The Eag,i.h press on tbs Americas war.
From the Daily Nsus, Aagist5I
The political news IS mcrs important than the
military. The prolonged and desperate resist
ance Of the South is producing IN the Nofth me
effect which those who understand me tuo IA
ture 0f the contest, ard have watched its pfo-
eress. foresaw and predicted from the first it
would DO. 1t has deepened the Fixed aud con
eentrated resolve Of the American people to
braak the power Of The rebellion and v~indieats
.heir ouiraged nationality. This result is re-
aee.ed 10 the proclsmations issued ~ the head
of The nation with rfgald 10 the military nse o.

voluntary return Of these States 70 tnelI eAegl,
ancq. their rights under the Constitution and
their peculiar property were carefully respected
But when the Fundamentally rights, not the very
existence Of the nation, arc 81 stake, the iapsed
claims Of a rebel O~iigarchy cannot tor a moment
be allowed 70 stand in Tie way ana u 1s
southern leaders are determined to wage an e1-
terminating war against the North5 they nus

the character Of citizens, they must be ranked
as enemies. and treated accordingly.
The nsopls Of tie North are resolved to defend
tboir gaveTnment and laws, their rights and hb-
erties-in q word, their natlonahty-hom the
desperate assault Of a t~yrannical, aggressive ana
bsrbarous power. They have never Tayefed 10

From the London Tlmss, Auglstfl
We naturally look for some change in the for
tunes Of such q war as this. The successes OF
/ Inc G0NieQrIALta nave DrCAA ~ many W1oAo ~
frequent and continuous that We have been ex-
pecing something, at least Of a minor kind, to
make the beam yIbrate or keep up the usual see
saw Of military events. But, although tie
UniOn;sts have the lens in their own hands,
nothing seems to have occurred which they can
even magnify into a victory. We might have
anticipated that the sudaci0us attempt TO Invade
q Northern State would have been promptly re-
PEELED and severely punished. But itsaems that
the Confederate f5Tes IS still upon the sacred
soil Of Ohio. The governor OF that free Siatei is
at his wis ends. The citizens seem unwilling
to volunteer even to resist N invader, and a
proclamation threatening a CONSUMPTION hes been
found necessary, even 10 an invaded State IN
doubtedly loyal to the Northern Confedersey.
What has satonished Europe more taan any
thing else in this contest has been thas no great
/ intellect has yet come to the suTface. There has
been hitherto no Cromwell, no Washington, nos
even a Ganbaldi. The South IS beginning to
give promise. BeauregaTd has shown strategy,
although he has not yet exhibited that highest
order Of military genius which consists N the
cspacitv Of improving to the utmost any &C
ouired success In " Stouewall Jackson, how
ever, they seem to have produced s real general
of daring enterprise, snd now a certain General
Morgan Is rising into fame IS one OF those sol
diers who can not only use armies, but who ean
create them. These are the men for such a war
as this, and a people who can produce such gen
erals at nee1 may vel look forward to ultimate
victory.
