WEEKLY SENTINEL.

MONDAY, JULY 27. Foreign Intervention. The news from abroad presents tome indica1 tlons that Loci Napoleon intends to interfere Id American affairs. If be does, it will be with either the acquiescence, or co operation of the leading European Governments. We hare no doubt but it is the anxious desire of those powers that the rebellion should be a success. Tbej prefer that there should be two independent con" federacies, jealous of and antagonistic to each other, rather than one powerful government upon the basis of the old fjaion. How far tbej wili be willing to interrcne with "material aid and comfort" to assist the Southern Confederacy remains to be seen . So long as the contest was about equal, the foreign powers sympathizing with the rebellion eouUl look upon the exhausting war to both rectiocs with apparent indifference, but now the case presents a different aspect, and if there is aoy purpose on their part to aid in establishing the Southern Confederacy, they will be forced to show their hands. The success of the Federal forces in the Southwest, and the repulse of Lkk give the Assuranee that the rebellion has reached its culminating point, and without foreign aid the Rebels tbemsclres can hare but little hope for the success of their cause. They are making the most extraordinary efforts to retrieve their recent disasters, but there is little- prospect that the new lery which the Rebel Government has ordered, if it is raised, will be able to resist the disciplined and veteran armies of Grant and Rosecrans. The next thirty days will determine the attitude of the European Governments towards our own, and whether there is any such alliance between Louis Napoleon and Jeff. Davis as the intelligence from abroad intimates. Under present circumstances can not our own Government afford to be magnanimous? The great body of the Sou'hem people must be tired of the war. They hare experienced its terrible evils. The people of Virginia, of Tennessee, of Mississippi, of Louisiana, and Arkansas know its devastations. The recent Federal victories cn not but dishearten them. We so jude from the tone of the Southern press. We have cot a doubt but a proposal from our Government to receive all who desire to return to the Union upon the same basis that existed before the break ing out of hostilities would be accepted not only, but welcomed by the greqt mass of the people of the Southern States. We believe that the controversy could e settled upon such terms, and peace and Union restored. If the Administration really desires to stop the war, in our opinion the opportunity is now presented. Is there statesmanship enough in Wash ngton to take advantage of the rei-ent successes of our army, and terminate the fratricidal contest honorably to ourselves and without unnecessarily degrading a people whom we profess to be anxious to luve live with us, upon terms of equality under a common Government? In this way, interference in our aff.iirs by foreign Governments can be prevented or made unavailable; and, aa an united people, with the experience of the past two veirs, we would soon become the most powerful nation of the earth. If really great men were guiding the Ship of State, there would be but little difficulty in bringing this unnatural strife to a close; but we fear there is more desire for party triumph than a restored Union upon any basis that will jeopardize the perpetuation of Republican rule. The Conscript Law The discussions in the Federal Convention on the clause of the Constitution which relates to raising of armies was of an interesting character. A large majority of the Convention was distinctly opposed to giving the General Government the control of the militia of the States, and it was left for the State authorities to furnish whatever troops might be required by the Federal authorities for the common defense and protection of the States. The design of the Conscript law is to ignore State authority and responsibility in raising the troops thit maybe required by the General Government In that regard the Conscript law i clearly in conflict with the spirit, if nut the letter, of the Constitution. Even Hamilton, who was in favor of a strong Government, regarded the exercise of such power, as is conferred upon the Federal authorities in the couscript law, as dangerous to the liberties of the people. Mr. Gebet, a member of the Conven tion from Massachusetts, sid, "He had as leave let the citizens of Massachusetts be dis armed as to take the command from the States and subject them to the general legislation. It would be regarded at ttfttrm of detpotitm." . Yet a law ot this character is now upon the statute book, and, if enforced,, its effect, if not its intention, is to break down all State authority and invest the Federal Government with despotic powers. The very difficulties which the framers of the Con Btitution anticipated in giving unlimited power to the General Government over the militia of the States are now upon as, and we fear, if excr cised, that it will result in a central despotism. Important Cenfiacatlon Decision The first case under the confiscation law passed by the last Confess came up in the District Supreme Court at Washington on Thursday. The case was that of the property of Dr Garnett .son in law to Henry A. Wise. After s-ijb? that it was the first case under this important law. Judge V vlie said he bad at nrst doubted, but upon re son and the authorities was satisfied that it was his duty to issue a decree ordering the condem nation of the property. The act of Congress did not, as was generally supposed, treat inhabitants of the so-called Confederate States as traitors, but as alien enemies. In that point of view, by the law of nations their property of every description is liable to absolute forfeiture and alienation to tbe use of the Government. There is no distinction between personal property and real estate. Nor did the Constitution, as was suppose J. forbid the absolute forfeiture of real es tate,buttbe joiut resolution passed by Congress on the same day of the confiscation act, under the provision of which this property is sought to be confiscated vu av declaration bv them that in Iii spirit of kindness they would confiscate the real estate of a Rebel only during his lifetime. He was bourn! by that resolution, and would there-' fore condemn the real estate during the lifetime of the owner, and the personal property abao lutely. Judge Wylie referred to a forge number of authorities, among them the eis of the Marv land and Pennsylvania Assemblies, confiscating absolutely the property of Americans who re s maiued loyal to the English Crown during the Revolution. ' After this decision of the Judge, the District Attorney asked leave to dispose of some twenty other cases, wbicb depended on the same principles, which request was granted, and decrees of condemnation were ordered.

