From Europe.

New York, Sept. 2s.-The follow
ing is additional by the Anglo-Sax-
on.
The stirring news from America,
brought by the Europa and subse-
cuent steamers, was the theme of
universal comment. The defeat Of
Pope's army was regarded as most
disastrous to the North; but the va
lor displayed by the Northern troops
at the second Bull Run Battle is
generally admitted.
The Times admits that the FEEDER
al troops fought with more than ordi-
nary courage; that their two days
fighting resc,es their military char
acter from reproach; but everything
but that honor for them is but dust.
The gallant stand which the FEEDER
ais made only takes the sting Of dis
grace out of their overthrown.
The Times argues that the Federal
government is brought to the verge
of ruin, and believes that such a
term may be justly used when it is
no longer safe to execute the tunc-
tons Of Government in the capital
1t argues that. bad as the prospects
now appear. there is no element OF
of better prospects in future.
The Daily News admits the sever.
| ity of the defeat Of the Federals, and
thinks there will be more bloody
battles in Maryland.
The London Star considers the
Northern cause hopeless, because the
emancipation Of the slaves OF the
Southern States has not been pro-
claimed. And urges the adoption OF
that measure.
The London Herald thinks the
North will do we'll to consider the
expediency of making IL compromise
with the South at once.
The Morning Post points out the
ground in which the Confederate
Government may claim recognition
from European powers.
The question Of substitutes TO,
cotton attracts more attention. Prac-
teal men express little confidence II
the substitutes offered.
1t is reported that three of the
finest steamers on the Clyde-the
Trona, Giraffe and Clydesdale-have
been sold to the Confederates.
The Liverpool Telegraph says
that, besides the commissions com
mitted to others. the ship builder:
are employed by the Confederates
and work is being pushed tor

New York Oct. An army cor
respondent says there must be fight
ing again, before many days, in the
northeastern part of Virginia, unless
the rebels relinquish their position at
Winchester without waiting for US to
throw down the gauntlet before them.
That they will remain in any force at
Winchester is not probable, for it is
I impossible to subsist the army they
claim to have there without possess
ing more facilities for receiving sup
plies than at present. believeit may
safely be promised that they will not
stand about Winchester in force, be-
cause of our threatening attitude in a
locality of which they are very tena-
cious.
Yesterday two rebels. who had

How They did tn

The special correspondent Of the Phiadei
phia Press, writing from Pittsburg Landing
on the 11th. gives a somewhat new version
Of how the rebels surprised our troops. IL,
SAYS:
This battle was, Hn9nestionably. the most
sanguinary Of the war. and was, likewise one
OF the most singular and critical on record
The great body Of our men were located about
three miles from the river, and their situation
described a semicirele, in fair readiness for a
bold resistance. had no covert measures been
resorted to by the enemy. The latter under
stand, conlrived to learn the ccuntersign ofthe
night, and used it 10 their great advantage
They bulcheyed some Of our picl1els with their
fearful looking Mississippi knives, then gagged
some dozen of Others, and hurried them with
in their lines. They exchanged uniforms with
those they killed, performed mimic guard, and
silently the whole force of Beauregard, con-
sistiug of 100000 men, under A. Sidney John
son, Cheatham, Polk. Bragg, and other celc-
brnted soldiers, crept almost into our camp and
opened terrific Ere upon about
$4,000 men decidedly unprepared. This occur

