threat, half-exhortation, to forcibly inter
fere in the suppression Of the revolt in this
country, the Daily Ne,os Of the 18th justly
observes:
From the moment that European sol
dicr shall set foot in the United States, tht
government Of that republic will enter up
on new era Of its existence. From tha
time forward return to the old policy o
limited arna,nent and political isolation
.HAll be at an end. A mighty democracy
full Of energy and sensitive to the quick
and the republic, while losing none Of thu
attractions which, drawing over to it the
millions Of Europe, guaranty its rapid
growth, will be compelled by the necessi
ties of its position to become and remain a
great military and naval Power. This is
not for the interest Of England, noI is it fol
the peace Os the world.

,1r. Train In Defence Of Ireland and

Mr.. Geo. Francis Train, who has resided
for several years in London, during recent
discussion in that city, made some remarks
in which he defended the Irish from num-
crous charges made against them by Eng.
lishmen. Here are a few extracts:

The London Money Market Review, Of
August S0th, says a circular has been ad-

given the following communication from

BALTIMORE, Sept. 25th.
The Americans special from Sharpsburg
says;
Our loss in killed and wounded in the
battle at Antietam, will be fully up to
10000. The official figures in two corps,
Summers and Hooker's, are as follows :
Summers corps, officers killed, Al, wound
ed, SO; enlisted men killed, 819; wounded,
3,708; missing, 46S; total for the corps,
5,209. Hooker's corps, Doubleday's di7i-
sion, killed 9s, wounded 669; Ricketts, 8
division, killed l52, wounded $50, miss
ing 1877; Mead's division, Pennsylvania
Reserves, killed 80, wounded 449, missing
%; total, 2,6l9. Burnsides loss in killed
and wounded will be about 1900. The to-
tai loss in these three corps, is therefore
6,428. The less in Franklin's and Banks
corps, now commanded by Williams, will
bring the casualties fully up to the total
stated, though there may be some consid-
cradle reduction in the number of the
missing.

FROM sIGEL,s CORPs.

CENTERvILLE, Sept. 25.
The advance Division of General Sigels
Corps, under command of Colonel Van
gilsa, reached this place Monday last via
Falls Church and Fairfax Court House.
No enemy were found on the road to in
terpose any obstacle to the progress of our
troops or to take possession of the forti-
fcations upon their arrival here, except
few scattering horsemen who fed before
our scouts could bring their carbines to
bear upon them.
On Tuesday General Stahl reached this
point with an additional force and he has
now command of the place and occupies the
house of Mrs. Whaley as his headquarters.
The usual precautions have been taken
to prevent a surprise by the enemy, and
since Monday scouting parties have been
sent out daily in different directions.

THAT far-seeing statesman, the late
Thomas Il. Benton, foresaw the disunion
movement some years ago, and boldly pre-
dicted it, although in denouncing Calhoun
and his scheme, he lost his position among
Southern leaders, which, during his life
time, was equivalent to political banish-
ment. In q letter to John N. Clayton,
written July q, 1866, Colonel Benton said !:
"BelieVe me, the feeling for disunion is
becoming current in the slave States, and
almost unanimous in some Of them, and a
letter like yours would do good in staying
it. The slavery question is a cover for the
rsRl motives, which are, with politicians,
ambition with the masses, a belief that
the Union works to the disadvantage Of the
South, and that they will do better separ-
ated. It is upon this feeling that the null
liners work, and mask their designs with
the dengers Of slavery, and are making
great progress"

A special correspondent writing from
Pensacola 10th, has the following items:
The steam frigate SusquehanDa, has been
condemned and will proceed home the first
opportunity.
The IroquOis has her machinery injured
and goes home soon.
The Winona made her passage through
an intricate passage and got into position
to enable her to fire over the canal with
effect at the enemy's gunboats, one of
which she was able to hit with three eleven
inch shells which rendered the rebel gun
boat unmanageable and prevented her from
steaming up the hsrbor.

shots of the fort which struck around her

FROM NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.
The Herald's Centreville correspondent
says one Of our cannon captured at the
last battle of Bull Run, was left bv the
rebels at Manassas, where it was two days
ago. A quantity of small arms, said to be
some 10000, picked up on the Bull Run
Battle field, have been left by the rebels at
Gainesville. Eight railroad cars which
our troops failed to destroy were still at
Brentville. Two locomotives were also
left there, but these the rebels have run off
There is considerable amount of Govern
ment property at different points on the
railroad.
Thecountry about Manassas, Centreville,
and intermediate points is more desolate
than ever, since the retreat of the Union
army after the battles Of Bull Run and the
advance of the rebels.
The Times has the following special:
W. 7. Dennis, military agent Of Mary
land, returned from Sharpsburg on Satur-
day, and furnishes some valuable inform
alton regarding the late battle there He

lgreed that the rebels suffered much more
severely than our men; owing to the supe-

lse Of the Indiana troops there.

SPEECH OF GENERAL WADsWORTH.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 90.
General Wadsworth was serenaded this
evening. He assumed that his friends came
TO congratulate him because he had re-
ceived the nomination as a candidate for
Governor Of the State of New York from
Convention composed of the truest friends
of the Government and the country, and
the most earnest supporters of the war
He said he had not earned this compli-
ment by any public service, for he held no
official position in his native State, but he
claimed in their choice a significance and
meaning plainly marked, that he had been
presented for the suffrage of the people by
men who believed that the rebellion can
and ought to be crushed, and who intend
to hold the country together at whatever
cost of blood, suffering and treasure. This
may require that it be one and free coun-
try and a refuge for men from all parts of
the world. That his nomination was made
in consequence of his believing what they
believe, and thinking what they think.
that we are fighting againsta base and sell
fish but still powerful aristocracy, and
while we are prosecuting the war boldly
and earnestly, we are bound by solemn OBJ
legation Of duty to use our rinfuence against
slavery, as far as we can, to put an end to
the struggle, in order to save the slaves of
white men engaged in the struggle. The
issue is made up that we are TO conquer or
be conquered by the aristocracy-thatw we
are either in the psngs of dissolution or
exorcism.
If we would save ourselves, we must
cast out this devil which has corrupted and
d1u~pn1aa F-,,, L. =
birth. He was frequently interrupted by
applause.
Governor Blair, of Michigan, in the
course of his speech, said, it had been said
that our armies we're to make another cir
Gle, but after this, God Almighty forbid
The country requires this battle to be
fought out Immediately, the blows falling
thick and fast. The time has come when
the people ask only for such leaders as will
lead our gallant armies to success. Men
and means are provided in abundance, and
if his advice were asked, he would say,
send to France for guillotine, and chop
off the heads of all incompetents and COW
ards, till we find men with the right stuff
in them. He wanted TO see the traitors
crushed and destroyed. They were not en-
titled to mercy. Abraham Lincoln, God
bless him, has given us a principle on
which the war can be fought, and has
struck at the root of the evil. The infer
nal devil, Slavery, should be taken by the
throat, and when it is strangled we shall
be free forever. He anticipated the most
beneficial results from the proclamation.
Ex-Governor Boutwell, Of Massachusetts
spoke in complimentary terms of the nom
ination of WadswOrth, and said in sup
porting the proclamation, the principles of
freedom are not bounded by race. Allmen
created in the image of their Maker, are
entitled to equal rights before the land
1t is the denial of this which has compelled
us to partake of the cup of humiliation to
its very dregs.
