The Jonrial of Commerce is one of the best examples of this In a mte issue it cites from Lincoln’s Inaugural the fol lowii^ passage: — •‘.Siippose you go to war, you cannot fight always, and when, after much loss on both aides, and no gain on either, you cease fighting, the identical questions as !• the terms of intercourse are again upon you.” Tlie truth of this cannot be questioned. Yet Lincoln and his advisers and party ignore the fact of Lincoln's having uttered sucli a sentiment. The Journal recalls it to their minds, though it admits but little hope o*' seeing it acted on as long as it is obstinately determined to have a union of the whole 34 States, it argues wise ly, that there is now no such union, and that there never will be if a war is prosecuted to make separation permanent and full of hate. The Journal might have gone further and said that there never will be such a union again, with or without war. The time is past for that. "I'he N. V. Dail}' News is another of these plain speak ing papers. It attirms that “every day renders it more unquestionable that an immense reaction has taken place within the last few weeks, in favor of peace.” It speaks of “the /xtnir created by the ajf'air at Bethel," as ‘-showing with w hat anxiety and dread they look forward to the developments of each day.’’ It says the industrial classes, the merchac.ts, tradasmca, manufac turers and mechanics, “have become fearful.y aware that impoverishment and national ruin are staring them in the face.” It “has no hesitation in saying, that, if a mass meeting could be convened in New York to-mor row. of all who are really in favor of immediate peace, even at the cost of the acknowledgement of the inde pendence of the Confederate States, it would outnumher the monster union manifestation of seven weeks ago, and be characterized by an earnestness and sitfcerity that were wanting on that occasion.” This is plain language: and the News winds up with the followiug: — “Such earnest advocates of brute forces as the Phila delphia North .\merican are compelled to admit that, although “we have been tor a month and a half pre paring for war with an energy never known before, we are still in no condition to prosecute hostilities as re quired by the nature of the occasion.” The Herald, the Times, and the Tribune have found that the uncon stitutional army is either insufBi'ieut in numbers, badly othceri d. or the Confederate force in Virginia loo pow erful to cope with: and they give a gloomy picture of (he prospect before us. The North have 100,000 troops already in the field: and 20U,U0U more are believed to be indispensable for the accomplishment of the objects laid down by President Lincoln's proclamation of the I 'tth of April. The expenses of Government are over ■r'Ju.OOO.tKtO a month, and in thn"^ 'eeks they will be members of the Alexandria Kitlemen to tlieir parents in this city, but, outside of lliese reports, there is not to be found, after the most diligent inquiry, a particle of evitlence to credit them. Military men are entirely ignorant of any such occurrence, hut they are gener ally credited by Secession citizens here. From VorktuKJi.—A forward movement of troops if^ reported. The Petersburg Kxpress learns that “JOOC iiad be«n ordered to move at an early hour on Thursday last, producing quite an excitement. But a letter of that day to the Richmond Examiner, from Yorktown, stateh that it was an order for two detachments of howil2er^ and Louisianains, one to rel’eve a party which had been out several days, and the other to take post at the junc tion of the Hampton and Wai wick I'oads, to which it it said the yankees mean to advance for an attack on Yorktown. The letter says there is but littl** sickness, taking everything into consideration.

Federal outra(/iK ,it Fortrr^n }I nroi. — It was but a few ilays ago that the Nati)nal Intelligencer spoke in glow ing terms of the proclamation of (.ion. >Icl>owell, advis ing the Federal troops to respect private property. In cidentally, the Intelligencer spoke in terms iff guarded approval of the conduct of the troops thus far. We clip the following extract from the Fortress Monroe corres pondence of the New ^'ork Tribune as an evidence ol the atrocious manner in which the troops really do be- liave: "The outrages committed by our soldiers on the pro perty, and not nnfrequently on the prrsonn ahn, of Vir ginians, conceived to be Secessionists, are a disgrace to our army. A. proper degree of discipline would insure the shooting of platoons of scoundrels, not all privates, who seem to have imbibeil the idea that they came here to pillage and destroy.

