It might be said that this was a war so suicidal, so foolish, so wicked, that we must simply consider how to put a stop to it. But this was not the opinion of the vast majority of the twenty millions of the North, and it would not be our opinion ii we were in the same position. The cour age and endurance of the South were be yond all praise, but let us threaten them with foreign interfereupe, and the result would be the same. On the other hand, if we let them alone it was possible the parties might them selves find out that they had undertaken a task too hard for them. (Hear, hear.) President Lincoln had called for three hundred thousand more troops. He could not help thinking there was a little more difficulty in getting these thru* hundred thousand than there was before. (Hear, hear-) The sick and wounded men going home were not good recruiting sergeants ; but if we wished to find President Lincoln 1 his three hundred thousand men, we l ad j only to send out by the next mail the j statement that England, in concert with House will leave the future in the hands ofthe Government, content, as I believe the conntrv is. with the past. I do not ask this as a matter of confidence in the Government of tlie day, because I think eyp upon the horrors which this frantic people are now enduring. It would cost us, comparatively, a mere nothing. There ,is honey enough in this English hive to keep 11s all fat for some years to come, and, upon a profit and loss estimate, it would cost us less to call India into existence as a cotton producing country, and to pay for waiting, than it would to garrison Canada, and destroy the American fleet. We shall not do this. “So far from any such policy as this be ing debated among us, the feeling is uni versal that if by mediation we can do any good to both parties, we ought, at any risk of possible insult,,to do it. Failing this, there is a feeling, which is now becoming very general, that if we cannot stop the ef- th.it whatever party be in office a question | fusion of blood by mediation, we ought to of such delicacy and immense importance ! irivq our whole moral weight- to our own should be left in the hands ofthe Execu- English kith and kin. who have so gallant tive to deal with.

This is, as we believe, the general feeling of this country: not a calculating or selfish policy but a generous instinct to stay this waste South American Republics was very dif ferent to this.

Army Coirerpondence to the 5’av. Republican. Richmond, Aug. 4th, 1802. Having sent you this morning a tele graphic synopsis of such items of news as have been received, I turn aside from the current events to gather up some leading acts connected with the late battles be- lore Richmond. The question has been frequently as ked,whether Jackson’s brilliant demonstra tion in the Valley of the Shenandoah formed any part of the masterly strategy which resulted in the defeat of Me 1 lel- larfs aimv, and whetherthe country is in debted to Geneial Lee or General John son for the admirable combinations and Confederates to inscribed upon their ban- j ners ore <>f the most glorious victories of modern times.—The public will be glad to know what is tire, truth in regard fo these matters, and though I cannot speak with ■ bsolute authority, I have been led to be lieve from all the information I can collect, that the following statement will be found to be substantially correct : General Jackson, with his command, was ordered to the Valley of the Shenan doah last fall, and after it was pretty well ascertained that McClellan would not come out to fight uj at Centerville. The ene my had show n a disposition to gain a foot hold on the south side of the upper Poto mac at Leesburg, and tbe object of Jack- son’smovement was to checkmate any ef fort that might bemade to reach our flank by way of the Valley. He remained in the Valley through the winteiand spring, and uutil after tlA-abandonmeat of Manas sas and Yorktown) Upon his arrival at the Peninsula Mc Clellan found the Confederates in greatei strength than lie previously-supposed, and be immediately called upon the Wat Department for reinforcements. Accord ing to Mr. Lincoln, he brought with him about 130,000 troops, and subsequntly received reinforcements sufficient to swell his numbers to 158,00^ men; and yet lie was awaiting further a\d at the time we forced him to battle - The sanguinary affaiffat Vv’illiamsburg, on our retreat from Y’otktown, and the bloody battle at the Sevit Pines, rudely struck the scales from thteyes ofthe Fed eral commander, and disclosed to him the melancholy fact that that :is efforts to cap ture Richmond were bound V> end in his dis aster, unless he were very largely rein forced. Hence his continued calls up on the War Department tt>r additional men. < Seeing the plight he was it. Gen. Joint- son determined to offer him battle, not withstanding his own numbctS were infe rior to those of his opponent.* The Fed- eralscrossed the Cliickahominy, not per pendicularly, but at an acute angle, some what like the two lines of tbe 1 letter X. Gen. Johnson’s plan of battle Ms, if I am correctly informed, to force tlife enemy s centre where hi.- lines crossed tbd Chicka- hominv, to isolate the forces on this side, and to defeat them, before they Cmld be reinforced. Har ing u< ne ibis, h^ won < then proceed to attack tire troops^till re maining on tbe north side, utilesss, m the meantime, they should abandon tli^r po sition and fall back upon tbe \ ork ,river. Unfortunately, Gen. Johnston was Voun ded in tven out mm j .j , , ,» 1 De traced the cause ot the Secession movement which he attributed to severe and unjust taxation, owing to the selfish policy of the North, and contended that the first Southern States which ’seceded sent Commissioners to negotiate a peace able separation, but that the Lincoln Gov ernment put them off, and was preparing a secret expedition which, as a matter of self-defence, compelled the seizure of Fort Sumter. He then reviewed the progress of tbe war, which confirm every one in flic opinion that the restoration of the Union was impossible. In conclusion, he drew a fearful picture of the horrors ofthe war, and urged that tor the sake of human- | ity they should be arrested, and that, both politically and commercially, a separation of the Union would be for the benefit of this country. Mr. Lindsay Rebuked. Mr. Taylor considered tbe course taken by the honorable member for Sunderland to be ill judged, inopportune, and calcu lated fo increase the feelings of bitterness and irritation which alieady prevailed in j the Northern States towards Great Bri tain. He complained that the sympathy of the English public had been enlisted by tbe press in favor of the Confederate States, altogether ignoiingthecati.se of sla very, which tainted those States and their I institutions. The North, it was not to be ! denied, bad recently met with considera- 1 bit- reverses, but, in his opinion, it wasim- possible, and contrary to all experience of i the past, that twenty millions of people i the neighborhood of the enemy.

