The Dentil of Yancey.
The Confederate Senate has lost its most brilliant
ornament. William L. Yancey is dead, and has
not left bis peer i/1 parliamentary oratory. The
style and manner of Yancey was so far superior to
tbe loose, gaudy aud extravagant rhetoric which
is common throughout America, that those wbo
listened for the first time to the hautboy tones of
hie delightful voice, and considered tbe elegant
precision of his diction, perfect order of argument
tho ease of thought and expression with wliich be
analyzed every subject, and assembled jti
nod principles into plaWurt* sMsoosrse, wore

Iu the August number oftbe English Magazine
called London Society, is a pleasaut series of sketches entitled "Recollection of Al mack's," in which
occurs the following picture of Louis Napoleon iu
lhe character of an exile;
'In yonder cornel of lbe tea-room, in shadow,
stands a short dark complexioued man, whose eyes
are scarcely ever raided from the ground to rest
even upon lhe fairest faces ; yet he is one wbo, in
tbat drear yet impassioned jouth of disappointment and difficulty, ardently admires beauty. No
one would suspect it. Itis tiue the hair on that
staight brow is Btill brown, and thiok, aud glossy;
and he who has paased'through a lifetime of ad--
ventures is tbi:-* scarcely thirty ; yet youth was
hardly even then oue of bis attributes. His small,
narrow, grey eyes, have- none of its vivacity ; his
cheek, embrowned, uot pale, none of its freshness.
He stoops some what, and a heavy look of cure
depresses his physiognomy. Yet is it care? or is
t policy that wears such an aspect of apathy,
and that, indicates to the superficial observer such
au absence ol intelligence?
"Believe me, in that man—the brightest intellec'
of his time jo a throne—lbe vast powers cf hi*
great intelligence are veiled by a coverture of in -
difference, lie is playing a part. No oue suspects
the bidden fire, that scarcely ever fumes in the
presence of observers. By that, man of silence and
reserve, great designs ara cherished, great wrongs
are remembered—hopes never abandoned art,
mothered, and for these the musk is worn. Be-
eatb it is a moral volcano, 1 watched him dan-Dig, lie who leads cut in that sa/le des AJare-
chaux the fair Spanish girl—that night when by
placing on ber band a wliile flower, he announced
toller his imperial destiny—dances advisedly. On

as you will —of that terrible duodecimo, "Les Clia*

iiy, but not gracefully, and Btill tha Face is lowered; the eyes are never raised lo those of his partner;
! he dances as a mau who has been taught, bnt lo
dancing does uot come naturally. I have
susa him dace since,. Now, the step is more measured still—performed almost with difficulty; yet
it was never like tbe step of a young dancer, even
when lhe dancer was in bis prime.
'■ 'It is lhe Prince Louis Nap deon,' I observed
to a friend by my side. 'I saw him tbe other day

Skcichof Agustin an Iturbide, First Emperor
of mAico.
This extraordinary naan, the first, and lo the
present tiray, only Empetor of Mexico, was born
in Vallodoiid de Michoacan in the year 1784,
though some say*in 1790, and was executed at
Padilla ou the 19th of July, 1824. He was the sou
oi a native of Pampeluna, in Spain, who had eel-
tied in Mi'xico. At an early age he entered tha
militia of his province, and served without pay,
He became u lieutenant in tbe regular army in
1810, wheu his regiment was in active service
against his insurgent countrymen. His activity
and aid in suppressing the Morales insurrection
led to his promotions*!. In the same year the revolution, projected by, Don Miguel Hidalgo, eartrw
ot Dolores, broke out, aud Iturbide, having been
tendered the rank of lieutenant by tbe insurgents.
absolutely refused it. On the contrary, he used
ali his effurte to subdue the comainiion, and in reward was made commander of Guaaajaata and
Vailed olid, as well as of the army ol the North.
About this time the royalists accused bim ol want
of fidelity to tbe cause in.which tlie army was engaged, lie was, however, acquitted of ihe charge,
hut, being disgusted, withdrew to his plantation.
