Governor LEToHER, Of Virginia, in a
letter dated the 9Th, to the Richmond
Enquirer, emphatically denies that he is
in favor of a reconstruction Of the Union,
or that he has ever been in correspond
encs with FERNANDO WooD, directly or
indirectly before or since the war com
comced. He says that the separation is
and ought to be FINAL and irrevocable'
and that it will be as enslaying as II
there was an impossible gulf between
the two sections. The Governor gives
cold comfort to those Northern politicians
who talk of restoring the Union by a
compromise and We hope that his letter
may have a salutary effect for this reason

Ply THE POOR oRPHAN-

The very faces and doleful appeals of some
Of our citizens, on taking the oath of allegi-
ance, before the Provost, reminds US of the ap-
peal which Patrick made to the Judge when
standing up to receive the sentence of the
court. Patrick had been arraigned for murder
ing his father and mother, and the evidence
before the jury had shown the circumstances
to be of the most revolving character. On be-
ing asked what he had to say why the sentence
of death should not be passed against him, he
said, with most doleful accents: "Nothing,
your Honor, except that hope you will bear
in mind that am a lone orphan in the world,
and mitigate the sentence accordingly" Some
of our citizens, who have most eoolly stabbed
the Government in every possible way, very
plaintively plead that the Provost should bear
in mind that they are poor orphans in this
world, and should, therefore, be dealt with
very tenderly.

Impression of the Foreign News

Although the news has been anticipated, the
letters and papers reveal the fact that the rebel
sympathizers in England and France backed
by a large portion of the cotton manufacturing
interest of both countries, were making the
most strenuous efforts to impress the Cabi-
nets and the people with the belief that the
Union cause was almost lost By the three
days fighting before Richmond, of which they
had heard by the Etna. There is little doubt
but they had succeeded to some extent, in con-
sequence of the jealousy of the war power of
the United States which now exists in most of
the countries of the Old World. Gen. McClel-
Ian is assailed in London with respect to his
strategy, his dispatches, and the taking up Of
his first position near Richmond
The new tariff of the United States is at
tackled at every point--both in intent and en-
actment-by the London Times and some of
the Paris newspapers. The Dublin Freeman 8
Journal of the 10th instant-the latest paper
sums up the expression of feeling towards the
measure thus: 1.-THE new United States tariff
is universally condemned throughout England
and France. Journalists whose speciality has
been matters of the economic and commercial
class, pronounce it to be simply perfect pro-
hibition on the importation into, at least, the
North American States, of all European goods !;
but as against England, it applies with espe-
cial severity and harshness. The undoubted
effect Of this new arrangement will be, that
almost Immediately on its coming into opera
ton on the first of next month, the prices of
nearly all English and French manufactured
goods will be doubled-in some instances, tre-

Fight Impending at Bolivar, Ten

nessee.
Intelligence reached US yesterday morning
which warrants the conclusion that bloody
and desperate battle is about to be fought at
Bolivar, Tennessee.
It has been known for some time, that
large bodies of rebels were gathering at Tu-
pelo, Bonneville and other points, but for what
purpose was not so patent. Bragg, who was
days ago menscing the large body of Federals
at Corinth, has, it appears, turned up IN the
very face of Col. Ross brigade at Bolivar, III
overwhelming numbers. At last accounts,
reaching up to Sunday morning, he had quite
succeeded in surrounding Col. koss; but this
by no means argues that he viii undoubtedly
capture him.
Col LAWYERS brigade left jackson Sunday,
and during the day doubtless arrived IN the
vicinity of Bolivar. These two brigades, it
was thought, could give the rebel General bat
tie, or hold him in check until Gen. Grant
with reinforcements arrived from Corinth.
The language of our informant is, Bragg,
| by this time, has surrounded Ross, with 5000
| men, while Gen. Grant in turn has surrounded
him with 10000" This may not be the pre-.
| else condition of affairs, but such, it is be-
lieved will be the end accomplished ulti-
mately.
| We shall look for news from that quarter
eagerly. A great battle is imminent-one
that may involve thousands of lives and co.,
sequences of almost vital Importance. The
conjecture now is, in advance of active hostili
ties, that Grant will "bag" Bragg and hi;
whole army.-Cdiro Gazette.

