Exciting Reconnaissance.

We find the following in the Wheeling (Va)
InteiLgeHcer of Friday last:
1t is matter not generally known that our
forces IN Page county, on the other side of the
MasSanutten Mountain, had a narrow escape from
the enemy in front of them. Our lst Virginia
was ordered out by Colonel ThobourD, to make
a reconnaissance, and after proceeding some dis
lance along the Shenandoah river came unex
pectedly into pass on either side of which the
enemy posted in force Our men were fairly
between them. and if the Confederates had closed
their lines on us We would have been bagoei en-.
tirey But they thought we were i'm greater
force than were. and that lst regiment
was but the advance Of large movement. At.
a skirInish we retired with one killed
After the return of our regiment and their re-
port, Gen Sullivan ordered the 18th Indiana 10
90 over the anne ground and see " nat they could
see. So they started on the sane journey. Be.
fore they got within mile of the place, however.
in which regiment had fallen into ambuscade
the fee, in all their force, made their appearance
suddenly on either SIDE of the IndianiaIs. and
fell on them with great fury, throwing them into
confusion that ended in a rOut The result was
that some thirty were killed and missing and
many lost their arms and came back to ca MP
without them-say about one third of the regi-
meut
We should have staed that two companies OF
cavalry accompanied the Indiana regiment and
that they escaped only by swimming the river.
And We should have also stated that our regi-
ment started at IL o'clock at night, while the In
dianians started out in daylight, which accounts
for our getting along SO much further into the
loop than they did.

Gloomy enough is the present aspect of our
public affairs. Radicalism appears TO exercise a
controlling influence in the councils of the nation
Our latest advices from Washington indicate that
the order Of General HUNTER will be the policy
Of the Republican party. with the sanction OF
Mr.. LINCOLN, within a brief period. There is
also prevailing impression at the National
Capital that before ninety days have transpired
We shall be embrOiled in a war with England and
France. Such the views entertained by in
telligent gentlemen who have recently visited
Washington We most sincerely hope that these
gloomy forebOdings may not be realized but it is
wise to look danger in the face and prepare for
for II. The great want OF the times is a states
man who can comprehend the situation Of the
country. and who has the sagacity. patriotism
and holiness TO safely guide US out of yur diff

An English lads, Mrs. Elena Lowe
who was arrested at Boston, and who's
son was with her, having come with
commission in the rebel army, has ais
been confined at this institution. Th
son was afterwards sent to Fort Waffei
and she returned to England.
Besides the above there were sofiil
eight or ten persons arrested at Alexan
dria and in this city, whose name are re
membered, and who after being confined
at this prison, were shortly afterwards
liberated, on taking the oath OF ale
glance.
Miss Ellie NJ Pool, alas Stewart, was
arrested and brought to the prison on the
llth of August, 1861. She came from
Wheeling, where after having been con-
fined for some time in the prison there,
she made her escape, by tying the sheets
together and letting herself down from
the prison window. She had been in
communication with the rebel leaders of
Kentucky, advising them to make certain
changes in their plan of operations
| When arrested the second time, within
ten miles of the enemy's lines in Ken
lucky, 81 500 of unexpended money, fur
nished by the rebels, was found upon her
person. She had been correspondent
of the Richmond Enquirer and the Balti-
more Exchange. Miss Pool is yet in con-
inement in the sixteenth street Jail.
Among the number yet confined here
Is Mrs. Baxley, formerly resident of
Baltimore. She was arrested on the 23d
of December. She had just come from
Richmond, and had been in conversation
with JEFF. Davis, from whom she had OBJ
tanned commission in the rebel army for
her lover DR.. Brown. She is, as she rep
resents herself, very explosive woman,
and it was from this fact that her arrest |
took place on board of the boat, while ap- !
preaching Baltimore from Richmond
This woman has refused to sleep under q |

pany them.

/ How, then, does Louis Napoleon nov
stand? The rival and enemy of England
Well, you say all this difficulty in Amer
| lea is about slavery. There is no peopl,
upon the earth to-day as strongly anti
slavery as the French. Taking into view
this fact along with the fact that Napole
on is the hereditary enemy of England
that he has navy equal nearly to tha
of Great Britain, and an army hve time:
superior, does it seem likely that he viii
lose so favorable an opportunity of crush
ing his most formidable rivalf Let Eng
land interfere in the affairs of this nation,
Napoleon unites all tine nations of Europe
he puts down his rival without invad-
ing England, and that he intends to do
just as certain as John Bull interferes in
behalf of the Southern States.
GOVERNMENT OR NOT?-EURoPE's VIEWS.
But, my friends, the great and the all
absorbing question now is Shallwe have
a Government or shall we not?" and
that question med,ls a great deal more than
that. Many men in Europe believe that
this country can never conquer rebell-
ion. have frequently heard ministers
of state in Europe declare that there new
er can be strength enough in republic to
hold it together. The old King of Prus-
sia, after reading the accounts of the una
nimity with which the people of the loval
States rushed to the support of the Gov
ernment after the fall of Sumpter, inuliir-
ed Of me if it could be possible that in
republic twenty millions of people could
be rallied as one man TO the defense of
the laws? The nations of Europe do not
realize that we have any nerve orstrength.
They say the Government is too weak
Fellow citizens, if we shall succeed in put
ting down this infamous rebellion, and
maintaining the supremacy of the laws,
our Government will be thousand times
stronger than ever, both in itself and in
the eyes of the nations of the world. You
will have convinced the nations of the
world that in a republican form of govern
ment there cam be moral force and power
enough to sustain the laws. In view of
this fact the present contest is with refer
ance to the world at large, one of the most
important that has ever taken place
Whether we shall have Government or
lot isa question not for US alone but for
he iEtioas.
