Later from Europe

By the steamer City Of New York,
off Cape Race, we have European news
to the 28th Of August:
The U. s. frigate Tusearora put into
Falmouth on the % Of August, and was
ordered to leave in twenty-four hours.
She sought permission to remain and
repair her damages, she being reported
leaky. |The authorities referred her
Captain to the Ministers; but it is said
that the Captain declined to make any
application in that quarter. She was
allowed foreman while one of her off,
GERS went to London; but she was or
dered to leave on his return, without
repairs andwithout coal. -
The English journals have very little
to- say on American affairs. The Lon
don Times sarcastieally refers General
|McC Clellan to his structures on the Al,
lies on the conduct of the war in the
Crimea, and asks how his own nproceed-
|ings will stand the test of these stric.
lures? It treats the affair at Culpep-
per Court House as a most signal dis
comfture for Gen. Pope. The London
Morning Herald denounces the con;
tinued violations of the laws of nations
by the United States Navy, and com.
plains of Earl Russell s apathy.

CONFEDERATE CONGRESS.

This body continues to discussin the
House, numerous methods of evading
the Conscription Act as passed by the
Senate. The public mind has settled
down to the conclusion, that Conscrip-
ton is the only fair means of raising
athe army to its proper standard, and
that the opposition to it, is tending to
favor the rich, and also TO breed more
spectators, whose enormous gains'ena-
Bile them to pay any price, while the
poor man has to leave his family at their
mercy. The Secretary of War has re-
commended that substitution be not al
lowed, except in certain cases, where
the person applying may be employed
in some useful mechanical occupation,
which will doubtless be. the next bone
of contention, if the Conscription can
not be set aside.
An Act has passed the House to the
effect ssthat it shall be the duty of the
Secretary of War TO transfer any prl-
vate or non-commissioned officer who
may be in regiment from State OF
this Confederacy other than his own, to
a regiment from his own State, whenev-
er such private Or non-commissioned
officer may apply for such transfer, and
whenever such transfer can be made
withoutinjury to the public service; and
the Secretary of War shall make regu-
lations for executing such transfer :
Prvudea, That this Act shall not ap-
ply to any one who has enlisted as a
substitute.
A resolution has been introduced
complimenting Gen. Lees troops in
crossing the Potomac, but was deferred,
as Mr.. Lyons, of Virginia, thought
that the information from our army in
Maryland was not such sto Justify the
adoption of the resolution.

"THE SOUTH CANNOT BE CONQUER
ED. "A correspondent Of the Balti-
more "Amertcan" writes to that paper
as follows: \
The return of the army to Washing
ton is great modification in military
circles, and it will doubtless be one of
equal modification to the whole coun-
try. After fifteen months of toll and
bloodshed we have now returned to the
starting point, and the whole work has
to be commenced over again. The Con-
federates may now again reiterate their
assertion with some show Of plausibilty,
''that the South cannot be conquered. "
There cannot be said to be any panic
here, but the modification is great and
the disappointment so deep Ahat every
man seems to carry his feelings in his
countenance.
There are also rumors here this even
ing of change in the Cabinet, butt
think they are unfounded.

The high price of leather has led to
various resources for procuring good
article. Several saddles were relieved
of their skirts last week, from horses
actually hitched in the most public parts

urban population.
Governor Vance, of North Carolina,
was inaugurated on Monday, the 9th

the papers as highly patriotic one.
Governor Pickens' message to the
President is rather piquaht-he leaves

but show more of a disposition to sus

than to enlighten the public mind OF
the matters in charge.

Skirmish near Savannah.

SAVANNAH, September 12.-On We'd
nesday, two Yankee barges approached
Mr.. Rogers place, about twelve miles
from Genesis Point. Thenews having.
reached camp, Capt. McAlister, with a
detachment of twenty men, went in pur-
suit. Awaiting the approach of the
barges, our men fred into them, killing
the officer in command of the Yankees.
A volley being fired into the boats, all
the occupants fell, but our men kept up
their fire into the sides of the boats,
which drifted off. Other barges were
sent from the gunboats to tow the Grip
pied boats away. Nine men were lifted
from one of the barges over the side Of
the gunboat, and five from the other
making fourteen killed and wounded.
The gun-boat then put to sea. Nobody
hurt on our side. .....

THE NEWS.

The statement last week that our
troops under Kirby, Smith had entered
Cincinnati was premature. They were
ten miles North Of Cya'thiana, which,
with the usual disposition to le of mad
anne Rumor, caused the mistake. :,
As our army has crossed the Poto-
mac, the news from them must be look
ed on with viewto possibilities, for
much Of it we will have to depend on
northern channels. For the location of
our troops, allis speculation, so we refer
to the news head, to be taken for what
it, is worth. .-~ -. -,...-~,-
