FURTHER AND LATER PARTICULARS.

On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday last,
the I'd regiment United States Sharpshoot-
ers, Col. Fl. A. v. Post, commanding, were
advanced to the bank of the Rappahan-
mock. During the whole of the shelling
ing, the Sharpshooters supported our bat
teries and did terrible execution among the
enemy. On Friday afternoon company of
rebel cavalry crossed the river near the
centre, to the right of the Rappahennock
but four of the whole company. Lieut..
sweetser, of company E, of this regiment,
captured a rebel Captain, one of the party.
Companies E and D of this regiment were
acting as skirmishers, when Lieut.. Sweet
ser saw head suddenly appear and dis
appear, among some rushes to the right,
and riding in that direction, discovered one
worthy rebel captain taking o cold bath,
up to his neck in water, where he had at

FOURTH DAY.

AS early as four o'clock n. M, our artil-
lery, all along the whole line, opened upon
the enemy from this side of the Rappahan-
mock Firing first commenced near Beal-
ton Station, and soon extended along the
whole line of the left wing. The enemy
promptly replied. For several hours this
terrific firing continued on both sides, and
was probably the heaviest artillery duel
ever fought on this continent. By9 o'clock
a. m. the firing somewhat abated on both
sides, until it finally stopped as if by mu-
tual agreement. Shell was fred almost al
together from both sides, though now and
then solid shot, and rumor adds, pieces of
railroad iron and large nails were inter-
mingled among the shells of the rebels
The Rappahannock bridge on the Orange
and Alexandria Railroad was blown up and
destroyed, after Hnrtsut7s brigade had
passed over. They were on the other side,
supporting Capt Matthews 1st Pennsylva-
MIA battery, when the whole were recalled,
and the bridge destroyed. The reason of
this was that the late heavy rains had
caused freshet, and that the bridge moved
slightly during the night. About o'clock
in the afternoon firing again commenced,
and lasted until dark, with what result to
either party is unknown.

The Angio-Frcnch stEntcnte Cordialc"
and the Anne rican Rebellion.


The handspring OF England's policy is fear
and hatred of Napoleon Ill. Submitting to the
appearance of an entente cord;ale, England's
statesmen despise and fear their "august ally"
aud constantly work against him to the extent
they dare go. Europe is upon the eve Of
strange events. Great changes are likely soon
to occur upon that continent and not the least
important of the signs OF the times is the fact
that England will not act with France in rela-
. ton to the recognition of the South. When the
rebellion first broke out England FASTENED to
give proof of her sympathy with the seeding
States, and since then her leading journals and
her leading statesmen have on all occasions be-
trayed a feeling of great i'll will towards the
North. AT the begioning OF the struggle England
was inclined to intervention and would gladly
have joined France in any action inimical to the
Washington government but at that period
Napoleon was not prepared to act. lie was
watching the turn OF affairs, ready to take ad
vantage Of them. But no brilliant opportunity
occurred. The Trent episode did, IL is true,
give him the occasion Of profiering some good
advice to Mr.. Lincoln and his Cnbinet; but, to
l.is deep chagrin, the advice was accepted.
Napoleon and Palmerston were probably never
so much surprised as when they found that the
United States government could act with firm
ness and reason. They we're told that the peo-
pie would force the American government to
keep back the traitors for whom the row was
made, but found out they were law abiding
people, having confidence in their rulers and
willing TO accept their decision.
This turn Of affairs quite defeated the p lans
Of Napoleon and Palmerston, and no good ex-
cuse was left for intervention Since then
events have occurred such as to change Eng
lands policy, and now she will not
hear Of Intervention. She sees Napoleon
entanglcd in that Mexican expedition,
and also that Gsribaldi has at last broken
through all bounds and is determined to free
Rome and Venice. Who can tell what share
England may not have had in this demons.ra-
ton OF the Liberator? 1t is her policy to coun-
teract the influence OF France; ard no greater
blow could be struck against Napoleon than
that Garibaldi, at the head Of hundreds Of
thousands Of Italians, should dictate to France
an immediate withdrawal from Rome When
Napoleon the Great returned from Elba the
French focked 20 his standard; their enthu.
siasm knew no bounds. Who can say that We
shah not witness similar demonstration in
favor of Gasibaldi? Who can predict that the
long tried people Of Italy will not rise as one
man aud follow HE Liberetorl II 20, what
changes may we not Witness Italy may be