He afterwards engaged in a plan for the emancipation of Mexico from the yoke oi Spain, the freedom oi the country, aud the extension of freedom
to all classes of people. This was known as the
"Iguala plan." Tbis plan was entirely successful,
'■Without bloodshed, coi*fi*gratious, robberies, or
depredations,'' writes Iturbide himself, in his political life—"nay, without even a mislortune, a
single sigh, or a tear, my country was rendered
happy, and from a colony transformed to a great
and glorious empire/* Iturbide'e generosity led
many to suppose that he was iu league with the
Union troops. He advanced to Qneretaro, and
was soon joined by Gnadaioupe Vicloria, the most
devoted of lhe friends of liberty. Meantime the
Viceroy General, Juan O'Doroja, (or, in Irish,
John O'Donohue,) arrived from Spain, and, finding the whole county virtually with Iturbide, con-
eluded a treaty with bim at Cordova, on the 24th
ol August, 1821, in conformity with tbe plan ol
[gual'i, and the drafts were instantly forwarded to
Ferdinand VII. Tbe treaty of Ordova opened
the gates olthe Capital, as well as the road to power,
to Iturbide. On thK 27th of Se-jtem-dtr be eutered
lbe city of Mexico, and on the same day tbe form
ot government alluded to in lbe I^uala plan was
formed, and he entered on hia official duties.
The new Assembly began to exercise its functions, when Iturbide found that he bad divested
himself o** certain powers wihout wbich be could
not control it. Then it was tbat he tyw, as he
eays, "the amount of the sa riflces" he had made
Tbe Republicau party soon discovered the object
he had in view, and the Congress made several attempts to check or diminish bis power. Two parlies now arose which were afterwards known as
Republicans and Bourbonists, both ol tbem being
opposed to Iturbide. The effect of?-1 tbis war of
parties was the exhaustion ol the public treasuries,
and nothing was left to pay the army or the public functionaries. There waa no established system
for Iho public finances. Tbe administration ol
justice wae abandoned, the tribunals were of no
effect, and yet Congress did not interfere. In a
word, the country required aid in every respect,
but the uew Legislature did nothing efficient tor the
uew "Empire. About April, 1822, symptoms of
Rppronehiii(r anarchy became apparent. Cotitrn-ss
dismissed three of the four regeuta and declared
tbat the command of the army was incompatible
with the duties of a memb-ir of tbe executive pow
er. This was a direct blow at Iturbide, but the
eommander-iu-chief, having bayonets at his disposal, kept lhe Cuiigress in check. On the night
°l the 18tb of May, the people and garrison of
Mexico simultant'ovtsly—us if by common consent
—proclaimed him Kmperor, '-Long live Agustin
the First," was the general shout, says the Emperor, "which astonished and appalled me." Iturbide
drew up a proclamation, whicb was circulated
the following morning, pointing out lbe necessity
orconvening the regency, tbe army and all tbe
authorities. The regency and army gave in tbeir
adhesion, and ip the Congress Ituibide received
seventy four Votes out of ninety-luur. Shortly
after, the Congress declarevl tbe crown hereditary
in the family of Iturbide, gave lo his sons aud
father the title of princes, settled upon him an
annual grant of one million five hundred thousand
dollars, and established au order oi knighthood,
called tbe Order ot Guadeloupe. But tbe Emperor was not long able to maintain his amhorily
against public mistrust and Lbe conflicting claims
ol rival chiefs. On tbe 26th of August he caused
a number of the deputies to be arrested for plott-
iDg against iiii government. A quarrel with tbe
Congress was tbe resuit. aud be dissolved that body, appointing a junta ot forty-five meo in ils
place. He then lurned hia attention to the castle
of San Juan de Ulloa, tbe ouly point still occupied
by the Spaniards, General Santa Anna being then
in command of Vera Cruz. On attempting to remove lhat officer from his command he became
excited, aroused the people, and proclaimed a Republic. He was, however, unsuccessful in his attempts. Di'ti.'Ction soon became general throughout M ex ice; the army deserted the Emperor,
as wel! as the people, and bo therefore tendered
his resignation of the crown in the city of Mexico
on the 20th o*f March, 1823. At tlie same time be
lequesled permission to leave the country, wbicb
was granted him, together with a yearly pension
of twenty-five thousand dollars, A stipulation
was connected with ibis pension, that he should
forever reside abroad, and. iu case ef his death
provision was made for hie family. He went dowu
io tbe coast, mm] embarked on the llth of May
1823, for Leghorn. He remained there some time,
then went to England, and aiterwnrds relumed to
regain his lost throne and Empire. He landed
near the port of Sola la Marina on tbe 14th of
July. The Mexican government, hearing ol his
intention, prose, ibed him as a traitor, aud declared
lhatif he landed in lhe country he should be B
public enemy- A Pole, named Beneski, accompanied lhe Emperor, but tailed lo obtain, passports
for bis august friend. Gen. La Garza, the com-"
mand* r of the post ol Tamaulipas, discovered him.
