When the Union "exigted, Che Constitution gave no right to * tbe President or Congress to free the slavea. Kraancipation was the thunderbolt in the hands of the President to destroy the social organisation of the South at a blow. Mr. Lincoln haa assumed the right to launch, without the power to enforce his decree. The North must conquer every square mile of the South before it cad make the proclamation of more effect than merely a waste of paper." The New York Tribune, of the 20th, in an editorial, says:?"The last advices from ?nrope render it morally certain that France and Great Britain will recognize the Southern Confederacy on or about the 1st of January next provided the situation shall remain unchanged till that time. In other words, if our armies gofato winter quarters without achieving further and more decisive successes, Western Europe flies to the rescue of the rebels." The Washington correspondent of the same paper writes: "Ladies here of rebel proclivities^ who are on intimate terms with the Belgian Legation confidently assert that Belgium is about to recognize the Southern Confederacy* and that her example will be followed by the larger Powers of Europe." Commercial advices from New York show that a strong impression exists among the lead, ing merchants that a termination of the war will ultimately occur from a financial crisis and the consequent confusion in the North. The Secret of the Failure of the Marylaud Compaign. The following is extracted from the Washington correspondence of the Chicago Tribune: General Lee's military operations in Maryland have failed only for the want of troops. If^at the decisive moment, on Wednesday, he had had 10,000 fresh troops to hurl against Burnside at the bridge of Antietam, the day would have been lost to us, our army would have been annihilated, and Gen. Lee would have remained in Maryland. I do not make this statement at random. I know what I say is true; and the history of the battle, when it comes to be written, will show it to be so. How many troops do you suppose General Lee had in Maryland altogether ? 150,000 ? 100,000? He had, to fight the battle of Antietam, just fifty-six thousand combatants; not a man more* 1 know that fact positively; and this included 1 the troops that had fought at Harper's Ferry, and captured that palcc on the 15th. < The divisions of Jackson, Walked, and A. P. Hill left Harper's Ferry on Monday afternoon crossed the Potomac on the pontoon bridge^ marched all Monday night, got into position, and rested on Tuesday, and were ready to fight, and did fight at Antietam, on Wednes' day. Moreover, the artillery ammunition of the Confederates gave out during the afternoon of the 17th, and they fired out their cannon pieces of railroad iron about eighteen inches long. Scores of these missiles were found on the field of the 18th. The Expected Attack on Charleston?A New Version of an Old Story.?The city gossips, yesterday, were all agog over the statements of a deserter from the Yankee fleet named Alexander Russell, who had just reached the city. Ho claims to have overheard, in the conversation of Yankee officers, that Charleston is to be attacked between the 1st and 10th of November, that the naval demonstration is to made by a very large and powerful fleet, including two iron-clads, and that reinforcomonts, ' about 17,000 strong, arc daily expected to par-, Iticipate in the land attack. He adds, that the officers of the enemy are by no means sanguine of taking Charleston, and says that the opinion prevails amongst them that the disappointment resulting from an unsuccessful attempt would go far towards giving an effective impetus to the cauae of the Peace Party. We give th*se statements to our readers for whatever they may be worth. Russell is a British subject, and says ho was enlisted in the enemy's service by fraud. He was attached to the Yankee vessel Isaac P. Smith, oft Stono; and being sent ashore in company with nine others to kill some beeves, he watched his chance and skedaddled to our lines.*- Mercury, V November 16^ P ' EXTRA PllfE VIRGIN IA TOBACCO 1BAVE OX HAXP LARGE 8UPP1Y0F A j superior trttal* of Vm Smoking eeaCbewing To baooo,* which wilt be aoU low broaah, at the "Old Brick Corner,'^ by T. 8.
