The following extract fronj a 2few York letter, received at the office of the Richmond Dispatch, gives a view of affairs somewhat different from the representations of the Northern newspapers : The Stock Exchange broken of New York, it ja .-said, are nearly all Abolitionists, and some resort to all kinds of tricks to bolster up Lincoln's insane civil war. One of these devices is, that whenever John lirown Chase wanU a new loan, they make fictitious sales, one with another, of United States bonds, at advanced prices, which never change hands. This is done to bring bidders lor the new loan at high rates. . The money spent on account of the war is recklessly wasted; everything is con ducted in a loose and extravagant manner, and sticks in fat lumps to the jalnis of Black llepubli . can jobber?, spoilsmen, camp followers and con tractors, of course all for the sake of the stars and stripes. The terrorism proclaimed by abolition mobs has .subsided somewhat, both here and in ihe North. Common sense people begin to reflect upon things, and look at what is going on in its true light, now and for the future. Nearly one-half of the so-called troops in this -fiity and I have uo doubt the same applies to the grand ilofjuent array of numbers at the North generally are '-men in buckram." About 31,000 ..are put dojvn as ready for service in this city or vicinity, when, if the truth could be fairly stated, it does not amount to more th-tn half that number. The truth is that they are short of arms, and can not supply those already calh d out. Nearly all .the regiments concentrated here and at Stater. Island arc drilling without arms. And such re cruits! They arc picked up at random, from the lowest dregs of society, composed of "Demi Rab bits," loafers and rowdies. That New York has sent some noble regiments, (aud more the pity,) composed of brave and worthy men, who have .been well drilled as volunteer regiments, including the 7th, tth, Clith, and 7 1st, cannot be denied, lint ueither these corps, nor any dispassionate citi zen, who have seen the motley bodies of raw recruits following drums and fifes through the streets, will deny this assertion. Arms are short, ana this fact is militating strongly against the jnovewents of troops agaiiist the South. The men f the South and South-west have always been in possession and nse of fire-arms This is not so at the Noith, and especially in Northern cities, where lew ur wonc possess hre-aiuis, such as rifli-s, &c.. putiide tf volunteer coruranie. The whole militia force of Ohio does not exceed 200,000 men; to call out 100,000, wtuld take every other man in the State, which is simply an impossibility. The .whole military force of New York city and State is about 300.000; to call out 100,000 would take, one man in every three, which is also impossible because, in either case, fauu and business pursuits would have to be abandoned, which would result in a famine. It is stated that Lincoln intends speedily to send two agents to Kurope to purchase steamers-of-war and arms. The South ought to pursue a similar course. Seward will not allow his instructions to Adams, hig Minister to Knglar.d, to be published. The reason is that Adams is a rank Abolitionist, and it-is said Seward's instructions are mainly based upon the Kxetcr II. ill platform. In other words, he tells him to say that the North is able to put down the South, and tlut it is against an attempt to rtahluh permanently a slave empire that the North is fighting, and that in putting down slavery at the South he appeaL to the philanthropy and humanity of Kngland for sympathy and sustenance. Whenever his instructions tec the light, it will be found that Abolition seetiouali.sm forms the staple to all the European Governments. LATE FROM EUROPE. The steamship Persia, which sailed from Liver pro! on the 11th instant, has arrived. American affairs was the prominent subject of eommcut. In the House of Commons, motions relating to belligerent rights and the recognition of the Southern Confederacy were postponed, Lord Palmerston stating that the discussion of the sub ject was untimely, as active preparations were in progress to send a powerful British squadron to .the American coast The French Chamber of Commerce has repre sented the necessity of a like measure for the protection of French vessels. Lord Derby expressed the hope, in the House of Lords, that the forth-coming proclamation by the Government will give an emphatic warning, that if British subjects join privateers, or become involved on either side, their blood will be on their own heads. lie said there would be no redress from EBgland. 