The "Rebel Rams" in England. The following is Earl Russell's reply to the memorial of the Emancipation Society relative to the steam rams in the Mersey: Foreign Office, Aug. 13. Gentlemen — I have received your letter calling attention to a subject of very grave and impressing importance, namely: the fitting out or equipping two powerful iron-plated steam rams, which I am informed are intended to commit hostilities against the Government and people of the United States. My attention has long been directed to these subjects. Both the Treasury and Home Departments have, at my request, made most anxious inquiries upon the subject of these steam rams. You are aware that by the foreign enlistment act a ship is liable to be detained, and the owners are subject to a penalty when the ship is armed or equipped for purposes of war, and the owners intend to use her against some State or community in friendship with her Majesty. It is necessary to prove both the

From Atlanta. Atlanta, August 12. --There is brisk skirmishing on the entire left. The batteries up Manette street and the East State road opened on the cite at one o'clock this morning, and have continued to fire up to the present, striking a number of houses on McDonough street. No casualties reported. The enemy are still massing on the left, but are making no efforts to extend their right. [Second Dispatch.] Atlanta, August 13. --The enemy advanced his right yesterday about one mile, and at the same time extending his left a short distance, but hurriedly withdrew both this morning, from some cause as yet unknown, to the original position. Their line officers attempted frequently, at different points along the line to-day, communication with ours. In several instances they proposed a cessation of picket firing, which was not entertained in consequence of its not coming through a proper channel. No shells were thrown into the city during the night o

The way "Patriotic" negroes are Enlisted at New Orleans. --The following item of news from New Orleans, August 2 we take from the New York Herald of August 13: "Emancipation day was celebrated yesterday, and while they were enjoying themselves hugely, the military authorities made a raid upon the able-bodied colored men fit to become soldiers, and abruptly terminated their pleasure by marching them off to the barracks where colored candidates for military glory and renown are forced to congregate. A regiment of cavalry is on duty now, making further raids upon colored men."

At 6 o'clock saw a schooner on port-bow coming on towards us. This was the R. E. Packer, of Pennsylvania, bound to Boston with a load of coal. Our decks were now very much crowded with prisoners, and, in consequence, the schooner was bonded for $30,000, and they were put on board. She had a valuable cargo besides coal. After leaving her, steered northeast by east. During the night a steamer passes, as supposed by her lights to be a Federal cruiser. We were not seen. August 13th.--It was scarcely daylight before two sail were reported, and in a few moments both were alongside. One was an English vessel, which, of course, we could not touch; the other, the barque Glenavon, of Thomaston, Maine, from Glasgow to New York, with a cargo of pig-iron. This was a fine, new barque, with splendid spars and double topsail yard. The captain had his wife on board,--a brave, good woman,--and a female servant. There were two passengers in the cabin, an old sea captain and his

als on the War. The English journals have nothing new to advance upon American affairs. The New York correspondent of the London Times, writing on the 9th of September, says that the Republican party, seeing the danger which menaces it from divided councils, is rapidly closing up its ranks — and in contrasting the Republican claims of Lincoln and McClellan, he contends that between them there is little to choose on public grounds. The Times correspondent at Richmond, writing August 13th, says there never was a moment when more confidence, as to the result of the war, was entertained throughout Secessia. The New York correspondent of the Daily News says that "whoever may be elected in November, you have nothing to look for but war. There is no peace party that will weigh in the contest, and unless some great change comes over the public mind, you will see no administration that will dare to cease fighting as long as the Confederacy is in existence.
