No Hope of British intervention.

It is tie interest of Great Britain that this war
shall goeoii until the North is overwhelmed with
debt and taxation, and thoroughly exhausted of
men, capital and materials for conducting sue
cessful rivalry in manufactures and commerce.
and until, also. the South shall be everywhere
Oyerrun. her slaves taken off, her system com
petely overturned. and all the circumstances
which gave the South a mono oily OF the cotton
culture shall be destroyed. The talk about her
starving operatives is the silly cant Of women aud
ciergymen. England could better afford. and
her Government would prefer, to see five millions
OF her operatives starved TO death, rather than
to see the civil dissentions of this country healed
and its Affairs embarked again the career of
prosperity on which they were moving two years
ago. She has bad the cunning, by heavy brides,
TO controlling members Of the Republican party
party Of the North, TO inaugurate the present
troubles and, despite Of the sentimentalism which
she is now preaching the horrors of war, she
Is the real iustgator of the aggressive measures
Of the North against the South. She has had
the address to make the Nortll-her rival in man
ufactures and eommerce-do her own work upon
the South-her successful competitor in the cot
ton culture Her two rivals in matters touching
her vital interests are Engaged in deadly collision
and she would, this day, choose rather that all
her starving operatives should perish than that
the North and South should be at peace until
their work Of mutual destruction is completed -

work would have done it. he could have held
the position at least. But he did nothing of the
kind 1t was Jackson who on Friday afternoon
pushed forward, seized the nights of Cedar Noun
tain and occupied them with z 900 troops. This,
at least, Gen. Pope knew. Yet what measures
did he take to dislodge the enemy from this van
tage proundz He sent Banks with 5000 men TO
dislodge Il 900 troops posted on chosen ground,
protected BY underbrush and covered with the
same artillery that played havoc with our troops
on Saturday night. According to all accounts
Banks and his troops behaved like heroes. But
what could the valor of 5000 men avail against
that of 1900! Pope had at his command
force variously stated at from 4O, 900 10 10000
men. Yet he failed to concentrate them, or even
10000 of them, against the 10000 of the enemy,
while he permitted Gen. Jackson TO throw for
ward 20, 600 troops from Orange 10 the Rapidan,
and from the Rapidan TO Cedar Mountain. Let
it be remembered here that as lately as August
Sd, he telegraphed to the War Department that
he tPope) had crossed the Rapidan and taken
possession of Orange on the I'd. The rebels had
TO drive us out of Orange, and back across the
Rapidan, before they could cross.
1t looks very much now as if General Jackson
was manuvering TO draw Pope across the Rapi-
dan. The rebel General is reported TO have re-
crossed the stream with his 20 600 troops, and to
Dc HON On It's tight rope teiceftlDnS US
here that his cavalry and artillery are in pursuit
That is just what General Jackson wants, unless
Pope's infantry are close at hand TO act as sup
ports. The rebel General is full Of wiles and
strategems; he knows every inch of the ground;
and if Pope gets the advantage of him he will be
a great General indeed. 1t probably General
JacksOns plan TO make feint of retreating, to
draw Pope across the Rapidan, and then TO fall
upon him suddenly, while part of the Union
forces are still the north side of the stream.
AT all events, if it is certain that this battle,
bloody as it was is only the prelude TO the great
and decisive action which must take place be-
tween Pope and Jackson. In weighing the
probabilities of the result of this coming engage
ment, it must be remembered that, if Jackson
find Pope stronger than he supposed, he can be
instantly reinforced from Gordonsville to any re-
quired amount. 1t is not supposed that Jackson
has on the line of the Rapidan, and between that
and Orange, over $4,000 troops. But it is known
that there are more than that many at Gordons-

The extract from the Albany Journal of Tues
day, which we publish in another column, will be
received with thrill of genuine satisfaction. II
appears from this that volunteers will be received
towards the second 100000, till the preparations
for making the draft are completed. This point
can not be reached before the LIST of September,
even if then. Therefore, as an official order will
probably announce, the time of volunteering is
extended for fifteen days. The War Depart
ment, in making this modification known to the
Governor added the remark that if enough vol
unteers offered to fill up the old regiments, per-
haps no draft will be made. The quota of the
State for this purpose would be about fifty-four
thousand. This, then, is the work now to be
done.
The present phase of popular feeling in con.
nection with the war is different from anything
vet seen, though it is not less sublime than the
sudden and almost fearful upheavings Of year
ago. From an apparent apathy-from even, in
some quarters a state almost of hostility 10 the
Government, the whole North has gradually
aroused itself, shaken off all sluggish moods and
grasped the sword with frmness and grim de
termination which is even more OMNIBUS to the
rebel cause than was the glitter of the blades
which flashed into the sunlight in the early sum
mer of last year.
The probability of draft has been growing
less and less for the past week. and now the men
who are desponding enough to predictit still viii
be few indeed. A fire like that now running over
Indiana and Massachusetts and many districts in
New York, viii not die for want of tanning or Of
fuel, and the mighty army of the United States
will be sent into the field without a conscript in
its ranks.-N. Y. Jour. Of Com.

Exchange of Priseners.

The Journal, OF yesterday, in an article upon
the subject. approves the order stopping the ex-
change Of prisoners on account of the refusal of
our other officers" The telegraph this morning
contains the intelligence that MCCALL and cur

effort should be made 70 secure the return Of the
gallant COEcoRAS. his retention is no good .rea-
son why our authorities should not continue the
exchange of privates. Every man who volun-
teers should have all confidence, based upon the
acts OF those in authority, that if taken prison
srs their prompt return will be provided for SO

should not every man 10 brought back that is
possible regardless Of his POSITION? We say,

every other camp where the rebel 2rivates are
confined, If we can get man for man, and thus
relieve speedily as possible from their suser-
ings and priva,ions the gallant volunteers, who
are not in the service Of their country as pro-
fessional soldiers, but volunteer citizens, en-
listed solely for the defense and honor of their
Government. The exchange is not only re-
quired by every dictate Of humanity, but like
wise Of duty and economy. Let the exchange

upon military etiquette, until every gallant son
Of Indiana, every volunteer in the army of the
Union. who was captured defending its flag, shall
be set free and again enabled to meet the foe.

