The Special to the Times says:
Reports are circulated Ofs change in the
plans Of Gen. Scott, and that be will com
mence active operations against the rebels,
are erroneous. We are further than ever
removed from battle. Gen. 5cOit has no
purpose of visiting = general engagement.
The only conflict between ms and the rc-
bels which are likely to trsnspire 81 pre-
sent, is skirmishes. a
Scotts programme is the concentration
Of Federal troops In Virginia, and the
other Border States, in suuh large bodies as
to make il madness for rebels TO attempt
attack.
While thus intimidating them, Che pres
ence Of our forces will encourage the loyal
citizens to riso in sufficient numbers to pre-
vent any further OutrsRes, cut of their re-
sources increase the dissatisfaction In their
camps, and cause desertion, and by thus har-
RAISING and demorelizing them, drive them
from the Border States. Scott Is confident
that this accomplished, the loyalty of the
Border States is fixed. Then it is his pur-
pose to transport By sea an immense force to
operate against the Gulf States.
They will be landed under the protection
of men Of-Wsr. at the prominent points of
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, and thus
threatened BY the approaches from the sea.
The authorities Of the different States will
at once recall their troops from the main
body, and thus break up their grand army
and make it poWerless for any offensive
movements. The fragments in the differ
ent States being thus cut Of from supplies
from the Border States, win be driven to
accept terms from Washington.
It is no part Of the plan as at present or
ranged TO attack the debris Of the rebel
army or to atlemp, 10 retake any Of the
stolen forts, as the restoration Of them will

! The Herald's Despatch says:
Reliable information has been received
