The London Times of June 21st, speaking of the event aayg On Sunday morning, just ai all gnod people wi'is coining dowu to breakfast, an awful Sunday morning's woik was preparing within sight of thn British Isles, il among (bose isles we may include the barren rnck upon which a million has betin spmit to miikii it a sentry box to watch the port of Cherbourg. Fuun the latlar purl, jul about nine o'clock, there issued the Alabama, the ship tliut has struck terror into the heart of the most confidant and almost strongest naval Power in the world. More than a hundred times over the eery name of Alabama, thundered through a tpeak ing trumpet, has brought down the rival flag as if' by magic, and compelled lie luckless ciew to submit to the iugloiioiis process of examination, surrender, spoil aiion and imprisonment to tee then ship plundered and sent to the bottom Iu the shape of cbronometeis and other valuables the Alabama cau iej tho spoiu opima of a whole msicautile fleet. This time, bowuver, it was not to or er a mar chaiitmaii to lie to while his papers were examined that this scourge uf llie federal navy came out of aChrbotirg.

ll is not iour power to say why dipt Semtms, who ba gaiued so much (ilmy and so aa-questionabla a reputation for courage that he could afforl lobe prudent, came out u-ith a ship just returned from a long toy age and much in want ef repair, fen counter a Joe larger, spelter manned, bttter armed, provided, as it turned out, with some sprcial contrivance for protection, nd quite as likely to bo as well handled a his own ship. For many months we have beard of the Kearsarge as a foo worthy of the Alabama should she have the gaod luck to catch her indeed, the captain of the Kearsargo had assumed that if they met time could be only one possible Why, then, did nut Capt. Serames see that this was an occasion for the exrercise of that discretion or that ingenuity which the greatest generals have thought rather an addition lo lhir tame Did- his prudence give way as they say a brave mau's courage will sometimes! Was he wearied teith a uarftre upon defenceless I Did conscience nr selfrexpict suggest that the drsioirr if a hundred unarmtd merchant men had need ta proce his courage and redeem his mime fioirt piracy is ailuply aai I that he had ben challenged, and accepted the challenge, not without soma fore casts of the lesult. As an ordinary duel ist bands bis watch an I his pucket-book to a friend, Captain Seinmes sent en thine bia sixty cbioiiometers the me nientoes of so many easier conflicts his money, and the bills of ransomed vessels. He tiien steamed uiue miles out to ten, and entered into mental combat aith the enemy, first exchanging shots at I he di tance uf little more than a mile out nl all distance our fathers would have called it not so now.

As it happened, and as it frequently happen on such occasions, an English vacht was in the harbor, and its owner. Mr. Lancaster, fhonght the riew of ine of the most import me it nacal engagements liheli to occur in his time was worth the risk of a stray shot. His wife, niece und family were on board but, no doubt, they shared his interest in the spectacle. The firing began just as we Londoners had gut to the first lesson in the morning service.

As the guns of the Alabama had been pointed for two thousand yards.and the second shot went right through the Kearsarge, that was probable the dis tance at first, and we are told the ships were never nearer than a quarter of a mile. The Alabama fired quicker, in all about one hundred and fifty rounds; the Kearsarge fired about one hundred, chief 'v shells. One of these shells-broke the Alabama's rudder, anj compelled her to hoist sail. By tW' time, however, after about an hour's work, the Alabama was sinking, and conld only make the best of her way in the direction of Cherbourg, ruisuing our comparative chronology, this brings us to the beginning of the aud it was at the very time that our congregations were listening, as well as they could, to the arguments or the eloquence of our preachers, that the very moving incidents' of death and of rescue took place off Cherbourg the gradual sinking of the Alabama, the picking up of the drowuing seamen, and the final departure of (be l)ei bound, with Capt. Seaitnes, his surviving officers and some of the crew.

The men were all true to the last; they only ceased firing when the water came into the muzzles of their guns; and as they swam for life all they cared for was that their commander should not fall into federal bands. He reports that he owes Kts lest men to the training they received on board the Excellent. aji Bppear-auca the superiority of the Kearsarge lay partly in her guns, and of course somewhat in ber more numerous crew, but not less, in her more powerful machinery, whitfi enabled her to move quicker and munceucre mart easily. i. We are becoming accustomed to scenes' that only four years ago would have bet thongbt appalling, horrible and porteu-tious.

