sion was formed in line along the ridge opposite the town and Cemetery Hill, the left resting on the Fairfield road.--And thus ended the first day's fight at Gettysburg — the most successful to the Southern cause, by far, of the three day's carnival of blood, which will ever make memorable the time, the place, and the actors. Much blood had been shed with the going down of this day's sun, but more was yet to be spilled before the butchery was complete or the slaughter was ended. On the second day's engagement, I will speak in my next. It will be observed that thus far the "war horse" of this army, Longstreet, had not been engaged. The second day's engagement will introduce him upon the stage, and truly may he say of himself, when speaking of these mighty scenes of blood, "Quorum magna pare fat." Before closing, let me say that the night of the first of July was no idle one in the enemy's camp. On the contrary, they worked and when daylight came, verily the fruits of their l

tempt to impose upon our good will. We can afford to disregard the absence of courtesy, gratitude we do not expect, and we can make large allowance for emotional, ebullitions. There is, however, a language which no country can permit to be used in addressing its Government; and if we are averse from war, it must not be inferred that we are prepared to accept peace on any terms that are inconsistent with our honor. Important debate in Parliament. In the British Parliament, on the 4th inst., Lord Derby attacked the Queen's speech on the ground of its omission to make any reference to the American war and other subjects. In relation to our affairs, Lord Derby said: It appears, not withstanding the concessions which the noble Earl has made to the Federal States of America in carrying out what he calls neutrality, but what I am afraid I must call one-sided neutrality, he has received from these States not thanks, because I believe that papers which have been laid before t

y of this Department fell back from Brandon in perfect order — slowly and successfully, The enemy moved his bodies of infantry, artillery, and cavalry, with caution and prudence, Lee hung upon his flanks and compelled him to move in compact column, giving him no time to forage or to depredate upon the country. in the meantime Gen. Polk, with all his acknowledged energy, was moving all his stores from points of the different railroads likely to fall into the enemy's hands. On Sunday, the 14th, Lieut. General Polk evacuated Meridian, with his little army, heavily pressed by an enemy thirty-five thousand strong. Before the evacuation, however, every article belonging to the different departments of the Government had been moved — The rolling stock of four important railroads had been saved — not a car was left, and scarcely a wheel left. The locomotives and cars be longing to the Mobile and Ohio road were safely housed in Mobile. Those of the other roads were brought to the Tombi<

A letter in the Boston Herald, from off Charleston, the 18th ult., gives an account of the blowing up of the corvette by a Confederates torpedo steamer. The event took places about o'clock on one of the coldest nights of the winter. The letter says: A long object, just on the edge of the water, was discovered astern of the ship. In an the cable was slipped, the alarm sounded, and all hands beat to quarters, but before the ship had made any head way the torpedo exploded under has starboard quarter, making a most frightful report.

s letter, asks; "Is it not a strange, illustration of the condition of things that the question of who shall be allowed to preach in a church in St. Louis shall be decided by the President of the United States!" Now, all this sounds very strangely, and, wish, a little as if you gentlemen, making the application, do not understand the case alike, one affirming that his Doctor is enjoying all the rights of a civilian, and another pointing out to me what will secure the release! On the 2d of January last I wrote to Gen. Curtis in relation to Mr. Disk's order upon Dr. McPhesters, and, as I suppose, the Doctor is enjoying all the rights of a civilian, I only quote that part of my letter which relates to the church. It is as follows: "But I must add that the United Stated Government must not, as by this order, undertake to run the churches. When an individual, in a church or out of it, becomes dangerous to the public interest, he must be checked, but the churches, as such, must take

American affair's in Europe. British opinion of Mr. Adam's retention of Seward's Demand. [From the London Post (Governm't organ) Feb. 11] It appears that Mr. Seward's dispatch, which Lord Derby described as "peremptory, " and Sir Hugh Cairns as "peculiar," has never been delivered to Earl Russell, to whom it was addressed. In the exercise of a discretion which is also somewhat peculiar, Mr. Adams, it would seem, abstained from reading this document to the Foreign Secretary, and leaving with him a copy, as he was directed to do. The dispatch has been laid upon the table of Congress, but as it has not been communicated to Her Majesty's Government it could not be included in the papers laid before Parliament. Some curious member of the Federal Legislature may be able to elicit further information, but the Government of this country have, as we understand Earl Russell and Mr. Layard, no official knowledge of the existence of such a dispatch. There is a little mystery about the

The Mississippi campaign. the operations of the enemy--condition of our armies — energy of the commanding General--our success--Gen.Polk's recent arrival. Etc. A correspondent of the Montgomery Advertiser, writing from Demopolis, Ala, February 28th, furnishes the following interesting review of matters in Gen Polk's Department, The campaign through which the army of this Deportment has just passed has been fruitful of many incident, and profitable in demonstrating the ability of the South to maintain its independence. The Federal newspapers have for more than six weeks been filled with the plans of the great South western campaign, Sherman was to invade Mississippi with three columns. --One--the larger — to leave Vicksburg; another Western Tennessee, down the Mobile and Ohio railroad; and the third was to land at Pascagoula There three columns were to unite at some point, capture Mobile, then Montgomery, and occupy all of Mississippi, and that portion of the Sta

When we come again we shall lift the curtain, and so let the reader be prepared along with us to pass in review the events of the second day's fight. X.

eral Government will take the law into their own hands; that the cruisers will follow these vessels into British ports, and will in British waters maintain their own interests. My Lords, I hope the noble Earl will be able to show that he has answered that dispatch in a manner which will put an end to such monstrous demands for the future.--[Hear, hear.] But, if I am not mistaken, the last dispatch from Washington was written about August, and was received here toward the latter end of August, and early in September the noble Earl took the strong step of seizing the so-called Confederate rams in the Mersey upon that very suspicion as to which, a year before, the Attorney General informed Parliament that the Government would not be warranted in interfering. [Hear, hear.] Well, then, my Lords, if you have not satisfied the Federals, neither have you satisfied the Confederate States.--[Hear.] You have not satisfied the Poles, and you have offended Russia.
