From the London 15erald, July 20. ■' The second invasion of the Northern States by a Oonfederate army has terminated, like the first, frihout result. After two years of slaughter— si tier the sacrifice of at least two hundred thousand captured person on account of his color and for no offence against the laws of war, Ls a relapse into barbarism, and a crime against the civilization oi tlie age. The.G-overnmeat of the United States will give the same protection to all it? soldiers, and if the enemy.shall sell or enslave any one be- 30,—It is the duty uf every Government to giv^ protection to its citizens, of whatever class, color,- or cond^feion, and especially fo those who are duv ly organized as soldiers in the public service. The law of nations, and the usages arid customs of war, as carried on by civilized powers, permit no dis tinction as to color in the treatment of prisoners of war as public enemies. To sell or enslave in, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, the "* *i? UI-. -..1.^.. r,7 nTT.^ima lo r»/»l*, or. o-d/I Qrt.r+l, to p.'sition of affairs is unchanged. The South is slili too weak fur successful'^ggression. The Nqrth finds each fresh effort at invasion a more d'Nahtrous failure; and yet there is not the slight- prospect ot the end of the struggle. Mr. Se- VHrd is beginning to renew his ninety days pro cause of bis color, the offence shall be puniahetf^Viefi. The fall of Vicksburg has given him a bv’rntflliatinn unnn t>l> oni»niv’(5 nrl(;r»Tw»ra in /:4w Icasc of uower. He is evidently forecastinp- possession.- It is thenffore ordered that for every soldier of the United States killed in violation of the laws of war, a rebel soldier shall be executed; and foe every one enslaved by the enemy, or sold into slavery, a rebel soldier shall be placed at hard labor on the public works, and continue labor until ttio otlicr sl all bo rcleaseti, and reeejvt* the treatment due to a prisoner of war.

The Now York Tribune thinks'there will be resistance to the draft in New Yorh city. The liabilities of the qity of New York, destruction of private property in the recent riots and the services of extra police and military force, for the occasion, will.amount to $1,500,000.

The news we get from Europe (through tire Northern papers) is of a very important character. The reply of the Russian Government to the noLi of the three Western Powers [in regard to Poland] is regarded as entirely unsatisfactory. While conceding the conference asked for, Russia abso lutely refuses to grant an armistice. Her plan is, first to subdue by the sword, and afterwards Id diplomatize. ~France, England and Austria are therefore considering what measure.s it is incum-. bent on them now to take. It is given out as a' positive fact that the agreement of these fhree Powers upon the policy to be pursued is certain. The London Times regards the position a‘.sumed by Russia as humiliating to England, and expreSc.-; prov'eS so unprui^fious.

The London Times does not think the Y^’ankees auy nearer to tbeif object. It says on the 20th: “The Cabinet of Washington are not equal.lo their task. Every crisis of affairs seems to elicit additional pr-jofs that tliey ai’o in every respect unfit to deabwith the events passing around»*.henl. The gleam of success that has fallen on tfa^'Fed^ ral arms, in tlie surrender of Vicksburg, and tlie incidents of.the second Maryland campaign, have exhibited (he President and lus chief ministers in a manner almost pitiabh. With their country torn asunder, and its soil still reeking with blOod;" they only find a voice to a.akc pnor and flippant election speeches. When “sereiiaded,” as a popu lar congratulation on tiio thc fall of Vicksburg, the President made an address to the crowd that “not even the friendly reports could invest with dig nity.” The Seoretary of ^V'ar “claimed the merit of rotaining Gen’i Grant in command, and con sequently of the victory achieved.” Ho turned the event to a crimination of some of his ' lion. J. L. M. Curry,of Alabama, on tKe War. —Hon. J. L. M. Curry delivered an address be- a large number of ladies and gentlemen at h|s home in Talladega, Alabama, a few days ago, ii) which ho announced himself a candidate for re- iction, and stated his po.sition upon questions at ue. Referring to peace, he said; .*[^jaraestly desired anti prayed for an honora- -that at the sacrifice and independence, obuld at any e have been brought about, was an ignorant i’iusion; afid copious Extracts from Preaideiil Uavis’ messages, showing “that President, Con- ^Ij^s.&nd people of the Confederate States desired tt \)eaceful solution” of the questions at issue. The effort to organize a peace party in the South was declared to be unjust to our sister States, gwssly wrongful to the army, and an encourage- uiciit to our enemies to persevere in their unhal- r«rod designs- Whatever pf peace sentiment ex- i.'fa, or has found expression at the North, was ba-sed exclusively ou the idea of reconstruction, an-i that was a proposition too monstrous to be to^rated by any Southerner. While he would ig stickle ou auy rules of false propriety in g^ing propositions for peace, he had more hope j^onquering a peace than in humbly begging .^e yankees to abandon their wicked purpose. If Kace be desired by the North, a withdrawal of army from our soil would accomplish it. The, Ai’ost Prutal Murder of the War.—The ;!7jtgomery (Ala.)

