The whole force has been removed from Harrison's handing to Williamsburg without the Iosf of a single man or any of the government property. The movement has been most success, fully carried out, even in the face of & subtle foe. The letters from our special correspondents give the details of the operations from the very com¬ mencement to the arrival of the advance at Wil" liamaburg. The election in North Carolina has turned out to be a complete Lnion victory. The scoe.Hbion can¬ didate for every office have been defeated by an overwhelming majority. and Vauce (Union) has carried the State for Governor against Johnson (rebol) by a surplus of forty thousand votes. Col. Corcoran has been appointed a brigadier general, to dute from the batlio of Bull run. There is :io doubt but that he will have a noble and gallant command. W e have received Col. Go>!oi.'s report of the battlo at Cedar Mountain, but, for nam of space, we are compelled to omit its publication to-<lay. By Col. Clark*a report it will be perceived that the rebel force under Jackson on Uiat occasion numbered 24,isl2 men, including infantry, cavalry aad artillery. The arrival of the North Star and Boauoke from New Orleaas August 10, brings us the news ol a Union victory at Baton Bouge. The attack was made by the rebels under Gens. Breckinridge, Buggies, Lovell and Clarke, who had a force of fifteen regiments and ten pieces of artillery. The Union force coasisted of only two thousand five hundred men, and a small force of artillery, under Gen. William*. The tight lasted six hours, when the rebels were repulsed and routed. Our loss ia estimated at about seventy killed and two hun. dred and fifty wounded. The rebel loss ia very great. Tin- destruction of the ram Arkansas is also confirmed. The body o! Gen. Williams arrived in this city yesterclav an J was delivered to his friends. Gen. Hove/ has defeated a superior force of the rebels near Clarendon, Ark., after an obstinate fight, during which both sides suffered severely. The guerillas have succeeded in cutting off all railroad communication with Nashville, and in capturing two couriers, whom they robbed of their despatches and horses. The new General Order, No. 3, from the War Department prohibits the appointment of any more political generals. Only meritorious officers in aotive service wiil be promoted to that po¬ sition. The arrival of the Europa brings as two days later news, of the most imp' rtant character. Ma¬ son snd Slidell had deuundi the recognition of the Southern confederacy, but the demand had besn refused by England. It is said France had not replied : but another accounti-tai.es that Napo¬ leon had informed the rebel envoys that "the greatest Harrier to their recognition had been the objections ol tngiaad.'' MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. By the arrival of the stesm.-hips Han«s, st this port, and the Anglo-Saxon oil Father Point, we are in receipt of our Brtropean files to the 8th instant, and of telegraphic despatches from lyin denderry of the Rth insl. The new? by the^e arrivals, wbieh will be foutul in oar i.tae of this moruin?, is highly important. The British ministry s. ems finrlly determined not to be moved from its safe iiOn-iu'ervention course. The remarks on the subject ol t'.t r- oniUn ol the S«uthem Confederacy, wh i,a w r< xprnwd in the llou -e of Lords on t iv» rtiir. nt the 5th of August, and the words of Lord .Joha Bussed es. pecially. are of great interest. The tone of the London Time*, too, is softening down considera¬ bly, ani the violence of the "Thunderer" ha*, sub¬ sided into very gentle whisper*. in the meantime the agitation on the continent, .specially in Italy and Germany, would indicate a coming storin.

The Kmperor's aJiniitratiou of the government was gradually developing :he resources and great¬ ness of the empire. Recently his Majesty gave the sum of three hundred thousand fiMN for tho internal improvement ot the country. These im¬ provements were rapidly progressing, though trade and commerce are represented ss very dull. The Auxiliary Society of National Industry cele¬ brated its anniversary on the 15th of July, in the city of Rio. Mr. J. 0? Fletcher, of America, was pre-e.'it, and earnestly urged on the members the importance of extending the cultivation of wheat and cotton, as two great elements of national wealth and strength. He said that in the provinces of Santa Cathuriua, Parana and St. l'aul the climate was particularly favorable to the growth of cotton, and offered to the socicty a line col- lection of seeds of the Sea Island cotton, wheat, Ac.