Think of a quiet gentleman, with wife, niece and family, perhaps governess and maid servants, having witnessed at their ease, on Sunday morning, a fight, not belmen two cocks or two dogs, but two men-of-war, a few hours' sail from Southampton. In they and the survivors of the ship destroyed were walking about Sonthampton aBd shopping on Monday There appears to have been a very allowance of killed, wounded and missing, and j.w,. ia supposed lo liavejotm to the iin in thn midst of his bleeding haiienta We ahull know vmy aharllv what chain hung ouisid 1 lie Keuraarge saved her men. To all spp-arance they did not and but for the melancholy faet sutne of the Alabama's woumUd mutt have down with her, the loss would piuhably have boaii nerly tha same an bolli aidea. Is there not somnhing ami- nans in such an mounter thin our nun sens I iurn a cuntnl, so brief, so hard fi'veht, und to derisive, it rrtn more ter- limn the hand to hand tuttle.

and iir rnrrr gume nj psit' ujfs Mar our old fieets used indulge in ith a thousand popguns on either side. 1 rue, there was damage done at last, but snitieiimra vary Utile damage to spask of, and a big ship alight leceive many hund.ed (hots only to have the glory of showing the almt. holes to tho papulae of Portsmouth, not so now. At the distance of a milt, nrrerrs than a quar'tr of a mile a for-midnhle ship, the terror of American commerce, urll coined, irrll manned, well handled, is sent to the bottom in etn hour. Exactly an hoar rlapaad fiota the first shot t.i the rnomtut when it became obvious that the vessel was sinking, when, indeed the rudder was broke and (lis fires were put out.

7Vior is the pace at uhich-our nacat engagements will he fought fur the future, la this instance the pace was all tha quicker because tbo guus had start of the ships, the guns being the new artillery, tht ships wodrn, excepting the chains of the Kearsarge, if thay constitute an exception. The next duel in the British channels will probably be between two rr.is's of the Warrior class; ami he rnutt he a hold man te'io omn be sure that it il last us long as Sunday morning service or be less decisive than the last Sundai's. f-'rranaml Im rvw rk. The Fremont rat. ficatioa meeting look placo at the Cooper Institute in New Yoik, ou Monday evening of last week.

The New York papers spaak of it as a very large and spirited meeting. The Xetcs says Cooper Institute was crammed urght say suffocatingly cramma-H last evening by an audience which assembled to ratify the nominations of Fremont and Cocbiane. The hall was handsomely decorated with flags, and with banatrs hen ine; inscriptions; among which weie a largo umber denouncing the aibitrary arrests, the violations of the Constitution, and the infi inement of personal liberty made by the pitiaut Administration." The resolutions declare that the federal Union shall be preserved that the Constitution and laws must besapprescel by force of arms, aed wiihout compromise that the rights of free speech, free press, and the habeas corpus must be held inviolate, save where martini law is proclaimed that the rebellion has destroyed slavery, and that an amendment to the Constitution muit be adapted to prevent its re-establishment.

Great ap planse.J Let me sum up In a few words what I have to aay. 1 oppose the re-election Mr. Lincnln, because I believe it to be incompatible with the safely of this I believe him be ut'erly incompetent for the position which he because I have made i a rule thrsugli my life never to believe in tha honeity of a man who has the sobriquet of "boa-est." I remember Honest JobtwDavi of and I remember a speech maae to him by Henry" Clay, who was of. kit own party. When Mr, Davie had excluded a speech in the Senate, Mr.

Clay went up ta him, looked biro, in the face, arid said, "Honest John Davis, Cannie John Davis." He went away and look his seat. Whenever you find a man wbo has the expression or sobriquet of honest, or cannie, attached to bia naiae, lis is a fox. Theie is not a more cunning man ia this country than Abraham Lincoln. Yon talk against 'Iiir Cabinet, it is all idle. Give Abraham ii0'5 any Cabinet, and the policy of the Administration will not change.

Some pretend that Gen Grant nsvor was stiictly party man. This is not so. Gen. Grant has always been a linn Drmorr.iJ. In I860 he was an out and out Old Hunker democrat, aud as ardent an abolition hater as there was nerth of Mat.no ami Dixon's line.

He was a member uf the National Democratic Convention which nominated Buchanan, and voted evaiy time for llie hardahell delegation from New York. And those who aro intimate with Gen. Grant and hisvieus now assure us that lie hates abolitionism as intensely as (It!) Signal. Gen. Grant has voted but twice.

II a was a citizen ol Missouri, and voted for Claib. Jackson, for Governor. He voted for Bachanan for President. He moved from Missnuiito Galena, III. Ha was an eutbuhiastie Douglas man and expoct-ed to vote for him, but when the election came off he had not been in the Slate a year, and thus lost his vote.

That he "hates abolitionism as intensely as ever" is undoubtedly true, and it is nosimpos-etblo that he may yet he the means of giving the object of his hate its eternal death blow. George Francis Train lectured in New York on Monday evening for the benefit of the soldiers. In the course of his lecture he said "It is my earnest belief that if Mr. Lincoln is re-elected in November, in less than sixty days he would acknowl edge the Southern Confederacy (hisses). He, (the speaker), would hiss too, bat it appeais to bint that it is going that way, Mr.

Lincoln said at Chicago that he would not touch slavery. But he did. "Oh," says Mr. Lincoln, "I follow pu-lic sentiment." Ah, that iw bis motto. There are two parties.