The Irl or can Haid The Cond act et a lew Leading itrpnbllcnns of Isar tholimew County. Coli-vbls, Ixd., July 22. 1863. Ed. Sxstisel: Of course John Morgan's in vasion of our glorious Slate was wrong, but we Democrats had a glorious opportunity to test the sincerity of the professions of some of our loud mouthed Republican hypocrites, who, from the commencement of our present troubles, have done nothing but denounce Democrats as traitors and cry war "war to the knife and knife to the hilt" in brothers hearts. It was presumed by many that, should these men ever get into a con flict, they would never cease fighting, and would, consistent with their teachings, "fight on, fight always.". But alas! bow wofuily mistaken were all who entertained this opinion. It has been said that "a barking dog never bites," and these war men prove it. The Democrats, always patriotic and full of State pride, determined to organize a company which might, if possible, contribute something toward expelliug the guerrilla army of John Morgan from our beloved State. Accordingly, Mat. Gaffi:er, a life long Democrat, commenced tbe organization of a company. The leading Republic ins were appealed to, and finally, when they fou'jd that thev would be required to take no oaih, volunteered for tbe emergency which then existed. We could mention amoug these epublicans who enlisted the name of a would be distinguished Judge, who was recently President of a convention oi "War Democrats" which assembled at the Palmer House in your city. This Judge, who left the Democratic party two years ago because it would not keep him in office all the time, has been the most rampant war man in the State. He is now the despised of all parties, for, since his recent "convention" in In dianapolis, the Abolitionists even repudiate him! Oh, most wise and far-seeing Judge, bow fast hast thou fallen! Another lending Republican, who has some le gal reputation, and who was the only leading man of any party who refused, in a convention called for the purpose of instructing eur memtr in Con gress to vote for tbe Crittenden Compromise who voted airainst it, was also a member of our company. We also bad two preachers, both of whom have long sin e quit preaching "Christ and Him crucified," and now preach nothing but war. We never bear them say "ßlessed are tbe peace mak ers, or " l hou stiait not kill; but oeing atnicted with the peculiar disease which George Francis Train calls "nigjjer on the brain," thev think of nothing but "the poor, down-trodden African," and his future welfare. We alxo had a doctor with us, who, having nearly always been a dis grace to the profession of the renowned sculapius, has sought for the past few years a political prominence by which be could live with less labor. All these men, contrary to general expectations, disgracefully absented themselves from the com pany as soon as it arrived at Madison ! The next morning Capt. Gaffney ordered us on a march toward the Rebels, who were supposed to be about five miles Irotn Madison. We had every prospect of a fight, our judge, lawyer, doctor and preacher contended they bad better not accompany us. Some of them plead iudispositiou, and others more bold reported that Gen. Carriagton had placed them on his staff. The company do not know these thine to be true. 1 he fact is, we d not believe that Oon Cnrrington appointed iny one from our company on his st iff. These ending republicans wished to evade the possible danger ot that morning's march thev did so, but it was disgracefully done, unless they can prove that Gen. Carrington gave them other duties to perform, which none who remained in the com pany believe. There is not one of the company hut is dissatisfied and disgusted with the action of these so called "war men." We eull upon them for proof of the truth of their assertion that Gen. Carrington gave them "staff appointments" by which tbey could keep out of danger. If these appointments were not given, then the action of thee men was cowardly. Everv Democrat and conservative Republican stayed with the company until John Morgan was driven from tbe State. That the company was approved by Col. Mullen can be easily showu by the folowing, which is a part of "Special Order No. 19:" "The undersigned, in behaif of the citizens, tenders bis sincere thanks for tbe prompt and patriotic services rendered by Capt. Gaffney and his command in the defense of this post, and must also herein testify to the quick and orderly man ner in which these services were rendered. By command of B. F. Mclle, Col.

