that European statesmen are bows in
their a-b abs in all that concerns n
knowledge of us and our affairs. +
Mr.. Seward by universal admis-
sion, was one Of the ablcst, if not the
ablest, Of our politicians three years
ago, and We cannot believe that he has
become so suddenly imbecile. He was
an anti-slavoIy man when it was not
yet prosperous TO be SO, before some OF
his critics were born, and if he now seis
a higher value on the merely territorial
integrity of the country than seems
wise to some 1T is only the natural re
suit of position which compcls him to
see and feel more keenlv than ANYTHING
else the weakness and danger which
have resulted from disunion in our re-
lations with foreign powers If we
have been able for three years to
thwart all designs ut Intervention, with
the war and ruin that would have fol
lowed, we owe it mainly 10 Mr.. Seward
and if his victories have been less nois,
aud less gratifying 60 our pride than
those in other fields, they have been nc
less effective, nor less deserving tho
gratitude Of his country

70 Hq1, GEN mr.:
A dispatch from Gen Grant, dated
6 o'clock this morning, Mt Harris
Shops, has Just been received. 1t is as
follows
"Ihe enemy came over on our left
last evening and attacked. They were
easily repulsed and with considerable
slaughter TO relieve Gen. Warren,
who was on the left speedily, Gen.
Meade ordered an attack by the bal
ance of our lines. Gen Hancock was
the only one who received the order in
time to make an attack before dark.
He drove the enemy from his en-
trenched slirmish line, and still holds
it. have no report of our losses, but
suppose them to be small
Other official dispatches mot from
Grant, were received at the same time
and give more details They are dated
yesterday Goth May s o'clock p. IN.
In the course of the afternoon War
rem had pushed down on our left until
his flank division under Crawford
reached a point abreast of Shady Grove
Church. Crawford, having got de-
tached from the rest of the line, was
attacked and crowded back a little.
The enemy then threw force which
appears to have consisted Of Ewell 5
corps, on Warren's left, attempting to
turn it, but was repulsed The en-
ga6ement was short, sharp and deci-
siye
Warren holds his ground at dis
lance of seven miles from Richmond.
He reports that he has taken a consid-
cradle number of prisoners, and that
there are many ebel dead on the field
OF his own losses he has not yet a re-
port. His later dispatch says the cu-
envy are moving troops to his left, APP
parently to cover the approach to Rich
mond in that direction.
Con our right an active conflict has
been raging ever since dark, but was
just closed. AS soon as the enemy at.
tackled the left of Warren, Wright and
Hancock were ordered to pitch in, but
do not seem to have got ready until
after nightfan. : No report has Yet beer
received from them"
The other dispatch above referred
7 to is dated at 6 O'Clock this morning
and states that in Hancock's attaci
last night, Col Brooks drove the eneln,
out of strong entrepched skirmisI

Mn. SECRETARY SEWARD In n recent
number of the TBANscIIIT we quoted a
strange paragraph from the Nergennes
Yermonter which evidently was inspired
by personal i'll will against Mr. Seward,
In strange contrast with that quotation
we give an extraei from recent mum
Der of the North American Rerer.
That highly respectable quarterly,
whose praise is worth something,
speaks of the secretary as a man whose
very faults lean to the side Of patriot
ism. 1t says
There seems to be a growing tenden-
cy OF late to underyalpe Mr. Seward.
That he should be spoken slightly OF
IN England is not to be wondered at
but that such sneers should be caught
up and repeated ia this country argues
pitiful proyincnism not very hatter-
ing to Gun independence. There is, tC
be sure, little Inconsistency IN tn,
charges brought against INN, On thai
side Of the water he is accused OF bias
ten, and on this, Of trucking. A mar
must have pretty fairly preserved, on'
would say, the becoming moderation o
stateslnanship. who is attacked on sucl
opposite grounds II Mr. Seward
s3netmes seem to foreign critics q lag
Tx too confident. We at least need hk
him nona TIC less for having faith j
the destiny Of his country. If his dis
patches now and then smach little
The schoolmaster, we must not forge
