Thus far, in every attempt to force our right the enemy baa been met and- checked.

All the relief committee* here have bean ordered up, and the indication* are favorable for a general engagement. pnght Cscgrcsa ts Adjourn? How that all serious apprehensions for the fall of Richmond has subsided, says the Richmond Enquirer of th J 31st, is is hoped that Congress will reconsider it* res olution to adjourn on the 2-Ut Inst., and diligently attend to those important du tim that.devolve upon it. This, is no li-ao for any public servant to neglect the traits confided to him. There are important matters of legislation that imperatively demand the attention of Congress. If it should become necessary for the Congress to fly. the city, ample opportunity will be afforded; for no one expects the Confeder ate Congress to imitate those stupid old U Vho, .sitting in silenoe, permitted the tau>srisns to pluck them by the beard. No, it'. Hie evil hour should ever come, fly by all means, for a worse barbarian than Goth, or Visigoth, or Hun, now threatens Richmond. But the day is for off that shall see tbe Yankees con querors In Richmond. We hope, therefore, that the resolution to adjourn on the 31st instant witl-be reeioded. * The tax law requires legislation. It has Gestures that are neoeasary to itaeffirien cy, but which greatly injure the country, and are real Impediments not only to trade and business, but also to the collec tion of the taxes. The double tax on stocks calls for relief, and the clause re lating to the tax-in-kind requires expla nation and interpretation. There are bills for military organ uUion that should be passed. The Reserve Forces cannot be efficiently organised without further legist The notion ao promptly taken by the Congress upon the matter of their own •alary and mileage, will be cheerfully ac quiesced in if the members exhibit a de termination to work diligently, but if the CongreM remains in Richmond just long enough to double the pay of its members, and then take to flight upon iU double mflasge, it will be difficult to reconcile the public to such dereliction of duty. Captain Cowan. We had the pleasure of meeting in our sanctum yesterday, Capt- F. M. Cowan, of the 1st Georgia State Regiment. From him we learn that we did him and hit Company injustice in an article in this paper a few days since, and we take pleasure in setting him right. It appears that Capt. Cowan’s Company -was on the front, and compelled to foil back when pressed by superior numbers. A few of bis man did roach Centreville. bat tbe major part of the company remained at the post of duty till ordered back by the proper officer. f3T" Where is the Rome mail?

We are no believers in the theory of the decadence of nations and their progressive deterioration until they meet the fate of conquest and become merged in a more vigorous race and people. The Spanish nation is now giving the denial to this hy pothesis. IU decline from the palmy state to which it bad been brought by tbe vriee 1 counsels of an Ximenea and tbe arms of Charles the Fifth, had been so evident, that it was thought that nothing less than a miracle could restore her to her pristine condition. Yet she has within the last half century attained a new lease of power and prosperity. The social changes throughout Europe which had their root in the French Revolution of 1789, may have me agency in this revival of the fortunes of Spain. Notwithstanding the loss of her colonies in the West, and the confusion into which her finances had fallen, she now ranks among at least the Powers of the second class in Europe. The curious speculator might discern the gns of British deterioration in the lose of Continental influence within a few years. It may be that in the silent revolution of empires, commercial States are. more than others, under the influence of that law of growth, maturity and decay that appears to have visited all the States of this class in ancient times and the middle ages. Carthage, when brought into collision with Rome, perished from the superiority of the military over the commercial power. The Republics of the middle agea—Venice, Genoe, Pisa—underwent the same fate. Holland does not exist in the same palmy state as when she defied the power of Fog- All these Slates presented examples of pre-eminence in arts, arms and science, and having reached a certain elevation, began a downward course of degeneracy. There may be something in the commer cial apirit that leada by an irreaiatible pro* greasion to ibis result. How there may be no external indications of decline in tbe fortunes of England, except as disclosed in her loss of Continental influence, still there may be hidden causes of Internal decay at work while there are no indica tions of external danger. It can admit of no denial that States like Great Britain, engrossed by the acquisition of riches—applying their science and in. ventive talent to gain supremacy in the arts of industry—extending their domin ion qm* the most distant lands to open up nernuarketa for their products—may be losing in the higher moral qualities what they are gaining in material benefits, and in loftiness of apirit what cannot be found in the lower instincts of commerce. The tendency of trade is toward national deterioration. The adverse influence is found in the cultivation of the military virtues. There seems to be no question but what the commercial has predominated over the military spirit in England for the last fifty years. The Crimean war was a faint reflection of the former martial ardor of the British nation, but her rival across the Channel earned the larger share of the glory reaped in that conflict. England haa advanced since the peace of 1813, in the arts of peace prodigiously. Her accumu lation of wealth has been beyond that of any previous period of her history. The gold discoveries on the Pacific shore have multiplied her store of riches. If gold has not been the corraptor of her morals, it has made avarioe, more than national pride, the guiding principle of her conduct. Her anxiety to avoid the pecuniary burdens of war is plainly evident. What is this but an evidence of national decline ? —of the ascendancy of the- commercial over the military spirit—of the passion for riches, over the impulses of national pride. corrssEBiTS mtta cosoasii.
