THE LONDON TIMES ON THE BAT
TLE Off LEESBURG.
Those who have taken their views of
the 2\rneti ten civil war from the repre
sentations of the north, must now be
gin to have some doubts of their own
wisdom. Happy will it be, we believe
for Amei-i.- I,th.it th ty are a s:n ill mi r*
orty; and that the great body of he na
tion judged for itself in so important
jj, matter Had our Government and
people been led away in the early part
of this year to cheer on the crusade of
the North; to echo its assertions about
the weakn ss of the secessionist move
ment, and to join in piedieting the
Union’s sptedy victory, what would
have been our position now? Instead
of standing in a decent neutrality be
tween two powerful and incensed na
tions, for so must they now be called;
instead of being able, when the time
comes, to speak with the calm of impar
tiality and he confidence derived i.om
just anticipations we, should have
h< en merely a set of partizlans,
doomed to explain away our hasty en
husiasm.
V\ hatever may be the end be this
A-. ericim contest, Englishmen will of
happy that they counselled peace.—
Siiould the Confederates establish their
independence, they will not lie able to
accuse us of trying t> strangle tieir
nationality in the cradle. Should the
present dilferences result in :i “trar.sac
tion,” by which the Union shill lie s >l
- t •(’■ether for a time, then neilnei
party will have it c > say the burdens left
by season of civil strife were increased
byoiir counsels. 1 ('anything were needed
to confirm th s countiyin it s policy, the
present situation of affairs wotiid be
quite enough. It is now plain that
this must be a gigantic war. It. is but
four or live mo.itiis since we were told
that a single encounter w >ul«I decide
mat ers. Those who professed to know
the i hatacfeis of the Si utlit i ner and
his opp nen ,assured us (hat lhe former
was a mere nosy swaggerer, who
might fight, pretty well for a s'n ;le day
t»ut would be soon overthrown by the
stern moral man of the North. How
comple e has been the mistake of tiio e
who took this 'view ol lhe combatants
may be judged from the present state
of the campaign.
But t.ie event from which we can
gain the b st insight in*-«» the course of
the campaign is . the xece.re defeat
which the Nortlvniers c jf‘.red at Lee*-
burg, and which, if latter ru n »rs be tru ■
was followed by a still more important
reverse a<liy or two afterwards. The
well known it urative we g iv-s of it
was taken from tly? N - v Y" irk Tribune
which cannot be suspected of any favor
towards the en uny, and i may ihere
fore, be c mclti le i that thoie facts arc
sufficiently accurate. In this bloody
encounter one must really admit that
no disgrace at acks to the Norf hern
tionps, who scorn to have done all that
can be expected of men But the les
son should not l e loss on those who
have inflicted on British c ilumni. Tic
battle was the usual American, such ;:s
has been fought in thr te great wars al
ready, and is now likely to detenu n •
he event of a fourth.
In fact, the accounts we published
yesterday might, with changed names
an 1 number,apply almost accurately to
the battle on the M mongah la, in
in which Braddock w.is deleate I m ire
than a him bed years ago, and which
first brought, the n i n i of >n
in n itice. The ped mtic ve'eran, who
with his head full of the art of war,
marched through the wilderness as if
it were Flanders,and had half his f irc i
destroyed by sharp she lters from
behind trees, was but lhe forerunner of
a Burgoyue and a Packenh im, an I n >w
he has a successor in a Federal com
mander, One cannot read without pity
lhe fat- 1 f these unfortunate men. lhe
end was a perfect rout. 1 lie diowning
of the men in attempting torccross the
river wasdreadful incident. Ont of<?ig'i
teen hundred men the loss, according
t<> the official report, was -six hn i Ire 1
and eiglitv. The battle is important
as being, perhaps, the type <»f those to
come. What can the Federals hope I
for in a country like Virginia b i a sue- j

UTTER FROM COL'T.M IUS.
On Thursday, the gunbi-’s Jackson
and Polk went up to within a short dis'
tance of Cairo, n-i 1 p »nred several
rounds into Camp ilolt, oppoisite Cairo
pep| ering the Federals, and compelling
them to leave their tents and scamper
off for their very lives.
The Federals have no guns mounted
at Camp Holt, and our gunboats occu
pied such a position that they could
not be reached either from Cairo or
Bird’s Point. It is believed that these
attacks will speedily bring on an en
gagement —the very thing our boys I
most ardently desire. Al Columbus, I
on Thursday, it was generally rumored j
and believed that an attack on Paducah!

