ton Another fight upon the historic theatre OF
Manassas and Bull run may possibly be IN con-
| temptation.
General King is closely pressing the guerilla
chief Mosby, and has driven him beyond the
Blue Ridge, where he is very likely to be de-
molished.
We publish in this days HERALD interesting
extracts from the Mobile Evening Nesos of the
Sd instant, which portray in rebel language the
condition Of things in the bogus confederacy.
From the nervous style of the extracts it will be
readily inferred that in the latitude Of the rebel
EDITORS standpoint things look rather blue" for
the permanency Of the stars and bars" Recent
reverses seem to have disturbed the equilibrium
of the rebels in the extreme South, and the infer
ence Of the rebel sheet is that the people are go.
ing /" stark mad" General Joe Johnston, on q
recent visit to Mobile, declared it to be tho
most defensible seaport position in the Confede-
rate States," and that Mobile is to be defended
to the last.n
Our other quotations from Southern journals
are equally indicative Of failing cause.
From the Southwest we hear that the noun
tains in Northern Alabama are filed with de-
scrters from the armies Of Bragg apd Johnston.
West Tennessee is entirely cleared efigusrillAs.

Polish question still engages tho attention Of the
three great European Powers-France, Great
Britain and Austria. Tho tenor Of the common
note Of these Powers to Russia is not yet known;
but it is thought that non-acquescence in the con-
ditions suggested will inevitably lead to rupture
with Russia. The Emperor Of Austria has called

sovereigns have signifed their intention to be
presenLthe King of Prussia, however, declining.
The object of the conference is to elicit the feeling
of Germany and the empire in regard to Polish

The war feeling in France is in the ascendant,

Bourse.

upon as q menace to the British government.
The commercial intelligence shows little change.

A meeting Of politicians, mostly of the Bell.

The Albany Euening Journal, which is usually
tolerably correct on New York politics. but when
1t advances beyond the confines OF the State is sure
to get befogged, has made up table showing the
relative strength Of the two parties in the next

Pennsylvania delegation it claims thirteen for the
administration and allows the opposition but
eleven, while in our table we reverse the figures.

members elected, and the names of the republi-
cans who ran in opposition to them in their respec.
