Unnkokssart Bittkrnkss.—It seems to us that there
is uo occasion for any unkinJueiis or abuse, not to say
bilterness, in the cuntest for Governor of this State. Yet
there is manifested on both sides a jfood deal of the
worst tehiper about it; and one paper arraigns Col.
\ anoe as “the orjjan of a rigidly proscriptive party,”
simply because one of his friends is accused of having
exhibited a proscriptive tendency. To show that thi.s
is unjuHl and wrong, it is only aecessary to cite what a
pajier friendly to t’ol Johnston says, as follows:—
“Weiihall expect soon to hear that the Standard’s
ally Ht Newbern Lad nominated Col. Vance, ami that
Uurnside’s soUlier.s will vote for hiiu, iu consideration
of the important services which the Standard is render
ing to the Northern government in dividing the people
of North t’arolina, and waging party warfare, at a time
when they should be uuitcd in defending the soil against
a hateful enetiiy.”
Can any thing beat that in the way of intolerance and
injustice'' A gallant gentletuan abandons a high posi
tion at home, goes into the tield and exposes himself
to the dangers of capture or death by yankee hands,
and the people are coolly told to expect the yankees to
nominate and vote for him for Gi)vernor! And this, not
becau'^e of any thing that he has said or done, bul on
aocouiil of what another has said. “Let every tub stand
on its own bottom." If Ool. Vance has said or done
aught that is wrong or tinp,i,,friotic, let him sutler the
penalty; but lay not to his charge the sayings of other
people, good or bad. The (Jreeiisborough I’atriot puts
this in a strong light as follows:
“t'ol. Vance is declared Holden’s cmididale; some
article or articles in HoMen’s paper are copied and
commented uj>on by a Yankee paper, published at New-
iH'rn, called the I’rogress CouHenuently Holden is an
abolitionist, and us Holden is for Vance, he, Vauce,
must be an abolitionist also, and wanting in loyalty to
Ihe Confederacy. Here is Ihe juggling that tends to do
harm, that ought to be scornel and put down.
‘•It ^\,e recollect correct4y this same lying Yankee
paper siiid some time ago. in substauce, that Governor
Clark ready und disposed to have North Carolina
return to the old L aion. and so were at least half the

IMPORT.A.NT NEWS FROM EUROPE!
The Enquirer and Examiner this morning have most
important foreign news, received late on Friday night in
the N. Y. Herald and Philadelphia Inquirer of the 25th.
We copy all that they reprint;—
From the New Y'ork Herald, l!5th instant.
EUROPEAN INTERVENTION IN THE I’. STATES.
The intelligence from Europe by the Arabia. puVilished
by telegraph from Halifax in our columns to day. is of
the highest iuijiortance. It foresli!i,dows the iutcniion
of the Emperor of the French, in co operation with Eng
land, to interpose by an armed intervention in iheAoier
ican war, iu order to put a stop to it and to enforce peace
on the basis of a separation between the Nonh and the
South. Taken in connection with the visit of Count Per
signy to Loudon, with an article iu the Paris Constitii-
tiounel, with the tone of the English press and Parlia
ment, and with the fact of the invasion of Mexico, for
Ihe avowed purpose of changing its institutions and sub-
verl'ng its present poveiumeni, Ihe new's is of a most
starii.i'g character The* .ame pretence set forth in ihe
Spanish Corle* by Calderon l'’ollatifes for intervention
in Mexico- -namely, to “prevent a fratricidal war”—is
held 0.-1 to the ear of humsnity and civili/.atiou for in
tervention in the C. S. But cotton and tobacco, anl
hostility to free institutions, are at the bottom of British
and French philanthropy. The l.oudon Times, of the
ll*h inst. raves about promised cotton, and lakes no
comfort in our capture of New Orleans. Their ruineil
commerce and manufactures, and the revolutionary ten
dency of iheir own population in l onsequence of pro
longed distress, are the real incentives to the action of
the powers of Western Europe, and not any syrupathy
for the sutlorings of humanity iu the New Worl«l
The English journals and the English nobility in both
houses of Parliament atleci to be greatly shocked at the
courso of Gen. Butler in New Orleans. Lord Paluisr-
sion. in the House of Commons, stigniatires it as ••in
famous,’’ and such that an Englishman should blush
W the Anglo-Saxon race. Earl Rnsscll lU the same ;
night denounces if in the House of Lords, while Farl ;
Carnarvon ssys “it is without a precedent in the annals !
of war." [The Herald here cites numerous cases of!
I’ritish oriielt} in former Wars. )
The real meaning of the mock humanity of Palmer- !
Stoll. Russell and the other liritish stale^nien is. that I
they desire to inflame the puMic mind of Kiigland .mi I I
all Eurojie against the C. S , and to prepare the v ay |
for that intervention which Ear' Kiissell intimates is j
only a question of time on the part of the British t.Jov- j
enimenl. The London Post, its organ, says, “the dif- i