aud, having given him up lo ibe authorities, be
was ordered to be shot. Al 7 o;clock, on the afternoon of tbe 28th of April, having confessed
himsell, he was conducted to lbe place of execu-
liou. He made a short address te the assembled
people, declaring that be was innocent, good, and
patriotic, aud pardoning ail his enemits. He was
killed at the-first Are. The wile and children of
Iturbide were soon after laird-d oe lhe Mexican
coast, and were basely deserted by lhe wretch who
bad ihem In charge. He feared, with all kfud3 Ol
.error, that death which he has met long ago.—
Thus died the first Emperor of M.-xloo; the second
will soon appear. Who shall say what will be bis

States where R* publican Supreme Courts

[From the London Times, Julj 20.]
No portion of modern history has repeated it^
self so often or so completely as that of the American war. The tide of battle returns at almost regular intervals to the same ground, with results so
similar on the main lasaes, tbat even fresh events
scarcely redeem the blood-stained chronicle from a
mournful kind <■! monotony, Two batSkH on tho
field of Bull Run, two battles before Fredericks
burg, are the repetitions ol iBcldeets in four disaB->
trons attempts by tbe Northern States toinvadu
the Sooth. On Ihe olher hand, the second advacce of
the Southern army into Maryland and Penpsylva-*
nia seems to bave brought with it nearly the same
result as lhe first. The three days, fighting at
Gettysburg ended like those of Antietam. A hurried tnarch hoi thward of the Federal army to protect Washington, an obstinate Conflict, closed by a
drawn battle, and a deliberate retreat of the Confederates into Virginia, make the,second Southern
incursion a close counterpart of its predecessor.
The similarily extends even to the details of thn
two operations. The indecieiv.-- battleof Antietam
was renewed, and Gen. Lt;e withdrew the whole of
bis force in good order during the night while tbe
Federals could not pursue it with any effect. Precisely tho same incidents bave occurred again na
the results of ihe battle of Gettysburg. The action terminated by lbe close cf lbe night on the 3d
of July was not renewed, and on the morning of
the 4ih Gen. Meade found his opponent had retired
(rom his position. At lirst it was not knowa
whether the Confederates had really retreated, or
whether Gen, Lee was tnanOeuvT.ng to obtain a
position for another engagement. But on the Sth
and the following days, it, appeared that the Cou-
lederates were retiring iu good order, with all their
artillery, towards the Potomac,
Whether the second Southern invasion Ifl to be
regarded as a failure depends entirely on ihe purpose with which it was undertaken. Was it merely
a ilraid" on au enormous scale, or an inroad for the
conquest oF territory ? Wilh the experience tbe
Southerners gained when Ihey first tested tbe disposition of Maryland, I hey could have had no sanguine hope ol popular support oti their second appearance in the State, though in greater numbers.
