IAMPEN, SO. CA., FRI
Highly Interesting News from the
Northern Papers.
We have Northern newspapers of dates ai
late as October 28, from which we make a
summary:
EUROPEAN INTERVENTION FRANCE AND ENGLAND
.TO DEMAND AN ARMISTICE SPECIFIC
INSTRUCTIONS TO LORD LTON8 ON TBO
SUBJECT?THE CONFEDERACY TO BE RECOGNIZED
IF MEDIATION IS REJECTED.
The most interesting sad important intellj
go nee froar-the North is oontained in the fob
lowing paragraph, which we find in the New
York 2?xpre*8, of the evening of the 26th inst.,
the most trustworthy, it may be remarked, oj
all the Northern journals:
Reliable information has been received in
this city, from semi-official sources in Europe,
that England and France are of entire accord
in regard to their line of conduct towards this
Government Lord Lyons, who was to have
returned ts the United States in the Australasian,
was detained at the last moment by order
of Lord John Russeil, Her Majesty's Secretary
of Foreign Affairs, to await further instructions
in consequence of the President's Abolition
Proclamation. His Lordship's departure
was then fixed for October 26th (last Saturday,)
and on his arrival at Washington he will positively
inform Seward of the programme decided
upon by the European Powers. Instructions
similar to those of the British Minister
will bo forwarded to Count Mercier, the Fiench
Minister at Washington, with the same steamer
which will bring tho English Minister back to
the country.
We are also given to understand that our
Government will soon be informed that England
and France had deeided upon the recognition
of the Southern Confederacy, if the joint
offer* of mediation and armistice to be proposed
to Mf Seward, arc not accepted. - At any rate,
this Government will be duly notified of the
intentions of England and France in this respect,
and as these Powers are fully aware that
any offcrof mediation on the basis of Scperation,
will net for an instant even be listened to
by our Government, united endeavors will then
be made by all the European Ambassadors in
Washington to obtain an armistice of four or
six months between the North and South.
These foreign Governments are under the impression
that if once a cessation of hostilities
can be effected, a calmer spirit will succeed,
which will enable the two sections to negotiate.
The utmost endeavors will bo raado shortly
after Lord Lyons return to Washington, by
the whole corps diplomatique at Washington*
to bring about such an armistice.?Only, then,
when all these offers of mediation and armistice
shall have proved of no avail, vill the
South be recognized simultaneously by England
and France.
Aside from the fact that these Powers would
now look upon the South as a de facto Government,
they fear that an insurrection in the
South as a consequence of the late proclamation
will take place after the 1st of January; and
hence in order to afford protection to their
own citizens residing there, are compelled to
grant protecting power to their agents in the
several Southern cities, which, as things stand
just now, they do not possess. They fear that
the Confederate Government, unrecognized as
it is, may at any time tell their Consuls in
Charleston, Richmond, Savannah, and elsewhere,
that there is no diplomatic relation existing
between the Confederacy and Europe,
and can therefore not permit them to act in a
consider capacity. It is to guard against such
an emergency, and to afford their own citizens
residing in the south ample protection under
the segis of their regularly appointed agents,
that England and France will claim the necersity
of recognizing the new Confederacy,
Thk uwquitous George.?The Fredericksburg
iVeiw of October 28 says: Geo. N, Saunders,
late Commissioner to Europe, who smug'
gled himself into Canada, has returned to
Richmond, and brings intelligence of an early
recognition of the Confederacy by the powers
of Europe.

DAY, NOVEMBER 7, 18<
' ,
, The ElecllfHi,
v In the New York Herald of the 21st instant,
y we find the following under the editorial head:
I A. ,L. ?- - - -
xib iue ejection returns come to ft and tlic
overthrow of the Republican party at the polls
appears to be more overwhelming. It is, in
' Jact, the greatest political revolution that over
1 took place in the country, not excepting even
' mat in Jackson's time, and at the election of
Harrison. In Penbsylvania the State ticket is
parried by the Democracy, and the popular,
S Branch of the State Legislature to such an extent
as to secure a majority on joint ballot, so
> that the defeat of Wilmot for another term
f in the United States Senate is a foregone conclusion.
To squelch the author of the frcesoil
proviso, which has had so much to do with tho
i calamities of the nation, is a blow struck in the
right place?a retribution which harmonizes
> with the fitness of things. Grow is. also fortu*1
ftately numbered with the defunct. Thaddeus
Stevens would.have i^so shared the same fate,
had not Mr. Buchanan and the sympathizers
with secession appeared as his prominent opponents.
The revolution in Ohio is still more
extraordinary. Tho Democratic majority in
that State is eighteen thousand?being a gain
of fifty thousand. Among the defeated is
Bingham; and the notorious Wade has not the
ghost of a chance of re-election to tho United
States Senate?another just retribution, over
which the friends of law and order and of constitutional
rights will rejoice everywhere
throuhout the land. In Indiana the Democrats
eloctcd the State ticket and a majority of
both houses of the Legislature, which will give
a Democratic Senator for the vacancy caused
by the expulsion of Bright. It is only in Iowa
that the Republicans have held their ground,
because, fiom the distance of that State, political
light reaches it more slowly, and because
'
Iito iLuuvici is muro uiHtuiit irom me scat Of
war.
