THE SITUATION

here with reference to the state of affairs
on the peninsula. Little information has
reached US relative to them since our last
issue, though that little affords increased
assurance that though General Mcclellan
had lost heavily in men in executing his
recent charge in front, he is in position
from which he will surely be able, in due
time, to accomplish the purpose of his
oampaign-the reduction of Richmond-that
is, unless the boasts of Richmond newspa-
pers of Saturday last be true, which is very
improbable. They claim to have driven"
our army from its late-position on the bank
our troops and have taken immense num-
bers of prisoners. No copies of these papers
have reached here. but accounts of their
contents have.

Blockading a port is always a difficult
thing to do, and requires perfect support
from the land side to make it effective To
blockade the southern ports successfully
was impossible with the small navy of the
United States at the beginning Of the war,
and was never absolute, although 1t be-
came so much as to, make blockade run
ming extremely dangerous near the close
of the war. river blockade was not so
difficult, after the troops on the land and
those in the gunboats COULD cooperate But
a seaport blockade was almost Impossible,
as tho gunboats had to stand out to sea to
such a distance from the hostile guns in
the forts that blockade runners could easily
slip in under fog and the line of gunboats
on guard was so thin. that a chase was al
most sure to prove disastrous because the
instant the blockade runner was under the
support of the shore. guns the chaser be-
came the chased, and hadato get out Of range
or run the risk of being sunk.
Examples Of Corporation.
Forts Henry and Donelson are an example
of what the navy and army could do when
they got together under men who knew how
to stick They were almost the first victo-
ries of the war, and they were complete.
Fort Henry fell first. and its garrison fed,
leaving behind its sick and wounded The
bcmbardment of Fort Henry was practi-
cally the first baptism of fire the new navy
had received, and the four ironclads and
two little wooden gunboats behaved SO nobly
that the whole north went mad with de-
light. Then came Donelson. Grant was as
new and untried as the navy which helped
him at Fort Henry. and the world won-'
was flashed north. After Fort Donelson
fell Generals Floyd and Pillow fed rather
than fall into the hands Of the government
they had renounced. leaving General Buck

from Fortress Monroe, announcing that
Generals Keyes and Fttz John Porter have
succeeded In getting into the important po-
sition on the left wing of the Army of the
Potomac they were ordered to take on
Thursday last, their preparations to take
which FASTENED the enemy's recent terrific
attack upon Gen. P.'s brave and effective
force.
Until It thus became certain here that
they had been able to get into line as the
left wing of the army Qnstead Of the re-
naming right wing, as up to Thursday
last. 1t was matter of doubt whether the
sacrifices we made in the great battle had
awaited aught. Now, however, it is clear
that the point for which so much was
risked has been most skillfully achieved.
Our loss proves to have been far heavier
from statements of two or three gentlemen
who left the White House on Saturday
morning. If that can possibly be compen-
stated for, the fact that the Army Of the
Potomac now stands in the position from
which Its chiefs regard the speedy fall Of
Richmond as inevitable. goes far to COM
pensate the country for it.
Our left flank now rests Immediately on
the bank of James river, while our right is

is now no longer necessary in their late po-
sitions; but practically adding much to the
active fighting strength of our army, whose
supplies of every description can be landed
direct from the transports almost imme
diately in their camps, under the protection
Of the navy's gunboats.
We need hardly add that the new position
of our army Is upon high ground on which

men who left the army, those of the navy
could carry nothing with them. The few
ships they had in charge were left behind.
The government proceeded to do as it did
in the late war with Spain, bought all sorts
and conditions of ships from New York,
ferry boats to luxurious yachts, which it
fitted up for transport service in some in
stances, and the best of the craft became
gun boats 1t is a conceded fact that the
strength of the United States navy at that
critical period lay in the weakness of its
adversary's fleet rather than In its own
prowess, for nobody could give a guess
what might happen If conflict upon the
seas ensued.
The chief duty Of the United States navy
so the people seemed to think, was to do
water guard-not an honorary position by
any means and a long ways from being
sinecure. 1t meant fight all along the
line.
Vessels Called Home
Most of the ships in foreign waters were
called home, but it took months to get them
here. The poor old tubs bore about as
much semblance to our splendid Oregon
which came sailing home round the Horn
in our last great emergency, as the Oregon
bears to steam launch. On land the con-
slant effort was to cut the rebellious states
off from their supply trains. When an army
Is no longer fed, it goes to pieces. A hungry

STAMP WORTH $500.
Philatelic Prize Possessed by Syracuse,
N. Y, Man.

