Farewell yet let one echo rise to shake our ancient hall God save tho Queen whoso throne is here the Mother of us all i Till dawns the groat commoncmentday on every shore and sea And Expectantur all mankind to take i their last Degree j What Shall be Done with the Slajas i This is the constantly recarrin ques tion coining up with every new phase of the contest The NY Tinascornmerits as follows on the policy of the Government i The letter of Mr CameronSecretary of War to Geti Jjutier at Fortress Monroe indicates the policy of the Government in regard to the treatment of the slaves vlio shall escape fronicitizens of rebel States and seuk protection in the armies of the United S as The ground taken seems to be eminently prudent and sound and cannot fail we think to give satisfaction to the country The slaves that escape from the eiti zens of rebel States are of Vvo classes First t those that escape Iriim rebel masters and secondly those that escape from loyal citizens None of either class are to lie returned by thpintervention of the military authorities The remanding of fugitive slaves can only be ordered by a judicial tribunal of the United States but inasmuch at in1 the rebel States where our armies are the authority of theNatioual Government is denied and itg officers expelled itfollows that no delivery of a fugitive slave to his master can be tiiude according to law If there beany State law asdoubtless there is in all slaveholding States Of the recovery of fugitive it becomes a question how far that law may beenforced by the Stale authorities On ch3 pointMr Cameron says that the State law if the State is in rebellion against the General Government must needs be wholly or almost wholly sus pended in tho presence of the Union armies where the negroes have taken refuge 1Hottr coulda rebel Justice of the Peace for instance get a writ served by a rebel Sheriff or Constable inAlexandria Fort Monroe or anywhere in Western Virginia The remedy by State law fails a3 entirely as the remedy by National law The State hasexpelled the National officers who might have remanded the fugitives to their masters And the rebel State officers dare not appear near the Unioti armieS where the slaves are gathered to seize and return them Thus the fugitives continue at large from sheer lack of law to take hold of them And thisresult happens as well in case of loyal masters as disloyal and herein seems a hardship for tlie Government desires and proclaims its purpose to protect all loyal citizens even in the seceding states in all their personal and proper Xy rights But this hardship is the re suit of necessity arid loyal men must submit to it as one of the evils of war But if the Government cannot lestore fugitives from the luck of judicial tribu nals before which the nghis of property may be established it lakes good are thal the rights ot loyal men in therescaped saves shall be preserved his is extraconstituti nial and in ultraAb olitiohquarters will o tnedtly condemned course Uivwhe But the better judgment ot this nation in the present aspect of the rebellion will we are sure approve it It is a bounty offered on loyalty in communities where it isdangerous to be loyal and where loyalty is most Inconvenient to the rebels Ent ivpart from the consideration of extreme favor and kindness which might justly prompt the Government to keep safely the escaped slaves of loyal mastersuntil a law could be estsblished for their return we might very well find another reason based altogetner onconsiderations of public safety for the detention of fugitive slaves The Government needs their labor and has a right to impress it And so far as the rebel Blasters are concerned the Government has a right to strip them of all chance ol recovering their iugitives and so does well to keep the contrabands in the public service In theend the National Government may either return fugitive slaves to loval masters or provide to pay for them if by the nations will or negligence they are lost to their rightful owners Such is substantially the view of the General Government The question of returning fugitive slaves to loyal owners is as it were left open but not theabsolute right of the foyai ovner in theescaped slave That right is allowed and tbe Government goes as we have shown to an extrajudicial extent to save the propertycf the loyalist j it u easy to see what an immenseinterest the fugitive slave will become in the further progress of the warAlready at Fortress Monroe rations are issued for one thousand fugitive slaves worth by valuation a year ago perhaps one million of dollars As our armies advance into the South the numbers will multiply aud before we have gone further south than Richmond and Mem phis we shall doubtless have enough of this contraband property on hand to pay the whole expense ot the war if it were deemed just to confiscate it to such a purpose v inch however for the fugitive slaves sake not for theirrebel masters will not be done But we besm to see now the stupendous fatality of Secessionism which under the color of protecting Slavery by dissolving the Union is causing Slavery to melt from the land as snows under a summers Secsfion Sheet Mobbed The riot itt Concord New Hampshire on Thursday briefly reported byiclegitiph was a seiiuiis affair Thereturned soldiers uf the First New Hampshire Regiment took ottence1 nrJcertainexpressions in the editorial columns of ihe Democratic Standard a paper which hits steadlustlviopposed the government and denounced tlnwar A company of the soldiers procured copies of the paper read extracts to an excited crowd and presently a revolver was fired the ball passingirito the building occupied by the Standard niioyly escaping some women employed i a sewing machine

