Cool FOR THIS WARM WEArHER.-In an
article on the designs Of the French In Mexico
the Times has the following:-"The time is not
far distant when no copperhead or secession
journal in our midst will dare sustain the
schemes Of Napoleon IN Mexico" This is re-
freshingly impudent on the part of journal
which has all along been the warm panegyrist
and defender Of the French Emperor, so much
so as justly to bring upon it the suspicion Of
being his paid advocate.

IycREDuLrTr ABOUT THE FALL OF vIcxsBrRe.-
In many Of the rural districts Of France there
are people who believe that the First Napoleon
still controls the destinies Of the empire. The
only thing we know OF that matches this "a
the doubt that continues to prevail In regard
to the capture Of vicksburg. The Official des-
patch OF Admiral Porter and the semi-orlcial
assurances received from Washington have all
proved insufficient TO bring conviction home to
the minds Of the skeptical. And these are not
merely secessionist sympathizers, but.msn Of in.
telligcnce and undoubted loyalty. What does
this hardness Of belief prove' Simply that the
War Department has 80 often played upon the

The Rebel. PRrvArEERs.-We hear Of more
outrages committed upon our shipping by the
rebel pirates, so near to our harbors as to
cause astonishment that they can be done with
impunity. None of these pirates have as
yet been captured. Secretary Welles seems
incapable of successfully arranging matters 80
that we may be rid of these pests, spite of the
aid which has been offered him by the mer-
chants and dcapitaiists or our larger cities. 1t is
really remarkable that - yet we have accom-
plisted nothing towards reducing the number
or these rebel privateers; and we think It is
time that Mr.. Lincoln should take the matter in
hand and see that stncieHk measures be adopted
to save our commefce from utter ruin. 1t Is
most disgraceful that's possessing such naval
force, We should be at the mercy of a few dar-
ing rebel pirates. Some one Is TO blame
for this result, and It is, we repeat, the duty of
the head Of the administration to attend to this
matter ct once.

GREELEY DENYING HIS PANIO.-It Is q COM
mon practice with Greeley, after the lapse Of
q week or two. to deny any statement or opinion
Of his, If it suits the purpose Of the moment to
do so. All our readers will recollect how he
denied, In the face Of numerous articles in the
Tribune, that he ever proposed to let the
Southern States 60, and that they were only
contending for the principles Of the Declaration
of Independence We nailed him like
counterfeit coin by reproducing his very
words. In the same way he denied that
he expressed deep repentance for raising the
cry "On to Richmond p which led to the pre-
mature advance and defeat Of our army at Bull
run. We again quoted his words to prove 1t.
He also solemnly pledged himself that nine
hundred thousand abolitionists would como for
ward to sweep through the South II the Presi-
dent would issue tho emancipation proclama-
tion. When we afterwards called for the men,
Greeley denied that he had ever given any such
pledge. Once more we quoted the article from
his editorial columns, and he was silent.
Yesterday he denied that he showed the white
feather since the invasion Of Lee began to be
developed, or that he said anything about his
horses being watered In the Delaware or the
Hudson. Let us see On the 17th Of June the
editorial columns Of the Tribune contained these
words -
We trust this invasion ID meant to bs determined and
recoll II the rebels indeed masters lot them
prove Il, and lot US own II. II the rebels
their horses In the Delaware routing all the forces
can bring against them, shall be under foot and
we may as we'll own It,
On the 26th Of June. under the caption Of
" The Rebels Coming North !" Greeley resigns
himself quietly to his apprehended doom, and
says -" If Lee can conquer US, SO be It'll" In
another number Of the Tribune the practica-
bility of Lees crossing the Susquehanna is
pointed out, and his easy capture Of Harrisburg,
Philadelphia and New York, inasmuch as the
Cumberland valley extends into Westchester
county, and would afford the rebel general
every facility for the conquest. The HERALD
and other journals adverted to these passages
at the time as evidences of -Greeleys abject
cowardice. Having got partially over his
fright, he now Indignantly denies that he ever
shiyered in his old boots. But the quotations
we have given will show who is the g liar, SO
utterly without seKrespect or shame" :