1u1Aatellc TrlZe Possessed Dy syracuse,
N. Y, Man.
From the Syracuse Post-standard.
John F. Seybold of this city has added a
twelvepence (black) Canadian to his rare
collection of postage stamps. This may
not mean much to the uninitiated, but
speaks volumes to the philatelist. Its
rarity may be guessed when 1t Is known
that 1t Is valued at 5000, and Mr.. Seybold
says he would not part with it for a great
deal over that figure. The best informed
dealers and collectors agree that there are
not over thirty-five Of these stamps in the
world, while some of the more conserva-
tive place the number at thirteen. This
one Is on the original cover and Is the only
one known to exist in that form. the others
being separate stamps.
The stamp is Of the issue Of June IA, 1851,
81, 400 stamps issued, Of which the largest
number sent to a single office was to
Hamilton, which received 300 On May 1,
1857, the stamps not used were all de-
stroyed. The total number of stamps put
into circulation from the issue was 1.510.
The stamp purchased by Mr.. Seybold bears
a Hamilton postmark.
The stamps Of this issue were made by
Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edison Of New
York, who also printed the first issue OF
United States government stamps In 1s47.
At the time Of the issue Of the twelve
pence stamp the postage to England was
shilling Us cents sterling. the Cana
dian currency being at a discount. The
postage to the West Indies was twelve
pence and to the United States sixpence.
Therefore; about all Of the stamps went
either to the West Indies or came to this
country. few, II any, going outside Of the
two countries and Canada, those coming
to this country carrying. of course, a dou-
ble-weight letter. AS there were few, II
any, collectors, in the West Indies, the
| stamps sent to that country were about all
destroyed.

IN THE EARLY SIXTIES

The part that the navy Of the United
States took in the war of the rebellion has
never been exploited very much, and yet
for Its size its achievements were wonder
full. When Sumter's flag was fired on, the
navy of the United States consisted Of 1900
seasoned men. The greater part, OF this
navy was in distant waters. SOME Of the
vessels were off the coast Of Africa, others
IN Mediterranean waters, a small squadron
was on the Asiatic station, and at home
there were four vessels in northern waters
and eight in southern ports.
1t is well known that when the civil war
opened many Of the officers in 1t who had
received their education at West Point
chose to leave the flag under which they
had been educated. The same was true of
the navy. About 800 who had been educat-
ed in the Naval Academy went with the Sc
ceding states, but unlike the officers and

MONDAY, July IA, 1862.
AN IMPORTANT CONSULTATION.
On Saturday last. at the request Of the
President. the senators and representatives
OF the border slave-holding states met him
to hear read a paper Of great public i'm
portance he had taken occasion to prepare
1t Is understood to have amounted to an
appeal to them to take open an avowed
position in favor Of the prompt initiation by
their respective states Of the policy Of pros
pective gradual emancipation and colonial
ton with pecuniary aid from the general
government. We have reason to believe
that in enforcing on their minds the pro-
priety OF such action on their part, the
President dwelt with great, and just. ear
nestness, on the influence 1t could not fail
to exert in REFRESHING the spread OF aboli-
ton ultraism at the north. that has un-
deniably assumed fearful proportions
through the prolongation of the rebellion.
The reading of the paper, which Is sud to
have been replete with the kindest Kenti-
ments. was listened to with great attention
by all, and with reciprocal cordially on
the part Of most present. Subsequently the
gentlemen thus addressed assembled for
consultation on the subject, and appclnied
a committee OF seven to frame Q reply to
the Presidents address, to be submitted to
them for amendment and adoption q an
adjourned meeting. We hear that among