There is no little confusion in regard to the

of the fonts appear to be confounded. AS in

and Corinth, the Mississippi between Island

the best information we have been able to OBJ
tain respecting the rebcl fortifcations that
guard the approach to Memphis, Below
that point there said to be no batteries to
imPelIe opr progress down the river to New
Orleans.
A dispatch, on Friday night, reported that
Commodore Foote's lotila, on Monday, the
18th inst, attacked and captured Fort Wright.
This fort is by some confuunded with Fort
Pillow. But Fort Wright appears to have
been the first strong position CQmmoaore
Foo,e had TO encounter on his passage down
the river. Il is said to be situated on the Chic
asaw Bluffs, about eighty miles above Mem
phiS. If it be true as reported, that it has becu
reduced, he next strongly iplrpnfhed rehel post
below is Fort Randolph, though this some ac-
counts place below Fort Pillow.
Fort Randolph is described as on the Mis-
sissippi river. near the town Of Randolph, Tip
ton county, Tenn, about sixty miles above
Memphis, one hundred and sixty miles below
Columbus, and one hundred and eighty below
Cairo. 1t is rough, incomplete earlhwork,
copsrHptea last Gsll, 1t is built upon the Sec
ond Chicasaw Bluffs, more than one hundred
feet above the river, and Immediately south Of
Island No. 81, the lower part Of which com
mands three mouths OF the IIatchie river,
stream that empties into the Mississippi river
just above the town of Randolph, at the upper
edge of the bluffs. These tluAs form natural
parapets for the batteries. aDd at this point
command a view Of the NJ ississippi for six miles
each way.
Below Randolph is Fort Harris, which, how
ever, it is said, the rebels have abandoned, and
sent all tue guns TO Forl PILLOW.
Fort Pillow is on the east bank Of the Mis-
sissippi, seventy miles above Memphig, near
the mou of the Hatchie viver, and not far
from Fort Randolph. 1t is undoubtedly, the
strongest rebel fortifcatiop on the Mississippi
between New Madrid and Memphis. The bat
teries are said to extend half a mile along the
Tennessee shore, with two batteries twenty and
forty feet above the water. There is in the
rear OF the fort line Of hreastworks five or
six miles long, mounting siege guns, and twelve
hundred negroes are reported to he working on

Culture Of the Radiah.

The radish is one of The mostI i'm
portant of the spring Injuries furnish
ed by the garden; thatis, when well
grown, tender and crisp. To be ft
| for the table radishes must have a
quick growth. If they grow slow
and are long time in the ground,
they become hard, woody aud hot,
and are wprmy generally. We pre-
sumo all are aware Of this fact, vet,
how to obtain them in perfection is
not so well understood. If grown in
hot bed there is no difficulty, if they
are not too thick and sufficient air is
given. If these two points are neg
lected they will run up to tops and be
worthless. 1t is useless. to grow rad
ishes in q frame with cucumbers, for
they win not bear the heat necessary
to perfect thu cucumber. This is the
/ reason why o correspondent, whose
inquiry we have before us, failed
Radishes, lettuce and annual flower
ing plants may be grown together, al
ways placing the lettuce in the front
of the frame where twill get the drip
of the sash. This is injurious to
most plants, but Of great benefit to
lettuce.
For out door culture, it is not best
to SOW radishes too early. The esoil
should first be warm. and dry. Select
a warm, sheltered border, and a SAN
dy soil, and if possible add to tia lit
tie. new soil from the YoQds, or cor
ners, Of the fences. A barrel of
this soil win. prove Of great advan-
tage If spread on The surface, or slight
ly mixed with the surface earth, AT
ter tie seed is sown, sift on little
coal ashes or charcoal dust, If this
course is pursued, radishesof tho most
crisp and delicate character will be
obtained at least in almost al cases. .
Of course success depends somewhat
upon the weather, which is best il
warm and showery. After the plants
appear, if the little BLACK beetle is
troublesome, throw over the beds
sprinkling of dry ashes every day or
so until the rough leaf appears.
The quality of the radish depends
: good deal more upon the manner IN
which it is grown than upon the varir
ely, and yet there is considerable DIFF
ference in the sorts. The OliYe-shaP-
cd Rose is tie best variety we have
ever grown, being very tender and
mild. The Early Frame is excellent
for the hot-bed, and the Long Scarlet
and White Turnip are desirable sorts.

sorts require a little longer time to
