The Future ol the >Var.
A eotomporary comes to the conclu
sion that parties at tho North are organ
ising for the Prp-idential contest of 1804
upon tlie issue of Peace or War for tho
preservation of tho Union, and that the
war must continue until that cioc.Lion
So farm the simple question of pcnco
*r war is concerned, wo regard this
.•nnoluoioD as the only probablo and ra
tional one that we can udopt, from the
hghts heforo us. Kvnn were tho people
.,f both eouhtries heartily tirod of tlie
war und willing to close it on tho basis
,.\n separation, there is the perplexing
question of a boundary lino to prevont a
treaty of peace. No mutter what party
might bo in power at the North, until
tlm fortunes of the war shall have given
met: a more definite idea of a just and
acceptable boundary lino there could bo
uo formal establishment of friendly rela
tions. It is evident that the war has not
yet defined such a line -one that attracts
the attention of both sides as satisfactory
and in accordance with tho wishes of the
people along the border. "We, therefore,
are by no means sanguino of a formal
peace before-the Federal Presidential
election, or eve.) very shortly alter that
Hut if the two belligerents keep up tho
contest much longer on its present scab*,
snd with tho activity that has charac
terized it tor the last two years, they wid
have exhibited a spirit of endurance and
implacability very rare in this century,
it is evidently one of tho most exhausting
wars ou modern record. It desolates
unenro areas, and taxes with groat
verity tho resources of the belligerents,
has come much nearer calling out the
:tiro fighting population of tho ,States
engaged than any great and long-<
tinuod war for imply years, and it has
few exuinplcs in the extent to which
lias substituted war for pcaco ns t
Inidnouoccupation of t he pooplu. Per-
nH|is this last fact discloses the reason
why its privations and exhaustion are
not more severely folt by homo classes.
Fictitious prices and plenty of work for
the government or tlie army may keep
up fnf a whilo ft dolusivo appearance of
prosperity. Hut this condition of tiling
isonlv temporary, and must now be near
its end in the Unitod States. When the
■ bubble of an inflated currency explodes,
tho collapse will be sudden nnd prostra
ting. Tho Government will then realign
i its bankruptcy iuu doublo senso—its ina
bility to raise tlie means lor tho prose
cution of tho war on such a scale, nnd its
lor i of tho favor of tboso who stood by it
while times went easy with them and the
war visited upon them no privations or
tuflhrings. Wo believe that this ex
hausting st a go of tho conflict will soon
greatly diminish the w .rliko operations
und moderate tho pretensions of tho
Yurikco Government, and that af.ora
while tho war will either shrink to com
paratively small proportions, or a bound
ary satisfactory to the belligerents will
be so sharply defined as to admit of a
peaceful arrangement.

Correction Amended.
Our neighbor of the Timm very prop
erly hoots at the statement going tho
rounds of the press (and which wo took
occasion to correct a week ago) to the
effect that “moro cotton has left tho port
of Charleston alone, during the past six
months, than has been raised
Oharlvaton daily
Thu above computation fulls far sbo
(, f exposing the full measure of tho n!
surdity pf the statement. Lot the Tim-
revise its arithmetic, thus—180 X2,222
Instead of shipping out 4,000,000
of bales in six month*, only HXl.OOO would
t»e shipped out, leaving nine-tenths of tho
"ock still on hand. An experienced
cotton dealer rornarkod to us, a fow days
■'nee, that no one port of tho Confede
racy could ship tho cotton now in the
country in a whole year, and wo do not
question the correctness of the calcula
tion. It would roquire tho shipment of
over 11,000 bains per day (including Sun
days) to do the work, and the arrival and
d-parturo of eight or ten largo vessels
P«r day. (.’.mid tin shipping do this large
business at any one port, it is too plain to
require a calculation thut it would bo
impossible for its railroad and river
tranfipjrtation to accumulate the cotton
f »r exportation within n year.

were arming tho negroes and making sol

this until now, when there is no longor
room to doubt it. Our army found at
the Bend many negroes, man, women
ami children—tho men uniformed, armed
und regularly organized into regiments;
and when I toll you that some cluimodto
have belonged to tho 11th Louisiana, you
’.ni. oc that our onemies are going into
thi infamous business with no sparing
hands.
In the light yesterday, nfter we had
completely routed the Yankees, and tlmy
wero in full retreat toward thoir Coats,
our men in pursuit of them encountered
a negro regiment, who, seeing tho defeat

Gun. Pat. Clehuune.—“Bayonet,”
writing to tho Mobile Register from

Cleburne.
“Tho notable man of our army is Gen.
Cleburne, who has risen with the rapidity
of a Claude Melnotto or a meteor. He
begat
i tho \
oightoon months was a Major General —
And this without going through WjMt
Point and without political influences.—
lie fought his way up by hard knocks,
ouch fiuqcesn argil os both extraordinary
merit and extraordinary luck. No roan,
however inherently great, can get along
without luck, and an tho adaga goes, “a
fool lor luck,' 1 they generally having a
monopoly of tho article. But. occasion
ally luck nnd murit meet in tho same
man, and then comos a Claude Molnc-tto
or a Cleburne."
Wo will add that Gen. Patrick Clo-
burne is an Irishman, and holds a higher
rank in our army than Corcoran or
