The London Times for once thinks the
Union armies not inferior to the rebel, as the
Confederstes had measured their strength
with the army under Mcclellan, and bad not
succeeded in beating him,-an unfortunate
result, nc doubt the Times thinks, but still
the fact. General Mcclellan has at last
brought up his forces to an equality with
the rebel armies. But the Times and most
of its associates of the English press, cannot
see that the cause Of the North Is at all ad-
vanced by their unexpected victory. OF
course they can't, for they do not wish to
see it. They probably will not be able either
to see how Buell's deiest Of Bragg in Ken
lucky, or Rosecrans' victory over Price at
Corinth, will in any way assist our Govern
msnt, or be anything but temporary check
TO the rebels. They will however undoubt-
eddy see IL Stewards Incursion ~ Pennsylva-

New War with China.

The most important matter now before
the English public is the new war with
China, 9shich has, without the least warn
ing, become a fixed fact Writing upon
this subject, the Liverpool Times says:
at is clear that the old government Of
China is tumbling to pieces, and our pol
icy ought to have been that Of steering be
tween the belligerents without giving OF
0ance IN either. But we have made enc
mics Of the insurgents, and hence the de-
mand for more troops from home, and, as
things now stand, We sFe likely 10 have on
our hands the gigantic task ef making the
CONQUEST Of China. As Bombay paper,
BY the last mail, very Pertinently 90
serves:
awe have deliberately espoused the
cause Of the most corrupt, weak snd cruel
despotism the world has ever seen, and We
are about to reap the bitter fruits Of our
policy"
force:
HWhat offence have the Taepings com
mitted against us. that our cannon and
fleets are to be employed in destroying
them, and our soldiers in capturing them,
and handing them over to the tender mer-
cies Of the -msndsrins to be disembowel-
led2p
The course which we have lately been
pursuing in China ought to arouse the deep
indignation Of the country; but we appear
70 be committed to this new and fatal
course of action, and where what is called
the honor Of the country is concerned,
one false step is almost invariably followed
BY another. The blunder Of the French
in Mexico is paralleled by our own in
China.

Special to the Tribune, from Washing
ton, the 18th, says
The mind of the Government IS again
agitated on the subject of censorship Of
the press. Complaints have been made
that news of important movements by the
national armies, is prematurely published
In some Of the New York journals Gen.
Halleck has determined to order CORES
pondents out Of the lines of Gen. Pope, if
not also outof those of other generals, and
that the exodus will commence very speed
lily.
Special to the Herald from Nashville the
18th, says:
The train from Huntsville was fired into
to-day, near Columbus, and woman and
child and two of the Kentucky Sd, killed.
The rebel forces were reported to have
evacuated Chattanooga, and are making a
Northern movement. No houses were
burned at Gallatin by Morgan. The Union
refugees from Gallatin, are content to re-
main here, awaiting the issue of events.
Communication will be soon restored
between Nashville and Louisville. Prices
Of everything have advanced % per cent.

Ihave heard report ofgreat importance
from the army. What it is, 1 am not at
liberty to say, but am led to believe that
some movement ofthe highest consequences
has taken place. will send the particu-
lars as soon as I feel authorized to do so.
We are informed and have every reason
to credit the report, that Gen. Butler will
soon be recalled from the Department of
the Gulf, and that Gen. Dix viii take his
place there with his headquarters at New
Orleans, and that he will be associated in
the administration of the local affairs, with
Hon. Reverdy Johnson, as provisional
governor of the State.

Everything from POpe's army indicates
preparation for desperate struggle. In
formation from the best sources confirms
the belief that the rebels are pouring heavy
re-inforcsmeDts into Gordonsville by the
railroad from Richmond. Some estimates
place their number already there at 100000,
and It is generally believed that, having
sodad itimpossible to pursue Mcclellan for
Fsnt ef transportation, they have resolved
70 attack Pope before arrangements are
made e support him BY cur other armies

line Of the Rapidan, elong the north bank
Of which the whole army with the exeeP-
tion Of Banks corps, is massed. HIS own

Consider the Possibility.

In recent letter to war meeting, Gen.
Meagher says:
Let the merchants, as well as the less
prosperous of our fellow citizens, be assur-
ed, that the Army Of the Potomac, unless
it be instantly reinforced, will have to re-
cede from its position, incur a grievous re-
pulse, or surrender to the revolutionary
army-in any one Of which events Wash
ington will be no longer safe-treason will
triumphantly lift its head in Baltimore
and it will then be no longer the line of
the Potomac that will have TO be defended
by the national forces, or what shall re-
main Of them, but it will be the line of the
Susquehannah and Chesapeake.
"When it comes to that, New York had

ment obtain the upper hand; and the up

General Burnside.

1t is reported by way of Fortress Mon
roe that Gen. Burnside may superoede Gen.
Mcclellan in command of the army of the
Potomac. We do not think the report pro-

country who has been more uniformly
successful than Gen. Burnside, or who en-
joys in greater degree the confidence of
the public.