Exciting news from Kentucky.

Governor MORTON received dispatches late
Saturday night from Generals BOYLE and NOR
GAN announcing that the rebels were invading
Kentucky from various points in force and call
ing for all the reinforcements that could be sent
from Indiana. Elsewhere will be found all the
particulars in reference thereto that have come
into our possession. With his usual energy and
prOmptness, the Governor Immediately made ar
engagements to send all the disposable forces in
the State to Kentucky, in response to the call
for aid.
This news of the advance Northward of large
body Of rebel forces may be true, as it has been
given out for some time that such movements
were in anticipation and it is reported shat the
rebels have or did have large force at Cumber-
land Gap and that the combined forces of BEAU
REGARD and BRAGG intended to move upon BUELL.
with a number not less than 10000 men.
We think these reports exaggerated, and that
the object of rebel foray into Kentucky is to
divert attention from Virginia, and thus prevent
large reinforcements from being sent to McCLEL.
LASand PORE But the only safety is to act upon
the information we have, exaggerated as it may
be, and by sending large force into Kentucky,
aid the troops already there in holding in check,
if they cannot drive back, the rebel forces in
their attempted Northern invasion.

The Journal is finally satisfied that Governor
WRIGHT was nominated by the Republicans for
Congress, at their Convention held in Terre
Haute. on Wednesday last 1t doubted the re-
port of the nomination; it doubts whether Gov.
WRIGHT will accept the proffered honor, but
thinks he can "beat VOORHEES, badly if he will
make the race" The Journal and Gov. WRIGHT
do not agree on that point. The latter, when
pressed few days ago to make the race, said it
would not make fifty votes difference in the Dis
triet, no matter who ran. He did not want the
honor of being beaten then, but he may consent
to lead torlOrn hope by large promises for the
future

County Convention on Saturday, and il is one
worthy the support of the conservative voters of
Marion county. The candidates are all men
identified with the industrial interests of the
country-sound, conservative, Union loving citi-

the wants of the country, and who are devoted
to its welfare. They are men who can be trust
ed in public as in private life. They are all
known to the people of Marion county, and their
past is the best security that can be given that
their future will be equally honest and upright.

Aiming Negroes.

Senator LANE said in a speech here the other
day that it was folly to talk about arning the
negroes, when there were not arms enough to put
in the hands Of the white men who we're ready to
use them. That's sensible. And he would have
exhibited still further good sense if be had said
that Congress would have displayed wisdom and
sagacity, if it had avoided all allusion even to
he negro question, and left that. like all Others,
TO be determined by the fate of the war.

Pope out Generated BY JdcksOa-Desigas and

WASHINGTON, August -.
The battle on the Rapidan on Saturday last
was a very important affair." both as a battle of
ITSELF and an indication of the designs of the
Confederates in that quarter and their ability or
otherwise to carry out those designs. / have
seen to-day several other officers direct from the
scene, and from them, and from other sources
equally authentic, l have gathered the fol-
lowing additional particulars relative to the en-
gagement:
Ii is clear that General Pope has gained no
laurels in this battle. His entire dispositions for
the engagement display a lameniable lack of the
qualities most essential in a successful General.
The terrible loss of life which we suffered in the
engagement is clearly chargeable upon his want
of foresight, and his neglect in not seeing per-
sonally that our troops were properly supported.
There is nothing in his conduct TO indicate that
he knew twenty-four hours before the battle that
the rebels were marching to attack him; yet on
Thursday, after driving out of Orange and
across the Rapidan, the enemy had massed a
strong column on the right bank of the Rapidan,
which they threw across on Friday morning, dri-
wing in our pickets as they did so. Every Colo
mel in the corps knew this fact Yet Pope either
did not know it, or, if he did, had not skill
enough TO penetrate the significance of the move
ment But this was not all the rebels did on
Friday. Cedar Mountain lies five miles to the
north of the Rapidan, and midway betweenita and
Culpepper. Our outposts had been not only to
the Rapidan, but across it, We were virtually in
possession of Cedar Mountain, and of the heights
around it. Yet Gen. Pope neglected to secure
the possession of Cedar Mountain, which was, of
course, the key of the position. Gen. Jackson
knew this, but Gen. Pope it seems did not know
it, If he did, he failed TO take advantage of it,
although it was quite in his power to do so. If,
when the enemy first crossed the Rapidan on
Friday morning, Pope had sent 10000 of his
troops, Che is supposed to have three times that
many, but don't say how many he has-I only
say that he could have sent 10000 on any SER
vice, and had plenty left, to take possession of
the nights of Cedar Mountain, with directions to

LOOKS LIKE HuMpue

A year ago we had in the Republican papers
astounding disclosures from Michigan of the
reasonable designs of secret association, call
ed by the euphonious name of the knights OF
the Golden Circle" and attempts to connect with
it the names of prominent Democrats. The
whole thing turned out to be cheat and for
gerry. Now very large mares nest of similar
character has been discovered in Indiana 1t
may be that there is such an association and that
it has reasonable designs. If so, let it be ex-
posed, and the guilty punished. But the whole
thing smells exceedingly of humbug, and espe-
cielly of design to influence Western cleo
lions.
