From a New Orleans Letter in n. Y. Post.l
No Peace with DlsunIon Possible.


If there be those among you who begin
to count the cost of suppressing the re-
bellion, and to regard its suppression as a
thing impracticable; who desire and are
seeking to find that. in our condition, inn
possible thing-hOnordbEe pe0ce-let me
forewarn them, they know not what they
do. Peace, and a dissolution of the Union
our fathers made. Peace, and the recog-
milton of that monstrosity called the
Confederate States" That would be but
the beginning Of amending wars. or wars
ending only with the establishment of
other nationalities, if, ~unhappily, the
restoration of the Union proved an i'm
possibility.
In the great basin of our majestic river,
above the points where the waters rolling
down from the western slope of our own
Alleghanies, unite with those flowing
from the base of the Rocky Mountains,
there reside nearly ten million brave and
stalwart men, who slake their thirst and
lave their persons in the myriad fountains
which Join themselves to make up the
Father of Waters" To them all the
broad acres in 1.-The great valley" all the
tributaries of its great inland sea, and the
sea itself to where it is united with the
Gulf of Mexico, are a necessity. Below
the point indicated there dwell one mill
ion. We will not venture to say they are
less patriotic, less stalwart, or less cour-
ageous than ourselves. Fain would we
be their brothers. But God and nature
have made our valley one. Its jurisdic-
ton must be and remain one. Let none
rashly dare its severance.
Think you our ter millions will permit
any million of men, or five, or ten times
any million of men, to hold a divided
control or ~governance over any part of
this majestic river-the highway to the
ocean and the outer world which Nature
has made for us and our posterity? No,
sir, never. So long as the mighty river
upon whose shores l write these lines
flows onward to the ocean, so long will
the people of the Northwest hold over it
a united or supreme control.

We are in receipt of cheering news from
the Gulf coast. The rumors that Mobile
is in our possession seems to grow in eon-
.sistenoe. As yet we have nothing, except
through rebel channels. The statement
is their own, and begins to sun proha-
bility. If it prove true, then Charleston
and Savannah are their only ocean ports.

REBEL APPEALS TO ENGLISH FEARs-Now
that King Cotton has been fosnd an ineffective
agent in securing the forcible intervention of
England, the rebel journals are shifting their
tactics and are appealing to her timidity. The
last number of the Richmond Dispatch has an
article in which it conjures up fearful picture
Of her doom in the event of a reunion being ef-
fected between the Month and South. In the first
place she is to lose Canada; next, her fleets are
to be swept from the ocean, and then the loss
of all her colonial possessions-the West In
dies, Australia and India-is to follow. As the
reconstruction Of the Union will inevitably take
place, whatever course England may choose to
pursue in our regard, we present the above
recapitulation Of facts to the careful attention
of Englishmen with recommendation for
them to consider whether it will not be well for
them to conciliate the good feeling of the North
by pursuing frank and honest policy towards
it whilst yet it is in their power. From the
present language Of the rebel journals they can
see how ready Southerners would be to concur
in q war against them in revenge for the insin-
csrity Of their conduct towards them. Those
who play double game must expect to reap .
double harvest of enmities.

ENGLISH MILITARY CRITICISMS ON THE WAR;
The London Army and Navy Gazette, in an ar
ticle on the progress Of the war, has the follow
ing remarks on the inaction of our army in Vir-
gina =
There is the North with double the white population OF
the South, all dying to die for the Union without any
foreign and internal element TO distract their strength and
attenton-with the command OF the and with free
intercourse with all the nations OF the world which
sell them munitions OF war furnish them with mercs-

water communications-with the most virtuous intel

Nxw York HERALD, and everything that ought to COM
mand success standing al bay the Northern frontiers
OF Virginia before enemy which has all the disad.
vantages and all the advantages which have fallen to the
lot OF the federals
The above is all true or was so at the time it
was written, the only thing in connection with
it to which exception is to be taken being the
writer's speculations as to the causes of the in
action which excites his wonderment The
North has had all the powerful auxiliaries of
which he speaks, the New YORK HERALD in
cluded but they have been paralyzed by in
fuences which have been left out of his calcula-
tions. Had he read the debates in Congress in
March last, and followed the articles of the
Union journals since, he would have seen that
the inaction Of our forces in Virginia was caused
not by any want of competency or energy on
the part Of our commanders, or of spirit of
enthusiasm on the part of our troops, but by
the obstacles thrown in the way of General
Mcclellan by the radicals, and the pressure
brought to bear on the President for his re-
moval-a pressure which he declared himself
unable to resist. The New YORK HERALD used
its most strenuous efforts to defeat those malign
influences, and therefore our English military
contemporary is correct in setting it down as
one Of the most effective of the forces employed
in the vigorous prosecution of the war.
