CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. The accompanying message was telegraphed to Halifax after the departure of the Asia from Boston, and con- tains two days' later news. The Washington Star says It is believed that Gene- ral Lee has divided his army into two large corps, one uuder Jackson, the other under Longstreet, and is leaving the region in which he has been posted since re-crossing the river into Virginia. It is thought that portions of Jackson's advance have crossed the Blue Ridse by the Gap at Front Royal, while there is evidence that a force of 8,000 rebels under Walker, known to have been for two days past at Uppperville, are the advanced guard lof Longstreet's corps. The rebel generals expected probably to make a successful dash at General Siegcl'g corps, at and around Contreville, on their retreat towards Gordonsville; hence the appearance there of the troops at the points indicated above. The army of the Potomac is promptly in motion to meet these rebel movements, and, Generals Burn- side and Fitz-John Porter are already so close on the heels of Longstreet's army. that he will pro- bably retrace his steps towards Winchester, and seek to retreat down the valley rather than advance further in this direction. It will not therefore, be surprising tu hear of a considerable battle in that quarter at any moment. The whole Federal army with the exception of General Sumner's corps, which remains on Bolivar Heights, may be said to be in motion. General Burnside's movement into Virginia has been followed by the eorj s of Fitz-John Porter, which is now in a position to operate if necessary, in the same direction. General M'Clellan's head-quarters are at Berlin, immediately on tae Potomac. The rebel pickets have again appeared opposi:e Sharpsburg, and in front of Charles- town, their artillery and cavalry being visible from Bolivar Heights. The impression increases, however, that the main body of the rebel army has already retreated, and that no rebels will be found at Winchester. It is pretty well known that a considerable force of rebel. has already crossed the mountains through the Gap at Front Royal, and it is believed that a still larger force is passing southwards on the other side tjj the mountains. The fo"ces which have been found in the vicinity of Quicker'* Gap and Upperville are probably watching against an attack on the ftank of the main army, as it stretched towards Gordonsville. Unless Lee's retreat is much further advanced than is probable or possible, it wsuid seem that General M'Clellan has the power, by a vigorous forward movement, aided by a similar advance from Washington, to force Lee to stop and fight before he gains G 'rdonaviile.' The Netv Yoik Times correspondent with M'Clellan's army still continues to assert that the generals surround- ing M Ciellan consider an advance on the rebels at Gor- donsville and Richmond is full of peril, and believe that an approach by the south side of the James River is the only and true route to Richmond, and that, if the matter was left to M'Clellan's own judgment, he would ship the whole army back to the peninsula. Federal General Grunt. officially reports further suc- cesses against the guerillas in different parts of Missouri. General Sherman has issued stringent orders for the government of Memphis. A military commission sits daily to try offenders under the laws of war. Vagrants and disreputable characters are organised into gangs, and set to work in the trenches or on the streets. Citizens are to keep indoors between tattoo and reveille, unless attending church, places of amusement, or necessary business. After midnight, all persons except guards must be in their houses. Assemblages ot negroes are forbidden except by permission of the provost-marshals, General Buell has ordered that all persons who have actively aided rebellion in Kentucky within the last three months shall be arrested and sent out of Kentucky, and forbidden to return. The writ of ,habeas corpus in the case of Mr W. H. Winder, who is confined in Fort Warren, issued by Judge Clifford, of the United States Circuit Court, has not been served, because Colonel Dimmick, commander of Fort Warren, has refused a pass to the fort. A large naval and military expedition is being fitted out for Texas. The expedition is to be commanded by General Banks.. The Republican and Democratic parties are making