The Washington correspondence OF the
New York World, writing uader date
Of March 25th, says
Several officers in Washington, who do
not believe that the success OF our arms is
attached 70 the promotion Of O general, re-
gret very much the order which has trans
icrred General Grant from Tennessee to
Virginia. They pronouncs that order both
unwise and impolitic, and say it will add
nothing 10 the prompt termination of the
wars this IS not on account of any deficiency
in General Grants ability-quite the con
trary--bnt On account of a difference. Of
opinion IA regard 10 the importance OF our
strategical position in Tennessee and GeJr-
gia.
The persons, among whom arc found sew
eral generals OF high standing, believe that
the vital part Of the rebellion is not ia Vir-
GINA, but in the extreme South, agd that a
blow in that direction viii be more sensibly
felt by the rebels in g moral and material
point Of view than the capture Of Rich
mGHd.
If this be true, all those dissenting
Generals should at once be weeded out
We have had little experience rela-
tive to such subordination and it has
been particularly felt in the Potomac
army It is doubtful if even Popes in
capacity could be sufficient to secure a
rebel victory at the second battle Of
Bull Run, had his subordinates obeyed
his orde-s. These Generals who are so
fastidious that they wont take part in
the execution of policy they can't
control, had better retire to civil life at
once. lie is a fool who does not see
that Richmond is the head and heart
of the Confederacy. Such an one IS
unfit to wear a corporaIs stripes.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April /, "a.
The Wilder Battery came into your
city near two weeks ago, and tomorrow
it leaves for Murfreesboro. Since our
tarry with you, have been impressed
with the Importance of peace. 1t is
desirable all along the war-washed bor-
ders of Dixie Every interest Of the
South urges peace The current of Vi
tality that once swelled the tide Of
languishes for u restored
peace. The wild pillows OF the war, as
they break in rude, red waves over her
battle-torn and bleeding bosom, IN
the wall of woe, filling the
cup of sorrow to the brim, grinding
pride into poverty and patriotism into
the dust, rage and wrestle fer peace
Gaunt famine looks into her sad habi-
tations and finds the broken household
lamenting for peace. Old men and
little children, matrons and maidens,
soldiers widows and orphaned babies,
f finishing in his remorseless grasp, with
heavy hearts and fearful eyes, crave
the return of peace. A nation cries:
" How long Oh, Lord how long
But the leading traitors who would not
accept peace at the beginning, viii not
embrace it now Their hard hearts are
more delighted with the harsh greet
ines of war Lucifer is their God
There is only one alternative Peace
must be the price of blood. The sword
must conquer and the bayonet es-
tablish it. 1t must leap in tones Of
terror, and flash in flames of fury from
the lannon's mouth.

THE LATEST NEWS,
BY LAST NIGHTS MAIL.

WASHINGTON, March, 3l,-The SEQ
rotary of the Navy responding to the
Senate resolution of inquiry, says that
no transfers of seamen from the army
10 the navy have been effected under
the recent act of Congress, and thirty
five vessels of war are now awaiting
their compliments. Not only are they
waiting for their crews, but the terms
of many seamen have expired and the
men are determined to manage our
ships though they are Justly entitled 10
a discharge Were they not detained
many vessels on blockade duty would
have to 90 out of service. This state
of things is to be deplored, and is in
great measure, if not entirely at
tributable to unfortunate legislation
The enrolment act of the last Con
gress so utterly ignored the naval SER
vice, that enlistments in that service
were permitted to be credited on the
quotas of the communities % which
they were drawn, and when the draft
came to be enforced, in addition to
these obstacles, the appropriation for
extraordinary bounties for army enlist
ments were made, while not a dollar
was paid to the naval service, and held
out strong inducements for the militia
~ service.
1t appears from an official communi-
cation to the Secretary Of War, that
the strength of the army in Kansas
and Indian territories subject to the
order of Gen. Curtis, is 5000

The Fnture of America.

