Additional from Europeby the Bohemian. New York, Aug. 19. --The London Times editorially says that the Southerners obtained a complete victory over the Union (Lincoln army at the battle of Manassas Plains. The Federals have lost all their former military honors. All prominent and experienced Generals express the opinion that the battle a Manassas has closed the door to all compromises. A Paris letter states that the victory of the Southerners at Manassas has operated power fully in favor of the Secessionists in France. The Queen in her speech says that all he foreign relations are friendly, and she trust that there is no danger to be apprehended to the general peace of Europe. She has determined, in connection with other Powers, a strict neutrality in the war waging between the Northern and Southern States.
ur county, and we have no doubt he will easily succeed in getting up a company of seventy five or eighty young men, who will cheerfully follow their gallant leader even into the jaws of death. We have also in our midst another firm advocate of Southern-Rights in the person of Rev. Dr. Morrison, of the Episcopal Church, who has recently moved to this place from Kentucky on account of his strong Secession principles, not thinking himself altogether safe in that neutral State, with strong Lincoln proclivities. He was at one time Rector of St. John's Church in your city. Just before leaving Kentucky, he had a letter returned to him, which he had written to a friend in Virginia, with his name encircled with red ink, indicative of what rate a waited him should he continue in his course of conduct. Another refugee, Mr. Richard K. Oralle, the friend and biographer of John O. Calhoun, has just reached our county, with his family and servants, from Greenbrier, from which he has been
parated from the poisonous influences of Northern abolitionism, we hope and expect to do more than we have ever done for the temporal and spiritual elevation of the race over whom God, in His all-wise providence, has placed us. Imbecility of Lincoln's Cabinet. Thurlow Weed, of the Albany Evening Journal, lately published an editorial in which he gave the Cabinet a severe castigation for its want of vigor in the prosecution of the war. Sawney Bennett is delighted with the article, endors party nor the rest of the gay crowd had the least expectation of seeing any portion of the royal entertainment that was to take place in the great white Mansion before us; but, as it approached within thirty minutes of the dinner hour, (which Mrs. Lincoln had chanced to mention to me the night before,) I could not help wondering, to the friend sitting at my side, whether "A be," lounging there in his grey coat, with his knees up to his chin, would have time enough for his toilet. But the words
Squeamish scruples It is new asserted by a Northern journal that Lincoln is not disposed to have any "squeamish scruples" about hanging privateer. We don't see why Mr. Lincoln should give way to any weaknesses at this stage of his cancer. We never heard that he had "scruples" of any kind."squeamish" or other wise, except in regard to keeping himself out of danger. The cowardly manner in which be skulked into Washington, and has ever since surrounded himself with a body-guard, takinMr. Lincoln should give way to any weaknesses at this stage of his cancer. We never heard that he had "scruples" of any kind."squeamish" or other wise, except in regard to keeping himself out of danger. The cowardly manner in which be skulked into Washington, and has ever since surrounded himself with a body-guard, taking as much care to avoid a field of battle as Jeff. Davis does to savage in one, is in horrible contrast with the perfectly unscrupulous and fiendish spirit in which he devotes other men to death. We will not profane the name of Cesas by comparing this wretch to him even in his tyranny but, if such a glorious despot as the great. Roman had a Brutus, must not the United States have become more degenerate than Rome if no Brutus arises to thrust the dagger in this tyrant's heart?
be unfit. Blunders and destruction must necessarily follow every stop they take. We should as soon think of selecting a doctor to act as Judge Advocate, or appoint a lawyer Surgeon-General, as put a politician at the head of an army. Politicians are bad enough at the best.--They are the guests of the country in peaceful times, and the authors of all the political woes and nearly all the wars that afflict mankind. But when they seek to increase the public calamities by asking to be put in positions for which they are notoriously unfit, they ought to be handed over to the Provost Marshal.--Would any one think of putting one of them in command of a line-of-battle ship? And yet, they know just as little of managing "a squadron" in the field as a squadron at sea. It is murder in the first degree to send men to battle under such leadership. Long may Lincoln monopolize the manufacture of such warriors as Major-General Butler, Banks, Patterson, Cadwallader, and others of that ilk!
The Federal President on Southern ports of entry, &c. Washington, Aug. 19. --President Lincoln is about proclaiming certain Southern ports not ports of entry. Capt. Holly, Quartermaster of Young's bogus Kentucky cavalry, has been arrested for non-performance of duty. Fuel is very high and scarce.
