EUROPEAN VIEWS OF THE SOUTHERN REBEL
uoN.-Our telegraphic advices from Cape
Race inform US of the arrival of the steamer
Scotia off that place. Her mails will not come
to hand for few days more; but as the steam
vessels which left this and other ports Of the
United States with details of the battles of
Gettysburg have arrived in England, we are
satisfied that the European public are now
fully informed of the results of that splendid
victory to the arms Of the Union. The English
press will naturally be greatly dissatisfied with
the results Of this battle. As o decisive victory
in our favor 1t proves nothing to them against
the Southern rebellion; had our forces been re-
pulsed and defeated il would have proved
everything against us. Now our European
friends are looking forward to the fate Of
vicksburg and Port Hudson as the decisive test
Of the campaign. We have not kept our
transatlantic cousins In doubt very long The
next mail that arrived at Southampton in
formed them OF the fall Of these strongholds oi
the rebels on the Mississippi, and very shortly
after they will hear Of the active resumption OF
trade and commerce along the whole extent OF
that magnificent river. Then, according to the
prophecy Of the London Times, 'the question
/ will be settled"

SCAMMoN's CAVALRY RAID.-The recent cap
ture Of Wytheville, Virginia, by the cavalry
and mounted infantry under General Scammon,
is success Of great Importance. Wytheville is
located upon the great Virginia and Tennessee
Railroad, which runs from Richmond down to
Knoxville and Chattanooga, and by which the
rebels could either reinforce Bragg's army or
bring that army on to Richmond to reinforce
Lee. During the first year Of the war over
thirty thousand rebel troops came into Virginia
from the Southwest by this road. So important
point was Wytheville then considered by the
rebels that Floyd, the thieving Secretary and
rebel general, was sent there Immediately after
Virginia seeded, and there issued his first order
calling for arms and men. Wytheville has been
carefully guarded by the rebels ever since that
time, although the railroad has been tapped by
our cavalry at various other points, and espe-
cially by General Carter, near Knoxville. The
recent attack upon Wytheville is the first we
have made, however, and, as it proved success
full, il may materially assist Rosecrans In
coming up with Bragg and giving him that
decisive thrashing which has been long impend-
ing, but cannot be much longer delayed.

Tue OPENING OF THE MISSISSIPPI arri-

from st. Louis Is the first substantial preof that
the Mississippi river has been opened to COM

half years by rebel batteries This reopening
Of the Mississippi is also the practical result of
the victories Of Grant at vicksburg and Banks
at Port Hudson. Rear Admiral Porter has just
issued an order at Cairo promising regular
weekly convoy from Cairo to vicksburg, and
from vicksburg TO New Orleans for all COM
mercial vessels and It is said that the Post
master General will soon send the United States
mail by this route. These proceedings insure
the free passage Of the Father of Waters, and
mark great era in the history of this rebel

@- The New York Herald has new
sensation at least once week if not often
er. The last came to hand yesterday
According to this reliable report, our
Government is about to take up the cud-
gels to expel the French from Mexico, and
is bent upon playing the very deuce with
Louis Napoleon's new crusade in behalf of
the ''Latin race" in America, the cause of
order, civilization, universal peace, &c!
We don't know what may be the purpo-
ses of the Administration relative to Mexi-
cor where or how it proposes to check
mate the French Emperor. But we think
we may safely assume that, whatever it
purposes, it has not communicated it's in
tentions to any correspondent Of the Her
aid. 1t is generally safe to assert that any
statement Of the designs of the Govern
ment made by the Herald in advance of
or unconfrmed by, other authority is a
mere guess, or lie manufactured out of
whole cloth. We do not doubt that the
acts of the French in Mexico are most jeal-
ously watched by our Government, Or that
a time will come for action. When it does
it is probable that we shall have the an
nouncement from a more reliable and re-
spectacle source than the sensation mon

ND- Old Buchanan is reported to be ter
ribly excited about the discovery of his
correspondence with JEFF. Davis. The old
villain need not alarm himself. There isn't
any possibility of his finding deeper per-
dition than that which he is now suffering.
Every body is satisfied of his completely
with the traitors from the beginning. The
positive proof might show how, and how
deeply, he trod the path of treason and
what reward he expected from the conspi-
rators. But it would not highten his infa-
my in the minds Of any observer of past
and current events. So he need not alarm
himself. mo attempt will probably be
made to punish him, though the proof
should be as distinct as the sun at noon
day. He will be permitted to live out his
allotted span, an object of contempt and
loathing among men, his mere existence
being the severest punishment that can be
inflicted. He need not dread the halter
much as he may deserve it. That will be
reserved for the more daring villains of
whom poor "old Buck'' was the plant and
willing tool. Men will execrate his MEM
DRY, but they will not take the trouble to
hang creature they SO heartily despise.