An English Reviewer, in closing
long and able article an the Civil War
in America, refers to the fact that
though we have not yet pushed our mil
itary successes to the point of final vic
tory, the events Of the past three years
have wrought changes here which must
henceforth place the United States in
new relations to other States In the
greatest silence it says, "the Ameri-
cans have become a nation, the States
a state the Congress q Parliament, a
party chief a ruler, and train-bands a
regular army. Here the war has crea-
ted something great, which will survive
the war. The United States were up
to the present time, only the material
for great power, but now they are one.
When the civil war Is terminated, and
if so, by a victory of the North, the
Monroe doctrine-America for the
Americans-will rise in a different form
1t will claim respect southwark as far
as Terre del Fuego, and northward to
the whaling grounds of the Melville
Straits. If slavery should be abolished
in the South 10y force of arms, viii it DO
tolerated any longer in Cuba? With
the evidently increasing liking for wars
of conquest, will the Americans be able
to endure foreign toll-bars at the north
end of st. Lawrence Bridge at Mon
treal2 And if by that time the French
have not evacuated Mexico, viii they
not be helped on their homeward routeY
We leave it to time and events to an
swer these most pertinent inquiries.
In view of a possible reply, after the
manner suggested by the English prog
nosticator, it may be well for those most
interested to consider now, while there
is opportunity, whether they seriously
propose to dispute with US the question
of supremacy on the continent where
we have 50 long been accustomed TO
dominate. If it were policy to main
tain the stdtlt quo while the United States
were but the material for great ma
ton, is il wise 10 disturb ii now that
they are so fast convincing the most
stubborn skeptic that they are a great
nation, rich in resources, united and
vigorous in action, trained and discip-
lined TO war? If il was the part OF
wisdom to maintain friendly relations
with US when devoted 10y tradition.
policy and interest TO peace, how much
more now that we are armed and strip
cd for the fight With the exception of
some occasional elbowing Of our British
friends across the lakes, as on the North
eastern frontier and at Puget Sound,
and the ili-starred and unauthorized
expeditions of Cuban and Central
American filibusters, we have never
been charged with disturbing existing
relations on this continent Nor should
we do so; but the status once interior
ed with by any Of the high contract
ing parties, it becomes question of
the strongest, and, If it come to this, we
do not fear the issue.--Army and Nary

RETALIATIoN.-Bet the war "Chef of
Staff Halleck wrote book on the laws OF
war, and as the Republican papers are now
cIamoring for retaliation for the Fort Pillow
massacre upon the prisoners of war we will
quote from Halleck upon the subject:
If the enemy refu ses to shape bis conduct
by the mider usages of war, and adopts the
extreme and rigorous principles of former
ages, we may do the same; but, if he exceeds
these extreme rights and becomes barbarous
and cruel in his conduct we cannot, as a
general thing, follow and retort upon his
subjects by treating in like manner. We
cannot 90 beyond the limits prescribed by
international law to beigeren,s. Il
Suppose an enemy should massacre all pris,
oners of war, this would not afford a suf'
cient justification for the opposing belge-
rent to do the same. Suppose an enemy
should use poisoned weapons, or should poi
son springs or food, the rule of reciprocity
would not justify us in resortng to the same
means of retaliation. A savage enemy
might kill alike old men, women and chill
dren, but no civilized power would resort to
similar measures of cruelty and barbarism,
under the plea that they were justified by
the laws of retaliation.

PEACE AND WAR DEMOCRATS Some two
or three Of our exchanges talk of some un-
armed Democrats AS Peace Democrats. and
Of Others as War Democrats. We are sick
OF such trash. We want to hear no more
of it. There are no true Democrats but
those who are for the Union as it came to
us from our ancestors, and for the Constitu
ton as interpreted by Democratic Presidents
and the Supreme Court-al Others are bast>
ards. Sustaining the Constitution and Union
means peace, therefore the Democracy are
for peace as quick as it can be brought about
On this question there is no division among
Democrats, and those who try to incite
distinctions and divisions among them are
aiding the blood-thirsty abolitionists When
Butler, Burnside Dickinson, ID. Tod, Brouet
and host OF Others we might name were in
the Democratic party, they were constantly
naming themselves and others this and that
kind of Observation-Disclosures wanting a han,
die to Democracy and we see where they
have gone. Let their fate be warning to
those who are inclined to follow their tracks