John Morgan is as rood at playing a joke sometimes as he is at norse stealing, and the following incident will prove that on this occasion ue did a little oi both at I lie same time. During bis celebrated tour through Indur.a, he, with about three hundred and fiftv guerrillas, took oc casion to pay a visit to a little town hard nr. while the main body were "marching on." D.ish ing suddenly into the little "burg," he found about three hundred homo guards, ech having a good horse tied to the fences, the men standing about m crouitt awaiting orders from their aged Captain, who looked as if he had seen the shadv side of some sixty years. The "Hoosier Ikjb" looked at the men with astonishment, while the captain went up to one of the party and asked: " V bose company is this! "Wolford's cavalrv " said the Reb. "What! Kentucky boys! We're glad to see you bojsl Whar's WolfordT" " 1 here he sits, said a ragged, rough Reb., pointing to Morgan, who was sitting sidewavs uptn his hoise. The Captain walked up to Wo! lord (as he and all thought) and saluted him: "Captain, how are you? "liuiivl ilow are youT v hat are you going to do with ail these men and borseaT Morgau looked about. "Well, vou see. that d d horse thieving John Morgan is in this part of tbe country with parcel of cut throats and thieves, and between you and I, if be comes up this way, Captain, we 11 give him the best we ve got in the shop. "lie s hard to catch, we ve been after bim for fourteen davs and can't see bim at all," said Morgan, good uaturedlv. ' Lf our horses would stand fire we d be all right " "Won't thev standi "No. 'Captain Wolford, Vpose while you're restin' you and your company put rour saddles on our horses and go through a little evolution or two, by way of a lesson to our boys. I m told you're a hoss on the drill, and the only man Mor gan is afraid of." Wolford (as it were) alighted and ordered "his boys" to dismount, as he wanted to show the Hoosier boys how to give Morgan a warm reception should he chance to pay them visit. I his delighted the iloosier boys, so they went to work and assisted the men to tie their old, weary, worn out bones to the fences and place their saddles upon the backs of their freh horses, which was soon done, and the men were in their saddles, drawn up in a line and ready for the word. The boys were highly elated at the idea of hiring their "pet horses" trained for them bv olford and his men, and more so to think that they would stand fire ever after ward. The old Captain advanced, and walking up to Wolford (as he thought.) said: "Captain are you all right now!" Wolford rode up one side of the column and down the other, when be moved to the front, took off his hat. paused and said, "Now Captain, I am ready: if you and your gallant men wirb to witness an evolution which you perhaps have never seen, form a line on each side of the road and watch us closely as we pass." The Captain did as he was directed. A lot of ladies were present on the occasion, and all was as silent as a maiden s aigb. "Are you read v?" "All right, Wo'lford," shouted the Captain. "Forward." shouted Morgan, as the whole col umn rushed through the crowd with lightning speed, amid the shouts and huzzas of every one present some leading a horse or two as they went, leaving their frail tenements of horseflesh tied to the fences, tobe provided for by the cm zens. It soon became whispered about that it was John Morgan and his gang, and there is not a man in the town who will "own up that he was gulled out of a horse. The company dis banded that night, though the Captain holds the horses as prisoners of war, and awaits ac ex change. . , . . - . Arrest of Deserters, Ac. .

