Mr.. Russell on M. Mercler's Journey to
- TT cRichmond. -g--~ r.~

Since Mr.. RUssELL's return to England
bis experience in America has been utilized
by the managers of the London Times in
elaborate articles, analytic of events in
America. These contributions bear un-
mistakable evi iences of their authorship.
Mr.. RUsssLL's local knowledge and cores

eral Nc CLELLAN, and his luminosity toward
Secretary STANTON, are unconcealed The
following paragraph, wh'c refers to "a mat
ter of much public moment, in regard to
which Mr.. RUSSELL had opportunities to in
form himself, will be read with interest:
The departure of NJ. Mercier for Richmond,
announced by telegraph, may well affect the
Northern world with strong emotion, if he has
really gone there. The Minister of France is
a gentleman who has never for a moment con.
cealed his belief that the North cannot succeed
in the object 1t proposes to itself, and who
naturally regards the loss and inconvenience
caused to France by the prolongation of this
strife, as very useless concessions to the pride
and lust of power of the people of the Northern
States, who are neither grateful nor just to.
ward those who maintain a strict neutrality,
regardless of their material interests. M. Mer
cier has always acted with the most perfect
good feeling and cordially in his relations with
Lord Lyons, although he may not share the
English Minister'S kindly sympathies for the
country to which he is accredited. There has
been no Trent affair to stir up the passions of
the unbridled democracy of the United States,
or to turn the fulsonle eulogiums of France, in

The correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times, with Gen. Banks corps at New.
market, writes under date of the 18th inst,
tina. Gen. Shields has moved with his divi>
SIGN to join Mcdowell at Fredericksburg {:
GAS wrote you yesterday, Gen. Shields
division has been detached from General
Banks division. 1t can do DO harm now
for me to state that Shields orders are to
join Gen. Mcdowell as soon as possible.
Banks, not having force enough to protect
the long rear, has withdrawn bis entire
force to Strasburg, where he will remain.
Gen. Shields will leave here With his entire
division at six o'clock to morrow morning.
He will march straight across the Blue
Ridge ola Luray, and thence to a point near
Fredericksburg.
"He passes through section that hos
not yet been visited by Union troops, and
it is quite likely that be will be opposed in
his passage. But old jimmy as the sol.
diers call him, will 60 through on the light
ming train. That there may be no delay,

men will sleep under their blankets. As a
recompense, the men will be relieved of their
knapsacks, the wagons used for transport.
ing tents being devoted to the transpor.
tation OF knapsacks. Should the weather
continue as beautiful as it has been for
week, the division will make splendid
march.
gall the sick of the division, and all who
cannot stand long and faIiguing marches,
have been sent back to Strasburg, and the
men have been fully fitted out with extra
shoes, new caps, etc. l have passed through
the different brigades. and find the men
much elated with the prospect of very &C.
tive service. 10 lieu of tents they construct
bivouacs' out of their India rubber ban-
kets, which are very comic, table, even in
very rainy weather"
10 direct line the distance from New.
market to Fredericksburg is seventy.fve
miles. By road it is probably not less than
q hundred-perhaps more. We do not
believe there is any rebel force on the road
to interrupt the march, and Shields must
by this time be near his journeys end.

The FEEDER ais and the COnfe derates,

From the Leudon Times, Mays.
If we look with attention to the details
of the recent engagements, we shall be dis,
posed to conclude that the Federals have
made greater progress in military efficiency
than their antagonists. Both at Fort Don.
elson, ard still more conspicuously at Pitts.
burg, the C0Dfederates did as much as
would have secured them the victory if the
Federals had been no better soldiers than
at Bull Run. There cannot be greater
contrast than that between the invincible
and unainching endurance of the Unionists
under the fierce onset of Beauregard, and
the panic and fight of whole army before
Johnson's division at Manassas. The Fed
erals-at any rate those OF the Western
army-have learned to stand and the Con-
federates can no longer snatch sudden vic
tory by rapid assault.
Whether the army of the East has been
raised to the same standard of efficiency is
what remains to be seen, and the suspense
in which toe question is kept provokes ma.
tural but unpleasant comparisons, while it
furnishes General McClellan's enemies with
arguments to his prejudice. For the rest,
however, the COnfederates still enjoy the
one great advantage of having time on their
side. If the check inflicted on the Federals
in the West and the resistance offered in
the East should have the effect of prolong.
ing the war under its present aspect for a
few weeks longer, the season for operations
will be at an end and the campaign will be
closed, not indeed without success on the
part of the Northerners, but without any
material progress toward their ultimate ob.
ject. The hold of the South on the border
States has been rudely shaken, and victory
has shed lustre on the arms OF the North, but
the proper territories of the seceders will
remain untouched, except on the coast, and
they will have the benefit of another year
for the organization OF their resources, the
completion Of their defences, and the pos
sibe chances of diversion or succor. The
North, 10 the meantime, will be exhaustipg
its means by most prodigal expenditure,
and trying the patience of the people by an
reproductive and unpromising contest
Sooner or later. the taxes SO indiscriminate.
ly imposed must be actually collected, and
then will come the test of public feeling.
So long, in short, as the Federals are not
absolutely winners 10 this unnatural strug-
gle, they are losers, and losers at pro-
digious cost; whereas, so long as the Con-
federates are not actually subdued, they
may regard themselves as winning. These
are conditions which leave heavy odds
against the North, and fully counterbals
ance the superiority of its resources, the
magnitude of its armies, and, let US add.
the extraordinary energies of it's citizens.