Recruiting FOR the Army OF the Union
Its Facilities and It's DinicuIties

Now is the time for energy in recruiting.
The rebels have but a short time in which to
make a final struggle for the existence Of their
confederacy. They will not wait till our
armies are reinforced by the 100000 men
called !or by the President Their game is to
seek our armies and attack them before they
are reinforced and before they are united.
That they med tate an advance upon
Washington there is every reason to be
lieve; and tba, they will endeavor to do so be-
fore Mcclellan can effect junction with Pope
Is only what good generalship would suggest
The importance therefore, Of sending all the
reiniorcements that can be obtained to Wash
ington at once must be obvious to every un-
derstanding.
There never were such facilities for recruit
ing before. The bounties given by the State
and municipal authorities are without exam
pie. The cause Of the Union is noble one
a cause which is calculated 20 call forth the
patriotism of the whole nation. The vital in
terests Of the country and the wishes of the
people demand that The war shaA be short
one. II j. in the power Of our young men be-
tween eighteen and forty-fve to materially aid
in making it short by volunteering, and not
waiting for the operation Of the nine months
draft. In war prompttnde is everything.
Time lost cannot be recalled. The opportu-
nifty, therefore, to do the country glorious
service is the present moment. Now is the
accepted time; now is the day Of salvation.
The difficulties in the way of recruiting are
great. The abolition journals and demagogues
have done and are doing their utmost TO weaken
the public confidence in our generals and in
the government, as we'll as in the ultimate sue
cess Of the cause. By their meddlng with the
army when Scott was in command they caused
the disaster OF Bull run thirteen months ago.
BY their intrigues against General Mcclellan
they caused bis army to be split up and beaten
in detail by the concentrated armies Of the
South. AT the same time they stopped enlist.
ments, and said we had 10000 men More than
we needed, while they represented the insur.
gent force as handful that 10000 men would
be more than sufficient to whip into the Gulf Of
Mexico. For the results which followed such
men as Sumner, Wade, Wilson, Fessenden
Phillips and Greeley are responsible to God

They have thus discouraged onlstments. but

ought now to come forward, They have also

All these and stranger things hang In the
balance, for Garibaldi is moving, and who
eau tell where he will stops EnglaCd's states
men see these things, and they no longer dream
of Intervention in our affairs. They viii not
act in concert with France now, for they are
aware that Napoleon's power is on the wane
As last and more stupent.ous consequence or
coming events, Napoleon, enraged by the con-
duct of England, may cast his last great stake,
and make war upon his present ally. When
we have ended our present strife--which must
now terminate soon--we shall witness strange
events on the other side of the Atlantic.
Purified by our present trials, and better pre-
pared to enjoy the benefits of self-government,
we shall, as order and peace visit us once more,
witness the rotten despotisms of Europe crum-
bic to the earth before the awakened energies
Of their subjects; and not the least agent in
bringing about such result will have been the
conviction in the minds of the people of Europe
that our form of government is the only true,
the only dignifed one. Rising in our might, we
are now proving to the world the real power of
our great nation. The world will wonder at
the exhibition; and, as we said above, the
example will prove fatal to the despotisms of
Europe.