Gen. l^illow’ has received, from an official source, and in such a manner as makes it perfect ly reliable, information that a bearer of denpatehes has arrived from the (^nfederate Ministers in Europe, with advices that England and France have determined to protect their commerce on the western continei\t, and that, to ensure its safety, each ol the (iovornments have ordered twenty additional ships Iruin their respective na vies, to reinfotce their stjuadrons in the Southern waters. Another important point of information is, that negotiations for a loan had so far progressed a? to have secured projiositions fmm difl'erent parties and powers, to the amount of two hundred mil lions of dollars, upon the security oft'ered by the prospective cotton crop, or that portion of it which will come into the hands of the Confederate au thorities, through the confidence of the Southern people in their government. * The same dispatches al.o c(mve}’ed the gratify ing intelligence that thf!-(’onfederacy will he re- Icognized iti a short time hy tlie great Kuropean Powers; that the blockako of the Southern ports can be only of short duration, and that the season when our great staples are prepared for market will see us in free eornmorf;ial intercourse with all the world, with the single e.xcejition of our perse cutors at the North. We make these statements with the utmost confidence in their truthfulness—the intelligence having retiched the commanding General at this point by express messenger from the bearer of European dispatches, who passed to Richmond on .'saturdaj' night. State Troops.—The State regiments to be raised under the ten regiment bill of the Legisla ture, seem to fill up very slowly. Col. Tew’s regiment is said to be the only one full. Col. Fisher’s regiment is nearly completed. Col. Mc Rae’s is half full, and there are several compa nies each in the regiments to be commanded by Cols. Stokes, Meares, and Anderson. Our Vohmtee.r&.—We have been struck with the fact, that the North Carolina N^olunteers have in the main made most capital selections for their company officers, and so far, the selection of field officers has been admirable. In no instance, we believe, have the company officers elected a man (Colonel of a He^^jment, who had not received a military education or who was not qualified by experience for the post.—Rat. Slandanl. Fifth lit'ijiin^nt.—We learn that the followiug officers have been elected for this regiment: Wm. E. Cannady, of'Granville, Colonel; Capt. fhrie. ol the (,’hatham Guards, Lieutenant Colonel; , .Major; and Lieut. Manning, Adjutant.

Sixteen cents per pouiid is paiil for l ee!: ;?17 a-piece for old muskets that were sold by the State a few years ago for about 2-'> ceiits each The blankets furnished are only half blankets, and of the woist jiossible material, and the mess pork cannot be eaten.

V. Tribune gives a long account of the march of the officers and crew of this captured privateer, I'i iu number, up Broadway to the Tombs. They were hand-cuffed in pairs, and of course drew a crowd, as they were marched ‘•straight to their doom," so the Tribune says. They were to he imi'ediately presented for trial: and we infer, from the blood thirsty spirit of the Tribune, that Lincoln had al rei^Jy ordered them to be hanged as “pirate.s.” If so, we may hear soon of scaffolds for 20 yankees. Liscoi.n's Ge.nerals and Coloxel.s.—These are a nice set, as was shown by an account of some of them which we published last week. It is said that some of the army officers are very sore about such appointments, and that some of them may resign; while the boys who have just graduated at West Point are laughing over their blunders. A Washington letter to the Springfield Republican says,— ••1 overheard a newly elected colonel crying out to one of the companies under his charge, “Where in thun der are you going? Go back to where you were—right buck ot the other company.’' There was a quiet smile resting on many a face among the spectators present.” Vaxkee Teachers.—A Norfolk letter says, that the Ust yankee teacher, Miss Herbert, has left that place for the North.

Ojjicial Vote of 'Tennessee.—Nashville, June 21.— The official vote of Tennesse** gives a majority lor se paration of bl,17o. The vote was the largest ever polled. Deki' River Coal. —The W'ilmington Journal states that the Wilmington & Manchester railroad charges $3 per ton lor conveying coal from Wilmington to Flo rence, (1U7 miles we believe.) The Charleston coal dealer who was here is satisfied with the ratea of trans portation from Deep river to Fayetteville, and from Fayetteville to Wilmington; but the rates from Wilming ton to Charleston are said to amount to a prohibition. The rate from .Vtlanta, Georgia, to Charleston, (308 miles,) is and from Chattanooga, Tenn., to Charles ton (44ti miles,) S'G. A Hari> Cask.—The Wilmington Journal is that. It again misrepresents the composition of the First giment of North Carolina Volunteers. Just after battle of Bethel it published a list of eight companies which it said were in the regiment, with two blank lines repreuenting two Fayetteville companies. Of its eight enumerated companies the Journal had but four correct, its other four never having been at Yorktown or Bethel. Anxious to set the Journal right and do justice to the real heroes of that battle, we published a correct list of the ten companies. This, the Journal lliought proper not to publish, leaving its readers still under the mistake into which it had led them. But on Wednesday last it copied another incorrect list, which substitutes the Uandlesburg Rifles, which is not in the regiment at all, tor the Fayetteville independent Com pany, which ia in it, and incorrectly classifies nearly every company. All this is queer. What does it mean? Company F, 3d Regiment of State Troops, Capt. W. M. Parsley, 86 in all, left Wilmington on Saturday for Garysbury. At New York, on the 25th, 700 balea of cotton were f4cl »t 14^ to 14|. carried back to Fort .McHenry. He was on his way to Virginia, when a detachment of !!!«• yankees was sent to arrest him. It is said that he is universally popular in Baltimore, and his arrest will help t he Southern cause. Gen. Banks has kindly appointed a marshal for the city, in the person of John R. Kenly. Washi.noto.v. June J'). — Letters j>er steamer .\frica say that large uunibers of privateers are titling out for the Confederate s.-rviee, and some have .already left. Washington.

