News from Europe.

ST.JoHNs, N. F., Aug. 26.-The steamship
Hiberna from Galway on the 10Th inst, ar
rived off Cape Race at 2 o'clock this morning.
The news is three days later.
The London Times says it looks in vain for
any signs from America that the federals are
prepared to pursue with vigor the successes
recently gained. At all points each northern
army has become an army of occupation; and
instead of endeavoring to assist military meas
ures by conciiatory policy, Mr.. Lincoln, by
employing negroes to fight, is doing his best
to maks it necessary to hold every iuch of
ground in the southern states by sheer force.
The Daily News eulogizes president Lin
coins proclamation announcing system of
retaliation on the south in reference to the
treatment of negroes as prisoners of war. 1t
thinks it cannot fail to have very important
influence in the progress of the war and give
an immense impulse to negro recruiting.
The U. S. war steamer Kearsage, off Fayal,
chased and took possession of the Juno,
which, otter a strict search, was released and
allowed to proceed.
A characteristic letter from Garibaldi, dated
at Capera, August 6, is published. 1t is ad-
dressed to Abraham Lincoln, the HberatOr of
slaves in the republic of America, and re-
joces at his noble efforts for freedom and hui
man progress.
La France asserts that the acceptance of
the Mexican crown by the Archduke Maxi
miliBn is not doubtful, and believes negotia-
tons have been entered into to obtain the ad-
hesion of England. La France says the pres
ent government of Mexico will administer af-
fairs for year, to organize the country.

"BEwARE OF PIcKPooKETs." = This has
been a standing notice in railway stations
and elsewhere so long that it often fails to
put the innocent possessors of pocket books
on their guard against the infamous class it
names. Nevertheless the warning ought to
be given and obeyed. The unusual num-
beers of people, yesterday, on their way tie
and from the camp meeting at Sterling, see IN
also to have brought here skilful robbers.
We heard of three women and one man who
lost their purses in the Foster street station,
within a very short time of other. So sci
entifcally was it done in each case that
nothing whatever was known either of the
time or manner. The sums ranged from
nine to one hundred and fifty dollars. We
advise all our readers who carry money
about their persons, to heed the warning at
the head Of this paragraph, as diligently as
if they now read it for the first time in their

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Aug. 27.-Quantrelrs
men are scattered in their Businesses through
out the border counties, and are still being
hunted by all available troops from all parts
of the district. Many of them have abandoned
their worn horses and gone into the brush
afOot. They were all remounted at Lawrence
on horses captured, and went off leading their
own horses laden with plunder, nearly all of
which they abandoned in the chase before
they got far into Missouri. Over 800 horses
have already been taken by our troops, in
GLIDING some of those taken at Lawrence
Most Of the goods and money stolen have
been recovered and will, as far as is possible,
be restored
Reports that twenty-one more of Guam
trelhs men have been killed have been re-
ceiyed since yesterday, making total of
about eighty, which will probably be largely
increased before any considerable part of our
troops withdraw from pursuit. No prisoners
have been taken, and none will be. All
houses in which stolen.goods have been found
have been destroyed as well as all the houses
of known guerrillas, wherever our troops
have gone. Gen. Ewing intends to destroy
the houses of all persons in the border coun-
ties outside OF our military stations, who do
not remove by the 9th of September, in ODE
dience to II general order.

The organized bands of depredators in the
| army, who have been accustomed to forage
upon private account upon the impoverished
inhabitants of the surrounding country, have
nearly all been broken up by the prompt and
stringent measures of the provost department.
While no offensive operations of a general
character have taken place during the recent
warm weather, the cavalry under Mai Gen.
Pleasanton, have been always on the alert
scouting and picketing, and not a day has
passed which has not added to the list of rebel
prisoners, and some of these captures are of
an important character.
The provost guard have in confinement
about thirty unauthorized suffers or pedlers
who have found their way within our lines.
Such persons have heretofore given the de-
partment much trouble; but hereafter they
will be dealt with summariy. Our own and
the rebel pickets on the Rappahannock below
hold friendly intercourse daily; but no intel
lgence of importance is obtained by this
means. The rebels generally assert that the
heavy fighting is over for the season.
WAsnINGroN, Aug 27.--There is authority
for saying that the delay in the delivery of
tive-twenty bonds to those subscribing, is ow-
ing mainly to the riots in New York, which
prevented the engraver from finishing the
plates for the third series within the stipulated
time. The plates have now been delivered,
and it is believed that within ten days all ar
rearages will be brought up, and that the de-
liveries will thencetorward keep pace with the
subscriptions.