If baulked of their prey, the Federal States would almost certainly threaten to do this. Wo confess that we have no very great hope from mere medi ation, and we should be sorry to see this country go into any such enterprise, unless in the company of the great Enropean powers. An insulting answer given to Europe thus combined might be fitly pass ed over with disdain; but, if we are Quix- Federalsor Confederates had possession of Richmond. It was but a few days ago that tbe whole course of the Mississippi was believed to be in the hands of the Fed eral s. I know that New Orleans was, and that Charleston possibly might be captured ; and 1 contend that whatever opinion we may have of the recent battles, and ofthe America, where would he the justification of our going to war with her ( Were we to go to war with any country because we happen to be in disaster on account of j what was occurring in that cnuntiy ? Not only would such a war be wicked and un just, but foolish to tiie greatest possible degree. It was said that our population was starving, and he believed that the cot ton famine at this moment was likely to get worse. But-we could keep the working popula tion of Lancashire in luxury for less than the price it would cost 11s to interfere as the noble Lord opposite suggested. We bad cotton a famine now, but if we did that we should stand in danger of a corn famine. Even if it we were to enter into such a war and to break all the rules of international law, on the ground of mere imerest, because we could get a certain commodity, then we ought to take our material interest in all its bearings, and see whether we should not lose more than we should gain by it.