The Evacuation of ii.iri-inou'* J.an«Iini{ by Ucnrral Jlrtlrl'ian. Wo have the satisfaction to announce to our reudt-rs this morning, by authority of the VV ir Department, that our splendid Array of the Potomac on Saturday morning last completed the important enterprise of the evacuation ot Uarri<-un's Landing, on the James river, anil (hut ihe army and its artillery, transportation ami supplies of all descriptions. were removed in safety and without interruption by the enemy. This evacuation, however, was not the work of a day. It had been going on for several days, beginning wiih tho removal of all our sick and wounded froiu the hospitals of the peninsula. The radical journals have done what they could, in the interval, to give information upon the subject calculated to be useful to the eneiuy; and if the retool* have not availed themselves of this information it las lt«>en because of their want of faith in these aforesaid journals as channels of reliable army intelligence. But had any d isaster resulted to oar army in the work of this evacuation a fearful responsibility would have fallen upon these faithless journals, which seem to have labored in this matter deliberately to corapaus the destruction of McClellan, at all hazards to tho army and the country. We congratulate oar readers, the army, tbe government and the country that this difficult and delicate undertaking on the part of General MuCleilaa of abandoning his late encampment oa the James river has resulted in a complete succes*. Thia succe a may be truly set down, under all tbe circum^tuncea atteiidiug it, a* one of tbe moat brilliaut achievements of the war. The enemy had been keeping a vigilaut watch upon all tbe movements' of McClellan. Hhey bad surrounded him, and were ready to pounce upon liim in overwhelming force in whatever direction he might attempt to escape. To secure hi.-* object it wa.- nece«sary for McClellan to distract the enemy and to divide his forces, llare tbe presence of a sagacious and experienced soldier at Wash¬ ington. as the General-in-Chief of the army, in the place ot an inexperienced civilian, baa proved to be of the greatest value. General lialleck knew exactly how to Assist General McClellan in the ta*k before him. ilcriee the forward overland movement of General i'o|»c and ills army towards Richmond, aud the quiet bat maaterly manner in which all the needful transports were from night to night. for several Weeks, moved into and out from Harrison** Landing. But the particular diversion? which appear to have most befogjred aud embarrassed tha enemy In thia enterprise were thc*e of General Met lel- tan himself, threatening from the opposite side of the river a movement upon Richmond by way of Petersburg, and from this side an ad- vitnra upon the rebel capital en moM«e by way of M.ilvei n If ill: lor in the one rase a force of thirty thousand rebeis wan tuov<«d down to tbe defence of Petersburg, and ill the other a rebel column of one hundred thousand men whs hur¬ ried down to dispute the pamaga of Malvern JfIT.. It was also somewhat difficult for the rebels to believe, after he bad fortified- himself, that General McClellan. except to advance, seriously meditated tbe evacuation of his -trong |>ortition within thirty miles of their ca¬ pital. and with a powerful fleet of gnnboata to .aedst him in working lii* way up the river, la- deed, there are not wanting some inquisitive me) dies on onr side who are disponed to ques tion tbe expedU ncy of this evacuation, as- sutvin? tkaft General McClellan could maintain himself again.it any attack until sufficiently strengthened by reinforecmeutu f®r a forward movement. We are «.itist»"d. however, that this evacua¬ tion of II arrl-on'» Landing w*« a* widely re¬ solved upon by the government a* it baa be»-n sKilfnllj eKeented. It is now the sickly season on tbe James river, and tile late encampment of our »rmf there, with a miasrmtie iuirab on either flunk, was anything but a healthy sana¬ tion. In fact, tbe sanitary condition of th« army demanded its removal. There ware, too, other military reruKHt* for this step. W<- may indi¬ cate the most important, in tbe. questions, of whai use to us would be tho army on the Jamys river if the rebel array, two hundred tho'vand strong, leaving Richmond under tbe protection of its fortifications, were to move northward upon General Pope and follow him inta Washington? or how can we expect either tbe army of Gen. Pope or that of Gen. McClellan to advance upon Richmond, wit* a rebel army between them equal ia numbers to both T Our two armlet, approaching within ¦triking distance, would thus be in tbe position of an army out in twain oa the field of battle, and ia danger of being utterly destroyed in detail. What, then, has become of the Anny of tl\e Potomae? On Saturday morning at ei At o'clock Gen. McClellan's advance arrived 5^ Williamsburg; but by this time it 1b probable that the wWe peninsula has *been abandoned by our forces, excepting Yorktown aud some essential points of oocupatiou in the neighbor¬ hood of Fortress Monroe. We are content for the present with what has been accomplished in the evacuation of Harrison's Landing. In moving 'onward to Richmond" we have been twice repulsed by the same strategy of the enemy. At Manassas, leaving Gen. Patterson asleep with a superior anny in the Shenandoah valley, the rebel Gen. Jo. Johnston came up with his fresh troops in season to turn a victory won into a disastrous defeat; and next, Stonewall Jackson steals away from the fifty or sixty thousand men reserved by the War Department to catch him, and, with forty thousand unexpected men, turns the right flank o.' General McClellan on the Chlckahominy. This thing, we are now assured, with Gene¬ ral iialleck holding the rein?, will not be per¬ mitted the third time. On the contrary, while we interpret this last retrograde movement of our Army of the Potomac as positively arrest¬ ing the advance of the rebel army from Rich¬ mond, we believe that, from the three, four or five thousand fresh troops per day under the new call pouring into Washington, we shall, within twenty days, be able to move forward an army in Virginia strong enough to enter the rebel capital and hold it, perhaps, without an¬ other battle.