1 The strength, volume and rapidity of the
popular current will be indicated still more
i clearly in November, when tho elections in
New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Michigant
Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Massachusetts will
take place.?There can be little doubt that at1
I least New York, New Jersey and Illinois will
follow the example of Pennsylvania. Ohio and
I Indiana; and we would not be surprised to sec
even old Massachusetts reject Andrew for Governor,
and elect such a State Legislature as will
: send Sumner to the tomb of Capulets. It is
beyond a question that the next Congress will
be Democratic, and that there will be a clear
conservative majority against the Republican
party. Is it not time for Mr. Secretary Stanton
to be moving again in the work of arresting
heretical Democrats? He must begin this
work at or.ee, and not confine it to such intractables
as Horatio Seymour and Fernando Wood,
but shut up in Fort Lafayette three hundred
and fifty thousand Democrats, or they will
seize the State of New York in November.
The Pre 88.?The Richmond Enquirir
speaking of the common notion that everybody
has a right to publish what he pleases, at the
publisher's expense and not his own, says, very
forcibly:
The press is only free to its editors, and to
those whom its editors believe to- have good
ground for addressing the public, and something
to say which the public has an interest
in hearing. We would recommend those who
labor under this mistake to consider the following
fact: that newspapers are made for the
large class who read, and not for. the small
class who want to write. The idea that when
a man subscribes for a newspaper, he lays its
proprietor under some obligation, or that he
has a right to publish his communications
therein with the single proviso that they shall
be unoffensive, is a popular fancy and a most
ridiculous mistake, which onght to be corrected.
Not only has he no such right, bnt the
editor who permits him to pot uninteresting
matter in his columns infringes upon the rights
of four or five thousand other peent* to gratify
the one individual* Very few editors act so
absurdly.

Turn Mokstjcr Guns for tbb Iron-olads.?
In an article ridiculing the Warrior as a
specimen of English iron-clads, and comparing
her with tlioso of the United States the New
York Herald bays:
But the Nrvj Department have prepared
guns far more powerful than the famous elevenilich.
The "Paawiift last Mnnilo? ?*?
? -w IVVVtTlAI IftlllV
ber massive turret a fifteen-inch Dahlgren, a
magnificent smooth-bore gun, weighing 42,200
.pounds?by far the largest gun afloat. The
whole of our Monitor fleet will be armed-with.
this tremendous ordnance. How will the
Warrior, with her four and a half inch armor
plating, come out of a contest with our ironclads
thus armed? The fifteen-inch shot, with
a moderate charge, will not only pierce, but
shatter, the slight Warrior armor. Tho great
ship, then, will have to depend on her superior
speed fer safety. But in a contest with our
largest iron-clads, of the Dictator type, which
carry relatively a greater motive power than
any ship ever built, flight will not avail. These ,
ships, moreover, have side armor of ten and a
half inches thick, with four feet backing of oak,
while the turrets are fifteen inches thick, composed
of plates and forged slabs. There are
substantial reasons for believing that the Dictator
will prove a dictator.
uThe Pfack Proposals a Forgery."?The
Herald's Washington letter thus disposes of - **
the peace proposal said to have been made by \
General Lee to the Yankee Government: * *
It is now definitely ascertained that the alleged
"peace proposals," said to have been
made by Gen. Lee to our Government, during
the first days of the invasion of Maryland, and
about which so many rumors have recently
been in circulation, are nothing but an ingenious
forgery?most probably the work of some
stock speculator who was seeking "operato
for a rise. That such proposals were believed
to have been received here there is abundant
evidence, not merely in tho press of the North
bat in that of the South, the Savannah Republican
and Charleston Mercury, having made
copious allusions to the subject. From these
facts, and other evidence attending the receipt
of tho documents by the Secretary of State,
there is no doubt that the whole thing is a
hoax, played by some officer in the rebel army,
perhaps by way of a "feeler" for Northern sentiment.
But that tho thing itself is a forgery
is made manifest, both by certain blundees
which the rebel general could not possibly have
committed, and also by a comparison of his
pretended signature with the old signatures on
file iu the War Department
A Frightful Accident.?A frightful accident
occurred a few days siuce, on the mountain
road, near Warner'* Farmr A tm
y ?- J.W. ? * V..J. AA 111 mu U1
Federal army wagons going np the long and
narrow cut on the Eastern side of the mountain,
was met by a train coming down. The mules
in the down drain took fright, and, becoming
nnmanageble, dashed down the mountain at a #
frightful speed, and crowding the up train off
the road, hurled the wagons, mules and drivers
over a steep rocky precipice of a perpendicular
height varying from fifty to one hundred
feet. Over and over rolled the great wagons
and teams, crashing and crushing, and breaking,
into fragments, and tearing to pieces until the
whole train lay at the foot, and scattered along
the side of the mountain, a mass of frightful
ruin. ,
