THE aGRAxD REv1Ew,n of which We fur
nish an account this morning, is said to be
the last that is to take place before the
long expected advance on Manassas. A
b great deal of sarcasm has been INDUCED in
by q portion of the Newspaper press,
about these reviews; some that has SEEM
ed to MS gratuitous and pnbecoming. We
take it that discipline and a knowledge Of
military evoIutions, is the one great thing
that distinguishes an army from mob.
z What is an army of a hundred thousand
men, If it cannot be handled 1t is but a
mobile self destroying mass, something
like ours was at Bull Bun, and such as it
probably would have been again, had
/. Mcclellan rushed them into another action
, without drills and reviews. Too much i'm
portanee, as general thing, is attached to
mere numbers, and too little to discipline.
1t, is more gratifying and important TO
. know that Mcclellan and Mcdowell have
anarmy of 10, 900 men that they can han
die with facility and precision, than that
they have double the number Of raw
troops, whose weight in action would only
aid their own destruction. We all know
how much more regulars are worth than
militia, and yet very little account is taken.
. of the fact that change has taken place
in the fighting capacity of our army With.
in the last six months, which renders them
more efficient to-day than million of men
would have been when first called ont.
These reviews are considered an idle
exhibition Of eagles and gold lace. We
cannot regard them so. The display is in
cident to such occasions, but not the OBJ
jecs of them. They are to satisfy the COM
manders Of the efficiency of the army, both
men and oticersj and TO hurl,sueh an army
as ours on the Potomac into battle against
the engines and Notifications Of the enemy
at Manassas, without a knowledge of what
it would and could do, would be, to say
the least, very rash enterprise; such o
one as would be condemned in snything
else than military movements, by the very
papers that sneer ut these reviews. We
only wish there were time or opportunity
for more reviews and drills. But long de-
lay would be a great evil, aud the con-
junction of circumstances now clearly in
dictates that the army along the border Is
soon to moYe1n cooperation with the fleets
on tho coast. With the late evidences of
the efficiency of the army on the Potomac,
and the ability of its officers to handle it
VIC have the strongest assurance that there
need be no approximations in that quarter.
A significant commentary on tho rebel ,es-
Innate Of McClellan's column is found in
tho statement of the Richmond papers, that
troops are still going North through Rich
mond, Notwithstanding the diversion In
South oarolina,

Ir,portant from Europe.

The Memphis Appeal, of the 2Oth June
has the following highly important lhior-
nation: @ @ -
Major Gen. PILLOW has received, from an
official source, and IN such manner as
makes it perfectly reliable, information
thar bearer of dispatches has arrived from
the Confederate Ministers in Europe, with
adyices that England and France have
determined to protect their commerce on
the Western Continent, and that, to ensure
its entire safety, each of the governments
has ordered twenty additional ships rom
their respective naSics, to reinforce their
souadrons in the Southern. waters.
Another important point of information
is, that negotiations ior a. loan had so 1af
progressed as to have secured propositions
from different parties and powers to the
amount of two hundred million dollars, up
on the security otIercdby the prospective
cotton crop, or that portion of 1t winch VIII
come into the hands of the Confederate au-
thorties, through the confidence OF the
Southern people in their Governments,
The same dispatches also conveyed the
gratifying intelligence that the Conieocra-
cy will be recognized ina short time by 'nc
great European powers; that the piockauc
of Southern ports can be only OF short au-
ration, and that the season when our great
staples are prepared for market VIII see us
in free commercial intercourse with all the
world with the single exception of our per-
secutors in the North.
We make these statements with the ut
most confidence in their truthfulness-~thc
intelligence having reached the command
ing General at this point by express mes
senGcr from the bearer of European dis
patches, who passed to Riehmond on sutur-
day night. 81.
The Memphis Avalanche Of same dat. date
con6rms this statement, the editor having
seen the letter to Gen. Pillow, written
by the bearer of dispatches from I'll inc
Seutlern Commissioners in Europe Inc
Avalanche says:
The bearer of thedispatchcsis well known wv
in this city as a gentleman entirely reiia-
bic. lie landed in Canada, and making
his way through that province to lineage
cluded the vigilance of the Black hepupii-
cans and reached Nashville yesterday

The Galveston News of the I'd inst, has
the following paragraph;
CoME At I.AsT.-A good sized, two mastcd

awning from stem to stern, and long lines
of masculine habiliments suspended Tor

She was accompanied by aschooner Nhlch

n half of the point, and tbcnput back; while
the steamer moved to the west, some dis

in, and at 2 o'clock anchored, two miles
from the bench.
She is considered by the members OF j.

Lfg" The following remarks from the
Galveston News embody so fully the scnti-
mcnts and opinions of great many of
our readers, that wa feel constrained to re-
publish them:
We regret to learns from tbs. Richmond
Examiner that prescription and favoritism
are the order of the dny in Virginia, and
that personal and partinn interests arc
there overriding public considerations. 1t
appears that in many instances the policy
has been adopted of neglecting or cutting
off the men who have been the steady and
undertaking supporters of the great cause
of the South; while the Union men who adj
yocatcd submission to Lincoln, as long as
there was any hope of defeating secession,
are now thrust forward into places ofhonor,
trust and power. The object appears to be
to conclinatc the opponents Of secession and
win them over to the support of the South,
by giving them the rewards due to those
who have been faithful and true from the
beginning. This policy appears to be
grounded on the assumption that those who
have consistently advocatedSouthcrn rights
when there was no reasonable hope of re-
ward, will continue to do so in spite of any
amount of injustice and neglect; while the
submissionists must be bought up By Civ
ing them the fruits of others labors. Vir-
ginia is probably not the only State where
this policy has been parsued. But it ad-
mits at least of some doubt whether those
SO eager to secure office and cmolumcnt un-
der government which they opposed to
the last moment, may not betray the trusts
