II IS stated that Gen. Scott, in a recent
conversation on the developments of the
war, remarked that the fighting had only
commenced, and that the real hard fighting
was yet to take place. He also added that
the administration had fooled away nearly
every golden opportunity, and thus, instead
Of ending this rebellion, as they could have
done long since, have extended 1t to the
distant futare-N Y. Herald
No enc sees more clearly than Gen ScoTT,
how the interests OF the war are sacrificed
to the condition of political men.
1t is deplorable to think that there is a
large class of citizeLs who are pecuniarily
interested in the prolongaton of the war
aud that there are Others whose ambition
lesds them in the same direction.

ISTtNArroSs are given from various
sources that active operations in Virginia
will be abandoned by the Union army,
and while an elFicient force is reserved for
the prot ction of the capital, the bulk Of
the Ormy of the Potomac will be employed
elsewhere. Indeed, formidable columns
have already been sent to aid in the re.
duetion OF Charleston, and it is probable
Gen. Foster has already been reinforced to
. degree sufficient to enable him to protect
the loyalists of North Carolina 10 their
movements for returning to the Union.
II the Nationsl Government has deter.
mined to transfer active operations from
Virginia further southwark, the policy
is prompted by the purpose to cut vir.
gIuia of from the Gulf States. For with
a Union army advancing from the sea
coast into the interior, in sufficient strength
to bold the positions 1t should occupy,
Rosecrans would be A0le to form juno.
ton either in the western part of North
Carolina or in Northern Georgia. Such a
movement, after the fall of Charleston,
would hardly involve any great battles
1t would isolate Lees army or compel 1t to
evacuate Virginia in sudden and dsas.
trouS retreat. The alternative to such u
result would be either that Lee should be
able to gain decided advantage before
Washington, or that be should move
southwark with rapidity and place himself
in such position as to defeat the Union
column advancing from the east before
1t could accomplish Its junction with the
western column. The transfer OF the In.
ion forces southwark, assuming the rumors
to that effect to be true, would imply con.
hdence that Lees army is not In condition
to succeed 10 either attempt; and that
while Washington IS safe against any dem.
onStratiou he may make, the Union armies
may form belt across North Carolina aud
Tennessee which will separate Virginia
from the Gulf States, and compel It's sur.
render to the Union, and the retreat and
Generalization IL not The capture and scat.
tcrIng Of Lees whole army.

Prom lIRrpsrE' Weekly:
GROVELING.

The letter Of James Buchanan to JefFer.
son Davig, dated March l6, 1850, aud lately
made public, is a striking Illustration OF
the scrvile obsequiousness Of the Northern
political allies of the shareholders who
governed this country until two years ago.
The cFinging, fwniug, supplicAting, shiy-
erinR, slohbering tone Of this letter is that
oil an eastern slave addressing a despot,
It makes the disdain oFthe master respcc,.

fellow eonspiFators possibly persuade
themselves that country which, at their
bidding, could elect as President sush a
craven tool Hs they knew Buchanan to be.
would even try 10 resist the fate which
they, with his conniVance, bad prepared
for the country?
The sole aim Of this man was to propi-
tate the slaveholding class. His only de.
sire was to impress scorntul Southern
leader with the conviction that he was
"moFe Southern than the South.n He knew
no country but the South, He knew moth
log TO be served but slavery. He was CRATE.