But this time tbey did nut limit, their incursion to
the lerritoty in which there is undoubtedly a considerable amount of latent "Southern opinion ;"
ihey made a wider sweep into tbe more doubtful
Siate of Pennsylvania. The peaceful associations
connected with the State appear to have had a
moral influence ou ihe people, ior the apathy they
exhibited in sueh exuaordinary circumstances as-
louished and almost scandalized even New York,
That they would gite no aid to the invaders wa3
certain, but they were also perfectly iiidiiierent to
the Southern occupation. A spiritless people aud
a fertile soil are exactly the elements of lempla-
tion to aa eaetny in h time oi civil -war. Tht;
temptation is not lessened when tbat enemy is ia
great need of things abundantly possessed by tbose
it hates. As a raid therelore, Ihe Southern army
may have effected a successful opetaiion, though
the Confederacy ie as far as ever from obtaining
permanent possession of an inch of Northern territory. Tbe Pennsylvauians drove hard bargains
wiih tbe small force sent by New York to defend
tbem. Bui it it is difficult to argue wilh the master of many legions, it ia impossible to bargain
closely with the legions themselves. The Southern army was numerouyeuougb to regulate the
market, and during iheir stay there is little doubt
that "pt-icus rilled in favor ol tbe buyers." Iu fact
for a considerable time the Southerners have
made tbe war support itself, and supplied their
enormous army nt the cost of one oi the most
wealthy districts of the North. Politically, tbe
object ol tbe invasion remains obscure, aud appears even hopeless. Bnt if the purpose was to
train supplies, the motive of the Operation is clear
euough. It was a calculation in which-, the mat-
terial advantage to be gained was balanced by a
possible loss in the process.
The real lesson ibat should be drawn from tha
political failure of these repealed aud mutual invasions, is that the issues sought are not to bo
gained by war at alb From ibe first the conflict
was one of ihe questions and principles whicb can
ouly be settled by statesmanship. National madness has given them over for decision hy tbe
a word ( and it is now evident to the world that
fighting bi ings that decision no Dearer. Opinion
bas marked out a frontier which armies cross iu
Vain to compel submission. Whichever side attacks seems destined always to lull. The Soulh
constantly victorious in Virginia, is baffled when it
passes nonh of tbe Potomac. Eren the alternate
successes of the war, in ibe waste ol life-by which
tbey are purchased, prove It desperate; and the
repeated failures on both tides, for any purpose
larger than a destructive iueursion, point as clearly as any human events cau do to a settlement of
another kind. The war may be continued lo mu-
tual exhaustion, bat it Will never mutually convince. Statesmen, if tiiey can be loiind, will bave

The Confederate Senate has lost its most brilliant ornament. William L. Yancey is dead, and has not left bis peer i/1 parliamentary oratory. The style and manner of Yancey was so far superior to tbe loose, gaudy aud extravagant rhetoric which is common throughout America, that those wbo listened for the first time to the hautboy tones of hie delightful voice, and considered tbe elegant precision of his diction, perfect order of argument tho ease of thought and expression with wliich be analyzed every subject, and assembled jti nod principles into plaWurt* sMsoosrse, wore iiiied II ■■■■'!'*' Iu the August number oftbe English Magazine called London Society, is a pleasaut series of sketches entitled "Recollection of Al mack's" in which occurs the following picture of Louis Napoleon iu lhe character of an exile; 'In yonder cornel of lbe tea-room, in shadow, stands a short dark complexioued man, whose eyes are scarcely ever raided from the ground to rest even upon lhe fairest faces ; yet he is one wbo, in tbat drear yet impassioned jouth of disappointment and difficulty, ardently admires beauty. No one would suspect it. Itis tiue the hair on that staight brow is Btill brown, and thiok, aud glossy; and he who has paased'through a lifetime of ad-- ventures is tbi:-* scarcely thirty ; yet youth was hardly even then oue of bis attributes. His small, narrow, grey eyes, have- none of its vivacity ; his cheek, embrowned, uot pale, none of its freshness. He stoops some what, and a heavy look of cure depresses his physiognomy. Yet is it care? or is t policy that wears such an aspect of apathy, and that, indicates to the superficial observer such au absence ol intelligence? "Believe me, in that man—the brightest intellec' of his time jo a throne—lbe vast powers cf hi* great intelligence are veiled by a coverture of in - difference, lie is playing a part. No oue suspects the bidden fire, that scarcely ever fumes in the presence of observers. By that, man of silence and reserve, great designs ara cherished, great wrongs are remembered—hopes never abandoned art, mothered, and for these the musk is worn.