The London Post of June 11 denounces, in the strong

thinks the goveinment is bound to recall (len. F>utler

of Butler's, says the Post, if not promptly disavowed,
would soon turn the scale, finnlly and decisively, in
favor of the Oinfederate cau«e.
The Paris correspondent of the Daily •■News’’ .says it
is affirmed that France has determined lo ask England
to join in mediation, which would bo refused just at

Other correspondents (says the Enquirer) speak as
if France was already assured of Ihe co-operation of
England in her schemes for infervenfi«n. it says that
after two dissusgions in the F'rench ministerial councils,
one of which was held yesterday, within a few hours
of Ihe Emperor’s departure for Fontainbleau, mediation
was resolved upon, and Ihat siniuUaneous propositions
shoubl be made by England and Fi ance at Richmond

by the North or South, the two powers will impose peace

THE BATTLE AT RICHMOND
Jn the preceding pag»» are as full details as have reach
ed ug of the fight near Richmond on Wednesday aiid
Thursday. We annex such reports as the latest Rich
mond papers bring us of the fighting since. God be
thanked, the tide of siiccess yet runs unchecked in our
favor!
Ru'H-mond, June’-fj.—W'e are without the information
we expected this morning of operations yesterday. The
authorities exclude all reporters and afiord no intelli
gence to the press. VS'e only know that Ihe fight was
resumed tiefore day on the other side of the Chickahom-
iny, near Mechanic«ville, and that by night the enemy
had been driven southward down the Chickahoniiny a
distance of H or 4 miles The firing whenever they stood
their grouuii was he.ivy. but this generally was not for
long periods. Their falling back was for the most part
orderly, and they succeeded in getting off most of their
artillery as well as the greater part of their dea«l and
wounded. Some tj or 8 pieces of artillery were wrested
from them, and Ihe usual amount of small arms, knap
sacks, overcoats, &c., were found strewn along the line
of Iheir retreat.
Our forces engaged yesterday were divisions under
the command of Stonewall Jackson, Longstreet. and the
two Hills. The casualties are not believed to be heavy,
though quite a uumber of wounded have been brought
to this city. To-day will probably witness a general and
decisive battle. We have no fear of Ihe result —
The splendid contest of Thursilay afternoon, which
resulted in the wresting, by Gen A. P. Hill's division,
of .Nlechanicsville, though without decisive results, ex
cept the possessing of ilie place, served to nttract Ihe
ai tent ion of McClt'llan from a movement in his rear
which overwhelmed him.
.\t 'J 0 clock yesterday morning the grand coup dr
'•turn of Gen T .1 Jackson was accnmplished With
his army, which failed to get into position the previous
evening, he, fresh from the fields of exploits in Ihe Val
ley, came down the (Jhickahominy on the right flank of
McClellan's army, to Coal Harbor, in the enemy's rear,
and put his front upon it ai Old (.Church. The enemy
had fallen back still further duritig the night, and Hill's
and Longstreel’s divisions pressed him in front and left
flunk early j'esterdii}’ morning. Thus, by a strategy un
paralleled for its brilliancy, was McClellan circuuivant-
ed. Pp to this writing we have no accounts of tho bat
tle that has been progressing that would justify particu
lars, l)iit .Mcl?lellan and hi« main army was reported re
treating down the ('hickahominy. bearing off fromStone-
wall's guns in the direction of West Point, wh«re the
gunboats were lyinar ready to cover him.
It was ti o’clock wh(‘n Ihe enemy gave way, leaving
their last breastwork battery of 1'^ guns, which was
Iheir besi, mounting heavy siege guns. Mc(’Iellan re
tired, burning up his stores at the depots of his lines.
Tho retreat and the pursuit of the Confederate army,
has moved our base of iiiformalion concerning the fight,
which, we le:irn. was kejit up at intervals with great se
verity; but, through the kindness of an officer from our
lines, we have been supplied with a very intelligent
pencil di;i!rram, furnishing the positions of the retreat
ing aul pursuing forces.