JxKKFic'iKNCY..Since Commodore now Admiral) Foote resigned tLo com¬ mand of our Mississippi gunboat flotilla matters have not been progressing very well on that river. Flag Oflicer Davis haa failed to exhibit the qualities that were looked lor in '.he successor of that dashing but expe¬ rienced officer. The attack on Vicksburg was badly planned an l was conducted with little judgment. The manner in which the rebel ram Arkansas was allowed to escape from the Ya/.oo river and run the gauntlet ,»f our upper fleet showed, to say the least of it, a great, want of vigilance; and the failure to support the l^ssex in ner gallant attempt to cut her out from un¬ der the rebel batteries seems to have been caused entirely by the non-complianco of itr coinmundcr with the conditions of the previous¬ ly arranged plan of operations. The facts, as set forth by one of our- correspondents oij board the flotilla, have been fttlly confirmed by the official report of Commander Porter, of the Kssex. lie states that he was allowed to remain under the tire of the enemy's heaviest batteries for upwards of un hour and thirty minutes, at a distance of from eighty to one hun¬ dred yards, without the slightest effort being made by either of the fleets to come to his re¬ lief. lie was, therefore, reluctantly compelled to give orders to put the head of the vessel down stream. Now, the* initial movement, according to the plan of operations, was to have been made by Flag Officer Davis; and it is to be inferred that, finding the guns of the latter did not engage the upper batteries, Captain Farragut was led to believe that the Ktsex bad hucweded, or would succeed, in accomplishing the Work alone. Flag Officer Davis in evidently not the man to command a fleet in important operation* of rhla kind. The Tacts, as they have transpired, bear too unpleasant a similarity to a story told ot him at Port Itoyal not to force tut to this con¬ clusion. It is stated that while he was second in command to Commodore Dnpont be was sent with t>everal veaxels to make a rrconooisJiauce up the Savannah river. He took with him an experienced pilot, and, on reeon- noitoring the river, found that the rebels hud placed obstructions across the channel. Satisfied with ascertaining the fact, ho gave the order to return to the deet, when the pilot remonsdrvted with him. suiting the obstructions couid be easily removed dur¬ ing the ui^ht, and .Savannah captured. '"Say nothing about it,*' replied Davis; "we have takeu Hilton Head, and that will sulfide for the present.** We do not vouch for the truth of thin *tory; but it bears an unfortunate resem¬ blance t4> the narrative of the £tvex affair. given by Commander Porter. Without laying too much »tre<H on the latter, we think there is *uf ticient in the facts that have been officially brought tinder the notice of the Department to call for an investigation into Flag OQicev Davis Conduct at Vioksburg. Akcubimmop HrriHM ov Tiik War..The ser¬ mon ofArrlibishop 11 uglte? on the war u emi¬ nently conservative and patriotic. We comes out unreservedly in 1avor of sustaining the 1 nion and the constitution, and tbinka the whole people ought to demand to be drafted in order to make short work of the * ar, and in order to avoid the danger of foreign interven¬ tion in consequence of protracting the struggle. When he was in Europe be is reported to have naid in one of his speeches that il J'-tf. Davis and the South should be successful he would yield hi# allegiance to them. ' But it is remark¬ able he does not nay this now. The Archbishop is satisfied since his return that the success of t he North is no longer doubtful. Hence he ceases to argue upon the hypothesis of South¬ ern success. The principle of Dr. Hughes and the doctrine ei the Catholic Church agree in rendering to Ciesar the things that are Ctrsur'a. The Catholic Church is in favor of . tJ»e Powers that be,r' without regard to the justice of their cause. It is in faver of existing organized government, in contradistinction to revolution and anaschy, and also in faror of unity and con¬ solidation, even to imperialism, in opposition to disintegration and lohiMn. ArchMsbop Hughes, therefore, a-* a ohurchm in, is on the side of law and order. How d'fler*nt if his course from that of the Cheerers and licechers who only irive the government it conditional support, and do not pray for its sncceM unless .t proclaims universal emanciput on and armstie negroes.