most vigorous efforts throughout the State of New York to carry the elections. Both parties are nightly holding meetings throughout the county. The contest is very bitter on both sides, and it is supposed the result of the election will be very close. President Lincoln is busily engaged on his message to Congress. A commission has been ordered to assemble at Wash- ington to report upon the plan of the present forts around Washington, and upon the sufficiency of the present defences of the capital. The Federals have destroyed the extensive steam salt works erected by the Confederates at St Joseph's Bay, Florida. Georgia and Fio:'ida reiied upon these works for the supply of salt for the winter's provisions tor their troops No European advices have been received in New York later than those brought by the Australasian last week, and considerable curiosity and suspense exists to hear further of the different intervention projects on foot in Europe. The British steamer Wachuta has been captured by the Federal gunboat Memphis. She was captured, after a full day's chase, off the coast of North Carolina. She threw overboard the greater portion of her cargo, and so strained her engines as to be unable to make steam. The Richmond Despatch says:r Ile fight at Pocata- ligo resulted in a complete victory. Our Jos is 15 killed and 40 wounded. The enemy's total loss is not less than 200 killed and wounded. The enemy's force consisted of six regiments, with one field battery, and two boat howitzers.' Her Majesty's steamers Cadmus and Racer sailed from Fortress Monroe on the 28th instant, to be absent two weeks on a cruise. The steamer Vanderbilt has received her armament, and will leave New York in a few days. Dates from British Columbia are to the 20th instant, according to which the copper mines of Queen Charlotte's Island promise well. The Victoria Colonist alludes to the flourishing condition of the ity, attested by its rapid growth, continued im- provements, and the increasing value of the real estate, and says:—' The mining intelligence is favourable from all parts of British Columbia, aud the prospects of Sticken and Queen Charlotte mines are very bright.' NEW YORK, OCT. 30 (EVENING). The whole army of the Potomac is in motion towards Virginia. The accounts of the position of the Confederate army in Virginia are conflicting. Nothing positively definite appears to be known. The correspondents of the Northern journals report that the Federal forces were landed from fifteen trans- ports and gunboats at Mackay's Point, for an attack on the Charleston and Savannah Railroad. The Federals proceeded nine miles inland, driving the Confederates from three different positions. The Con- federates were then reinforced from Charleston, and the Federals retreated. The Federa) loss was very heavy. The committee, composed of the best Union men in Baltimore, which was appointed to report on the charges of official disloyalty and corruption, has been broken up by General Wool, and its members have been arrested. The Govenor of Maryland has gone to Washington, to demand the release of the members. The arrest has caused much excitement. ——.— A NEW SUBSTITUTE FOR COTTON.—The Governor General of Canada has communicated to the Botanical Society specimens and seeds of a new fibre plant from the Rocky Mountains. The plant, commonly known as the silk weed, has been determined to be an asclepias, and is now under experiment in the Botanic Garden at Kingston, C.W. Dr Hart, the discoverer ofthe plant, ip a com- munication addressed to Lord Monck, explaining the mode of cul'ivation of the plant, says :—' ^ts fihre or staple is longer1 and firmer than cotton, and of a gloss no silk or satin can match. During ten years I have planted cotton in Yazoo, Mississippi Valley, my brand was sought by the Liverpool and Manchester speculator, a.nd brought the highest prices, and on that practical experience I ground my convictions with regard to the silk weed. The Kingston Whig, in recommending its cultitation in Canada, observes:—'Who knows but this fibre, plant, silk weed, or asclepias, may, from its hardiness, glossiness, and fibrous texture, yet take the place of cotton, which ceuld not grow in Canada, lying so far north as it does. But this plant, borne from the heights of the Rocky Mountains, may find a more congenial home in the less rigorous climate of Canada.'—Educational Times.

