The recent victory over the Federal forces
in Missouri fills the war party in the North
faot yet recovered from the stunning btitiet OF
Manassas) with CONSERVATION. The N, Y.
Herald, Of the 18th, thus speculates as to what
may follow
Where the next blow may be strnek-wheth-
er ia the neighborhood of Fortress Monroe,
or on the Upper Potomac against Banks, or
against the force of Rosencrana, in Western
Virginia, OF at Washington i%tseIf-lt is I'M
possible to say, Many kagacious, wellin-
formed military men hold that the latter will
be the object of the rebels attention, because
of the great moral effect which its capture
would produce throughout the New World
and the Old. That they will make an onward
movement in sonn direction within two Or
thre weeks there is every reason to believe.
In addition to the reasons assigned above, we
may mention the significant fact that Beaure-
gard, notwithstanding the wagons captured
from cur army, has issued an order to collect
all the wagons which can be obtained-the
sure sign Of marching il force. And these
Indications are strengthened by the closing
words of the brief address Of Johnston and
Beauregard to the rebel army on the 2sth Of
July, one week after the fight year Manassas.
fhep ray, in ~allasion to those who fell I'VE
will hold the eoil in which the dust of Wash
ington is mingled with the dust of our broth
ers. WE drop one tear on their %laurels, aud
move forward to avenge them"
Our readers know that hitherto General
SCOTS plan has been to collect an overwhelm-
ing. well.disciplined force, and move forward
with that 10 the fall, bearing down all opposi-
ton, But the defeat at Bull Run has altered
the circumstances and it il likely the enemy is
now 80 emboldencd that he will not await
Gen. Scots leisure 10 attack him, but become
the a~sseiling party himself. 1t is understood
that a vigorous and rapid campaign il the
policy Of the yoang Generals, Mcclellan
Banks, Fremont und others, and that the reb-
els ought not, to be. allowed to choose their
" battle gronnd. It is probable that Gen.
Scott will, therefore, change his programme to
euit the altered condition Of things. The news
from Missouri, which we publish this morning,
giving an account of the defeat of Gen. Lyons
army. and the death OF The General himself, is
an additional reason for the prompt ~exertion
the utmost vigof. II to two such reverses
a third should soon be added, from want ofen-
ergy and skill. the cause of the Union would
be damaged almost beyond the power Of re-
The country will not tolerate a
long war. The conflict must be short, sharp
and decisive, or fail altogether.

From an exchange we learn that q meeting
OF the working men was held in New York on
the 9th inst. Resolutions we're passed depicting
the distressing condition to which they were
reduced BY tho war. and demanding that the
Federal States and, Municipal Government
shah undertake. public works to give employ
ment to the idle masses.
May we not ask ourselves what will be the
condition Of the iabouring classes north this
winter I, already they are in want Of the
neoessariea Of life. Is there not danger that
those acenes, which, in the French Revolution,
flooded the streets Of Paris with human blood,
will be reenacted ere long ii New York city I

The New York Herald IS convinced Of thu
fact that the southern officers are superior to
the northern, both in courage and military
talents. On this ground, he accounts ii great
part for the defeat sustained by the Federals
at Manassas. ss
Tho same paper Of the 8th instant contains
article on the probable recognition of our
Independence BY the European powers. He
is Of the opinion that The French Government,
from interest in Southern produce, is ne.
solved to break the blockade Of our coast and
70 acknowledge the independence of the Con.
Tolerate States, and that England and the rest
Of Europe will follow suit.
This journal also now holds that there
ought TO be an exchange of prisoners al once,
including the crews Of the priyateers, who,
after all, are only enemies at sea, as the con-
iederates are enemies on land = It has dis.
covered that hanging IS the poorest use to
which men can be put" and it adds 4that The
eonfederates are entitled to be recognized as
belligefents they have proved themselves at
Manassas. :,