St*wa*t »ob Govwukmu.The inde- pendent war party are getting up a movemeut in favor of A. T. Stewart for Governor, whom they intend to run without the leave of the democratic or republican party, or any other political organization. This ia a healthy sign of the times, indicative of the determination of the people to overthrow the existing rotten or¬ ganizations, whose leaders in this State iiav e cheated the ^overnrmmt and the country out of thirty millions of dollars by gun contracts and other fraudulent operations. It is high time to demolish the old parties which have brought ruin on the country, and to make a new start with a party whose function it will be to aid the government In l.r.n^lng the war to a suc¬ cessful isMie, by restoring the Union as it ex Uited beforetbe rebellion began, and preserving iutact the con titution, 1 :ie 1>op1 and instrument of the Union, without addition, omi«ion or the alteration of a single letter. Mr. Stewart ia a high minded 'fulemuL..a merchant above the tricks of politicians. Let him be the people s candidate, and let the old prrty hacks shrink away abashed, and hide their diminished heads, while fresh men men of intelligence and unim¬ peachable character.take their place in every position of trust, honor and emolument through¬ out the Northern States. These are times which try men's souls; and it is essential to the safety of the republic to place at the head of affairs men of the right stamp, who will conduct the country safely through the crisis. Gkhkij-:? and thk Nkgko Riot qi New Orijc\ks..Yesterday the Tribune, from lack of enterprise, copied our New Orleans cor¬ respondence giving an acoount of the uegvo riot in that city, at which some negro* were killed and wounded, and several policemen in¬ jured in quelling the disorder. But for the timely aid of four soldiers of the Tweltth Maine the police would have been overpowered aud ill killed. Greeley endorses this report aa true, but denounces the policemen and soldiers as .. murderers/' This is the favorite" epithet of Wendell Phillips for the Union army, the l*resi- dent and the administration; and Greeley, who is leagued with that bad, bold man. attempts to implicate the President in "the criminal car¬ nage" and "murder" at New Orleans. He says:. I tad President Lincoln issued a proclamation «poa ilis of Urn Con fiscal Job net, selling forth the i>io visions and ffiuirewmiis of tlial act, ao<l directing all L,io military, t.aval md civil subordinates to render strict obodici.W iticreto, ll is not (KHsi)»ie lh.il the IiiIui^h woiUil not hive reached New Orloaus iu *e*«ou U> avert this able atrocity. Thus the President is charged with being the cause of this ' deplorable atrocity" and "New Orleans murders." It is the legislation ol a radical Congress, and not the President, that is chargeable with riot and loss of life. What .ire the facts? By a previous arrival our readers v\ere made aware that on some of the neighboring plantations the blacks were ex¬ cited by the abolitionists.who had found their way into New Orleans under the protection of our Hag. which they are sadly abusing.that they menaced the lives of the white women and children, who were only saved by the interpo¬ sition of one of our gunboats. Greeley gloried in this state of things, and condemns the inter¬ ference to prevent horrid outrage and massacre. Again, these blacks organize and appear in the streets of New Orleans in a body, flourishing long sugar cane knives and acting iu a disorderly man¬ ner. The police.the preservers of order and protectors of the community.proceeded to an est them in their career, in pursuance of the municipal laws, when a conflict began, which resulted in the loss of several lives. Who were the aggressors? The blacks, stimulated by the aboMtionista, appearing in the streets armed aud in a tumultuous manner, at a time when no white citizen would be permitted to bear a weapon in public, aud any three found to¬ gether in the street were liable to arrest, by order of General Butler. The police only did their duty; and if any of them should die of their wounds the whole party of negroes ought to be hanged, and the white abolition liends who urged thejp to destruction all hanged from the same ..sonr apple tree.'' It is hard enough for the government to have to deal with an insurrection of white men at the South without having ?n insurrection of blacks on its hands, fomented by missionaries of mis. chief.secret emissaries sent out by the aboli¬ tion conspirator* in New York and New Eng¬ land. whose purpose is to effect the peruiaueut dissolution of the Union at all hazards. The first attempt at servile insurrection, however^ has been a signal failure, and has ^been re- preyed by the aid of the Union aobtiors. So perish all future attempts of the Satanic abolitionists.

