s? The manner of its introduction makes the compliment all the more striking. The idea is strengthened by the tenor of several editorials of leading journals of Paris and London; the former, (very probably with Government assent,) urging intervention, and the latter favoring it earnestly, but advising, for prudential considerations, that France lead in the matter. The leading one of these prudential considerations being the alleged greater popularity of the Emperor and France with the United States than Her Majesty's Government. The Times suggests that the Czar of Russia united with the Emperor in the offer of mediation. The Times shows that England will back the Emperor in whatever he may do. It says: "All that we can now say has already been said by our politicians and by the press. The speeches of two or three Cabinet Ministers, and the too well known opinions of almost every man of note in either House, are equivalent to anything that the French Emperor can disclose to the A

Fight between Maryland and Massachusetts Yankees. We have been furnished with an extract of a letter written in Beaufort county, N. C. near Newbern, and dated June 29, 1862, which contains a piece of information which we deem highly important. We give below the extract as furnished us, and think its statements may be relied upon: "I have just heard from Barrington's. A fight occurred in Newbern, in which Massachusetts and Maryland soldiers became involved. A regiment of each became engaged; 300 of the New England men were said to have been killed and 150 of the Marylanders. The disturbance arose about the negroes within the lines there. The Massachusetts men proposed to send a lot of them to Cabe for sale. It was opposed by the Marylanders. Since hearing the above, Mr, F. P. Letham confirms the report."

rg Railway, and of the army being now within five miles of the Southern capital. The Confederates are still said to out number their assailants, and the besiegers talk of going into trenches and waiting for the arrival of batteries of Parrott guns. But, if Richmond, after all, is to be attacked from the north, why, it may be asked, did McClellan go out of his way to approach it by way of Yorktown? It is as if a native of Bath or Bristol, by way of going to London, should journey by sea to Dover, and thence work his way along the line of the South eastern Railway. It may be said that the southern side of Richmond was unguarded, Johnston and Lee being then to the north of it. These Generals were too quick for the assailant. By the time he had taken Yorktown he found them posted between him and Richmond. It may be argued, also, that by this line of strategy the Confederates have been cut off from their basis of operations at Yorktown and Norfolk. But it was not the army, it w

h for our arms, comes from a source usually careful and reliable; and, as it speaks of events which have been going on in front of Richmond for the last four days, it would seem as though Gen. McClellan had followed up his victory near the Seven Pines on Wednesday last, and finally gained in the struggle of which that was the initial movement. But speculation is useless until we have something definite upon which to base it, be it good or bad. Resignation of Gen. Fremont.[from the Hartford (Conn.) times, June 28.] All true friends of the country will rejoice at the recent act of the President in placing Gen. Pope, a true soldier of proved military skill and efficiency, over General Fremont, the mere political Abolition aspirant for the Presidency; and they will still further rejoice, at the resignation of the office seeker, whose place is not the field of battle, at the head of an army. Gen. Pope is a man of military knowledge and genius. He has shown his energy and talent

Tribulations of the Yankee Press. --The Baltimore News Sheet, noticing the arrest of Charles C. Fulton, Agent of the Associated Press and editor of the Baltimore American, says: Of the condition of affairs in regard to the army of the Potomac, even if it were known to us, it would be manifestly impolitic to speak. President Lincoln has admonished us, in his little way-side speech at Jersey City, that --Secretary Stanton holds a tight rein over the Press," and we have had, still more recently, a local illustration of the same important fact in the arrest and imprisonment of the editor and proprietor of the Baltimore American, who has been wounded in the house of his friends for having "done that which he ought to have done." in what particular this, the humblest servant of the Government, hag offended, we are not informed; but we are quite sure that the error which led to his introduction to the Provost Marshal is not to be found in the telegram to the New York Press annou

h the agency of the obedient field instrument which stood by our side in the bottom of the car. Occasionally a masked rebel battery would open on our brave fellows. In such cases the occupants of the balloon would inform our artillerists of its position, and the next shot or two would, in every case, silence the masked and annoying customer. For hours, and until quite dark, we remained in the air, the telegraph keeping up constant communication with some point, From the balloon to Fortress Monroe, a distance of over 100 miles, this wire worked beautifully. A number of messages were sent and received between these two points, and had it not been for the tremendous rush. of business on the wire, I should have telegraphed you directly from the balloon white the battle was raging. Sunday morning, at daybreak, we again ascended. Early in the morning the battle was renewed, and with more fierceness than the day before. Incessant firing of musketry and artillery was kept up until

fairs in front of Richmond, it will be imparted to the public, whether good or bad. This dispatch is not intended for publication, but for the information of the press. The Baltimore News Sheet says that Charles C. Fulton was on Monday sent to Fort McHenry for publishing "certain unauthorized news" regarding the movements of Gen. McClellan. We take the following extracts from the Northern papers: The situation before Richmond.[Correspondence of the New York Tribune.] Fortress Monroe, June 27.--They who have known the reasons for delay on the Chickahominy, and have experienced no disappointment that the impending battle has not been fought, begin to turn in expectancy towards the quarter that has so long engaged the attention of the world. The period of delay is drawing to a close. The volcanic state of things along the whole line denotes that the eruption is near at band. The present danger, or probability, is that a general engagement will be brought on, not by

accounts that McClellan's army, after the battle of Tuesday, continued to make a rapid retreat, but with what success remains yet to be developed. A report came from Petersburg last evening that the Federals were landing on the South side of James river, below City Point, with the supposed intention of making a diversion in the direction of Prince George county. Whether this report be authentic or otherwise, the enemy will make no movement that is not closely watched by our Generals, and shoively will be enabled to escape by means of their gunboats. On the other hand videt from Bermuds Hundreds, and parties from Prince George, who reached Petersburg yesterday afternoon, report that the enemy's transports were passing up and down James river all day yesterday. We hear, too, that these boats invariably display the yellows flag, thereby indicating a vast number of wounded, or else resorting to a bit of deception eminently characteristic of the Yankees. They have on repeated occasi

Absconded Slave--$25 reward. --Left my place on James river, upper end of Henrico county, on Sunday last, June 29, 1862 without any cause, my Servant Man, Cornelius, commonly called Buck. He is about 25 years of age, rather small, well made, black, good, teeth, likely, and no marks; about 5 feet 7 inches high. He is no doubt lurking about Richmond or endeavoring to get employment as servant in some of the camps, having many acquaintances among the servants in Richmond, but in no other place. For his safe delivery to Blair & Chamberlayne, or placed in jail so they get him, they will pay the above reward. jy 4--6t John Wickham.

From the Southside. Petersburg, July 3. --A courier to Capt. Milli. gan, of the Signal Corps, has reached here from Bermuda Hundreds. A couple of free negroes were sent over to Shirley yesterday. They returned and report that the enemy and his wagons have left Shirley and gone towards Westover, on the north side of James river, below City Point. Heavy firing all yesterday afternoon, four miles below City Point. All the gunboats and transports have disappeared None were visible at City Point. [second Dispatch.] Petersburg, July 3. --Occasional firing has been heard to-day in rear of Westover, Charles City county. The train of wagons at Berkeley has greatly increased since yesterday. It extends for miles, and is distinctly seen from Prince George shore. Some estimate the number at over one thousand. Several fugitives from McClellan's army were arrested on this side of the river to day. Five have just been brought in and lodged in the Petersburg jail.
