T577ch editorially says the teleâ€" grams by the Persia, if they come sub-l stantially'from the Northern Government, do credit to its veracity, inasmuch as’ they proclaim that any decisive advantage over the Confederates, must be postponed until great additions are made to the Federal army. The latest dates are to Jurie 18th in which may be considered the beginning of‘theiumuier heat. Although the pro? bability is that both armies will keep the field, yet there can be but little doubt that the spirit of the campaign will lati- guishiuntill fall, when cool Weather and reinforcements on both sides will allow the struggle to be renewed. The last news represents what may be looked upon as the closing scenes of the spring catnâ€" paigtic. “Though the Federals have so manymdréfmeh,“and such a vast army, and the greatest resonrcns, they invariably de- scribe themselves as outnumbered by thei Confederates. Halleck and McClellan ut- ter the same complaint. Food and pow- der must, have been the cry of the Confedâ€" erate force, wliichnuinbering 120,000 at Corinth, and being equal if not superior, to the force opposed to it, was yet obliged to retreat southward and is now posted in de- creased numbers at Grenada. Kentuclo ians and 'l‘ennessceans might argue, that since their own States have been abandonâ€" ed and fallen under the yoke of the Fede- rals,'they have no further interest' in de- fending the Cotton States, to which they were bound by ties of allegiance, btit the diminished army must have been mainly caused by the difficulty of procuring food. The Times adds that the superior numâ€" bers and resources of the North we look upon in the end as certain to prevail ; but who eairsec the resolution: evinced by the South, the. iinmenee army it puts in the field, and the tenacity with which it dis- putes every position, without feeling that the war is likely to drench the territory of he Union with much more blood. It winds up by hoping that some means may be devised for bringing this unnatural conâ€" flict to a close. The damning IIcraZcZ contends that a restoration of the Union would be a cala- mity not only to Europe and England, but for the Northfi 1t declares that the Uni- on had become a nuisance among the naâ€" tions. Secession is favorable to England. Deep interests would have justified inter- ference before this, find not internal moralâ€" ity forbid it. liven now iftlicre ivero any hope of an early settlement no one would dream of interfering. As the matter stands, however. the Ilene/(l thinks it is time that some decided action should be taken by France and England in behalf of justice and humanity, as well as or the pro- tection of their half ruined ti‘ianufactories and hungry operatives. tjiich action must be taken, at. least, as llllllOShfblc things can- not longer be allowed. ft is most impio-l bable that there will be any change in the aspect of American affairs, that Will bring- "us any relief anti if we are to net after Gil, it will be saving needless misery to act at once» with gentleness and courtscy, but ivith immovable firmness in words. 1 Lord. Chelmstord asked it Edwin James should be allbwed to retain his patent as Queen754 Counsel. The Chancellor said that Mr. James had given notice ofappenl to the Judge from the decision of the benches, but as, he had taken no steps to carry it out, he (the Cunncdlor),had decided that it was not desirable that he should longer enjoy any honour under. the Crown.

The misroprosontntion or the mistake lies in this, that the advo- cates of Separate Schools maintain that in the Common Schools the instruction is Godless, and immo- ral. ft is vain to assure them that reverence for God, for truth and for virtue. can be inculcach as well by a conscientious teacher employed by the whole people as by a sect. ft is also vain to remind them that it is far more probable that a trachcr subjected to the supervision of a whole district is more likero to be Upright and faithful and just in his vocation than one who is only the hireliug subordinate of the miâ€" nister. or of a petty narrow-minded and often bigoted clas.

