upon Petersburg, to avail himself Of the
chance that it might be sparingly gnui-
soned. Petersburg is still in Rebel occupation,
but Gen. Grant would not have been justified
in failing to make the attempt, and whatever
the cause Of failure thus far, it is in no way dis
couraging. 1t appears by an unofficial teie-
gram that our loss was 5000 in killed AID
wounded, but it is to be kept in mind that
solid advantage has been gained In return, and
that, like the battle Of Cold Harbor, this was

stroyed considerable portion of it. and
when the advance of Lees army ap-
pearcd arrested 1t by an unexpected attack
and withdrew safely from in face Of an over

from their surprise. Of course, it was impos-
sible for Con. Butler, with handful of troops.
to keep possession Of the rnilroad while the main
body of the Rebel force was coming down from
Drurys Bluff.
We rejoice in the order of retaliation which
Mr.. Stanton has sent to Gen. Foster, command
ing the Department Of the South. The Rebels
have had the folly to put five Union Generals,
whom they hold prisoners Of war, under fire in
Charleston, as If to protect that city by the
assumption that Con. Foster had no military
right to lombard it. So far is that from
being true, that no notice. even, was
necessary for the beginning Of bombardmcnt
the city having long been menaced, and hay

At the request Of Gen. Foster, the Secretary Of
War has sent five Rebel Generals 10 be placed
also under fire, and meantime the fire on
Charleston continues. There must come time
when the Rebels shall be made to understand

which have generally characterized the fors,r,

Inconsistency Of the British MINISTRY in fors:su
questions was recently given in the HousS Il
Commons, by Richard Golden, in reviewing tn
conduct OF tho tho 1cccgarnmsut toward China. A
the outbreak Of our Rebellion the Government
had fastened to proclaim its strict neutrality,
while privately all the chief members Of The
Cabinet felt no hesitation in admitting tbsi,
sympathy with the Rebels, and their hops
for their ultimate success. The case Of
China is very similar to ours, and theru
was every reason to suppose that
statesmen who insisted on neutrality in IL
American War, and protested themselves
delighted with the prospective dissolution Of the
Union, should have adopted similar policy ID
China. But the British Government e1psctal
greater facilities from the Imperislsts than from
Che Rebels, and therefore England, in comnm
with France. openly aided the Chinese Govern.
meut, even to the extent Of sending
to them auxiliary troops. Mr.. Cob
den eloquently showed the failure OF
this policy. He showed that England had
altogether failed in extending her trade by wa
and violence with nation which constitutes
third or fourth of the whole human race. 30
convincing were his arguments, that. according
to the gcneras testimony Of the English preSI
there was scarcely man in The House Who did
not arrive at the conclusion that the whole

years has been q mistake, neither beneficial -
