The telegraph brings European news containing the
usual specuations in regard TO Intervention, mediation
and on We give these things for what they may be
worth judging by the past, they are worth little or
nothing. but I'll y may reshadow something ia the fu
ture. That thing has not yet taken place. affords
no conclusive argument that il will take place,
aud b. Of the failure Of all signs 10 dry weather,
we must not iuftr that never will rain.
We do not know whether mediation Intervention
to be desired a, this time not 1t is true the end
OF this awful scouge of is something devouy to be
wished. But there evils more to be depreca-
ted than its continuance and we cannot but feel that

diced against by the oil our enem es
through whom alone they have received their informa
ton OF affairs 10 this country since the outbreak of hos
tities as well as before.
Perhaps after all, the policy of allowing the foreign
consus 10 remain, as SUCH although accredited by the
though far from being technically right in principe,
it turus out that but for their reports to their govern
ments no independent even tolerab'y truthful &C
count could have reached foreign countries Some CT
these consus have perhaps misrepesened matters and
done us harm Such said to be the Of the French
copsul at New Orleans but, general thing, we
believe their accounts have been calculated to do our
cause good and even the worst have been preferable to
the lying accounts sent out by the Yankee papers and
authorizes
As for England, her foreign policy Is one always hard
to understand because complicated with 50 many JAR
ring domestic and colonial interests of her extended and
Heterogeneous enipire There is either grievance,
" REFORM" or question Of some kind. Tie Irish
grievance" the municipal parliamt nary REFORM
the corn law question: the Indian problem, have their
turns The Indian problem s that which now presses
m s. uIgeuty for a solution
The great 5tpoy Instruction. i'll It's quehces has
resulted in breaking up the cid system by which the
British hold the Vast Indian Peninsula retanf
The machinery Of the Fast India Company has been
Dispersed with and the whole affair is brought direct ly
under The GrowD QUEEN Victoria being the first Of the
British onarchs to aid India to her other TILES SIZE
having been officially proclaimed as Q1eeD Of Great
! Britain and IraiaGd ard Of India Hndostan, We
forget which.
The re suhjogation oil India was Effected without
COST nor after tho experience OF the last few years could
! the former military system be relied upon without a
much larger proportion of European soldiers than the
Indian army had formerly contained. With the al
ready incurred expenses Of suhugation aud the anti
cpatcd heavy expenses OF retaining possession it al
once became evident that unless something was
done to increase the revenues of India, it,
exchequer would soon exhibit rightul balance on the
wrong side and lis administration civil and military
become charge on the home treasury. How to avoit
this and make both ends meet constitutes The great In
J; no for 10 in
cultivation of cotton there the government being tbt
great land owner and the land revenue being its mair
reliance for support. TO devel0pe this it is building
railroads and doing other things and to keep it for th
time being free from competition it is willing to let it
manufacturing population at home suffer for the wan
American cotton which If in the market at almost an
price, would supplant Indian cotton. Whether Eng
| land will succeed with cotton in India, whether sh
can venture farther to sacrifice her home laborin;
population to her Indian policy, and whethe
| if she does both these things, is likely to d.
them, Louis Napoleon will much longer sit quietly BY
and his people suffer- out of complacent regard TO

questions to which time alone give satisactor
answer
General Price has fought thirteen battles, aud SUI
ered no defeat and yet regards he retreat from Corintl
the rear of which he brought up and protected th
proudest occasion of his life He was in the saddle 70
days. and en- the retreat had to turn and fight and re
pulse the enemy six times all of which be did success
fully inficpg loss upon them, and bringing o.
everything in perfect safety. What HaIeck can mea
by lying so, is something than understand
and we may well add that it appears to US to b
rather an uDaccountable policy the part of ow
authorities that compels the public to depend for week
upon false accounts through lying Federal channels.
By the way, the Richmond Enquirer, of THURSDAY
has the following mysterious paragraph Whether
endorses the MlsSiss1Pplan or not does not appear

be manfestly mprudent TO speak specifically on
point at this time 1t will beak upon the public in