This is a small figure ia the budget of tho Utter department,which ia accustomed uow a days to the tune of hundreds of millions.

THE SIT.CT.VTION.The uews from General McCleUan's s*-myis very

.important. The whole force has been removedfrom Harrison's handing to Williamsburg withoutthe Iosf of a single man or any of the governmentproperty. The movement has been most success,

fully carried out, even in the face of & subtle foe.The letters from our special correspondents givethe details of the operations from the very com¬

mencement to the arrival of the advance at Wil"liamaburg.

The election in North Carolina has turned out tobe a complete Lnion victory. The scoe.Hbion can¬

didate for every office have been defeated by an

overwhelming majority. and Vauce (Union) hascarried the State for Governor against Johnson

(rebol) by a surplus of forty thousand votes.Col. Corcoran has been appointed a brigadier

general, to dute from the batlio of Bull run.

There is :io doubt but that he will have a nobleand gallant command.W e have received Col. Go>!oi.'s report of the

battlo at Cedar Mountain, but, for nam of space,we are compelled to omit its publication to-<lay.By Col. Clark*a report it will be perceived thatthe rebel force under Jackson on Uiat occasionnumbered 24,isl2 men, including infantry, cavalryaad artillery.The arrival of the North Star and Boauoke from

New Orleaas August 10, brings us the news ol a

Union victory at Baton Bouge. The attack was

made by the rebels under Gens. Breckinridge,Buggies, Lovell and Clarke, who had a force offifteen regiments and ten pieces of artillery. TheUnion force coasisted of only two thousand fivehundred men, and a small force of artillery, underGen. William*. The tight lasted six hours, whenthe rebels were repulsed and routed. Our loss iaestimated at about seventy killed and two hun.dred and fifty wounded. The rebel loss ia verygreat. Tin- destruction of the ram Arkansas isalso confirmed.The body o! Gen. Williams arrived in this city

yesterclav anJ was delivered to his friends.Gen. Hove/ has defeated a superior force of the

rebels near Clarendon, Ark., after an obstinate

fight, during which both sides suffered severely.The guerillas have succeeded in cutting off all

railroad communication with Nashville, and in

capturing two couriers, whom they robbed of theirdespatches and horses.The new General Order, No. 3, from the War

Department prohibits the appointment of anymore political generals. Only meritorious officersin aotive service wiil be promoted to that po¬sition.The arrival of the Europa brings as two days

later news, of the most imp' rtant character. Ma¬son snd Slidell had deuundi the recognition of

the Southern confederacy, but the demand hadbesn refused by England. It is said France hadnot replied : but another accounti-tai.es that Napo¬leon had informed the rebel envoys that "the

greatest Harrier to their recognition had been theobjections ol tngiaad.''

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.By the arrival of the stesm.-hips Han«s, st this

port, and the Anglo-Saxon oil Father Point, we

are in receipt of our Brtropean files to the 8thinstant, and of telegraphic despatches from lyindenderry of the Rth insl.The new? by the^e arrivals, wbieh will be foutul

in oar i.tae of this moruin?, is highly important.The British ministry s. ems finrlly determined not

to be moved from its safe iiOn-iu'ervention course.The remarks on the subject ol t'.t r- oniUn olthe S«uthem Confederacy, wh i,a w r< xprnwdin the llou -e of Lords on t iv» rtiir. nt the 5th ofAugust, and the words of Lord .Joha Bussed es.

pecially. are of great interest. The tone of theLondon Time*, too, is softening down considera¬bly, ani the violence of the "Thunderer" ha*, sub¬sided into very gentle whisper*.

in the meantime the agitation on the continent,.specially in Italy and Germany, would indicate a

coming storin.The West li:di& rrail i-fenmer Plantsitenet. from

Kingston, Jamaica, and Port au Prince, arrived ftthis port yesterday morning, with dates fr» ni

The Evacuation of ii.iri-inou'* J.an«Iini{by Ucnrral Jlrtlrl'ian.