LORD MAYOR'S DAY. The great civic event of the year was celebrated on Mon- day with the usual 'pomp and circumstances.' Taken in connection with the coming of age of the Prince of Wale-, causing something like a general holiday, the event hrunirht to'.T''t'">r an immense assemblasre of people of all clashes. The bells rang out their merry peals at different periods ot the day, and throughout'the route of the procession a great many of the houses were gaily adorned with flags and appropriate devices. The route of the procession was as follows: — Starting from Guildhall about half past eleven o'clock, the pageant passed along Gresham Street and Saint Ann's Lane into Saint Martin's-le-Grand, thence along Cheap- side, the Poultry, King William Street, and Cannon Street, as far as Queen Street, when it made a detour into Upper Thames Street, passing through Queenhiihe, the ward of the Lord Mayor elect, and then emerging by liarl Street into Bridge Street, B'ackfriars. Thence it pro- ceeded along Fleet Street and the Strand, to Westminster. The Volunteer movement, with which the Lord Mayor elect has identified himself from the very first, was duly represented in the procession, of which also one hundred picked men of the Naval Reserve formed part. On this occasion the ordinary men in armour, who are usually the objects of a mixed feeling of pity and merriment, were substituted by a cavalry escort, clad in suits of the finest armour from the Tower of London. The City of London Rifle Brigade, in which the Lord Mayor elect holds the ranks of Major, joined the procession at Temple Bar on its return from Westminster, and accompanied it as a guard of honour to Guildhall, where the usual ban- qiiet was given in the evening with all the accustomed splendour. v EXPLOSION OF A LOCOMOTIVE AND Loss OF THREE LIVES.—Shortly after six o'clock on Saturday morning a. terrible explosion of one of the stupendous broad-gauge railway engines, known as the Great Western Railway, causing the deaths of three unfortunate men on the spot, and so frightfully injuring a fourth that but little hopes are entertained of his recovery, besides causing a large amount of damage. The Perseus which was about twelve years old, was used as a pilot engine for goods trains, and was detached for taking out a goods train on Saturday morning. The fire had been lighted, and the steam was up for this purpose. About a quarter past six two men, named Jam s Aldted and James Wilson, were- on the engine cleaning it, when the boiler suddenly exploded with a loud report, and with such a tremendous shock that the engine ilself made ajump nearly six yards. In an instant the shed was filled with steam, and portions of the roof, windows, and wall were blown down the rush of steam rendering it impossible for a few minutes to see what bad happened. The bodies uf the two deceased men were picked up, one under the engine and the other some yarfts off, with their clothes and limbs torn, and quite dead. Two other men who were at the time at work cleaning the adjoining engine, named James Thompson and Joseph Bishop, were also fiund fearfully scalded and frightfully i-rj-ircd. The two latter were at once conveyed to Saint Mary's Hospital, where Thompson expired on Saturday afternoon. So great was the shock, that some portions of the engine passed through the roof, and were found at a distance of a hundred and thirty yards, and portions of one of the poor fellow's limbs were also found scattered about at great distances. Up to the present time no cause can be assigned for the explosion as, although an old engine, the Perseus is stated to have been capable of sustaining a pressure on her boiler of one hun- dred and twenty to the square inch. It is valued at about £ 2,000. The engine adjoining is also considerably injured, having its chimney blown nw ty, and some of its upper portions stove in by the debris of the Perseus being dashed against it by the violence of the shock. FEARFUL TRAGEDY.