1 he Liverpool Chamber of Commerce has called the attention of the French Government to the unguarded condition of the French shipping in Auii vicau waters, and urges immediate action. Lord Paluicroton deprecated the present discus sion of American affairs. The preparations at the different Xavy Yards were active, aud a powerful squadron is coming to America. The Times says that the United States hereto fore upheld privateering, and denied the right of search, both of which have now turned against her. . In the House of Commons, Lord John Russell, in referring to the rights of belligerent s.iys: "The question has been under the consideration of Governuieut. They have consulted the law officers of the crown, Attorney and Solici tor General, and the Queen's Advocate. The government have come to the opinion that the Southern Confederacy of America, accordiug to those principles which Eecm to bo just, must be treated as a belligerant." The London Times speaking of the rejection by the United States of the proposition to make pri vateering piracy b- the universal law of nations, cajs, that proposal having bceu rejected, the bclii gerants hold aociet.t right, and that comn.itsions from President Davis is us good as those from President Lincoln. uAs to the resolutions adopt ed by lhe Mew York merchants to treat piivateers from the the unrecognized South as pirates, the proposition cannot be maintained. Every jurist must bold, that co long as 31 r Pavis ia President of a Confederacy of sovereign States, he has the same right to issue letters of marque which any President of the Republic of either North or South America Iiat. It is Btated that the linen trade of the North of Ireland ra ruinously prostrated, owing to the ab seoee of orders from America, and that great dis tress exists among tha weavers in and around Bel fast in consequence The sales of cotton for the week amounted to 04,000 bales, of which speculators and exporters tofkS7,000 bales.

The Taze- well lU'iiiocrat, of the 18th, say-s: A report reached us on Thursday last, through the mail carrier, that a party of Abolitionists made their appearance in Gladesvilh, the county-seat, one day this week, and took possession of the village. A fight ensued, and a messenger was despatched to Russell for assistance. Before he left one of the ringleaders among the invaders was killed. One huiidred armed men went from llussell Wednesday. ENGAGEMENT AT SEWELL'S POINT. Norfolk, May 20. The steamer Kahukee, while attending to some errands at Boush's Bluff, about one o'clock, on Saturday, was fired at by tl e steamer Monticello, of the blockading fleet. She first fired a blank cartridge across tlie bow of the Kahukee, to warn her to lay to, which she dis regarded and ran immediately under the guns of Capt. Young's battery at Boush's Bluff. The Monticello then fired a shot, which did not take effect. Captain Young's Battery then fired one or two shots at the Monticello, one of which it is believed struck her. The Monticello then backed out, and running down to Sewell's Point, a short distance below, opened her fire, and after firing twenty or more guns she left. As there were no persons present at the place upon which she wasted so much powder and ball, of course no one was inj ured. The Monticello, accompanied by two small steamers, made another attempt to demolish the works on Sewell's Point, yesterday (Sunday) after noon, about o o'clock, but met with no better ! success than she did on the day previous; in fact, this time she caught a Tartar. The battery returned her fire with spirit and considerable effect. The Monticello was moored at only a sho.t distance from the battery, and threw shot, chain shot and shell, rapidly into it, but without doing the least injury to the fort, or any body in it; in fact, ' nobody was hurt," while on the contrary, the guns from the battery it is supposed done con siderable damage to the Monticello. Five shot sonic say six thrown from the battery, are known to hare pierced her; one striking near her bow, passed through ami through her; another striking her amidship, is supposed to hive done the same, wniie one cut away the flax-staff of one of the small steamers that had dared to venture a little nearer. The Monticello, after a little while, careened over to one side, which was caused, it is thought, by the removal of the guns, or some other weight, to one side, in order to prevent her from sinking. She then, in company with the two snr.ill steamers, hauled off and mide their way towards Fort Monroe, thinking they had got enough, and perhaps a little more than they had anticipated. It was not ascertained whether any were killed or wounded on board of the Monticello. Several were pcen to fall at the firing of one of the guns from the battery whether it was to dodge the shot, or whether they were struck by it, is not known. KicnMOND, May 20. The attack was re newed on the batteries at Sewall's Point this morning, by the steamers Monticello and Minne sota. A sharp engagement took place, resulting in the hulling of the Monticello. A private despatch received in Norfolk states that six men were killed on board the Monticello, and there were several wounded on our &ide. A7e p. m. The steamer Monticello came up again to-dav, and fired twice into our batteries at Sewell's Point. Tho batteries answered with nuns : of hcuvy calibre, and the Monticello took to her j heels. Nokfot.k, May 22. There was no attack on Sewell's Point to-day from the Yankees. It is I thought that the "dough-nuta" which pl.yed upon I the Minnesota yesterday, anil caused her to retreat, : somewhat surprised Commodore Siringhani.