Would they like to hear about the two parties? "Yes, yes." There is the copperhead party for the Constitution, the Union and the laws, and the other party, the miscegenetic party, composed of longhaired men and 6hort-haired women, men who part their hair in the middle, and women both of the strong minded kind a party composed of all th isms and ologies aud theories of the last forty years.

They believe that a paternal Government should act as agent, instead of putting every drafted mau at the mercy of miserac ble traders in white men.

1)EJAMIN, Dcnlli hnrlea U. Kditor Rutland Courier The following letter is from Eugene 12. Mend, brother of Charles B. Mead, giving an account of the burial of his brother, a nolico of whose death appeared in your last issue, copied from the Herald. And here allow me to add my humble tribute to the memory of one whoso noblenessof soul, dignity and manliness of character, canbd him high above his fellows, and yet so retiring, so modest was ho that he knew it not.

Said he to me, as he left for the scene of have lived too long if I outlive my country. If I fall, I full in her defense." He has fallen, he has bsaid the but alarm drum beat, he has fought bis last fight and grappled with his last foe. he has received bis furlough anil now he is "marching with angels with bright laure's on his brow." It may he pleasant for us (if aught in deat is pleasant) to lay our lost loved ones away to their last long sleep in somequigt, grassy, leaf embowered nook, ''far away in the wood where ti wild birds are singing, and the shadowy pines at the even tide moan where we may plant flowers in spring time, aud is summer water them with onr tears, and iu autumn feel that the rustling leaves are stirred by the flitting of angel wings, and kuow that the spirits of our loved ones are smiling down upon us out of their star-lit homes. But how far different bury a friend, and that friend an own brother, away in a strange and hostile land, and at night with the darkness lit up by the flashing of cannon and bursting of shell. Truly, a scene so grand and solemn might well claim the attention of the poet and painter; might he chronicled among tho tales of heroes of old.

J. o. c. In thb Brrastworks, June 23d, 1861. Deaii Parents: As I have had some more fighting to do, and knowing you would like to hear all about it, 1 write you.

On the 19th I had some close shooting to do. I shot thirty-five times at level sights, the distance being about fifteen rods. Yesterday we were out on picket, and the rebels flanked us and came' in our rear, and were twice within six rods of us. They ordered me to bait and come ia at two different times and in different places. But though the elmnces were so slim, I pref erred running the gauntlet.

let drive the hissing lead at them and ran. A good many wefe killed ai wouudad, four out of our company, which now numbers hut eighteen men. As 1 did not give you a full account of Charlie's fuueral in my last, I will do so now. It was impossible to bring him off in daylight without the men getting hit. Capt.

Merrymau sent word to me to come in aud pick out a place, I did so and was not shot at but a few times. After making a coffin, and getting things ready, we carrisd him on a' teat piece tied to two rifles. We had no services except the sharp reportt of the shelled guns, and the shrieking of the en-emits' shells, as they burst, scattering their hissing fragments all around us. The Company stood around the grave, they bad faced death withottta quickening pulse, bad not moved at a passing, shrieking shell, but now the tears rolled down their pnwder-blackehed faces. I want you should bury Chailie at bcsit; be was as brave a soldier as ever faced a foe.

Inasmuch as the Herald is opposed to the execution of the laws, it is to be hoped that all the decency, honesty, virtue and morality," may be brought to justice by the town Grand Juror, and that tho Justice iu the case do justice in the matter, regardless of the "excitement on Merchant's liow," or on Washington Street. Yolr I'lvn and mv Plan- In July, 18i2, left 45,000 sen around Washington, 42,000 at Fredericksburg, aud as many more in the Shenandoah Valley under Banks and Shields, while he was allowed only S.1,000 men of the 150,000 promised, to take Richmond. Lincoln's "plan' has been adopted in July, 1S64, and the result is that Washington to-day, is in more daa-ger than Richmond, as onr whole army is nearly all before Petersburg and the militia of New York and Pennsylvania to the numbor of 36,000 are ordered out to save Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Harrisbni from capture arid from being burnt to the ground. Yet "my plan" we are told, is better than Gen.

McClellan's plan. Political piide is one of a nation's most inflexible enemies. Men of priuciple are not always the principal wen. Politicians are never more easily divided than when insidiously attempting to de'eieve ot corrupt others. There is a nest of politicians clean in their owu estimation, bnt yet as filthy as the sow that wallows in the mire.

The fact is, Mr.

Herald, the nigger-heads, won't fight if they can avoid it, and they are cunning enough to keep the right side of Democrats, whenever more men are called for. The State of New York has sent over 300,000 men to the war. This force alone, is 225,000 more than President Lincoln required, three years ago, to put down the rebellion that rages with greater fury now than then. We belrive were a million additional men given this administration to-morrow, it would be unavailing. Nothing but a change of men aad measures eaa now save the country from utter aud irretrievable ruin.

Notwithstanding this nsuiancc, the old boys of our regiment are discharged, and we era kept. The President says, that there are so many enlisted ia that way, that he does not think it best to discharge them, You aee, therefore, that justice cannot be rendered to ns on account of there being so many of us.
