gotistion, the object Of which was TO bring about
either diplomatic Intervention Of the two maritime
Powers in tho Anglo-American conflict, the recog-
milton of the South by the principal Governments Of
Europe. Dispatches to this effect had already been
sent to M. Mercier, when the capture Of Island No.

which were perhaps rather premature. The French
Government, which has long been besisating on the
point of taking sides against the North, and which
will do well to hesitate the end. may have deemed
that the battle Of Ptsburg did not mark favorable
moment for changing from reflection to action,
especially when the country testies by unequivocai
signs its increasing sympathy with the North. Such
is the story Of the Independence Beige. This story
co 4tains particulars of which 30 little has hitherto
transpired to the public, that we should have hes-
ted to call it to the attention OF our readers not
whist md the credit which the Independence Beige
enjoys were it not that the language of the Co"sf'

right to employ whomscever he will to manage
it. If he chooses fool OF knave, who know,
nothing of the law, or only enough to keep oui

among lawyers, even to tho taking of unfair
advantages not only of clients, but of each

It ia tho Presidents right to DO this, and, II
he does we shall defer to his judgment. But
hear in mind that be will do this, if at all, for
tho sake of Kentucky. Maryland, New.Jersey,
&c. not because he deems it the true way to
recover Georgia to the Union. 1t is Northern
and Border-State conservatism, so called, Lot

pels him to fight treason in gloves. We shall

Slavery and reconstruct the Union. If any one
demurs to this, we ask him to tell us ont Of
what rare material he proposes to construct

Whatever may be the immediate result, we
rejoice that Gen. Hunter has seen fit to make
and promulgate bis Order. 1t will compel the
adol ION of authoritative and uniform reguia-
iion- covering the whole ground. Hitherto,
every General in command has been left Tree
to issue such Orders and PrOclamatio1s as he
chose, and the inevitable result is most ad-
nred disorder. One protects all who come to
his camp; another forbids negroes to como
within his lines at oil. What is needed Is
simple, clear comprehensive Order from head
quarters, prescribing the treatment OF each
class of persons coming TO us from the kebe'
lines, aud telling slaves, and especially the
,layes of Rebels, just what they have TO

The repeated asseverations Of the Indfpend

The repeated asseverations Of the hdtpend-
anee Beige that the English and French Gov
crnments are in ncgotiatiation for Intervention
in tho United States, and that tho visit of
Count Mercer to Richmond was connected
with such project gain importance when we
find that devoted friend Of the interests of the
Union, tho Journal des DtbaiS, inclined TO
credit them to the extent indicated in the fol-
lowing article:
"The numerous Paris letters in the Indegendanee
Belge OF to-day are largely devoted to comment, on
the Journey OF NJ. MERCER to Richmond. This visit
of the Minister Of France to the capital OF the
South would have been decisive matter few DAYS
ago; certainly IT would have been 10 before the
battle of Pitsburg. 1t may be that that battle puts
new phase upon the significance Of step al which

fame and rank at the South and West. CAPT
Dahlgren Of the Washington Navy-Yard an
Assistant Inspector of Ordnance, is not likely
valuable as his services are, to rise above tn
rank of Commander in this war. Lieut.
II. A. Wise of the Ordnance Buresl
will probably remain lieutenant simply BE-
cause peculiar qualifications for hs preseui
post deprive him Of the chance of more
active service. We presume that all thess
officers. and probably others, in like situations,
cannot we'll be spared from the places in which
they are kept, bnt it would certainly be jus,
either that they should have the opportunity
of winning distinction, or that there should
be some compensation for the want of it in an
advancement in rank with their fellows. 10

of the Navy, now before Congress- this polu'
probably will not be forgotten.

Excluding the Free Blacks, the numbers OF
Whites and Of Slaves in these States is proba-
bly, Just about equal.
Gen. Hunter has small army-we are not
at liberty to say bow snall-wherewiih to con-
front these Two Millions Of practically hostile
people, for the slaves do the bidding of the
whites, who are intensely and in effect universally
Rebel. He is too weak 10 advance, and the
region to which he is confined ia unhealthy for
Northern troops. II is not possible Just now to
spare him more regiments, and be is sick Of
doing nothing. All the negroes on the islands
are willing to work and many of them to fgh,
for the Union cause, provided that cause means
Freedom for themselves. Otherwise, why should
they be! He has long enough bidden the
Whites to his feast aud they stubbornly refuse
to come, 50 he goes out into the highways and
bitches and asks the poor and despised to taks
their places. Say it is bold step if you will,
but can you intelIigently pronounce it rash
