Baton Rouge. --A correspondent of the Mobile Tribune, writing from Grenada under date of August 12th, speaking of the losses sustained at Baton Rouge by each army, says: Our loss at Baton Rouge is now ascertained to be about 250, including one Brigadier, and three Colonels wounded. Col. Allen, of the 4th Louisiana, is reported to have been reduced to the necessity of having both of his legs amputated, and will now probable not recover. The enemy lost one General (Williams) and two Colonels, killed outright. They acknowledged, under a flag of truce received on the 10th inst., that their loss in men was about 1,000.--Your readers can thus judge for themselves what is the nature and extent of the victory that is claimed for our arms at Baton Rouge.

Mr. Kennan, of Ga., asked the gentleman from Virginia to amend his resolution so as to include Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, who was in command at the battle

After some discussion, the resolution was withdrawn for the time, when. Mr. Goode, of Va., presented a joint resolution, tendering the thanks of Congress and the country to Gen. Joseph E. Johnston and the officers and men under his command for their gallantry for the victory achieved by them over the enemy on the 31st of May and 1st of June, in the engagement of Seven Pines. This resolution passed to its engrossment, when. Mr. Foote, of Tenn., asked its reconsideration, with a view to allow him to offer an amendment.--He had understood that Gen. Johnston in his official report had excepted from any participation in the honors of that victory one of the general officers engaged in that battle. In the face of that report he was not prepared to vote thanks to that excepted officer. The House refused to r

A hatred more virulent than that of the Montagues and Capulets has been engendered between the two sections, and it seems each day to increase in unnaturalness and ferocity. The South cannot now yield with safety. If the North can with honor. Under this condition of affairs, we cannot look forward to a speedy change in Northern temper, or hope for a speedy peace. Affairs in Alexandria. Alexandria, Va., Aug. 16 --The Commissioner of the Revenue, in conjunction with one citizen from each ward, by order of Governor Pierpoint, the loyal Executive of the State, is now engaged in enrolling the citizens of this county, preparatory to the contemplated draft. There will be many, doubtless, anxious to evade that process, especially those of Secession proclivities. The children of Israel, of which we have a considerable portion, dislike the idea of shouldering arms to support the Government. But th

But let us come down to that period in modern history which affords the best illustration of on subject; we mean the wars of the French Revolution. The Republic successfully withstood the assault of combined Europe. How? By virtue of her numbers. She had, at one time, nearly a motion of men under arms. Under the Empire, the military force was always enormous. In 1805, when the campaign of Austerlitz took place, it was computed at 651,000 men. In the campaign of Jens (1806) it was somewhat larger. In the campaign of Friedland (1807) the military strength of the Empire approached 800,000 men, and in the campaign of Wagram (1809) it quite came up to that figure.--All these campaigns were eminently successful.--That of Russia（1812) was a failure, from causes not at all dependent on the strength of the invading army.