fill Esq and sevpral prominentcitizens endeavored fo cuui the excited populace but with no effect they their vvent up to the oifice and toldihepublishers that if tdcy would give no Uieir arms they

altempted to enter but the door was bolted and they couiuieueed staving out the panels ncenroswere then freely used inside and several of the crowd were wounded one in the arm another in the hand while bullets passed through the clothes of a number The firing was distinctly heard in the street and thousands filled the way to a long distance above and below thebuilding The publishers escaped into ihe altiq by a ladder and the rioters took posses sion J he work ot demolition was now commenced in good earuest types desks paper or all lauds and in tact everything thatis used about a prinking office ctwne tumbling down oil the side walk in a fearful manner Boafires were immediately kindled and therelies of the secession press were thrown upon the burning pile while the soldiers gathered

them the President is authorized to accept the services of 590000 men for f the war One ot tho bills issupplemental to the other and after referring to it aiid to the forces it provides gives the President power to call out in addition to the troops cow authorized by law 500000 more troops Thus thePresident has power to call into the field a million of men A member of theCabinet remarked that it was much to be hoped that there would be no necessity for bringing into the field more than the half milliou of men provided for in the first bill but that if it proved otherwise if the war should prove a long one the Administration would not hesitato to i call out the other haf million aod even I to ask more if it should be neMsary After the Battle A Hebel Account A correspondent of the RichmondEnquirer describes a visit to the Bulls Run battlefield the day after the fight The writer of this on Monday last passed over the scene of the battle of the 21n near Bull Run It was gratifying to rind contrary to rumors which nave trained some circulation that the dead wit nnly of our own army but also of the enemy have all been decently buried In the whole area of that terrible onset no human corpse and not even a mangled liuib was to be seen The earth hadreceived them all and so far as the human combatants were concerned nothingremained to tell of those who had fallen victims to tbe shock of battle save the mounds of fresh earth which showed where they had been laid raway in their 1tst sleep Many of these mounds gave evidence pf the pious care of surviving comrades Enclosures were built around the graves and branches of evergreens cover the spot Sometimes borrds mark ed Hie head and foot ou which werecaryed or painted the name and fellowship of the deceased Sometimes boards hailed lo a neighboring tree told that the ground nrljscent contaiued the fallen of certain regiment or company s t Numerous dead horses scattered over ihe area show where the batteries offlyii artillery were capiured or disabled or where some officer was dismounted Ths prostiate fences top served to markiliatruck of the battle Where the infantry crossed they were broken down so that a mart might step ovor and wide gaps sli owed where the artillery carriage Jiad thundered along The ground too tram pled by the feet of rushing men andhorses evidenced where the struggle had bivii fiercest Of the relics of the battle already but few remain The field has beensearched and gleaned by daily crowds of visitors seeking for mementoes A few bullets that had run their errand some fragments ofexnloded bombs a lot ofhaversacks aud a few other things were all that an extensive rumble brought under our view Canes cut frcm the battle field areconsiderably in demand v The enemys column of advance as showu by the battle ground presented a front of about one mile Their onward march from the point where tiievencountered our advance bodies to the limits where they met pur full line and the full battle was joined and the fate of the day decideVI was about a mile and a half A parallelogram of about n mile by a mile aud a half therefore covers the scene of the great conflict In this area are included five dwelling houses all of which We visited boT evi donees of he stornr which raged nrouud them Many were kuled in the yard pf the house of Mr J DDogan A bullet bole in a chamber door remains a memen to of the battle His family escaped just as tue battle joined But it was on the hill south of tbeturnpike road where the enemys farthestadvance was checked andwhere the final