of Msgruder's conquest, BY avoiding. BY

conscription. took up his residence at
Bagdsd, little town near the Port Of
Brazos, and about thirty miles from Ma

always a large number Of vessels lying

siderable contraband trade was carried
on there also. That at one time in June

Change of Policy Of England.
From the Philadelphia Press.l
!" LIVERPOOL, Sept.


LIVERPOOL, Sept. 10.
"Whatever newspaper reports, or even
dispatches from legation may say, you
need have no doubt about the Confederate
rams being stopped, as 1 have assurance
from one of the highest officials of the
British Government.
"An entire change has come over the
English Government in its relations with
us. and they are now most anxious to
cultivate a good feeling. The Confed-
crate cause is dead in England. The
plans of the Napoleon rebel Confederates,
which looked so promising a few weeks
ago, have suffered sad discontinue by
the change of feeling here.
"The Paris scheme was to embroil the
States and England, and then go in and
ests blish grand Southern empire with
q Napoleon Prince at its head, and Sill
dell, Davis & Co., as managers. The
departure of the rams was to produce the
wished-for result.
''1t is said that CONSERVATION reigns in

it does here in England. We have had
q narrow escape. but the crisis is past

rebels, England is with Us. / have

AN EVEN FIaHr.-The late battle in
Georgia is certainly in one respect the
most remarkable Of the war. We have
had several conflicts where both parties
claimed victory. Here. however, is one
which both parties seem inclined to re-
gard as defeat Rosecrans vas evident
ly forced to give ground. while the rebels
doubtless lost the most in killed and
wounded, and failed in accomplishing
what they had counted upon with great
apparent conference.-the annihilation OF
an army tl,y greatly ou.numbered.-
What little advantage they gained in
position was clearly purchased at a ruin
ous price. as the list Of their killed and
wounded generals shows. If the casu-
alties between officers and men are in any
thing like the usual proportion. the bat
tie OF Chattanooga must have been
the most destructive to the rebels
of any in the whole course of the war.
They report one Major General killed,
and three wounded. OfBrigadiers, four
killed and FIVE wounded To this most
fearful mortality list we have to present
the name of single General lost. that of
Brigadier General Lytle, OF Ohio. This
fact strongly indicates one very encoura-
ging circumstance, namely. that the rebels
fought with the desperate determination
of risking every thing for victory. aud
exposed themselves to a most terrible
Louis Democrat.

Robert Speer. aged eighteen. and David
Purington. of about the same age. slept
together in the Lawrence Republican of

telligence of them since which seems at
all reliable. is, that they were seen by q
colored man in the cellar under the same

wards going toward the Kansas River.
Various reports have reached their par
ents. such as that they were taken pris-
oners and shot. and that they had hur-
riedly pursued the enemy into Missouri.
