No Hope for Foreign Intervention.

The Richmond Eram;ner of the 9Th
inst, has long editorial giving its opinion
on the manner in which England views the
present rebellion. The concluding para
graphs gives the editors views of the sub
ject in the following words:
"It is the interest of Great Britain that
this war shall 60 on until the North is
overwhelmed with debt and taxation, and
thoroughly exhausted of men, capital aud
materials for conducting successful rival
ry in manufacture and commerce; and
until, also, the South shall be every where
overruu, her slaves taken off, her labor
system completely overturned, and all the
circumstances which gave the South mon
opoly of the cotton culture, shall be de-
stroyed. The talk about her starving
operatives is the silly cant of women and
clergyman. England could better afford,
aud her government would prefer to see,
100000 of her operatives starved to
death, rather than to see the civil dissen-
sions of this country healed, and its affairs
embarked again on the career of prosperity
on which they were moving two years ago.
She has had the cunning, by heavy bribes
to controlling members of the Republican
party of the North, to inaugurate the pres
eut troubles, and despite the sentimen talism
which she is now preaching on the horrors
of war, she is the real instigator of the
aggressive measures Of the North against
the South. She has bad the address to
make the North-her rival in manufactures
and commerce-do her own work nnor tb.
South-her successful competitor in the
cotton culture. Her two rivals in matters
touching her vital interests are engaged in
deadly collision, and she would. this day,
choose rather that all her starving opera
tives should perish than that the North and
South should be at peace until their work
Of mutual destruction is completed"

THE WAR.

Our President continues to call for re.
cruits. 1t is said that in many parts vol.
unteering has so drained the country OF
willing warriors that resort must now be
had to drafting.
The common mode of drafting men is to
call together the militia where organized
or, where the militia are not organized, to
take the names of all able.bodied men as
given BY the census of the county put
all the names into box, and draw out the
number required these have to serve as
soldiers, under less favorable circumstances
than volunteers. Now, who can fail to see
that such men, forced into service, would be
of less value in the army than volunteers
But how shall We make them volunteer
that is the question!
Easily enough; take franklin advice. Call
together o company; or, if not organized
into militia, then call together the able
bodied, as given by the census, and having
the quota to be raised from the number,
proceed to bid for the chance, letting the
place to the lowest bidder; then for a Sec
ond man in like manner, till the quota is
filed. If the last man requires twice the
pay of the first, still each goes for his hire,
each is volunteer; and the sum total is
paid by the whole. MINER CAwKINs.

EMANCIPATION COMING.

The latest ouID KuSc from Washington is a
telegraphic statement that the President, a few
days since, submitted to q meeting of his Cab
met Q proclamation which he had drawn up,
declaring forever free the slaves of all rebels
who did not return to their allegiance b. the
LIST of December next; and that the issuance Of
the proclamation was deferred in consequence
Of the opposition made to it by Secretary Sew
ard and Post Master General Blair. The state
ment Of the telegraph may not be entirely
reliable, but that such proclamation is to be
discussed 10 the Cabinet, and agreed upon,
unless this rebellion is soon suppressed, no
sensible man doubts. Twelve months ago this
war might have been concluded without the
abolition Of Slavery-twelve months hence it
can have no such conclusion.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace
Behind q frowning providence,
He hides q smiling face"

From Lexington.

During the excitement at Lexington con-
sequent upon anticipa.ions of attack by
superior numbers, q large number Of build
ings were destroyed by Colonel Huston,
commanding the post, and large quantity
of hemp burned. Everything which could
give protection to an attacking force was
cleared away, as it was from the houses
that Prices sharpshooters last summer so
annoyed Col Mulligan's command. All

value OF bis property destroyed is supposed
to $4,000. We. of course, cannot Judge
OF the necessity Of these measures, but they
would probably not have been adopted with
out good cause. Better destroy the town
than surrender it IS at Indepeudence.-T.

GENERAL NEWS.

The first payments of the new postage
stamp currency was made BY The Treasury
Department ON 2lst inst. The currency is
delivered in sheets, which are perforated
like those of postage stamps. The stamps
are printed on bank note paper, and are
therefore more difficult of separation than
the old stamps. The public must therefore
be cautious when separating this currency,
and not mutilatc the notes, as their receipt
aud redemption by the various departments
are subject to the same restrictions as are
now in force for the United States notes,
namely: if any part of the note is missing,
a proportionate amount is deducted from the
nominal value. 7...s -1-l 6
The President has authorized Gov. Stan

exchanged for the 81 prisoners. The rebel
officers admitted loss of 250 killed and
wounded. We took 21S wagon loads of
forage aud 70 horses. We lost the KNAPP
sacks of two regiments.
General Morgan has thanked De Coursey
and Cochran for their gallantry. The
Knoxville papers give list Of 1O9 rebels
killed at Tazewell.
The Philadelphia Press has letter from
Pope's army, dated 22d, which said Sigel
had taken two thousand prisoners, who had
crossed the Rappahannock on bridge
which was destroyed by FIRE of Federal
battery, cutting off their retreat and forcing
surrender after loss of four hundred
killed and wounded.

