other
hint Of Intervention that has yet come
over the waters w a.re.r4r .f rrsl
"Russia entertains lively sympathy
for the United States Of America, based
on mutual friendships and common inter-
ests. Their prosperity she deems necessary
for The general equilibrium The mainten-
ance of the Union is the condition of that
power and happiness which she desires
for the American nation. We are in q
position to affirm that the friendly and
conciliatory views of the Imperial Cabi-
net have not undergone the slightest
change. On the contrary, the events
which have taken place, the sad expert
ence Of war, Of its calamities, its burdens,
its exhausting results, have rendered ra-
Their TO confirm than to ,oeakeo their force
This avowal, in connection with the
frequent declaration of warm sympathy
for us, made lately by the Gar gives
good reason to believe that if the French
or British Government, venture to aid the
rebels openly, the great Russian Empire
will at once declare itself our active
ally. There would be no leisure then for
our transatlantic foes to aid the South
ern conspiracy, In addition to this, the
loyal States would then become one blaze,
not of passion, but of fervid and holy
patriotism, which would pour armies
forth like living torrent, and extermin-
ate the rebels. p Pa 'oaTs1q 90 wu-

A New Orleans parson who was re-
Gently summoned before General Butler,
said that, by the order requiring the cit
liens to take the oath, the General had
caused fearful amount of perjury.
"Well," said the General, " I'm not re-
spOnsible. / haven't had the teaching
of these people these twenty years, as
you have" There is to be, by the way,
a pretty general overhauling of the Epis-
copal clergy of this city. All who don't
come up to the ritual are to be sent

By the arrival Of the United States
transport Osiole ut New York, from Hat

left Newbern, North Carolina. about Oct.

1900 men and several gunboats. The
expedition was in command of General
Foster. Its destination we could not

The destination Of this army was said
TO be somewhere on Albemarle Sound,
which seems TO be confirmed by the cir

number about fifty thousand, and TO be

that they may conclude 10 give battle.
