Tennessee Baptist," is now on a visit to our army on the Potomac to ascertain the number of soldiers who are without Bibles or Testaments. This information is sought for the purpose of supplying those destitute of the Scriptures with them free of cost. Mr. G. has distinguished himself by his zeal in this enterprise. It was through his intrepidity, as well as devotion, that the means of supplying the army with the Bible were secured. He first essayed in Louisville to obtain permission of Lincoln's watch dogs to import Bibles; but they pronounced them contraband of war, and declined to give the permission sought. Mr. G. determined to risk the blockade, went northwardly, purchased the stereotype plates of a pocket edition and got them through safely to Nashville in spite of the vigilance of spies and officials. The work was put to press, and some weeks since the first bound copy of the Bible ever printed at the South appeared in the capital of Tennessee. Mr. G. is certainly entitle

Further from Europe. more English opinions. Montreal, Sept. 11. --The steamship North Briton has arrived. Her news generally has been anticipated. Lord Palmerston has been installed as Warden of the Cinque Ports. In his speech he incidentally alluded to the battles of Bull Run and Manassas Plains, as an evidence of the helplessness and inefficiency of brave but undisciplined troops against an organized enemy. The London Times concludes a leading editorial on the American question, by stating that the subjugation of the Confederate States by the United States is a hopeless undertaking. Lord John Russell's latest letter says that the issue is narrowing down to the question of slavery and abolitionism, and thinks that President Lincoln will soon declare all slaves within the United States to be free. Fifteen thousand bales of cotton have been purchased by leading houses here for shipment to the United States.

l obtain a small amount, but the blockaded States will be the principal consumers. Texas can get no Louisiana sugar, except those portions that get their supplies through the Red River navigation. But she will consume her own crop, which, fortunately for her, is made in that part of the State whose communication with New Orleans is cut off by the blockade. Fortunately for the sugar planter, by means of railroads and navigable streams the sugar crop can be conveniently sent to all portions of the Confederated States; and by blockading these States, Lincoln benefits the sugar planter by compelling citizens to use Louisiana sugar alone; and when by habit they acquire a taste for this kind of sugar, like the Western people, they will continue to use it in after years. So, if the sugar planter loses the West as a customer, he will gain the South, at a period, too, when the West will begin to wane in her prosperity, while the South bids fair to be a thrifty and valuable customer.

Lincoln's Generals Quarreling. --The Cairo correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial writes, under date of the 3d: A difficulty has sprung up between General Grant and General Prentiss, which is much to be regretted. The circumstances, I believe, are these; General Prentiss was ordered from here to take command of the expedition. At that time he had not received from Washington his appointment for the war, but held over on his three months appointment, General Grant, before Colonel, received his appointment first, and was ordered to take command. He consequently outranked General Prentiss, and ordered him to the command at Caps Girardeau, General Prentiss refused to obey, and was placed under arrest by order of General Grant, and sent to Cape Girardeau, where he now is. It is said that General Prentiss has sent in his resignation.

The Virginia officers in the Lincoln army. We copied into the Dispatch yesterday, from the Enquirer, a list of Virginians now in the army of Abraham Lincoln. The Enquirer, of yesterday, corrects its own statement as follows: We published in yesterday's Enquirer what purported to be a list of Virginia officers in LincolLincoln's army. The list was furnished us by a tried friend to the Confederate cause, and one whose usual accuracy of information was such, we thought, as to justify us in publishing it without question or investigation. It turns out, however, that our informant was in some instances mistaken, several of the officers whose names appeary. The same is probably true of others on the list as published yesterday. We will endeavor in a day or so to furnish a correct list of the Virginia officers in Lincoln's army. Major F. N. Page, reported as Federal Adjutant-General in the list published, has been dead, we understand, for several months. We much regret the e

f arms and munitions to some of our discontented citizens. I have no doubt that Kentucky assumed the position of neutrality in good faith, nor do I doubt the determination of your Excellency to maintain it fairly and honorably, but would respectfully ask the concurrence of all departments of your State Government in the removal of these irritating and harassing causes of controversy, which constantly endanger the peaceful relations of our States and people. The correspondence with Lincoln we have published heretofore. It will be remembered that he said he "acted upon the urgent solicitation of many Kentuckians, and in accordance with what" he "believed to be the wish of a majority" of the Kentucky people, and that he does "not believe it is the popular wish of Kentucky that the force should be removed." He therefore declined to comply with Gov. Magoffin's request. Occupation of Western Kentucky. The Nashville American gives a more lucid statement of the condition of

tion, therefore, is a proclamation of freedom to every slave in Missouri. It were vain to inquire what right, under the Constitution of the old United States, any general of division can have to abolish an institution solemnly recognized by it. Lincoln and his myrmidons have utterly destroyed that Constitution. There is not a right guaranteed by it, which they have left uninfringed. There is not a vestige left of the liberty which it was supposed to have recognized and perpetuated. Martialslaves, and that they mean to excite them to a general revolt if they can.--The project is as hopeless as it is wicked. Every intelligent slave knows well enough that it cannot be carried into execution by a force ten times as large as any that Lincolncan command. He knows that revolt would be destruction to the African race. But the Abolitionists of the North--that is, all Yankeedom — are profoundly ignorant of the condition of affairs in the South, and imagine they have but to call on the

the Government are strongly in favor of it.-- The Emperor himself said to a well known American gentleman a few weeks ago: "I regret to see civil war waged in the United States, especially as a policy of conciliation would have averted it, had Mr. Lincoln resorted to it; but it is the interest of France the Union should be dissolved, and I cannot deplore that." A pamphlet has been published here; its author, I suspect, is Mons. Esparbie, one of the editors of La Patric, which is a semi- officiaontade make on Europe, when we read in the same telegram that 4,000 Federal troops attacked 1,200 Confederate men and fell back before the latter? Was it to fight such battles, announced so long beforehand, the Senate felt it their duty to augment Mr. Lincoln's camp and chest?" There are a great many pamphlets constantly appearing here on the American question, as it is called. All of them (silly Monde Gasparin's excepted) favor our side and advocate a recognition of our independence.

torial article devoted to contrasting the characters of the two rival Presidents. After declaring it quite evident that Lincoln"has not sufficient mental calibre for the discharge of the duties he has undertaken, the writer speaks of the Southern P. Davisis a soldier, a graduate of West Point, a hero of the Mexican war, and a statement of a military turn of mind. Mr. Lincoln was a splitter of rails, a distiller of whiskey, a story teller and a joke maker. He after wards became a stump oratots North and South;) but declares that the South is ready to meet any hardship rather than to abandon its principles. Mr. Lincolnmust look this state of things in the face. It cannot be turned off with a joke; and when next he opens his mouth we trust he will not put his foot in it. If Mr. Lincoln aspires to be the second Washington of this great Confederacy, let him come out emphatically in his inaugural in favor of the Crittenden resolutions as amendments to the Constitution; let him call