Wo have the satisfaction to announce to our

reudt-rs this morning, by authority of the VV ir

Department, that our splendid Array of thePotomac on Saturday morning last completedthe important enterprise of the evacuation otUarri<-un's Landing, on the James river, anil(hut ihe army and its artillery, transportationami supplies of all descriptions. were removedin safety and without interruption by theenemy.

This evacuation, however, was not the workof a day. It had been going on for severaldays, beginning wiih tho removal of all our

sick and wounded froiu the hospitals ofthe peninsula. The radical journals havedone what they could, in the interval, to giveinformation upon the subject calculated to beuseful to the eneiuy; and if the retool* havenot availed themselves of this information itlas lt«>en because of their want of faithin these aforesaid journals as channelsof reliable army intelligence. But hadany d isaster resulted to oar army in thework of this evacuation a fearful responsibilitywould have fallen upon these faithlessjournals, which seem to have labored in thismatter deliberately to corapaus the destructionof McClellan, at all hazards to tho army andthe country.We congratulate oar readers, the army, tbe

government and the country that this difficultand delicate undertaking on the part of GeneralMuCleilaa of abandoning his late encampmentoa the James river has resulted in a completesucces*. Thia succe a may be truly set down,under all tbe circum^tuncea atteiidiug it, a* oneof tbe moat brilliaut achievements of the war.

The enemy had been keeping a vigilaut watchupon all tbe movements' of McClellan. Hheybad surrounded him, and were ready to

pounce upon liim in overwhelming forcein whatever direction he might attemptto escape. To secure hi.-* object it wa.-

nece«sary for McClellan to distract the enemyand to divide his forces, llare tbe presenceof a sagacious and experienced soldier at Wash¬ington. as the General-in-Chief of the army, inthe place ot an inexperienced civilian, baaproved to be of the greatest value. Generallialleck knew exactly how to Assist GeneralMcClellan in the ta*k before him. ilcriee theforward overland movement of General i'o|»cand ills army towards Richmond, aud the quietbat maaterly manner in which all the needfultransports were from night to night. for severalWeeks, moved into and out from Harrison**Landing.But the particular diversion? which appear to

have most befogjred aud embarrassed tha enemyIn thia enterprise were thc*e of General Met lel-tan himself, threatening from the opposite sideof the river a movement upon Richmond byway of Petersburg, and from this side an ad-vitnra upon the rebel capital en moM«e by wayof M.ilvei n If ill: lor in the one rase a force ofthirty thousand rebeis wan tuov<«d down to tbedefence of Petersburg, and ill the other a rebelcolumn of one hundred thousand men whs hur¬ried down to dispute the pamaga of MalvernJfIT.. It was also somewhat difficult for therebels to believe, after he bad fortified- himself,that General McClellan. except to advance,seriously meditated tbe evacuation of his-trong |>ortition within thirty miles of their ca¬

pital. and with a powerful fleet of gnnboata to.aedst him in working lii* way up the river, la-deed, there are not wanting some inquisitiveme)dies on onr side who are disponed to question tbe expedU ncy of this evacuation, as-

sutvin? tkaft General McClellan could maintainhimself again.it any attack until sufficientlystrengthened by reinforecmeutu f®r a forwardmovement.We are «.itist»"d. however, that this evacua¬

tion of II arrl-on'» Landing w*« a* widely re¬

solved upon by the government a* it baa be»-nsKilfnllj eKeented. It is now the sickly season

on tbe James river, and tile late encampment ofour »rmf there, with a miasrmtie iuirab on

either flunk, was anything but a healthy sana¬

tion. In fact, tbe sanitary condition of th« armydemanded its removal. There ware, too, othermilitary reruKHt* for this step. W<- may indi¬cate the most important, in tbe. questions,of whai use to us would be tho armyon the Jamys river if the rebel array, twohundred tho'vand strong, leaving Richmondunder tbe protection of its fortifications,were to move northward upon GeneralPope and follow him inta Washington? or

how can we expect either tbe army of Gen.Pope or that of Gen. McClellan to advance uponRichmond, wit* a rebel army between them

equal ia numbers to both T Our two armlet,approaching within ¦triking distance, wouldthus be in tbe position of an army out in twainoa the field of battle, and ia danger of beingutterly destroyed in detail.

