The Telegraph and the War.

1t is but just that we should advise
our readers to accept with more or
less reservation for the, present all
intelligence conveyed by telegraph
from points which are under the con-
troll Of the Government at Washing
ton. Several days ago that Govern
ment laid its prohibition on all dis
patches in cipher or relating to arms
and munitions of war. We are also
led to conclude, though no notice to
that effect has been given, that it eN-
ercises strict surveillance over dis
patches giving any information about
the warlike preparations and move
ments in the North. In a word, We
have reason to believe that in general
the telegraphic information we get
from Washington, New York, Phila-
delphia, and other places from which
such information may be commanded
by the Lincoln Administration and its
friends, is carefully edited with a
view to strategetical as we'll as poIiti-
cal effect. IN some cases doubtless it
is suppressed altogether; i'll others
modified and colored i'll accordance
with the policy of the moment.
Whilethis is the case with regard
to telegraph information which is
subject to the censorship of the Lin
coin Administration, it is proper to
say that strategetical considerations
impose very decided restraint on
the working Of the telegraph as a
medium Of news in the South. For
several days, telegraphic news from
Montgomery, Charleston and Rich
mond has been almost entirely sus-
pended. The hands of our special
telcgrapic correspondent have been
in some measure tied; and this fact,
with other circumstances, .justifies the
conclusion that the Confederate Gov.
eminent is organizing some bold and
extensive military movement, which
it is Of the utmost importance to keep
under the mask from the enemy, and
in order to ensure its being kept So
to conceal it for n time, even from
friends. We have no idea that this
movement looks Southwark; we in
cline to think it looks to Virginia ant
Neutrality-suspicious. to Washington
The general policy of conccalment il
thematter is unquestionably judicious
We make no complaint of tn,
severe trial it imposes on a public
eager for information, though journal
lists, of a class, are in position t,
feel its trying effects mos1 sensitivety