FORTRESS MONROE, Ang. 26.--Maior John
S. Stevenson, Lieut.. D. Chambers, and sixty
men of Roberts Sd Pennsylvania cavalry, left
here on Sunday, on the armed steamboat c.
2. Smith, and reached the Chickahomny riv-
er Monday morning. They proceeded ten
miles up the river, landing scouting parties
along the banks, and destroyed number of
small boats.
When about nine miles from the mouth of
the river the rebels met and attacked thirty of
Robinson's rebel cavalry and repused them.
No one was injured on our side. They then
shelled and destroyed the building used as
headquarters by Col. Robinson. Two more
rebels were captured, and after all the infor-
nation desired was obtained from them, they
were released. Having succeeded in all the
objects of the reconnaissance, the expedition
returned this afterpoOn.

Mosebys Operations in Virginia,
Moseby Dangerously Wounded.

New YORK, Aug 27.-The Times special
Washington dispatch says Mosby's operations
in our immediate front, are assuming gigantic
proportions. From Il band of sixty despera-
does his band has grown to eight Numbered
able bodied guerrillas, who prey upon every
thing that passes between Fairfax and War
rent0n. Early yesterday morning Win ms
whole force, he attacked Il suffers train be-
tween Centeryille and Bull Run, capturing 4
wagons with their teams, a number of govern
ment horses, and much other property, on its
way to the army.
y Washington dispatch in the Herald states
that it is generally believed that Moseby was
fatally wounded on Monday. 1t says :-'On
Monday Moseby led force toward Amman
dale, while portion of Whites command
secured the neghborhoOd of Falls Church
and Bailey's cross roads. Upon that day a
large drove of cattle and horses had been sent
out to the front from Alexandria. and the
horses falling behind the cattle, ard having
small escort, were attacked near Annandae
by Moseby, who succeeded in capturing
number of animals and escaping without loss.
A short time after the Sth Pennsylvania
cavalry came up, overlook the guerrillas, and
after short fight recaptured most of the
horses. The guerrillas scattered and fled as
far as Mills Cross Roads, where they collect
ed, and sent back a small wagon for a wound
ed officer who had been left near the scene of
the engagement Securing the wounded man,
the rebels passed up the Leesburg pike thro'
Drainsville. to which point they were pursued
by our cavalry without success.
All of the inhabitants along the route taken
by the guerrillas state that the wounded man
was Moseby, and that his injuries are regarded
by his men as being of very dangerous
character, the ball entering his back below
the shoulder blade. The wound bled pro-
fusely, and in many places on the route the
vehicle could be traced by the drops of blood
in the road. As the party were careful to car
ry the wounded man to Leesburg before he
could receive medical attention, it is very
probable that death has now ensued.

New YORK, Aug, 27.-The following i'm
portant case came up o-day in the supreme
court. Michael Barrett being held by Col
Nugent as soldier, application was made to
the supreme court for his release as being I'M
der eighteen years of age. In return to awrit
of habeas corpus, Col. Nugent states that
Barrett was arrested at the conscript camp
on Long Island, Boston harbor, where he was
accepted as a substitute after having deserted
from the 18Th New York cavalry. This was
denied by the counsel for the respondent.
Colonel Nugcnt therefore declined To produce
the body of Barrett, claiming that the court
had no jurisdiction in cases where parties are
held under military authority of the govern
ment of the United States. motion is now
made for an attachment against Col. Nugent
for not producing the body as directed by the
writ of habeas corpus: which was argued by
G. j. Joachinssen for the applicant and Il. j.
Classy for the provost marshal. The court
took the papers, and announced that the mo-
ton would be decided on Saturday next. The
counsel of the applicant stated in the argu-
ment that this was intended to be made test
case between the United States military and
the state civil authorities.
New YORK, Aug. PA writ of habeas
corpus has been issued against police com
missioner Acton, to-day, tor the body of a
person named Childs, who, it is alleged was
arrested by the police tor issuing seditous and
reasonable handbills. The commissioner re-
turned for answer, that the person was not in
his possession. The judge thereupon issued
writ of haeeas corpus against Gen. Candy
and provost marshal Nugent, returnable to-
morrow.

Forest City, which took nearly one thousand
conscripts from Long Island to Alexandra,
say that frequent threats were made on the

up, was found to have 5000 in his belt After
landing quite number escaped while on the