What, then, has become of the Anny of tl\ePotomae? On Saturday morning at eiAto'clock Gen. McClellan's advance arrived 5^Williamsburg; but by this time it 1b probablethat the wWe peninsula has *been abandonedby our forces, excepting Yorktown aud some

essential points of oocupatiou in the neighbor¬hood of Fortress Monroe. We are content forthe present with what has been accomplishedin the evacuation of Harrison's Landing. Inmoving 'onward to Richmond" we have beentwice repulsed by the same strategy of theenemy. At Manassas, leaving Gen. Pattersonasleep with a superior anny in the Shenandoahvalley, the rebel Gen. Jo. Johnston came upwith his fresh troops in season to turn a

victory won into a disastrous defeat; andnext, Stonewall Jackson steals away from thefifty or sixty thousand men reserved by theWar Department to catch him, and, with fortythousand unexpected men, turns the right flanko.' General McClellan on the Chlckahominy.This thing, we are now assured, with Gene¬

ral iialleck holding the rein?, will not be per¬mitted the third time. On the contrary, whilewe interpret this last retrograde movement ofour Army of the Potomac as positively arrest¬ing the advance of the rebel army from Rich¬mond, we believe that, from the three, four or

five thousand fresh troops per day under thenew call pouring into Washington, we shall,within twenty days, be able to move forwardan army in Virginia strong enough to enter therebel capital and hold it, perhaps, without an¬

other battle.

Thk Fiuiit ok tab Esskx vvij'h t'ik Arkan¬sas. Navai. JxKKFic'iKNCY..Since Commodorenow Admiral) Foote resigned tLo com¬

mand of our Mississippi gunboat flotillamatters have not been progressing verywell on that river. Flag Oflicer Davis haafailed to exhibit the qualities that were lookedlor in '.he successor of that dashing but expe¬rienced officer. The attack on Vicksburg was

badly planned an l was conducted with littlejudgment. The manner in which the rebel ram

Arkansas was allowed to escape from the Ya/.ooriver and run the gauntlet ,»f our upper fleetshowed, to say the least of it, a great, want of

vigilance; and the failure to support the l^ssexin ner gallant attempt to cut her out from un¬

der the rebel batteries seems to have beencaused entirely by the non-complianco of itrcoinmundcr with the conditions of the previous¬ly arranged plan of operations. The facts, as

set forth by one of our- correspondents oij boardthe flotilla, have been fttlly confirmed bythe official report of Commander Porter,of the Kssex. lie states that he was allowed toremain under the tire of the enemy's heaviestbatteries for upwards of un hour and thirtyminutes, at a distance of from eighty to one hun¬dred yards, without the slightest effort beingmade by either of the fleets to come to his re¬

lief. lie was, therefore, reluctantly compelledto give orders to put the head of the vesseldown stream. Now, the* initial movement,according to the plan of operations, was to havebeen made by Flag Officer Davis; and it is tobe inferred that, finding the guns of the latterdid not engage the upper batteries, CaptainFarragut was led to believe that the Ktsex badhucweded, or would succeed, in accomplishingthe Work alone.Flag Officer Davis in evidently not the man

to command a fleet in important operation* ofrhla kind. The Tacts, as they have transpired,bear too unpleasant a similarity to a story toldot him at Port Itoyal not to force tut to this con¬

clusion. It is stated that while he was secondin command to Commodore Dnpont be was sentwith t>everal veaxels to make a rrconooisJiauceup the Savannah river. He took withhim an experienced pilot, and, on reeon-

noitoring the river, found that therebels hud placed obstructions acrossthe channel. Satisfied with ascertaining thefact, ho gave the order to return to the deet,when the pilot remonsdrvted with him. suitingthe obstructions couid be easily removed dur¬ing the ui^ht, and .Savannah captured. '"Saynothing about it,*' replied Davis; "we havetakeu Hilton Head, and that will sulfide for thepresent.** We do not vouch for the truth ofthin *tory; but it bears an unfortunate resem¬

blance t4> the narrative of the £tvex affair. givenby Commander Porter. Without laying toomuch »tre<H on the latter, we think there is *ufticient in the facts that have been officiallybrought tinder the notice of the Department tocall for an investigation into Flag OQicev DavisConduct at Vioksburg.

The Archbishopis satisfied since his return that the success oft he North is no longer doubtful. Hence heceases to argue upon the hypothesis of South¬ern success.