INJURED INN0CENCE-JoHN BULL ON THE CAP
rURE OF THE STEAMER ADErA.-Our friends on
the other side of the Atlantic do not like our
interference with the Anglo-rebel vessels in the
neghborhood Of the Bahamas, no matter what
Earl Russell may say.
The capture Of the Adela by the Quaker City
is looked upon as an outrage fully equal to the
Trent affair. An article in the London Post Of
August7 says:-'Thus, when on her voyage from
one Of our West India ports by the most direct
route to another, that of her destination, which
she had almost reached, she was, without the
slightest pretext Of iHegality in her voyage,
chased, fired upon, and at length, after being
seriously hit and in danger Of destruction, was
obliged to submit to capture"
The writer Of the above should have waited
patiently until oil the facts of the case were
developed. Forming an opinion as to the right
or wrong of capture on the high seas is not
proper until an investigation has taken place
He should recollect there was. nothing wrong in
firing at the Adela after four shots were fired
ahead and astern for the purpose of notifying
her commander that the vessel in chase was de-
sirous of speaking him. 1t is well understood
between the vessels of all nations that blank
shot, even, is signal to heave TO; and if, after
several are fired, blank or shotted, in the drec-
ton Of the chase, she declines to notice them,
she is then liable to be considered suspicious
character and fired at.
The claim that the Adela was without "the
slightest prctext Of illegality in her voyage"
has been fully set aside by the testimony OF her
FIRST officer, who says that he agreed with her
owners for ten pounds per month as his wages,
and that he was to receive ten pounds additional
every time she ran the blockade. He also says
that he had number of letters from parties in
England for residents of Charleston, S. G.
The indignant Englishman should have
waited until he had heard these facts, and
not, on the furry Of the moment, have
tried to force himself into q puncaeon
when barrel would have held him with
out difficulty. He may feel assured that
any steamer under the English flag cruising
about the Bahamas-with the exception Of the
regular packets-are after no good and If cap
tured will no doubt prove good prizes; and if
he will only wait in future, keep cool, and
abide by the decision Of our prize courts, he
will find that our cruisers make but few seizures
that are not justifab!e.

THE REBEL ARMY OF VIRGINIA AND IT'S
PRESENT MOVEMENTS AND DEsIoNs.-The impress
sion now widely prevails that the bulk Of the
rebel army Of Richmond is now moving north
ward under Lee and Stonewall Jackson for the
annihilation Of General Pope and dash upon
Washington by way Of Manassas, or for raid
on grand scale down the valley of the Shenan-
doah and into Maryland, and into Washington
by that route, before Mcclellan or our new
regiments can come to the rescue
This is very plausible theory, and there
may be something in it, We dare say, however
that General Pope will not be caught mapping,
and that General Halleck is well advised Of
the enemy's movements and will be well
prepared to spoil their plans, aud, perhaps,
when and where they least expect it. From the
simple fact that the rebels cannot subsist an
army except by their railroads, we have no
fears that they can initiate on a large scale the
late astonishing raids of Stonewall Jackson in
any direction north Of Gordonsviile. But il
they find their game blocked towards Washing
ton they may, perhaps, abandon Virginia and
move off into East Tennessee, to overwhelm
Buell. and push on to Nashville, and thence into
Kentucky.
AT all events, while General Hallcck is col
lecting his forces for settlement with Stone
wall Jackson, whatever may be the extent OF
his army, let us push forward our new regi-
ments as fast as possible so that the work may
this time be rendered complete and decisive in
the complete expulsion of the rebels from
virginia
The New York herald., 1862-08-22

| unless their cro.chets should be adopted, well
knowing that the people would never submit to
abolition dictation in war to suppress rebel
lion iomented by the abolItionists themselves
for the very purpose Of dissolving the Union.
There is one strong proof against their good
faith and that is that they have not enlisted in
the armies of the Union. Greeley recently
said there were 100000 lighting men of the fac
ton who would not draw sword for the cause
They want to enjoy the spoils of Office at home
and vote their tickets, while democrats and con-
seryatives go to the field. The radicals dis
courage enlistments by attacking the President
and representing him as incompetent-no better
than branless tortoise.
Lastly, they discourage enlistments by divid-
ing the North and uniting the South as one
man, and arousing its determination to resist to
the last by urging measures Of wholesale
emancipation, the arming of the negroes and
seryile instructions, all of which are impracti-
cable, while they exasperate the rebels and
nerve them to desperation. The majority of
the people of the North frown upon these
barbarous and savage measures, and hence re-
cruiting and enlstments are embarrassed.
But all these causes of Encouragement ought
to be as SO many incentives to those who desire
to save the Union from its peril before it is too
late. There is only the more need of exertion
and of individual sacrifice of men and money.
Let those who have not the health and strength
to go supply the funds for substitutes Let all
the troops enlisted under the new call 60 for
ward to Washington at once. Let them not
wait for drill or organization. They can be
drilled and organized there; and, if necessity
requires it, they can do some good fighting
without either drill or organization. They can
Gil up the ranks Of decimated regiments, whose
veterans will soon teach the raw recruits their
duty and mould them to the skill, the spirit and
temper of the organizations by which they will
be absorbed and assmilated. Not a day nor
m hour is to be lost. What is done let it be
done quickly.
