to say, that during the whole Of the Rich
mond campaign he never. on any ono occa-
sion, showed the talent OF ffth-rate COM
mander Of the Austrian school OF war.
A third opportunity WAS given him to
justify the good opinion Of his countrymen

raj forces in Maryland; and ut first II did
seem that adversely had had good effect on
him. He drove the rebels out Of Maryland,
defeating them nc Antietam. But no sooner
had he won great battle, than he fell back
upon his old system Of maiingning, and
threw away the fruits OF success. lie re-
fused to reap the field which he had won."

"Mr Yaneey IS decidedly OF the opinion
that the South las 80 friends in Europe

He says there Is a very strong prejudice
ia all Of Europe against the South, IN con
sequence Of an erroneous impression which

slavery. There are many persons in
Europe who consider the Southern people

There is no disposition 70 interfere in

The blockade enables the British holder,
Of the great staple COTTON to realize an
immense advance upon its cost, in conse-
qaenco Of tie scarcity Of tie article. The
holders are the wealthy few, who have tie
ear ol the Government. Another reason
for not interfering with the blockade, was
the bclief that the scarcity Of the article,
and the remote prospect Of obtaining a
supply from tits country would create
such demand for the East India Gotten as
TO increase It's culture 10 very consider

Another reason, in Mr.. Yancey's opin-
ion, why European powers will not in
iertcfe in American affairs, is the hope
and belief that permanent dissolution OF
the United States will weaken nation Of
whose prosperity and greatness they had