Montgomery says: The most remarkable activity prevails in the War Department ; its Secretary, General Walker, performs an almost incredulous amount of labor sufficient to overwhelm an ordinary man lie is in his office from an early hour in the morning until midnight, regularly issuing orders and direct ing the movements of the military, striving to perfect their organization, consulting with officers and leaders from all portions of the Confederacy in relation to their tender of volunteers, and de ciding, with the advice of the President, upon the merits of thousands of applications for army ap pointments, who, if induced to form themselves into regiments, would constitute i division of men as brave, disciplined and enthusiastic as ever swept a field under the eagle-eye of the mighty Napoleon. Nearly one thousand applications are on file from South Carolina, and nearly as many ore said to have been already received from j v lrguna. i The rallant volunteers of the Confederate Strifes have more than filled all requisitions for twelve months troops; but the determination of the Gov ernment now is to receive troops only for the war. The Government is going to fight this controversy to the " bitter end." Twelve months may be suffi cient to convince Lincoln's ruffians that raids upon the South can have no other effect than a John Brown termination. But to make sure, the war authorities arc receiving only for the war. Large pecuniary demands are now being made upon the Treasury from that source, the requisition in one day amounting to half a million. A warrant for seven hundred thousand dollars has been recently drawn by the Navy Department for the use of J D Bullock, and charged to the appropriation made by Congress, for the probable cost of ten steam gun-boats for coast defeuces, to be built or pur chased as might be deemed most expedient. Four hundred thousand dollars of the amount was paid in bills of exchange on London, and the remainder by letter of credit on the Bank of Liverpool. Bullock is in England, the agent of the Govern ment in the matter. Democrats Rising. The Democrats have had a large ami enthusiastic meeting at Rising Sun, Iowa, at which the following resolutions were unanimously passed: Whereas, Our once h;ippy connfrv is now plunged into a civil war unnecessarily, without an effort being made on the part of lhe Executive of the United States to settle the causes of difference by peaceable compro mise, therefore Resolved. By the Democrats of Rising Sun and vicinity, that we love our country; that we hit in favor of the Union as it once existed ; that we ara opposed to any purl of our Union waging war against the other part, aud arc in favor of a peaceful compromise of our present difficulties. Rvsidved. That as lovers of our country and country men, we do not feel willing to take up arms and shed fraternal blood unless our homes are invaded. Resolved. That we will iiid and assist the party now in power to bring about a speedy aud peaceable settle ment of our difficulties. Resolved. That we are in favor of a peaceable sepa ration North and South, rather than see "our couutry drenched in fraternal blood. The Democratic Union gives the proceedings of a lrniner;ifif ivmrtimr held in t li o mni't-hmisn in i the city of Ottumwa,' Iowa, at which the following resolutions were unanimously passed : I Resolved, That we read with utter scorn and repro bation, in the Burlington Daily I-Jawkere of the 3d int., the following: "The danger is, that compromises mny be adopted, and the impending crisis postponed to the future. We must, with a voice that shall penetrate and inspire the Cabinet, insist that slavery on this conti nent receives no more protection, and is absolutely con fined to its present limits." Resolved. That while, as Democrats and patriots, we believe it to be our duty to support and maintain the (Jovcrnment in every eniergenej-; yet we want Republi can?, so-called, to distinctly understand that we will not be dragooued into the support of Abolitionism in any form. Let these patriotic Democratic meetings be held in every county, and t!-.eir proceedings be made j public that the wise friends of the Union through ! out the North, may be made acquainted with the j honest feelings and purposes of the Old Guard. j Ar. 1". Day Book. . . Lincoln Advocating Secession. On the 12th day of January, 1818, in the first session of the thirtieth congress, a certain Abe Lincoln, now president of the disunited States, uttered the speech hereunto appended. Sec Appendix Con gressional Globe, page 1)4 : "Any people, anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new ; one that suits them better. This is a most valua- ble, a most sacred right a right which, we hope ; and believe, is to liberate the world. Nor is this right confined to cases in which the whole people : of au existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people