GENERAL MITCHELL AND REBEL PROPERTY

GENERAL MITCHELL AND REBEL PROPERTY
The following extract from letter to the
Times, written from Gen. r. B. Mitchelrs
Brigade, fully refutes the charges made
against that gallant General of sympathy
with traitors. We we're con6dent'tha when
the facts became known he would prove
himself clear of returning negroes and
property to traitors: @
"Gen. Mitchell is doing thriving busi-
ness in cotton and negroes. Of the former
staple he has taken from the rebels, within
the last two or three weeks, four or Eve
hundred bales. Of this nearly two hun
dred bales we're seized Eve or six miles from
this place, last night, When it is remem-
bered that one bale of cotton is worth, at
this place, $3.50, It will be seen that Gen.
Mitchell is paying his way. OF negroes
he has an uncounted multitude, and won
derful variety. And still they come-ten,

From Sigel's Division.

A Rappahannock correspondent of .
Philadelphia paper states that on the morn
ing of the 21st, the rebels opened battery
on our centre, and continued vigorously to
throw shot and shell for several hours. A
little higher up, it was discovered that the
enemy had, during the night, erected q
bridge over the river. At this point tho
most brilliant and successful affair Of the
day is reported to have occurred. In the
vicinity of this bridge was one of SigePs
batteries, on which the rebels opened brisk
Gre, to which, for time, our battery re-
Piled with spirit
In little while our fire slackened and
theirs ceased, the battery having been appa-
rently silenced or Withdrawn. Three rebel
regiments now rushed across the bridge
and Sigel offered no opposition. Every
thing seemed favorable, but the scene soon
changed. No sooner had they crossed than
Sigel opened his batteries upon the bridge,
the fourth shot completely demolisbing it,
and at the same time deadly fire of mus
kerry assailed the rebels in front. There
retreat cut of, no hope left, few shots
from our battery, charge, and they are
ours. Not a man escaped. Nearly 1000
are said to have been captured and about
400 killed and wounded. The enemy hav-
ing failed in this, now hurled forward their
forces, and strove to outAank Sigel by
crossing at French's Ford but Gen. Po2e
ordered up Banks and Reno to the aid>ksf
oIgel, and the enemy were again repulsed

A FURTHER VENTILATION.

s Editors Usion: Rambler would feel
obliged to the editors for little nook b
this week paper in which to place a few
lines in reference to what is termed the
refutation Of the charges against the Chap
lain at Fort Riley.
The excessive modesty of said Chsplain
is quite amusing. He declines any further
communication with Rambler" than to
refer him to certain statements which be
has succeeded in obtaining, the first signed
by B. D. Palmer, and thirteen others Of the
same company. about which I will only
stop to say that l think fourteen out of one
hundred men is rather weak Endorsement.
l could say somethin about the manner in
which these signatures were obtained, but
having heard that some of the siguers
intend to have something to say for them
selves, renders it unnecessary for me to do
so at present. RAMBLER.
Editors onion Having in my 6rst
communication to your paper, promised to
notice some other parties at Fort Riley,
whom the boys think do not come quite up
to the mark, l propose to fulfill tha: prom
ise, by a few remarks On the official conduct
of the Commanding Officer of that Post.
My most intimate friends among the
boys, some of whom I have known since
they were little shavers, toddling arouod
bare footed, are very intelligent young men,
and their military experience is the basis Of
the few remarks shall make on this occa.
sion. @
As our Stste is under Martial Law, !"
aud the HaLes Corpus suspended in GER
tain cases, it might not be prudent for me
to say that the Commanding Officer neglects
this or that duty, or that be is . tyrant in
this or that instance. I shall therefore
merely inquire through your columns, if be
does all the duties required of him by Law
and Regulations. Does be have the stated
roll calls of his command supervised BY
commissioned officers, and absentees prop
erly punished" Quien iSd6es" Does he
have guard mounting daily, scn,inels posted
as required by military law7 Does he visit
the Hospital and see for himself that the
Surgeon and attendants do their duty, and
the sick soldiers have all the comforts that
the country SO fully provides? l think
not. Does he see that the Quartermaster
and Commissary Departments are properly
carried on, and no stale beef issued to the
troops, as the boys say, sometimes? Does
he have the Post properly policed, and see
that the Suffers premises and prices are
go. ?" Does he attend church every
Sabbath, and induce the boys to do like
wise? Does he see that the school is kept
as it ought to be? Not by any means !;
these are only portion of his shortcom-
ings, as told me by the boys. But as he
used to be an old neighbor Of mine, 10 the
times /" that tried mems SOUL" on the Dor
der, have made these remarks with the
hope that he may be induced to turn over q
new leaf. More anon-Yours,
RAMBLER,