She •ps visiting the house of a friend sonje six miles British Thrift from the War..—The London Times,.of .the 4th June, gives some statistics from the report of the Commissioners of Customs which are interesting. It appears that the total of Bri tish and Irish exports in 1860, were £135,900,000; in 1861, £125,100,00(11; in 1862, £124,100,000. Thus it appears that the enfire decrease in the ex ports of last year was only one tenth of that which took place the year before, and this, notwithstand ing the decrease in cotton goods alone amounted to £10,000,000, or about fifty millions of dollarsl The Times very truly remarks, “a vast progress, must have been- made in other branches* ol our export trade to fill up such a chasm and bring up the grand total to within a million of that for 1861.” It proceeds'to say, “such a progress has been realized to an extent and in directions we should^hardly have anticipated. 'An advance of £2,000,000in woolen manufactures; of £1,000,000 in iron and iron manufactures; of £1,300,000 in linen manufactures; of £1,200,000 in arms and ammunition,'and of £400,000 in steam engines, accounts for nearly £6,000,000 of this gain. The destination of some ot these commodities will readily be guessed, and we are less surprised than the Commissioners to hear that American orders upon British manufacturers for 1862 exceeded those of 1861 by more than £5,000,000. Hav ing fallen from £21,500,000 in 1860 to £9,000,000 in 3861, our exports to America amounted in 1862 to upwards of £14,000,000. , This, too, is in spite ot the blockade, and represents our commerce with the Northern and Pacifip ports alone.'” Thus for the Times.

From Culpeper —It i.s generally understood that our army has evacuated Culpeper, and is now west of the liapidan. This movement, it is said, was inevitable, the army not having been in con dition, numerically, to attvanee against Meade, as was expected, while th^ latter had been strength ened by large reinforcements. -Pielimond Faquirer, bth. ' Tlie arrival of. the Fredericksburg and Central trains yesterday afternoon placed us in poasessiou of very little informat-ion from Gen. Lee’s ar^, beyond general movements rendered necessary by those in Meade's army. It was reported the enemy had in some force reoccupied Stafford heights, and that Marye’s hei^lits had been occu pied by a portion of our forces. Gem'Leo’s army was rapidly recuperating and getting into, ex cellent fighting trim since the march to the new positions, and preparations betokened a battle pos.sible, if not probable.—Examiner, Qth. Orange C. H., Au». 5.-^There was a fight at Brandy Station yesterday between a body of Slu art’s cavalry aud Major Brockham’J horse artillery and three brigades of yankees, with cavalry and twelve pieces of artillery. Stuart brought on the fight by flhelitpg the woods, in which the enemy were concealed, The enetny resp(3nded aud the fight became generaU lasfing from two o’clock un til night.

Last night we captured a yankee barge, containing one brass- Howitzer and ten Marines. We killed several of the crew of the barge. No loss ou our side. The barge belonged to the yankee frigate Wabash. ^ From the Southwest.—MoR’fON, MiSS., Attg. 4.—Twenty-two transports, laden with troops, pass ed Nirtchez, going down, up to Friday. A numlier of Banks’ and Burnside’s regiments have been mustered out, their term of service having expired. Transports loaded with negroes are sent up dai ly to island 10 to be instructed in the manual of arms. East and West Louisiana have been strip ped to form negro regiments. Pillaging parties are ijent out daily from the garrisons of Natchez and New Carthage, who atrip the country of provisions, and commit, every species of vandalism. Yankee Raid, in GloucesteJ.—We learn that on Saturday last a force of the enemy came up York river as fur as Cappahosie, whore they land ed and proceeded on a marauding excursion through Gloucester county. They took off u .good inany negroes and horses. The former went very unwillingly, and before reaching Gloucester Point, managed to make their escape from their captors, and all came back.—Rich. Whig, 5tA. Grant Reinforcing Meade.—^here is no longer a doubt but that Gen. Grant, immediately alter the surrender of Vicksburg, reinforced General Meade to the extent of 1.5,000 to 20^000 troops. The troops were sent on board transports,at Vicks burg two days after its fall, and arrived in the, Chesapeake about^a fortnight since.. .

Ail eyes may soon be tpfnbdjio it as ihe theatre on which the fate (for the present at least) of Alabama will be decided. All is activity.. _ Grant has most certainly returned to the Mis sissippi. There are reasons for believing that he ' will transport his forces down the river, with a view of attacking Mobile. His plan would, in all probability, be to land a heavy force at Pascagoula, and another at Pensacola, and thence move simul taneously on the- city. But, whatever Grant’s plans are, our military authorities are not asleep. The old scarred hero ot a dozen battles, Joe Johnston, is here. The fortifications are being rapidly completed. The advance of Johnston’s army is in supporting dis tance of Mobile, and everything indicates that if. Vicksburg held its own a whole year the siege ot Mobile will last as long as that of the famous Troy.* The Vicksburg and Port Hudson prisoners are filling our streets. -They are unsubdued, deter mined and defiant. 1 Gen.