^onjiblerably this side of the Pamunkey for a frussel

To Hif Excellency I'reaiderU Davis:—Mr. President—
Profoundly grateful to Almighty God for the signal
victory granted to us, it is my pleasing task to announce
to you the success achieved by this army to-day. The
enemy was this morning driven from his strong positions
behind Beaver Dam Creek, pursued to that behind Po-
hile Creek, and finally, after a severe contest, of four
hours, entirely repulsed from tho battle-field. Night
put ati enil to flie contest. I grieve to state that our
loss in officers and men is great. We sleep on the field
and shall renew the contest in the morning.
1 have the honor to be, very respectfully,

was obligt'd to leave the field in consequence of having
had his ripht arm sltfiitered by a Minie ball, that at the
time he left the field IIill's division, which had been en
gaged tile whole day, and victorious throughout, was

and were overmatched by large masses of the enemy.
Just as the M.ajor was wounded several large bodies of
lr.)ops were appearing on ihe field, which were sup
posed lo be reinforcements under Jackson.
Later accounts brought fr«m the fieM of i
deeply iuierostiiig. 'T'"* reinforces were troops of
I, ni'sireet'.'t -»'• O,-.. Jackson was engaged on
G^u^ ij'fi's left during Ihe day, but was also in time to
join tho general engagement which ensued about five
o’clock in the evening.
.\i this hour the action became general for the first
time oil the Richmond lines. No such collision of num
bers has yet occiirrt d in Ihe history of the war. It is
esiimtited that seveniy-five thousand (’onfederate troops
were eng ige.I with an equal, if not superior, force of
the enemy. The scenery of the battle field is described
as awfully sublime, and its sights of carnage as exceed
ing in gluixtliness ih** worst imaginations of the horrors
(if war.
Nightfall hae caused an intermission of the terrible
conflict. From the best and most reliable information
we can obtain the held was umlecined, when the ac
lion was intermitteij to be resumed this morning
I’he field .if tho imposing battle, on which Ihe grand
est fortunes ever contested await decision, is about
twelve miles from ;he city of Rich'uond.
The enemy's retreat was certainlj’ not n rout, «s it
lias been described on the street corners. He loft his
grfiuiul at leisure, carrying off all his ilead and wound-
e.l, leaviiifi; tio marks of disorder on the rcnite of his re
treat bul such as »re incidental, of eonrse, to the niove-
menis of large masses.
There is occasion to apprehend thal Mcl'^lellsn, in
faliiiig b.ick on his jiresent line of defence, lias improv
ed his posiiion. The advantages of his present position
arc inainl^' artificial, but they are considered important
aud serious, although he gave up yesterday several
positions of great natural advantage, especially that at
Mechatiicsville, upon which he had expended every re
source to luake it impregnable.
ll is imjiossible to estimate the loss in yesterday's
eng.igement. The only sialeuients we can get of Ihe
caHiiuliies of the terrific-battle of the evening are vague
and ghastly messages that “the ground is covered with
le:id.” The spirits of our troops are undiminished.
There was uo straggling but from excessive fatigue.
The issue, which is yet undecided, is solemnly entrust

The great battle raged with scarcely any intermission
up to 4.^ o’clock Saturday, since which tiaie McClellan
has otl'ered us no regular front of battle.
We have driven the enemy 11 miles, taking fortifica

bayonet. Several thousand prisoners reached Richmond

and Rankin, and over HM) commissioned officers.
Yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock tiens. Jackson, Hill
