and Spain have made secret treaty, by the
terms of which this unnatural institution
would disappear from Cuba in short time. "
This is SO very like Monsieur Tonson
come again" that very few people will be a.
harmed by this cry of "wolf." Still, it would
be unwise for Americans to shut their eyes
to the fact tina: the war cannot be prolonged
indefinitely without foreign interference. Eng
land and France would be forced by the i'm
mense sacrifices imposed upon them by the
American war, to set limit upon the strife;
but do not believe that either of these gov
ernments is at present so foolhardy as to risk
war with the North by interfering in be-
half of the South.
II NJ. Mercier's visit to Richmond has any
reference to settlement between the Two
sections of our country, think it is more
probable that he is charged with the endeav-
or (hopeless enough to reconcile the South
to return to the Union, and to the accept
ance of Mr. Lincoln's overture for compensat-
ed emancipation. But the South is in no
mood as yet to listen to proposals for recon-
Citation. She not only hates, but spurns
and scorns the North. Now, nothing will
cure her of this arrogance but an unmerciful
whipping; and it is time the North we're u
nited upon the one only way of administer
ing the necessary chastisement. The North
is slowly being educated to it, but the expen-
diture of three millions a day makes it a
costly education. The process will be greatly
accelerated on the first approach of the tax
gatherer, who will hear for the first time from
those who are requested to pay the piper,
"almost thou persua1est me to be" all
abolitionist. 1t is not probable, however,
that your thorough conservatives on the sla-
very question can be cured of their hatred OF
abolitionism, until an active Intervention is
declared by the leading European powers,
and then you may expect another pentecostal
conversion. Like all new conI erts, too, they
will then be as conspicuous for their zeal as
they now are for their apathy. But | fear
the day of their conversion is far distant and
their apathy is likely to cost the nation a
great many three millions more"

Another Regiment to be Raised in Eer-
mont.

BY despatch from Gen Washburn to
Col Merrill of this place, we learn that the
government has decided to raise more troops
and another regiment is called for from Yer
mont. A recruiting Office will be opened
Immediately in this county, also one in Orle-
ans county. We have no intimation of the
reason for calling into the field more men.
except what appears on the face of the order ::
and while We regret the necessity that de-
mands further sacrifice, We know that the
Green Mountain Boys will respond with a
will to the call of their country. The gov
eminent likes the Vermont soldiers. Rumor
has it that the war department has asked for
$4,000 more volunteers; if this is the case it
looks as though the war was not as near its
termination as we could wish. When the
government will confscate the property of
rebels, and treat them with moiety of the
rigor which they deserve, then, and We fear
not till then, can this rebellion be put down.

BY copious extracts which We publish from
private lette, it will be noticed that the
talk of Intervention is again revived in En-
gland and France. This Of course was be-
fore the news Of the capture of New Orleans
had reached that country, and before the
president had declared some of the principal
ports Of the southern states open to COM
merce with the world. When England learns
that New Orleans and Norfolk are captured,
the rebel steamer Merrimac blown up, and
the southern ports in our possession open,
we don't see how she can any longer talk a
bout Intervention. If she does, We must
stop her mouth with more victories--the
capture of the rebel capital, for instance.

C The ovation to Parson Brownlow in
New York, Thursday evening, was most en-
thusiastic. The gallant parson was in good
spirits, and made telling speech. Abiding
to northern traitors he said IF he owed
twelve of Il e most revolving wretches and
depraved scoundrels the world ever saw, to
his satanic majesty, he would make tender
OF twelve northern men sympathizing with
secession. Great applause and laughter. y
They might deem him severe and bitter in
his remuneration Of northern traitors; but
they must consider that they in the South
took it as personal matter These north
ern traitors ought not to be tolerated on
Broadway. They ought to be ridden on a
rail out of the North, and made to show
their hand"

At Corinth, Gen Halleck is gradually clos
ing his army in upon the rebels under Beau
regard. 1t is believed that decisive battle
in that quarter cannot long be delayed. The
capture of New Orleans very much embar-
rasses the rebels of the southwest in getting
their supplies. Although Gen Haleck's ar
my, according to newspaper reports, is not
under so good discipline as we could wish
yet the general is making every preparation
to ensure Union victory. We have reason
to believe he will succeed

repulsc. Seven miles below Richmond the
rebels have Fort Darling situated upon 9
high bluff,commanding the James river where
it is very narrow. The heavy guns of thi:
fort are so high above the river, on an almost
perpendicular bank, that the gunboats coult
not elevate their guns sufficiently to reach
them, while the big shot from the fort coulC
be dropped down upon the boats which could
offer no resistance. The channel of the river
had been INSTRUCTED by sunken vessels, SC
the boats could not run by, and they were
obliged to retreat. TO add to the discomft

The news of the past week has not been
particularly important as compared with the
news of other weeks. Late reports say that
Gen Mcclellan is again on the move towards
Richmond, which place he will reach as soon
as bridges can be built, roads constructed
and the weather and rebels will permit
Richmond papers of the sixteenth contain
statement of Jeff Davis to the rebel Congress
in which he says he has never entertained the
thought of Withdrawing his army from Vir-
ginia. And even in case the rebel capital
should fall, which he says he does not antici-
pate, the war could be successfully carried
on in the sold Dominion" for twenty years.
1t is evident that jeff is trying his old game
of bluff. We shall expect to chronicle in our
next paper the occupation Of Richmond by
McClellan's army. Yet it may be,and proba'
bl, will be after hard fought battle, for
these rebels die hard.