A T. St*wa*t »ob Govwukmu.The inde-pendent war party are getting up a movemeutin favor of A. T. Stewart for Governor, whomthey intend to run without the leave of thedemocratic or republican party, or any otherpolitical organization. This ia a healthy signof the times, indicative of the determination ofthe people to overthrow the existing rotten or¬

ganizations, whose leaders in this State iiav echeated the ^overnrmmt and the country out ofthirty millions of dollars by gun contracts andother fraudulent operations. It is high time todemolish the old parties which have broughtruin on the country, and to make a new startwith a party whose function it will be to aidthe government In l.r.n^lng the war to a suc¬

cessful isMie, by restoring the Union as it exUited beforetbe rebellion began, and preservingiutact the con titution, 1 :ie 1>op1 and instrumentof the Union, without addition, omi«ion or thealteration of a single letter. Mr. Stewart ia a

high minded 'fulemuL..a merchant above thetricks of politicians. Let him be the people s

candidate, and let the old prrty hacks shrinkaway abashed, and hide their diminished heads,while fresh men men of intelligence and unim¬peachable character.take their place in everyposition of trust, honor and emolument through¬out the Northern States. These are times whichtry men's souls; and it is essential to the safetyof the republic to place at the head of affairsmen of the right stamp, who will conduct thecountry safely through the crisis.

Gkhkij-:? and thk Nkgko Riot qi NewOrijc\ks..Yesterday the Tribune, from lackof enterprise, copied our New Orleans cor¬

respondence giving an acoount of the uegvoriot in that city, at which some negro* were

killed and wounded, and several policemen in¬jured in quelling the disorder. But for thetimely aid of four soldiers of the Tweltth Mainethe police would have been overpowered audill killed. Greeley endorses this report aa true,but denounces the policemen and soldiers as.. murderers/' This is the favorite" epithet ofWendell Phillips for the Union army, the l*resi-dent and the administration; and Greeley, whois leagued with that bad, bold man. attempts toimplicate the President in "the criminal car¬

nage" and "murder" at New Orleans. Hesays:.

I tad President Lincoln issued a proclamation «poa ilisof Urn Con fiscalJob net, selling forth the i>io

visions and ffiuirewmiis of tlial act, ao<l directing allL,io military, t.aval md civil subordinates to renderstrict obodici.W iticreto, ll is not (KHsi)»ie lh.il the IiiIui^hwoiUil not hive reached New Orloaus iu *e*«ou U> avertthis able atrocity.Thus the President is charged with being the

cause of this ' deplorable atrocity" and "NewOrleans murders." It is the legislation ol a

radical Congress, and not the President, that ischargeable with riot and loss of life. What.ire the facts? By a previous arrival our

readers v\ere made aware that on some of theneighboring plantations the blacks were ex¬

cited by the abolitionists.who had found theirway into New Orleans under the protection ofour Hag. which they are sadly abusing.thatthey menaced the lives of the white women andchildren, who were only saved by the interpo¬sition of one of our gunboats. Greeley gloriedin this state of things, and condemns the inter¬ference to prevent horrid outrage and massacre.

Again, these blacks organize and appear in thestreets ofNew Orleans in a body, flourishing longsugar cane knives and acting iu a disorderly man¬ner. The police.the preservers of order andprotectors of the community.proceeded toan est them in their career, in pursuance of themunicipal laws, when a conflict began, whichresulted in the loss of several lives. Who were

the aggressors? The blacks, stimulated bythe aboMtionista, appearing in the streetsarmed aud in a tumultuous manner, at a timewhen no white citizen would be permitted to beara weapon in public, aud any three found to¬gether in the street were liable to arrest, byorder of General Butler. The police only didtheir duty; and if any of them should die oftheir wounds the whole party of negroes oughtto be hanged, and the white abolition liendswho urged thejp to destruction all hangedfrom the same ..sonr apple tree.''

It is hard enough for the government to haveto deal with an insurrection of white men at theSouth without having ?n insurrection of blackson its hands, fomented by missionaries of mis.chief.secret emissaries sent out by the aboli¬tion conspirator* in New York and New Eng¬land. whose purpose is to effect the peruiaueutdissolution of the Union at all hazards. Thefirst attempt at servile insurrection, however^has been a signal failure, and has ^been re-

preyed by the aid of the Union aobtiors. Soperish all future attempts of the Satanicabolitionists.