Rebel Estimate OF General Butler, the
Union Commander at New Orleans.

Bombastes Furioso and his myrmidons
are new in possession of New Orleans, and,
if anything could add to our sympathy with
the generous and warm>hearted people of
that city, it is that such specimen of
Yankeedom should be their Military Gov
ernor. A more polished and chivalric pop.
ulation cannot be found on this continent,
and every instinct of their nature must re-
volt at the gross, vulgar tool OF Yankee
tyranny who is now lording it over q com,
munity who have never before seen such a
being outside the guard-house. 1t was bad
enough that they should be given over with.
out blow to the hands OF the enemy. that
their Notifications should be abandoned and
blown up, their army taken away, and their
own private arms taken with them but
that B. F. Butler should be put 10 com,
inand of the forsaken city is the last drop in
the bitter cup of humiliation and shame.
Ofall the Yankee generals, be has the least
pretensiOns to the qualities of soldier and
gentleman. A verier humbug, in mili-
tary point OF view, was never created. The
battle of Bethel-at which he took good
care not to be presents the only battle
with which he bad the remotest connection.
He never 80 much as landed at Hatteras
till the guns of the shipping had silenced
the fire Of the Notifications, and he is not
heard of at New Orleans till the gunboats
had achieved their bloodless victory. He
is now in bis element, sporting laurels
which do not belong to him-an ass in
lions skin. We predict that Gen. Butler
will leave before the weather becomes ex.
cessively warm. His oleaginous courage
will evaporate speedily before the burning
sun. The yellow fever will before long put
an end, 10 one way or another, to the domin.
ion OF Bombastes, and open batteries upon
his forces generally which can neither be
resisted BY power nor paralyzed by treason.
1t McClellan's forces are already seriously
affected by our comparatively salubrious
swamps in Virginia, what must become of
those who have undertaken to "hold, occu.
py and possess" the death>breeding waters

--Thurlow Weed, in bis last letter from
Europe, says there is beginning to be much
anxiety in France ABOUT cotton. Their di.
minished supply will be exhausted 10 six or
eight weeks. This will deprive several hun.
dred thousand people of employment, for
whom, in such an emergency, the govern
ment must furnish bread. Hence the gov.
eminent appeals to us for cotton. Other
governments are not unlikely to unite with
France in an earnest appeal on this sub.

General Halleck and the Newspape
Correspondents.

Private Dispatch to the Chicago Post.
CAIRO, April 20.--The newspaper cor
respondents having been banished from the
army before Corinth by General Halleck's
order, are returning hlther. The Platte
Valley brought down number of them
this morning, and Others are expected to
arrive on the next boat.
Upon the issuing of General Hallecks
order excluding al. civilians from the lines,
the journalists handed him an address rep
resenting the injustice the order causes on
the eve of battle, to themselves and the
public, saying they would not attempt to
evade the order, but assuring him that some
would remain in bis camps in spite of any
precautions he might take; urging that they
were there in accordance with Secretary
Stanton's order and asking whether there
was any honorable condition 10 which jour-
naists could remain. He replied that he
would exclude all civilians, but would be
glad to hear any suggestions they might
make. They then agreed to present the
following:
That we will all present to General Hal
leck satisfactory proofs of our loyalty give
bin our whereabouts in the army that be
may know where to find US at all times and
give the exact parole of honor which the
Secretary of Wer has announced will be
required of journalists as condition prece
dent to their passing within the army lines
under his order, which now is in force in all
the other military departments of the Uni,
ted States. Halleck refused to accept this.
The representatives OF the press thereupon
withdrew. After announcing their deter.
mination the provost marshal assured them
that such as attempted to gain an unfair
advantage by evading the order should be
diligently hunted out and arrested, and set
to work on the Notifications.
1t is impossible longer to resist the belief
that we are to have protracted siege. Our
entire line is now advanced to within three
miles OF Corinth. The enemy's Notifications
are understood to be about mile outside of
the town. Their outposts and pickets are
OF course beyond these.
All along the whole distance the enemy's
picket line and ours are not more than eight
hundred yards apart. For two or three
days, firing has been constant during the
day time, and occasionally sharp at night.
Our whole position is now entrenched.
Working parties are busy through the en-.
tire day and part of the night, throwing
up breastworks. Unless the enemy at.
tacks or evacuates, we are thought pretty
certain to advance now only by regular ap.
proaches.

from his recent visit to McClellan's army and
the battle field of South Mountain, he stop
ped at Frederick where he was enthusiastic

follows -

ious to hear something from me. / can only
Say as did five minutes age it is not proper

great service they have rendered-for the en-
erges they have shown-the hardships they
have endured. and the blood they have so
nobly shed for this dear Union Of ours, and
also return thanks not only to the soldiers,
but to the good citizens of Maryland, and to
all the good men and women in this land, for
their devotion to our glorious cause. say
this without any malice in my heart to those
who may have done otherwise May our
children, and our children's children to a
thousand generations continue to enjoy the
benefits conferred upon us by united coun-
try, and have cause yet to rejoice upon those
glorious institutions, bequeathed to us by
Washington aud his compeers. Now my
friends, soldiers and citizens, | can only say
once more, farewell.