that can, may revolutionize, aud make their own use of such ter- ritory as they inhabit. More than this, a majority i of one portion of such people may revolutionize j and put down a minority intermingled with or ne I about them, who may oppose their movements. Such minority was precisely the caso of 1 lie tories of our owu revolution. It is a quality of revolu- I tions not to go by old lines, or old laws, but to break up both, aud make new ones. This is the same Abraham who is now invoking the powers of earth and hell, in the language of one of his military orators, uto wipe the South from the face of creation." Five Regiments of Negroes. Mr Sedwick, of Cornwall, has given notice to the House, that he will in a few days introduce into the Connecti cut Legislature, a bill to raise five regiments of negroes. He proposes to send them down South. We do not believe hi own party, the Republicans, will sustain this bill. Hertford (Coh.) Times.

Some planters have discarded cotton entirely and have turned their attention to the cultivation of grain." Louisiana. The Monroe Register, of the 9th inst., says: Never within the memory of man was there a nu.re promising crop than the one now growing. We have fine stand's of cotton and the season pro pitous. The corn is beautiful beyond description. As far as the eye can reach, the fields are clothed with living green, and filling the farmer's heart with gladness. Supreme Court.

Southern Illinois on the tear. -At a meeting of the prominent citizens of Williamson county, Illinois, held at Marion, on the loth of April, very strong grounds were taken against the coercive policy of the Administration. A series of resolutions were unanimously adopted, which charged that the distracted condition of the countiy had been brought about by the elevation to power of a strictly sectional party, the cot reive policy of which towards the seceded States, will drive all the border slave States from the Pederal Union and cause them to join the Southern Con federacy. In such an event it was agreed that the interest of the citizens of Southern Illinois im peratively demands at their hands a division of the State, and an Union with the Confederate States. The withdrawal of all troops of the Federal Gov- ! eminent from Southern ports, and the acknowledg ment ot the ludepeiiaence of the Confederate States, was insisted upon. The meeting protested again&t the call for volunteers to support Lincoln's aggressive policy, and determined to form military companies, and to hold themselves ready to meet any emergency that would need their services. Williamson county is not far from Cairo, and is but a short distance from the line of the Illinois Central llailroad. Such a determined resistance coming as it does from so important a locality, can not but have some influence in shaping the course of future events at the West. Foreign Ministers at Washinotojj. It is stated in the New York Herald's Washington cor respondence that President Lincoln has notified the foreign diplomatic corps that if any European power shall receive any Commissioner or Minister from the Confederate States, all intercourse with such power will be broken off, and the Minister representing it at Washington dismissed ! We understand from a gentleman (says the Petersburg Express) who recently left Washing ton, that nothing Lincoln can do will be more gratifying to the foreign ministers. Every man of them is heartily disgusted with the association they are now compelled to endure. They have been so long accustomed to associating with jren tlemen, that a release from the company of low, dirty blackguards who now fill the White House and Cabinet Departments, will be hailed with tlie most estactic delight. We can very readily ap preciate the painful position now occupied by the foreign diplomatic corps. The American Tract Society. The anni versary of this Institution was held on Wednesday of last week. The officers were re-elected. After the usual routine of business was transac ted, the members formed themselves into a mass meeting to glorify the war. It wa a disgusting and disgraceful spectacle. One speaker maintained that the war is necessary and right, and that the apostle of war is now preferable to the apostle of peace. Another declared that the northern soldiers "had felt the breath of God upon thsm and had gone forth to battle in obedience to a call as grand and solemn as ever called a martyr to the stake or forced a saint to his knees." A resolution was offered by the same speaker (Prof. Hitchcock of Uuion, N. . Seminary) and adopted, appropriating 610,000 to provide tracts for the Northern soldiers. This was a very commendable proceeding, but as the funds were contributed by the South as well i 1, v.,.i. : l.l 1 l t . : iiiu iiuiui, ii mouiu nave oecu simple jusiice to divide the appropriation between the soldiers from both eectior s.