On the day 'after the debate the Times remarked that “every man can see that tbe knowledgemenf of the South would estab- , • , • l 1 .. ... . , , . time draws nigti when our Government llah a ddffirent position between it and tins .“ „ BPM1 AW11 while the trains were sent back for others. In this way the men were rested , . , . , . , , j and the time occupied in the march c<m- upab plan of battle which entible, the j siderabl rihninished. After arrivin ’ rested his men two days, aud then com menced the great battle. The plan of the battle has been fre- 1 quently explained, and need nut be re- : peated here. Suffice it to say, it was fault- | less; and but for the imperfect manner in j which a part of it was executed, the re- | suit would have been one of the greatest j and most decisive victories of which his tory furnishes any record. But two mis- j takes of any magnitude were made in the j whole seven da) s’ fight. The first was in j not waiting for Jackson to make the at- j tack in the rear—which would have ren dered the victory as bloodless as it was Precedent. Mr. Whiteside was willing to admit that the question on which the House was in vited to pass an opinion was one which must be treated with great delicacy, but that was no reason why the House of Com mons should not discuss it. He could not j country. It would do no such thing, uu- | less followed up by active interference: i although neutrality is perfectly comnati- i ble wi:Ii acknowledgement. The right honorable gentleman opposite : said that the concession of belligerent | rights was a step towards acknowledge- j nient. I cannot admit that. No one can j be insensible for a moment to the vast im- | portance to this country of a speedy ier- | urination of the war. We all know the pri vations and sufferings which a large por tion ofthe people now are undergoing in consequence of this unfortunate war; but, on the other hand, it has been well said by lire honorable member for Bradford, | that any attempt to put an end to the war I by active and violent interference would j only produce still greater privations.— I There is no instance in history.of a contest of such magnitude as that now going on between two nations of the same people, j blockade There is said to be nearly a million men in arms on one will be bound to express its own opinions and tbe opinions of the public on this ca lamitous struggle.” It adds: “We are but uttering the thoughts of nine Englishmen out of ten when we say tiiat should it appear that the army of McClellan has been totally defeated, so as to be totally incapable of resuming offen sive operations then the propriety of treat ing the Confederate as an independent people may be justly discussed by tbe British Cabinet.” The “Daily News” applauds tbe views ot tbe Prime Minister, which are in sub stance that tire time for mediation has not yet come and that mediation, to be free from danger must be asked for by those who will accept, it, atid removed from all taint or prejudice and partiality by those who offered it. The “Morning Star” says that nothing short of another Navarino would break deliver Richmond, and J ferial resource, whilst the latter was en- j go so far as fo say the South were wrong cumbered with a servile population of four millions. He implored the House to ab- I stain front giving its assent to the resolu tion which tire honorable member for Sun- | derland bad invited it to pass, j Lord A. Vane Tempest suppor Lindsay. Lord A. Yane Tempest supported tbe j motion of Mr. Lindsay. He considered i that the restoration of the Union was im- ! possible; but if it was it would confirm i slavery, which separation would amelior- or the North right, but he did not believe that slavery, and not conquest, was the cause of the war. The conflicting inter- | ests of the North and South rendered the j desire of the latter to secede extremely rfs Mr I profitable ; but that was not the question. The South had seceded for reasons which were perfectly justifiable. It bad estab lished and maintained a de facto govern ment, and it had been the practice of this Government to recognize de facto gov ernments. In less than twelve months a Whiggov- , - . . therefore we have unabated confidence in side and the other, and their j fhe preser vation of that strict neutrality f 1 n n onrl BYftcnflrntinn tc an. .... . 1 J : which is require ! alike by English honor ■ and international justice. I During the debate on the Colonial Mili tary Expenditure, in the house of Lords, 1 the Canadians were reproached for negli gence in providing a strong military- force. The English journals all ask the Orleans Princes for an explanation of tbe course mutual irritation and exasperation is ad mitted by all; and is this a moment at which a successful offer of mediation is likely to be made to either party ?

The army of Richmond is already his torical. It stands before the nations of the earth, conspicuous alike for the genius of its leaders and the valor of its men. In tire forefront loom up the historic forms of Johnston, Lee and Jackson. But if these forms occupy the front of the picture, in the back ground appears a swelling host of heroes, capable not only of winning a great battle against great odds, but of ac hieving a nation’s independence. The battle of Richmond has establish- i al) d recognize ed two important facts : The first is, that I America, volunteers may be relied upon to storm the most formidable battery—a fact which West Point has been slow to recognize. The second, that artillery is of but little right of either side, for if at any time we shall be able to offer onr good offices, it can only be as impartial parties committed offer of mediation by England would meet with respectful attention. perish before they submitted to. After all our neutrality, the Northern States hated us more bitterly than ever, and it was our duty and interest, on the grounds of humanity, to cultivate the alli ance of the Soutli.

A letter from near Sattillo, Miss., to the editor of the Augusta Constitutionalist, gives the following intelligence from that section: While Jackson's brigade was on picket at Biackiautl the Yankees who had fol lowed us, attacked the pickets under Col.

A portion of it is at Huntsville under Buell, a portion at Corinth, and a still larger por- i tion is reported to have passed through Nashville en route to Washington, to rein force McClellan. It is reported that Buell is withdrawing his forces from Chatta nooga and Huntsville, fearing a movement in his rear by General Bragg, who now commands the Army of the West, in the absence of General Beauregard, on account of feeble health. The health of the army has improved considerably, since leaving Corinth. Last Saturday the army of the Mississippi was reviewed by Generals Bragg, Poik and Hardee.
