lNew York Times's Dispatch
} Reports circulated of change in the plan!
Of General Scott, and that he will commence
t active operations against the rebels, are er.
ropeous.
, We are further than ever removed from
battle. General Scott has no purpose ot
riskipg general engagement. The only
conflicts between us and the rebels which
| are likely to transpire at present. are skir-
mishes.
General SCOTS programme is the concen-
tration of Federal troops in Virginia and the
border States in such large bodies as to make
it madLess for the rebels to attempt an at
tack. While thus intimidating them the
: presence of our forces will encourage oul
loyal citizens TO rise in sufficient number tc
prevent any further outrages cut off theiI
resources, increase the dissatisfaction in the
camps, and cause desertion, and by thus
haTTassing and demoralizing them, drive
them from the border States.
General Scott is confident that, this &C
complished, the loyalty of the border States
is fixed. Then it is his purpose to transport
p by sea an immense force, to operate agains
the Gulf States. They will be landed under
the protection of men Of war, OF the promi
: nent points on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts
d and thus threatened by the approaches from
n the sea- the authorities of the different States
II will at once recall their troops from thu
0 main body, and thus break up their granC
a army, and make it impossible for any often
b sive movements. , ..r ..... ... Fa..
d The fragments in the different State
Z being then cut off from supplies from tn
g border States, will be driven to accept term
a from Washington. 1t is no partof the plan
i as at present arranged, to attack the debri
4 ofthe rebel army, or to attempt to re-tak,
n any of the stolen forts, as the restoration O
g them will make one Of the conditions die
d tated to the rebels when they find them
9 selves forced TO accept terms.
! By january he thinks the rebellion will b,
= entirely defeated, and the Union recon
p stIucted. Conversation has Just been haC
g with Beauregard, at Manassas Junction. 4
: lady just from there, who had interview
8 with Beauregard, said it was not his inten
t tion to attack Washington, but to act on tn
t defensive. Lieutenant Tomkias and com
e mand are safe at Alexandria.
