cellent spirits. General Banks corps da,mee
was. At last accounts Sunday nght-considered
to bs In favorable position to make junction
with General Pope. The highly graphic accounts
Of che battles Of Friday and Saturday which we
publish to-day exhibit the daring Of our troops,

gagged in canvassing the latest war news from
America. As usual their comments were infu-
enced entirely by the spirit Of home parties and
general prejudice against the Union Their re.
marks are consequently weak and one-sided as
ever. In the London Herald the aristocrats call
out for European Intervention, while the semi.
official Globe prints a. Q fact that Mr.. Lincoln
himself deprecated the war in his late communica-
tion to the Governors of the different States.
The most important assertion of the London
pepers Ia contained in the city article of the Lon