—A man, who gave his name as Thomas Hogan, from Athy (and from his appearance one would be led to the conclusion that he is one of those persons who ramble from union to union), was taken up on Saturday evening for being drunk and disorderly, and lodged in the lock-up. All appeared to be silent as usual, and the Bridewell presented that appearance when the keeper was going his last rounds that usually draws fcrih from the inspector the gratifying expression, All right, I may go to rest.' At four o'clock a m. the Bridewell keeper, whose name is Smith, was aroused by hearing dreadful screams issue from Hogan's cell; and that func- tionary, with his usual diligence, went at once to ascertain the cause of the piteous groaning, and on opening the door of the cell he was completely suffocated from the dense fog of bmoke that blasted into his face when the door had been opened. After the lapse of a few seconds Smith found his way into the cell, and there lay Hogan on some straw that was blazing all round him, screaming in a dreadful manner. The police were immediately alarmed, and constable Sherwood, with Sub-constable Finn, were soon at the scene of the conflagration, and succeeded in extinguished the flames. Dr. Potter was then called on, as also the relieving officer. The doctor, after administering the required relief to the patient ordered him to be taken to the hospital. Since the fore- going was written, we have learned that death has put an end to his sufferings of Hogau. He lingered until Monday evening, in intense agony, when the vital spark fled-not, as we learn,, as much from the effects of the burning, as from the suffocation he had to endure in a dark, close, and ili-ventilated cell. It has also transpired that the deceased some time before he was heard scream- ing begged of the Bridewell keeper to allow him to go out to some fire to warm himself, but his request having been refused, and he, having matches in his pocket, set fire to the straw in the following way: He gathered a small por- tion into one corner of the cell some distance lrom the large heap and then set it on fire, but no sooner was the flame kindled than by some unknown circumstances the large heap was set on fire. The prisoner then contrived with hia hands to extinguish the flames, and the scorch- ing of his hands, ears, and face may be accounted for by this fact.-Kilkenny Journal. A SANGUINARY BULL FIGHT.—The circus at Saragosaa has just been the scene of a sanguinary drama. On San- day last the place-was full, and two toreadors of secon- dary rank, but very popular as natives of the city, named Joaquin Gil Knd Perez, made the customary sslute and offered to kill the bulls in honour of the president and the assembly. The first animal was cleverly Jtilled by Perez, the second was a Portuguese animal, very vicious, cunning, and strong. He received the fatal blow from Gil, but at the same moment he to!sed the unhappy man into the air received him upon his horns, which entered deep into the body, and threw him to the ground senseless, and then fell dead by the side of his victim. The third bull was also a Portuguese. The toreaders were under a state of terror difficult to describe. The picadors would scarcely touch him. Fierce in the middle of the arena, he seemed to defy the banderilleros, who at great risk fixed two or three firebrands to his neck, in order to excite him. From paiu and noise the bull became furious. The task of killing him fell to Perez, who advanced with hesitation, and seemed only able to strike feebly "with his sword. The president called to him, and pressed to have the bull's legs cut with the demi-lune (an immense scythe fixed on a pole), but Perez refused this proposition, which is considered to involve disgrace to a toreador. He returned to the fight. The bull threw itself upon him in vain he cast at it the muletta in red cloth the bull paid no attention to it, and followed him. But be seized the barrier, and in loping over it threw his sword at the bull's front. It struck the bull in the face, and, by a strange fatality re- bounded and penetrated the thigh of the poor toreador, cutting it to the bone. The blood ran in torrents from an open artery. The unhappy man was carried away, aid the demi-lune was then employed. Two hind tegs of the beast were cut; but even then upon its stumps it appeared so terrible that no one dared approach it. The demi-lune was again brought, and one of the front legs cut off. The beast fell to the ground, and a stroke from the digger finished him. Will it be believed that even after this the public were not satisfied, and demanded the rest of the sport, and, that,the authorities were obliged to give them tickets for the next exhibition ? The toreador Gil was buried on Tuesday the other man is in a dan- gerous state, and amputation is to be tried when be seems strong enough to bear it.