LATE NEWS.

FoRT MONROE, July 27.-There is large
rebel force above the junction Of Appomatox
and james rivers. They came down from
Richmond. They are commanded by Stone
wall jackson, and instead of looking after
General Pope. it is thought they will attack
Suffolk.
General Pope takes the field tomorrow.
The lase order of Gen. Pope's requiring res
idents within his lines who do not take the
oath of allegiance to emigrste, is already be-
coming fruitful in Fredericksburg. Thirty of
the leading rebels of the town have gone to
Richmond with Their families, and others are
preparing to follow.
A considerable force of rebel cavalry eight
before last came down on Gloucester Point,
opposite Yorktown, seized and carried off a lot
of contrabands that had accumulated there
and also forced into the rebel army all the
males that could be found there capable of
bearing arms. They then set FIRE to a lot of
ship lumber and left.
The cavalry are almost daily prowling about
that region, seeking plumber of any kind, pres
sing into the service all the men they can find
who they think can be of any use to them.
Similar depredations are being committed in
the vicinity of Williamsburg, whether by the
guerrillas or regular army, it is hard to de-
termine as they often 60 clothed alike. By
this disguise they assumed authority which
otherwise they could not in their masked
characters.
LOUISVILLE, July 27.-Hon. Joseph Holt
arrived this morning.
NEW ALBANY, Ind, July 27.--The Ledger
SAYS that the rebels are congregated in consid-
cradle force at Hawesville, KY, and are boldly
and defantly insulting Union citizens.
The Federal ram, Hornet, with troops, has
gone there.
Henderson and Greensboro were quiet on
Friday. Both towns are strongly garrisoned
by Federal troops, who arrest all persons who
talk or act in favor of the rebellion.
The military prisons in Louisville are so
full that daily commitments are made to the
Indiana penitentiary.
Passengers from Henderson say the guer-
rillas have appeared with pretty strong force
opposite Mound City, and it was feared that
they would attempt to burn the Federal gum
boats building there.

Ex-Goy. W1cKLIFFE.
Says the New York Tribune

DAYS bnS NEW 4OfA 4TsOttHcs
"The Noble Advertiser has letter which
states that the family of the Hon. Mr.. Wick
life, the Union member of Congress from
Kentucky, has entirely deserted him on sc
count of his adherence to the Union cause.
Three of his sons are in the rebel army, his
two daughters, one married to Judge Merrick,
formerly Of Washington, and the other to
Senator Yulee, have given him up, and even
his wife declares that she cannot side with him,
and viii never again cross the Ohio"
Gov. WICKLFFE has done some worthy
things. He prefers to stand with the Union
party. He has little if any faith in the success
of the rebellion. But how comes it, if his pat
riotism be of the highest type, and of the right
stamp, how happens it, We would ask, that the
wife Of his bosom, and the children of his
household, incline so much to treason2 Does
not that Book, which makes no mistakes, as
sure us, that the child viii walk in the way "a
which he is trained2 The miserable results OF
Gov. WIcKLIFFEs family training are enough
to warn the nation and the friends of the
Union against placing him in position in
volving much responsibility. He may be q
man of kind feelings and amisble intentions,
but surely he is not the man to lead in such
times as these. If he leads in such way as to
plant his entire family under the banner OF
Secession, the Stars and Stripes may have
much to fear, but little to hope for, from bis
influence.