This extraordinary naan, the first, and lo the present tiray, only Empetor of Mexico, was born in Vallodoiid de Michoacan in the year 1784, though some say*in 1790, and was executed at Padilla ou the 19th of July, 1824. He was the sou oi a native of Pampeluna, in Spain, who had eel- tied in Mi'xico. At an early age he entered tha militia of his province, and served without pay, He became u lieutenant in tbe regular army in 1810, wheu his regiment was in active service against his insurgent countrymen. His activity and aid in suppressing the Morales insurrection led to his promotions*!. In the same year the revolution, projected by, Don Miguel Hidalgo, eartrw ot Dolores, broke out, aud Iturbide, having been tendered the rank of lieutenant by tbe insurgents. absolutely refused it. On the contrary, he used ali his effurte to subdue the comainiion, and in reward was made commander of Guaaajaata and Vailed olid, as well as of the army ol the North. About this time the royalists accused bim ol want of fidelity to tbe cause in.which tlie army was engaged, lie was, however, acquitted of ihe charge, hut, being disgusted, withdrew to his plantation. He afterwards engaged in a plan for the emancipation of Mexico from the yoke oi Spain, the freedom oi the country, aud the extension of freedom to all classes of people. This was known as the "Iguala plan." Tbis plan was entirely successful, '■Without bloodshed, coi*fi*gratious, robberies, or depredations,'' writes Iturbide himself, in his political life—"nay, without even a mislortune, a single sigh, or a tear, my country was rendered happy, and from a colony transformed to a great and glorious empire/* Iturbide'e generosity led many to suppose that he was iu league with the Union troops. He advanced to Qneretaro, and was soon joined by Gnadaioupe Vicloria, the most devoted of lhe friends of liberty. Meantime the Viceroy General, Juan O'Doroja, (or, in Irish, John O'Donohue,) arrived from Spain, and, finding the whole county virtually with Iturbide, con- eluded a treaty with bim at Cordova, on the 24th ol August, 1821, in conformity with tbe plan ol [gual'i, and the drafts were instantly forwarded to Ferdinand VII. Tbe treaty of Ordova opened the gates olthe Capital, as well as the road to power, to Iturbide. On thK 27th of Se-jtem-dtr be eutered lbe city of Mexico, and on the same day tbe form ot government alluded to in lbe I^uala plan was formed, and he entered on hia official duties. The new Assembly began to exercise its functions, when Iturbide found that he bad divested himself o** certain powers wihout wbich be could not control it. Then it was tbat he tyw, as he eays, "the amount of the sa riflces" he had made Tbe Republicau party soon discovered the object he had in view, and the Congress made several attempts to check or diminish bis power. Two parlies now arose which were afterwards known as Republicans and Bourbonists, both ol tbem being opposed to Iturbide. The effect of?-1 tbis war of parties was the exhaustion ol the public treasuries, and nothing was left to pay the army or the public functionaries. There waa no established system for Iho public finances. Tbe administration ol justice wae abandoned, the tribunals were of no effect, and yet Congress did not interfere. In a word, the country required aid in every respect, but the uew Legislature did nothing efficient tor the uew "Empire. About April, 1822, symptoms of Rppronehiii(r anarchy became apparent. Cotitrn-ss dismissed three of the four regeuta and declared tbat the command of the army was incompatible with the duties of a memb-ir of tbe executive pow er. This was a direct blow at Iturbide, but the eommander-iu-chief, having bayonets at his disposal, kept lhe Cuiigress in check. On the night °l the 18tb of May, the people and garrison of Mexico simultant'ovtsly—us if by common consent —proclaimed him Kmperor, '-Long live Agustin the First" was the general shout, says the Emperor, "which astonished and appalled me." Iturbide drew up a proclamation, whicb was circulated the following morning, pointing out lbe necessity orconvening the regency, tbe army and all tbe authorities. The regency and army gave in tbeir adhesion, and ip the Congress Ituibide received seventy four Votes out of ninety-luur. Shortly after, the Congress declarevl tbe crown hereditary in the family of Iturbide, gave lo his sons aud father the title of princes, settled upon him an annual grant of one million five hundred thousand dollars, and established au order oi knighthood, called tbe Order ot Guadeloupe. But tbe Emperor was not long able