LATEST FROM THE Upper POTOMAC.
The Enemy at Falling Water.

A dispatch from Gen. Hunter to the Gov.
ernmeut, received this morning, says that there
has been considerable skirmishing across the
river with the enemy, the latter occupying
Falling Water, on the Virginia side, and our
forces occupying willlamsport, on the Mary
land slde-the contest being for the river ford
between the two places.
There Is no evidence that any portion Of the
rebels have crossed the river at any point.
Up to this morning there is no evidence that
Gen. Early has been reinforced. In fact, the
situation on the Upper Potomac to-day is the
same as was stated in our ave O'Clock edition
last evening, which we republiSh below, with
the exception alluded to above of the sklrmIsh-
ing at Falling Water.
The affair at Winchester, on Saturday last,
in which Col. Mulligan was wounded, was
nothing more than q skirmish. Gen. Crook
was forced to fall back from Winchester by
finding his little command nanked upon the
right and left.
A similar movement of the enemy forced
Crook to evacuate Martinsburg and cross the
river to williamSpert At this point Crook
made stand and has prevented further ad-
vance OF Early. Such Is the situation to-day.
It must be remembered that General Crook
commanded only small portion OF Gen. Hun.
ter's army, while the remaining portions Of 1t
were doing Important duty elsewhere. Gen.
Crook, considering the number OF men he had,
and the fsct that the whole Of the raiding force
was pursuing him specially, did wonders to
keep them in check so we'll.
Gen. Crook has been promoted Major GEN.
eral, TO command in Western Virginia.

which seemed to throw some doubts upon the
realization Of his scheme, only produced the
effect Of making him send another sum Of
10000 roubles and two huge gold nuggets TO
the Government towards the furtherance Of the
plan. There is no reason why, with this enor-

WHAT THET THINK OF ENGLAND ON THE
CoSTnmr.-An English gentleman has been
writing to ono OF the London papers the opln-
Ions which he found expressed BY all the edu-
Gated men with whom he came into contact on
the continent. We quote:
"You In England,n say my friendB. ohaye
taken up q neighbours (Denmark's) quarrel
you have taken the cards out Of his hands, and
played them for him-you have played them
for him In such way as TO give all that his
antagonist asked-you have made him Bepa-
rately and Beyerally concede every point de.
manded- nowhere and at no moment has he
refused to follow the course on which you have
insisted, or turned aside from the sacrldces
which you have dictated; nor has he taken his
cards back into his own hands until the last
moment, when you yourselves have thrown
them up, and have left him alone and friend
less to play the remnant Of this miserable game
out for himself. Is not this literally what you
have donel"
One result Of this policy is an entire loss OF
influence as European power, involving the
following possible contingency, according to
this writer's Instructors,
"Nor, In all probability, will peace be the re-
ward Of your peaceful policy. Some minister
or people, prosuming on the past, will insult
youi and you are still too proud nation to
bear, without resenting 1t, q national insult
You will then find yourselves engaged in some
great war, standing alone and apart from The
sympathy Of Europe, and with the bitter renec.
tion that this had been spared had you known
how to speak In season few words Of brave
and honest meaning when the peace Of Europe
demanded It,"

might be better taken care Of than they could
be on board the Kearsarge. The ground of the
