The following Il extract from an editorial In the
New York Herald of the 10th instant:
Foreign intervention according to latest Europe
an advices has assumed shape since capture
Of New Orleans. 1t is longer Intervention for South
ern independence but Intervention for Southern subms
sion 10 the Uaon and for the preservation OF Southern
cotton tobacco rice and sugar from our Southern rebel
ncendSries. We gave the other day interesting
news from Paris Of u remarkable meeting between Louis
Napoleon and the rebel ambassador Sde at the house
OF the Count de Persgny and il Ia now noised abroad
that the Count may be expected on an exsord ma
~ mission from the Emperor this side the Atlantic.
SIT I'D this turn out b. well founded,
have no msgyings of the mission Of Count Persigny,
but every motive facilitate bis great objects OF Undue
lag Southern rebels to lay down their arms and 10
save their cotton and tobacco. 81
Meantime our radical abolition organs in this quarter
have not only ceased to be camorous and impatient in
reference to the delay Of General Mcclellan in advanc
ing upon Richmond, but they have become alarmed at
his position. They fear that be is 10 dnger In front OF
immense rebel army, vastly superior in numbers to

any ser, dfaster befsl G81ersl Mcclellan they will
be held accountable for by the country, and that they
cannot escape the ushing responsibility. We believe,
however, that between President Lncoln and General
Mcclellan there exists that happy accord and perfect
confidence which sd TO success and that General

men he may call for. We are not aware that he has
demanded any, that he psuses to await an increase
OF his forcs. We rely upon his skill and direction in
any event. and, with the fate Of this rebellion reduced
TO the struggle for Richmond we content to wait
till he is ready to advance.
Anticipating too, from bis gallant army, directed BY
his vigilance sagacity and sound Judgment crowning
triumph at Richmond hope the President, meantime
and henceorward, will actively pursue the wise policy OF
encouraging elections to both houses OF Congress from