issue was fought that the inwraptdwelling showed most plainly the fury of the fight A house here late the abode of a widow lady Mrs Judith Henry was riddled with cannon and musket shot Hissing projectiles from the enemys cannon had passed throughwalls and roofs until the dwelling was a wreck It is a sad story that we tell This estimable lady who had spent here a long life illustrated by the graces that adorn the meek Christian w is now bedridden There she lay amid t lie bon iudin and no less than three of the missiles of death that scoured through her cnamoer innicteu their wounds upon her It seems a strap dispensation of Providence that one whose life hud been so gentle an secluded should have found her end amid such a storm of human pas1 sions and that tlia Humble abode winch had witnessed her quiet pilgrimage should have been shattered over tier dying bed Yet even amid such terrors Heavenvindicated its laws When the combatants had retired the aged snffefei was still alive and she lived long enough to say that her mind was tranquil and she died in peace a peace that the roar Of battle and the presence of death panoplied in all his terrors had not disturbed Noblematron hundred yards to theright of the limiir of Mrs Ileury lay five horses in a lieui and near by another heap of as many more Here a portion of Shermansbattery made its last advance Just as it reached the top of tho bill our riflemen approaching in tjie other directionreached it too At once they poured iu a fire which cut dowu horses and men and made the pieces unmanageable Thegallant boys followed tho fire with a bayonet charge and the guus were taken The cannon were taken and retaken several times in the furious fieht but tho horses had been killed and the caution could not be removed nor used Shermansbattery was not lost some oilier battery is here alluded to On the left of Mrs Henrys distant about a fourth of a mile is a neat house belonging to a colored man namedRobinson A cannon ball drove through this also Between these two is an orchard of small trees where Hamptons legion fought and suffered so severely Their graves ate hero One of them which covers the remains of a near aelativa of IIou J L Orr U marked by a broken muket placed us a headstone Away on the extreme northern verge of the battle ground is the pine grove in which the Cleurgi i regiment met the ene mys Advance The gallant band thero withstood the enemys column until near ly surrounded They then retreated not from those in front but from those who were closing around them In this pine grove there seemed scarce a tree that was net struck by the4 enemys balls A mini ber of Georgians fell here and their graves slratcgy if lie docs I10t pr0V a if apoleare close by In thegrove was pointed will r ni

piled the ground hofore tem with the slain of the enemy Difficulty ef IIanaging a Larse Army The follbwihg extract from an English letter dated July 2 is of interest 16 Americans and affords some consolation at the present time v I fear there will be much ignorantrrapatienee at the mistakes which must me itably take place in handling very large bodies of troops Lord Clyde after fifty years experience with great ability Inhandling a division well in front of theenemy made some terrible mistakes when he had sixty thousand men to command 1 aud these were regular troops What then must be the difficulties of Gen Scott and his officers with such vast bodies of irregulars to move The Duke ofWellington in giving bis testimony on the probability of a French invasion said there wero not zi7ee old general officers in th j English army who could handle one hun i dred thousaid men without throwing them into confusion And it now turns outthat the French Marshals at Solferino made such a mess with their one hundred and eight1 thousand raeu that anybody buttha Austriaiis would have routed them I shall Pot be surprised therefore to hear of some serious misadventures in General Scotts

intelligent men res cued from the Petrel says that it isacknocvedged now that they will soon be compelled to entirely abandon their pri vateering scheme They have but very few vessels they can fit out and all their attempts to do so are much crippled by the want of proper machinery and even when they get to sea and are successful they can expect to reap but little profit because all foreign ports are closed against them and when they attempt to send their prizes home there is a stroDg probability that thev witl be cantnred by the cruisers of our government He says the crew of the Jeff