These estimates and requi sitions will call for the funds and property probably necessary for enlisting and equipping the regiments respectively. In ease of subsequent deficiency, special estimates and requisitions will be made as early as possible. 4. Recruiting officers will explain the nature of the service, length of term, pay, clothing, rations and other allowances to which a soldier is entitled by law, to every man before he enlists. 5. Recruiting officers may insert, in not exceeding two newspapers, brief notices directing attention to the rendezvous for further information. d.

I. Two boys over twelve years of age will be enlisted for each company as musicians. 8. After the natnre ot the service and terms of enlist ment have been fairly explained to the recruit, he will be duly examined by the recruiting officer and surgeon, if ne be present. 9. If the recruit is accepted, the oath contained in the form of enlistment, will be administered to him ns soon as practicable, after allowing him time for proper deliberation. 0. The oath may be administered by a justice of the peace, the chief magistrate of any town or city corpo rate, or a notary public. II. A physician may be employed, when no medical officer of the army is conveniently near, to examine re cruits and attend and furnish medicines to the recruit ing party and recruits at a rate of compensation "not exceeding iwenty-five cents per man for examining re cruits and fifteen dollars per month for attending the rendezvous. 12. Enlistments will be taken in duplicate. The re v . : 1. 1 1 - ot cruiting officer will send the first copy to the colonel of the regiment with his monthly return. The secoud he will retain and deliver to the colonel when the com pany has bepii mustered into service. 13. The instruction of recruits slnill commence at the rendezvous immediately upon their enlistment. 14. Colonels will make requisition on the Adjutant General for the following blanks, and furnish them to recruiting officers viz : Enlistments Mwnthly Recruit ing Accounts, Tri-Monthly Reports, Posters or fland Dills, Blank Vouchers.

Recruiting officers will send to their colonels on the 10!h, 20th and last day of the month, the tri monthly report, and on the last day of the month,. the monthly recruiting account, filled up from the printed blanks, with one cop- of each enlistment made during the month. These papers after being revised and ap proved by thexolom ls will be forwarded to tlicAdjutanJ, General. 16. Recruiting officers will procure beard and lodg ing for their recruits at the lowest practicable price, not exceeding 40 cents per man, per day, and will pur chase fuel, stationery and other things absolutely ne cessary and take the requisite vouchers. 17. As soon a.? a company is recruited to the number of sixty-four privates, with the required complement of no n -commissioned officers, the senior company officer re cruiting will report the fact to the Adjutant-General of the State Troops at Raleigh, through the colonel of the regiment, when an officer will be detailed to make a final inspection of the company, and should he find it to contain the requisite number of suitable men, to muster it into the service. 18. The pay of every man who shall successfully pass this inspection, and be mustered into the service, will commence from the date of his enlistment.