The Era and the Examiner appear to row in the same boat just now, and are congenial spirits, worthy of each other. It cannot be expected that we should be deterred, by the abuse of Such sheets, frbm following the even tenor of our way. knowing, as we do, that our opinions are approâ€" ved by the well-thinking and in- fluential electors of that wealthy and important Division. Ofcourse we cannot silence the insolent rav- ings of these twin brothers,â€" prompted, as they are by jealousy ;, the true course to take with them is simply to let them bowl on until they are frowned down by an in- telligent public, which will, ere long, consign them to that obscurity from which they should never have emerged. ' wwmp 'w ...__.- MoltIaster wishes to Retiré. .â€"â€"- No better proof could be given of Mr. Gamble’s success in the coming election than the earnest desire ex- pressed by Mr. McMaster at the meeting at’Newmarket, to retire from the contest. And, according to the Era's account of the affair, it was only at the reiterated requests of his friends that he has consented to go to the polls. Mr. McMaster is generally considered prudent, and is able to see as well others that his chances of being elected are exceedingly doubtful. ll is stated that his business affairs are of so pressing a nature, that he is unable to “give that personal at- tention to his canvass that he feels the people have a right to expect.’ This may be quite correct. It probably true that his business mat- ters are too numerous to allow him time to go around and see the elec- tors, Or his prospects are so discour- aging that he prefers a timely re- tirement to a defeat. Now if Mr. McMaster’s private business is of such an urgent nature that he can- not spare a few days among the people, before the election, is there not good reason to believe that, should he be elected the same cause will operate to prevent him from of. lending to public business as a mem- ber of the Upper House. If he unwilling to spare time now, when he is seeking to be honored by a seat in the Legislature, is it to be expected that. he will be more li- beral in devoting his timeto the public good after he has attained tothat elevation. The plea. that one of his {partners is sick may do very well when the object is to make a safe retreat. But we. warn the electors in the event of his go- ing to the poll, to look to their own interests, and not elect a man who is likely to consider his private "in- tcrests of more consequence than those of the public. Mr. h‘chastcr is quite Willing, it appears, to ac- copt the honor of being your repre- sentative, but don‘t give him any trouble about. your affairs. lie is willing enough to accept the title of honorable, which is now it] your gift, but, N. is too much to expect him to leave his warehouse for a wockweveu to ask your suffrngcs. \Ve warned the electors, some time ago, that Mr. l\lcl\’1asicr, havingr during a long lifetime had his mind absorbed in the narrow rou- tine of the counting-house, has nef lS ther taste our capacity for public‘ business; and he is early proving that we were quite right.

(To file Editor of the York Herald.) SIR,'â€"'i‘llt: poor editor of the Browns- vdle Eamon/(er appears of late to be in a fearful state of mental agitation. lie is apparently laboring under the iriipression that somebody has serious designs upon his life. His case is truly pitiable, and must excite the syi'npatliies of the benevo- lent. At the Conservative convention, which nominated Mr. Gamble to stand for the Midland Division, a certain Edwards was appointed secretary. The silectioii of Mr. (iambic was almost unanimous, so nearly so, indeed, that the secretary alone voted against llflll. Now this secretary has the vanity to think that his opinion is i of more Value than that of all the other deâ€" legates put together; and finding that his subsequent conduct is looked upon by the (lionservative party as shabby and content» tiblc, he conjures up a host of imaginary persecutors, who. he affirms, are attack- ing him in all possible shapes. To hear his sad tale of grievances One would ima- gine that he was a veritable martyr. He says (through his paper) that he has been ‘ assailed With every imaginable weapon of abuse and slander,’ and declares, doubtless with the intentiOn of creating atiizizement, that he has been ‘visited by gentlemen who have intimated dire llOnlllll)’ l’ Yes, ‘ dire hostility l’ and ‘ Visited by gentle- ,ineul’ Was erer anything so outrage- ousl He must certainly be in bodily fear. Would it not be an advisable pre- lcaution to Wear a suit of armour beneath his clothirie‘, as Cromwell did when in dread of assassination? That Browns- ville iiihst be a dreadful place for poor ediv tors. ‘To reiterate,’ he continues, ‘the pretty names we have been called, Would fill the paper.’ And again, he has receiv. ed private letters full of gall.’ Oh dear, what a tleptb of affliction. This is literâ€" rally the gall of bitterness? Just pause. gentle reader, and contem- plate, for a moment, the sad and pitinblc condition of the patriot of the Examiner. ‘Assailed with every imaginable weapon: threatened with dire hostility. called pretty sufficient to fill a paper; and visited by gentlemen.’ Doubtless this touching ap- peal has, ere this, elicited an outburst of public sympathy. Could not a few charib able individuals be found who wou.d vo- lunteer to protect the poor fellow from threatened danger? Such a recital of suffering must, of course. move the most obtlurate. We can imagine how the caiiibrics would be brought into requisi~ tion over the perusal of this sad tale of suffering. Do pity the sorrows of a poor editor. But like the rcdoubtable Don Quixotic, he is afraid of nothing. Mounted on his iosinante (the Examiner) he is ready for a tilt with any enemy, from a windmill to a lion. t We are of the wrong metal,’ says he. ‘ever to be bullied to do wrong.’ it would be interesting to know the kind of metal of which this gentleman is com- posed. f’ossibly brass. further, that to be authorized to dispose of s l The Examiner man is in deadly‘hosti- lity to Mr. Gamble, and those who differ from him on this point he very politely designates curs, barking dogs, and other equally pretty names; and tells them that they might as well expect to gnaw through a file, as by slander or abuse to‘make: him desert from his hostility to Mr. Gamble. in reference to the file, probably he in- tended to say that he was a pretty hard case. But what has Mr. Gamble done to arouse such a terrible ‘ tempest in a tea- pot ?’ Here we have it, all in a nut-shell. Mr. Gamble, it appears, has been guilty of associating with had company. I Will give the charge in the Examiner‘s own words. Itsays: ‘But haying two years since been engaged in a contest en the side of Mr. Gamble, we firmly opine that he does not possess the requisite honesty, honor, or sound judgment, as a political man, requisite to fill so important an office.’ Observe the premises, and- the conclusions. The editor of the E17- aminer firmly opines, that Mr. Gamble does not, possess the requisite ‘honesty, honor. or sound judgment,’ 8%.; and what is the reason '2 Because he (the editor) ‘ was engaged in a contest, on the side of Mr. Gamble, two years ago.’â€"â€"- Now I was certainly unprepared for such a wholesale admission. 1 never im- agined that the contaminating influence of this editor could possibly be so powerful, as to corrupt the morals of Mr. Gamble, merely by being on his side in an election contest. Oh, Edwards ll you are not quite so bad as that l Mr. Gamble’s character for honor, honesty. and capacity is too well known and appreciated, by the people of these Counties, to be affected by the petty at- tacks of the Examiner. Yours, Ste. SHALL BEER. Bond Ilcad, July 9, 1862. ’0‘ (To the Editor of the York Herald.) Sin,--â€"Iii your last week’s issue there is a communication from the Members of the Thornhill hilechriiiics Cricket Club giving an accOunt of a match played beâ€" tween them and the Union Club of Cook’s Corners, in which they have stated. saying ‘ unfortunately the match Was broken tip when the Union men had nearly finished their second innings, by one of their plny~ ers disputing the Umpiie's decision, and refusing to go out when ordered to do so.’ l. beg leave to so ' such was not the case, as he did not rrfuse to go out; and as to his disputing the Uiiipire’s dccision, 1. do not think the cause was sufficient to justify them in leaving the field, or made it more geiitlei’nriiily on their part to give a wrong statement of it, as Well as :i wrong state- merit of the games. ‘ The Union men having won the toss, Went. to the wrcltt-ts and scored 1)] runs, instead ofll‘f) as stated by them.

A Russian decree abolishes the Govern- ment monopoly of salt, and fixes the duty on it at 30 kopecs. An army letter states that a rebel cap- tain taken j’rrisoncr confesses the rebel loss on Friday, at Gaines’ Mill, to be 24,000, and their total loss during the week at; 60,000 to 70,000. Another letter says, a number of our wounded came in, hav- ing been ordered by the rebels to seek their own camp. Our loss now, says this letter, is reduced to under 10,000 men.
