The very best defense Of what is known
rs the Anaconda OF Scott plan Of the cam
raign, is that contained in letter from
Washington to the Cincinnati Commercial,
which We reprint this morning. We, as
the known advocates Of prompt and active
measures, present it as The other side-as
matter Of justice TO Gen. Scott al well as
the Administration by which he Is sus-
tainci. We believe that the reasoning is
fallacious and that the facts are assump
tions; because,
Ist. The South hns, as the Confederates
Say, been invaded and whatever Of des-
pcratc courage there Is in the people, has
been aroused to resistance of the Federal
army; and one defeat or the failure OF one
cam mraign will not put an end to their 1e-
bcllious endeayors-
II. The starying-out process will prove
to be failure. All accounts ngree that
the growing crops in all the seeding
States IRE abundant; and the time is close
at hand when they may be made available
for the use Of the rebel army. Wheat in
Georgia has already been harvested
III. The Union men Of the South, to
whose relief the loyal urmy is marching,
will be crushed out, or forced into CO.
operation with the rebels, long before the
anaconda has got the whole country en-
yeloped in it's coils
". We are at home in danger Of divis-
ion and distraction by the wide CONNER
cia1 distress, which three years war would
not fa1 to create.
7. The foreign powers, to whom Cotton
is necessity, would be compelled, by mo-
tivcs of sclf.r7cservation, to recognize the
Confederacy and break through our block
ade, before the bloodless policy was con
cluded.
II. One Of the objects to be gained By
the fight is the acknowledgment By the
South Of the equality Of the North in all
that relates to war as well as in what are
the pursuits Of peace. The rebels must be
d1ubled as the indispensable prerequisite
TO that.
These seem to Us to be conclusive; bu
more might be added. The popular sens'
of the country points instinctiyely to thu
right; and that We assert Is better thai
the closet yaticinations Of the ab1est 0

The correction would make, Is, TINT Mr.

of lta1ning to the amount OF 800, 600, OF IN

The fact is, that whcn several gentlemen In

any sum, large or smaI. The Trustees do
hold his 1ote fer 1000, and without ether

Tte impression, which is supposed to be
common, that he has founded such an institu-

with his proposal, when first made, gave his
