RISE OF THE JoAaUIE.-Gentlemen from
San Joaquin as high as the mouth Of the Mef-
ced, informs the Independent that the river has
risen rapidly within the past few days and was
on Saturday over its banks in many places, and
still on the rise. The late rains and melting
SHOWS in the mountains combined, are the
cause.

Cape Race, Sept. q.
The stirring news from America brought By
the Europa and subsequent steamers was the
theme of universal comment The defeat o.
POpe's army was regarded as most disastrou:
for the North, but tie valor displayed by the
Northern troops at the second Bull Run battle
was generally admitted
The Times admits that the Federal troops
fought with more than ordinary courage, and
that their two DAYS fighting rescues their mill
tary character from reproach, but everything
except that honor for them is but dust. The
gallant stand which the Federals made only
takes the sting of disgrace from their over
throw.
The Times argues that the Federal Govern
ment has been brought to the verge of ruin, and
believes such a term NAV be safely used, when
it is no longer safe to execute the functions
of the government in the capital. 1t argues
that as the prospects of the Federals now
appear, there is no better prospects in the fu,
ture.
The Daily Nescs admits the severity of the
defeat of the Federals, and thinks there will be
more bloody battles in Maryland.
The London Star considers the Northern cause
as hopeless, because the emancipation of the
slaves of the Southern States has not been
proclaimed. 1t urges the adoption of that meas
ure.
The London Herald thinks the North will do
compromise With the South at once.
The Morning Post points out the ground on
which the Confederate Government may claim
recognition from European powers. The ques
ton Of the substitute for cotton attracts more
and more attention. Practical men express but
little confidence in the substitute offered Ii is
reported that three of the finest steamers on
Clyde, the Irona, Girabbee and Clydesdale, have
been sold to the Confederares.

We publish this week the proclamation OF
day of January next, ali persons held as slaves
within any State, or any designated part of a
State, the people whereof shall then be in rebel
lion against the United States, shall be thence

by which the loyalty OF the States or parts Of
States shall be deter "a ued shall be their repre-

He has struck the chord which will viorate in
millions Of loyal hearts He has struck blow
at the very lie Of the rebellion. BY this ACT
he plucks up treason by the roots, and saves a
great nation, the hope of the oppressed of all IA
tons, fiom destruction by this great deed o.
freedom, he gives new lie hot only to four mil
lions OF black b1nimen, but also to an entire
nation at white freemen. He gives a truer, a
deeper, and more glorious significance, to the
eterEa. truths proclaimed 10 the world in the
immortal declaration of independence. He Is
the second Savior Of his Country. God bless
Abraham Lincoln forevermore
We have all along maintained and still hold to
the opinion, that there is no way out of the
present rebellion, and no way of restoring the
country 10 permanent peace, except by the
utter destruction of the cause Of the rebellion.
The men who have instigated, and thus far
maintained it, to strengthen and perpetuate the
power of the SlaveaoldiBg arstocracy, must be
entirely stripped OF their power and their iuf1u-
euce, aud tie political power placed in the mid
die and lover classes. The aristOcracy which
is aDtagonistic To republican government must
be maize to give way, to the true democracy of
the South, which alone is compatible with or
free Institutions This can only be done by abol-
ishiug slavery in the rebel.ious districts, which
alone builds up aud sus:ains that aristocracy
Slavery is now to be abolished, and the rebellion
ended. Amen, and Amen
