the Persia, if they come substantially from the
Northern government, do credit 20 its verac-
ity, inasnuch as t.-ey proclaim that any deei-
sive advantages over the Confederates must be
postponed until great additions are made to
the Federal army. The latest dates are to the
18th Of June, which may be considered the
beginning of the summer heats. Although
the probability is that both armies will keep
the field, We. there can be little doubt that the
spirit of the campaign must languish until
fall, when cool weather and reinforcements on
both sides will allow the struggle to be re-
newed. The last news represents what may
be looked upon as the closing scene of the new
campaign. Though the Federals have SO
many more men, and such vast army, and
the greatest resources, they invariably de-
scribe themselves as outnumbered by the Con-
federates Halleek and Mcclellan utter the
same complaint. Food and powder must have
been the cry of the Confederate force which,
numbering 10000 at Corinth, and being
equal if not superior TO the forces opposed to
it. was vet obliged TO retreat southwark, and
is now posted in decreased numbers at Gre
NADIA. Kentuckians and TenneSseeans might
argue that, since their own States have been
abandoned and fallen under the yoke Of the
4 Federals. they had no further interest in de-
Tending the cotton States, to which they were
bound by ties of allegiance; but the diminish
| ing army must have been mainly caused by
the difficulty Of procuring food.
/ The Times adds, The superior numbers
/ and resources of the North we look upon as
! certain in the end to prevail. Bat who can
/ see the resolution evincsd by the South, the
I immense army it puts into the field, and the
/ tenacity with which it disputes every position,
| without feeling that the war is lkely to drench
| the territory of the Union with much more
blood 1t winds up by hoping some means
may be devised for bringing this unnatural
/ conflict to a close.
The Morntng Herald, in an editorial con-
| tends that the restoration of the Union would
be calamity, not only for Europe, and Eng
! land in particular, but Cor the North. 1t de-
| clares that the Union had become nuisance
among nations. Secession is favorable TO Eng.
land. Self interests would have justified in
reference before this, had not international
morality forbid it. Even now, if there was
any hope of an early settlement, no one would
dream of interfering. AS matters stand, how
ever, the Herald thinks it is time that some de-
cided action should be taken by France anG
England in behalf of justice and humanity
as we'll as for the protection of their half
ruined manufactures aud hungry operatives
Such action must be taken at last, as imposs
be things cannot be long allowed to remain
1t is most improbable that there will be any
change in the aspect of American affairs tina
will bring US relief, and if We are to act ate
all, it will be saving needless misery to act a
once with gentleness and courtesy, but will
immovable firmnesss in words.