would be made at an eaily d iy. The
Federal force there is said to be reduc*
ed to ab mt 3,000.
Gen, Jeff Thompson is fortifying at
New Madrid, and has no idea that the
Federals are fools enough to attempt to
disiurb him. He i« concentrating a
very large army there, and- doing arf‘
efficient service for the means at his

service.
At Hickman, we are informed, true'
Southerners from Kentucky are arriv
ing in large numbers every day, and
going to Columbus with all possible
dispatch. Indeed, so great is tlfc rush
to Hickman th it is in contemplation te
run a s’eamboat between Hickman
and Columbus, for the special accotn'
mode tion of the Kentucky sympathizers
with the Southern cause.— Memphis

OBJECTS OF THE NAVAL EXPEDI
TION.
The London “Times’’ regards the
movements ofuhe enemy against our
Southern coast as intended for pol
itical effect abroad.
“In spite of the affected indifference
of the Northerners to European opinion
on the war, they must feel that, with
the growing embarrabsments of our
manufacturers, and the distress of our
working classes, th -re must be an in
crease of bitterness agains themselves,
which mty produce inconvenience and
even danger. It is desirable, therefore
to show that not they, but their oppo
nents, are tiie witholders of the cotton
supply. If tiiey cm s ;ize a port and
open it even noin n.rlly t> the trade,
they thereby’tak . away the ground of
complaint which Europe had against
diem. They show that it is not they
who preyeiic cotton from coining out
but tiial it is the Sotithcriieis who keep
it in. That they w.ll get. cotton in any
large quantities no one can believe, for
the Confederate or the State Govern
ments will, of coins*, take care that
every bale, and probably every negro,
shall bo rem >ved frim Lc o‘hood
of the enemy. But stdi the Federals
will have sat’slic I to so ue extent the
de mud- of foreign nulions, inasrniicli
as they will be able to say to us or to
the French: “Here is a port, enter it,
and take all the cotton you can get;
you are at full liberty to trade with all
w.i >in yon can find io t.’adc with.”
When the “Timet'” shows that the
proffer of cotton which Lincoln thus
proposes to Europe, is but a m ickery,
I anil necessarily ho, ii. gives every reas
on to anticipate that so far troin its
conciliating l'< reign gov rnimn's, they
will regard any such calculation as an
insult to their intelligence. The South
ern people stand ready to exchange
their cutton for goods of the Old World
so soon as they can do so honorably;
blit to expect* them to surrender thu
very object of their struggle tor that
privilege, only shows what follies may
possess men without destroying life.—
Port Roy •!, in possession of Yankee
ships, is, of course, as sealed a port to
ns as B tsfou. To talk about the Con
federates trading there under tribu <»
to the enemy ami recognizing their au
thority, is utterly idle; and he sensi
ble world will so pronounce it. Nei Il
er “the French” nor the English will
be caj ded by any such trilling with a
grave question. Ol the military results
11 lie expected from these expeditons,
the “ i'imes” says:
“Seldom in theliislmy of war has much
good been done by the occupation of
points on an enemy’s co is’, and on
such an im nense territory litdo im
pression can be made by an expedition
ary force advancing from he sea, and
having no base of operations except its
vessel* anl s i nc halfs ru n d town.—
The hope of weakening the Southern
army on the Po <>:n ic by a diversion,
h is no doubt, had mueli lo do with the
dispatch of the expedition ”
-‘fhe hope of weaking the Southern
army” hrs already proved an illusion.
, McClellan is still fast in his tracks near
Washington. The Confederate legions
I| unit tlu-ir battle flag in his face, and
he is as afraid to move as ever
In every respect these expeditions
will prove failures. They will secure
but li tie plnn le:. They divide the
enemy’s force an I exhaust his resources
more than they do ours. They give
him many distantand scattered points to
defend, at all of which he may at any
. time meet with disaster if he fails to
keep himself in strength.
True, we shall have to endure such
losses and inconveniences as pirates
inflct Individuals will be robbed.—
But the strength of the Confederates
will remain unaffected. No people were
ever conquered by predatory inroads or
by thieving parties. Their spirits arc
but madden not broken. They arc in
furiated andvcnergiscd, not subdued.
H. I'l. Linville has just com*
pleted mounting a 32 pounder siego
gun, which was taken from his es(ab-»
lishment yesterday afternoon to be
placed in position for the defence of the
city. This is the first 32 pounder ever
mounted as a siege gun in Georgia.—
The carriage is of Georgia white oak
timber, and tho iron work is of the best
finish and most substantial character,--*