above offence, it appeared from the evidence adduced that the prisoner had called on the inhabitants of the town, presenting a paper with a printed heading, ad- dressed To the Friends of Sunday Schools,' the professed object of which was to raise subscriptions for the purpose of publishing a work entitled I A Short Explanation of the Pilgrim's Progress,' for the benefit of Sunday school?, was said to be under the patronage of John Lewis, Esq., Bank, Haverfordwest. The prisoner called at the house of J. D. Roberts, E3q., and on Mr Roberts looking over the list of subscribers, he saw his own name down for 2s. Gd, and knowing that he had not affixed it him- self, or authorised any one else to do so, he asked the prisoner who Mr Roberts was, and where he lived. The Prisoner was unable to say, as he knew neither one nor the other. He afterwards said that the names had been Put down by some man in a public house, but he could not remember the name of the man or the house. Some OF the inhabitants it seemad had been victimized, for as a witness expressed it, on seeing the names of Mr J. D. Roberts and the Rev. W. B. Thomas, she thought it quite safe and gave the prisoner a donation. The Prisoner was committed to the House of Correction for seven days. PRESENTATION OF MEDALS, &c AWARDED BY HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH 10 MB. YOUNG, OF HUBJBKETON, AND MR. MARK. Roell, OF PENHOLT,-Henry Pattison, Esq, of Il.M.'s Costoms, and Superintendent of Mercantile Marine, at Milford, received a communication from the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade, en- Closing two Silver Medals and Diplomas, to be presented to Mr George Young, of Hubberton, and Mr Mark Roch, of Penyholt, for services rendered by them in saving the Jjfe of the master of Frencli vessel La Force, of Ayde, at freshwater West, in January last, and directing the Sa:'XJe to be presented to them in such manner as best to express the high sense entertained of those services, Accompanied wit a copy of a letter from the French Charge d'Affaires to Earl Russell, as follows.— Albert Gate House, 29 September, 18G2 MY LORD,- I have the honour of forwarding to your lordship two Silver Medals of tae second class, given by a decree of the Emperor, bearing the date of'the 17th of July last, to Messrs. George James Young, and Mark Roch, farmers, in the county of Pembroke, foi having saved the life of the master of the French merchant vesscl La Force, of Ayde, wrecked the 24ch of January, Of this year, to the south of Milford. 1 pray your Lordship to forward the Medals with the "iplomas which accompany them to their destination. Iremain.&c, CHATEAURENARD. The Medals referred to were presented to Mr Young and Mr Roch at the Custom House, Milford. on Thursday, the 30th u!t, by the Collector, in the presence of T. Robert-, Esq, consular agent for France. Mr Young aQd Mr Roch, in acknowledging the receipt of them, Observed, that although the reflection of their having been the instruments in saving the life of a fellow crea- ture was of itself a sufficient reward for any services they Inay have rendered, they were at the same time deeply Risible- of the very high honour conferred on them by having their services recognised by his Majesty the Elllperor of the French, and for the tokens of his apuro hation then presented to them. they begged to return their very sincere and grateful thanks.

During the Crimean war the letter rendered the Muscovite important services which have not been forgotten. Napoleon, therefore, felt that any line of action in which Russia could be induced to join won 1(1 possess an important, recominen lation to the Americans. Duly impressed with this idea, he has, we believe, induced Russia to give her absent to join in pro- posing an armistice of six months' duration to the belli- gerents. We understand that this assent is conditional on the co operation of the English Government being obtained, and we do not for one moment suppose that they will withhold their concurrence in such a moderate pro- posal, supported bv two of the leading powers of Europe. It is gcnemlly felt. that the war has raged long enough, and that in the interest of the Americans, even more than in that of our suffering operatives at home, a decisive attempt to secure the cessation of hostilities ought to be made by the principal European powers. Were an armis- tice signed the blockade would be at once raised, and a fair opportunity afforded to the rival sections of the United States for arranging their differences. This can never be done by the sword. The South have given sufficient proofs that they are not to be subdued, and a continued military occupation even of a portion of their territory involves sacrifices that outweigh every advantage that could possibly be gained. Although President Lincoln and his adherents continue to indulge in vain boasts, and the Northern newspapers dream as confidently as ever of victory, we believe that the proposal would not be rejected even by the Northern States. Industry is paralysed, a commercial crisis of no ordinary character increases the distress of the people, dissension rages everywhere, and rumours of a more extended secession are in circulation. The proposal by European States of an armistice therefore furnishes an opportunity which, if embraced, may enable them to save something from the general wreck. Conquer the South bv force of arms they cannot, and if they persist in waging the conflict they will, by their obstinacy, cause the model republic to split into several fragments. That the South-in which superior statesmanship has been well seconded by able generalship, will accede to the proposal there eannot be the slightest doubt. What reception the English Government has accorded to this plan we know not. It appears to ns that they dare not run the risk of so grave a responsibility as that which they must inevitably incur by rejecting it. At any rate, they would have to give an account of such rejection to the representatives of the people in parliament, and we imagine they would find it a difficult matter to convince them that in losing this chance of obtaining peace they had properly fulfilled the important duties of their position.
