The North Appreciated.

It is a remarkable fact that in this war the
efforts of the North to put down gigantic con
spiracy have scarcely met with even a fair, much
less a favorable judgment from any foreign
source. In striking contrast is the following
frank EXPRESSION from the Toronto (Canada
West) Globe, which should be copied by every
loyal paper. The italics are our own:
"a victory of the National forces in Eastern
Virginia would have an immense effect in bring
ing into the field thousands of the Southerners
who are friendly to the Union, but do not now
see their way to interfering safely IN It's behalf
Is it likely that the North will win victory
Is it,lmp0SSibLe not to remark that oheneCer the
Northern troops hare mt the Southern on equal
terms, the latter hare ataoays gigen aoay. Ecen
aohea the South hGd the Advantage IN mum
berS, they haze frequently been defeated. E0en al
Bull Run the NOrthernerS had the ddUGntagt
aSben then met on equal terms. We cannot ont be
here IN the superiority Of the Northern troops
But the South was better prepared Tor war when
it broke out and its first army was better drill
ed than that of the North. 1t remains to be seen
whether the second army now under Gen. Nc
Clellan, is better skilled in warfare. 1t we can
Judge by the Northern reports Mcclellan has
introduced thorough discipline, and will give a
good account of his men. The movement OF the
South on Washington is dangerous, and 1t is
easy to believe what is said, that it has been
adopted against the advice of Beauregard. The
reports are numerous that the Rebel leaders
think an advance necessary 20 keep up the
morale of their troops. The fiery Southerners
do not like inaction, and they are suffering tol
lack of many things which they would find III
Washington, could they carry it. Gen. Scott
is hurrying forward troops to defend his Poto-
mac lines, and we shall soon see whether Nc
Clelan is the man for the occasion lie Is IN
possession of the only bridges across the Poto
mac, at Harper's Ferry and Washington, and
ought to be able, not only 20 repel the attack Of
Beauregard, but TO punish him for bis presump'
tuous advance.
"a good deal has been said about the inefi
cheney of the blockade of the Southern ports
but very upjustly. There are between two and
three hundred vessels now engaged in the block
ade, and more are being brought forward. The
wonder is that so much has been done in Sc
short time. The South feels the pressure Of the
blockade keenly and their sole hope fits being
raised rests on the action Of the European Po,oers
,otich wiH not interfere. Lfhe North could only
add to their present movements the landing o
forces al uariOus points on the Southern coast "e

not object to the severest reflections When they
are true. But we say that, first and last, VIC

twice as MANY of the enemy as we have los
