OoO COUNSEL FROM AN UNEXPECTED 0VARTTR.

The New York World, though often wrong
in its views By virtue of its alliance with
party which bas not done all that loyal citizens
should do in great crisis like the present, has
the following very sensible paragraph upon
the spirit in which defeat should be received.
"The most important counsel we can offer
to our couutrymen when such great events are
impending is to fortify their minds against
discouragements from any possible result Of
the coming battle. We should cry shame up
on our soldiers, if they should finch and lose
the victory by want Of heroic steadiness. We
can fully trust them on that score bat car
we trust Ourselves2 1.-THE advance is beaten,
The reserve will come up with the same vigOF-
Gus alacrity as il all had gone we'll; they
would disgrace themselves il they gave up
while there was the slightest possibility of
success. The public sentiment of the country
stands in the same relation TO the whole army
that the reserve does to the advance. II the
country wavers and is cast down in case the
army is repulsed, we shall disgrace our man
hood as irretFievaby as we should by cowaF-
dice in battle. There is no use Of Offering any
counsel as to what the country should do il
we are victorious. Success is competent to
axe care of ITSELF But IT, contrary to our
hopes and expectation. we should be beaten, we
trust that every msn of position and infu-
ance, who loves his country, will set his face
ike flint against any talk or intimation Of
to fortune. We are in a crisis
when posterity cannot overlook us and since
We are certain to go into history, let Us sit for
,ur picture in decent attitude.

BRITISH SUBJECTS IN The REBEL ARMY.

In arguing the case of British subject,
conscripted in the rebel army, and brought BE-
fore the District Court at Richmond, July
29th, on ha6eaS corpus, the Confederate ccun-
sci argued that decision which would release
the party before the Court would turn 20,
600 able,bodied domiciled foreigners out Of
the army" This confesses that 10000 citi-
zens of foreign powers are conScrirted into the
rebel army to fight against the Government.
OF these probably two-thir1s are British SUBJ
jects Where is that jealcusly Of the British
Government lest irs subjects should voun-
tarily enlist in our army, which even calls
upon our Government to clear itself from the
suspicious fact OF stream of emigration from
Ireland to this country, while thousands of itg
subjects are dragged into the rebel army by coz.
scriplion from which service there is no escape
but death? If the British Government were
but tenth part as ready to protect its OWN
citizens, AS to shelter rebel commissioners and
pirates, would not the British lion roar over
this consumption of it's subjects!

To the People of the United States.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
,7li12y Or 1864.
, ours Tor the war,
A. L. SECHAND.

By an act of Congress, approved jane
80, 1864, the Secretary of the Treasury
is authorized to issue an amount not ex-
ceeding two hundred million of dollars
in Treasury notes, bearing interest at a
rate not exceeding seven and three tenths
per centum. redeemable after three years
from date, and to exchange the same for
lawful money. The Secretary is further
authorized to convert the same into
bonds, bearing interest at a rate not ex-
ceeding six per centum, payable in coin.
In pursuance of the authority thus con-
ferred, l now offer to the people of the
United States Treasury notes as described
in my advertisement dated July %, 1864.
The circumstances under which this
loan is asked FOR, and your aid invoked,
though differing widely from the exist
ing state of affairs three years ago, are
such as to afford equal encouragement
and security. Time, while proving that
the struggle for national unity was to ex-
ceed in duration and severity our worst
anticipatioEs, has tested the national
strength, and developed the national re-
sources, to an extent alike unexpected
and remarkable, exciting equal astoniSh-
ment at home and abroad. Three years
of war have burdened you with debt
which but three years since, would have
seemed beyond your ability to meet
Yet the accumulated wealth and produc-
tive energies of the nation have proved
to be so vast that it has been borne with
comparative ease, and peaceful future
would hardly feel its weight, As price
paid for national existence, and the pres
ervation OF free institutions; it does not
deserve moments consideration.
Thus far the war has been supported
and carried on, as it only could have
been, by people resolved at whatever
cost of blood and treasure, to transmit,
unimpaired. to pos;erity, the system OF
free government bequeathed to them by
the great men who framed it. This de-
liberate and patriotic resolve has devel-
oped power surprising even to themsel-
yes. 1t has shown that in less than q
century u nation has arisen, rpassed
in vigor and exhaustless in resources, able
to conduct, through a series of years, wal
on its most gigantic scale, and finding
itself, when near its close, almost unim
paired in all the material elements o.
power. 1t has, at the present moment
great armies in the field, facing the enemy

On Thursday night cur army recrossed
the North Anna in order to make flank
movement, it having been discovered in
cur advance on Tuesday and Wednesday
across the Virginia Central Riilroad that
Lee had position which could only be ts-
ken at great cost Of life His left wing
rested on Little River, and his right on g
large swamp, and every weak point in his

WASHINGTON May =.
Admiral Porter reports Of the release Of the
Mississippi squadron that was esught by low
water above the falls at Alexandria, gives glow
ing account Of how the feat was performed. The
idea ofeonstructing a dam to get back the water
originated with Lieutenant Colonel Bailey and
WasOf such anovel character that it Was ridieuled
by all the best engineers. However at the re-
quest Of Admiral Porter, General Banks furnish.
ed 5000 men to perform the work. For eight
days these men worked up TO their necks in
water, under boiling sun and at the expiration
Of that time portion Of Their work gave way.
Admiral Porter instantly mounted horse,
rode TO the upper vessels, and ordered the Lex
ington to pass the falls, # possible, and go
through the dam. Shs succeeded IN getting
over the falls, and then, with full head OF
steam, steared for the opening in the dam. All
ewes we're strained to watch her, all hearts beat
anxiOusly as she nesred the opening, where the
water was rushing through furlously. She
plunged in, went through and rounded to safely,
amid the cheers OF 500 soldiers. The Others
were, after much labor in repairing the dam,
safely brought over in like manner.