to maintain his amhorily against public mistrust and Lbe conflicting claims ol rival chiefs. On tbe 26th of August he caused a number of the deputies to be arrested for plott- iDg against iiii government. A quarrel with tbe Congress was tbe resuit. aud be dissolved that body, appointing a junta ot forty-five meo in ils place. He then lurned hia attention to the castle of San Juan de Ulloa, tbe ouly point still occupied by the Spaniards, General Santa Anna being then in command of Vera Cruz. On attempting to remove lhat officer from his command he became excited, aroused the people, and proclaimed a Republic. He was, however, unsuccessful in his attempts. Di'ti.'Ction soon became general throughout M ex ice; the army deserted the Emperor, as wel! as the people, and bo therefore tendered his resignation of the crown in the city of Mexico on the 20th o*f March, 1823. At tlie same time be lequesled permission to leave the country, wbicb was granted him, together with a yearly pension of twenty-five thousand dollars, A stipulation was connected with ibis pension, that he should forever reside abroad, and. iu case ef his death provision was made for hie family. He went dowu io tbe coast, mm] embarked on the llth of May 1823, for Leghorn. He remained there some time, then went to England, and aiterwnrds relumed to regain his lost throne and Empire. He landed near the port of Sola la Marina on tbe 14th of July. The Mexican government, hearing ol his intention, prose, ibed him as a traitor, aud declared lhatif he landed in lhe country he should be B public enemy- A Pole, named Beneski, accompanied lhe Emperor, but tailed lo obtain, passports for bis august friend. Gen. La Garza, the com-" mand* r of the post ol Tamaulipas, discovered him. aud, having given him up lo ibe authorities, be was ordered to be shot. Al 7 o;clock, on the afternoon of tbe 28th of April, having confessed himsell, he was conducted to lbe place of execu- liou. He made a short address te the assembled people, declaring that be was innocent, good, and patriotic, aud pardoning ail his enemits. He was killed at the-first Are. The wile and children of Iturbide were soon after laird-d oe lhe Mexican coast, and were basely deserted by lhe wretch who bad ihem In charge. He feared, with all kfud3 Ol .error, that death which he has met long ago.— Thus died the first Emperor of M.-xloo; the second will soon appear. Who shall say what will be bis iatf MiXIMILIAS. Maximilian Joseph, Ferdinand Maximilian Joseph, Archduke of Austria, whom the Assembly of Mexican Notables haw just elected Bmpefer of Mexico, is lhe oldest brotber.of the reigning Emperor of Austria. He was born en tbe 6lI_ oi July, 1832, and is consequently 31 years old. He was married on tlie 27th of July, 1857, to Marin Charlotte, dmighter of the King of Belgium, but hay no issue from this marriage. Archduke Maximilian is a vice admiral, and chW commander of lhe Austrian navy, aud is reported to have a thorough 'nmiharUy with everything belonging to the naval service.

Tus Soldier Vote Dkchrbd Unconstitutional —The Judiciary of Nl'W Hampshire have declared that tbe soldiers' voting proposition, whieh bad been passed by the Republican Legislature ol that State, is oppossed to tha spirit and latter ol the Con stitution, as well as the common law, which re- qoires th*-- p•■•sense of tbe voters at lbe polls. Sev eral practical objec ions to the bill are also mentioned tn the opinion. The opinion is signed by Chief Justice Bell, and Associate Justices Bellows. Nesmitb and Bartlett. This proposition is similar to the one pasj-eckby a party vote in the Legislature of thia State last Winter.—JVeW York Fxpress, The supreme Court of New Hampshire is Repub- ican. Tbe Legislature of Pennsylvania passed a similar law, bin the Republican Supreme Court set It aside M illegal. In Connecticut the soldiet vote .wis dec'are-d to he unconstitutional by the Republican Si.pi'enae Court of that State. These pie denti all appy to Ohio. A soldier vote aw is. ) more con«nfuiional here than it is ln the other States where R* publican Supreme Courts it aside.