THE discussion in the Senate, Yesterday,
Is enc Of the most significant tokens of the
times. Tat body which only recently
stumbled anu begglea at The coniscation
bill, should have become 50 transformed
in Sentiment as to debate all la7 On q
1Hasure for actually enabling blacks to

Te]atiyes) by bearing arms in the service of
the government, is decided and starting
response to the recent reverse to our
arms before Richmond. The goyerrmen:
is il peril. I: needs men, and must
Iave them. It needs policy and will
otherwise cometo q miserable conclusion
in this war. And this policy is being
rapidly shaped By events tr2nsn::5ng. Be-
fore the week passes the blacks will be &
recognized constituent portion OF the

TO US that the blacks who fought under
Jackson were unpleasant and dis.

patriots in our day to experience painful
shock al the contamination Of blacks with

The bill to enlarge the Illinois and
Michigan Canal, as OUT readers arc aware.
was postponed: by small majority, to tue
meeting Of Congress. in December next.
That fact will render the very able speech
Of our indefsGsable representative, Hon.
Isaac n. Arnold, to be found On the third
page. not 3 whit the less instructive and
valuable. His success in bringing this
great national work so fayorably and 50
prominently before the country is the
highest possible compliment to his tact,
ability and industry as q legislator, and
should obtain for him the respect and tue
gratitude, not only Of his o7n constituents,
but Of all tie loyal, liberty loving States Of

HILTON BEAD, Wednesday,, July 2, 1862
Something Of a furry Was caused here on
Monday evening, By, reports received from
Gen. Brannan. that the enemy, in force vari-
ouely estimated from 1000 to 5000, had col
lected at Grahamsyille on the mainland, about
two miles in the rear Of Port Royal Ferry, and
were preparing to cross the creek for an stack
upon Beaufort. It w8s understood that Gen.
Hunter immediately made request to Com.
Dupont that gunboat should be sent up
Broad River and Whale Branch, to operate
fo1nd Port Royal Island, and destroy any RATS
O. boats which the enemy might have prepared
II we many small creeks and inlets penetrat-
il fSbis sRampy ground.
i Is believed BY some here, that having be-
come aware Of the abandonment of james
I5land, and with it the prospect of au inmedl-
ate attack upoa Charleston, the rebels now
seriously contemplate concentration of their
forces in and around Grahamsrille, where the
cfeek dividing the island On which our forces
are stationed from the mainland is narroHest.
Acting upon this faith, Gen. Hunter is re-
mediate crossing over At Port Royal Ferry
with such forces as he can collect from those
withdrawn from James Island, in order to
give the enemy bat.-::ao before ther can fortifv
GranamsVaile, Or collect there any such suff.
Gent force as to be seriously threatening. I
think, however, from my best means OF OBJ
se1Tation, that the affair will end in smoke
the confederates probably having made this
demonstration in order to divert tie attention
Of our troops from their operations looking
toward the reduction of Charleston TniS5
view is confirmed By the fact that within the
past week strong reconnoiteriug parties of
rebels hare penetrated down the Savannah
River toward Fort Pulaski aud the adjacent
Sandstone company OF the 4Sth NeR YORK,
on picket duty at Daufuskie, having counted,
on Sunday night last, as many IS twenty-five
eamp fires in the direction of our abandoned
batteries at Bird and Venus Points.
Gen. Hunter, am informed, Is making pfe-
partitions, in conjunction with the naval forces
under Commodore Dupont, for series OF
boat and gunbost expeditions, to har7ass the
whole sea coast Of Georgia and South Carolina,
seizing every town and village accessible bY
water communication and establishing thereat
posts which will remain until superior force
uf the enemy shall make retreat necessary. In
this msnner it is hoped that all loyal slaves
cf rebel masters within our reach may be al.
forded an opportunity Of taking the benefit Of
the coufsca1ion act, should that much-needed
measure receive the sanction Of the President,
Thia course will also have the effect Of com
peIing the rebels to keep an army OF observa-
sion along the coast three OF four tunes out
Numbering the strength Of Gen. Hunters
command; for. with the quick facilities Of
Hater trlnsitr 500 men can Keep 5000 busy IN

LATE EUROPEAN MEMS.
Further by the Grent Eastern,

New YoNK, July 9.-The following are ad-
ditlonal adsices by the Great Eastern:
Lord Brousham explained his speech in the
House Of Lords On american affairs, that he
morstratc with the Americans on the civil
Var. Gloss it over as they might, the ,rlr
threatened fatal results 10 the character Of the
American people.
The Mor.i"y Rst editorially contends that
the mastery confederate movements in Vir-
einia have compelled the immense armies des-
tined Tor its conquest to cease the offensive
and content themselves Tith acting on thc de-
fensiye.
The city article Of the Da:y lA'ews remarks
that the latest news porteuds the almost in
definite post tponement Of peace.
In the House Of Lords, Brougham dcplored
tho continuance Of the civil strife aud lis con
SEQUENCES to Europe. He thought it imposi-
Bile for England TO interfere, but expressed the
opinion that the Americans would see the
suicidal character Of the struggle and come to
anlicable arrangements before they lost the
respect and affection OF Europe as a nation.
In the House Of Commons, Mr.. Hopewood
asked if the government intended to take
steps for mediation. PAImerston expressed
deep sympathy with the suffering operatives
md tulogized their endurance. He Wishad it
vas IN the power OF the government to take
America could only sgeTayate matters. Both
England aud France would be delighted to
take mediatory steps when fitting opportu-
nifty arose. He should look upon 1t both as
duty and pleasure.
A1ier another debate on Notifications, the
sovtrn1nent bill vas read a second time bF
15S to Sc.
The operatives at Blackburn had meeting
to urge mediation, but overwhelming oppoaf.
Ton was shown, and the government WIS
nLally called upon to try and re-esrablEsh the
confidence Of the Southern planters in Mr.
Lincoln.