That the Presiileni's message, al the opening of the extra session of Coi;gress, will recommend any compro mise having for its objcct the reconciliation of those now in arms against the Federal Government, no one at all acquainted with the views of the administration be lieves. On the contrary, it will dout)tless be found thtit the course already initiated will be firmly inaintaine'l, in consonance with the inaugural addres»: arnl on this, t>3 on all other subjects, the administration is “one, un divided, and undivisible. ’ St. Loiis, June 2'>th. — fight is reported to have occurred at Camp (,'ole, between the I'nionists undei Col. Cook and the Missourians. Twenty-three L'nion- ists were killed. There were 10(H) Federalists at Booneville. Arkansas troops are coming to the assistance of Mis souri. St. Louis.—gentleman from St. Louis informs the Memphis -Appeal that there was a perfect reign of terror in St. Louis—business being alnio.si entirely suspended, and at least 75,tK)0 people liaving left the city. Many outrages upon property are perpetrated and personal indignities suffered. Marvla si>. — In the Legislature, the majority of the committee, to whom ere referred the message of the Governor, in answer to the call of the Senate for a state ment of facts which induced him to reclaim the arms of the military companies, and deposit them in Fort .McHen ry, made a report, declaring the acts of the Governor pal pable u!*urpaiious of authority, and that it was the duty of the Legislature to make a liirect issue witii him on tlie subject. They al«o submitted a resolution that the Governor ouglit to return these arms to the companies There was a minority report. The majority report was adopted by a vote of 12 yeas, .'j nays. Maryland will be all right. Reaction in Fhiladeljdiia.—PurLADKLi’HiA, June 20. —Everything here looks bad. Tlie streets begin to look somewhat deserted. There have been from lo,000 to 10,000 men already gone from the city. The Demo crats at least 75 or bO per cent of the number. If they had not gone to the rescue of the Government, bincoln would have been chased out of Washington at the points of Southern bayonets long ago. Tlie Wide- .\wakes, those who flourished around the streets with equipments and torches, and were going to swim in Southern blood, have joined the “Home Guardi" There it a reaction coinmenciny here in favor of peace. Whether it will amount to anything, Heaven only knows, but 1 sincerely hope that it will. Washington, June 25.—There is a sentiment per vading here among Northern visitors, which temis strongly towards a compromise. lUu all is vague. Still it is the feeling, and one which 1 believe, trom common rumor. President Lincoln himself cherishes. A confirmation, in part, of it is loiind in the course of Gen. Scott, who while he is carefully guarding every point, is pot disposed to strike a blow till Congress meets. Democratic KdiUtr^' Concention.—The New York Tribune ot the 21.st says:— “The Democratic editors of itiis Slate are summoneil to meet in this city on Thursday of next week. We be lieve thii call is dictated by party magnates who have entered into a secret understanding with emissaries from the rebel chief to crowd the government into a discredi table peace, and that the co-operation of the country press is needed to give effect to the arrangement. How docile the subjects may prove we shall see hereafter.” Alarm at Washington.—We infer from the Northern telegrams that old Scott was very much alarmed by the evacuation of Harper’s Ferry. He had sent large foree.s Irorn Washington to co-operate with Patterson against that place, but recalled them as soon, as he heard of the evacua tion. On the 17th of June, these troops made a forced march of 83 miles, on their return to Washington. The celerity of the march indicates the uneasiness ot the authorities, to whose assist ance the fort'os were going. H so small a matter as Johnston’s retreat sends terror through the Capitol, we fear old Scott’s nerves are not ia a condition to stand heavy can- river, ;ihliout>;li it is on Jutiies river; \)Ut the lat ter stream is narrow and tortuou.s a little below, and dilficult of navigation, 'j'he Y^ork river, on the contrary, i.s a deep, broad .stream. On this side, then, Hf'teeii or sixteen heavy batteries, mounted with rifled cannon and Colutnbiads have been erected at interval.s down its banks.

Hut individual loss is nothing. We must all make up our minds to endure any and all things to defeat the common eneniy. Richmond The Thirteenth if June.—A patriotic and in telligent correspondent calls attention to the re markable fact that the day recently set apart for fasting, huuiiliation and prayer, was the natal day of (ten Scott, he having been born on the 18th ot June, 17''0. He asks if it was so ordered by de sign that the national observance alluded to should take place on that day, or was it accidental^' It was entirely accident:'! and therefore what he terms “Providential.'’ In that case, he suggests that it is “ominous for (ren. Scott, and his party.” The fact, if he has been reminded of it, no doubt startled the commander of Lincoln’s myrmidons, and caused the pay for which he has sold his mother Virginia, to burn his hands, as did the thirty pieces tho.se ot Judas Iscariot. Ri hniond Dispatch.

A steamer sailed from Boston for Europe soon after the despatch reached that city with the false news.
