foreign Powers beware of what they do, as we
intend to bring every offender to account so
soon as we dispose of our domestic troubles
The resources of the country in men and
money are unbounded. and it will be impossi-
BILE either for the rebels or their European
allies to make headway against us.
The FRIGHT OF THE NIGGERHEADs AND LOYAL
LEAoUERs.-It is worthy Of remark that the mig
gerheads and loyal leaguers were 80 frightened
by the invasion of Lees army that they scarce
ly celebrated the Fourth of July anywhere.
They left that duty and pleasure to the democ-
racy in the States Of Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, New York and elsewhere. In New York
the radical leaguers were not to be found. 1t
was only the loyal old league of Tammany
Hall, half century old, with the ivy around
its head, that celebrated the birthday Of Ameri-
can independence. Where were the leaguers
Hiding in their cellars in perfect panic, and
imagining that they already heard the sound Of
the rebel cannon from Hoboken Heights. The
great celebration of the leaguers which was to
have taken place in Philadelphia, and to be
attended by the President, also caved in. What
were the reasons? There were two. In the
first place, the loyal leaguers did not like the
principles Of the Declaration of Independence;
in the second place, they feared the invasion Of
the rebel army.
The alarm was intense. The principal radi-
cal journals may be taken as examples. The
Tribune said II Lee took Harrisburg-of which
there was great danger-he could water his
horses in the Delaware; and if he succeeded in
that there was no reason why he could not con-
tinue his march to the Hudson and into the city
Of New York, as the Cumberland valley really
extended into Westchester county, and we might
as we'll submit to the conqueror at onoe.
Then the Times let out the secret of its terror.
Previously it pretended to be very brave, like
superstitious boy in passing through church
yard at the witching time Of night" whist
ling to keep his courage up. But when it be-
lieved the danger all over it swooned away, like
a woman who strings her nerves to meet a
shock but fants when the peril is past. The
Times said:-
On the first, the second and the third days or July

midable in numbers, in discipline artillery aud in

While the battle was pending the Times hypo-
critically discoursed in q very different tone;
but here 1t confesses its weakness and calls for

ing shows that the danger is not all over yet.
Will the Times have another fainting fit, and
will the Tribune have another nightmare about

The TRIBUNE ON MEDIATIoN.-Poor Greeley
cannot endure the idea of reconstruction Of
the Union. A defeat of the rebels covers him
with grief and despair. A rebel victory would
I'LL him with joy and exultation. A little while
ago he gave aid and comfort to JEFF. Davis by
proposing to end the war by foreign interven-
ton on the lst Of May. Disappointed at the
failure Of this idea, he took heart again when
Lee invaded Pennsylvania, and Immediately
Disguised the country by clamoring tina. de-
feat of our army was inevitable, and that we
had better prepare to submit as soon a. posi-
BILE after the rebels watered their horses in the
Delaware. But the rebels did not water their
horses in the Delaware. On the contrary.
Meade routed them and sent them to the right
about, to drown themselves and their horses in
the Potomac. This Union victory filed poor
Greeley with anguish. He thought that his last
cy was annihilated. The capture Of vicksburg
increased his sufferings For several days be
arrayed himself in sackcloth and ashes, and
wept and walled and gnashed his teeth. He
has not felt so badly since Mcclellan
whipped the rebels ct Antietam. At last,
just in the nick Of time, he received letter from
his European agent, Colorado Jewstt. This en-
couraged him TO revive his mediation scheme
again. Now he is loudly calling upon Napo-
leon to interfere, and vehemently urging the
President to permit Intervention. Poor Greeley
can see no other way just at present to help
JEFF. Davis out of his dilemma. He knows that
If Napoleon's Intervention should be accepted
the recognition Of the bogus Southern con-
fedcracy would Immediately follow. For this
reason he begs and prays Napoleon to come
and assist the rebels Poor Greeley Reunion
will be bis ruin, and, knowing this, he has
struggled perseveringly to prevent US from
being successful. His efforts will all be in
vain, however, and, having labored so as
siduously for JEFF Davis, the best thing he can
do now is to prepare himself by fasting, prayer
and repentance, to share JEFF. Davis fate. The
life Of the Tribune philosopher has been very
