WASHINGTON, june 26-The report
circulated Of change in the plans Of Gen.
Scott, and witch will commence active OPP.
erattons against the rebels. are erroneous.
We are further than evar- from battle
Gen. Scott has no purpose Of ,risking a
general cngsgement.' Ths only conflicts
between Us and the rebels which are like
ly to ,transpire at present, are skirmishes.
Scott's programme is the concentration of
Federal troops in Virginia and the other
border States, in such large bodies as to
make it madness for the rebels to attempt
an attack, while thus intimidating them,
the presence Of our force will encourage
the loyal citizens to rise inasuf6eient NUM-
bers to prevent my further outrsges;, tcu
off their resources, increase the di1satisfac-
tion in their camps and cause desertions,
and by thus hara ssing and demoralizing
them, drive them from the border States.
Scott is confident that that accomplished,
the loyalty Of the border States is fixed.
1 Then it is hi, purpose to transport by sea
an immense force to operate against the
Gulf States. They will bc landed under
the protection Of men.of-warsat the prom
inent points ON the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts, thus threatened by the approach
es from the sea, the authorities Of the Diff
ferent States will at once recall their troops
from the main body, and thus break up
their: grand army, and make, i powerless
for offensive operations. The fragments
in the different States, having then been
cut of from supplies from the border
States, will be- driven TO- accept terms
from Washington. It is no part: Of tho.
plan, a. at present arranged, to attack the
debris of the rebel army, or to attempt to
retaEe any Of the stolen forts, as the resto-
ration Of them will BIO made one of the
conditions Dictated to the rebels when
they find themselves forced to. accept
terms. By January, he thinks the rebel
lion. will be entirely defeated and the
Union reconstructed. ""7't: J. 1"E I@'E

Reliable information has been received
here, exposing, cunningly devised plan Of
the rebels to possess themselves Of the
Californi. steamers running to Panama -
Their plan is to place upon these steamers
as they leave port a number ofmen in the
capacity Of steerage passengers, who shall
after getting TO sea, rise and overpower
the crew and seize the steamers. BY such
manoeuvres they hope to- possess 20 the
