Mr.. Spence, the. Liverpool correspondent of
the London Times, has another letter in that
Journal complimenting the North on the valor
of it's armies and the skill shown by its Generals
in Maryland. He says the North is now in
position to make peace without dishonor, but
that the golden opportunity will be lost, and
adds: As the North cannot be the first to ac-
knowledge the independence of the Confeder-
stes, Europe should remain the stumbling block
by recognizing the Confederate States and the
North may then follow its example.
The New York correspondent of the London
Times, writing under date of Sept 10th, says it
is evident that the decisive battle of the war is
not yet fought. All that has happened is but
the preliminary to the final onset that is to make
or unmake Mcclellan, but let the onslaught end
how it will, it is not likely to make OF mar the
fortunes of the Confederates. He adds that the
resignation or abdication Of President Lincoln is
debated as matter of course.
The Army and Navy Gazette says the South
has tried the offensive and failed. The Confed-
crate army has shown great daring and much
tenacity, but has been beaten
Gen. Mcclellan has shown that, as a soldier,
he is equal to Gen. Lee or Stonewall Jackson
The division of the Confederate forces was q
great mistake, but great Generals would have
known how to convert that mistake into defeat,

soon to be on the tapis. England and France

The Paris Bourse was much excited on the Sd,
