Eve position and tho arrival OF timely reenOroemenls
must be taken into account on the sane sIoei ana

fTft reported On the other hand, the scope OF the
war is infinitely enlarged And the plOtrae,iOn OF the
contest Is all in favor of those who have the largest re-
serves OF men and mtaes defeat OF tie North shuts
the door of COMPROMISE to acquiesCenos on any
tefms the South can offer. The Union is boundt con-
ouer now. The spirit Of New-Engsnd and the Moth
west will rise TO the occasion; aud Of the old race
and ftreng tbened by macy TeveIses, shall not be
.nrrrised II ouT knspep never rest until they have
anrned defeat into victory. II may he that the triumph
of the cause OF Freedom must dae from defeat. An
easy war en- content TO subside into an ingoFous
rcoce.
The intelligence Of the deieat Of the Federal army
ender Gen. Mcdowell will be received throughout
Enslapd with profound regret. The signal victory
obtained by Gea. Mcclellan over the Secessonists IN
Western Virginia raised The hope that by bis CO.
operation with The main body OF the Ma army III
she Eastern division of the State, blOw might be
struck at the COnfedertes sufficiently decisive to
bring the war virtually to close. Ihefe anllcls pa
tons have been disappointed, and in place OF triumph
We have 10 chronicle a disastrous repulse
We cannot be surprised the depressing influence
Syhi the intelligence Of this disaster has exercised
npon the Nev-YoTk money market 1t IL not thai The
pstroic ardOT Of the North has been quenchC0 by de-
feat or that any doubt has been generated with
gard to the Intimate issue of the contest But saCh
this, rendering inevitable an extensive pro-
1raction of the war, will necessarily entail an enor-
1nlus increase of fscal burdens. The loss OF the ar
tillery and Fied cannon OF the Federal Army Il IN IT.
sef a very serious consideration for the deficiency
cannot be Immediately supplied and SO long 1t exists
renders the troops almost poweess for action, while
she gain Of their adversarieS ispresely commensurate
With their own loss. But the adjournment, Perhaps
BE- the probable result Of the Confederate victory, is
evil of Infinitely greater magnitude.
Tie defeat at Ba Run = 10 many respects deeply 20
he unmixed evil IL has at least rendered Impossible
th conclusion of any Of those suggested compromises
by which the North would have made itself onco
more an accomPhee in the guilt of Slavery. 1t will
frantic rejoicing in the South and may, perhaps
snduce some of the Slave States which have hitherto
i1sintainod lukewaIm allegiance to the Union, TO
Jiing themselves into the ranks Of Secession But,
che other hand il may serve TO stimulate the North to
more inveterate antagoDism to that accused system
which has given birth . the war, and IL lutly TO be
held responsible for all the callnitles spriDgng from
It, Let the Federal Government boldly inscribe
"'Negro Emancipation 3" upon its flag, and IT
beatty respect Of the whole civilized world, and ma
terally approximate the moment Of its final triumph.
War for q principle may not seem TO all men justIa-
ble; but in any 1t stands upon a very different
RtOand from for dominion. We NAV be
ssngune in hoping that the Of the North viii
b. ledat once 70 perceive and TO pursue the course
which Is alike dictated by interest and prescribed by
duty. Bot If ths reverse should prompt them to de-
clare that the eXterminaOl OF Slavery shall DC Of