—CinQiitnati F.nqvirer, [From the London Times, Julj 20.] No portion of modern history has repeated it^ self so often or so completely as that of the American war. The tide of battle returns at almost regular intervals to the same ground, with results so similar on the main lasaes, tbat even fresh events scarcely redeem the blood-stained chronicle from a mournful kind <■! monotony, Two batSkH on tho field of Bull Run, two battles before Fredericks burg, are the repetitions ol iBcldeets in four disaB-> trons attempts by tbe Northern States toinvadu the Sooth. On Ihe olher hand, the second advacce of the Southern army into Maryland and Penpsylva-* nia seems to bave brought with it nearly the same result as lhe first. The three days, fighting at Gettysburg ended like those of Antietam. A hurried tnarch hoi thward of the Federal army to protect Washington, an obstinate Conflict, closed by a drawn battle, and a deliberate retreat of the Confederates into Virginia, make the,second Southern incursion a close counterpart of its predecessor. The similarily extends even to the details of thn two operations. The indecieiv.-- battleof Antietam was renewed, and Gen. Lt;e withdrew the whole of bis force in good order during the night while tbe Federals could not pursue it with any effect. Precisely tho same incidents bave occurred again na the results of ihe battle of Gettysburg. The action terminated by lbe close cf lbe night on the 3d of July was not renewed, and on the morning of the 4ih Gen. Meade found his opponent had retired (rom his position. At lirst it was not knowa whether the Confederates had really retreated, or whether Gen, Lee was tnanOeuvT.ng to obtain a position for another engagement. But on the Sth and the following days, it, appeared that the Cou- lederates were retiring iu good order, with all their artillery, towards the Potomac, Whether the second Southern invasion Ifl to be regarded as a failure depends entirely on ihe purpose with which it was undertaken. Was it merely a ilraid" on au enormous scale, or an inroad for the conquest oF territory ? Wilh the experience tbe Southerners gained when Ihey first tested tbe disposition of Maryland, I hey could have had no sanguine hope ol popular support oti their second appearance in the State, though in greater numbers. But this time tbey did nut limit, their incursion to the lerritoty in which there is undoubtedly a considerable amount of latent "Southern opinion ;" ihey made a wider sweep into tbe more doubtful Siate of Pennsylvania. The peaceful associations connected with the State appear to have had a moral influence ou ihe people, ior the apathy they exhibited in sueh exuaordinary circumstances as- louished and almost scandalized even New York, That they would gite no aid to the invaders wa3 certain, but they were also perfectly iiidiiierent to the Southern occupation. A spiritless people aud a fertile soil are exactly the elements of lempla- tion to aa eaetny in h time oi civil -war. Tht; temptation is not lessened when tbat enemy is ia great need of things abundantly possessed by tbose it hates. As a raid therelore, Ihe Southern army may have effected a successful opetaiion, though the Confederacy ie as far as ever from obtaining permanent possession of an inch of Northern territory. Tbe Pennsylvauians drove hard bargains wiih tbe small force sent by New York to defend tbem. Bui it it is difficult to argue wilh the master of many legions, it ia impossible to bargain closely with the legions themselves. The Southern army was numerouyeuougb to regulate the market, and during iheir stay there is little doubt that "pt-icus rilled in favor ol tbe buyers." Iu fact for a considerable time the Southerners have made tbe war support itself, and supplied their enormous army nt the cost of one oi the most wealthy districts of the North. Politically, tbe object ol tbe invasion remains obscure, aud appears even hopeless. Bnt if the purpose was to train supplies, the motive of the Operation is clear euough. It was a calculation in which-, the mat- terial advantage to be gained was balanced by a possible loss in the process. The real lesson ibat should be drawn from tha political failure of these repealed aud mutual invasions, is that the issues sought are not to bo gained by war at alb From ibe first the conflict was one of ihe questions and principles whicb can ouly be settled by statesmanship. National madness has given them over for decision hy tbe a word ( and it is now evident to the world that fighting bi ings that decision no Dearer. Opinion bas marked out a frontier which armies cross iu Vain to compel submission. Whichever side attacks seems destined always to lull. The Soulh constantly victorious in Virginia, is baffled when it passes nonh of tbe Potomac. Eren the alternate successes of the war, in ibe waste ol life-by which tbey are purchased, prove It desperate; and the repeated failures on both tides, for any purpose larger than a destructive iueursion, point as clearly as any human events cau do to a settlement of another kind.
