Mr.. Spence the Liverpool correspondent
of the London Times has another letter in
that journal complimentary TO the North
on the yalor Of its armies and the skill
shouH by It's Generals in Maryland. lie
says the North is nowin position to make
peace without dishonnr, hut that the gold
en- opportunity will be lost, and adds, as
the North cannot be the first to acknowl-
edge the Independence of the Southern
Confederacy, Europe should remove the
stumbling block by recognizing the Con-
federate States, and that the North may
then follow its example.
The New York correspondent Of the
London Times, writing September 18th,
says it is evident that the decisive battle of
the war is not yet fought. All that has
happened is but the preliminary to the
final onslaught that is TO make or mar
Mcclellan, but that onslaught end how it
will end, it is not likely to make or mar
the fortunes of the COnfederates. He adds
that the resignation of President Lincoln,
is debated as a matter Of course.
The Army and Navy Gazette says the
South has tried the offensive and failed.
The Confederate army has shown great
daring and much tenacity, but it has
been beaten. General Mcclellan has
shown that as a soldier he is equal
to General Lee or StOnewall Jackson. The
division of the Confederate forces was O
great mistake, but great generals would
have known how to convert that mistake
into q disastrous defeat, while second rate
soldiers like Mcclellan could only get out
with respectable success. The expectation
| Of arms and ammunition from England to
America is rapidly increasing.
The shipments of the first eight months
| Of the year are valued at one million three
/ hundred and eight thousand pounds.
! The Paris Patrie hears from good sources
that nothing is more likely than the rec
| ognition Of the South on the basis Of ac-
conplished facts very soon TO be on the
tapis, England and France acting in con-
cert.
The Paris Bourse was much excited on
the Sd, and rentes advanced nearly a fourth
per cent, closing at Y. It is supposed the
advance was caused by rumOr that the
Papnl Government had shown a more PHI
ant disposition.

AA-AoAHA ALLEY OCt. 18th.
The news of the success of Stuarts raid
into Pennsylvania and into the rear of this
army has occasiOned no unnecessary ex-
citement among the troops. When it is
taken into consideration that the river is
made fOrdable by a low stage Of water at
so many points, and that the army of the
FEotomae rotor has line Of pickets extending
iTOm OuHUvr1uEESa I-5r5ITTIIg rUu, 4 uI5-
lance of $50 miles, it makes it an easv
matter for large rebel force Of cavalry TO
penetrate it.
The moment the fact that the rebels had
crossed the river at McCoy's Ferry became
known, every exertiOn was made that was
deemed necessary. The rebels at the
mouth Of the Monocacey at nine o'clock
yesterday morning had marched 78 miles
within q hours withouta change of horses
or rest. At that point while attempting to
cross into Virginia, they were repuised
and nine Of them taken prisoners.
The loss on our side was one man wound
ed. Stuart, finding himself unable 10 cross
here, moved three miles down the river 10
Mhlteford, where he made good his escape.
General Pleasanton, while pursuing them.
lost the use Of his guns, his horses giving
out from exhaustion. 1t is believed that
the marches, both Of the rebel cavalry and
our own, are the most extraordinary on
record, and they show most conclusiyelv
the perfect folly Of attempting to pursue
cavalry with infantry.
Orders were sent to the different com
manders TO move and occupy the positions
assigned, but unfortunately at this time,
the majority Of the cavalry was absent on
important duty at too great distance to
be Of any use in following Stuart.
On an occasion Of this kind, infantry,
not being able to mako a lengthy march,
is Of no practical use, except in guarding
fOrds near at hand
When Stuart crossed at McCoy's Ferry
he had fresh horses, they having been sent
to that point in advance His movements
after crossing were rapid He marched
his forces ninety-two miles in twenty-five
hours. To accomplish this he had the
horses taken from the citizens Of Pennsyl.

FROM MILWAUKEE.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. IA.
The st. Paul Pioneer of the 18th, says
dispatches received by General Pope from
General Sibley, reports the Indian war, as
far as the Sioux are concerned, about
ended. The entire force of the lower bands
surrendered to General Sibley. He has
probably two thousand C2,O00) prisoners.
A cavalry force is in pursuit of Little
Crow and others, who are making their
escape. Twenty Indians have been con-
victed 80 far.
The Winslow House was destroyed by
fire on the eleventh. It was unoccupied.-
Loss estimated at $4,000.
