The following extracts from the latest English papers received, will be found in teresting : ( [Prom the Londoh Globe, Msy 20 ] It is plain that General Grant is playing a bold game for high stakes. Wi* his main a.rmy in the imiir wf Beaton Virginia, h« strikes directly” at Biohmond. To facilitate this, hiB ohief objeot, he had set in motion two colnmna on his flanks—tho right oolomn in the Shenandoah Valley, while guarding that road, it visibly dependent for its safety on the sceeees of *e main army; the lo!t column, on the right bank of *e James, at present inde pendent of *e main army, would no less be eomptllsd to vstr.at by any failnre in the cen tre Supposing tbe main army to he success ful, then Siegel and'Smith’s columns may be- eome thsrp and d, atraolive weapons. What General Grant aimed at was, proba bly, to fight and defeat General Lee'as soon as be cotnJ in Spotsylvania, and drivo him to retreat, not upon Richmond, bat upon Gordcnrvillr; then to move rapidly over the Not* Anna upon tbe Central Virginia Rail way, thus ialerjroaiog between Richmond and Lee, and, trusting to ihs activity and skill of Siegel and Burnside to hold Lee in the moan- tains, then to attack-Richmond on one or other banks, or bo* banks, of the James, with his own and 8mi*’s troops. If this conjeo- turo be correct, it most be confessed Ihs) Gen. Grant has entered upon a largo and perilous undertaking. . Whether it is correot, how far it ia oorrsot, how the! Confederates fared in ihe notion which appears to have begun on ths Gib, wo shall not know for some days. But so far as wa oan read the meagre information supplied to-dsy, such are the impressions it leaves on onr mind, [From tho London Nows (Exstsr Ball organ), May 21st ] * lt is perhaps somewhat prema ture to epeoulate with any confidence on the campaign whioh has jut opened. Evan some of ihs principal faots seem to be doubted.— Thus. Whilst on the cno hand *e landing of Butler’s troops at City Point is stated aa cer tain by Borne, on tbe other hand it seems to be believed by others that Butler is advancing from Gloucester Point, which is on tbe north, bank of York river, upon Lbb’b communica tions This latter corjcetur* seems scarcely probsble. for it is utterly inoonsistontwith the intelligence that Beauregard is at Petersburg* with 80,000 men, for such a force in such a position would be absolutely uselesi. The prcrbsbillty is that Grant has intentionally spread all sorts of false rumors, in order tb drosivs the gaping publio of Now York and his adversaries, to judge from the newspa per aocounts, he has admirably succeeded in his design. tub' FEELING IN LIVERPOOL. [from the Liverpool Journal, May 21.] . * Although everybody has arrived at the conclusion that tbe battle In Virginia has been fought, nobody har tpade np his mind an to tbe result. The talk on ’Change, yea, teroay, was that if tbe Federate have been un equivocally triumphant, tha war writ soon be over, but that, if the Confederates have won *e great fight, or oven held their own, the war wiirgo on for a few months longer, when, from confessed exhaustion an bo* sides, a compromise will he inevitable; that *4 worst fear, however, ia generally *o strong one, end that the big fear is that Grant will win; that in tfcat case sundry people will have to pnt their booses in order; that reaction is always accelerated by tutfonnded apprehension; that vague reports about tSe quantity of cotton in America will at first be credited, and that im patient stllrre will throw down the market, .that bankers will look grave add proceod to realir.s; that creditors will he urgent andyua- licioas; that epeenlaton will shun (he Flags, >r all that is left of them, and that the do- iretsion will be unnatural; that, on the other hand, if Ihe chance of peace retires still far ther in *e distance, spinners will become venturesome; thst tho speoalalbrs will take stock of clronmstanots, and aftivo at the eon- olnalon that the denufhd for eotton will ex- oe d the supply, and that prices not yet dreamt of will bo realized. 4 OPINION IH MAEOBESTEB.

The recommendation of ths Provost Marshal Gen eral ta approved by this Department, and I trust that lt will be recommended by yon to Congress. The recent successes that bavo attended onr arms lead to the hope that by msinlainiilg oar military* strength, and giving it snob an in- creaee aa the exteuded field of operations may require, an early'termination of the war may be obtained. -Biit to accomplish this it' is ab solutely neooss try that efficient means be taken with viger and promptaeaa to keep ta* army up to its strength, and supp y dafioien- clqfi occasioned by kisses in the field. To ta st end resort most be bed to a draft: bat ample experience has now shown that the peenniory exemption frustrates ths ot jut of the Enrollment law by furnish lag money in- stead cf man. + An additional reason for repeating the ex- emption danse ta that it is oontemplatod to make the draft for comparatively a shortterm. The burden of military servica will thorefstto be tightened; bat its certainty of furnishing troops ta an absrlnte essential to success. I have ihe honor to beyonr obedient servant. Edjtin M.

I see no reason to believe that tbe army oan be materitoUy strengtaened by draft so long as tbe three hundred dollar clause is in force; nor do ( th ink it safe to assume that the commutation paij by t, dra,fled man will enable the government to procure a volunteer or substitute in his piece. I do sot think that large bounties by the United States should be again resorted to for raising troops.

Per fect confidence was, felt at the War Office en yesterday as to tae safety of Lyoohburg.