Amongst other stories told ol the Rebels under Morgan, whilst in Indiana, one is quite good enough to publish. It is said that one of the gang took from a widow woman four dollars in postage currency. Another of the gang hearing of it became indignant at such an outrage upon a poor woman. The next store he came to he took two bolls of calico, gallopped back to the widow's house, and threw them down to her to make up her loss. TELEGRAPHIC. ' " from St. Louis. St. Louis, July 26.

Purk, m ide the attack and were met by a legion of new recruits from North Carolina, who, after an engagement of hilf an hour retreated with the loa if 300. Our men occupied their position until the next dy, when they made a record advance, and discovered that the Rebels had evacuated, setting fire to a number of bouses containing commissary and quartermaster's stores, which were entirely coi suineJ, with the addition of forty other building, which ignited from the hoiues fired by the Rebels. The city wus at once occupied by Sherman, who sent a force of cavalry to intercept communication and prevent the army of Johnston from joining Bragg, which was supposed he would endeavor to do. The Rebel army left but little behind so deliberately had they left the place, taking their sick with them. Deserters are continually coming in from Johnston's array and expres-t themselves dissatisfied with the shac the campaign is taking, and are willing to throw down their arms and take the oath of allegiance. The Federal loss in the various skirmishes and assaults amounted to 901) men. But few people were found in the place, and most of them foreigners. Pemberlon was curved liberally s a traitor and unworthy of confidence. At Vicksburg the Federal works are being levelled and the Rebel fortifications put into mdVe perfect condition. A number of the finest guns are being mounted and the place will be held as a first class military forlificatiou. By the arrival of the steamer Imperial we have advices Horn New Orle.au of the I7th, Port Hudson to the 19th and Vicksburg to the 21st.

Terry met and repulsed them with great slaughter. The gunboat Pawnee, which supported the left flank, grounded, and a Rebel battery opened on her. firing about 50 shots, 3Ü of which hit her. She subsequently floated off, and opened on the Kenels, putting them to bight. Our casuiltics wre small, and the Rebels were taught a lexson thev will not soon forget. The bombardment of Fort Wagner was re newed on the morning of the 22J, the iron clad co-operating wi:h the army. Duriug the day Fort Wagner was silenced for some lime and the colors shot :vv.

At the two last uamed places Lee was driven back with loss. At Chester Gap our cavalry captured 1,100 of the cattle stolen by tbe enemy, and several bun dred sheep and a . large u umber of horses have also been recaptured. Several brisk skirmishes have taken place. With the exception of cavalry, the principal fight occurred Thursday evening, between Linden and Front Royal, in which a brigade of Rebel infan try, probably Lee's rear guard, was driven through the town The cavalry has done excellent service. Tbe several commands have made arduous marches and reconnoissances, and comt lvtely foiled Stu art in all his attempts to raid on our flanks snd rear. . Mosby's small but enetgetic band has alone given us trouble, principally by cutting off foraging parties snd messengers. A private of a cavalry company reports that on Friday a division of cavalry was compelled to fall back. This force is supposed to be Longstreet's corps. Up to Saturday night, however, this report had not been confirmed. It is impossible to conceive the poverty of the country through wb ich the army passed. With the exception of London county, there is nothing to harvest except a few acres of wheat and corn, and this must be done by manual labor, as the country bus been entirely stripped of stock. The railroad is now in running order to Warrenton. . " . Our supplies which bare been nearly exhaust ed. are flowing into the army, and tbe mails. which bare been entirely suspended since the

army crossed the Potomac, are very anxiously awaited.

Though tbe army has had fatiguing marches, and consequent privations, it would be a mistake to suppose that it is to settle down in idleness. 1 be messenger who brought the aoove intelligence to Washington, reports that to-day forty of Mosby's guerrillas were captured near Fairfax station.