There are more singular inhabitants of Coy
lon trees than monkeys. The flying foxes
hang from them like fruit. The fight Of these
creatures Is directed by means of s membrane
attached to the inner side of each Of the hind
legs, and kept distended at the lower ex-
tremity BY projecting bone, Just as a fore
snd-aft sail is distended by a "gaff." Over
the entire surface of the thin membrane Of
which they are formed, sentiens nerves of the
utmost delicacy are distributed, by means of
which the animal is enabled during the dark
ness to direct its motions with security, svoad-
ing objects against contact with which, st
such times, its eyes and other senses would be
insufficient to protect it. BY day they sus-
pend themselves from the highest branches Of
the silk-cotton trees, hanging by the claws of
the hind legs, with the head tarned upward,
and pressing the chin against the breast AT
sunset, taking wing, they hover with q muir
muring sound, occasioned by the beating of
their broad membrsneous wings, around the
fruit trees, on which they feed I'll morning,
when they resume their pensile attitude as
before. They hang IN such prodigious num-
bers that the branches often give way beneath
their accumulated weight. They fly in clouds
as thick as bees or midges. When at rest or
asleep, the disposition of the limbs of the fly
ing fox is most curious. At such times it sus-
ponds itself by one foot only, bringing the
other close to its side, and thus it is enabled
to wrap itself in the ample folds of its wings,
which envelope it like mantle, leaving only
| its upturned head uncovered. Its fur is thus
protected from damp and rain, and, to some
extent, its body is sheltered from the SUM-
As it collects its food by means of its mouth,
either when on the wing or when suspended
within reach. of it, the hying-fox is always
more or less liable to have the spoil wrested
| from it by its intrusive companions, before it
can make good its way to some secure retreat
! in which to devour it unmolested. In such
conflicts they bite viciously, tear each other
with their hooks, and scream necessarily, till,

some place of safety, where he hangs by one

the claws and opposable thumb of the other,
he hastily reduces it to Jumps, with which be

CAIRO, July 26--Stesmers just arrived at
Evansville from Tennessee river, bring news
of rebel raid at Florence, Alabama, on Tues
day last. They entered the city and burned
ali the warehouses used for commissary and
quartermaster stores, and all the cotton in the
vicinity; also seized the United States steamer
Colona, used for conveying army supplies over
shoals, and took all the money belonging to
the boat and passengers, and then burned her.
The property destroyed is said to be of great
value. A small detachment of MitchelPs army
was captured. They then proceeded down the
Tennessee river to Chickasaw, Waterloo and
the vicinity of PASSPORT and burned all the
warehouses which contained cotton. Another
band of forty rebels attacked a wagon train
near Pittsburg Landing and captured sixty
wagons conveying commissary and quarter
masters stores.

The prospects OF the harvests in France are
described thus in letter from Paris, dated on
the 9TH of July:
The accounts received of The progress of the
harvest continue to be satisfactory. The mild
weather which has prevailed for some days
past has produced the best results. In certain
districts the injury done to the crops by the
rain and wind is more than trifing, but in the
great corn growing countries the proprietors
expect that the produce will be superior to
that Of fair average crop. 1t is not possible
to appreciate even approximately the value of
the wheat crop previous to its being cut and
thrashed. II may, nevertheless, be seen at
present that the corn crops which promised
such rich harvest two months since will not
exceed the produce of an ordinary year.

fame, and we are inclined to put the Missouri
Senator in this class. He has lately written

RUSSIAN TROUBLES.

The Emperor of Russia sits on no easy
throne He is surrounded with difficulties.
1t is big undertaking to govern so vast an
empire of such conflicting materials. Some
men labor and others enter into their labors.
Some monarchs SOW the seeds of discomfort
and murmuring, and others reap the bitter har-
vest. But whatever oppression the former
rulers of Russia may have favored, the present
Gar has proved himself friend to the best
interests of his subjects. Yet, like our own
beloved country, Russia in her distracted con-
dition, is experiencing providential retribu-
lions for the iniquities of former generations.
How the matter will end time must determine.
We believe that the great empire in Eastern
Europe has not yet fulfilled its mission. 1t
has much important work yet to do. The
Emperor we are satisfied will be sustained.
His liberal policy of government may be dis
liked by aristocrats and complained of by
radicals, but the future will justify it. Every
lover of civilization viii join in the hope that
the Gar may succeed in restoring order and
harmony to his empire.
