ng completion. On one corner, the initials "W. W. C." are plainly visible. A great deal of wit has been expended in making words to these letters, "What Wealth Creates" being the most common interpretation. It is said that these translations have been brought to the ear of the wealthy banker, and annoy him not a little. More of these improvements will be noticed in another letter. Mr. Bocock, in view of the Union resolutions poured into the House, and the change in the Northern press, (Forney, for example, once so bitter, now begging like a dog to let the South have all it wants,) thinks there is some hope for the Union, but only by a reconstruction, after its dissolution, (in part at least,) into its original elements. He is of opinion that changes, very simple in character, can be made in the Constitution, by which it will be impossible for the North, no matter how powerful it may become, to oppress the South. This is about the best now hoped for by the calmest men. Zed.

ch reason to fear that when the investigation ordered yesterday by the House is had, the disgrace will fall mainly upon Virginia. Some time ago, I wrote that Forney was begging for conciliation for compromise.--Hear how he talks now: "I have for weeks past counselled peace. But the day for persuasion has passed and gon Does this encourage delay on the part of Virginia? Is she scared? Then, for the comfort of her timidity. I give the reply of the Philadelphia Pennsylvanian to Forney's threat of war. The editor says: "We desire to say in the most emphatic language to this epistolary 'dog of war. ' 'Occasional.' that we do not intend to ng a military despotism in the place of our present free government, there will be two armies raised here at one and the same time" "Occasional" is the name Forney signs to the letters he writes from Washington to his paper, the Philadelphia Press. I have also a sweet morsel for those patriotic gentlemen who are doing a

d, and calls were made for T. T. Cropper. at the invitation of the President, T. T. Cropper, Esq., took the stand, and addressed the meeting at length. He commenced by denouncing party lines in times like these, and declared that any man who could raise party above his country, was a traitor, and deserved a traitor's doom. He then reviewed briefly the aggressions of the abolition party, and denounced them in merited terms. He scorned their threats of "coercion," and after alluding to Forney, of Pennsylvania, and his army of 80,000 Black Republican cohorts, declared that there were patriots at the North to meet them on their own grounds in defence of the South. The speaker knew that there were patriots in New York and elsewhere, ready to join us in defence of our rights, and, for one, he rejoiced that there were true men there, who deserved our sympathy and should have our support. Mr. C. Paid an eloquent tribute to the memory of Henry Clay, and then referred to the compromise

The danger to the South. The greatest evil which the South has to apprehend in the future is the vast immigration from the United States and other foreign countries, especially the former, which will be poured upon our shores. When Forney, of the Philadelphia Press, declared that it would be true economy in the North to spend a hundred millions a year rather than permit the South to be independent, he did not over-estimate the annual commercial and manufacturing value of the South to the Northern States. Indeed, the immense expenditures and efforts making to compel us to remain in the Union, and minister to the wealth and power of the sordid, selfish and vulgar money lords of the Northers cities, demonstrate irresistibly that, without the South, the North is commercially involved, and her great cities in the midst of condacious aspirations are hopelessly paralyzed in trade and commerce. They themselves admit the fact; they no longer so much as attempt to conceal that the "poor

Gossip of the New York papers. New York, July 1. --The city gossip column in the Tribune of this morning states that it is impossible for the Federal forces to move forward until about one thousand wagons are obtained, and that no decided demonstration can be made earlier than the 15th of July. The Times indulges in gossip about the Speakership of the Federal Congress. It states that the exciting chances are in favor of the selection of Grow, in which event Forney goes overboard, as he is urging the election of Blair. The Herald says that the Lincoln Government does not regard the occupation of Harper's Ferry as of any consequence, as everything of material value there has been destroyed. The Journal of Commerce states that recent developments indicate that General Scott intends to make no forward movements into Virginia this summer. The correspondent of the Journal of Commerce states that it was generally believed in Washington City on Saturday, that the

er excited scene as on the occasion of the passage of the Kansas (Lecompton) Constitution. Even the lobbies outside the doors were occupied with anxious listeners. Ladies in number were present, and their gay dresses relieved, in a measure, the stern melancholy appearance which would have possessed the House, in the eye of one familiar with former associations of the House of Representatives. The gallery of the diplomatic corps was graciously given to the fair sex, while the friends of Col. Forney were enabled, through a pass from the Clerk, to fill the spacious apartment devoted to the press. The present Congress will not hesitate to endorse the unconstitutional acts of Mr. Lincoln, the Cabinet and his military officers.--They will pass appropriation bills quickly, and it will be no matter of astonishment should they agree to suspend (legally) the writ of Habeas Corpus, a right which Mr. Lincoln has already usurped, and for which he is liable to impeachment.

Federal Congress. Washington, July 18. --In the House to day a bill was passed remitting fines where ships are unable to get proper papers. A bill was passed authorizing the forwarding of soldiers' letters without additional charge. A bill to pay volunteers from the time they rendezvoused, was passed. In the Senate, Secretary Forney called the body to order, and announced that Vice President Hamlin would be absent the balance of the session. The bill authorizing the appointment of an Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and the bill for the better organization of the Marine Corps, were passed. The bill to modify the Tariff act met with unexpected opposition in the House to-day. In the House to-day the action in regard to Mr. May, member from Baltimore, in regard to his visit to Richmond, was laid on the table.

Advices received by the last European steamed exhibit favorable tones from the French press, which shows a growing sympathy with the Federal Government. England growls, and shows no sympathy for the war. A post-office has been established at Beaufort, to-day. General Butler is here, receiving instructions in regard to his Southern expedition. Cincinnati, Nov. 21.--The special Washington correspondent of the Commercial, dated yesterday, says, at a supper given to Prentiss by Forney, last night, Secretary Cameron reiterated his opinion that, in the last resort, the Federal Government ought to arm every man who desires to strike for human liberty. It is believed that assurances have been given through Mr. Adams, the American Minister at London, that free access shall be given to all Southern cotton ports to British vessels; New York, Nov. 21.--Late European advices state that the steamship James Adger is at Southampton, and will soon leave for the Mediterranean to

of siege — has been for months — and we hope to hear no more of rebel distresses and sufferings until the people of the loyal States can visit Washington from any direction without fear of capture. We are pleased to notice that the impatience of the people is finding utterance through the press. Those papers who have counselled delay and urged patience — who have been most prolific in excuses for the seeming slowness of the young Commander-in-chief — are now urging an advance. Even Mr. Forney is aroused by the emergency, and is panting for an onward movement.--The following paragraph from his paper expresses the opinion and wishes of thousands: "Nothing will do more to prevent the recognition of the rebellion than a series of bold and instantaneous forward movements of our armies here and elsewhere. At no period within the last five months would such demonstrations have been more decisive of great issues. If within the next three weeks the returning messenger of the En
